[0004] Background of the Invention Kirsten rat sarcoma viral oncogene homolog (KRAS) is a central component of the RAS / MAPK signaling pathway, an intracellular network of proteins that transduce extracellular growth factor signals to regulate cell proliferation, differentiation, and survival. Mutations in KRAS are commonly found in solid tumors and can result in changes to several amino acids, including glycine 12 (G12), glycine 13, and glutamine 61, which are associated with tumorigenesis and aggressive tumor growth (Der et al. Proc Natl Acad Sci USA 1982;79:3637-40; Parada et al. Nature 1982;297:474-8; Santos et al. Nature 1982;298:343-7; Taparowsky et al. Nature 1982;300:762-5; Capon et al. Nature 1983;304:507-13). Oncogenic KRAS mutations resulting in a G12 to cysteine ​​(G12C) change are common in non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) (approximately 12%), colorectal cancer (CRC) (approximately 4%), and other tumor types (≤4%) (Bailey et al. Nature 2016;531:47-52; Campbell et al. Nat Genet 2016;48:607-16; Giannakis et al. Cell Reports 2016;15:857-65; Hartmaier et al. Genome Med 2017;9(16); Jordan et al. Cancer Discov 2017;7:596-609).

[0005] KRas, including NSCLC, CRC, and other solid tumors G12C Advanced tumors with KRas mutations (hereafter referred to as KRas G12C KRas-positive tumors are incurable and have a poor prognosis (Roman et al. 2018; Wan et al. 2019). G12C Patients with -positive cancer may derive limited benefit from selected chemotherapy and targeted therapies, thus limiting the effective available treatment options (Roman et al. 2018).

[0006] Therefore, KRas G12C There is a need for effective therapies and combinations to treat cancers such as NSCLC that harbor mutations. Summary of the Invention

[0029] The terms "inhibit" and "reduce," or any variation of these terms, include any measurable reduction or complete inhibition to achieve a desired result. For example, there may be a decrease in activity compared to normal of about, up to about, or at least about 5%, 10%, 15%, 20%, 25%, 30%, 35%, 40%, 45%, 50%, 55%, 60%, 65%, 70%, 75%, 80%, 85%, 90%, 95%, 99%, or more, or any variable of these ranges.

[0030] The terms "PD-L1 binding antagonist," "PD-L1 inhibitor," and "PD-L1 blocking antibody" are used interchangeably herein and refer to a molecule that reduces, blocks, inhibits, abolishes, or prevents signaling resulting from the interaction of PD-L1 with any one or more of its binding partners, e.g., PD-1 and / or B7-1. In some examples, a PD-L1 binding antagonist is a molecule that inhibits the binding of PD-L1 to its binding partners. In a specific aspect, a PD-L1 binding antagonist inhibits the binding of PD-L1 to PD-1 and / or B7-1. In some examples, PD-L1 binding antagonists include anti-PD-L1 antibodies, antigen-binding fragments thereof, immunoadhesins, fusion proteins, oligopeptides, and other molecules that reduce, block, inhibit, abrogate, or prevent signaling resulting from the interaction of PD-L1 with one or more of its binding partners, e.g., PD-1 and / or B7-1. In one example, the PD-L1 binding antagonist reduces the negative costimulatory signal mediated by or through cell surface proteins expressed on T lymphocytes via signaling through PD-L1, such that dysfunctional T cells become non-dysfunctional (e.g., enhance effector responses to antigen recognition). In some examples, the PD-L1 binding antagonist binds to PD-L1. In some examples, the PD-L1 binding antagonist is an anti-PD-L1 antibody (e.g., an anti-PD-L1 antagonist antibody). Exemplary anti-PD-L1 antagonist antibodies include atezolizumab, MDX-1105, MEDI4736 (durvalumab), MSB0010718C (avelumab), SHR-1316, CS1001, embafolimab, TQB2450, ZKAB001, LP-002, CX-072, IMC-001, KL-A167, APL-502, cosibelimab, lodapolimab, FAZ053, TG-1501, BGB-A333, BCD-135, AK-106, LDP, GR1405, HLX20, MSB2311, RC98, PDL-GEX, KD036, KY1003, YBL-007, and HS-636. In a preferred embodiment, the PD-L1 binding antagonist is atezolizumab.

[0031] The terms "programmed death-ligand 1" and "PD-L1," as used herein, refer to native-sequence human PD-L1 polypeptide. Native-sequence PD-L1 polypeptide is provided by Uniprot Accession No. Q9NZQ7. For example, native-sequence PD-L1 may have the amino acid sequence set forth in Uniprot Accession No. Q9NZQ7-1 (isoform 1). In another example, native-sequence PD-L1 may have the amino acid sequence set forth in Uniprot Accession No. Q9NZQ7-2 (isoform 2). In yet another example, native-sequence PD-L1 may have the amino acid sequence set forth in Uniprot Accession No. Q9NZQ7-3 (isoform 3). PD-L1 is also referred to in the art as "programmed cell death 1 ligand 1," "PDCD1LG1," "CD274," "B7-H," and "PDL1."

