Description

[Background technology]

[0001] TNF-related apoptosis-inducing ligand (TRAIL, Apo2L) is an endogenous protein that selectively induces apoptosis in cancer cells. TRAIL is a potent inducer of apoptosis in a wide range of human cancer cell lines by engaging either the extrinsic or intrinsic apoptotic pathways via the cell surface proapoptotic death receptor 4 (DR4, TRAIL-R1) and death receptor 5 (DR5, TRAIL-R2). TRAIL plays a direct role in tumor suppression during immune surveillance, but this antitumor mechanism is lost during disease progression. Because TRAIL can selectively initiate apoptosis in cancer cells, clinical trials are currently underway involving the administration of recombinant TRAIL and long-lived TRAIL-agonist antibodies targeting either of its two proapoptotic death receptors.

[0002] Despite its efficacy, recombinant TRAIL has properties that limit its effectiveness, such as short serum half-life, stability, cost, and delivery. Delivery of recombinant TRAIL or TRAIL-agonist antibodies to the brain is limited by the inability of recombinant TRAIL and TRAIL-agonist antibodies to cross the blood-brain barrier. Therefore, there is a continuing need for anti-cancer compositions and methods. Summary of the Invention [Means for solving the problem]

[0052] In one aspect, the present disclosure provides a method for treating a subject with a condition, such as cancer, by administering a drug that modulates the transcription, translation, or biological activity of YTHDF3 or other proteins in Tables 1 and 3, or nucleic acids encoding these proteins. Drugs include, but are not limited to, siRNAs, antisense nucleic acids, ribozymes, triple-helix-forming agents, antibodies, and polypeptides, as well as small molecule compounds. Preferably, the siRNAs, antisense nucleic acids, ribozymes, and triple-helix-forming agents inhibit the translation or transcription of one or more genes in Tables 1 and 3. To achieve this, oligonucleotides are designed based on appropriate sequences unique to the target gene. Various gene therapy approaches can be used in accordance with the present invention to modulate the expression of genes in Tables 1 and 3. For example, antisense DNA molecules can be designed and used to inhibit the translation of YTHDF3 mRNA in vivo. Alternatively, ribozyme molecules can be designed to cleave and destroy YTHDF3 mRNA in vivo. Alternatively, oligonucleotides designed to hybridize to the 5' site of the YTHDF3 gene (including the region upstream of the coding sequence) and form a triple helix structure inhibit or reduce transcription of the YTHDF3 gene. In yet another alternative, a nucleic acid encoding a full-length wild-type YTHDF3 message can be introduced in vivo into cells that otherwise cannot produce the wild-type YTHDF3 gene product in sufficient quantities or at all.

Such terms are found to be defined and used in the context of various reference sources. Examples of these sources include:J. Sambrook and DWRussell,Molecular Cloning: A Laboratory Manual,Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory Press;3rd Ed.,2001;FMAusubel,Ed.,Short Protocols in Molecular Biology,Current Protocols;5th Ed.,2002;B.Alberts et al.,Molecular Biology of the Cell,4th Ed.,Garland,2002;DLNelson and MMCox,Lehninger Principles of Biochemistry,4th Ed.,WHFreeman & Company,2004;Engelke,DR,RNA Interference(RNAi):Nuts and Bolts of RNAi Technology,DNA Press LLC,Eagleville,Pa.,2003;Herdewijn,P.(Ed.),Oligonucleotide Synthesis:Methods and Applications,Methods in Molecular Biology,Humana Press, 2004; A.

The contents of each of the foregoing documents are incorporated herein by reference in their entirety.

[0064] The singular forms "a," "an," and "the" are not intended to be limiting and include plural referents unless expressly indicated or clearly indicated otherwise by context.

[0065] As used herein, the term "substituted" means replacing any one or more hydrogens on the specified atom with a group selected from the indicated group, provided that the substitution does not exceed the normal valence of the specified atom and results in a stable compound. When the substituent is keto (i.e., =0), two hydrogens on the atom are replaced. Keto substituents do not occur on aromatic moieties. As used herein, a ring double bond is a double bond formed between two adjacent ring atoms (e.g., C=C, C=N, or N=N).

