[0002] The present disclosure relates to the use of 1-[4-bromo-5-[1-ethyl-7-(methylamino)-2-oxo-1,2-dihydro-1,6-naphthyridin-3-yl]-2-fluorophenyl]-3-phenylurea or 1-(5-(7-amino-1-ethyl-2-oxo-1,2-dihydro-1,6-naphthyridin-3-yl)-4-bromo-2-fluorophenyl)-3-phenylurea in the treatment of cancer. Specifically, the present disclosure aims at a method of inhibiting PDGFR kinase and a method of treating cancers and disorders associated with the inhibition of PDGFR kinase, including adenocarcinoma of the lung, squamous cell lung cancer, glioblastoma, pediatric glioma, astrocytoma, sarcoma, gastrointestinal stromal tumor (GIST), malignant peripheral nerve sheath sarcoma, endometrial sarcoma, hypereosinophilic syndrome, eosinophilia associated acute myeloid leukemia, idiopathic hypereosinophilic syndrome, chronic eosinophilic leukemia, or lymphoblastic T cell lymphoma.
Background Art
[0003] Carcinogenic genomic changes of PDGFRα kinase, or overexpression of PDGFRα kinase, have been shown to cause human cancers.
[0004] Missense mutations of the PDGFRα kinase have also been shown to cause a GIST subgroup. Mutations of PDGFRα are the inducing factors of carcinogenesis in approximately 8-10% of GISTs (Corless, Modern Pathology 2014;27:Sl-16). The dominant mutation of PDGFRα is exon 18 D842V, but other exon 18 mutations including D846Y, N848K, and Y849K, as well as exon 18 insertion-deletion mutations (INDELs) including RD841-842KI, DI842-843-IM, and HDSN845-848P have also been reported. Furthermore, rare mutations have also been reported in exons 12 and 14 of PDGFRα (Corless et al, J Clinical Oncology 2005;23:5357-64).
[0005] Deletion mutations of exons 18 of PDGFRα, ΔD842-H845 and ΔI843-D846, have been reported in GIST (Lasota et al, Laboratory Investigation 2004;84:874-83).
[0006] Amplification or mutation of PDGRFα has also been reported in human tissues of malignant peripheral nerve sheath tumors (MPNST) (Holtkamp et al, Carcinogenesis 2006;27:664-71).
[0007] Amplification of PDGFRα has been reported in multiple skin lesions of undifferentiated pleomorphic sarcoma (Osio et al, J.Cutan Pathol 2017;44:477-79) and intimal sarcoma (Zhao et a l, Genes Chromosomes and Cancer,2002;34:48-57; Dewaele et al, Cancer Res 2010;70:7304-14). Amplification of PDGFRα has been associated with a subset of lung cancer patients. 4q12 contains the gene locus of PDGFRα and is amplified in 3 - 7% of lung adenocarcinomas and 8 - 10% of lung squamous cell carcinomas (Ramos et al, Cancer Biol Ther. 2009;8:2042---50; Heist et al, J Thorac Oncol. 2012;7:924 - 33).
[0008] Mutations in IDH proteins produce a new oncometabolite, 2 - hydroxyglutarate, which interferes with iron - dependent hydroxylases, including the TET family of 5’-methylcytosine hydroxylases. TET enzymes catalyze an important step in the removal of DNA methylation. Flavahan et al. showed that human IDH - mutant gliomas exhibit hypermethylation at the binding sites of DNA cohesin and CCCTC - binding factor (CTCF), thereby impairing the binding of this methylation - sensitive insulator protein (Flavahan et al., Nature 2016;529:110). A decrease in CTCF binding has been associated with the loss of insulation between topological domains and abnormal gene activation. Specifically, the disappearance of CTCF at domain boundaries allows structural enhancers to interact abnormally with PDGFRA, a receptor tyrosine kinase gene that is an important glioma oncogene. Therefore, IDH - mutated cancers may be prone to mediate oncogenic events through the activation and overexpression of wild - type PDGFRα.
[0009] PDGFRα amplification is common in pediatric and adult high - grade astrocytomas and identifies a poor - prognosis group in IDH1 - mutant glioblastomas. PDGFRα amplification was frequent in pediatric (29.3%) and adult (20.9%) tumors. PDGFRα amplification has been reported to be associated with grade elevation and, in particular, a poor prognosis in IDH1 - mutant de novo GBM (Phillips et al, Brain Pathology, 2013;23:565 - 73).
