Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present disclosure relates to combination therapies useful for the treatment of abnormal RAS signaling (e.g., the treatment of RAS-dependent cancers). In certain embodiments, provided herein are compositions comprising a therapeutically effective combination comprising a RAS(ON) inhibitor, pharmaceutical compositions comprising a combination therapy, and methods of using them for the treatment of diseases or disorders having modulated RAS activity.
Background Art
[0002] It is well established in the literature that RAS proteins (K-RAS, H-RAS, and N-RAS) play an essential role in various RAS-related diseases such as cancer, RASopathies, and neuropathies, and mutations in the RAS gene or its regulators constitutively activate the RAS protein and thus represent suitable targets for therapy. Indeed, mutations in the RAS protein account for approximately 30% of all human cancers in the United States, many of which are lethal. Dysregulation of the RAS protein by mutant activation, overexpression, or upstream activation is common in human tumors, and mutant activation of RAS is frequently found in human cancers. For example, mutant activation of codon 12 in the RAS protein inhibits both the GTPase-activating protein (GAP)-dependent and intrinsic hydrolysis rates of GTP, significantly skewing the population of RAS mutant proteins into the "on" (GTP-bound) state (RAS(ON)) and functioning by driving oncogenic MAPK signaling. In particular, RAS exhibits picomolar affinity for GTP, enabling RAS to be activated even in the presence of low concentrations of this nucleotide. Mutations in codon 13 of RAS (e.g., G13D), and codon 61 (e.g., Q61K) also confer oncogenic activity in some cancers.
[0003] Despite decades of extensive drug discovery efforts targeting abnormal RAS signaling, the existence of acquired and adaptive resistance mechanisms associated with RAS mutant cancers makes it difficult to achieve complete and durable responses. Further efforts are needed to identify additional compositions, including compositions with combinations of therapeutic agents, for targeting RAS-driven diseases and disorders.

[Brief explanation of the drawing]
[0038] [Figure 1] In a KRASG12C NSCLC xenograft model, the RMC-6291 + RMC-6236 combination doublet overcomes resistance and extends durability. In the graph titled "Improved Response," the conditions tested, from left to right, are RMC-6291 100 or 200 mg / kg po qd, RMC-6236 25 mg / kg po qd, and the combination. [Figure 2] In a KRASG12C NSCLC xenograft model, combination therapy with RMC-6291 + RMC-6236 induces apoptosis, drives sustained tumor regression, and prevents resistance. [Figure 3] This demonstrates that RMC-6291 + RMC-6236 provide a combined benefit in the KRASG12C PDX model. [Figure 4] The benefits of the RMC-6236 + chemotherapy combination in the PDAC KRASAMP model are illustrated. [Figure 5] The RAS inhibition by RMC-7977 completely suppresses PI3K-active KRASWT and KRASG12D, exhibits moderate inhibitory effects in KRASG12C and KRASG12V, and has no effect in KRASG12R strains (left). RMC-7977 suppresses PIP3 levels only in KRASG12D mutant PDAC strains, but not in KRASG12R mutant PDAC strains (right). [Figure 6]The image shows that RMC-7977 reduced pERK (MAPK signaling) levels in both KRASG12D and KRASG12R mutant cell lines (left), while the MEK inhibitor reduced pERK (MAPK signaling) levels in both KRASG12D and KRASG12R mutant cell lines (right). [Figure 7] We demonstrate that the combination of RMC-9805 and abemaciclib drives a durable and complete response in an immunoassay-qualified model of PDAC. [Modes for carrying out the invention]

[0041] definition In this application, unless otherwise clearly indicated by context, (i) the terms “a” and “an” mean “one or more”; (ii) the term “or” is used to mean “and / or” unless it is explicitly intended to refer only to the options or the options are not mutually exclusive, but this disclosure supports definitions referring only to the options and “and / or”; (iii) the terms “comprising” and “including” are understood to encompass the itemized components or steps, whether presented by themselves or together with one or more additional components or steps; and (iv) where a scope is indicated, it includes endpoints.
[0042] As used herein, the term “approximately” is used to indicate that a value includes the standard deviation of the error of the device or method used to determine the value. In certain embodiments, unless otherwise stated or evident from the content (for example, if such a number exceeds 100% of the possible values), the term “approximately” refers to a range of values that fall within 25%, 20%, 19%, 18%, 17%, 16%, 15%, 14%, 13%, 12%, 11%, 10%, 9%, 8%, 7%, 6%, 5%, 4%, 3%, 2%, and 1% or less in either direction (above or below) of the stated value.
[0043] Throughout this specification, unless the context requires otherwise, the terms “comprise,” “comprises,” and “comprising” mean to include the steps or elements, or groups of steps or elements, described, but not to exclude any other steps or elements, or groups of steps or elements. “Consisting of” means to include, and is limited to, everything that follows the phrase “consisting of.” Thus, the phrase “consisting of” indicates that the listed elements are necessary or essential, and other elements may or may not be present. “Essentially consisting of” means to include any elements listed after this phrase, and, with respect to other elements, is limited to those that do not interfere with or contribute to the activity or effect specified in the disclosure of the listed elements. Thus, the phrase “essentially consisting of” indicates that the listed elements are necessary or essential, but other elements are optional, and may or may not be present, depending on whether they substantially affect the activity or effect of the listed elements.
[0044] Those skilled in the art will understand that certain inhibitor compounds described herein may exist in one or more different isomeric (e.g., stereoisomers, geometric isomers, atropisomers, tautomers) or isotopic (e.g., one or more atoms are substituted with different isotopes, such as deuterium-substituted hydrogen).

Unless otherwise indicated, all stereoisomers, such as enantiomers and diastereomers, are intended. Compounds containing asymmetrically substituted carbon atoms may be isolated in an optically active form or as a racemate. Methods for preparing optically active forms from optically active starting materials, such as by the division of racemic mixtures or stereoselective synthesis, are known in the art. Many geometric isomers, such as olefins and C=N double bonds, may also exist among the compounds described herein, and all such stable isomers are intended in this disclosure. Cis and trans geometric isomers of the compounds in this disclosure are described and may be isolated as mixtures of isomers or as separated isomers.
[0046] In some embodiments, one or more inhibitor compounds described herein may exist in different tautomerized forms. As will be apparent from the context, unless explicitly excluded, references to such compounds encompass all such tautomerized forms. In some embodiments, the tautomerized form arises from the exchange of a single bond with an adjacent double bond and the accompanying transfer of protons. In certain embodiments, the tautomerized form may be a prototropic tautomer, which is a protonated state of an isomer having the same empirical formula and total charge as the reference form. Examples of moieties having prototropic tautomers include ketone-enol pairs, amide-imoid acid pairs, lactam-lactim pairs, amide-imoid acid pairs, enamine-imine pairs, and cyclic forms in which protons can occupy two or more positions in a heterocyclic system, such as 1H- and 3H-imidazoles, 1H-, 2H-, and 4H-1,2,4-triazoles, 1H- and 2H-isoindoles, and 1H- and 2H-pyrazoles. In some embodiments, the tautomers can be in equilibrium or sterically fixed to one form by appropriate substitution. In certain embodiments, the tautomers arise from acetal interconversion.