[0066] In any substituent or formula of a compound, any variable (e.g., R 4 ) occurs more than one time, its definition on each occurrence is independent of its definition at every other occurrence. Thus, for example, a group may contain 0 to 3 R 4 When a group is indicated to be substituted with a moiety, the group may optionally be substituted with up to three R 4 well substituted with part, and also with each occurrence of R 4 is R 4 Similarly, combinations of substituents and / or variables are permissible only if such combinations result in stable compounds.

[0067] When an atom or chemical moiety is followed by a subscripted numerical range (e.g., C 1-6 ), it will be understood to include each value within a range as well as all intermediate ranges. For example, "C 1-6 "Alkyl" is meant to include alkyl groups having 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 1-6, 1-5, 1-4, 1-3, 1-2, 2-6, 2-5, 2-4, 2-3, 3-6, 3-5, 3-4, 4-6, 4-5, and 5-6 carbons.

[0135] Scheme 3 illustrates the synthesis of a compound of formula (10):

[0136] [ka]

[0137] Compounds of formula (10) above are synthesized starting from substituted piperidones, which are converted by reaction with substituted aminoimidazolines to give the core compounds (10). Two routes are available, one in which the R1 substituent is present in the piperidone (e.g., 68). In this route, 68 is acylated with dimethyl carbonate in toluene using sodium hydride at 80 °C to form the piperidone ester (69). Commercially available methylthioimidazoline HI salt (63) is reacted with an amine in dioxane at 70 °C to give the R2-substituted aminoimidazoline (64) as its HI salt. Direct reaction of 64 with the piperidone ester (69) in 1-butanol at reflux with water removal using a Dean-Stark trap for 3–6 h affords the tricyclic compounds (10). In a variation of this scheme, N-BOC-protected piperidone 61 is converted to the BOC-protected compound 65 in the same manner, and the BOC group is removed by treatment with HCl in dioxane, followed by conversion to the free base 66 using 1N NaOH and extraction with methylene chloride. Subsequent treatment of 66 with halide 67 or epoxide 70 affords the desired compound 10.

[0138] The crude product can be purified by column chromatography eluting with methylene chloride:methanol or by HPLC using acetonitrile:TFA:HO to yield the final product as the free base or TFA salt. Treatment of the free base with HCl in dioxane or lyophilization of the TFA salt yields product (10) as the HCl or TFA salt. Alternatively, the free base may be treated with another inorganic or organic acid to form other salts, typically selected from those known to be pharmaceutically acceptable salts. Salts of compound (10) are typically solids, and in some instances have been crystallized from ethanol or other solvents to yield high-quality crystals. The tricyclic chemical formula structure has been conclusively confirmed in the case of compound (1) by X-ray crystallography and NMR.

[0139] The compounds of the present disclosure, with or without an aminoalkyl linker (e.g., compound 33), can be used to identify molecules (e.g., proteins) that interact with them in specific cellular contexts. Expression of these binding targets can be used to predict response to compound 1 (ONC201) or its analogs (i.e., serve as biomarkers). Additionally, these compounds can be used to screen structurally unrelated anti-cancer compounds using competition assays known in the art to identify drugs that can outcompete target interactions with higher affinity. Furthermore, these molecules may possess drug properties that provide therapeutic improvements or enable additional therapeutic uses by altering drug properties, including, but not limited to, pharmacokinetics, efficacy, safety, biodistribution, or metabolism.

For example, competition and other assays known in the art can be used to identify drugs that can outcompete target interactions with higher affinity and compare changes in those levels to the respective changes caused by compound (1) or an analog thereof. Assays can also be performed on living mammalian cells, which more closely approximates the effect of a drug on specific serum levels in the body or on microsomal extracts prepared from cultured cell lines.

