Detailed Description of the Invention
[0001] This application claims priority to Chinese Patent Application No. 2022117029124, filed on December 28, 2022, and Chinese Patent Application No. 2023104407001, filed on April 21, 2023. This application cites the above Chinese patent applications in their entirety.
[0002] [Technical field] The present invention is in the field of medicine, and specifically relates to pharmaceutical combinations and uses thereof.
[0003] [Background technology] Currently, tumors remain a major public health problem worldwide. As our understanding of tumor biology improves, the biological characteristics of tumors, such as acquisition of signals to maintain proliferation, evasion of growth inhibitor regulation, continuous activation of replication checkpoints, reprogramming of cellular metabolism, and activation of invasion and metastasis, have gradually been analyzed. Taking these biological characteristics of tumors into consideration, traditional chemotherapy, radiation therapy, and targeted drug therapy have achieved excellent clinical therapeutic effects in the treatment of various types of tumors.
[0004] The immune checkpoint receptor 1 (PD-1) is a transmembrane protein expressed on the surface of T cells, while the ligand for PD-1, programmed death-ligand 1 (PD-L1), is expressed on the surface of tumor cells, APCs, and T cells. When PD-L1 binds to PD-1, it inhibits the downstream signaling pathway of TCR activation, thereby reducing T cell responses. Antibodies targeting these immune checkpoints, unlike conventional tumor treatments, play a role in tumor suppression by enhancing the body's own immune system. Currently, antibodies targeting PD-1 and PD-L1, such as nivolumab, atezolizumab, pembrolizumab, durvalumab, and toripalimab, have already achieved good results in immunotherapy for various malignancies.
[0005] Developed by Junshi Biosciences, toripalimab is the first monoclonal antibody drug targeting PD-1 to be approved for sale in China, and is approved for a variety of indications, including melanoma, nasopharyngeal carcinoma, urothelial carcinoma, and esophageal squamous cell carcinoma. Although toripalimab has achieved good results in the treatment of certain malignancies, its efficacy needs to be further improved.

[0057] [Mode for Carrying Out the Invention] The present invention will be further described below in the form of examples, but the present invention is not limited to the scope of the examples. In the following examples, experimental methods for which specific conditions are not described are selected according to conventional methods and conditions or product instructions.
[0058] Example 1: Antitumor effect of the combination of Compound I and toripalimab on subcutaneously transplanted tumors of mouse colon cancer cell CT26 1.1 Experimental conditions BALB / c-hPD1 mice, female, 6.9 weeks old (age at the time of inoculation) were provided by Jiangsu GemPharmatech Co., Ltd.
[0059] Toripalimab was provided by Shanghai Junshi Biosciences Co., Ltd.
[0060] Compound I:
[0061] [ka]
[0062] 1.2 Experimental model BALB / c-hPD1 mice were subcutaneously inoculated with CT26 cells, which were provided by Jiangsu GemPharmatech Co., Ltd.
[0063] 1.3 Cell culture Mycoplasma testing for CT26 cells was negative, and the resuscitation passage was Pn+8. Mouse colon carcinoma CT26 cells were cultured in monolayers in RPMI 1640 medium supplemented with 10% (v / v) fetal bovine serum, 100 U / mL penicillin, and 100 μg / mL streptomycin at 37°C, 5% CO2, and 95% relative humidity. Depending on the cell density, they were trypsinized and passaged. Cells were digested and inoculated when in the logarithmic growth phase.
[0064] 1.4 Tumor inoculation CT26 cells in the logarithmic growth phase (inoculation passage number Pn+11) were harvested, the culture medium was removed, and the cells were washed twice with DPBS. The inoculation amount was 5 x 10 5 The cells were inoculated at 100 μL per mouse (the cell viability before and after tumor bearing was 94.31% and 91.43%, respectively).
[0065] 1.5 Group Division The tumor volume was 80.15 mm 3 When the tumor volume reached 100 mg / kg, the mice were randomly divided into groups according to the tumor volume as shown in Table 1 below. The day of grouping was defined as D0.
[0066] [Table 1]
[0067] Note: 1) The vehicle control group was physiological saline.
[0068] 2)a. The solvent used was saline.
[0069] 3)b, the medium used was 1% DMSO + 99% (1% methylcellulose).
[0070] 1.6 Administration Administration began on D0, with a volume of 10 μL / g × mouse body weight (g), and the administration protocol was as shown in Table 1. In the combined administration group, each drug was administered alone at double the drug volume without changing the drug concentration. The administration order was consistent for each administration.
[0071] 1.7 Observation In the early stages, tumors in mice were measured twice a week, and body weights were also measured twice a week. In the later stages, tumor growth was accelerated, so the observation frequency was adjusted to three times a week. After 40 days of observation, tumor growth curves (shown in Figure 1) were obtained and analyzed.
[0072] 1.8 Experimental results The tumor growth status obtained after 40 days is shown in Table 2 below.
[0073] [Table 2]
[0074] Note: "-" means no test data available.
[0075] Statistical analysis of D22 tumor volume data showed that the toripalimab group (TGI TV = 62.16%, tumor growth inhibition rate = 1 - tumor weight of experimental group / tumor weight of control group), Compound I group (TGI TV =84.57%), Toripalimab and Compound I combination group (TGI TV The tumor volume of the toripalimab and compound I combination group (TGI 1) was significantly different from that of the vehicle control group (P<0.05 or P<0.01). Statistical analysis of the D31 tumor volume data showed that the tumor volume of the toripalimab and compound I combination group (TGI 1) was significantly different from that of the vehicle control group (P<0.05 or P<0.01). TV =94.63%), toripalimab single agent group (TGI TV =24.42%), Compound I single drug group (TGI TV There was a significant difference in tumor volume between the two groups (83.37%) (P<0.05). Statistical analysis of the tumor volume data on day 40 revealed a significant difference in tumor volume between the Compound I and toripalimab combination group and the Compound I alone group (P<0.05).
[0076] In summary, the results of this experiment showed that in a subcutaneously implanted tumor model of mouse colon cancer cell CT26, toripalimab alone, compound I alone, and the combination of compound I and toripalimab all exhibited tumor-inhibitory effects compared to the control group (saline), but the combination of compound I and toripalimab exhibited superior tumor-inhibitory effects compared to toripalimab alone or compound I alone.