[0047] Unless otherwise indicated, inhibitor compounds described herein also mean compounds that differ only in that one or more isotopically enriched atoms are present. Exemplary isotopes that can be incorporated into the compounds of the present disclosure include 2 H, 3 H, 11 C, 13 C, 14 C, 13 N, 15 N, 15 O, 17 O, 18 O, 32 P, 33 P, 35 S, 18 F, 36 Cl, 123 I, and 125 I and the like, and isotopes such as hydrogen, carbon, nitrogen, oxygen, phosphorus, sulfur, fluorine, chlorine, and iodine. Isotopically labeled compounds (e.g., 3 H and 14 C labeled compounds) may be useful in compound or substrate tissue distribution assays. Tritiated (i.e., 3 H) and carbon-14 (i.e., 14 C) isotopes can be useful in terms of the ease of their preparation and detectability. Further, substitution with heavier isotopes, such as deuterium (i.e., 2 H), can result in higher metabolic stability and, as a result, certain therapeutic advantages can be obtained (e.g., longer in vivo half-life or lower required dosage). In some embodiments, one or more hydrogen atoms are replaced by 2 H or 3 H, or one or more carbon atoms are replaced by 13 C or 14 C enriched carbon. 15 O, 13 N, 11 C, and 18Positron-emitting isotopes such as fluorine are useful in positron emission tomography (PET) studies to examine substrate receptor occupancy. The preparation of isotopically labeled compounds is known to those skilled in the art. For example, isotopically labeled compounds can generally be prepared by replacing unlabeled reagents with isotopically labeled reagents, following procedures similar to those disclosed for the compounds of this disclosure described herein.
[0048] As is known in the art, many chemical components can be used in various different solid forms, such as amorphous or crystalline forms (e.g., polymorphs, hydrates, solvates). In some embodiments, the inhibitor compound may be used in any such form, including any solid form. In some embodiments, the compound may be provided or used in hydrate or solvate form.
[0049] Those skilled in the art reading this disclosure will understand that inhibitor compounds may be provided or utilized in any of a variety of forms, such as salt form, protected form, prodrug form, ester form, isomer form (e.g., optical or structural isomer), isotopic form, etc. In some embodiments, reference to a particular compound may relate to a particular form of that compound. In some embodiments, reference to a particular compound may relate to that compound in any form. In some embodiments, for example, a preparation of a single stereoisomer of a compound may be considered a different form of the compound from a racemic mixture of the compound; a particular salt of a compound may be considered a different form from another salt form of the compound; a preparation containing one structural isomer of a double bond ((Z) or (E)) may be considered a different form from one containing the other structural isomer of the double bond ((E) or (Z)); and a preparation in which one or more atoms are isotopes different from those present in the reference preparation may be considered a different form.
[0050] As used herein, the term “administration” means the administration of a composition (e.g., a compound, or a preparation containing a compound as described herein) to a subject or system. Administration also includes administering to a subject a prodrug derivative or analog of a compound, or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt of a compound or composition, which can form an equivalent amount of the active compound in the subject’s body. Administration to an animal subject (e.g., a human) may be by any suitable route. For example, in some embodiments, administration may be bronchial (including bronchial infusion), cheek, enteral, interdermal, intra-arterial, intradermal, intragastric, intramedullary, intramuscular, transnasal, intraperitoneal, intrathecal, intravenous, intraventricular, mucosal, intranasal, oral, rectal, subcutaneous, sublingual, topical, intratracheal (including intratracheal infusion), transdermal, vaginal, or intravitreous.
[0051] As used herein, the term “amino acid” refers to a molecule having a side chain, an amino group, and an acidic group (e.g., -CO2H or -SO3H), and an amino acid is bonded to a parent molecule by a side chain, an amino group, or an acidic group (e.g., a side chain). As used herein, the term “amino acid” in its broadest sense refers to any compound or substance that can be incorporated into a polypeptide chain, for example, by the formation of one or more peptide bonds. In some embodiments, the amino acid has the general structure H2N-C(H)(R)-COOH. In some embodiments, the amino acid is a naturally occurring amino acid. In some embodiments, the amino acid is a synthetic amino acid, in some embodiments, the amino acid is a D-amino acid, and in some embodiments, the amino acid is an L-amino acid. “Standard amino acid” refers to any of the 20 standard L-amino acids commonly found in naturally occurring peptides. Examples of amino acids include alanine, arginine, asparagine, aspartic acid, cysteine, glutamic acid, glutamine, glycine, histidine, optionally substituted hydroxylnorvaline, isoleucine, leucine, lysine, methionine, norvaline, ornithine, phenylalanine, proline, pyrrolicine, selenocysteine, serine, taurine, threonine, tryptophan, tyrosine, and valine.
[0052] As used herein, “amino acid substitution” refers to the substitution of a wild-type amino acid in a protein with a non-wild-type amino acid. Amino acid substitutions can be caused by gene mutations and can alter one or more properties of a protein (for example, altered binding affinity or specificity, altered enzyme activity, altered structure, or altered function).
[0053] The term "combination therapy" refers to a treatment method that includes administering to a subject, as part of a treatment regimen, at least two therapeutic agents, optionally as one or more pharmaceutical compositions. For example, combination therapy may include the administration of a single pharmaceutical composition comprising at least two therapeutic agents and one or more pharmaceutically acceptable carriers, excipients, diluents, or surfactants. Combination therapy may include the administration of two or more pharmaceutical compositions, each comprising one or more therapeutic agents and one or more pharmaceutically acceptable carriers, excipients, diluents, or surfactants. The two or more agents may optionally be administered simultaneously (as a single or separate composition) or sequentially (as separate compositions). The therapeutic agents may be administered in an effective dose. The therapeutic agents may be administered in a therapeutically effective dose. In some embodiments, the effective dose of one or more therapeutic agents may be less when used in combination therapy than the therapeutic dose of the same therapeutic agent when used as a monotherapy, for example, due to the added or synergistic effect of combining two or more therapeutic agents.
[0054] As used herein, “effective dose,” “therapeutically effective” combination, or “therapeutically effective” dose refers to an amount sufficient to induce a desired biological response. In this disclosure, the desired biological response is to treat a patient’s (i.e., subject requiring treatment with combination therapy) disease or disorder (e.g., cancer), such as slowing the progression of the disease or disorder or reducing the presence of the disease or disorder in the patient. In this disclosure, “patient” is understood to refer to a patient requiring treatment with a combination of therapeutic agents (e.g., a RAS(ON) inhibitor and an additional therapeutic agent). The exact amounts of the first and second therapeutic agents administered to a patient depend on the mode of administration, the type and severity of the disease or disorder, and the subject’s characteristics such as general health, age, sex, weight, and drug tolerance. In some embodiments, the effective doses of the first and second therapeutic agents in combination are different from the effective doses of the first and / or second therapeutic agents administered as monotherapy. In some embodiments, the effective doses of the first and second therapeutic agents in a combination are the same as the effective doses of the first and / or second therapeutic agents administered as monotherapies. In some embodiments, a therapeutically effective combination of the first and second therapeutic agents refers to amounts of the first and second therapeutic agents that are different from the therapeutically effective doses of the first and second therapeutic agents administered as monotherapies. In some embodiments, a therapeutically effective combination of the first and second therapeutic agents refers to amounts of the first and second therapeutic agents that are the same as the therapeutically effective dose of one of the first and second therapeutic agents administered as monotherapies.