Additionally, full or partial genome sequence information can be used. Such sequences can be determined using standard sequencing methods, including chain termination (Sanger dideoxynucleotide), dye-terminator sequencing, and SOLID™ sequencing (Applied Biosystems). The entire genome sequence can be digested with restriction enzymes or (mechanically) cut into shorter fragments for sequencing. DNA sequences can also be amplified using known methods, such as PCR and vector-based cloning methods (e.g., E. coli). In one embodiment, at least a portion of a subject's genetic material (e.g., DNA, RNA, mRNA, cDNA, other nucleotide bases, or derivatives thereof) is scanned or sequenced to identify the presence or absence of mutations or changes in copy number, for example, using conventional DNA sequencers or chip-based technology.

[0337] Example 8. Synthesis of ONC201 (compound (1))

[0338] Compound (3) (239.7 g, 0.845 mol, 1.6 equiv.) was added portionwise to 800 mL of stirred saturated NaHCO3 in a 2 L round-bottom flask. n-Butanol (500 mL) was added to the resulting mixture, and the mixture was stirred for 30 min before being transferred to a separatory funnel. The organic phase containing compound (4) was separated and transferred to a 2 L three-necked round-bottom flask equipped with mechanical stirring, a N2 inlet, a thermocouple, a condenser, and a Dean-Stark trap. Compound (5) (100 g, 0.528 mol, 1 equiv.) and pyridinium p-toluenesulfonate (PPTS) (6.63 g, 0.026 mol, 5 mol%) were added to the contents of this flask. The resulting mixture was heated to reflux for 6 h. Water in the reaction mixture was separated into the Dean-Stark trap as needed. The reflux temperature was increased from 93 °C to 118 °C. The reaction progress was monitored by HPLC. The reaction was stopped when the peak area of ​​compound (1) on HPLC remained constant with reaction time.

[0339] Example 9. Synthesis of ONC201 di-salt (compound (1)·2HCl)

[0340] Without isolating compound (1), the reaction mixture from Example 8 was washed with 500 mL of water and diluted with methyl tert-butyl ether (MTBE) (800 mL). The organic phase was washed with water (500 mL x 2) and transferred to a 3 L three-necked round-bottom flask equipped with mechanical stirring, a N2 inlet, a thermocouple, a condenser, and a Dean-Stark trap. While stirring the reaction mixture, 1 N HCl in dioxane-MTBE solution was added dropwise until no solid precipitated from the reaction mixture upon addition of HCl (4 N HCl in dioxane: 300 mL, 1.2 mol, 2.27 equiv., MTBE: 1200 mL). The reaction mixture was heated to reflux at 60-65 °C for 2 h. Water was separated into the Dean-Stark trap as needed. Upon cooling to room temperature, the solid precipitate was filtered through a sintered glass funnel and washed with n-butanol-MTBE (1:2, 600 mL) and MTBE (600 mL), respectively. The solid was dried overnight (16 hours) in a vacuum oven at 65° C. to give 200 g of a yellow solid.

[0341] The above solid (200 g) was added to a 2 L three-necked round-bottom flask equipped with mechanical stirring, N2 inlet, thermocouple, and condenser, followed by ethanol (1000 mL). The mixture was heated to reflux at 78 °C for 2 hours. Upon cooling to room temperature, the solid was filtered through a sintered glass funnel and washed with ethanol (200 mL x 3). The wet solid was dried in a vacuum oven at 85 °C for 3 days until the residual solvent met specifications. 120 g of compound (2) was obtained as a white solid with a 49% yield and 99.7% HPLC purity.

[0342] Example 10. Activity of analogues of compound (1)

[0343] A number of representative analogs of compound (1) were prepared based on the synthetic methods of the present disclosure. For each of these compounds, the viability of human cancer cells was measured 72 hours after treatment with the compound. The change in potency (relative to ONC201) was measured and is shown in the table below.

