Abstract
Description
[Technical Field]
[0001] (CROSS-REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATIONS) This application claims the benefit of U.S. Provisional Patent Application No. 63 / 380,357, filed October 20, 2022, which is incorporated herein by reference in its entirety. [Background technology]
[0002] Ectonucleotides catalyze the conversion of ATP to adenosine, an endogenous regulator affecting multiple systems, including the immune, cardiovascular, central nervous, and respiratory systems. Adenosine also promotes fibrosis in various tissues. In the first step of adenosine production, ectonucleoside triphosphate diphosphohydrolase 1 (ENTPD1), also known as CD39 (cluster of differentiation 39), hydrolyzes ATP to ADP, which then hydrolyzes ADP to AMP. In the next step, AMP is converted to adenosine by ecto-5'-nucleotidase (NT5E or 5NT), also known as CD73 (cluster of differentiation 73).
[0003] The enzymatic activities of CD39 and CD73 play strategic roles in calibrating the duration, magnitude, and chemical nature of purinergic signals delivered to various cells (e.g., immune cells). Alterations in these enzyme activities may alter the course or determine the prognosis of several pathophysiological events, including cancer, autoimmune diseases, infections, atherosclerosis, and ischemia-reperfusion injury, suggesting that these ectoenzymes represent novel therapeutic targets for the management of various disorders.
[0004] For example, CD73 inhibitors in clinical development have been antibodies, although the development of small molecules has been hindered by less than ideal metabolic and physical stability and the lack of availability of suitable formulations that can effectively deliver the drug.
[0005] Given the role that CD73 plays in cancer and a wide variety of other diseases, disorders, and conditions, and the current lack of effective small molecule formulations of CD73 inhibitors available to physicians, there is a need for such compositions and related methods. Summary of the Invention
[0006] In one aspect, provided herein is a compound of formula (I): [ka] or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof, and one or more amino acids, wherein W, X, Y, Z, R a , R c , and each R g is as defined herein. Also provided are methods of preparation, methods of use, and dosage forms, as described in detail below.
[0007] In one particular aspect, the present disclosure provides a lyophilized formulation of a compound having formula (Ia). [ka]
[0008] The present disclosure also provides aqueous solutions (e.g., pre-lyophilized or reconstituted lyophilized formulations) comprising a compound of Formula (I) or (Ia), one or more amino acids, a pH adjuster, and, in some embodiments, a bulking agent. The present disclosure also relates to the use of the reconstituted lyophilized formulations for the treatment and / or prevention of various diseases, disorders, and conditions mediated, in whole or in part, by CD73. CD73 inhibitors have been implicated in the treatment of various disorders, including cancer, fibrosis, neurological and neurodegenerative disorders (e.g., depression and Parkinson's disease), cerebral and cardiac ischemic diseases, immune-related disorders, and disorders with an inflammatory component. See, e.g., Sorrentino et al. (2013) OncoImmunol, 2:e22448, doi:10.4161 / onci.22448; and Regateiro et al. (2012) Clin. Exp. Immunol, 171:1-7. In certain embodiments, the formulations described herein are capable of inhibiting the immunosuppressive and / or anti-inflammatory activity of CD73 and are useful as therapeutic or prophylactic therapies where such inhibition is desired. Unless otherwise indicated, when use refers to the compounds described herein, it should be understood that such compounds can be in any solid form (crystalline, amorphous, or mixtures thereof) or non-solid form.
[0009] In some embodiments, the present disclosure contemplates a method for treating or preventing cancer in a subject (e.g., a human), comprising administering to the subject a therapeutically effective amount of a compound of Formula (I) or (Ia) (e.g., as a reconstituted lyophilized formulation comprising a compound of Formula (I) or (Ia) described herein). The present disclosure includes methods of treating or preventing cancer in a subject by administering to the subject a compound of Formula (I) or (Ia) (e.g., as a reconstituted lyophilized formulation described herein) in an amount effective to reverse, halt, or slow the progression of CD73-mediated immunosuppression.