[0055] The term “therapeutic dose” means an amount sufficient to treat a disease, disorder, or condition when administered to a population suffering from or suspected of having a disease, disorder, or condition, according to a therapeutic administration regimen. In some embodiments, the therapeutic dose is an amount that reduces the onset or severity of one or more symptoms of the disease, disorder, or condition, or delays the onset of one or more symptoms of the disease, disorder, or condition. Those skilled in the art will understand that the term “therapeutic dose” does not actually require that successful treatment be achieved in a particular individual. Rather, the therapeutic dose can be an amount that, when administered to subjects requiring such treatment, produces a particular desired pharmacological response in a significant number of subjects. It is specifically understood that a particular subject may actually be “refractory” to the “therapeutic dose.” In some embodiments, the reference to the therapeutic dose may refer to an amount measured in one or more specific tissues (e.g., tissues affected by the disease, disorder, or condition) or fluids (e.g., blood, saliva, serum, sweat, tears, urine). Those skilled in the art will understand that in some embodiments, the therapeutically effective dose may be formulated or administered as a single dose. In some embodiments, the therapeutically effective dose may be formulated or administered in multiple doses, for example, as part of an administration regimen.
[0056] As used herein, the term “dosage form” refers to a physically distinct unit of a compound (e.g., an inhibitor compound disclosed herein) for administration to a subject. Each unit contains a predetermined amount of the compound. In some embodiments, such an amount is a unit dose (or its entire fraction) appropriate for administration according to an administration regimen (i.e., using a therapeutic administration regimen) that has been determined to correlate with a desired or beneficial outcome when administered to a suitable population. Those skilled in the art will understand that the total amount of a therapeutic composition or compound administered to a particular subject is determined by one or more attending physicians and may involve administration in multiple dosage forms.
[0057] As used herein, the term “dosage regimen” refers to a set of unit doses (usually two or more) administered individually to a subject, typically separated by time periods. In some embodiments, a given therapeutic compound has a recommended dosage regimen, which may involve one or more doses. In some embodiments, a dosage regimen comprises multiple doses, each separated from the others by time periods of the same length, and in some embodiments, a dosage regimen comprises multiple doses and at least two different time periods separating the individual doses. In some embodiments, all doses within a dosage regimen are the same unit dose. In some embodiments, different doses within a dosage regimen are different amounts. In some embodiments, a dosage regimen comprises a first dose at a first dose, followed by one or more further doses at a second dose different from the first dose. In some embodiments, a dosage regimen comprises a first dose at a first dose, followed by one or more further doses at a second dose the same as the first dose. In some embodiments, the administration regimen correlates with desired or beneficial outcomes when administered across the relevant population (i.e., it is a therapeutic administration regimen). When administered in combination with RAS(ON) inhibitors, the dosage of one or more additional therapies (e.g., non-pharmacological treatments or therapeutic agents) may be reduced from the standard monotherapy dosage. In certain embodiments, the dosage may be determined empirically from the combination and order of drugs, or estimated by isobolographic analysis (e.g., Black et al., Neurology 65:S3-S6 (2005)).
[0058] The term “disability” is used in this disclosure to mean, and is interchangeable with, the terms “disease,” “condition,” or “illness,” unless otherwise indicated. As used herein, the term “isomer” means any tautomer, stereoisomer, atropisomer, enantiomer, or diastereomer of any compound of the Disclosure. The compounds of the Disclosure may have one or more chiral centers or double bonds and are therefore recognized to exist as stereoisomers, e.g., double bond isomers (i.e., geometric E / Z isomers), or diastereomers (i.e., enantiomers (i.e., (+) or (-)), or cis / trans isomers). According to the Disclosure, the chemical structures illustrated herein encompass both all corresponding stereoisomers, i.e., stereoisomerically pure forms (e.g., geometrically pure, enantiomerically pure, or diastereoisomerically pure forms) and mixtures of enantiomers and stereoisomers, e.g., racemic compounds. Mixtures of enantiomers and stereoisomers of the compounds disclosed herein can typically be separated into their constituent enantiomers or stereoisomers by known methods, such as chiral phase gas chromatography, chiral phase high-performance liquid chromatography, crystallization of the compound as a chiral salt complex, or crystallization of the compound in a chiral solvent. Enantiomers and stereoisomers can also be obtained from stereoisomerically or enantiomerically pure intermediates, reagents, and catalysts by known asymmetric synthesis methods.
[0059] As used herein, the term “inhibitor” refers to a compound that prevents a biomolecule (e.g., protein, nucleic acid) from completing or initiating a reaction. Inhibitors can inhibit a reaction by competitive, non-competitive, or non-competitive means, for example. With respect to its binding mechanism, an inhibitor may be an irreversible or reversible inhibitor. Exemplary inhibitors include, but are not limited to, nucleic acids, DNA, RNA, shRNA, siRNA, proteins, protein mimics, peptides, peptide mimics, antibodies, small molecules, degradation agents, chemicals, enzymes, receptors, or analogs that mimic the binding sites of other proteins. In some embodiments, the inhibitor is a small molecule, for example, a low molecular weight organic compound, for example, an organic compound having a molecular weight (MW) of less than 1200 Daltons (Da). In some embodiments, the MW is less than 1100 Da. In some embodiments, the MW is less than 1000 Da. In some embodiments, the MW is less than 900 Da. In some embodiments, the MW is less than 800 Da. In some embodiments, the MW is less than 700 Da. In some embodiments, the MW is less than 600 Da. In some embodiments, the MW range of the small molecule is 600 Da to 700 Da (inclusive). In some embodiments, the MW range of the small molecule is 600 Da to 800 Da (inclusive). Small molecule inhibitors include cyclic and acyclic compounds. Small molecule inhibitors include their native products, derivatives, and analogs. Small molecule inhibitors may include covalent crosslinking groups capable of forming covalent crosslinks with, for example, the amino acid side chains of a target protein.
[0060] In some embodiments, inhibitors are molecular entities designed to selectively induce the degradation of target proteins within cells, such as proteolytic agents, or proteolytic targeting chimeras (PROTACs). Proteolytic agents such as PROTACs typically consist of bifunctional molecules that simultaneously bind to both the target protein of interest and components of the cellular degradation mechanism, such as E3 ubiquitin ligases. This dual binding promotes the ubiquitination of the target protein, leading to its recognition by the proteasome and subsequent degradation. The design and optimization of proteolytic agents may include structural modifications, linker optimization, and functional characterization to enhance their specificity, potency, and selectivity for the target protein.
[0061] As used herein, the term “mutation” refers to any modification of a nucleic acid or polypeptide that results in an alteration of the nucleic acid or polypeptide. The term “mutation” may include, for example, point mutations, deletions or insertions of one or more residues within a polynucleotide, alterations occurring within the protein-coding region of a gene, and alterations in regions outside the protein-coding region, such as, but not limited to, regulatory or promoter sequences, and amplification, or chromosomal disruption or translocation. In certain embodiments, a mutation results in an amino acid substitution in the encoded protein.