[0344] TIFF2025186367000036.tif159169

[0345] Furthermore, single oral or intraperitoneal administration of compound 52 to mice bearing human colon cancer xenografts resulted in significant reductions in tumor volume compared to vehicle-treated control cohorts. Compound 52 was well tolerated in mice at doses up to at least 225 mg / kg, demonstrating a wide therapeutic window.

[0346] Example 11. Dosage regimen

[0347] Compound (1) is administered to tumor-bearing mice using repeated 7-day cycles according to the following dosing schedule: 1) Day 1: 200 mg / kg orally; 2) Day 1 / Day 4: 100 mg / kg orally per single dose; 3) Day 1 / Day 2: 100 mg / kg orally per single dose; or 4) Day 1: 100 mg / kg orally per single dose, given in two doses 6 hours apart. Evaluate and compare the efficacy of dosing regimens.

[0348] Example 12. Preliminary determination of interaction with compound (1)

[0349] The preliminary therapeutic spectrum of compound (1) in the human colon cancer cell line HCT116 was determined.

[0350] Briefly, compound (33) (ONC911) was immobilized on Sepharose beads at different immobilization densities. For quantitative mass spectrometry analysis, HCT116 human colon carcinoma cells were grown in medium containing different types of isotope-labeled amino acids (SILAC = stable isotope labeling by amino acids in cell culture). The corresponding proteomes could be distinguished by the introduced mass differences. Binding experiments were performed in duplicate using partial label switching to eliminate labeling artifacts. Bound proteins were completely eluted from the affinity matrix, separated by SDS-PAGE, and subjected to trypsin digestion. The recovered peptides were analyzed by LC-MS / MS using an LTQ Orbitrap Velos mass spectrometer (Thermo Fisher). The raw data generated by LC-MS / MS were processed with MaxQuant to obtain quantitative protein abundance data.

[0351] The quantified proteins were analyzed for protein enrichment relative to a control matrix and for competition of binding proteins by incubation with compound 1. Such binding and displacement patterns would be expected for a particular target protein.

[0352] (result)

[0353] First, HCT116 cells were cultured and metabolically labeled by SILAC. Efficient SILAC labeling was achieved, with incorporation rates of arginine and lysine isotope variants exceeding 95%. Sufficient cells were prepared for subsequent experiments. Cell extracts were generated by detergent-mediated cell lysis. Furthermore, to contain nuclear proteins, the remaining cell nuclei were extracted by lysis in the presence of 400 mM NaCl. The cytosol and nuclear extracts were mixed.

[0354] Linker compound 33 (ONC911) was immobilized to Sepharose beads via its amino group. Beads with four different immobilization densities were prepared: 6 mM, 3 mM, 1 mM, and 0.3 mM. These matrices were used to enrich proteins from HCT116 extracts, and the displacement of bound proteins by 50 μM compound 1 was investigated.

[0355] In total, approximately 3600 proteins were identified. Enrichment of specific proteins with immobilized compounds (33) was observed across all binding densities and replicates.

[0356] The number of target candidates increased with immobilization density. Table 3 summarizes the target candidates for compound (1). At the highest binding density (6 mM), enrichment by the affinity matrix and consistent displacement by compound (1) across two replicate experiments were observed for 14 proteins. At a binding density of 3 mM, two promising target candidates were identified, both of which were identical to the candidates at the high binding density. At lower binding densities (1 and 0.3 mM), two and one protein consistently behaved as targets, respectively.

[0357] Additionally, several proteins showed enrichment with the affinity matrix and displacement by compound (1), but displacement was observed in only one of two replicates per binding density. Such proteins are indicated in Table 3 as "OK (with outliers)."

[0358] In summary, the immobilized compound 33 (ONC911) appears to be functional and capable of specifically enriching proteins from cell lysates. Furthermore, clear competition with 50 μM compound 1 was observed.

[0359] [Table 3-1]

[0360] [Table 3-2]

[0361] Target classification: Evaluation of each protein at the indicated binding density of compound ONC216. "OK" indicates that each protein was consistently enriched and competed across two independent replicates. "OK (with outliers)" indicates enrichment by the affinity matrix and displacement by compound (1), but displacement was observed in only one of the two replicates.

