AI Technical Summary

Technical Problem

Current cancer treatments face challenges with tumor recurrence and drug resistance due to the activation of the unfolded protein response (UPR) pathway, particularly involving PERK, which has not been adequately targeted for therapeutic intervention.

Method used

A combination therapy using a PERK inhibitor (HC-5404) and an anti-PD-1 antibody is administered to modulate the immune system, inhibit myeloid-derived suppressor cells, and enhance T cell and NK cell infiltration into tumors, while also incorporating an anti-angiogenic agent to target tumor vasculature.

Benefits of technology

The combination therapy increases tumor cell expression of type 1 interferon receptor (INFAR1), enhances immune cell infiltration, reduces suppressive activity of MDSCs, and modulates the UPR, thereby improving cancer treatment efficacy.

[Technical Field]

[0001] CROSS-REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATIONS

[0001] This application claims the benefit of and priority to U.S. Provisional Patent Application Nos. 63 / 443,344, filed February 3, 2023, 63 / 455,911, filed March 30, 2023, and 63 / 413,116, filed October 4, 2022, the contents of each of which are incorporated by reference in their entirety into this specification. [Background technology]

[0002] background Cancer is the leading cause of death worldwide, accounting for nearly 10 million deaths in 2020 (World Health Organization). Targeted therapy and immunotherapy have dramatically improved prognosis, paving the way for cancer treatment. However, tumor recurrence, drug resistance, and drug intolerance remain significant challenges in cancer management (Wang et al., “Drug resistance and combating drug resistance in cancer,” Cancer Drug Resistance, 2019, 2(2): 141-160; Chakraborty et al., “The difficulties in cancer treatment,” Cancer Medical Science, 2012, 6: ed. 16). Cancer manifests as widespread proliferation of tumor cells, which requires the proper functioning of the protein machinery (Waczak et al., 2019). The endoplasmic reticulum (ER) regulates the folding, synthesis, and maturation of proteins required by tumor cells, playing a crucial role in maintaining tumor homeostasis (Yoo et al., 2017). The accumulation of unfolded proteins in the ER lumen activates three major pathways: 1) PERK, 2) inositol-requiring enzyme 1α (IRE1α), and 3) activating transcription factor 6 (ATF6)—collectively known as the unfolded protein response (UPR)—which enable cells to correct this stress and survive (Walter and Ron, 2011; Urra et al., 2016).Evidence suggests that in various types of cancer, UPR activation is a mechanism that allows tumor cells to adapt to the demands on the ER and oxidative conditions imposed by conditions inherent to their biology, such as increased translational load caused by the loss of oncogenes and tumor suppressor genes, and by environmental conditions commonly found in the tumor / metastatic microenvironment, such as hypoxia, among other signals (Blais et al., 2004; Chevet et al., 2015; Tameire et al., 2015; Hart et al., 2012; Martin-Perez et al., 2014; Rajasekhar and Holland, 2004; Rajasekhar et al., 2003; Rojo et al., 2007; Sequeira et al., 2009). Oncogene-activated pathways increase ER client protein load through activation of mTOR signaling and translation initiation (Tameire et al., 2015; Hart et al., 2012; Ozcan et al., 2008). Other studies have further demonstrated that the UPR pathway contributes to adaptation to hypoxia and microenvironmental stress (Blais et al., 2004; Bi et al., 2005; Chen et al., 2014; Romero-Ramirez et al., 2009; Rouschop et al., 2010; Schewe et al., 2008; Ye et al., 2010), suggesting that UPR activation may enable adaptation to a changing environment.

[0003] As a component of the UPR pathway, PERK is involved in tumorigenesis-promoting processes, making it an attractive target for anticancer therapy. More specifically, PERK phosphorylates eukaryotic translation initiation factor 2α (eIF2α), nuclear factor (erythroid-derived 2)-like 2 (Nrf2), and forkhead box protein O1 (FOXO) proteins. Phosphorylation of eIF2α inhibits general protein synthesis, reducing protein load while inducing targeted translation of uORFs containing mRNAs such as ATF4. ATF4 then initiates a gene expression program consisting of, among others, antioxidant, chaperone, and autophagy genes aimed at restoring protein homeostasis and inducing cell survival in the context of ER stress. Cancer cells, by definition, are characterized by cellular activities and microenvironmental factors that contribute to the activation of the UPR (including oncogenic protein synthesis, hypoxic environments, dissemination and residence in different microenvironments, etc.), and in addition, the actions of many therapeutic agents further contribute to the activation of the UPR in cells that are not eliminated by therapy. The UPR pathway, including PERK, has not been a frequently investigated pathway / target for cancer therapy. Summary of the Invention [Problem to be solved by the invention]

[0256] As used herein, the phrase "tumor-infiltrating lymphocytes" refers to white blood cells (e.g., T cells and / or NK cells) of a subject with cancer (e.g., a cancer described herein) that are resident in the tumor or that have otherwise left the circulation (blood or lymph) and migrated to the tumor.

[0123]

[0257] As used herein, the term "immunotherapy" refers to the treatment of disease by inducing, enhancing, or suppressing an immune response. Immunotherapies designed to elicit or amplify an immune response are classified as activating immunotherapies, while immunotherapies that reduce or suppress an immune response are classified as suppressing immunotherapies.

[0124]

[0258] As used herein, the phrase "immune checkpoint inhibitor" refers to drugs that block specific proteins made by some types of immune system cells, such as T cells, and by some cancer cells. These proteins help suppress the immune response and can prevent T cells from killing cancer cells. Blocking these proteins restores immune system function and unleashes the immune system, allowing T cells to kill cancer cells.

[0125]

[0259] As used herein, the term "anti-angiogenic agent" refers to an agent that modulates (e.g., inhibits) angiogenesis, vasculogenesis, or vascular permeability. Anti-angiogenic agents include agents that block the angiogenic activity of angiogenic factors or their receptors.