[0062] "Patient" or "subject" is a mammal, such as a human, mouse, rat, guinea pig, dog, cat, horse, cattle, pig, or a non-human primate, such as a monkey, chimpanzee, baboon, or rhesus macaque.
[0063] The terms “prevent” or “prevention” in relation to a subject refer to preventing the subject from contracting a disease or disorder. Prevention includes prophylactic treatment. For example, prevention may include administering a compound disclosed herein to a subject before the subject contracts a disease, and this administration prevents the subject from contracting the disease.
[0064] As used herein, the term “pharmaceutical composition” means a compound such as the compounds of this disclosure, or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof, formulated with pharmaceutically acceptable excipients.
[0065] As used herein, “pharmaceutically acceptable excipients” refers to any inert component (e.g., a vehicle capable of suspending or dissolving an active compound) that is non-toxic and non-inflammatory in the subject matter. Typical excipients include, for example, antifouling agents, antioxidants, binders, coatings, compression aids, disintegrants, dyes (colorants), emollients, emulsifiers, fillers (diluents), film-forming agents or coatings, flavoring agents, fragrances, flow enhancers, lubricants, preservatives, printing inks, adsorbents, suspending agents or dispersants, sweeteners, or hydration water. Examples of excipients include, but are not limited to, optionally substituted butylated hydroxytoluene (BHT), calcium carbonate, dibasic calcium phosphate, calcium stearate, croscarmellose, cross-linked polyvinylpyrrolidone, citric acid, crospovidone, cysteine, ethylcellulose, gelatin, optionally substituted hydroxypropylcellulose, optionally substituted hydroxypropylmethylcellulose, lactose, magnesium stearate, maltitol, mannitol, methionine, methylcellulose, methylparaben, microcrystalline cellulose, polyethylene glycol, polyvinylpyrrolidone, povidone, pregelatinized starch, propylparaben, retinyl palmitate, shellac, silicon dioxide, sodium carboxymethylcellulose, sodium citrate, sodium starch glycolic acid, sorbitol, starch (corn), stearic acid, sucrose, talc, titanium dioxide, vitamin A, vitamin E, vitamin C, and xylitol.

Philadelphia: Lippincott, Williams & Wilkins, 2004; Gennaro, et al., Remington: The Science and Practice of Pharmacy. Philadelphia: Lippincott, Williams & Wilkins, 2000; and Rowe, Handbook of Pharmaceutical Excipients. Chicago, Pharmaceutical Press, 2005. In some embodiments, the composition comprises at least two different pharmaceutically acceptable excipients.
[0066] As used herein, the term “pharmaceutically acceptable salt” refers to salts of the compounds described herein that are suitable for use in contact with human and other animal tissues without causing excessive toxicity, irritation, allergic reactions, etc., within the normal range of reasonable medical judgment, and that are balanced by a reasonable benefit / risk ratio. pharmaceutically acceptable salts are well known in the art. For example, pharmaceutically acceptable salts are described in Berge et al., J. Pharmaceutical Sciences 66:1-19, 1977 and Pharmaceutical Salts: Properties, Selection, and Use, (Eds. PHStahl and CGWermuth), Wiley-VCH, 2008. Salts can be prepared in situ during the final isolation and purification of the compounds described herein, or separately by reacting free base groups with suitable organic acids.
[0067] The terms "RAS inhibitor" and "inhibitor of RAS" are used interchangeably and refer to any inhibitor that targets the RAS protein, i.e., selectively binds to or selectively inhibits the RAS protein.
[0068] As used herein, the term “RAS(OFF) inhibitor” refers to an inhibitor that targets, i.e., selectively binds to or selectively inhibits the GDP-bound inactive state of RAS (e.g., more selectively than GTP-bound active RAS). Inhibition of the GDP-bound inactive state of RAS can be achieved, for example, by inhibiting the exchange of GDP with GTP, thereby sequestering the inactive state and inhibiting the adaptation of RAS to its active conformation. In certain embodiments, RAS(OFF) inhibitors may also bind to or inhibit the GTP-bound active state of RAS (e.g., with lower affinity or inhibition constant than GDP-bound inactive RAS). RAS(OFF) inhibitors may be mutaselective, such as being selective for G12C, G12D, or G12V variants. RAS(OFF) inhibitors may be selective for more than one variant, or selective for one or more variants and the wild type (in either case, “pan-KRAS(OFF)” inhibitors). Methods for measuring RAS(OFF) inhibition are known in the art.
[0069] As used herein, "RAS(ON) multiselective inhibitor" and "RAS MULTI "Inhibitor", "RAS MULTI The terms “(ON) inhibitor” or “RAS(MULTI) inhibitor” refer to RAS inhibitors of at least three RAS isoforms, including variants having a missense mutation at one of the following positions: 12, 13, 59, 61, or 146. In some embodiments, a RAS(ON) multiselective inhibitor refers to a RAS inhibitor of at least three RAS variants having a missense mutation at one of the following positions: 12, 13, and 61. In a non-limiting example, RMC-6236 and RMC-7977 are RAS(ON) multiselective inhibitors.
[0070] As used herein, the term “RAS(ON) variant-selective inhibitor” refers to a RAS inhibitor of a single variant carrying a missense mutation. In a non-limiting example, RMC-6291 is a RAS inhibitor.G12C It is a RAS(ON) variant-selective inhibitor (also referred to as a "RAS(ON)G12C selective inhibitor"). In another non-specific example, RMC-9805 is a RAS G12D It is a RAS(ON) variant-selective inhibitor (also known as a "RAS(ON)G12D selective inhibitor").
[0071] The terms “RAS pathway” and “RAS / MAPK pathway” are used interchangeably herein and refer to a signal transduction cascade downstream of various cell surface growth factor receptors, where the activation of RAS (and its diverse isoforms and allotypes) is a central event driving various cellular effector events that determine cell proliferation, activation, differentiation, mobility, and other functional properties. SHP2 transmits a positive signal from the growth factor receptor to the RAS activation / deactivation cycle, which is regulated by guanine nucleotide exchange factors (GEFs such as SOS1) that load GTP into RAS to produce functionally active, GTP-bound RAS, and GTP-accelerating proteins (GAPs such as NF1) that facilitate the termination of the signal by converting GTP to GDP. The GTP-bound RAS produced by this cycle transmits essential positive signals to a series of serine / threonine kinases, including RAFs and MAP kinases, from which further signals spread in various ways.
[0072] A “therapeutic agent” is any substance, such as a compound or composition, that is capable of treating a disease or disorder. In some embodiments, therapeutic agents useful in combination with the present disclosure include RAS inhibitors and cancer chemotherapy agents. Many such therapeutic agents are known in the art and are disclosed herein.
[0073] The term “treatment” (and in addition, “to treat” or “to treat”) in its broadest sense refers to any administration of a substance (e.g., a compound of the Disclosure) that partially or completely alleviates, improves, reduces, inhibits, delays the onset, reduces the severity, or decreases the incidence of one or more symptoms, features, or causes of a particular disease, disorder, or condition. In some embodiments, such treatment may be administered to a subject that shows no signs of the related disease, disorder, or condition, or to a subject that shows only the initial signs of the disease, disorder, or condition. Alternatively, or in addition, in some embodiments, treatment may be administered to a subject that shows one or more established signs of the related disease, disorder, or condition. In some embodiments, treatment may be administered to a subject that has been diagnosed with the related disease, disorder, or condition. In some embodiments, treatment may be administered to a subject that is known to have one or more susceptibility factors that are statistically correlated with an increased risk of progression of the related disease, disorder, or condition. In any treatment method of the Spec, a patient or subject may require such treatment.