[0010] The PDGFRα locus in this PDGFRα-amplified glioma has been shown to exhibit an intragenic deletion rearrangement of exons 8 and 9 of PDGFRα. This intragenic deletion is prevalent and present in 40% of glioblastoma multiforme (GBM) tumors that exhibit PDGFRα amplification. Tumors with this rearrangement exhibit histological features of oligodendroglioma, and the intragenic deletion of PDGFRα exons 8 and 9 has been shown to exhibit increased structural tyrosine kinase activity (Ozawa et al, Genes and Development 2010;24:2205-18).
[0011] The FIP1L1-PDGFRA fusion protein is oncogenic in a subset of patients with hypereosinophilic syndrome (Elling et al, Blood 2011;117;2935). The FIP1L1-PDGFRα fusion has also been identified in eosinophilic acute myeloid leukemia and lymphoblastic T-cell lymphoma (Metzgeroth et al, Leukemia 2007;21:1183-88).
[0012] In summary, mutations, deletions, rearrangements, and amplifications of the PDGFRα gene have been associated with many solid and hematological cancers. Given the complex function of the PDGFRα gene and the potential utility of PDGFRα inhibitors in the treatment of various solid and hematological cancers, there is a need for inhibitors with good therapeutic performance.

[0057] In the use of the pharmaceutical compositions of the compounds described herein, the pharmaceutically acceptable carrier can be either solid or liquid. Solid forms include powders, tablets, dispersible granules, capsules, cachets, and suppositories. Powders and tablets may consist of about 5 to about 95 percent active ingredient. Suitable solid carriers are well known in the art. Examples are magnesium carbonate, magnesium stearate, talc, sugar or lactose. Tablets, powders, cachets and capsules can be used as solid dosage forms suitable for oral administration. Examples of pharmaceutically acceptable carriers and of methods for manufacturing various compositions can be found in A. Gennaro (ed.), Remington’s Pharmaceutical Sciences, 18th Edition, (1990), Mack Publishing Co., Easton, Pa, which is hereby incorporated by reference in its entirety.
[0058] Preparations in liquid form include solutions, suspensions and emulsions. For example, for parenteral injection, water or water-propylene glycol solutions, or for oral solutions, suspensions and emulsions, such as the addition of sweetening and opacifying agents. Preparations in liquid form also include solutions for nasal administration.
[0059] Liquids, particularly injection compositions, can be prepared, for example, by dissolution, dispersion, etc. For example, the disclosed compounds are dissolved or mixed in a pharmaceutically acceptable solvent such as water, physiological saline, aqueous dextrose, glycerol, ethanol, etc., thereby forming an isotonic solution or suspension for injection. Proteins such as albumin, chylomicron particles, or serum proteins can be used to solubilize the disclosed compounds.
[0060] Parenteral injection administration is generally used for subcutaneous injection, intramuscular injection, or intravenous injection and infusion. The injectable substance can be prepared in either solution or suspension, or in the conventional form of a solid suitable for dissolution in a liquid prior to injection.
[0061] Aerosol preparations suitable for inhalation can also be used. These preparations may include solutions and solids in powder form, which may be used in combination with a pharmaceutically acceptable carrier such as an inert compressed gas such as nitrogen.
[0062] Also, for use, solid preparations intended to be converted immediately before use into liquid preparations for either oral or parenteral administration are expected. Such liquid forms include solutions, suspensions and emulsions. As described above, the compounds described herein can be used alone or in combination with other agents. For example, the compounds can be administered together with a cancer target therapeutic agent, a cancer target biologic, an immune checkpoint inhibitor, or a chemotherapeutic agent. In another embodiment, Compound A or Compound B can be used alone or singly. The agents can be administered together with the compounds described herein or sequentially with those compounds in combination therapy. Combination therapy
[0063]
[0064] Combination therapy can be achieved by administering two or more agents, in which case each of those agents is formulated and administered separately, or can be achieved by administering two or more agents in a single formulation. Other combinations are also included in combination therapy. For example, two agents can be formulated together and administered in combination with a separate formulation containing a third agent. In combination therapy, two or more agents can be administered simultaneously, but this is not essential. For example, administration of the first agent (or combination of agents) can precede administration of the second agent (or combination of agents) by minutes, hours, days, or weeks. Thus, two or more agents can be administered within minutes of each other, or within 1, 2, 3, 6, 9, 12, 15, 18, or 24 hours of each other, or within 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 12, 14 days of each other, or within 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9 weeks or more of each other. In some cases, even longer intervals are possible. In many cases, it is desirable but not essential for two or more agents used in combination therapy to be present in the patient's body simultaneously.