[0126]

[0260] As used herein, the term "antibody" refers to a functional component of serum and is often referred to either as a group of molecules (antibodies or immunoglobulins) or as a single molecule (the antibody molecule or immunoglobulin molecule). Antibodies have the ability to bind to or react with a specific antigenic determinant (the antigen or antigenic epitope), which can lead to the induction of immune effector mechanisms. Individual antibodies are usually considered monospecific, and antibody compositions can be monoclonal (i.e., consisting of identical antibody molecules) or polyclonal (i.e., consisting of two or more different antibodies reacting with the same or different epitopes on the same antigen or on distinct different antigens). Each antibody has a unique structure that enables specific binding to its corresponding antigen, and all naturally occurring antibodies have the same overall basic structure of two identical light chains and two identical heavy chains. Antibodies are also collectively known as immunoglobulins. The antibody may be of human or non-human (e.g., rodent such as mouse, canine, camelid, etc.) origin (e.g., may have a sequence that originally occurred in a human or non-human cell or organism), or may be or include, for example, a chimeric, humanized, reshaped, or reformatted antibody based on (or in some embodiments based on an antigen-binding portion of) such a human or non-human antibody.

[0127]

[0261] As used herein, "biosimilar" is used to describe a biological agent that is highly similar to a reference biological agent. The term is generally used to describe a follow-on version of a biological agent (e.g., from a different source) that is not expected to be exactly the same as the reference biological agent.

[0128]

[0262] As used herein, the term "antagonist" refers to an agent that (i) reduces or inhibits one or more effects of another agent; and / or (ii) reduces or inhibits one or more biological events. In some embodiments, an antagonist may reduce the level and / or activity of one or more agents that it targets. In some embodiments, an antagonist may be a receptor antagonist, e.g., a receptor ligand or drug, that blocks or attenuates a biological response by binding to and blocking the receptor rather than activating the receptor as an agonist does.

[0129]

[0263] As used herein, the term "agonist" refers to an agent that (i) increases or induces one or more effects of another agent; and / or (ii) increases or induces one or more biological events. In some embodiments, an agonist may increase the level and / or activity of one or more agents that it targets.

[0496] Prior to use, Lipase PS Amano (see Mendiola, J. et al., Org. Process Res. Dev. 2012, 16, 1312-1316) was immobilized on a diatomaceous earth support by mixing 200 g of diatomaceous earth with 200 g of Lipase PS Amano SD. H2O was added until the solid was covered, and the mixture was stirred. The H2O was removed in an oven at 4 mbar and 40°C for 16 hours. Water content was determined by Karl Fischer titration to be less than 1%.

[0364]

[0497] Support-immobilized lipase PS Amano SD (250 g) and vinyl acetate (312 mL; 3.36 mol) were added to a suspension of racemic 2-(3,5-difluorophenyl)-2-hydroxyacetic acid (125 g, 664 mmol) in methyl tert-butyl ether (2.50 L), and the mixture was stirred at 26° C. for 72 h. After this time, the solid was rinsed and filtered with methyl tert-butyl ether (1.50 L), and the combined filtrate was concentrated under reduced pressure. The residue was slurried in dichloromethane (160 mL) at 23° C. for 4 h. The mixture was filtered, and the solid was washed with petroleum ether (150 mL), and dried to give the title compound (47.0 g, 36%). 1H NMR (d6-DMSO) δ 5.11 (s, 1H), 6.20 (bs, 1H), 7.11-7.21 (m, 3H), 12.8 (bs, 1H). The absolute configuration was determined by vibrational circular dichroism (see Freedman TB et al, Chirality, 2003 Nov., 15(9), 743-758). Chiral HPLC: Rt = 7.39 min (UV); Column: Chiralpak® AD 4.6 × 150 mm 5 μm; 5% EtOH in n-hexane (0.05% TFA) isocratic; Flow rate: 1.5 mL / min, ee > 98%.

[0365] Step 2: Synthesis of 2-amino-5-(4-amino-2-methyl-phenyl)-N-isopropyl-pyridine-3-carboxamide [ka]

[0498] 3-Methyl-4-(4,4,5,5-tetramethyl-1,3,2-dioxaborolan-2-yl)aniline (93.6 g, 0.401 mol), K2CO3 (119 g, 0.860 mol), and Pd(dppf)2Cl2 (10.6 g, 140 mmol) were added to a solution of 2-amino-5-bromo-N-isopropyl-pyridine-3-carboxamide (74.0 g, 0.287 mol) in dioxane (888 mL) and HO (296 mL), and the mixture was heated overnight at 55° C. The mixture was cooled to 23° C., ethyl acetate (150 mL) was added, and the resulting suspension was filtered through diatomaceous earth, rinsing the solid with ethyl acetate (50 mL). The combined filtrate was washed with H2O (30 mL) and saturated aqueous NaCl (300 mL) and concentrated under reduced pressure to give the title compound (78.0 g, 96%). ES / MS m / z 285.1 (M+H).

[0366] Step 3: Synthesis of (R)-2-amino-5-(4-(2-(3,5-difluorophenyl)-2-hydroxyacetamido)-2-methylphenyl)-N-isopropylnicotinamide [ka]

[0499] A mixture of (2R)-2-(3,5-difluorophenyl)-2-hydroxyacetic acid (29.0 g, 0.154 mol), 2-amino-5-(4-amino-2-methyl-phenyl)-N-isopropyl-pyridine-3-carboxamide (43.83 g, 0.154 mol), and N,N-diisopropylethylamine (39.8 g, 0.308 mol) in tetrahydrofuran (960 mL) was treated with (1-[bis(dimethylamino)methylene]-1H-1,2,3-triazolo[4,5-b]pyridinium 3-oxide hexafluorophosphate) (87.9 g, 0.231 mol) at 0° C. for 30 minutes, and the mixture was warmed to 20° C. and stirred for 2 hours. Ethyl acetate (50 mL) was added, and the mixture was filtered. The filtrate was concentrated under reduced pressure, and the residue was purified by chromatography (eluent: 2:1 petroleum ether / ethyl acetate) and then by supercritical fluid chromatography, SFC (column: Chiralpak® IC 30×250 mm 5 μm (Daicel); MeOH / CO2=30:70 isocratic; flow rate: 80 g / min; back pressure: 100 bar; column temperature: 40 °C) to give the title compound (27.5 g, 39%) as a white solid. ES / MS m / z 455.2 (M+H).

