[0002] Reference to Sequence Listing The content of the electronic sequence listing (Name: REME_032_02WO_SeqList_ST26.xml; Size: 17,326 bytes; Date of creation: May 22, 2023) is hereby incorporated by reference in its entirety into this specification.
[0003] Field of the Disclosure The present disclosure relates to methods for the treatment of a disease or disorder (e.g., cancer) with an mTOR inhibitor. Specifically, in some embodiments, the present disclosure relates to a method of treating a subject having cancer by administering a dose of an mTOR inhibitor. In some embodiments, the present disclosure includes methods for delaying, preventing, or treating acquired resistance to a RAS inhibitor using a dose of an mTOR inhibitor. In some embodiments, the present disclosure relates to a method of treating or preventing adverse events associated with the administration of an mTOR inhibitor using tacrolimus.
Background Art
[0004] The mammalian target of rapamycin (mTOR), a serine - threonine kinase, is associated with lipid kinases of the phosphoinositide 3 - kinase (PI3K) family. mTOR exists within two complexes, mTORC1 and mTORC2, which are differentially regulated, have significantly different substrate specificities, and are differentially sensitive to rapamycin. mTORC1 integrates signals derived from growth factor receptors with the cell's nutrient status and controls the level of cap - dependent mRNA translation by modulating the activity of key translational components such as eIF4E, a cap - binding protein and an oncogene.
[0005] For the treatment of cancers that depend on the activation of PI3K / mTOR signaling, in addition to first - generation mTOR inhibitors, pan - PI3K inhibitors and isoform - selective PI3K inhibitors are being evaluated. Rapalogs and pan - mTOR active - site inhibitors do not completely inhibit the mTORC1 - mediated phosphorylation of 4EBP1 at clinically achievable exposures and are thus considered "incomplete" pathway inhibitors. This is at least partially consistent with the minimal clinical success of these agents. In addition, pan - mTOR active - site inhibitors exhibit a lack of selectivity and are likely to inhibit lipid kinases. There are important cancer groups that are associated with deregulation of PI3K / mTOR signaling and are currently not addressed by existing inhibitor treatment strategies, leaving a medical need unmet. SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION PROBLEMS TO BE SOLVED BY THE INVENTION
[0006] Currently, the majority of subjects with mutations / rearrangements conferring activation of the mTOR pathway do not have approved targeted treatment options. This potentially represents a population of subjects who could benefit from treatment. Additionally, resistance to currently approved and new targeted therapies presents another potential population of subjects. Treatment options for either population mainly include chemotherapy regimens that have marginal benefit and are often associated with adverse side effects. Accordingly, new treatment options are needed for these subjects.

Mode for Carrying Out the Invention
[0032] The present disclosure relates to methods of treating a disease or disorder (e.g., cancer) with a compound (e.g., RMC-5552). In some embodiments, the present disclosure provides methods for delaying, preventing, or treating acquired resistance to a RAS inhibitor (e.g., a KRAS G12C inhibitor) by administering a compound (e.g., RMC-5552).
[0033] The methods include administering the compound (e.g., RMC-5552) at a specific dosage. For example, in some embodiments, the compound (e.g., RMC-5552) is administered at a dosage of about 3 mg per week to about 25 mg per week.
[0034] The dosages of the compounds described herein (i.e., RMC-5552) have surprisingly been found to be effective in treating the disease or disorder of the subject while maintaining tolerability for the subject. A common point of inefficacy for drug therapies is that the subject cannot tolerate the side effects of the drug while continuing to use the drug in an amount effective for treating the disease. Low drug dosages may reduce or eliminate side effects but can result in inefficacy in treating the disease. For example, side effects associated with various cancer treatments include stomatitis / mucositis, anorexia and fatigue, anemia, dehydration, hyponatremia, nausea, and vomiting. The dosages of the compounds of the present disclosure (i.e., RMC-5552) have surprisingly been found not to cause such side effects at severities that require a reduction below the therapeutically effective amount of drug use.
[0035] As used above and throughout the present disclosure, unless indicated otherwise, the following terms are to be understood to have the following meanings. When terms are not indicated, conventional terms known to those skilled in the art are followed.
[0036] The terms "comprising," "containing," and "including" as used herein are used in their open, non-limiting sense.
[0037] In the present disclosure, the articles "a" and "an" are used to refer to one or more than one grammatical object of the article (i.e., at least one grammatical object). By way of example, "an element" means one element or more than one element.
[0038] As used herein, the term "and / or" refers to one or both of "and" or "or".
[0039] To provide a more concise description, some of the quantitative expressions given herein do not have the term "about" as a qualifier. Whether or not the term "about" is explicitly used, any quantity given herein is intended to refer to the given measured value, but also to refer to an approximation to the given such value that is reasonably inferred based on the skill in the art and includes equivalent and approximate values resulting from the experimental and / or measurement conditions for the given such value. When the yield is given as a percentage, such yield always refers to the mass of the entity for which the yield is given with respect to the maximum amount of the same entity obtained under specific stoichiometric conditions. Unless otherwise indicated, the concentration given as a percentage refers to a mass ratio.
[0040] As used in the present disclosure, the term "disorder" is used to mean and is used interchangeably with the terms disease, condition, or illness, unless otherwise indicated.
[0041] The term "inhibitor" means a compound that prevents a biomolecule (e.g., a protein, nucleic acid) from completing or initiating a reaction. An inhibitor may inhibit a reaction by competitive means, non-competitive means, or uncompetitive means. Exemplary inhibitors include, but are not limited to, nucleic acids, DNA, RNA, shRNA, siRNA, proteins, protein mimetics, peptides, peptide mimetics, antibodies, small molecules, chemicals, enzymes, receptors, or analogs that mimic the binding sites of other proteins, such as those involved in signal transduction, therapeutic agents, pharmaceutical compositions, drugs, and combinations thereof. In some embodiments, the inhibitor can be a nucleic acid molecule, including but not limited to siRNA, that reduces the amount of a functional protein in a cell. Thus, a compound that is said to be "capable of inhibiting" a particular protein, e.g., mTOR or RAS, includes any such inhibitor.
[0042] As used herein, the term "therapeutic agent" refers to any substance, e.g., a compound or composition, that is capable of treating a disease or disorder. In some embodiments, therapeutic agents useful in the context of the present disclosure include, without limitation, mTOR inhibitors, such as RAS inhibitors, e.g., KRAS G12C inhibitors, and certain cancer chemotherapeutic agents.