[0010] The present disclosure further contemplates the use of a compound of Formula (I) or (Ia) described herein in combination with one or more additional agents. The one or more additional agents may have some CD73-modulating activity and / or they may function through separate mechanisms of action. In some embodiments, such agents include radiation (e.g., local or systemic radiation therapy) and / or other therapeutic modalities of a non-pharmacological nature (e.g., surgical resection). In yet other embodiments, when combination therapy is utilized, a reconstituted lyophilized formulation comprising a compound of Formula (I) or (Ia) described herein and one or more additional agents may be in the form of a single composition or multiple compositions, and the therapeutic modalities may be administered simultaneously, sequentially, or through some other regimen. As an example, the present disclosure contemplates a treatment regimen in which a radiation phase is followed by a chemotherapy phase, or in which treatment with a compound of Formula (I) or (Ia) over a period of time allows for subsequent surgical resection. The combination therapy may have additive or synergistic effects. Other advantages of combination therapy are described below. [Brief explanation of the drawings]

[0045] The terms "prevent," "preventing," "prevention," and the like generally refer to a course of action (e.g., administering a CD73 inhibitor or a pharmaceutical composition comprising same) initiated in a manner (e.g., prior to the onset of the disease, disorder, condition, or symptoms thereof) that prevents, suppresses, inhibits, or reduces, either temporarily or permanently, the risk (e.g., as determined by the absence of clinical symptoms) of a subject developing or delaying the onset of a disease, disorder, condition, or the like in situations where the subject is predisposed to having a particular disease, disorder, or condition. In certain instances, these terms also refer to slowing the progression of a disease, disorder, or condition, or inhibiting its progression to a harmful or otherwise undesirable state. Prevention also refers to a course of action initiated in a subject after the subject has been treated for a disease, disorder, condition, or symptom, in order to prevent the recurrence of the disease, disorder, condition, or symptom.
[0046] As used herein, the term "in need of prophylaxis" refers to a judgment made by a physician or other caregiver that a subject needs or would benefit from prophylactic measures. This judgment is made based on a variety of factors within the physician's or caregiver's expertise.
[0047] The phrase "therapeutically effective amount" refers to a dosing regimen (i.e., amount and interval) of a compound that provides a particular pharmacological effect upon administration of the compound to a subject in need of such treatment. For treatment, a therapeutically effective amount may be effective to reduce, ameliorate, or eliminate one or more signs or symptoms associated with the disease, delay progression of the disease, prolong survival, reduce the dose of other medications required to treat the disease, or a combination thereof. With particular reference to cancer, a therapeutically effective amount may, for example, result in cancer cell death, reduce cancer cell numbers, reduce tumor burden, eliminate tumors or metastases, or reduce metastatic spread. A therapeutically effective amount may vary based on, for example, one or more of the subject's age and weight, the subject's overall health, the stage of the subject's disease, the route of administration, and previous or concurrent treatments. With respect to CD73 inhibitors of the present disclosure, an "effective amount" refers to an amount of compound sufficient to bind to the target (e.g., by inhibiting the target) at a level that exhibits the compound's efficacy. Target engagement can be determined by one or more biochemical or cellular assays that yield an EC50, ED50, EC90, IC50 or similar value, which can be used as an estimate of a compound's potency.
[0048] The phrases "lyophilized formulation" and "lyophilisate" are used interchangeably and refer to compositions formed by lyophilization; such formulations are further described herein.
[0049] The phrases "reconstituted lyophilized formulation" and "reconstituted formulation" and "reconstituted solution" and "reconstituted aqueous solution" and "reconstituted pharmaceutical composition" are used interchangeably and refer to the composition formed when a lyophilized formulation according to the present disclosure is reconstituted with a diluent.
[0050] "Substantially pure" indicates that a component comprises greater than about 50% of the total content of the composition, typically greater than about 60% of the total content. More typically, "substantially pure" refers to a composition in which the component of interest comprises at least 75%, at least 85%, at least 90%, or more of the total composition. In some cases, the component of interest will comprise greater than about 90%, or greater than about 95% of the total content of the composition.