[0367] Step 4: Synthesis of (R)-2-amino-5-(4-(2-(3,5-difluorophenyl)-2-hydroxyacetamido)-2-methylphenyl)-N-isopropylnicotinamide hemifumarate [ka]

[0500] To a 300 L reactor under N2 and stirring at 25°C, IPA (174.3 kg, 40.0 V) and HC-5404 (5.48 kg, 0.012 mol, 1.0 eq) were added. The resulting mixture was stirred at 35°C for 3 hours and filtered through a 3M carbon filter (IPC: Pd content <2 ppm LOQ). The filtrate was combined with fumaric acid (0.72 kg, 0.55 eq) and stirred at 25°C for 9 hours to give HC-5404-FU.

[0368] Example 2: Study of HC-5404 + anti-PD-1 antibody (RMP1-14 murine antibody) combination therapy in a murine MB49 syngeneic bladder cancer model

[0501] C57BL / 6 mice were inoculated subcutaneously with MB49 cells, and treatment began 8 days after cell inoculation. Groups of animals (n = 10 / group) received either vehicle, HC-5404 (PO, BID) (3 mg / kg, 10 mg / kg, or 30 mg / kg), 5 mg / kg anti-PD-1 antibody (aPD-1) (RMP1-14) (IP, BIW), or a combination of both. Animals were sacrificed at various time points, and flow cytometry was performed on blood or single-cell suspensions from tumors or lymph nodes (n = 6). Although HC-5404 alone showed only a modest antitumor effect (32% tumor growth inhibition (TGI)), adding HC-5404 to aPD-1 resulted in a combined antitumor effect (75% TGI), significantly improving the effect of aPD-1 alone (53% TGI) (Figures 2B, 2C, 2D, 2E, 2F, and 2G).

[0369]

[0502] The efficacy of HC-5404 + aPD-1 therapy correlated with increased expression of type 1 interferon receptor (IFNAR1) and surface calreticulin on tumor cells (Figures 3D and 4B). In addition, IFNAR1 expression was significantly increased on polymorphonuclear myeloid-derived suppressor cells (PMN-MDSCs) and tumor-associated macrophages (TAMs) (Figures 3A, 3B, and 3C). TAMs also showed increased expression of PD-L1 with combination treatment (Figure 3E). Concomitant with myeloid cell activation, combination treatment increased the frequency of CD8 T cells in tumors (Figures 5A and 5B), along with increased expression of the activation marker CD69 on T cells in tumor-draining lymph nodes (Figures 5C and 5D). Notably, the effect of HC-5404 on IFNAR1 was also detected on peripheral blood monocytes, demonstrating surface expression of IFNAR1 as a potential biomarker for HC-5404 activity (Figure 8). In vitro evaluation of human umbilical cord blood- and mouse bone marrow-derived MDSCs demonstrated reduced T cell inhibition in the presence of HC-5404 (Figures 10A, 10C, 11A, and 11C). Collectively, these data demonstrate the effective immunostimulatory effect of coadministering HC-5404 with anti-PD1 mAb and outline its potential application in cancers under ICI treatment.

[0370]

[0503] HC-5404 + aPD-1 treatment also correlated with increased CD4 activation and memory T cell induction (as evidenced by Ki67 expression, EOMES expression, granzyme B expression, TCF-1 expression, and / or effector memory populations) (Figures 6A, 6B, 6C, 6D, and 6E) and expansion of DC populations in the lymph nodes (LNs) of treated mice (Figures 7A, 7B, and 7C).

[0371] [Table 1]

[0372] Animal characterization

[0504] Female C57BL / 6 mice (7-8 week old animals, 20-25 grams, Envigo) were used.

[0373] cell line

[0505] The MB49 (Lot No. 18B016) murine urothelial carcinoma cell line was purchased from Sigma-The European Collection of Authenticated Cell Cultures (ECACC). The cells were free of human and animal pathogens when tested by h-IMPACT-I and IMPACT-III (IDEXX Bioresearch, Columbia, MO). In addition, the genetic profile of the cells was consistent with the ECACC reference standard when tested by STR-based DNA fingerprinting assay. The cells were maintained in DMEM containing 10% FBS and cultured up to passage 4 before transplantation. Cells were harvested at approximately 80% confluence, washed twice with DMEM without FBS, and cultured at 5 × 10 cells for transplantation. 6 The cells were suspended in FBS-free DMEM at 1000 cells / mL.

[0374] Building the MB49 model

[0506] On day 0, female Balb / c mice (7-8 weeks old) under isoflurane anesthesia were injected with 0.5 × 10 infusions in a total volume of 100 mL into the right flank area. 6 MB49 cells were subcutaneously implanted into each mouse. Five days after implantation, the average tumor volume was approximately 50 mm. 3 When the serotonin concentration reached 0.05, animals were randomized into treatment groups.

[0375] Measurement parameters

[0507] Tumor volumes were measured twice weekly.

[0376]

[0508] Tumor volume was calculated using the formula [tumor volume (mm 3 ) = π / 6 × length × width 2) and plotted as mean ± SEM. %T / C (ratio of tumor volume between treatment and control groups) was calculated by the formula 100 × ΔT / ΔC if the mean ΔT > 0. ΔT, mean tumor volume of the drug-treated group on the observation day of the study - mean tumor volume of the drug-treated group on the start of dose administration; ΔC, mean tumor volume of the control group on the observation day of the study - mean tumor volume of the control group on the start of dose administration. If ΔT < 0, regression was calculated using the formula = 100 × ΔT / T start. If tumor volume was 14 mm or less for three consecutive measurements, regression was calculated using the formula = 100 × ΔT / T start. 3 Animals with less than 50% tumor regression were considered complete responses, and tumors with greater than 50% regression were considered partial responses.

[0377]

[0509] At the end of the study, animals were euthanized using CO2 asphyxiation.

[0379] Flow cytometric analysis of myeloid and lymphoid cells in MB49 Preparation of tumor tissue

[0511] Tumor tissue samples were obtained 7 days after treatment (14 days after inoculation). Single cells were prepared by enzymatic digestion of tumor tissue and subsequently analyzed by flow cytometry on a Cytek Aurora. Expression of IFNAR1 (A) and PD-L1 (B) in myeloid populations and tumors is shown.

[0380]

[0512] Seven days after treatment, surface calreticulin on MB49 tumor cells was analyzed by flow cytometry.