[0043] As used herein with respect to a subject, the term "treating" or "treatment of" refers to ameliorating at least one symptom, pathology, or marker of a disease or disorder of the subject, either directly or by enhancing the effect of another treatment. Treatment includes curing, ameliorating, or at least partially ameliorating the disorder, and may include even a minimal change or improvement in one or more measurable markers of the disease or condition being treated. "Treating" or "treatment of" does not necessarily indicate complete eradication or cure of the disease or condition, or of its associated symptoms. The subject to be treated is any subject in need thereof. Those of skill in the art will be aware of exemplary markers of clinical improvement.
[0044] mTOR inhibitor As used herein, the term "mTOR inhibitor" refers to a compound that inhibits the activity of mTOR (e.g., kinase activity). Examples of mTOR inhibitors include, but are not limited to, RMC-5552, everolimus, sirolimus, nab-sirolimus, ΓΝΚ128, PP242, PP121, MLN0128, AZD8055, AZD2014, NVP-BEZ235, BGT226, SF1126, torin 1, torin 2, WYE687, salts of WYE687 (e.g., hydrochloride), PF04691502, PI-103, CC-223, OSI-027, XL388, KU-0063794, GDC-0349, and PKI-587. In some embodiments, the mTOR inhibitor is a more selective inhibitor of mTORC1 as compared to mTORC2. In some embodiments, the mTOR inhibitor is a more selective inhibitor of mTORC2 as compared to mTORC1. In multiple embodiments, the mTOR inhibitor is an active site mTOR inhibitor. As used herein, an "active site mTOR inhibitor" refers to a compound that inhibits the activity of mTOR (e.g., kinase activity) and binds to the active site of mTOR (e.g., an ATP binding site that overlaps with the ATP binding site of mTOR and blocks access of ATP to the ATP binding site of mTOR).
[0045] In some embodiments of the present specification, the compounds (e.g., RMC-5552) employed in the embodiments of the present disclosure are sometimes referred to as "mTOR dual-site inhibitors" or "dual-site inhibitors of mTOR". In the present disclosure, the terms "mTOR dual-site inhibitor" and "dual-site inhibitor of mTOR" are used interchangeably to refer to two pharmacophores in a single compound. One pharmacophore binds to the well-known FRB (FKBP12-rapamycin binding) site on mTORC1, and the other pharmacophore binds to the mTOR kinase active site. As a result of these two binding interactions, such compounds have two biologically useful functions: (1) selectivity for mTORC1 over mTORC2, characteristic of the natural compound rapamycin; and (2) profound inhibition of mTORC1, characteristic of known active site inhibitors. These properties enable the selective inhibition of the phosphorylation of mTORC1 substrates, including 4EBP1. Non-limiting examples of mTOR dual-site inhibitors are found in WO2019212991, WO2019212990, and WO2018204416, which are incorporated herein by reference in their entirety. In some embodiments, the mTOR dual-site inhibitor has a molecular weight between 1600 and 2100 Da, including the endpoints, and exhibits selective (greater than 10-fold) inhibition of mTORC1 over mTORC2. In some embodiments, the two pharmacophores are connected by a linker. The linker can be any suitable linker, such as a PEG linker, or a linker described in Hoang Thi, Thai Thanh et al., "The Importance of Poly(ethylene glycol) Alternatives for Overcoming PEG Immunogenicity in Drug Delivery and Bioconjugation", Polymers, Vol. 12, No. 2, p. 298, February 2, 2020.

See, for example, WO2019212990, which is incorporated herein by reference in its entirety.
[0052] In some embodiments, the two pharmacophores described in formula Ic are connected by a linker such as one of the linkers described in Hoang Thi, Thai Thanh et al., "The Importance of Poly(ethylene glycol) Alternatives for Overcoming PEG Immunogenicity in Drug Delivery and Bioconjugation", Polymers, Vol. 12, No. 2, p. 298, February 2, 2020.
[0053] In another embodiment of the present disclosure, the mTOR inhibitor (e.g., an mTOR dual stereoisomer inhibitor, e.g., RMC-5552) is an enantiomer. In some embodiments, the compound is the (S)-enantiomer. In other embodiments, the compound is the (R)-enantiomer. In still other embodiments, the compound is the (+) enantiomer or the (-) enantiomer.
[0054] It should be understood that all isomers, including mixtures thereof, are included within the present disclosure. When a compound contains a double bond, the substituents may be in the E configuration or the Z configuration. When a compound contains a disubstituted cycloalkyl, the cycloalkyl substituents may have the cis configuration or the trans configuration. All tautomers are also intended to be included.
[0055] mTOR inhibitors (e.g., mTOR dual stereoisomer inhibitors, e.g., RMC-5552) may contain asymmetric or chiral centers and thus may exist as different stereoisomers. The methods of the present disclosure are intended to take into account these mixtures, including racemic mixtures, as well as all stereoisomers of mTOR inhibitors (e.g., mTOR dual stereoisomer inhibitors, e.g., RMC-5552). In addition, the present disclosure encompasses methods that include all geometric and positional isomers. For example, when an mTOR inhibitor (e.g., mTOR dual stereoisomer inhibitor, e.g., RMC-5552) incorporates a double bond or fused ring, both the cis and trans forms, as well as mixtures, are encompassed within the scope of the present disclosure. Each compound disclosed herein includes all enantiomers that conform to the general structure of the compound. The compound may be in racemic form, enantiomerically pure form, or any other form from a stereochemical perspective. The assay results may reflect data collected for the compound in racemic form, enantiomerically pure form, or any other form from a stereochemical perspective.
[0056] As used herein, the term "tautomer" may refer to a set of compounds that have the same number and types of atoms, but different bonding properties and are in equilibrium with each other. A "tautomer" is a single member of this set of compounds. Typically, a single tautomer is depicted, but it can be understood that this single structure can represent all possible tautomers that may exist. Examples can include enol-ketone tautomerism. When a ketone is depicted, it can be understood that both the enol form and the ketone form are part of the present disclosure. The mTOR inhibitors of the present disclosure (e.g., mTOR dual stereoisomer inhibitors, e.g., RMC-5552) can exist within their tautomers (e.g., as amides or imino ethers). In this specification, all such tautomers are contemplated as part of the methods of the present disclosure.