[0065] Combination therapy can also include administration of one or more of the agents used in combination two or more times using the component agents in different orders. For example, if agent X and agent Y are used in combination, they can be administered one or more times in any combination, consecutively. For example, they can be administered in the order of X-Y-X, X-X-Y, Y-X-Y, Y-Y-X, X-X-Y-Y, etc.

Section 1 - Comparison of important structures for biological activity using WO / 2008 / 034008 and WO / 2013 / 184119.
[0075] WO / 2008 / 034008 describes various kinases that cause or are involved in the pathogenesis of various proliferative diseases, and these kinases include BRaf, CRaf, Abl, KDR (VEGFR2), EGFR / HER1, HER2, HER3, c-MET, FLT-3, PDGFR-α, PDGFR-β, p38, c-KIT, JAK2 family. The disclosure of this PCT application clearly shows selective inhibition against Braf and CRaf kinases using analogs of Compound A and Compound B described herein. At the same time, WO / 2013 / 184119 describes the inhibition of mutant c-KIT using Compounds A and B. However, WO / 2013 / 184119 states that mutations in c-KIT and PDGFRα are mutually exclusive in GIST It also describes that this is because most GISTs have primary activating mutations in genes encoding closely related RTKs c-KIT (75 - 80% of GISTs) or PDGFRα (8% of non-c-KIT mutant GISTs) in a mutually exclusive manner.
[0076] In the present application, it has been found that the inevitable mutual exclusivity between c-KIT and PDGFRα mutations in GIST patients is reconciled, and compounds A and B can treat both patient groups. Indeed, it was unexpected that compounds A and B, which are known to inhibit c-KIT mutants, also inhibit wild-type and oncogenic mutant PDGFR kinases, oncogenic fusion protein-type PDGFRα kinases, and cancers of the PDGFRα amplification type, which was the exact opposite of the past disclosure contents of WO / 2008 / 034008 and WO / 2013 / 184119. The experimental data described below further reinforce this discovery. The direct application of this discovery is the treatment of resistant-type cancers described herein and cancer patient subgroups of the PDGFR-induced type.
Examples
[0077] Biological data It was an unexpected discovery that compounds A and B inhibit wild-type and oncogenic mutant PDGFR kinases, oncogenic fusion protein-type PDGFRα kinases, and cancers of the PDGFRα mutant or amplification type. The analysis of this unexpected discovery was conducted in biochemical assays, cell assays, and in vivo clinical evaluations in cancer patients.
[0078] The present disclosure is further illustrated by the following examples, which are not to be construed as limiting the disclosure in scope or spirit with respect to the specific procedures described herein. The examples are presented to illustrate specific embodiments, and it should be understood that there is no intention to limit the scope of the present disclosure by the examples. Furthermore, it should be understood that various other embodiments, modifications, and equivalents that may be suggested to those skilled in the art without departing from the spirit of the present disclosure and / or the scope of the appended claims are reclassified. Example 1. Inhibition of the Enzyme Activity of Wild-Type PDGFRα Biochemical Assay against PDGFRα (GenBank Accession Number NP_006197)
[0079] The activity of the PDGFRα kinase was determined spectroscopically using a coupled pyruvate kinase / lactate dehydrogenase assay that continuously monitors the ATP hydrolysis-dependent oxidation of NADH (e.g., Schindler et al. Science (2000) 289:1938-1942, which is incorporated herein by reference in its entirety). The assay was performed in a 384-well plate using an assay buffer (90 mM Tris, pH 7.5, 18 mM MgCl2, 1 mM DTT, and 0.2% octyl-glucoside) solution of 4.8 nM PDGFRA (Decode Biostructure, Bainbridge Island, WA), 5 units of pyruvate kinase, 7 units of lactate dehydrogenase, 1 mM phosphoenolpyruvate, 0.28 mM NADH, 2.5 mg / mL PolyEY, and 0.5 mM ATP (final volume was 100 μL). Inhibition of PDGFRA was measured after addition of serially diluted test compounds (final assay concentration of 1% DMSO). The decrease in absorption at 340 