Description

[Technical Field]

[0001] The present invention relates to optically active azabicyclo derivatives useful as pharmaceuticals, pharmaceutically acceptable salts thereof, and suitable methods, dosages and uses of pharmaceutical compositions containing them. [Background technology]

[0002] MLL leukemia accounts for approximately 6-7% of acute myeloid leukemia (AML) and acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL), with approximately 1,100 new cases diagnosed annually in the U.S. It has been reported that the main fusion partner genes that cause MLL leukemia are AF9, ELL, ENL, AF10, and AF6 in AML, and AF4, ENL, and AF9 in ALL (Non-Patent Document 1).

[0003] It is speculated that MLL fusion proteins fused with fusion partner genes in this way induce unlimited proliferation of undifferentiated hematopoietic cells, leading to leukemia (Non-Patent Document 2). It has been reported that MLL fusion proteins first bind to menin to form a complex. Therefore, it is expected that cancer caused by MLL fusion proteins can be prevented by inhibiting the first step, the binding between MLL fusion proteins and menin (Non-Patent Document 3).

[0004] It has been reported that MLL acts as a coactivator of androgen signaling in prostate cancer, and therefore, small molecule inhibitors targeting the binding between menin and MLL fusion proteins are expected to be useful as therapeutic agents for this cancer (Non-Patent Document 4). It has been reported that menin acts as a coactivator of estrogen signaling in breast cancer, and therefore, small molecule inhibitors targeting the binding between menin and MLL fusion proteins are expected to be useful as therapeutic agents for this cancer (Non-Patent Document 5). It has been reported that menin or MLL is important for tumor growth in Ewing's sarcoma, liver cancer, and p53 gain-of-function mutant cancers, and small molecule inhibitors that target the binding between menin and MLL fusion proteins are expected to be useful as therapeutic agents for these cancers (Non-patent document 6).

[0005] Recently, an optically active azabicyclo derivative that targets inhibition of the binding between menin and MLL fusion protein was reported in Patent Document 1. [Prior art documents] [Patent documents]

[0229] Formulation A or Formulation B described above can be used in the following examples. [Example]

[0230] The present invention will be explained in more detail below with reference to examples, but the technical scope of the present invention is not limited to these examples. In the following examples, the tartrate salt of the present compound is used as the active ingredient, and all doses (mg) shown in (1) study design considerations, (2) subject enrollment, and Examples 1 to 13 are doses (mg) converted to the free form. For example, "20 mg" means 20 mg of the compound of the present invention (free form), and the weight of the tartrate salt of the present compound used in this case is 25 mg.

[0231] (1) Clinical trial design considerations This clinical trial using this compound is a Phase 1 / 2 FIH study, including a Phase 1 dose-escalation part and a Phase 2 dose-expansion part. The study design is shown in Figure 1. Initially, only tentative dose levels of 40, 60, 80, 100, 120, and 140 mg BID were planned, but because there are currently no safety concerns, tentative dose levels (180, 240, 320, 420, 560, and 740 mg BID) have been added to the study. In the dose-escalation portion, subjects were enrolled into different treatment arms depending on whether they were taking concomitant azole antifungals that are strong or moderate CYP3A4 / 5 inhibitors, as follows: Group A: Subjects who have not received an azole antifungal agent within 7 days (or within 21 days in the case of isavuconazole) prior to the first administration of this compound Group B: Subjects receiving antifungal prophylaxis with posaconazole, voriconazole, or fluconazole at the time of enrollment The safety of each dose level was evaluated by an SRC comprised of all participating investigators and selected study team members from the sponsor. The dose recommendations in the BLRM method were used as a guideline and were integrated with a clinical evaluation of toxicity information and a review of other available data, including safety, PK, pharmacodynamic, and laboratory data.