[0057] In addition to the tautomers that can exist in all amide groups, carbonyl groups, and oxime groups within the mTOR inhibitors of the present disclosure, the compounds within this family readily interconvert via ring-opening molecular species between two major isomers known as pyran isomers and oxepane isomers (shown below). This interconversion is promoted by magnesium ions, weakly acidic conditions, or alkylamine salts as described in the following references: i) Hughes, P.F., Musser, J., Conklin, M., Russo, R., 1992, Tetrahedron Lett., 33(33):4739 - 32; ii) Zhu, T., 2007, U.S. Patent No. 7,241,771, Wyeth; iii) Hughes, P.F., 1994, U.S. Patent No. 5,344,833, American Home Products Corp. The following scheme shows the interconversion between the pyran isomer and the oxepane isomer in a compound containing a compound according to
Chemical formula
[0058] This interconversion occurs under mild conditions and the thermodynamic equilibrium position can vary among different members of the compounds of formula Ic, so any isomers are contemplated for the compounds of formula Ic. For simplicity of description, all intermediates and the pyran isomers of the compounds of formula Ic are shown, but it is understood that mTOR inhibitors (e.g., mTOR dual stereoisomer inhibitors, e.g., RMC-5552) can exist in their oxepane forms. All such oxepane forms are contemplated as part of the methods of the present disclosure herein.
[0059] The term "solvate" refers to a complex formed by a solute and a solvent with a variable stoichiometric ratio. Such solvents for the purposes of the present disclosure can be capable of not interfering with the biological activity of the solute. Examples of suitable solvents include, but are not limited to, water, methanol, ethanol, and acetic acid. Solvates in which water is the solvent molecule are typically referred to as hydrates. Hydrates include compositions containing a stoichiometric amount of water as well as compositions containing a variable amount of water.
[0060] As used herein, the term "salt" refers to acidic salts formed by inorganic and / or organic acids, as well as basic salts formed by inorganic and / or organic bases. In addition, when a compound contains both a basic moiety such as, but not limited to, pyridine or imidazole, and an acidic moiety such as, but not limited to, a carboxylic acid, zwitterions ("inner salts") may be formed and are included within the term "salt" as used herein.

[0087] In some embodiments, the dosage is from about 4 mg per week to about 25 mg per week, from about 4 mg per week to about 20 mg per week, from about 4 mg per week to about 16 mg per week, from about 4 mg per week to about 14 mg per week, from about 4 mg per week to about 12 mg per week, from about 4 mg per week to about 10 mg per week, from about 4 mg per week to about 9 mg per week, from about 4 mg per week to about 8 mg per week, from about 4 mg per week to about 7 mg per week, from about 4 mg per week to about 6 mg per week, from about 5 mg per week to about 25 mg per week, from about 5 mg per week to about 20 mg per week, from about 5 mg per week to about 16 mg per week, from about 5 mg per week to about 14 mg per week, from about 5 mg per week to about 12 mg per week, from about 5 mg per week to about 10 mg per week, from about 5 mg per week to about 9 mg per week, from about 5 mg per week to about 8 mg per week, from about 5 mg per week to about 7 mg per week, from about 5 mg per week to about 6 mg per week, from about 6 mg per week to about 25 mg per week, from about 6 mg per week to about 20 mg per week, from about 6 mg per week to about 16 mg per week, from about 6 mg per week to about 14 mg per week, from about 6 mg per week to about 12 mg per week, from about 6 mg per week to about 10 mg per week, from about 6 mg per week to about 9 mg per week, from about 6 mg per week to about 8 mg per week, from about 6 mg per week to about 7 mg per week, from about 7 mg per week to about 25 mg per week, from about 7 mg per week to about 20 mg per week, from about 7 mg per week to about 16 mg per week, from about 7 mg per week to about 14 mg per week, from about 7 mg per week to about 12 mg per week, from about 6 mg per week to about 10 mg per week, from about 7 mg per week to about 9 mg per week, from about 7 mg per week to about 8 mg per week, from about 8 mg per week to about 25 mg per week, from about 8 mg per week to about 20 mg per week, from about 8 mg per week to about 16 mg per week, from about 8 mg per week to about 14 mg per week, from about 8 mg per week to about 12 mg per week, from about 8 mg per week to about 10 mg per week,About 9 mg per week to about 25 mg per week, about 9 mg per week to about 20 mg per week, about 9 mg per week to about 16 mg per week, about 9 mg per week to about 14 mg per week, about 9 mg per week to about 12 mg per week, about 9 mg per week to about 10 mg per week, about 10 mg per week to about 25 mg per week, about 10 mg per week to about 20 mg per week, about 10 mg per week to about 16 mg per week, about 10 mg per week to about 14 mg per week, about 10 mg per week to about 12 mg per week, about 11 mg per week to about 25 mg per week, about 11 mg per week to about 20 mg per week, about 11 mg per week to about 16 mg per week, about 11 mg per week to about 14 mg per week, or about 11 mg per week to about 12 mg per week.
[0088] In some embodiments, the dosage is about 4 mg per week, about 4.5 mg per week, about 5 mg per week, about 5.5 mg per week, about 6 mg per week, about 6.5 mg per week, about 7 mg per week, about 7.5 mg per week, about 8 mg per week, about 8.5 mg per week, about 9 mg per week, about 9.5 mg per week, about 10 mg per week, about 10.5 mg per week, about 11 mg per week, about 11.5 mg per week, about 12 mg per week, about 12.5 mg per week, about 13 mg per week, about 13.5 mg per week, about 14 mg per week, about 14.5 mg per week, about 15 mg per week, about 16 mg per week, about 18 mg per week, about 20 mg per week, about 22 mg per week, or about 25 mg per week.
[0089] Surprisingly, doses of the mTOR dual inhibitor (i.e., RMC-5552) from 1.6 mg per week to 6 mg per week exhibit a dose-proportional increase in exposure, whereas doses above 6 mg per week were observed to exhibit an increase that exceeds dose-proportional increase. In dosing regimens, dose-proportional increase is generally preferred as it generally increases control over target exposure and is often associated with the desired drug clearance. These concerns are often addressed in light of the need for higher doses to provide efficacy in treating the disease. Thus, in some embodiments, the dose is 6 mg per week, which is the inflection point of the dose-proportional curve (e.g., about 5 mg per week to about 9 mg per week, about 6 mg per week to about 9 mg per week, about 6 mg per week to about 8 mg per week, about 5 mg per week, about 5.5 mg per week, about 6 mg per week, about 6.5 mg per week, about 7 mg per week, about 7.5 mg per week, about 8 mg per week, about 8.5 mg per week, or about 9 mg per week), or a dose in the vicinity thereof.