[0362] Example 13. GPCR antagonistic effect of compound (1)

[0363] ONC201 was evaluated in a whole-cell functional assay of β-arrestin G protein-coupled receptor (GPCR) activity, which directly measures dopamine receptor activity by detecting the interaction of β-arrestin with activated GPCRs that can serve as reporters. Cell lines overexpressing reporter constructs for each dopamine receptor (DRD1, DRD2S, DRD2L, DRD3, DRD4, and DRD5) were grown from freezer stocks. A total volume of 20 μL of cells was plated into white-walled 384-well microplates and incubated at 37°C before EC201 assay, followed by agonist testing. 80 Cells were stimulated with a concentration of antagonist. A moderate dilution of the sample stock was performed to generate 5x samples in assay buffer. 3.5 μL of the 5x samples were added to the cells and incubated at 37°C or room temperature for 30 minutes. The vehicle concentration was 1%. 6xEC in 5 μL of assay buffer 80 Agonists were added to the cells and incubated at 37°C or room temperature for 90 or 180 minutes before the assay was read using the following formula: % Antagonism = 100% x (1 - (mean RLU of test sample - mean RLU of vehicle control) / (EC 80 Percent antagonism was calculated as the mean RLU of control minus the mean RLU of vehicle control.

[0364] Example 14. Evaluation of the interaction of compound (1) with efflux proteins and transport proteins

[0365] The ability of ONC201 to interfere with transport protein activity is assessed to determine the dosing regimen for ONC201 in combination with a substrate for the transport protein. The timing or dose level of ONC201 in combination with another therapeutic agent may be modified based on the results of these analyses. Transport proteins include solute carriers (SLCs) OATP1B1, OATP1B3, OAT1, OAT3, OCT1, OCT2, MATE1, and MATE2.

[0366] The ability of ONC201 to interfere with efflux proteins was evaluated to determine whether ONC201 could inhibit the ability of these proteins to efflux small molecule substrates. Inhibition of these efflux proteins may enhance the efficacy of efflux protein substrates by binding to ONC201 and increasing their intracellular concentration or altering their biodistribution. Efflux proteins include MDR1 and BCRP.

[0367] The interaction of ONC201 with human MDR1 and BCRP transporters was investigated in vitro using MDR1- and BCRP-overexpressing Madin-Darby canine kidney (MDCKII-MDR1 and MDCKII-BCRP) and parental cells (MDCKII). To determine whether ONC201 is an inhibitor of MDR1 and BCRP, bidirectional permeability studies of the respective probe substrates in MDCKII-MDR1, MDCKII-BCRP, and MDCKII monolayers were performed. Digoxin and prazosin were used as probe substrates for MDR1 and BCRP, respectively.

[0368] The inhibition assay results are summarized in Table 4 below. ONC201 is an inhibitor of MDR1 and BCRP at 200 micromolar. Combining ONC201 with an MDR1 or BCRP substrate may increase the potency of the substrate by increasing the intracellular concentration or altering its biodistribution.

[0369] [Table 4]

[0370] Example 15. Inhibitory Potential of Compound (1) on P450 Enzymes

[0371] We evaluated the potential of ONC201 to induce human cytochrome P450 (CYP) enzymes using seedable human cryopreserved hepatocytes, focusing on the three major inducible drug-metabolizing enzymes, namely, CYP 1A2, 2B6, and 3A4.

[0372] The results of the CYP induction experiments with ONC201 are summarized in Table 5 below. ONC201 did not induce P450 to a degree greater than 20% of the potency of the positive control in this assay. Therefore, ONC201 can be used in combination with other drugs without altering CYP activity.