nm on a multimode microplate reader (BioTek, Winooski, VT) was continuously monitored at 30 °C for 6 hours. The reaction rate was calculated using a time frame of 1-2 hours. The reaction rate at each concentration of the compound was converted to an inhibition percentage using a control (i.e., reaction without the test compound and reaction with a known inhibitor). IC50 The value was calculated by fitting a four-parameter S-shaped curve to the data using Prism (GraphPad, San Diego, California). Protein sequence of PDGFRα (residues 550 - 1089. GST tag attached to the N-terminus; Genbank accession number 1). [Chemical Structure]
[0080] Compound A inhibited the enzymatic activity of recombinant wild-type PDGFRα at an IC 50 value of 12 nM. Compound B inhibited the enzymatic activity of recombinant wild-type PDGFRα at an IC 50 value of 6 nM. Example 2. Inhibition of the enzymatic activity of D842V mutant PDGFRα Biochemical assay against PDGFRα D842V (GenBank accession number NP_006197)
[0081] The activity of the PDGFRα D842V kinase was determined spectroscopically using a coupled pyruvate kinase / lactate dehydrogenase assay that continuously monitors the ATP hydrolysis-dependent oxidation of NADH (e.g., Schindler et al. Science (2000) 289:1938-1942, which is incorporated herein by reference in its entirety). The assay was performed in 384-well plates (final volume 100 μL) using an assay buffer (90 mM Tris, pH 7.5, 18 mM MgCl2, 1 mM DTT and 0.2% octyl-glucoside) solution of 3 nM PDGFRA D842V (Invitrogen, Carlsbad, CA), 5 units of pyruvate kinase, 7 units of lactate dehydrogenase, 1 mM phosphoenolpyruvate, 0.28 mM NADH, 2.5 mg / mL PolyEY and 0.5 mM ATP. Inhibition of PDGFRA D842V was measured after addition of serially diluted test compounds (final assay concentration of 1% DMSO). Decreases in absorption at 340 nm were continuously monitored at 30 °C for 6 hours on a multimode microplate reader (BioTek, Winooski, VT). Reaction rates were calculated using a time frame of 2-3 hours. The reaction rate at each concentration of the compound was converted to a percentage of inhibition using controls (i.e., reactions without test compound and reactions with known inhibitors). IC 50 values were calculated by fitting a 4-parameter sigmoidal curve to the data using Prism (GraphPad, San Diego, CA). The protein sequence of PDGFRα D842V (residues 550-1089. HIS-GST tag attached to the N-terminus; Genbank accession number 2).
Chemical formula
[0082] Compound A inhibited the enzymatic activity of recombinant D842V mutant PDGFRα with an IC50 value of 42 nM. Compound B inhibited the enzymatic activity of recombinant D842V mutant PDGFRα with an IC50 inhibited by the value. Example 3. Inhibition of the Enzyme Activity of Wild-Type PDGFRβ Biochemical assay against PDGFRB (GenBank accession number NP_002600)
[0083] The activity of PDGFRβ kinase was determined spectroscopically using a coupled pyruvate kinase / lactate dehydrogenase assay that continuously monitors the ATP hydrolysis-dependent oxidation of NADH (e.g., Schindler et al. Science (2000) 289:1938 - 1942, which is incorporated herein by reference in its entirety). The assay was performed in a 384-well plate using an assay buffer (90 mM Tris, pH 7.5, 18 mM MgCl2, 1 mM DTT, and 0.2% octyl-glucoside) solution of 9 nM PDGFRB (Decode Biostructure, Bainbridge Island, WA), 5 units of pyruvate kinase, 7 units of lactate dehydrogenase, 1 mM phosphoenolpyruvate, 0.28 mM NADH, 2.5 mg / mL PolyEY and 0.5 mM ATP (final volume 100 μL). Inhibition of PDGFRB was measured after addition of serially diluted test compounds (final assay concentration of 1% DMSO). The decrease in absorption at 340 nm was continuously monitored at 30 °C for 6 hours on a multimode microplate reader (BioTek, Winooski, VT). The reaction rate was calculated using a time frame of 2 - 3 hours. The reaction rate at each concentration of the compound was converted to an inhibition percentage using a control (i.e., reaction without the test compound and reaction with a known inhibitor). IC 50 values were calculated by fitting a four-parameter sigmoidal curve to the data using Prism (GraphPad, San Diego, CA). The protein sequence of PDGFRβ (residues 557 - 1106.