[0068] The pre-lyophilized compositions and lyophilized formulations described herein also contain one or more amino acids. The presence of one or more amino acids in compositions according to the present disclosure improves the physical stability of the reconstituted lyophilized formulation. Without wishing to be bound by theory, the amphipathic nature of the compounds described herein (i.e., compounds of Formula (I) and Formula (Ia)) results in a tendency for reconstituted solutions to undergo physical changes due to molecular aggregation. Thus, the presence of one or more amino acids disrupts aggregation and provides the reconstituted composition with improved physical stability compared to one lacking one or more amino acids. The amino acids are generally provided as an aqueous solution. In some embodiments, the amino acid is a basic amino acid. In yet other embodiments, the amino acid is selected from arginine, histidine, lysine, tryptophan, cysteine, or a combination thereof.

[0069] The pre-lyophilized compositions and lyophilized formulations described herein also utilize a pH adjuster. The pH adjuster may be a weak acid, such as, by way of non-limiting example, acetic acid, citric acid, hydrochloric acid, propionic acid, tartaric acid, fumaric acid, lactic acid, phosphoric acid, and malic acid. In one embodiment, the pH adjuster is phosphoric acid. Generally, the pH adjuster is provided as an aqueous solution.

Id. Bulking Agent
[0070] In one or more embodiments, the pre-lyophilization compositions, lyophilized formulations, and aqueous solutions described herein contain a bulking agent. Bulking agents form the majority of the lyophilized formulation and provide proper structure to the lyophilized cake. Bulking agents can be used for low-dose (or low-concentration) drugs that do not have the bulk necessary to support their own structure. The structure of the lyophilized cake is important because proper cake formation results in proper pore formation, which provides a means for vapor to escape from the formulation during the drying cycle. Exemplary bulking agents include, but are not limited to, mannitol, glycine, hydroxypropyl-beta-cyclodextrin (HPBCD) (i.e., kleptose), dextran, sucrose, lactose, trehalose, sorbitol, glucose, raffinose, and the like, and are utilized in the pre-lyophilization composition to provide structure to the lyophilized cake and prevent cake collapse. In some embodiments, the bulking agent in compositions and formulations according to the present disclosure is mannitol, glycine, hydroxypropyl-beta-cyclodextrin (HPBCD), or dextran. In one embodiment, the bulking agent in compositions and formulations according to the present disclosure is glycine. In one embodiment, the bulking agent in compositions and formulations according to the present disclosure is mannitol. 1e. Vial Selection
[0071] Some embodiments provide a vial containing a lyophilized formulation described herein or an aqueous formulation described herein.
[0072] In one or more embodiments, the vial used to lyophilize the pre-lyophilized formulation is a clear glass vial (USP Type 1). In one or more embodiments, the vial used to lyophilize the pre-lyophilized formulation is characterized by a hydrophobic coating on its inner surface. Thus, in some embodiments, the vial includes an inner surface in contact with a hydrophobic coating. Exemplary vials include SCHOTT TopLyo® vials or those described in U.S. Pat. No. 8,592,015, incorporated herein by reference. The presence of a hydrophobic coating reduces adhesion of compositions and / or formulations according to the present disclosure to the sides of the vial, contributing to the formation of a lyophilized cake that is free of cracks, brittleness, and / or shrinkage. Reduced adhesion of compositions and / or formulations according to the present disclosure to the sides of the vial allows for ease of reconstitution, contributing to consistent and accurate dosing of compounds according to the present disclosure.