[0074] The term "tricomplex" refers to a mechanism of action involving the formation of a high-affinity tricomplex between a synthetic ligand (e.g., a RAS(ON) inhibitor) and two intracellular proteins that do not normally interact under physiological conditions: RAS, the target protein of interest, and cyclophyllin A, a cytosolic chaperone protein widely expressed in cells. Such tricomplexes are known in the art. See, for example, WO2020 / 132597, WO2021 / 091956, WO2021 / 091967, WO2021 / 091982, WO2022 / 060836, WO2022 / 235864, WO2022 / 235870, WO2023 / 060253, WO2023 / 133543, and WO2023 / 240263.
[0075] The term "wild-type" refers to an entity with a structure or activity that is found in a "normal" state or context in nature (as opposed to mutants, diseases, modified organisms, etc.). Those skilled in the art will understand that wild-type genes and polypeptides often exist in multiple different forms (e.g., alleles).

[0080] a) RAS(ON) inhibitors The compositions and methods of this disclosure include RAS(ON) inhibitors. In certain embodiments, RAS(ON) inhibitors useful to this disclosure may form a high-affinity triplicate or conjugate between a synthetic ligand and two intracellular proteins that do not interact under normal physiological conditions: a target protein of interest (e.g., RAS) and a cytosolic chaperone (presenter protein) that is widely expressed intracellularly (e.g., cyclophyllin A). More specifically, in some embodiments, the RAS inhibitors described herein induce a novel binding pocket in RAS by driving the formation of a high-affinity triplicate or conjugate between the RAS protein and the widely expressed cytosolic chaperone cyclophyllin A (CYPA). In some embodiments, the RAS(ON) inhibitor is a RAS(ON) multiselective inhibitor (e.g., RMC-6236, RMC-7977, or GFH547). In some embodiments, the RAS(ON) inhibitor is a mutation-selective inhibitor (e.g., RMC-6291 or RMC-9805).
[0081] In some embodiments, the RAS(ON) inhibitor is an inhibitor that selectively binds to and inhibits the active state of RAS bound to GTP. In certain embodiments, the RAS(ON) inhibitor may also bind to or inhibit the inactive state of RAS bound to GDP (for example, with lower affinity or inhibition constant than the active state of RAS bound to GTP).

[0090] [ka]
[0091] In some embodiments, the RAS(ON) inhibitor is RMC-9805.
[0092] [ka]
[0093] In non-limiting examples, RAS(ON) inhibitor therapy includes RMC-6236 and RMC-6291 or RMC-6236 and RMC-9805. The synthesis of RAS(ON) inhibitors is known by known synthetic methods in the field of synthetic organic chemistry, or with variations thereof as understood by those skilled in the art, as described, for example, in WO2021 / 091956, WO2021 / 091982, or WO2022 / 060836.
[0094] b) RAS / MAPK inhibitors The compositions and methods described herein may include a RAS(ON) inhibitor (e.g., RMC-6236, RMC-6291, and / or RMC-9805) in combination with one or more RAS / MAPK pathway inhibitors. The RAS / MAPK pathway refers to a signal transduction cascade downstream of various cell surface growth factor receptors, where activation of RAS (and its diverse isoforms and allotypes) is a central event driving a variety of cellular effector events that determine cell proliferation, activation, differentiation, mobility, and other functional properties. SHP2 transmits a positive signal from the growth factor receptor to the RAS activation / deactivation cycle, which is regulated by guanine nucleotide exchange factors (GEFs such as SOS1) that load GTP into RAS to produce functionally active, GTP-bound RAS, and GTP-accelerating proteins (GAPs such as NF1) that facilitate the termination of the signal by converting GTP to GDP. The GTP-bound RAS produced by this cycle transmits essential positive signals to a series of serine / threonine kinases, including RAF and MAP kinase, from which further signals extend to various cellular effector functions. In some embodiments, therapeutic agents that can be combined with RAS(ON) inhibitors are inhibitors of the MAP kinase (MAPK) pathway (or "MAPK inhibitors"). MAPK pathway inhibitors include, but are not limited to, one or more MAPK pathway inhibitors described in Cancers (Basel) 2015 Sep;7(3):1758-1784.For example, MAPK inhibitors include trametinib, binimetinib, selumetinib, cobimetinib, LErafAON (NeoPharm), ISIS5132, vemurafenib, pimacertib, TAK733, RO4987655 (CH4987655), CI-1040, PD-0325901, CH5126766, MAP855, AZD6244, refametinib (RDEA119 / BAY86-9766), GDC-0973 / XL581, AZD8330 (ARRY-424704 / ARRY-704), RO5126766 (Roche, PLoS One. 2014 Nov). One or more of the following may be selected (as described in 25;9(11)) and GSK1120212 (or JTP-74057, as described in Clin Cancer Res. 2011 Mar 1;17(5):989-1000). MAPK pathway inhibitors may be PLX8394, LXH254, GDC-5573, or LY3009120. MAPK pathway inhibitors may be PI3Kα:RAS disruptors such as BBO-10203.
[0095] i) RAS(OFF) inhibitors and RAS(OFF) degrading agents The compositions and methods described herein may include RAS(ON) inhibitors (e.g., RMC-6236, RMC-6291, and / or RMC-9805) in combination with one or more RAS(OFF) inhibitors. Numerous mutant-selective and pan-KRAS inhibitors have been disclosed. RAS(OFF) inhibitors may be administered or formulated in combination with the RAS(ON) inhibitors described herein. RAS(OFF) inhibitors are designed to inhibit RAS activity by targeting different regions of the inactive RAS protein and blocking its activation and downstream signaling.
[0096] In some embodiments, the RAS(OFF) inhibitor is a KRAS(OFF) inhibitor having a molecular weight of less than 700 Da. The term "KRAS(OFF) inhibitor" refers to any RAS(OFF) inhibitor that binds to KRAS at its GDP-bound "off" position. In some embodiments, the KRAS(OFF) inhibitor is a KRAS G12CIt is specific to the mutation. KRAS G12C (OFF) inhibitors are KRAS G12C Using covalent groups that allow for selective targeting of mutant proteins, many such inhibitors contain a pyrimidine core. (KRAS) G12C (OFF) All inhibitors are KRAS G12C KRAS targets identical cysteine residues within mutant proteins, inducing a structural change that fixes the protein in an inactive state. G12C (OFF) inhibitors include AMG510 (sotrasib), MRTX849 (adagrasib), MRTX1257, GDC-6036 (divalasib), JDQ443 (opnurasib), ERAS-3490, LY3537982 (olomorasib), BI1823911, BPI-421286, JAB-3312, JAB-21000, JAB- This includes, but is not limited to, 21822 (glecilassib), D-1553, D3S-001, HBI-2438, HS-10370, MK-1084, YL-15293, BBO-8520 (ON / OFF inhibitor), FMC-376 (ON / OFF inhibitor), GEC255, BBO-11818, and GFH925 (IBI351). In some embodiments, the KRAS(OFF) inhibitor is selected from AMG510 and MRTX849. In some embodiments, the KRAS(OFF) inhibitor is AMG510. In some embodiments, the KRAS(OFF) inhibitor is selected from BPI-421286, JNJ-74699157 (ARS-3248), LY3537982, MRTX1257, ARS853, ARS1620, or GDC-6036.