[0373] [Table 5]

[0374] The inhibitory potential of ONC201 against seven human cytochrome P450 (CYP) enzymes, namely CYP1A2, 2B6, 2C8, 2C9, 2C19, 2D6, and 3A4, was investigated in vitro in pooled human liver microsomes (HLMs) using eight CYP isoform-specific marker substrate reactions: CYP1A2-mediated phenacetin O-deethylation, CYP2B6-mediated bupropion hydroxylation, CYP2C8-mediated amodiaquine N-deethylation, CYP2C9-mediated diclofenac 4'-hydroxylation, CYP2C19-mediated S-mephenytoin 4'-hydroxylation, CYP2D6-mediated bufuralol 1'-hydroxylation, CYP3A4-mediated midazolam 1'-hydroxylation, and testosterone 6β-hydroxylation.

[0375] ONC201 inhibits CYP isoenzymes (CYP 1A2, 2B6, 2C8, 2C9, 2C19, 2D6, and 3A4) with IC values ​​ranging from 34.9 to 428.6 μM. 50 Value (9uM C maxand 40-480-fold above the mean plasma concentration of 0.9 uM at 24 hours), and the inhibition was not significantly time-dependent (see Table 6). These results indicate that ONC201 can be administered with most other drugs without safety concerns regarding drug-drug interactions.

[0376] [Table 6]

[0377] Example 16. Human Clinical Trial of Oral ONC201 in Patients with Refractory Solid Tumors

[0378] ONC201 induces tumor apoptosis at doses that trigger high levels of cell death in human cancer cells, but not in normal cells. The safety profile of ONC201 in rats and dogs in a GLP safety study was consistent with ONC201's selective cytotoxicity in tumors versus normal cells in vitro. Thus, ONC201's in vitro and in vivo profiles demonstrate a broad therapeutic window, highly desirable for a cancer therapeutic. Based on preclinical results demonstrating sustained tumor PD and in accordance with early pilot studies suggesting that more frequent dosing did not appear to substantially enhance in vivo efficacy, a full 21-day schedule was selected for clinical trials.

[0379] ONC201's remarkable efficacy and safety profile, as well as its novel involvement in signaling pathways important to many cancers, led to its clinical introduction in patients with advanced cancer. The primary objectives of this first-in-human, Phase 1 dose-escalation study were to determine the recommended Phase 2 dose (RP2D) of oral ONC201 in patients with advanced cancer and to evaluate the safety and tolerability of the drug. Secondary objectives included evaluation of ONC201's pharmacokinetics, pharmacodynamics, and preliminary antitumor activity.

[0380] Briefly, this phase 1, open-label study treated 10 patients with histologically confirmed advanced solid tumors during dose escalation. An additional 10 patients were enrolled in an ongoing expansion period to provide additional safety information. Patients received oral ONC201 at doses of 125 to 625 mg every 3 weeks using an accelerated titration design.

[0381] RP2D is a C of 1.5 to 7.5 mg / mL (approximately 3.9 to 19.4 mM). max The dose was determined to be 625 mg, which achieved a 9.6-h half-life and 25 h.μg / L AUC. Eight of the 10 patients achieved stable disease, one patient with prostate adenocarcinoma experienced long-term stable disease, and the remainder remained on study for 27 weeks. One additional patient with endometrial carcinoma had a mixed response.

[0382] ONC201 is very well tolerated, has a favorable PK profile including saturable absorption at micromolar plasma concentrations, and shows signs of clinical activity following oral dosing of 625 mg every three weeks.

[0383] Patients and methods

[0384] (ethics)

[0385] This study was conducted at Robert Wood Johnson University Hospital / Rutgers Cancer Institute of New Jersey (CINJ) in accordance with the Declaration of Helsinki and the International Conference on Harmonisation of Pharmaceuticals for Human Use guidelines, and was approved by the relevant regulatory committees and the CINJ Institutional Review Board. Patients provided written informed consent to participate in the study.