[0073] The hydrophobic coating may be applied to the interior surface of the vial using methods known to those skilled in the art, for example, physical or chemical vapor deposition methods (including, for example, plasma-assisted chemical vapor deposition). In some embodiments, the hydrophobic coating on the interior surface of the vial comprises silicon (Si), oxygen (O), carbon (C), and hydrogen (H). In some embodiments, the hydrophobic coating is characterized by a low Si content. In some embodiments, the hydrophobic coating is characterized by a ratio of oxygen content to silicon content of 1.2 or less. In some embodiments, the ratio of O to Si is 1.2 or less. In some embodiments, the hydrophobic coating has the formula SiO x C y H z where x is 0.0 to 1.2, y is 0.0 to 6.0, and z is 0.0 to 6.0. In some embodiments, the hydrophobic coating comprises a compound having the formula SiO x C y H zwhere x is 0.6 to 0.9, y is 1.2 to 3.3, and z is 0.0 to 6.0. In some embodiments, the hydrophobic coating comprises a compound having the formula SiO x C y H z wherein x is 0.7 to 0.8, y is 1.5 to 2.5, and z is 0.0 to 6.0. In some embodiments, the hydrophobic coating is essentially fluorine-free. The composition of the hydrophobic coating can be determined using methods known to those skilled in the art, such as, for example, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS).
[0074] The hydrophobicity of a coating can be determined, for example, by measuring the contact angle of a water droplet on the surface of the coating to determine the water contact angle. In some embodiments, the coated vial (i.e., the hydrophobic coating) is characterized by a water contact angle of 90° or greater. In some embodiments, the coated vial is characterized by a water contact angle of about 90° to 120°, e.g., a contact angle of 90°, 95°, 100°, 105°, 110°, 115°, or 120°. II. Freeze-Drying Procedure
[0075] The process of freeze-drying involves three major steps: (1) freezing, (2) primary drying, and (3) secondary drying.
[0076] The freezing step ensures that the pre-lyophilization composition reaches a solid phase, forming a frozen pre-lyophilization composition. Freezing is achieved by lowering the temperature and maintaining it for a predetermined period of time. The material must be frozen by cooling to a temperature below the lowest melting point of all components present in the pre-lyophilization composition (including, for example, a eutectic melting point that is lower than the melting point of any of the individual components) to ensure that subsequent heating of the frozen material under vacuum or low pressure will result in sublimation rather than melting. Cooling the mixture to a temperature below the lowest temperature at which the solid and liquid phases of the material can coexist (e.g., the eutectic point) ensures that sublimation rather than melting will occur in the next step.
[0077] In some embodiments, the pre-lyophilized composition is cooled to a temperature below 0° C. In some embodiments, the pre-lyophilized composition is cooled to a temperature of −50° C. or less. In some embodiments, the pre-lyophilized composition is cooled to a temperature of −40° C. to −50° C. In some embodiments, the pre-lyophilized composition is cooled to a temperature of about −45° C. In some embodiments, the pre-lyophilized composition is cooled for 10 hours or less. In some embodiments, the pre-lyophilized composition is cooled for 9 hours or less, 8 hours or less, 7 hours or less, 6 hours or less, 5 hours or less, 4 hours or less, 3 hours or less, 2 hours or less, 1 hour or less, or 30 minutes or less.
[0078] There are many suitable methods for freezing, each of which is encompassed within this disclosure. Suitable freezing methods include, but are not limited to, refrigeration, placement in an ice bath (e.g., a bath of ice or dry ice with a salt or organic solvent, or a combination thereof, e.g., dry ice with methanol or ethanol), and placement in a liquid nitrogen bath.
[0079] After freezing, the primary drying step involves reducing the pressure to induce sublimation of the frozen water in the pre-lyophilized composition. Typically, most of the water is removed during this primary drying step.