[0032] The Kabat numbering system is commonly used when referring to residues within the variable domain (approximately residues 1-107 of the light chain and residues 1-113 of the heavy chain) (e.g., Kabat et al., Sequences of Immunological Interest. 5th Ed. Public Health Service, National Institutes of Health, Bethesda, Md. (1991)). The "EU numbering system" or "EU index" is commonly used when referring to residues in immunoglobulin heavy chain constant regions (e.g., the EU index reported in Kabat et al., supra). "EU index as in Kabat" refers to the residue numbering of a human IgG1 EU antibody.

[0033] For purposes of this specification, "atezolizumab" is an Fc-engineered humanized aglycosylated IgG1 kappa immunoglobulin that binds to PD-L1 and comprises the heavy chain sequence of SEQ ID NO: 1 and the light chain sequence of SEQ ID NO: 2. Atezolizumab contains a single amino acid substitution (asparagine to alanine) at position 297 of the heavy chain (N297A) using EU numbering of Fc region amino acid residues, resulting in an aglycosylated antibody with minimal binding to Fc receptors. Atezolizumab is also listed in WHO Drug Information (International Nonproprietary Names for Pharmaceutical Substances), Proposed INN:List 112, Vol. 28, No. 4, published January 16, 2015 (see page 485).

[0034] In some examples, the anti-PD-L1 antibody comprises (a) a VH comprising SEQ ID NO:1 or an amino acid sequence having at least 95% sequence identity (e.g., at least 95%, 96%, 97%, 98%, or 99% sequence identity) to the sequence of SEQ ID NO:1; (b) a VL comprising SEQ ID NO:2 or an amino acid sequence having at least 95% sequence identity (e.g., at least 95%, 96%, 97%, 98%, or 99% sequence identity) to the sequence of SEQ ID NO:2; or (c) a VH described in (a) and a VL described in (b).

[0035] In one embodiment, the anti-PD-L1 antibody comprises atezolizumab, which comprises: (a) Heavy chain (VH) amino acid sequence: EVQLVESGGGLVQPGGSLRLSCAASGFTFSDSWIHWVRQAPGKGLEWVAWISPYGGSTYYADSVKGRFTISADTSKNTAYLQMNSLRAEDTAVYYCARRHWPGGFDYWGQGTLVTVSSASTKGPSVFPLAPSSKSTSGGTAALGCLVKDYFPEPVTVSWNSGALTSGVHTFPAVLQSSGLYSLSSVVTVPSSSLGTQTYICNVNHKPSNTKVDKKVEPKS CDKTHTCPPCPAPELLGGPSVFLFPPKPKDTLMISRTPEVTCVVVDVSHEDPEVKFNWYVDGVEVHNAKTKPREEQYASTYRVVSVLTVLHQDWLNGKEYKCKVSNKALPAPIEKTISKAKGQPREPQVYTLPPSREEMTKNQVSLTCLVKGFYPSDIAVEWESNGQPENNYKTTPPVLDSDGSFFLYSKLTVDKSRWQQGNVFSCSVMHEALHNHYTQKSLSLSPG (SEQ ID NO: 1), and (b) Light chain (VL) amino acid sequence: DIQMTQSPSSLSASVGDRVTITCRASQDVSTAVAWYQQKPGKAPKLLIYSASFLYSGVPSRFSGSGSGTDFTLTISSLQPEDFATYYCQQYLYHPATFGQGTKVEIKRTVAAPSVFIFPPSDEQLKSGTASVVCLLNNFYPREAKVQWKVDNALQSGNSQESVTEQDSKDSTYSLSSTLTLSKADYEKHKVYACEVTHQGLSSPVTKSFNRGEC (SEQ ID NO: 2).

[0036] The term "cancer" refers to a disease caused by the uncontrolled division of abnormal cells in a part of the body. In one example, the cancer is lung cancer. In another example, the cancer is NSCLC. As used herein, "cancer" refers to a disease caused by a KRas G12C Refers to cancer characterized by the presence of mutations.