[0097] In some embodiments, the KRAS(OFF) inhibitor is KRAS G12D It is specific to the mutation. Many KRAS G12D (OFF) inhibitors start with RAS G12C It was developed using (OFF) inhibitors and therefore shares a G12C inhibitor skeleton when combined with other chemical components such as piperazine compounds. KRAS G12DNon-exclusive examples of (OFF) inhibitors include MRTX1133, MRTX282, JAB-22000, ERAS-4, ERAS-5024, HRS-4642, BI-2852, BI-2852, ASP3082, TH-Z827, TH-Z835, QTX-3046, GFH375 (VS-7375), INCB161734, and KD-8.

[0099] In any embodiment of this specification using an RAS(OFF) inhibitor, RAS(OFF) degrading agents targeting the OFF state of the RAS may be used as an alternative. These degrading agents are known in the art. RAS degrading agents may be found, for example, in one or more of the following applications: WO2024083258, WO2024083256, WO2024055112, WO2024054625, WO2024050742, WO2024044334, WO2024040080, WO2024034657, WO2024034593, WO2024034591, WO2024034123, WO2024029613, WO202 4020159, WO2024019103, WO2024017392, WO2023185864, WO2023171781, WO2023141570, WO2023138524, WO2023130012, WO2023116934, WO2023099620, WO2023081476, WO2023077441, and CN115785199, each of these in whole, are incorporated herein by reference.
[0100] In some embodiments, RAS(OFF) inhibitors are peptide-based inhibitors. For example, peptide-based RAS(OFF) inhibitors have been developed that target specific regions of the RAS protein, such as the switch II region or the RAS effector interface. Non-limiting examples include the K-Ras binding peptide (Krpep-2d), the Ras inhibitor peptide (RasIn), and LUNA18 (NCT05012618). Peptide-based RAS(OFF) inhibitors are a class of compounds that target the RAS protein by interfering with its interaction with downstream effectors or other signaling proteins. These inhibitors are typically designed to mimic the binding motif of RAS interacting proteins or other RAS effectors, such as RAF or PI3K. By binding to RAS at the same site as these effectors, peptide-based inhibitors can effectively compete with these proteins and block the activation of downstream signaling pathways.
[0101] Peptide-based RAS(OFF) inhibitors can be further classified into two main categories: those targeting the RAS-effector interface and those targeting other regions of the RAS protein. Peptide-based inhibitors targeting the RAS-effector interface are designed to bind to the switch region of RAS, which is important in interactions with downstream effectors such as RAF or PI3K. These inhibitors typically contain amino acid residues similar to those found in the binding motif of RAS-interacting proteins or effectors, and are often designed to form hydrogen bonds or other interactions with key residues on the RAS surface.
[0102] Peptide-based RAS(OFF) inhibitors that target other regions of the RAS protein are typically designed to interfere with other interactions that are important for RAS activation or signaling. For example, some peptide-based inhibitors are designed to bind to the hypervariable region of the RAS, which is thought to play a role in protein membrane localization and fixation. By binding to this region, peptide-based inhibitors may block the proper localization of the RAS to the plasma membrane, which is necessary for activation and signaling.
[0103] Several common motifs have been identified as important for the binding of RAS-interacting proteins and effectors and are often used in the design of peptide-based inhibitors. One example is the RAF-binding domain (RBD), found in many RAS-interacting proteins and important for the interaction between RAS and downstream effectors such as RAFs. The RBD contains a conserved amino acid sequence (Arg-Xaa-Arg) that is important for binding to RAS, and this motif has been incorporated into several peptide-based inhibitors designed to disrupt RAS-RAF interactions. Another example is the RAS-binding domain (RBD) of PI3K, which is important for the interaction between RAS and its downstream effector. The PI3K RBD contains several conserved amino acid residues (such as Arg-Arg-Trp) that are important for binding to RAS, and these motifs have been used in the design of peptide-based inhibitors targeting RAS-PI3K interactions. Other common motifs used in peptide-based RAS(OFF) inhibitors include sequences that mimic the structure of the Ras-binding domain (RBD) of other RAS-interacting proteins such as RalGDS and SOS, as well as the switch region of RAS itself. These motifs are typically used to optimize the binding affinity and selectivity of the inhibitor for a desired target protein or interaction.
[0104] In some embodiments, RAS(OFF) inhibitors are antibodies or antigen-binding peptides specific to RAS(OFF). For example, antibodies have been developed that bind to specific regions of the RAS protein, such as the switch II region or the RAS effector interface. For instance, several antibodies have been developed that target the switch region of the RAS protein, which is crucial for the activation of these proteins and their interaction with downstream effectors. By binding to the switch region, these antibodies can block the conformational changes necessary for RAS activation and downstream signaling. Another approach involves the use of antibodies that target RAS-interacting proteins or downstream effectors, such as RAF or PI3K. By binding to the target protein, these antibodies can disrupt the RAS-dependent signaling pathway, potentially inhibiting the proliferation and survival of cancer cells. Furthermore, several antibodies have been developed that can induce the internal translocation and degradation of RAS proteins, leading to their depletion and inhibition of downstream signaling. For example, several antibodies have been developed that recognize the unique structures of mutant RAS proteins and target them for degradation via the ubiquitin-proteasome pathway. Non-specific examples of KRAS(OFF)-specific inhibitory antibodies include anti-p21ser and K27(DARPin) (see, for example, Khan et al, Biochim Biophys Acta Mol Cell Res. 2020 Feb;1867(2):118570).

[0131] e) PI3K / mTOR pathway inhibitors The compositions and methods described herein may include RAS(ON) inhibitors (e.g., RMC-6236, RMC-6291, and / or RMC-9805) in combination with one or more inhibitors of the PI3K-AKT-TOR signaling pathway. The PI3K-AKT-mTOR signaling pathway is a critical intracellular pathway that controls a wide range of cellular processes, including cell proliferation, growth, metabolism, and survival. This pathway is initiated when growth factors such as insulin or IGF-1 bind to cell surface receptors and activate phosphoinositide 3-kinase (PI3K). The activated PI3K then phosphorylates phosphatidylinositol 4,5-bisphosphate (PIP2) to produce phosphatidylinositol 3,4,5-trisphosphate (PIP3), which then activates AKT. Activated AKT activates mTOR (mammalian target of rapamycin) complex 1 (mTORC1) by phosphorylating various downstream targets, including the tuberous sclerosis complex (TSC1 / TSC2). Activated mTORC1 promotes protein synthesis and cell growth by phosphorylating key regulators of translation initiation, such as S6 kinase (S6K) and eukaryotic initiation factor 4E-binding protein 1 (4E-BP1).