[0080] Typically, a vacuum pump is used to reduce the pressure. Because vapor pressure on ice is a function of temperature, the desired pressure can vary based on the temperature of the primary drying step. In some embodiments, the pressure in the primary drying step is reduced to less than the vapor pressure of ice at the target temperature (i.e., the temperature of the primary drying step). For example, the vapor pressure of ice at -26°C is approximately 429 mTorr. In the described embodiment, the pressure in the primary drying step is less than 429 mTorr. In some embodiments, the pressure in the primary drying step is 20% to 70% of the vapor pressure of ice at the target temperature (i.e., the temperature of the primary drying step). Again using -26°C as an exemplary temperature, 20% to 30% of the vapor pressure is approximately 85.8 to 300 mTorr. In some embodiments, the pressure in the primary drying step is 20% to 30% of the vapor pressure of ice at the target temperature (i.e., the temperature of the primary drying step). Referring again to −26° C. as an exemplary temperature, 20% to 30% of the vapor pressure is approximately 85.8 to 128 mTorr. Vapor pressure over ice is commonly known and can be estimated by one of ordinary skill in the art. Exemplary vapor pressures at a given temperature include: 0° C., approximately 4,584 mTorr; −10° C., approximately 1,949 mTorr; −20° C., approximately 774 mTorr; −30° C., approximately 285 mTorr; −40° C., approximately 96 mTorr; or −50° C., approximately 30 mTorr.
[0081] The primary drying step can be carried out at ambient, sub-ambient, or super-ambient temperatures. For example, in some embodiments, the primary drying step is carried out at a temperature of 40° C. or less, 30° C. or less, 20° C. or less, 10° C. or less, or 0° C. or less.
[0082] The primary drying stage lasts for any suitable period of time. In some embodiments, the primary drying stage lasts for at least 30 minutes, 1 hour, 2 hours, 3 hours, 4 hours, 5 hours, 6 hours, 7 hours, 8 hours, 9 hours, 10 hours, or more. In some embodiments, the primary drying stage occurs overnight. In some embodiments, the primary drying temperature is -25°C and is warmed to 25°C over about 3 hours.
[0083] Following the primary drying step, further drying (secondary drying step) is performed by increasing the temperature above that used in the primary drying step. Most of the free water is removed during the primary drying step, leaving most of the water bound to the components of the formulation. Thus, the secondary drying step removes not only the water that condensed or migrated from its original location during the primary drying step, but also additional moisture. Because most of the free water has already been removed, the temperature of the secondary drying step can be increased without melting the composition.
[0084] In some embodiments, the secondary drying step is carried out at a temperature ranging from -10°C to 50°C, 0°C to 40°C, 10°C to 30°C, or 20°C to 25°C.
[0085] Typically, low pressure is also used in this stage. Typically, the reduced pressure from the primary drying stage is maintained, although various lower pressures are preferred during this process to promote sublimation.
[0086] The rate of moisture removal during the secondary drying step is a function of temperature, and lower pressures typically do not increase the drying rate. In some embodiments, the secondary drying step is at least 30 minutes, 1 hour, 2 hours, 3 hours, 4 hours, 5 hours, 6 hours, 7 hours, 8 hours, 9 hours, 10 hours, or more. In some embodiments, the secondary drying step is carried out overnight.
[0087] In some embodiments, the secondary drying step can include drying in the presence of an inert gas (e.g., nitrogen) or a combination of inert gases. For example, the lyophilization vessel and / or vial reservoir can be purged with an inert gas and capped to avoid exposure of the formulation to air.
[0088] The lyophilized compositions described herein can have a moisture content of, for example, less than 20% after one or more drying steps. In some examples, the moisture content of the lyophilized compositions described herein is less than 15%, less than 10%, less than 5%, less than 4%, less than 3%, less than 2%, less than 1%, less than 0.5%, or less than 0.1%.

[0214] Example 1: Preparation of pre-lyophilized formulation The compound of formula (Ia), L-arginine, and phosphoric acid were added to sterile water and mixed until dissolved. The bulk solution was transferred to a clean room and sterile filtered through a 0.22 micron pore size filter into a sterile container. Each sterile glass vial was filled to the lyophilization depth. The vials were lyophilized according to the cycle in Table 1. The lyophilization chamber and vials were purged with nitrogen, and the vials were stoppered. The vials were removed from the lyophilization chamber, and a flip-off seal was placed on each vial and the seal was crimped. The vials were inspected for visual defects. [Table 1] Example 2: Comparison of chemical and physical stability of formulations
[0215] The compound of formula (Ia) and various excipients were evaluated for chemical and physical compatibility and stability. Based on the results of these studies, three prototype formulations were selected for further evaluation of manufacturability and stability. The compositions of these prototypes are shown in Table 2. The formulations were evaluated for: Clarity, content and purity of the solution before freeze-drying for up to 5 days at 5°C. · Clarity, content, and purity of solutions reconstituted with either normal saline or sterile water for injection. Stability of reconstituted solution at 5°C and 40°C for up to 5 days.