[0090] Surprisingly, it was also observed that above a dose of about 6 mg per week (e.g., between 6 mg per week and 12 mg per week), there is a steep dose-response relationship. Thus, in some embodiments, doses above about 6 mg per week are used. Doses in these ranges may be intolerable due to side effects (e.g., mucositis). As described herein, tacrolimus (e.g., tacrolimus oral rinse; see the extensive discussion of tacrolimus below) can, surprisingly, mitigate side effects, thereby enabling higher doses. Thus, in some embodiments, doses above about 6 mg per week are used in combination with tacrolimus.
[0091] In some embodiments, a high dosage (e.g., a dosage exceeding about 6 mg per week) is initially used before reducing the dosage. For example, in some embodiments, a dosage exceeding about 6 mg per week (i.e., a dosage exceeding the dose-proportional increase threshold) is administered over one week or several weeks, followed by a dosage less than about 6 mg per week (i.e., a dosage near or below the dose-proportional increase threshold). In some embodiments, a drug holiday (e.g., a drug holiday lasting 1, 2, 3, 4, or 5 weeks) is taken between the high dosage and the low dosage. In some embodiments, the dosage in the first 1, 2, 3, 4, or 5 weeks is higher than the dosage in subsequent weeks. In some embodiments, the dosage in the first week is higher than the dosage in subsequent weeks.
[0092] In some embodiments, the dosage in the first 1, 2, 3, 4, or 5 weeks is about 6 mg per week to about 25 mg per week, about 6 mg per week to about 20 mg per week, about 6 mg per week to about 16 mg per week, about 6 mg per week to about 14 mg per week, about 6 mg per week to about 12 mg per week, about 6 mg per week to about 10 mg per week, about 8 mg per week to about 25 mg per week, about 8 mg per week to about 20 mg per week, about 8 mg per week to about 16 mg per week, about 8 mg per week to about 14 mg per week, about 8 mg per week to about 12 mg per week, about 8 mg per week to about 10 mg per week, about 10 mg per week to about 25 mg per week, about 10 mg per week to about 20 mg per week, about 10 mg per week to about 16 mg per week, about 10 mg per week to about 14 mg per week, or about 10 mg per week to about 12 mg per week.

[0100] Administration of the disclosed compounds or compositions can be achieved via any mode of administration for a therapeutic agent. These modes can include systemic or topical administration such as oral administration, nasal administration, parenteral administration, transdermal administration, subcutaneous administration, intravaginal administration, intraoral administration, rectal administration, topical administration, intrathecal administration, or intracranial administration.
[0101] In some embodiments, administration can include oral administration, administration as a suppository, topical contact, intravenous administration, parenteral administration, intraperitoneal administration, intramuscular administration, intralesional administration, intrathecal administration, intracranial administration, intranasal administration, or subcutaneous administration, or implantation of a sustained release device, such as a small osmotic pump, into a subject. Administration can be by any route, including parenteral and transmucosal administration (e.g., buccal, sublingual, intranasal, gingival, intranasal, vaginal, rectal, or transdermal administration). Parental administration includes, for example, intravenous, intramuscular, intraarterial, intradermal, subcutaneous, intraperitoneal, intraventricular, and intracranial administrations. Other delivery methods include, but are not limited to, the use of liposomal formulations, intravenous infusions, transdermal patches, and the like. The compositions of the present disclosure may be delivered transdermally, may be delivered by a topical route, and may be delivered as an applicator stick, solution, suspension, emulsion, gel, cream, ointment, paste, jelly, paint, powder, and aerosol formulations. Oral formulations include tablets, pills, powders, dragees, capsules, solutions, lozenges, sachets, gels, syrups, slurries, suspensions, etc., suitable for ingestion by a patient. Solid formulations include powders, tablets, pills, capsules, sachets, suppositories, and dispersible granules. Liquid formulations include solutions, suspensions, and emulsions, such as aqueous solutions or aqueous / propylene glycol solutions. The compositions of the present disclosure may additionally include components that provide sustained release and / or comfort. Such components include high molecular weight, anionic, mucoadhesive polymers, gelling polysaccharides, and micronized drug carrier matrices. These components are discussed in more detail in U.S. Pat. Nos. 4,911,920; 5,403,841; 5,212,162; and 4,861,760. The entire contents of these patents are hereby incorporated by reference in their entirety for all purposes. The compositions of the present disclosure may also be delivered as microspheres for sustained release in the body.For example, the microspheres may be administered via intradermal injection of drug-containing microspheres that slowly release subcutaneously (see Rao, J. Biomater Set Polym. Ed., 7: 623-645, 1995); they may be administered as biodegradable / injectable gel formulations (see, for example, Gao, Pharm. Res., 12: 857-863, 1995); they may be administered as oral microspheres (see, for example, Eyles, J. Pharm. Pharmacol., 49: 669-674, 1997). In another embodiment, the formulations of the compositions of the present disclosure are delivered by the use of liposomes that fuse with cell membranes or are endocytosed, i.e., by employing receptor ligands conjugated to liposomes that bind to cell surface membrane protein receptors resulting in endocytosis. In particular, the delivery of the mTOR inhibitor to target cells in vivo can be focused by using liposomes whose surface bears receptor ligands that are specific for the target cells or are otherwise preferentially directed to specific organs (see, for example, Al-Muhammed, J. Microencapsul., 13: 293-306, 1996; Chonn, Curr. Opin. Biotechnol., 6: 698-708, 1995; Ostro, Am. J. Hosp. Pharm., 46: 1576-1587, 1989). In some embodiments, the mTOR inhibitor (e.g., an mTOR dual stereoisomer inhibitor, e.g., RMC-5552) is delivered by nanoparticles.
[0102] Depending on the intended mode of administration, the mTOR inhibitor (e.g., mTOR dual stereoisomer inhibitor, e.g., RMC-5552) may be in solid dosage forms, such as, for example, injections, tablets, suppositories, pills, delayed release capsules, elixirs, tinctures, emulsions, syrups, powders, liquids, suspensions and other semi-solid or liquid dosage forms, and in some cases, unit dosage forms, in accordance with conventional medical practice. Similarly, the mTOR inhibitor (e.g., mTOR dual stereoisomer inhibitor, e.g., RMC-5552) is administered in intravenous (both bolus and infusion) forms, intraperitoneal forms, intrathecal forms, subcutaneous forms, and intramuscular forms, and in all forms using forms well known to those skilled in the pharmaceutical art.