[0381] LN preparation

[0513] Single-cell suspensions were washed twice with PBS and then stained with LIVE / DEAD fixable blue dead cell stain (Invitrogen catalog no. L23105) at a 1:3000 dilution for 30 minutes at 4°C. Cells were washed once with FACS buffer (PBS containing 2.5% FBS and 0.1% sodium azide), Fc receptors were blocked for 5–10 minutes, and then stained with an Ab cocktail in Super Bright complete staining buffer (Invitrogen catalog no.

[0401] Example 3: Cell-based assay

[0528] Cell-based assay: 1 x 10 HEK293 cells per well 6Cells were plated and treated with HC-5404 for 30 minutes, after which tunicamycin (1 μM) was added to induce ER stress. Four hours after tunicamycin addition, cells were harvested and lysed in RIPA buffer supplemented with protease and phosphatase inhibitors for Western blotting. Total protein concentration was determined by BCA, and 30 mg of protein was loaded onto an SDS-PAGE gel, transferred to nitrocellulose, and probed with primary antibodies against phosphorylated T-982 of human PERK or total ATF4, followed by incubation with an infrared-labeled secondary antibody. Blots were imaged on a LiCor Imager and normalized to the total protein in the well using Revert™ staining. Band intensities were quantified and normalized to those of DMSO-treated samples. Normalized band intensities were plotted as percent inhibition against a 10-point, 3-fold dilution series of HC-5404. IC values ​​were calculated using a four-parameter logistic curve fit in XLFit. 50 values ​​were calculated.

[0402] Example 4: Biochemical Assays

[0529] The potency of HC-5404 against the four ISR kinases was assessed in a cell-free FRET-based biochemical assay according to the manufacturer's instructions (Carna).

[0403] Example 5: Protein Analysis

[0530] Samples were placed in 500 μL of Novex lysis buffer, consisting of 2x Novex Tris-Glycine SDS sample buffer (ThermoFisher LC2676), 1x Phosphatase Inhibitor Cocktail III (Sigma P0044), 1x Phosphatase Arrest I (Gibco 113P-D), 1x 2-mercaptoethanol (Gibco 21985023), 1x Benzonase (EMD Millipore Corp 70746-3), and 1x Protease Inhibitor Cocktail Tablet (Roche / Sigma 11836170001). The samples were homogenized with a Polytron and heated at 95°C for 10 minutes. They were then centrifuged at maximum speed for 10 minutes, and the supernatant was decanted. The protein concentration of the samples was measured using the Pierce 660nm Protein Assay Kit (Thermo Scientific 22660) according to the manufacturer's instructions.

[0404]

[0531] Western blot analysis was performed on a SimpleWestern high-throughput protein analysis platform (ProteinSimple 004-650) using the 12–230 kDA separation module (ProteinSimple SM-W004) and the total protein detection module (ProteinSimple DM-TP01) according to the manufacturer's protocol. The antibodies used were: pPERK (Lilly; 1:50) and PERK (Cell Signaling Technology 5683; 1:200) (additional information on other antibodies used). All protein analytes were normalized to the total protein loaded onto the capillary.

[0405] Example 6: Immunohistochemistry and image analysis

[0532] Formalin-fixed, paraffin-embedded samples were sectioned at 5 μm thickness and mounted on Superfrost Plus microscope slides (Fisher Scientific). All immunohistochemistry (IHC) staining was performed on a Bond Rx automated stainer (Leica Biosystems) using the conventional TSA amplification and detection system. The primary antibodies used were: α-CD31 (Abcam #ab182981), α-smooth muscle actin (SMA; Abcam #ab124964), and α-Meca32 (Novus Biologicals #NB100-77668). TSA-conjugated Alexa488 and Alexa647 fluorophores (Invitrogen #B40953 and #B40958) were used at a 1:500 dilution. Slides were counterstained with DAPI and coverslipped using Mowiol antifade mounting medium (Sigma #D2522).

[0406]

[0533] Slides were imaged using a 10x / 0.32NA objective on an Aperio Versa 200 (Leica Biosystems) whole-slide scanner, and data were analyzed using a custom-written macro in ImageJ / FIJI (NIH). Briefly, a 150 μm outer edge of tumor sections was excluded from analysis. Tissue area was measured using the DAPI channel with Gaussian blurring. Scans of 104envat staining were processed with a median filter to remove noise, and then the positive area was measured at the appropriate threshold level. The percent positive area for each marker was calculated. CD31-SMA double-positive area was measured using image calculations on binary images. These data were subjected to one-way ANOVA and pairwise comparisons using Prism GraphPad.

[0407] Example 7: In vivo mouse tumor studies animal

[0534] Animals were allowed to acclimate for 7 days after arrival in the animal facility. Mice were housed under pathogen-free conditions in a facility with a 12-hour light / dark cycle and were provided with standard laboratory chow and water ad libitum.

[0408] Xenograft model

[0535] The xenograft RCC model was established as follows: female NOD.SCID mice (6-8 weeks old) were inoculated with A498 RCC cells (5 × 10 6 Female Balb / c nude mice (6–8 weeks old) were injected with 786-O RCC cells (5 × 10 6 cells / mouse) or Caki-1 RCC cells (6 × 10 6 cells / mouse) and MFE280 endometrial cells (10 × 10 6 The cells were transplanted into the flank of the animals.

[0409] PDX Model

[0536] To generate patient-derived xenograft models, small pieces of neuroendocrine pancreatic carcinoma were implanted into female NSG mice (6–8 weeks old), fragments of Huprime gastric carcinoma were implanted into female Balb / c nude mice, and for single-animal studies in RCC PDX models, tumor fragments from selected RCC PDX models were implanted into one side of mice.

[0410] treatment

[0537] Tumors typically 150-250 mm 3 Once tumor volume reached 100 μg, animals were randomized by tumor volume into treatment groups with 8 or 10 animals per group. Single-animal studies in RCC PDX models enrolled only one animal per group. Treatment groups typically included vehicle (10 μl / g body weight, orally (PO), twice daily (BID)), HC-5404 (3, 10, or 30 mg / kg PO, BID), cabozantinib (30 mg / kg PO, daily (QD)), axitinib (30 mg / kg PO, BID), envatinib (10 mg / kg PO, BID), sunitinib (20 mg / kg PO, QD), or DC101 (15 mg / kg, 15 mg / kg, or 20 mg / kg, intraperitoneally (IP), twice weekly (BIW)).