[0216] The results of these studies are shown in the table below. It was noted that the formulations containing amino acids exhibited better physical stability as evidenced by the clarity scores of both the pre-lyophilized and reconstituted solutions. [Table 2] a 2.2 equivalents of sodium hydroxide b 4.5 equivalents of L-arginine and 1.2 equivalents of phosphate c 1 equivalent of L-arginine and 3 equivalents of L-histidine [Table 3] PreLyo=pre-lyophilization, Recon=reconstitution, SWFI=sterile water for injection. 25 mg / mL (41.3 mM) solution of formula (Ia). Visual clarity score: 0 = clear, 6 = significantly cloudy with particulate precipitate. HPLC method: Column: Agilent Zorbax Eclipse Plus C18; 4.6 x 100 mm, 3.5 μm; Lot No. B17287 Detection wavelength: 254 nm Column temperature: 30±2℃ Flow rate: 1.0mL / min Sample diluent: 20 mM potassium phosphate buffer pH 8.2, 25 μM EDTA Sample temperature: 20℃ Mobile phase A, MPA: 20 mM potassium phosphate buffer pH 8.2, 25 μM EDTA Mobile phase B, MPB: 100% acetonitrile Mobile phase gradient: [Table 11] [Table 4] Recon = reconstituted solution, SWFI = sterile water for injection. The sample was reconstituted to a theoretical concentration of 25 mg / mL. Example 3: Lyophilization of formulations containing bulking agents
[0217] Formulations containing the compound of Formula (Ia), arginine, phosphate, and various cosolutes (i.e., bulking agents) were evaluated for lyophilized cake appearance, reconstitution parameters, and reconstituted solution stability. The vial configurations of the pre-lyophilized formulations are summarized in Table 5 below. [Table 5]
[0218] The formulations were lyophilized according to the lyophilization cycles summarized for various cosolutes in Table 6 below. Both the primary and secondary drying steps of the lyophilization cycle were performed under vacuum. Typical drying times for the primary and secondary drying stages were approximately 36-40 hours and 7-10 hours, respectively. [Table 6]
[0219] The reconstitution time and stability of the reconstituted solutions were evaluated. The reconstitution time, solution pH, and osmolality for the various formulations are summarized in Table 7 below. [Table 7] Fill volume corresponds to the volume of solvent added before lyophilization. SWFI load corresponds to the volume of SWFI added for reconstitution. Recon = reconstitution, SWFI = sterile water for injection.
[0220] Compared to the lyophilisates without bulking agents, all lyophilisates with bulking agents showed less cracking, brittleness and shrinkage.
[0221] The type of vial used to lyophilize the formulation was also observed to affect the appearance of the resulting cake: Lyophilizates made using SCHOTT TopLyo® vials produced intact cakes without fractures when mannitol, kleptose, and dextran 40 were used as bulking agents.
[0222] All lyophilizates tested were rapidly reconstituted to form clear solutions.