[0103] Exemplary pharmaceutical compositions include an mTOR inhibitor (e.g., an mTOR dual stereoisomer inhibitor, e.g., RMC-5552), and a) a diluent, such as purified water, hydrogenated vegetable oil or partially hydrogenated vegetable oil or mixtures thereof, corn oil, olive oil, sunflower oil, safflower oil, fish oil such as EPA or DHA, etc., triglyceride oils, or esters or triglycerides thereof, or mixtures thereof, omega-3 fatty acids or derivatives thereof, lactose, dextrose, sucrose, mannitol, sorbitol, cellulose, sodium, saccharin, glucose, and / or glycine; b) a lubricant, such as silica, talc, stearic acid, its magnesium or calcium salts, sodium oleate, sodium stearate, magnesium stearate, sodium benzoate, sodium acetate, sodium chloride, and / or polyethylene glycol; for tablets, also, if desired, c) a binder, such as magnesium aluminum silicate, starch paste, gelatin, tragacanth, methylcellulose, sodium carboxymethylcellulose, magnesium carbonate, natural sugars such as glucose or beta-lactose, corn sweeteners, acacia, tragacanth, or natural / synthetic gums such as sodium alginate, wax and / or polyvinylpyrrolidone; d) a disintegrant, such as starch, agar, methylcellulose, bentonite, xanthan gum, alginic acid or its sodium salt, or a foaming mixture; e) an absorbent, a coloring agent, a flavoring agent, and a sweetening agent; f) an emulsifier or dispersant, such as Tween 80, Labrasol, HPMC, DOSS, Caproyl 909, Labrafac, Labrafil, Peceol, Transcutol, Capmul MCM, Capmul PG-12, Captex 355, Gelucire, vitamin E TGPS, or other acceptable emulsifiers; and / or g) a pharmaceutically acceptable carrier, such as cyclodextrin, hydroxypropyl cyclodextrin, PEG400, PEG200, etc., agents that enhance the absorption of the compound, in the form of tablets and gelatin capsules.
[0104] As used herein, the term "carrier" encompasses carriers, excipients, and diluents, and refers to a liquid or solid filler, diluent, excipient, solvent, or encapsulating material, composition, or medium that is involved in the retention or transport of a pharmaceutical agent from one organ or body part of a subject to another organ or body part. The excipient shall be selected based on the suitability of the desired dosage form and the release profile characteristics. Exemplary carrier materials include, for example, binders, suspending agents, disintegrating agents, filling agents, surfactants, solubilizing agents, stabilizing agents, lubricants, humectants, diluents, spray-dried dispersants, and the like.
[0105] The term "pharmaceutically compatible carrier material" may include, for example, acacia, gelatin, colloidal silicon dioxide, calcium glycerophosphate, calcium lactate, maltodextrin, glycerin, magnesium silicate, sodium caseinate, soy lecithin, sodium chloride, tricalcium phosphate, dipotassium phosphate, sodium stearoyl lactylate, carrageenan, monoglyceride, diglyceride, alpha starch, and the like. See, for example, Hoover, John E., "Remington’s Pharmaceutical Sciences", Mack Publishing Co., Easton, Pa., 1975.
[0106] Liquid compositions, particularly injectable compositions, are prepared, for example, by dissolution, dispersion, and the like. For example, an mTOR inhibitor (e.g., an mTOR dual stereoisomer inhibitor, e.g., RMC-5552) is dissolved or mixed with a pharmaceutically acceptable solvent such as water, physiological saline, aqueous dextrose, glycerol, ethanol, etc., thereby forming an injectable isotonic solution or an injectable isotonic suspension. Proteins such as albumin, chylomicron particles, or serum proteins are used to solubilize the mTOR inhibitor (e.g., an mTOR dual stereoisomer inhibitor, e.g., RMC-5552).
[0107] mTOR inhibitors (e.g., mTOR dual stereoscopic inhibitors, e.g., RMC-5552) can also be manufactured as suppositories prepared from fatty acid emulsion agents or suspension agents using polyalkylene glycols such as propylene glycol as carriers.
[0108] mTOR inhibitors (e.g., mTOR dual stereoscopic inhibitors, e.g., RMC-5552) can also be administered in the form of liposome delivery systems such as small unilamellar vesicles, large unilamellar vesicles, and multilamellar vesicles. Liposomes are formed from various phospholipids containing cholesterol, stearylamine, or phosphatidylcholine. In some embodiments, for example, as described in U.S. Patent No. 5,262,564, the contents of which are incorporated herein by reference, the thin film of the lipid component hydrates with an aqueous solution of the drug to form a lipid layer encapsulating the drug.
[0109] mTOR inhibitors (e.g., mTOR dual stereoscopic inhibitors, e.g., RMC-5552) can also be delivered by the use of monoclonal antibodies as individual carriers to which the disclosed compounds couple. The disclosed compounds can also couple with soluble polymers as targetable drug carriers. Such polymers can include polyvinylpyrrolidone, pyran copolymers, polyhydroxypropylmethacrylamide-phenol, polyhydroxyethylasparagineamide-phenol, or polyethylene oxide polylysine substituted with palmitoyl residues. Further, the disclosed compounds couple to biodegradable polymers useful in achieving controlled release of the drug, such as classes of poly(lactic acid), poly(epsilon-caprolactone), poly(hydroxybutyric acid), polyorthoesters, polyacetals, polydihydropyran, polycyanoacrylates, and crosslinked block copolymers or amphiphilic block copolymers of hydrogels. In one embodiment, the disclosed compounds do not covalently bind to polymers, such as polycarboxylic acid polymers, or polyacrylates.
[0110] Parenteral administration is generally used for subcutaneous injection and subcutaneous infusion, intramuscular injection and intramuscular infusion, or intravenous injection and intravenous infusion. Injectables are manufactured in the conventional form of a solution or suspension, or a solid form suitable for dissolution in a liquid prior to injection.

[0117] In some embodiments, the dosage is administered over multiple weekly administrations (e.g., multiple IV infusions over a period of time). The total amount of mTOR inhibitor (e.g., mTOR dual inhibitor, e.g., RMC-5552) administered over multiple weekly administrations is the dosage. In some embodiments, the dosage is administered twice weekly, three times weekly, or four times weekly. For example, in some embodiments, a dosage of from about 3 mg per week to about 25 mg per week is administered by IV infusion twice weekly or three times weekly. In some embodiments, a dosage of about 6 mg per week or about 8 mg per week is administered by IV infusion twice weekly or three times weekly.

In some embodiments, the dosage is administered by IV infusion, twice weekly or three times weekly, for about 0.5 hours to about 1 hour each time.