[0411]

[0538] Body weight and tumor volume were measured twice a week. 3 ) = π / 6 × length × width2 Tumor volumes were calculated using the % ΔT metric and plotted as the mean + SEM. At the end of the study, if ΔT > 0, the percentage of tumor growth inhibition was calculated using the formula: 100 - [1 - (ΔT / ΔC)] (ΔT, mean tumor volume of the drug-treated group on the observation day of the study - mean tumor volume of the drug-treated group on the first dose; ΔC, mean tumor volume of the control group on the observation day of the study - mean tumor volume of the control group on the first dose). If ΔT < 0, regression was calculated using the formula = 100 × ΔT / T at start. Animals with greater than 50% regression were considered partial responders. Animals with a tumor volume of 0 (no measurable tumor) were considered complete responders, and animals with less than 50% tumor regression and less than 30% growth compared to baseline were considered stable disease. Animals with greater than 30% tumor growth compared to baseline were considered progressive disease. The percent body weight change was calculated using the formula (body weight on observation day - body weight on day 1) / body weight on day 1 × 100%.

[0412] Multiple in vivo studies

[0539] At the start of the study, 786-O xenografts (approximately 200 mm 3 One hundred and sixteen mice bearing HC-5404 (30 mg / kg PO; BID) initiated treatment with axitinib as a single agent (30 mg / kg PO; BID). After 14 days of treatment, 77 mice bearing the largest tumors were re-randomized into four PD arms (n=8) and four efficacy arms (n=10). Five baseline tumor samples were collected on the day of re-randomization. The remaining animals were removed from the study. The four treatment groups were vehicle, HC-5404 (30 mg / kg PO; BID), axitinib (30 mg / kg PO; BID), or a combination thereof, and these treatments continued for 28 days.

[0413] Example 8: HC-5404 is a potent and selective PERK inhibitor

[0540] PERK is one of four closely related kinases of the integrated stress response (ISR) that phosphorylates eIF2α in response to cellular stress. Both tumorigenesis and treatment with many anticancer drugs have been shown to activate the ISR, and hypoxic stress is associated with activation of PERK signaling as an adaptive response. To understand the specific role of PERK in RCC, we investigated the aminopyridine PERK inhibitor HC-5404.

[0414]

[0541] The selectivity of HC-5404 for PERK relative to the ISR kinases GCN2, HRI, and PKR was assessed using a cell-free biochemical assay. In this assay, recombinant target kinases were incubated with ATP and an eIF2α-based fluorogenic substrate, and kinase activity was assessed in the presence of HC-5404 over a concentration series. These experiments demonstrated the IC 50 The activity of 1 nM was found to be greater than 2000-fold biochemically selective over GCN2 (IC50 = 2.17 μM), HRI (IC50 = 2.96 μM), and PKR (IC50 > 10 μM) (Figures 12, 13, 14, 15, 16).

[0415]

[0542] Next, we evaluated the selectivity of HC-5404 across a broader kinome by measuring binding to 468 unique kinases, including 403 wild-type human kinases and 59 mutant isoforms, using the KINOMEScan biochemical panel assay. Of note, this kinome panel does not include PERK (also known as EIF2AK3). HC-5404 was evaluated at 100 nM, 1000 nM, and 10,000 nM, revealing a high degree of selectivity across this kinome (Figure 17). No interactions were observed when HC-5404 was assayed at 100 nM, whereas BLK and the atypical kinase RIOK2 were inhibited at 1000 nM, and only nine kinases were inhibited by >65% at 10,000 nM HC-5404.

[0416]

[0543] The cell-based activity of HC-5404 was evaluated using HEK293 cells treated with tunicamycin (Tm; 1 μM) to induce ER stress. Tm treatment resulted in autophosphorylation of PERK at Thr982 (pPERK) and increased ATF4 levels, both of which were inhibited by HC-5404 in a concentration-dependent manner (IC ). 50 =23 nM and 115 nM; Figures 12, 13, 14, 15, 16).

[0417]

[0544] Taken together, these results demonstrate that HC-5404 is a potent, selective and cell-active PERK kinase inhibitor.

[0418] Example 9: In vivo characterization of HC-5404

[0545] Initial in vivo studies were conducted to understand pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic (PK / PD) relationships and optimize dose administration regimens. HC-5404 was quantified in mouse plasma after single oral administration (PO) at doses ranging from 3 to 100 mg / kg. Up to 100 mg / kg, a dose-proportional increase in exposure was observed, with Cmax occurring before 1 hour and a mean half-life of 2.22 hours. Mouse plasma protein binding (PPB%) was determined to be 95.6%, allowing us to calculate free drug plasma exposure over time (Figure 18). A 30 mg / kg oral dose resulted in a free drug exposure of 355 nM at Cmax, well below the 1000 nM concentration assayed by kinome scan, which revealed minimal secondary binding.

[0419]

[0546] The PK / PD relationship was evaluated in mouse pancreas, as the pancreas exhibits elevated pPERK activity and is therefore suitable for PD analysis. Treatment with HC-5404 resulted in time- and dose-dependent inhibition of p-PERK in pancreatic tissue. When administered at 30 mg / kg, plasma HC-5404 reached 3668 ng / mL (355 nM, unbound) at 1 hour, as shown in the table below. At these concentrations, pPERK inhibition was approximately 90% (Figure 19). As HC-5404 was cleared from plasma, pPERK gradually increased and returned to basal levels by 12 hours after administration.

[0420] [Table 5]

[0421]

[0547] A single oral dose of 100 mg / kg achieved a proportional increase in exposure, reaching a Cmax of 16583 ng / mL (1605 nM, unbound) (Figure 20). At this high dose level, HC-5404 exposure remained above 3200 ng / mL (311 nM, unbound) in plasma for up to 12 hours after administration, resulting in pPERK inhibition (<20% activity) for the first 12 hours after treatment.