[0232] (2) Subject enrollment At the time of data cutoff, a total of 14 subjects were enrolled in the Phase 1 dose-escalation part of this study at dose levels of 40 mg BID (N=2), 80 mg BID (N=4), 100 mg BID (N=2), and 120 mg BID (N=6) in Group A, and a total of 10 subjects were enrolled at dose levels of 40 mg BID (N=4) and 60 mg BID (N=6) in Group B (Table 1). Upon completion of dose-limiting toxicity (DLT) assessment for each cohort, the next dose was determined by the SRC based on DLT and other available data, including safety, PK, pharmacodynamic, and laboratory data, guided by recommendations from a Bayesian logistic regression model (BLRM). When the Safety Review Committee (SRC) determined that the 80 mg BID cohort in Arm A was safe based on the evaluation of two subjects, the SRC decided to start Arm B at 40 mg BID. Importantly, at the start of Arm B, enrollment was limited to patients with specific genetic abnormalities in both Arms A and B. Therefore, the SRC decided to continue Arm A at 80 mg BID and start Arm B at 40 mg BID for patients with specific genetic abnormalities. These specific genetic abnormalities are genetic abnormalities, such as MLLr and NPM1m, that indicate the compound may be effective. Narrowing the population to subjects more likely to respond to the compound allows for a more accurate assessment of potential toxicity in the target population. Dose escalation was determined after all subjects in each dose-level cohort had completed at least Cycle 1. All available data, along with BLRM predictions of the probability of toxicity at the potential next dose level, were presented, and the SRC then determined the dose for the next cohort. [Table 1]

[0233] Example 1: Safety evaluation of the present compound At the time of data cutoff, no DLTs occurred among the 24 subjects enrolled in this clinical trial (Table 2). All 24 subjects experienced at least one treatment-emergent adverse event (TEAE). The proportion of subjects who experienced grade 3 or grade 4 TEAEs was similar: 5 (35.7%) and 4 (28.6%) in Group A, and 3 (30.0%) and 2 (20.0%) in Group B. Three subjects in Group B experienced treatment-related grade 3 TEAEs (increased aspartate aminotransferase, leukocytosis, and hypertriglyceridemia), all of which were transient and resolved. Serious TEAEs were reported in 9 (64.3%) subjects in Group A and 6 (60.0%) in Group B. Only one serious TEAE was considered treatment-related by the investigator (two cases of differentiation syndrome confirmed in one subject in Group A). Details of serious TEAEs are shown in Table 6. During the study, 5 patients (35.7%) in Group A and 3 patients (30.0%) in Group B died due to TEAEs, all of which were ruled out as being related to the treatment. Additionally, 2 of 5 patients in Group A and 2 of 3 patients in Group B died due to progression of the disease under study (see Table 5). 1 patient in Group A and 2 patients in Group B experienced a TEAE related to the compound that led to treatment interruption. No treatment-related TEAEs leading to treatment discontinuation or dose reduction were reported at the time. Adverse events (AEs) observed to date were consistent with those observed in patients with relapsed / refractory AML on other therapies (e.g., anemia, hypokalemia, nausea, fatigue, headache, etc.). The AE profile was generally consistent between Groups A and B. Most TEAEs considered to be related to the compound were grade 1 or grade 2. Table 4 shows TEAEs occurring in 20% or more of patients in either Group A or B, regardless of causality to the compound, and all TEAEs considered to be related to the compound. As shown in Tables 2 and 5, serious adverse events (SAEs) occurred in a total of 15 patients, of which 9 (64.3%) were in Group A and 6 (60.0%) were in Group B. These SAEs are complications commonly observed in AML patients, and all were determined to be unrelated to the compound, except for two SAEs of differentiation syndrome that occurred in one patient (assessed by the investigator as related to the compound). The patient with potential differentiation syndrome was a 63-year-old woman with TP53 mutation-positive AML. She was enrolled in Arm A and received 80 mg twice daily. The diagnosis of differentiation syndrome was based on the observation of an increase in white blood cell count with a decrease in blast percentage associated with the administration of the compound late in Cycle 1 and early in Cycle 2. However, the evaluation of this patient was complicated by AML disease progression (bone marrow blasts increased from 11% at baseline to 53% on Day 28 of Cycle 1), transfusion adverse reactions, and pneumonia due to a potential fungal infection. Although the differentiation syndrome resolved, the patient died shortly thereafter from intracranial hemorrhage secondary to AML disease progression (the platelet count was 20,000 / μL the day before the onset of intracranial hemorrhage, suggesting AML disease progression). The investigator noted that differentiation syndrome was not the cause of the subject's death. To date, no other cases have developed differentiation syndrome, even in patients with MLLr or NPM1m positivity. Fatal SAEs occurred in eight patients (five in Group A and three in Group B), all of which were assessed by the investigator and sponsor as unrelated to the compound and likely secondary to AML disease progression or AML-related complications. Overall, the types and frequencies of TEAEs observed in Groups A and B were similar. The only SAE considered to be related was differentiation syndrome, which occurred in one patient in Group A, as described above. Other SAEs, including those resulting in death, were related to complications due to AML recurrence or disease progression. At this time, no safety findings specific to subjects in Group B were observed, and no clear differences were observed in the safety profile of this compound between Groups A and B. [Table 2] TIFF2026502548000004.tif146166 [Table 3] TIFF2026502548000006.tif230158 [Table 4] [Table 5] TIFF2026502548000009.tif181166