[0386] (Patient population)

[0387] Patients aged 18 years or older with advanced solid tumors who had not received or were resistant to standard therapy, had an ECOG performance status of 1 or greater, and had evaluable disease according to RECIST 1.1 criteria were eligible. If patients were receiving radiation therapy, they had to have one measurable lesion outside the irradiated field. Patients had to have completed all prior cytotoxic chemotherapy at least 4 weeks prior to the first dose, alkylating agents at least 6 weeks prior, targeted agents at least 28 days prior, and radiation therapy at least 14 days prior. All adverse events related to prior therapy, except for alopecia and neuropathy, of grade 2 or less, had to have resolved. Patients were required to demonstrate normal bone marrow and organ function as defined by the following parameters: absolute neutrophil count ≥ 1,500 / mcL; platelets ≥ 1,000,000 / mcL; hemoglobin ≥ 9.0 mg / dL without transfusion in the previous 2 weeks; total bilirubin within the normal range (for patients with liver metastases, serum bilirubin ≤ 1.5 x ULN); AST (SGOT) / ALT (SGPT) ≤ 2.5 x upper limit of normal; and for patients with creatinine levels above normal, measured or estimated creatinine clearance ≥ 40 mL / min / 1.73 m 2Exclusion criteria included symptomatic or asymptomatic brain metastases treated with steroids, previous bevacizumab treatment, previous allergic reaction to a compound similar to ONC201, difficult-to-control comorbidities, concomitant retroviral therapy for HIV, history of active cardiac disease / cardiac dysfunction, stroke or seizure within the previous 3 months, GI dysfunction that could alter ONC201 absorption, pregnancy, and treatment with hematopoietic colony-stimulating growth factors within 2 weeks before treatment initiation.

[0388] (Study design and toxicity evaluation)

[0389] The study was designed as an open-label, dose-escalation, phase 1 ONC201 single-agent trial in patients with advanced, refractory tumors who had exhausted or refused standard treatment options for their respective indications. ONC201 capsules (125 mg) were provided by Oncoceutics Inc. (Philadelphia, PA). ONC201 was administered orally once every 21-day cycle using an accelerated dose-escalation design. The oral starting dose was 125 mg (10% of the level at which no adverse events were observed in rats and dogs). The study was conducted with an individualized accelerated dose-escalation design, designed to stop if any patient experienced at least a grade 2 adverse event possibly related to ONC201. In this case, a conventional 3 + 3 dose-escalation design would have been used. Dose escalation would have occurred after the previously administered cohort completed one treatment cycle and met the criteria for progression to the next dose level. Enrollment at each subsequent dose level required all patients enrolled at the previous dose level to complete Cycle 1 dosing and be evaluated 21 days later for safety assessment. Dose levels progressed from 125 mg to 250 mg, 375 mg, 500 mg, and finally 625 mg.

[0390] After the RP2D was determined, an expansion period to 22 patients was initiated, and additional patients were enrolled at the RP2D to increase the robustness of the safety data generated in the trial.

[0391] All toxicities were assessed according to the Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events, version 4. DLTs were defined as drug-related adverse events or abnormal laboratory results that occurred during the first cycle of treatment and met any of the following criteria: grade 3 or higher nonhematologic toxicity; grade 3 nausea, vomiting, or diarrhea persisting for more than 72 hours despite optimal antiemetic or antidiarrheal therapy; grade 3 to 4 AST / ALT combined with a grade 2 elevation in bilirubin; grade 4 neutropenia lasting for 7 days; grade 4 neutropenia and fever >38.5°C; grade 3 neutropenia with >grade 3 infection; any grade of thrombocytopenia when associated with clinically significant bleeding; grade 4 thrombocytopenia; or grade 4 anemia assessed as unrelated to disease, disease progression, intercurrent illness, or concomitant medication; and those judged by the investigator to be "probably," "probably," or "definitely" related to ONC201 administration.

[0392] (Safety Assessment)

[0393] Safety assessments, including complete blood counts, blood chemistry, and toxicity, were performed at baseline, weekly during the first two cycles, and every three weeks thereafter. Electrocardiogram monitoring was performed immediately before ONC201 administration, and then 15 minutes, 1 hour, and 2 hours after drug administration. Adverse events were graded using CTCAE version 4.0. Tumor response was assessed every two cycles using RECIST.