Treatment of Human Cancer Patients with the PDGFRα D842V Mutation
[0100] Clinical trial protocol DCC-2618-01-001 “A Multi-center Phase I Open-label Study to Evaluate Compound A with Respect to Safety, Tolerability, and Pharmacokinetics in Patients with Advanced Malignancies” is the first human trial for Compound A (ClinicalTrials.gov Identifier: NCT02571036). The purpose of this dose-escalation study is to evaluate the safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics (PK), pharmacodynamics (PD), and preliminary anti-tumor activity of Compound A. The investigational drug is dosed escalated within the range of 20 mg BID to 200 mg BID and administered orally either once or twice a day. Preliminary anti-tumor activity was measured by CT scan every cycle (every 56 days) according to RECIST 1.1. Pharmacodynamic effects were measured as a decrease in the mutant allele frequency (MAF) in cell-free plasma (cf) DNA and analyzed using the Guardant 360 v2.9 or v2.10 (Guardant Health, Redwood City, CA), a next-generation sequencing panel of 73 genes.
[0101] All patients were assumed to have progressive disease against standard treatment and would progress immediately without treatment. Three patients with PDGFRα-mutated gastrointestinal stromal tumors (GISTs) were enrolled in this study. The PDGFRα D842V mutation was identified in each patient by tumor biopsy. Based on non-clinical data and pharmacokinetic data available from the DCC-2618-01-001 study, a dose level of ≥50 mg BID (total daily dose equal to 100 mg) was sufficient to result in tumor control, i.e., growth arrest in these progressive sarcomas of PDGFRα D842V-mutated tumors in patients with GIST. Of the three evaluable patients, two were enrolled at the target effective dose levels (150 mg QD and 100 mg BID) or above. The other patient was enrolled at 30 mg BID and progressed after two treatment cycles of 28 days. The patient at 100 mg BID is currently on cycle 11 (>40 weeks) and continues to benefit from treatment. The most recent tumor evaluation confirmed "stable disease" according to RECIST 1.1. Tumor evaluations throughout the study included the most recent evaluation after cycle 9 (36 weeks) and revealed some tumor shrinkage (5 - 10%). The patient treated at the 150 mg QD dose level was on cycle 6 (>20 weeks) and ongoing, stable disease by RECIST, with some tumor shrinkage observed. These two patients had each received tyrosine kinase inhibitor therapy 1 and 3 times in the past.
[0102] To date, cfDNA follow-up data on the plasma PDGFRα D842V mutant allele frequency are available only for patients on 100 mg BID. The PDGFRα D842V mutation was not detected by cfDNA at baseline. However, on Day 1 (8 weeks) after Cycle 3 of treatment, a frequency of 0.59% was detected. The non-detection of the D842V mutation at baseline may be due to the limitations of the data interpretation performance. However, the fact that the mutation present in the tumor tissue is "undetectable", i.e., below the detection limit at two consecutive analysis points (Day 1 of Cycle 5 (16 weeks) and Day 1 of Cycle 7 (24 weeks)), strongly supports the suppression of this PDGFRα D842V mutation by treating human cancer patients with Compound A. Example 11. Treatment of human glioblastoma patients with PDGFRα amplification
[0103] The clinical trial protocol DCC-2618-01-001 "A Multicenter Phase I Open-Label Study to Evaluate Compound A with Respect to Safety, Tolerability, and Pharmacokinetics in Patients with Progressive Malignancies" is the first human trial of Compound A (ClinicalTrials.gov Identifier: NCT02571036). The purpose of this dose escalation study is to evaluate the safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics (PK), pharmacodynamics (PD), and preliminary antitumor activity of Compound A. The investigational drug is dosed escalated within the range of 20 mg BID to 200 mg BID and administered orally either once or twice a day. The preliminary antitumor activity was measured by CT scan every cycle according to the RANO (Revised Assessment in Neuro-Oncology) criteria and then every 3 cycles (every 56 or 84 days). The pharmacodynamic effect was measured as a decrease in circulating tumor cells (CTC). Whole blood was enriched for CTCs in OncoQuick tubes. The CTC layer was incubated with an adenovirus that replicates and expresses GFP in cells with high levels of telomerase (Oncolys BioPharma Inc.). The cells were then incubated with a fluorescently labeled antibody, fixed, and DAPI stained. Cells positive for DAPI, GFP, PDGFRα, and GFAP fluorescence were counted as circulating glioblastoma tumor cells using a BioTek Cytation 5 imaging device. Glial fibrillary acidic protein (GFAP) clearly originates from glial cells.