[0118] As used herein, the term "subject" encompasses mammals and non-mammals. Examples of mammals include any member of the class Mammalia: humans, chimpanzees, and other non-human primates such as other apes and monkey species; farm animals such as cows, horses, sheep, goats, pigs; companion animals such as rabbits, dogs, and cats; laboratory animals such as rodents including rats, mice, and guinea pigs, etc., but are not limited thereto. Examples of non-mammals include, but are not limited to, birds, fish, etc. In some embodiments, the subject is a human.
[0119] A "patient" is a mammal, e.g., a human, mouse, rat, guinea pig, dog, cat, horse, cow, pig, or non-human primate such as a monkey, chimpanzee, baboon, or macaque. "Patient" includes both humans and animals.
[0120] Adverse event Many of the challenges associated with cancer drug treatment are the administration of sufficient amounts of drug to a subject without inducing intolerable side effects. Surprisingly, the steps of administering and / or applying an oral rinse (e.g., a tacrolimus oral rinse) and / or ice to a subject, in combination with an mTOR inhibitor (e.g., an mTOR dual stereoisomer inhibitor (e.g., RMC-5552), and an allosteric mTOR inhibitor (e.g., everolimus, sirolimus, and nab-sirolimus)), have been found to result in the ability to administer high doses and / or to result in a reduction in side effects.
[0121] In some embodiments, the methods of the disclosure treat and / or prevent one or more side effects associated with the administration of an mTOR inhibitor (e.g., RMC-5552, everolimus, sirolimus, and nab-sirolimus). Such side effects include, but are not limited to, anemia, nausea, mucositis (e.g., stomatitis), vomiting, diarrhea, fatigue, anorexia, hyponatremia, hyperglycemia, headache, dyspnea, and rash.
[0122] For example, using the solutions (e.g., oral rinses) and / or ice chips described below, the dosage of an mTOR inhibitor (e.g., RMC-5552, everolimus, sirolimus, and nab-sirolimus) is administered without inducing intolerable stomatitis and / or mucositis.
[0123] As used herein, mucositis generally refers to the inflammation and / or ulceration of the inner lining of the digestive tract, which is usually painful. Mucositis is often seen as an adverse effect of chemotherapy and radiotherapy treatments for cancer. Mucositis can occur anywhere along the digestive tract, but oral mucositis is particularly common and refers to the inflammation and ulceration that occur in the oral cavity. Given the prevalence of oral mucositis, in some cases, the term "mucositis" is used to refer to "oral mucositis". Oral mucositis is also known as stomatitis.
[0124] In some embodiments, the method further comprises administering and / or applying a solution (e.g., an oral rinse) and / or ice to the subject and / or the subject's oral cavity.

[0169] MCL-1 inhibitors include, but are not limited to, AMG-176, MIK665, and S63845. Myeloid cell leukemia-1 (MCL-1) protein is one of the key anti-apoptotic members of the B-cell lymphoma-2 (BCL-2) protein family. Overexpression of MCL-1 is closely associated with tumor progression, as well as resistance to conventional chemotherapy and targeted therapeutic agents, including BCL-2 inhibitors such as ABT-263.
[0170] In some embodiments, the additional therapeutic agent is an SHP2 inhibitor. SHP2 is a non-receptor protein tyrosine phosphatase encoded by the PTPN11 gene that contributes to multiple cellular functions, including proliferation, differentiation, maintenance of the cell cycle, and migration. SHP2 has two N-terminal Src homology 2 (SH2) domains (N-SH2 and C-SH2), a catalytic domain (PTP), and a C-terminal tail. The two SH2 domains control the intracellular localization and functional regulation of SHP2. The molecule exists in an inactive, auto-inhibited conformation stabilized by a binding network involving residues from both the N-SH2 domain and the PTP domain. For example, stimulation by a cytokine or growth factor that activates via a receptor tyrosine kinase (RTK) results in exposure of the catalytic site, which results in enzymatic activation of SHP2.
[0171] SHP2 is involved in signal transduction via the RAS-mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK), JAK-STAT, or phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase-AKT pathways. Mutations within the PTPN11 gene, and subsequently within SHP2, have been identified in several human developmental disorders such as Noonan syndrome and Leopard syndrome, as well as in human cancers such as juvenile myelomonocytic leukemia, neuroblastoma, melanoma, acute myeloid leukemia, and cancers of the breast, lung, and colon. Some of these mutations destabilize the autoinhibitory conformation of SHP2 and promote the autoactivation of SHP2 or the enhancement of growth factor-driven activation. Thus, SHP2 represents an attractive target for the development of novel therapeutics for the treatment of a variety of diseases, including cancer. SHP2 inhibitors (e.g., RMC-4550 or SHP099), in combination with RAS pathway inhibitors (e.g., MEK inhibitors), have been shown to inhibit the growth of multiple cancer (e.g., pancreatic cancer, lung cancer, ovarian cancer, and breast cancer) cell lines in vitro.

In some embodiments, the SHP2 inhibitor is a reversible inhibitor. In some embodiments, the SHP2 inhibitor is an irreversible inhibitor. In some embodiments, the SHP2 inhibitor is SHP099. In some embodiments, the SHP2 inhibitor is TNO155. In some embodiments, the SHP2 inhibitor is RMC-4550. In some embodiments, the SHP2 inhibitor has a structure as follows:
Chemical formula
[0174] In some embodiments, the SHP2 inhibitor is JAB-3068, JAB-3312, RLY-1971, ERAS-601, or BBP-398.
[0175] In some embodiments, the additional therapeutic agent is selected from the group consisting of a HER2 inhibitor, an SHP2 inhibitor, a CDK4 / 6 inhibitor, an SOS1 inhibitor, and a PD-L1 inhibitor. See, for example, Hallin et al., Cancer Discovery, DOI:10.1158 / 2159-8290 (October 28, 2019); and Canon et al., Nature, 575:217 (2019).
[0176] Proteasome inhibitors include, but are not limited to, carfilzomib (Kyprolis®), bortezomib (Velcade®), and oprozomib.
[0177] Immunotherapies include, but are not limited to, monoclonal antibodies, immunomodulatory imides (IMiDs), GITR agonists, genetically engineered T cells (e.g., CAR-T cells), bispecific antibodies (e.g., BiTE), and anti-PD-1 agents, anti-PDL-1 agents, anti-CTLA4 agents, anti-LAG1 agents, and anti-OX40 agents.
[0178] An immunomodulatory imide (IMiD) is a class of immunomodulatory drugs (drugs that regulate the immune response) that contain an imide group. The IMiD class includes thalidomide and its analogs (lenalidomide, pomalidomide, and apremilast).