[0422]

[0548] The ability of HC-5404 to suppress tumor growth was evaluated in the 786-O xenograft RCC model. The 786-O tumor model is homozygous for a frameshift mutation following Gly104 in the von Hippel-Lindau protein (VHLmut), resulting in activation of the UPR, including HIF stabilization and elevated pPERK expression. Similar to the pancreas, administration of 30 mg / kg HC-5404 induced approximately 90% pPERK inhibition in 786-O tumors 1 hour after dose administration, which returned to baseline by 8 hours (Figure 21).

[0423]

[0549] To evaluate the single-agent activity of HC-5404 and explore the effect of splitting the dose between QD and BID administration, mice bearing 786-O xenografts were treated with 3, 10, or 30 mg / kg PO BID, in parallel with 6, 20, or 60 mg / kg PO QD, to assess the effect of the dosing regimen on tumor growth. Although the difference between BID and QD administration was not statistically significant, the general trend indicated a better antitumor effect with BID administration. Of the doses tested, 30 mg / kg BID induced the highest efficacy, with 48% tumor growth inhibition (Figure 22). Based on these results, the 30 mg / kg BID dose was used for subsequent in vivo tumor studies.

[0424]

[0550] The dose level of HC-5404 was further explored using Capan-2 pancreatic tumor xenografts, a model previously reported to be sensitive to PERK inhibition. Treatment with 30 and 100 mg / kg HC-5404 BID resulted in 50% and 43% TGI, respectively (Figure 23). The lack of differences between dose levels suggests that increasing the dose above 30 mg / kg when administered twice daily is unlikely to improve the single-agent activity of HC-5404. Because PERK inhibition has been associated with pancreatic toxicity, pancreatic sections from mice treated with 30 mg / kg or 100 mg / kg HC-5404 were evaluated. Only the 100 mg / kg dose revealed histological changes in the pancreas, which were reversible with a 2-week washout period (Figure 24). Taken together, these findings further supported the decision to administer a dose of 30 mg / kg HC-5404 in subsequent in vivo studies.

[0551] Receptor tyrosine kinase inhibitors (RTKs) targeting VEGF receptors (VEGFR-TKIs) are antiangiogenic agents that disrupt tumor vascular development as a critical component of their mechanism of action, driving tumor hypoxia and nutrient deprivation. Hypoxia and glucose deprivation are known drivers of ER stress and PERK pathway activation in tumors.

[0426]

[0552] The effects of three second-generation VEGFR-TKIs on tumor growth and PERK activation were evaluated. Mice bearing 786-O xenografts were orally administered multiple dose levels of cabozantinib (15, 30, and 60 mg / kg), lenvatinib (5 and 10 mg / kg), or axitinib (15 and 30 mg / kg) for 21 days, after which tumors were excised and analyzed for pPERK levels. All three VEGFR-TKIs induced a dose-dependent increase in pPERK, reflecting the level of tumor growth inhibition (Figure 26). The doses used were well tolerated, as no treatment-related weight loss was observed (Figure 26). Sunitinib was evaluated in 786-O xenografts and also demonstrated an increase in pPERK. This effect increased over time (Figure 27). Based on these experiments, the dose regimen for the follow-up combination study was selected.

[0427]

[0553] Next, studies were conducted to evaluate the effect of adding HC-5404. Axitinib, cabozantinib, lenvatinib, and sunitinib were each tested in combination with HC-5404 in studies using 786-O RCC xenografts. Each study included a PD arm, in which samples were collected 7 days after administration to evaluate the effect of treatment on angiogenesis and pPERK levels. Consistent with the initial dose-finding studies, the PD arms of these experiments revealed that all VEGFR-TKIs induced pPERK accumulation, which was inhibited by the addition of HC-5404 (Figure 27).

[0428]

[0554] In the efficacy arms of each tumor growth study, HC-5404 and second-generation VEGFR-TKIs (axitinib, lenvatinib, and cabozantinib) had a modest effect on tumor volume. In contrast, combining a VEGFR-TKI with HC-5404 resulted in tumor regression compared to baseline (Figure 28). At the dose levels tested, sunitinib was a more effective inhibitor of 786-O tumors compared with second-generation VEGFR-TKIs. While sunitinib as a single agent was an effective inhibitor of 786-O growth, TGI levels were still elevated in combination with HC-5404, supporting a mechanistic interaction between VEGFR-TKIs and PERK inhibitors and highlighting the potential therapeutic benefit of combining a VEGFR-TKI with HC-5404. HC-5404 sensitizes RCC tumor models to antiangiogenic VEGFR-TKIs and enhances their antitumor effects.

[0429]

[0555] The efficacy of HC-5404 was further validated in tumors by assessing the response of in vivo PERK inhibitory markers. Previous studies have highlighted the unexpected induction of downstream targets of ATF4, including asparagine synthetase (ASNS) and phosphoserine aminotransferase (PSAT1). Other canonical targets of ATF4, including CBS and CTH, were investigated. Treatment with HC-5404 induced dose-dependent accumulation of ASNS, CBS, and CTH in 786-O tumors (Figure 29).

[0430] Example 11: Sensitivity to the combination of VEGFR-TKI and HC-5404 is independent of VHL mutation status

[0556] RCC is characterized by frequent VHL mutations and their subsequent genetic silencing, which dysregulates HIF expression, driving a proangiogenic tumor environment associated with increased VEGF expression and activation of the UPR. There may be a correlation between VHL mutation status, pPERK expression, and sensitivity to VEGFR-TKIs. Three RCC tumor models were investigated: 786-O and A498 (Gly144 frameshift) were selected as representative VHL mutant models, and the Caki-1 model was selected as a VHL wild-type model.

[0431]

[0557] We first characterized the models by determining basal pPERK levels. Consistent with HIF pathway activation caused by VHL mutation-driven ER stress, 786-O and A498 tumors in the vehicle group exhibited elevated pPERK levels (Figure 30). In contrast, pPERK was nearly undetectable in Caki-1 tumors. As expected, treatment with HC-5404 potently inhibited pPERK expression in all three models (Figure 30).

[0432]

[0558] Because basal PERK pathway involvement may predict sensitivity to PERK inhibition, we examined the sensitivity of three RCC models to HC-5404. Sensitivity to HC-5404 varied among the three xenograft models, reflecting their basal levels of pPERK activity and VHL status. HC-5404 induced approximately 52% and 41% TGI in 786-O and A498, respectively, whereas HC-5404 had only minimal effects on growth in the Caki-1 model (Figure 36).