[0234] Example 2: Pharmacokinetic evaluation of the compound In this study of this compound, PK samples were collected from up to 24 subjects dosed at 40, 80, 100, and 120 mg BID in Group A and 40 and 60 mg BID in Group B (Table 6). Large inter-patient variability in preliminary PK was observed. In Group A, a dose-dependent trend in increasing exposure was observed at the dose levels evaluated so far (40 mg, 80 mg, 100 mg, and 120 mg BID). In Group B, current data for assessing dose-dependent drug exposure were from 40 mg to 60 mg BID. mean plasma t 1 / 2 (where available) ranged from 2.82 to 5.64 hours in Group A and 2.61 to 7.29 hours in Group B. Absorption was relatively rapid, with T max Minimal or no drug accumulation was observed with repeated dosing when comparing exposure on Day 1 of Cycle 2 with exposure on Day 1 of Cycle 1. The effect of concomitant administration of azole antifungals on the exposure of this compound was evaluated. As shown in Table 6, the exposure of Group B at 40 mg BID (C max and AUC last) was similar to that observed in Arm A at 40 mg BID, and Arm B at 60 mg BID was closer to that observed in Arm A at 40 mg BID. The high variability in exposure and small sample sizes at each dose level limited the ability to draw conclusions at this point in the study. However, comparison of Arms A and B with the available PK data to date suggests that the azole does not have a large or dramatic effect on the exposure of this compound. [Table 6]

[0235] Example 3: Evaluation of efficacy of the present compound In this study, clinical signals were observed, including reduction and normalization of bone marrow blasts, disappearance of peripheral blood blasts, and responses based on the European LeukemiaNet 2017 Response Criteria. One MLLr-positive patient enrolled in Arm A at 120 mg BID achieved morphologic leukemia-free status (MLFS), while one MLLr-positive patient enrolled in Arm B at 60 mg BID achieved complete remission with partial hematologic recovery (CRh) and complete remission with incomplete hematologic recovery (CRi). Significant changes in several biomarkers were also observed, including decreases in HOXA9, PBX3, and MEIS1 and increases in CD11b. These changes were particularly pronounced in MLLr- or NPM1m-positive patients.

[0236] Example 4: Patient Enrollment (1) As of the data cutoff date, a total of 43 patients with acute leukemia were enrolled in the phase 1 dose-escalation part of this study at dose levels of 40–200 mg BID (n=23) in Arm A and 40–200 mg BID (n=20) in Arm B. Baseline characteristics are shown in Table 7. [Table 7] TIFF2026502548000012.tif57156

[0237] (2) As of the data cutoff date, a total of 57 patients with acute leukemia were enrolled in the phase 1 dose-escalation part of this study at dose levels of 40–300 mg BID (n=27) in Arm A and 40–300 mg BID (n=30) in Arm B. Baseline characteristics are shown in Table 8. [Table 8] TIFF2026502548000014.tif219156

[0238] (3) At the time of data cut, 81 patients (31 in Group A and 50 in Group B) were enrolled. The median age was 57.1 years (range, 20-89 years), 56.8% were female, and 93.8% had AML. The median number of prior therapies was 3 (range, 1-9). Twenty-three patients (28.4%) had received prior allogeneic stem cell transplantation, 63 patients (77.8%) had received prior venetoclax, and 5 patients (6.2%) had received prior menin inhibitors. MLLr was reported in 42 patients (51.9%), and NPM1m was reported in 20 patients (24.7%).

[0239] Example 5: Safety evaluation of the present compound (1) No DLTs were observed at any dose level between 40 and 200 mg. The majority of TEAEs were Grade 1 or Grade 2 and were managed with supportive care.

Among 22 patients with MLLr (20 AML, 2 ALL), the objective response rate (ORR) according to ELN 2017 (CR+CRi+MLFS) was 59.1% (13 / 22), and CR+CRh was achieved in 22.7% (5 / 22). Among 13 patients with NPM1m AML, the ORR was 53.8% (7 / 13), and CR+CRh was achieved in 23.1% (3 / 13). Among patients with other menin-sensitizing genetics, one patient (AML) with the CALM-AF10 fusion gene also achieved a CR. Overall, the median time to objective response and time to CR+CRh were 1.0 month and 1.0 month, respectively.