[0179] Exemplary anti-PD-1 antibodies and methods for their use are described by Goldberg et al., Blood, 2007, 110(1):186-192; Thompson et al., Clin. Cancer Res. 2007, 13(6):1757-1761; and WO06 / 121168A1), and elsewhere in this specification.
[0180] GITR agonists include GITR fusion proteins such as GITR fusion proteins and anti-GITR antibodies (e.g., bivalent anti-GITR antibodies) described in U.S. Patent No. 6,111,090, U.S. Patent No. 8,586,023, WO2010 / 003118, and WO2011 / 090754; or, for example, anti-GITR antibodies described in U.S. Patent No. 7,025,962, EP1947183, U.S. Patent No. 7,812,135, U.S. Patent No. 8,388,967, U.S. Patent No. 8,591,886, U.S. Patent No. 7,618,632, EP1866339, and WO2011 / 028683, WO2013 / 039954, WO05 / 007190, WO07 / 133822, WO05 / 055808, WO99 / 40196, WO01 / 03720, WO99 / 20758, WO06 / 083289, WO05 / 115451, and WO2011 / 051726, but are not limited thereto.
[0181] Another example of a therapeutic agent used in a combination mTOR inhibitor (e.g., an mTOR dual inhibitor, e.g., RMC-5552) is an anti-angiogenic agent. Anti-angiogenic agents include, but are not limited to, chemically synthesized compositions, antibodies, antigen-binding regions, radionuclides, as well as combinations and conjugates thereof, manufactured in vitro. Anti-angiogenic agents can be agonists, antagonists, allosteric modulators, toxins, and more generally act to inhibit or stimulate their targets (e.g., activate or inhibit receptors or enzymes), thereby promoting cell death or arresting cell growth in some cases. In some embodiments, one or more additional therapeutic agents include anti-angiogenic agents.
[0182] The anti-angiogenic agent can be an MMP-2 (matrix metalloproteinase 2) inhibitor, an MMP-9 (matrix metalloproteinase 9) inhibitor, and a COX-II (cyclooxygenase 11) inhibitor. Non-limiting examples of the anti-angiogenic agent include rapamycin, temsirolimus (CCI-779), everolimus (RAD001), sorafenib, sunitinib, and bevacizumab. Examples of useful COX-II inhibitors include celecoxib, valdecoxib, and rofecoxib. Examples of useful matrix metalloproteinase inhibitors are described in WO96 / 33172, WO96 / 27583, WO98 / 07697, WO98 / 03516, WO98 / 34918, WO98 / 34915, WO98 / 33768, WO98 / 30566, WO90 / 05719, WO99 / 52910, WO99 / 52889, WO99 / 29667, WO99007675, EP0606046, EP0780386, EP1786785, EP1181017, EP0818442, EP1004578, and US20090012085, as well as U.S. Patent Nos. 5,863,949 and 5,861,510. Preferred MMP-2 inhibitors and MMP-9 inhibitors are MMP-2 inhibitors and MMP-9 inhibitors that have little or no activity to inhibit MMP-1. Compared with other MMPs (i.e., MAP-1, MMP-3, MMP-4, MMP-5, MMP-6, MMP-7, MMP-8, MMP-10, MMP-11, MMP-12, and MMP-13), MMP-2 inhibitors and MMP-9 inhibitors that selectively inhibit MMP-2 or MMP-9 are more preferred. Some specific examples of MMP inhibitors are AG-3340, RO32-3555, and RS13-0830.

[0191] In some embodiments, at least one of the additional therapeutic agents is a RAS inhibitor. The terms "RAS inhibitor" and "inhibitor of RAS" are used interchangeably to refer to any inhibitor that targets the RAS protein. In various embodiments, these terms include RAS(off) inhibitors and RAS(on) inhibitors such as, for example, the KRAS(off) inhibitor and the KRAS(on) inhibitor disclosed herein. The term "RAS(off) inhibitor" refers to any inhibitor that binds to the RAS protein at its GDP-bound "off" position, as further defined herein. The term "RAS(on) inhibitor" refers to any inhibitor that binds to the RAS protein at its GDP-bound "on" position, as further defined herein. In some embodiments, the RAS inhibitor has a molecular weight of less than 700 Da. In some embodiments, the RAS inhibitor is selected from the group consisting of AMG510, MRTX1257, JNJ-74699157 (ARS-3248), LY3537982, LY3499446, ARS-853, ARS-1620, GDC-6036, BPI-421286, JDQ443, JAB-21000, JAB-22000, JAB-23000, RSC-1255, ERAS-3490, D-1553, JAB-21822, GH-35, ICP-915, IBI351, and BI1823911. The RAS inhibitor can be a RAS vaccine or another therapeutic modality designed to directly or indirectly reduce the oncogenic activity of RAS.
[0192] As used herein, the terms "RAS pathway" and "RAS / MAPK pathway" are used interchangeably to refer to a signaling cascade downstream of various cell surface growth factor receptors in which activation of RAS (and its various isoforms and allotypes) is a central event that drives various cell effector events that determine cell proliferation, activation, differentiation, mobilization, and other functional characteristics. SHP2 conveys a positive signal from a growth factor receptor to the RAS activation / inactivation cycle, which is modulated by guanine nucleotide exchange factors (GEFs; such as SOS1) that load GTP onto RAS to yield functionally active GTP-bound RAS as well as GTP activation proteins (GAPs; such as NF1) that facilitate signal termination by converting GTP to GDP. The GTP-bound RAS resulting from this cycle conveys an essential positive signal to a series of serine / threonine kinases that are a source of further signals for various cell effector functions, including RAF kinase and MAP kinase.
[0193] In some embodiments, the RAS inhibitor targets KRAS, NRAS, or HRAS. In some embodiments, the RAS inhibitor is a RAS mutant-specific inhibitor. In some embodiments, the RAS mutant is (a) the following K-Ras mutants: G12D, G12V, G12C, G13D, G12R, G12A, Q61H, G12S, A146T, G13C, Q61L, Q61R, K117N, A146V, G12F, Q61K, L19F, Q22K, V14I, A59T, A146P, G13R, G12L, or G13V, and combinations thereof; (b) the following H-Ras mutants: Q61R, G13R, Q61K, G12S, Q61L, G12D, G13V, G13D, G12C, K117N, A59T, G12V, G13C, Q61H, G13S, A18V, D119N, G13N, A146T, A66T, G12A, A146V, G12N, or G12R, and combinations thereof; and (c) The following N-Ras mutants: Q61R, Q61K, G12D, Q61L, Q61H, G13R, G13D, G12S, G12C, G12V, G12A, G13V, G12R, P185S, G13C, A146T, G60E, Q61P, A59D, E132K, E49K, T50I, A146V, or A59T, and combinations thereof selected from
[0194] Mutations at these positions can result in RAS-driven tumors.