[0222] RAS(ON) inhibitors may have ionic groups so that they can be prepared as pharmaceutically acceptable salts. These salts may be acid addition salts with inorganic or organic acids, or, in the case of the acidic form of the RAS(ON) inhibitor, the salts may be prepared from inorganic or organic bases. In some embodiments, the compounds are prepared or used as pharmaceutically acceptable salts prepared as addition products of pharmaceutically acceptable acids or bases. Suitable pharmaceutically acceptable acids and bases are well known in the art for forming acid addition salts, such as hydrochloric acid, sulfuric acid, hydrobromic acid, acetic acid, lactic acid, citric acid, or tartaric acid, and for forming basic salts, such as potassium hydroxide, sodium hydroxide, ammonium hydroxide, caffeine, and various amines. Methods for preparing suitable salts are well established in the art.
[0223] Typical acid addition salts include acetate, adipine, alginate, ascorbate, aspartate, benzenesulfonate, benzoate, bisulfate, borate, butyrate, camphorate, camphor sulfonate, citrate, cyclopentanepropionate, digluconate, dodecyl sulfate, ethanesulfonate, fumarate, glucoheptonate, glycerophosphate, hemisulfate, heptonate, hexanoate, hydrobromide, hydrochloride, hydroiodide, and 2-(optionally substituted) hydroxyethane.

[0224] For use as a treatment for a subject, a RAS(ON) inhibitor, or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof, can be formulated as a pharmaceutical or veterinary composition. Depending on the subject to be treated, the method of administration, and the type of treatment desired, e.g., prevention, prophylaxis, or therapy, the compound, or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof, is formulated in a manner consistent with these parameters. A summary of such techniques can be found in Remington: The Science and Practice of Pharmacy, 21st Edition, Lippincott Williams & Wilkins, (2005), and Encyclopedia of Pharmaceutical Technology, eds. J. Swarbrick and J.C. Boylan, 1988 - 1999, Marcel Dekker, New York, each of which is incorporated herein by reference in its entirety.
[0225] The compositions can be prepared according to conventional mixing, granulating, or coating methods, respectively, and the pharmaceutical compositions can contain from about 0.1% to about 99%, from about 5% to about 90%, or from about 1% to about 20% (weight % or volume %) of the compounds of the present disclosure, or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof. In some embodiments, the compounds described herein, or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof, can be present in an amount of up to 95% of the total weight of the composition, such as a pharmaceutical composition.
[0226] The compositions can be provided in dosage forms suitable for intra-articular, oral, parenteral (e.g., intravenous, intramuscular), rectal, dermal, subcutaneous, topical, transdermal, sublingual, nasal, intravaginal, intravesical, intraurethral, intrathecal, epidural, transtympanic, or intravitreal administration, or for injection, inhalation, or direct contact with the nasal, urogenital, reproductive, or oral mucosa. Thus, the pharmaceutical compositions can be, for example, in the form of tablets, capsules, pills, powders, granules, suspensions, emulsions, solutions, gels including hydrogels, pastes, ointments, creams, plasters, medicated drinks, osmotic delivery devices, suppositories, enemas, injection solutions, implants, sprays, preparations suitable for iontophoresis delivery, or aerosols. The compositions can be formulated according to conventional pharmaceutical practice.
[0227] The formulations can be prepared by methods suitable for systemic administration, or topical or local administration. Systemic formulations include those designed for injection (e.g., intramuscular, intravenous, or subcutaneous injection), or can be prepared for transdermal, transmucosal, or oral administration. Formulations generally include a diluent, and in some cases, adjuvants, buffers, preservatives, etc. The compound, or its pharmaceutically acceptable salt, can also be administered in liposomal compositions or as microemulsions.
[0228] For injection, the formulations can be prepared in conventional forms as solutions or suspensions, or as solid forms suitable for solution or suspension in a liquid prior to injection, or as emulsions. Suitable excipients include, for example, water, saline, dextrose, glycerol, etc. Such compositions can also contain certain amounts of non-toxic auxiliary substances such as wetting or emulsifying agents, pH buffers such as sodium acetate, sorbitan monolaurate, etc.
[0229] Various drug sustained-release systems have also been devised. See, for example, U.S. Patent No. 5,624,677. Systemic administration can also include relatively non-invasive methods, examples of which include the use of suppositories, transdermal patches, transmucosal delivery, and intranasal administration. Oral administration is also suitable for the compounds of the present disclosure, or their pharmaceutically acceptable salts. Suitable forms include syrups, capsules, and tablets, as understood in the art.
[0230] Each compound described herein, or its pharmaceutically acceptable salt, can be formulated by various methods known in the art. For example, the first agent and the second agent of a combination therapy can be formulated together or individually. Other modalities of combination therapy are described herein.
[0231] Individually formulated or separately manufactured drugs can be packaged together as a kit. Non-limiting examples include, but are not limited to, kits containing two pills, pills and powder, suppositories and liquids in vials, two topical creams, etc. Kits may include optional components that facilitate the administration of a unit dose to a target, such as vials for reconstituting powder forms, syringes for injection, customized IV delivery systems, inhalers, etc. In addition, unit dose kits may include instructions for use for the preparation or administration of the composition. Kits may be manufactured as single-use unit doses for a particular target (where the efficacy of individual compounds or their pharmaceutically acceptable salts changes at a constant concentration or as treatment progresses), as multiple-use doses for a specific target, or kits may contain multiple doses suitable for administration to multiple targets ("bulk packaging"). The components of the kit may be assembled into cartons, blister packs, bottles, tubes, etc.
[0232] Preparations for oral use include tablets containing the active ingredient(s) in a mixture with non-toxic, pharmaceutically acceptable excipients. These excipients may include, for example, inert diluents or fillers (e.g., sucrose, sorbitol, sugars, mannitol, microcrystalline cellulose, starch containing potato starch, calcium carbonate, sodium chloride, lactose, calcium phosphate, calcium sulfate, or sodium phosphate); granulators and disintegrants (e.g., cellulose derivatives containing microcrystalline cellulose, starch containing potato starch, croscarmellose sodium, alginate, or arginine); binders (e.g., sucrose, glucose, sorbitol, acacia, arginine, sodium alginate, gelatin, starch, pregelatinized starch, microcrystalline cellulose, aluminum magnesium silicate, sodium carboxymethylcellulose, methylcellulose, optionally substituted hydroxypropylmethylcellulose, ethylcellulose, polyvinylpyrrolidone, or polyethylene glycol); as well as smoothers, lubricants, and anti-adhesives (e.g., magnesium stearate, zinc stearate, stearic acid, silica, hydrogenated vegetable oil, or talc). Other pharmaceutically acceptable excipients may include colorants, flavoring agents, plasticizers, wetting agents, and buffering agents.
[0233] Two or more compounds can be mixed or dispensed in a tablet, capsule, or other vehicle. In one example, the first compound is contained inside the tablet and the second compound is on the outside, such that a substantial portion of the second compound is released before the first compound is released.
[0234] Formulations for oral use may be provided as chewable tablets, or as hard gelatin capsules in which the active ingredient is mixed with an inert solid diluent (e.g., potato starch, lactose, microcrystalline cellulose, calcium carbonate, calcium phosphate, or kaolin), or as soft gelatin capsules in which the active ingredient is mixed with water or an oily medium (e.g., peanut oil, liquid paraffin, or olive oil). Powders, granules, and pellets may be prepared using the above-mentioned components in conventional methods, such as using a mixer, fluidized bed apparatus, or spray dryer, for example, under tablets and capsules.