[0433]

[0559] To assess differences in sensitivity to PERK inhibition and VEGFR-TKI treatment, the A498 and Caki-1 models were treated with HC-5404, sunitinib, or their combination for 28 days. The level of tumor response among these three models reflected their genetic background: VHL mutant A498 was sensitive to HC-5404 as a single agent, but only achieved a TGI of approximately 40% (Figure 31). Similarly, the A498 model was sensitive to sunitinib, with robust single-agent activity resulting in a TGI of 80%. Combining sunitinib and HC-5404 in the VHL mutant model resulted in a 22% tumor regression in A498 (Figure 31). In contrast, Caki-1 was much less sensitive to either HC-5404 or sunitinib as monotherapy, and although the combination treatment was effective, the TGI only reached 47% in the combination group (Figure 32).

[0434]

[0560] The observation that Caki1 responded poorly to HC-5404 and sunitinib treatment suggested that VHL mutation status could potentially be used as a selection criterion to predict sensitivity to treatment. Therefore, 15 different RCC patient-derived xenografts (PDXs) were evaluated in a single-animal study directly comparing wild-type and mutant VHL models. Animals were treated with axitinib, HC-5404, or their combination for 28 days, and the magnitude of the observed combination benefit was scored. All five VHLwt models included in this study responded to the combination treatment, demonstrating significant improvement compared with monotherapy (representative growth curves are shown in Figures 33 and 34). Models were ranked based on tumor volume change compared to the starting baseline and scored for the number of partial responses (PRs). In this case, a PR was considered a volume regression of more than 50% compared to the starting baseline. Axitinib as monotherapy resulted in 1 / 15 PRs, whereas the combination of HC-5404 and axitinib resulted in 7 / 15 PRs (Figure 35). Importantly, while the VHLwt model retained its responsiveness to the combination treatment, three of these models appeared to have reduced sensitivity to axitinib. From this study, we conclude that HC-5404 improves tumor response to VEGFR-TKIs in various tumor contexts, and the effect is independent of VHL mutation status.

[0435] Example 12: HC-5404 demonstrates combination benefit with other agents that target angiogenesis without inducing tumor pPERK

[0561] Although a common target associated with antiangiogenic activity is inhibition of the VEGF axis, secondary targeting of VEGFR-TKIs may improve antitumor activity. To test whether inhibition of the VEGF / VEGFR axis was sufficient to drive the combination benefit with HC-5404 or whether a secondary effect was necessary, a murine monoclonal antibody selectively targeting VEGFR-2 was examined.

[0436]

[0562] DC-101 is a surrogate mAb for the human anti-VEGFR2 mAb ramucirumab and is approved for use in multiple cancer types. To determine whether treatment with HC-5404 could enhance the activity of DC-101, we tested DC-101 in three RCC models (786-O, A498, and Caki-1). Similar to observations with HC-5404 and multikinase-targeted TKIs, combination treatment significantly improved the efficacy of each monotherapy in 786-O and A498 xenografts, with TGI values ​​of 82% and 78%, respectively (Figure 37). In contrast, cotreatment of DC-101 with HC-5404 did not result in a significant combination benefit after 28 days of treatment in Caki-1, resulting in a TGI value of only 24% (Figure 37). Combination treatment did not result in tumor regression in any of the models tested.

[0437]

[0563] The effect of DC-101 on PERK activation was assessed in tumor samples excised after 4 days of treatment, and pPERK levels were determined by analyzing protein lysates. DC-101 did not affect pPERK levels in any of the three RCC models tested (Figure 37). In the 786-O and A498 models, pPERK was unchanged compared to the vehicle group, but HC-5404 inhibited pPERK signaling, as expected. In Caki1 samples, pPERK varied due to the low signal-to-noise data and was not affected by either DC-101 or HC-5404 treatment.

[0438] Example 13: PERK enhances the antiangiogenic effect of VEGFR-TKI

[0564] PERK is an adaptive stress response that links hypoxia and nutrient deprivation to proangiogenic signaling. We investigated the effect of HC-5404 on tumor vasculature when administered in combination with an antiangiogenic VEGFR-TKI. IHC staining of tumor cross sections confirmed that axitinib reduced the proportion of endothelial cells expressing Meca32 (also known as PLVAP), and the addition of HC-5404 enhanced this effect (Figures 38 and 39). Notably, HC-5404 alone had no effect on this endothelial marker, highlighting the context-dependent effects of HC-5404 on tumor angiogenesis.

[0439]

[0565] As immature vessels mature, they develop a layer of mural cells expressing smooth muscle actin (SMA), which surround and stabilize the maturing vessels. To determine whether treatment affects mature or immature tumor vessels, we performed co-staining for both CD31 and SMA. Similar to the effect observed with the endothelial marker Meca32, axitinib as a single agent reduced the proportion of immature CD31+SMA- vessels, while the combination treatment group enhanced it (Figure 39). In contrast, axitinib did not affect the number of mature CD31+SMA+ cells at the doses and time points analyzed, consistent with the central role of the VEGF axis in the generation of new vasculature through angiogenic sprouting. HC-5404 as a single agent did not affect the expression of either vascular marker, while combination treatment significantly reduced mature CD31+SMA+ vascular cells (Figure 39).

[0440] Example 14: PERK is a vulnerability of RCC xenografts that progressed during VEGFR-TKI treatment

[0566] Even if patients initially respond to VEGFR-TKI therapy, tumor regrowth necessitates subsequent rounds of therapy to improve patient outcomes. To model this effect, we challenged 786-O xenografts to progress during axitinib treatment and then added HC-5404 to axitinib treatment to see if the combination benefit could be maintained in this setting.