[0223] The stability of selected reconstituted solutions was assessed by high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) for solutions stored at 40° C. and 75% relative humidity (RH) for 2 and 4 weeks, and for solutions stored at −20° C. for 2 weeks. The results are summarized in Table 8 below. HPLC method
[0224] Column: Waters Xbridge Shield RP18; 4.6 × 150 mm, 3.5 μm, detection wavelength: 305 nm; column temperature: 30 ± 2 °C; injection volume: 5 μL; flow rate: 1.0 mL / min; run time: 50 min; sample diluent: 20 mM potassium phosphate buffer pH 10.0 ± 0.05; retention time: approximately 13 min; sample temperature: 5.0 ± 1 °C; needle wash: acetonitrile:water (50:50); mobile phase A (MPA): 10% acetonitrile: 90% 20 mM potassium phosphate buffer pH 10.0 ± 0.05; mobile phase B (MPB): 65% acetonitrile: 35% 20 mM potassium phosphate, pH 10.0 ± 0.05. Mobile phase gradient: [Table 12] [Table 8]
[0225] All formulations demonstrated chemical stability and had similar impurity profiles, as determined by HPLC, when stored at -20°C for 2 weeks and at 40°C and 75% RH for 4 weeks. All solutions tested were also physically stable and remained clear throughout the study. Example 4: Exemplary Protocol for Preparation of Bulk Quantities of Lyophilized Formulations According to the Present Disclosure
[0226] The components of the lyophilized formulation are summarized below in Table 9. The process for bulk lyophilization is described in Figure 1. The parameters of the lyophilization process are summarized below in Table 10. [Table 9] [Table 10] Example 5: Phase 2 study to evaluate a dimvelelimab-based combination in participants with advanced non-small cell lung cancer.
[0227] A phase 2, open-label platform trial will investigate the safety and efficacy of gimvelelimab compared with other investigational agents in participants with non-small cell lung cancer. Substudy A will enroll treatment-naïve patients with metastatic NSCLC who have high PD-L1 levels and no actionable genomic aberrations. Substudy B will enroll treatment-naïve patients with metastatic NSCLC who have no actionable genomic aberrations but are not limited by PD-L1 status. High PD-L1 status can be assessed by a tumor proportion score (TPS) of ≥ 50% by PharmDx 22C3 (Dako) or tumor cells (TC) of ≥ 50% by SP263 (Ventana). Substudy C will enroll patients with metastatic NSCLC who have documented disease progression on anti-PD-L1 and platinum-based chemotherapy in one or two prior lines of therapy and no known actionable genomic aberrations. Group A1: gimvelerimab 360 mg Q3W + domvanalimab 5 mg / kg Q3W, Group A2: gimvelerimab 360 mg Q3W + domvanalimab 15 mg / kg Q3W, Group A3: gimvelerimab 480 mg Q4W + domvanalimab 1600 mg Q4W + quemliclustat 100 mg Q2W, Group B1: gimvelerimab 360 mg Q3W + quemliclustat 50 mg QW + platinum-based chemotherapy, Group B2: gimvelerimab 360 mg Q3W + domvanalimab 1200 mg Q3W + platinum-based chemotherapy, Group B3: gimvelerimab 360 mg Q3W + domvanalimab 1200 mg Q3W + quemliclustat 50 mg QW + platinum-based chemotherapy, Arm C1: dimvelelimab 360mg Q3W + domvanalimab 1200mg Q3W + docetaxel, Arm C2: dimvelelimab 360mg Q3W + quemliclustat 300mg Q3W + docetaxel. Primary endpoints include objective response rate, safety, and tolerability. Secondary endpoints include progression-free survival, duration of response, overall survival, and PK. Example 5-1: Q3W administration of compound of formula (Ia)
[0228] In the above study, formulations according to the present disclosure may be administered at 300 mg 3QW. Preliminary population PK / PD modeling suggests that substantially higher doses are required when extending the dosing interval to maintain a steady-state Ctrough (Ctrough,ss) comparable to 50 mg QW or 100 mg Q2W. The 300 mg Q3W dose level may result in a median steady-state Ctrough comparable to 50 mg QW and 100 mg Q2W to achieve ≥ 90% inhibition of CD73 enzyme activity in the majority of participants. Figure 2 shows predicted population PK / PD following administration of 50 mg QW, 100 mg Q2W, or 300 mg Q3W. Simulations were based on a population pharmacokinetic / pharmacodynamic model developed using pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic data collected from multiple clinical trials.