[0195] Methods for detecting mutations within the nucleotide sequences of KRAS, HRAS, or NRAS are known to those of skill in the art. These methods include, but are not limited to, polymerase chain reaction-restriction fragment length polymorphism (PCR-RFLP) assays, polymerase chain reaction-single-strand conformational polymorphism (PCR-SSCP) assays, real-time PCR assays, PCR sequencing, mutant allele-specific PCR amplification (MASA) assays, direct sequencing, primer extension reactions, electrophoresis, oligonucleotide ligation assays, hybridization assays, TaqMan assays, SNP genotyping assays, high-resolution melting assays, and microarray analysis. In some embodiments, a sample is assayed for the G12C mutation of KRAS, HRAS, or NRAS by real-time PCR. In real-time PCR, a fluorescent probe specific for the G12C mutation of KRAS, HRAS, or NRAS is used. If the mutation is present, the probe binds and fluorescence is detected. In some embodiments, the G12C mutation of KRAS, HRAS, or NRAS is identified using a direct sequencing method for specific regions (e.g., exon 2 and / or exon 3) within the gene of KRAS, HRAS, or NRAS. This technique will identify all possible mutations within the region being sequenced.
[0196] Those skilled in the art are aware of methods for detecting mutations within the proteins of KRAS, HRAS, or NRAS. These methods include, but are not limited to, the detection of mutants of KRAS, HRAS, or NRAS using a binder specific to the mutant protein (e.g., an antibody), protein electrophoresis, and Western blotting, as well as direct peptide sequencing.
[0197] Methods for determining whether a tumor or cancer contains a G12C mutation or other KRAS, HRAS, or NRAS mutations can use a variety of samples. In some embodiments, the sample is taken from a subject having a tumor or cancer. In some embodiments, the sample is a fresh tumor / cancer sample. In some embodiments, the sample is a frozen tumor / cancer sample. In some embodiments, the sample is a formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded sample. In some embodiments, the sample is a circulating tumor cell (CTC) sample. In some embodiments, the sample is processed into a cell lysate. In some embodiments, the sample is processed into DNA or RNA.
[0198] In some embodiments, at least one of the additional therapeutic agents is a RAS(off) inhibitor. In various embodiments, at least one of the additional therapeutic agents is a KRAS(off) inhibitor (e.g., any one or more of the KRAS(off) inhibitors disclosed herein or known in the art). In some embodiments, at least one of the additional therapeutic agents is a KRAS G12C (off) inhibitor (e.g., a KRAS G12C(One or more of the (OFF) inhibitors). In some embodiments, at least one of the additional therapeutic agents is AMG510, MRTX849, JDQ443, MRTX1133, ERAS-3490, ERAS-4, BPI-421286, D-1553, JAB-21822, GH-35, ICP-915, IBI351, LY3537982, GDC-6036, BI1823911, RSC-1255, or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt of any of the foregoing. In some embodiments, at least one of the additional therapeutic agents is selected from AMG510 and MRTX849. In some embodiments, the therapeutic agent is AMG510. In some embodiments, the therapeutic agent is MRTX849. In various embodiments, at least one of the additional therapeutic agents is an mTOR inhibitor (e.g., an mTOR dual stereoisomer inhibitor, e.g., RMC-5552), and one of the additional therapeutic agents is a KRAS G12C inhibitor.
[0199] As used herein, the term "RAS(off) inhibitor" refers to an inhibitor that targets, i.e., selectively binds to or inhibits, the GDP-bound inactive state of RAS (e.g., selectively over the GTP-bound active state of RAS). Inhibition of the GDP-bound inactive state of RAS includes, for example, inhibiting the exchange of GDP for GTP, thereby blocking the inactive state by preventing RAS from adopting an active conformation. In some embodiments, the RAS(off) inhibitor may also bind to or inhibit the GTP-bound active state of RAS (e.g., with lower affinity or a smaller inhibition constant than the GDP-bound inactive state of RAS). In some embodiments, the RAS(off) inhibitor has a molecular weight of less than 700 Da. The term "KRAS(off) inhibitor" refers to any inhibitor that binds to KRAS at its GDP-bound "off" position. References to the term KRAS(off) inhibitor include, for example, AMG510, MRTX849, JDQ443, and MRTX1133. In some embodiments, the KRAS(off) inhibitor is selected from AMG510 and MRTX849.

[0211] In some embodiments, the disclosed compositions or compounds can be used against immunosenescence. Immunosenescence may refer to, for example, a decline in immune function that results in, among other things, a depletion of the immune response to cancer, vaccination, and infectious agents. Immunosenescence is involved in both the host's ability to respond to infections and, in particular, the development of long-term immune memory by vaccination. This immunodeficiency is ubiquitous and is found as a function of the age of those species, compared to their life expectancy rather than chronological age, in both long-lived and short-lived species. Immunosenescence is thought to be a major contributing factor to the increased frequency of morbidity and mortality in the elderly. Immunosenescence is thought to repeat the evolutionary pattern in reverse, rather than being a random degradation phenomenon. Most of the parameters affected by immunosenescence are thought to be under genetic control. Immunosenescence is also sometimes thought to be the result of continuous induction of unavoidable exposure to various antigens such as viruses and bacteria. Immunosenescence is, for example, a multifactorial condition that causes many pathologically significant health problems in the elderly population. Age-dependent biological changes such as depletion of hematopoietic stem cells, increase in PD1+ lymphocytes, decrease in the total number of phagocytes and NK cells, and decline in humoral immunity contribute to the occurrence of immunosenescence. In one aspect, immunosenescence is measured in an individual by measuring the telomere length in immune cells (see, for example, U.S. Patent No. 5,741,677). Immunosenescence is also determined in an individual who is a subject 65 years of age or older by, for example, a number of naive CD4 and / or CD8 T cells less than a normal constant, a T cell repertoire, a number of PD1-expressing T cells, such as PD-1 negative T cells less than a normal constant, or by recording the response to vaccination. In certain embodiments, selective modulation of certain T cell populations by mTOR can improve vaccine efficacy and enhance the effectiveness of cancer immunotherapy in the aging population. The present disclosure provides a method of treating immunosenescence, the method comprising administering to a subject a therapeutically effective amount of one or more of the disclosed compositions or compounds.