[0441]

[0567] The presence of a VEGFR-TKI during growth could drive increased sensitivity to PERK inhibitors. Tumors transitioning to the vehicle group showed an increased growth rate, suggesting that tumors had progressed during axitinib treatment but retained some sensitivity to treatment. Patients transitioning to single-agent axitinib or HC-5404 progressed at approximately the same rate as before re-randomization. By the end of the study, the single-agent activity of HC-5404 or axitinib inhibited tumor growth by 47% or 38% compared to vehicle (Figure 40). When HC-5404 was added to the axitinib regimen to create a combination group, xenografts continued to grow for a short period of time before shrinking in volume, resulting in a mean tumor regression of 20% compared to baseline (Figure 40). Thus, tumors that had already progressed during axitinib treatment retained sensitivity to HC-5404 when administered in combination with a VEGFR-TKI.

[0442]

[0568] Analysis of tumor vasculature revealed that both immature and mature blood vessels, including pericytes, were inhibited by the combination treatment. Consistent with previous findings, axitinib reduced the number of Meca32+ and CD31+ cells in xenograft sections, which was enhanced by the addition of HC-5404 in the combination group (Figures 41 and 42).

[0443]

[0569] Pericytes form the mural cell layer surrounding blood vessels and are important for vascular morphogenesis and branching. The effects of axitinib and HC-5404 on this layer were assessed using two pericyte markers (NG2 and MCAM). The proportion of NG2+ positively stained cells decreased only in the combination group compared to vehicle, highlighting the impact of the combination on this pericyte marker. MCAM+ cells were reduced by axitinib, an effect enhanced by the addition of HC-5404 (Figures 43 and 44). In both cases, the proportion of NG2+ and MCAM+ cells decreased relative to baseline samples, suggesting that, after re-randomization, tumors in the combination group experienced a loss of mature vascular cells rather than simply an inhibition of neovascularization. The combination of HC-5404 and axitinib inhibited tumor vasculature endothelial and pericyte markers.

[0444] Example 15: Adaptive stress drives resistance to VEGFR inhibitors

[0570] Antiangiogenic therapy increases tumor hypoxia, and tumor cells adapt to hypoxia by activating adaptive stress pathways, particularly PERK, which leads to cell survival.

[0445]

[0571] Following similar procedures as described in the above examples, 786-O RCC tumor xenografts were treated with cabozantinib (15, 30, 45 mg / kg; PO; QD), lenvatinib (5 and 10 mg / kg; PO; QD), and axitinib (15 and 30 mg / kg; PO; BID) for 21 days. VEGFR-TKIs were characterized in vivo and presented as tumor growth curves and pPERK / PERK levels, as shown in Figures 45, 46, and 47.

[0446] Example 16: HC-5404 enhances antiangiogenic agents in a 786-O RCC xenograft model

[0572] In this study, we investigated the inhibition of PERK-mediated stress adaptation using HC-5404, which was combined with a VEGRF-TKI to inhibit tumor growth in the 786-O xenograft RCC model.

[0447]

[0573] Following similar procedures as described in the above examples, 786-O tumor xenografts were treated with oral lenvatinib (10 mg / kg) once daily, oral HC-5404 (30 mg / kg) twice daily, or a combination thereof, and oral axitinib (30 mg / kg) twice daily, oral HC-5404 (30 mg / kg) twice daily, or a combination thereof. Tumor growth curves are shown in Figures 48 and 49. Following similar procedures as described in the above examples, A498 tumor xenografts were treated with oral sunitinib (20 mg / kg) once daily, oral HC-5404 (30 mg / kg) twice daily, or a combination thereof, and twice-weekly intraperitoneal injections of DC-101 (15 mg / kg), oral HC-5404 (30 mg / kg) twice daily, or a combination thereof. Tumor growth curves are shown in Figures 50 and 51.

[0448]

[0574] Following similar procedures as described in the previous examples, 786-O tumor xenografts were treated with twice-daily oral doses of 3, 10, or 30 mg / kg HC-5404, either as a single agent or in combination with a once-daily oral dose of 30 mg / kg cabozantinib. Tumor growth and body weight curves are shown in Figures 52 and 53. HC-5404 at 3, 10, and 30 mg / kg PO or BID demonstrated a dose-dependent trend toward antitumor efficacy, with maximal efficacy at 30 mg / kg (TGI% of approximately 61%), while cabozantinib monotherapy resulted in tumor stagnation and only 2 / 8 PRs in this model. Combination treatment with 10 and 30 mg / kg HC-5404 significantly improved the efficacy of cabozantinib alone, demonstrating similar efficacy with 8 / 8 PRs in each group and a mean tumor regression of approximately 66%. No treatment-related weight loss was observed. Treatment with HC-5404 or cabozantinib, either as monotherapy or in combination, did not affect the body weight of the mice, suggesting that the treatments were well tolerated.

[0449] Example 17: Cabozantinib inhibits the formation of new tumor vasculature and destroys pericytes

[0575] In this example, the inhibitory effect of cabozantinib on the formation of new tumor vasculature and pericytes was investigated following a similar procedure as described above.

[0450]

[0576] Cabozantinib induced a near-complete loss of immature vasculature (CD31+SMA- cells). HC-5404 reduced mature CD31+SMA+ vascular cells, a trend seen only in the presence of cabozantinib. Neovascularization is highly dependent on VEGF signaling. IHC staining images are shown in Figure 54, and quantification of IHC staining is shown in Figure 55.

[0451]

[0577] Pericytes are a stabilizing cell layer and are associated only with mature blood vessels. The combination of HC-5404 and cabozantinib reduced pericyte markers NG2 and MCAM. Statistical comparisons only showed significant differences between the vehicle and treatment groups. A trend toward MCAM was observed for the cabozantinib + HC-5404 group. IHC staining images are shown in Figure 56, and quantification of IHC staining is shown in Figure 57.

[0452] Example 18: Triple drug combination induces anti-tumor immune responses

[0578] In this example, we investigated the efficacy of tumor treatment with a combination of HC-5404, an antiangiogenic agent, and immunotherapy, following a similar procedure as described above. In RENCA tumor-bearing BALB / c mice, HC-5404 showed improved efficacy in combination with axitinib and an anti-PD-1 antibody.

[0453]

[0579] Mice were inoculated subcutaneously with syngeneic RENCA RCC tumor cells. Six days after cell inoculation, mice were randomized to achieve equivalent starting tumor size and then initiated the indicated treatment. Tumor volume (Figure 58) and body weight (Figure 59) were monitored over time and are shown. PO = oral gavage; IV = intravenous; BID = twice daily; BIW = twice week...