[0104] All patients were considered to have progressive disease against standard treatment and would progress immediately without treatment. One patient with PDGFRα-amplified glioblastoma (GBM; 6x amplification, 12 copies) was enrolled in this study at a dose level of 20 mg BID. The patient was first treated with a combination of radiotherapy and chemotherapy and then treated with temozolomide alone and progressed after 3 months. The GBM patient is currently ongoing in Cycle 19 (>17 months, during the study) and continues to benefit from the treatment. After tumor evaluation at Cycle 12 (48 weeks), the patient has a "partial response" according to the RANO criteria. Figure 1 shows the MRI scans at baseline (Figure 1A) and after Cycle 12 (Figure 1C). Figure 1B provides additional evidence of tumor reduction after Cycle 9.
[0105] The relevance of PDGFRα amplification was evaluated in high-grade astrocytomas (HGAs), including pediatric and adult glioblastomas. In an initial large-scale study on human tissues, a significant association of HGA with PDGFRα amplification has been proposed, and it has been suggested that PDGFRα amplification is associated with increased grade and poor prognosis in IDH1-mutant de novo GBM (Philips et al., Brain Pathol. (2013) 23(5):565-73, which is incorporated herein by reference in its entirety). Dunn et al. provided additional illumination that PDGFRα amplification is an inducing factor for genomic modification of GBM (Dunn et al., Genes Dev. (2012) 26(8):756-84). Based on these findings, the pharmacodynamic effect measured as a decrease in CTCs observed in GBM patients after treatment with Compound A strongly supports that the partial response observed in GBM patients is the result of treating PDGFRα-amplified tumors with Compound A. Double-positive CTCs (PDGFRα+ / GFAP+) were first measured at Cycle 7 (28 weeks), and the frequency was 2.22 CTC / mL. The frequency decreased to 1.11 and 0.58 CTC / mL at Cycle 13 (52 weeks) and Cycle 17 (68 weeks), respectively. Example 12 Compound B is biosynthetically formed after oral administration of Compound A.
[0106] Clinical trial protocol DCC-2618-01-001 "A multi-center, Phase I, open-label study to evaluate the safety, tolerability, and pharmacokinetics of Compound A in patients with progressive malignancies" is the first human study on Compound A (ClinicalTrials.gov Identifier: NCT02571036). The purpose of this dose-escalation study is to evaluate the safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics (PK), pharmacodynamics (PD) and preliminary anti-tumor activity of Compound A. The investigational drug is dosed escalated within the range of 20 mg BID to 200 mg BID and administered orally either once or twice a day. By orally administering Compound A to patients, systemic exposure of Compound A and in vivo transformation of Compound A to Compound B by in vivo N-demethylation occur. For pharmacokinetic (PK) analysis, blood samples were collected on Day 15 of Cycle 1, immediately before dosing Compound A in the morning, and at 0.5, 1, 2, 4, 6, 8, and 10 - 12 hours after dosing. Compound A and its active metabolite, Compound B, were evaluated using a validated bioanalytical method. Phoenix The plasma concentrations for the time data were analyzed using Phoenix WinNonlin version 6.3, and standard non-compartmental PK parameters were calculated. All PK calculations were completed using the scheduled sample collection times.
[0107] For example, when Compound A is administered to a patient cohort at a dose of 150 mg twice a day or 150 mg once a day, a stable exposure state occurs for both Compound A and Compound B on Day 15 of Cycle 1, as shown in the following table.
[0108] For a cohort of 5 patients, oral administration of compound A at a dose of 150 mg BID (twice daily) for 15 days resulted in exposure to compound A with an average Cmax = 1,500 ng / mL and an average area under the curve (AUC) = 11,400 ng*h / mL. This 15-day administration resulted in in vivo changes to compound B with an average Cmax = 1,520 ng / mL and an average AUC = 15,100 ng*h / mL. For a cohort of 4 patients, oral administration of compound A at a dose of 150 mg QD (once daily) for 15 days resulted in exposure to compound A with an average Cmax = 861 ng / mL and an average area under the curve (AUC) = 8,070 ng*h / mL. This 15-day administration resulted in in vivo changes to compound B with an average Cmax = 794 ng / mL and an average AUC = 8,600 ng*h / mL. Table 1