[0235] Dissolution or diffusion-controlled release can be achieved by appropriate coatings for tablet, capsule, pellet, or granule formation of the compound, or by incorporating the compound, or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof, into a suitable matrix. Controlled release coatings may include one or more of the above-mentioned coating materials, or, for example, shellac, beeswax, glycowax, castor wax, carnauba wax, stearyl alcohol, glyceryl monostearate, glyceryl distearate, glycerol palmitostearate, ethylcellulose, acrylic resin, dl-polylactic acid, cellulose acetate / butyrate, polyvinyl chloride, polyvinyl acetate, vinylpyrrolidone, polyethylene, polymethacrylate, methyl methacrylate, 2-(optionally substituted) hydroxyl methacrylate, methacrylate hydrogel, 1,3-butylene glycol, ethylene glycol methacrylate, or polyethylene glycol. In controlled-release matrix formulations, the matrix material may also include, for example, hydrated methylcellulose, carnauba wax and stearyl alcohol, Carbopol 934, silicone, glyceryl tristearate, methyl acrylate-methyl methacrylate, polyvinyl chloride, polyethylene, or halogenated fluorocarbons.
[0236] Liquid forms in which the compounds of this disclosure, or pharmaceutically acceptable salts thereof, and compositions may be incorporated for oral administration include aqueous solutions, suitably flavored syrups, aqueous or oily suspensions, and emulsions flavored with edible oils such as cottonseed oil, sesame oil, coconut oil, or peanut oil, as well as elixirs and similar pharmaceutical vehicles.
[0237] In general, when administered to humans, the oral dosage of any of the compounds of this disclosure, or any of its pharmaceutically acceptable salts, depends on the properties of the compound and can be readily determined by those skilled in the art. The dosage may be, for example, about 0.001 mg to about 2000 mg / day, about 1 mg to about 1000 mg / day, about 5 mg to about 500 mg / day, about 100 mg to about 1500 mg / day, about 500 mg to about 1500 mg / day, about 500 mg to about 2000 mg / day, or any range variable therein. In certain embodiments, RMC-6236 may be administered in doses of about 10 mg to 500 mg per day. In certain embodiments, RMC-6236 may be administered in doses of about 200 mg to 400 mg per day. In certain embodiments, RMC-6236 may be administered in doses of about 300 mg per day. In certain embodiments, RMC-6291 may be administered in doses of approximately 50 mg to 800 mg per day. In certain embodiments, RMC-6291 may be administered in doses of approximately 200 mg to 600 mg per day. In certain embodiments, RMC-6291 may be administered in doses of approximately 400 mg per day (e.g., 200 mg twice a day). In certain embodiments, RMC-9805 may be administered in doses of approximately 150 mg to 2000 mg per day. In certain embodiments, RMC-9805 may be administered in doses of approximately 1000 mg to 1400 mg per day.
[0238] In some embodiments, the pharmaceutical composition may further include additional compounds having antiproliferative (e.g., anticancer) activity. Depending on the method of administration, the compounds, or pharmaceutically acceptable salts thereof, are formulated into a suitable composition that allows for easy delivery. Each compound, or pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof, of the combination therapy may be formulated in various ways known in the art. For example, the first and second agents of the combination therapy may be formulated together or individually. Preferably, the first and second agents are formulated together for simultaneous or near-simultaneous administration of the drugs.
[0239] It will be understood that the compounds and pharmaceutical compositions of this disclosure can be formulated and used in combination therapy, that is, the compounds and pharmaceutical compositions can be formulated or administered simultaneously with, before, or after one or more other desired therapeutic agents or medical procedures. Specific combinations of therapies (therapeutic agents or procedures) using combination regimens will take into account the suitability of the desired therapeutic agent or procedure and the desired therapeutic effect to be achieved. Furthermore, it will be understood that the therapies used may achieve the desired effect for the same disorder or different effects (e.g., control of any adverse effects).
[0240] In combination therapy, each drug may be administered independently, as described herein, 1 to 4 times daily for 1 to 1 year, and may even be administered for the lifetime of the patient. Chronic long-term administration may be indicated.
[0241] In one embodiment, the disclosure relates to a method for treating a disease or disorder characterized by RAS activity abnormality (e.g., cancer or RAS disease). In some embodiments, the disease or disorder is cancer (e.g., cancer having one or more RAS mutations that cause RAS activity abnormality). A non-limiting example of non-cancerous RAS-related diseases or disorders is shown in Table 2. In each embodiment, the method generally involves administering to a subject a therapeutically effective dose of a RAS(ON) inhibitor in combination with one or more therapeutic agents. Preferred RAS(ON) inhibitors and additional therapeutic agents are described above.
[0242]
Table 2-1
[0243]
Table 2-2
[0244] The present disclosure also provides a method of treating cancer in a subject in need thereof, wherein the cancer comprises a RAS mutation. In one embodiment, the addition of a RAS(ON) inhibitor synergistically increases the activity of one or more additional therapeutic agents. To determine the synergistic effect of the combination, any method for determining whether two or more therapeutic agents, such as the methods described herein, exhibit a synergistic effect may be used.
[0245] Several mathematical models have been developed to determine whether two compounds act synergistically, i.e., beyond a mere additive effect. For example, Loewe additivity (Loewe (1928) Physiol. 27:47-187), Bliss independence (Bliss (1939) Ann. Appl. Biol. 26:585-615), Highest Single Agent, ZIP (Yadav et al (2015) Comput Struct Biotech J 13:504-513), and other models (Chou & Talalay (1984) Adv Enzyme Regul 22:27-55.#6382953, and Greco et al. (1995) Pharmacol Rev 47(2):331-85.#7568331) are models well-known in the pharmaceutical industry and can be used to calculate a "synergy score" indicating whether a synergistic effect has been detected and the magnitude of such a synergistic effect. Additional models for determining the synergistic effect of two compounds can be found in the examples below.
[0246] Generally, mathematical models use data obtained from single drug values to determine the predicted additive effect of a combination and compare it to the observed effect of the combination. If the observed effect is greater than the predicted effect, the combination is considered synergistic. For example, the Bliss independence model compares the observed combination response (Yo) to the predicted combination response (Yp) obtained under the assumption that there is no effect from drug-drug interactions. Typically, if Yo is greater than Yp, the combination effect is considered synergistic.
[0247] In some embodiments, as used herein, “synergistic effect” means a combination of a RAS(ON) inhibitor and one or more additional therapeutic agents, for example, any beneficial or desired outcome including in vitro and clinical outcomes or endpoints described herein, which is greater than the sum of the effects observed when the RAS(ON) inhibitor or the additional therapeutic agent is administered alone.
[0248] RAS(ON) inhibitors and one or more additional therapeutic agents may be administered simultaneously or sequentially. RAS(ON) inhibitors and one or more additional therapeutic agents may be administered as a single formulation or as separate formulations. In some embodiments, the RAS(ON) inhibitor is administered in a first period and one or more additional therapeutic agents are administered in a second period, with the first and second periods not overlapping and the first period preceding the second; or one or more additional therapeutic agents and the RAS(ON) inhibitor are administered in a second period, with the first and second periods not overlapping and the first period preceding the second.