[0394] (Pharmacokinetic analysis)

[0395] Plasma samples for PK were collected at baseline, 30 minutes, 2 hours, 4 hours, 6 hours, 24 hours, 48 ​​hours, and 168 hours after the first ONC201 dose, and before the pre-treatment dose for cycles 2 through 6. PK analysis was performed by LC-MS / MS using a validated GLP method to detect ONC201 in human plasma. PK analysis was performed using PHOENIX® WINNONLIN® version 6.3 (PHARSIGHT®, St. Louis, Missouri).

[0396] (statistical analysis)

[0397] Safety and tumor response data were analyzed using descriptive statistics.

[0398] (pharmacodynamic analysis)

[0399] Blood samples for PD were collected 6 hours, 2, 3, 8, and 15 days after ONC201 treatment in cycle 1, and before drug administration in cycles 2 and 3. Serum levels of cleaved cytokeratin 18 (cCK18) were assessed using the M30 assay, and serum levels of intact cytokeratin 18 (CK18) were assessed using the M65 assay (Perviva AB, Sweden). Assessment of other tumor-specific markers was also performed according to standard of care.

[0400] (In vitro sensitivity of tumor types)

[0401] The in vitro activity of ONC201 was evaluated in 1020 genetically annotated cell lines from the Genomic of Drug Sensitivity in Cancer (http: / / www.cancerrxgene.org) collection. As previously reported, IC was determined by cell viability assay 72 hours after treatment. 50 For each tumor type, estimated IC 50 Values ​​were averaged across multiple cell lines. Tumor types were assigned average IC 50 The ONC201 sensitivity range was determined by dividing the samples into three distinct groups representing tertiles of sensitivity. In Table 11, these groups are referred to as "high," "low," and "intermediate" based on their tertile classification within the ONC201 sensitivity range.

[0402] result

[0403] (Patient characteristics)

[0404] During the dose-escalation period, 10 evaluable patients were enrolled in the study. Patient characteristics are shown in Table 7. After completion of the dose-escalation period, an additional 10 patients were enrolled in the ongoing expansion period (Table 8).

[0405] [Table 7]

[0406] [Table 8]

[0407] (Dose escalation, RP2D and safety determination)

[0408] Dose cohorts are shown in Table 9. 625 mg was the maximum achieved dose and was determined as the RP2D. The only adverse event during the dose escalation period possibly attributable to ONC201 was low-grade fever in one patient. One patient enrolled in the maximum dose cohort was replaced due to rapid disease progression in cycle 1.

[0409] The only adverse event among the 10 enrolled patients during the expansion period that was possibly attributable to ONC201 was vomiting in one patient. Both of these adverse events were Grade 1 and resolved rapidly. Laboratory investigations and physical examinations revealed no drug-related abnormalities. Similarly, cardiovascular evaluations revealed no drug-related effects.

[0410] [Table 9]

[0411] (Pharmacokinetics)

[0412] Patients were analyzed for systemic exposure levels to ONC201 using plasma collected at consecutive time points (Figure 5). PK parameters were determined for all patients and summarized for the highest dose cohort (Table 10). While dose escalation included separate patient cohorts, systemic exposure to ONC201 was measured by AUC and C max Judging from the results, saturation appeared at the 375 mg dose (Figure 6). In the highest dose cohort, mean C max The mean V was 3312 (SD 2133) ng / mL, which occurred a mean of 1.8 hours after administration. Z The mean AUC was 26.3 (SD 10.8) h.μg / mL, and the mean CL / F was 27.19 (SD 10.95) L / h. 1 / 2 was 9.62 (SD 1.76) hours.

[0414] In general, CL / F was observed to vary but was consistent across all dose groups. There was no apparent relationship between drug CL / F and patient gender or age. Of note, a superficial trend was observed with patient weight and BSA. An overall increase in CL / F was observed with increasing weight and BSA. CR Although a slight upward trend was observed between