[0037] As used herein, "treating" includes effective cancer treatment with an effective amount of a therapeutic agent (e.g., atezolizumab, or Compound 1 or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof), or a combination of therapeutic agents (e.g., atezolizumab and Compound 1 or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof). The treatment may be a first-line treatment (e.g., the patient may not have been previously treated or has not received prior systemic therapy) or a second-line or subsequent treatment. For example, a patient is successfully "treated" if one or more symptoms associated with cancer as described herein are reduced or eliminated, including, but not limited to, a reduction in (or destruction of) the proliferation of cancerous cells, a reduction in symptoms resulting from the disease, an improvement in the quality of life of those afflicted with the disease, a reduction in the dose of other medications required to treat the disease, and / or an increase in the patient's survival.

[0038] The term "delaying progression" of a disease refers to putting off, preventing, delaying, slowing, stabilizing, and / or postponing the onset of a cancer as described herein. This delay can be of varying lengths of time, depending on the cancer as described herein being treated and / or the patient's medical history. As will be apparent to one of skill in the art, a sufficient or significant delay can effectively encompass prevention, in that the patient does not develop cancer.

[0039] As used herein, "effective amount" refers to the amount of a therapeutic agent (e.g., atezolizumab and / or Compound 1 or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof) described herein that achieves a therapeutic result. In some examples, an effective amount of a therapeutic agent or combination of therapeutic agents is the amount of the agent or combination of agents that achieves the clinical endpoint provided herein. The effective amount herein may vary depending on factors such as the patient's disease state, age, sex, and weight, and the ability of the agent to elicit a desired response in the patient. An effective amount is also one in which the therapeutically beneficial effects outweigh any toxic or adverse effects of the treatment. In some embodiments, an effective amount of a drug may have the effect of reducing the number of cancer cells, reducing tumor size, inhibiting (i.e., slowing or stopping) cancer cell invasion into peripheral organs, inhibiting (i.e., slowing or stopping) tumor metastasis, inhibiting (i.e., slowing or stopping) tumor growth, and / or alleviating one or more symptoms associated with a disease. An effective amount can be administered in one or more administrations. An effective amount of a drug, compound, pharmaceutical composition, or combination therapy described herein can be an amount sufficient to effect therapeutic treatment directly or indirectly.

[0040] "Objective response rate" or "ORR" refers to the proportion of patients who achieve a confirmed complete or partial response on two consecutive occasions ≥ 4 weeks apart, as determined by the investigator according to RECIST v1.1.

[0041] "Duration of response" or "DOR" refers to the time from the first occurrence of a documented objective response to the date of investigator-determined disease progression per RECIST v1.1, or death from any cause, whichever occurs first.

[0042] "Progression-free survival" or "PFS" refers to the time from enrollment to the occurrence of first documented disease progression or death from any cause, whichever occurs first, as determined by the investigator using RECIST v1.1.

[0043] As used herein, "complete response" and "CR" refer to the disappearance of all target lesions and normalization of tumor marker levels (if applicable).

[0044] As used herein, "partial response" and "PR" refer to the persistence of one or more non-target lesions and / or maintenance of tumor marker levels above normal limits (where applicable). PR may also refer to a ≥ 30% reduction in the sum of the diameters of target lesions in the absence of CR, new lesions, and overt progression in non-target lesions.

[0045] "Administration period" or "cycle" refers to a period that includes administration of one or more agents described herein (i.e., Compound 1 or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof, and atezolizumab), as well as any period that does not include administration of one or more agents described herein. For example, a cycle can be a total of 21 days, with each day of the cycle including administration of one or more agents described herein (e.g., Compound 1 or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof, and atezolizumab). In another example, a cycle can be 28 days in total length, with administration of one or more agents described herein (e.g., Compound 1 or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof, and atezolizumab) for 21 days and a 7-day rest period. A "rest period" refers to a period during which at least one of the agents described herein (e.g., Compound 1 or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof, and atezolizumab) is not administered. In one embodiment, a rest period refers to a period during which none of the agents described herein (e.g., Compound 1 or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof, and atezolizumab) is administered. The rest periods provided herein may optionally include administration of another agent other than Compound 1 or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof, or atezolizumab. In such cases, administration of the other agent during the rest period should not interfere with or be detrimental to the administration of the agent described herein. In one example, a cycle as used herein refers to a 21-day cycle without a rest period.

[0046] A "dosing regimen" refers to a period of administration of an agent described herein, which may include one or more cycles, and each cycle may include administration of an agent described herein for a different time or in a different amount.

[0047] "QD" refers to once-daily administration of the agents described herein.

[0048] "BID" refers to administration of the agents described herein twice daily.

[0049] "Q3W" refers to administration of the agents described herein once every three weeks.

[0050] "PO" refers to oral administration of the agents described herein.

[0051] "IV" refers to intravenous administration of any agent described herein.

[0052] Graded adverse events refer to the severity grading scale established by the NCI CTCAE. In one embodiment, adverse events are graded according to the following table: TIFF0007749667000003.tif52170

[0053] The term "patient" refers to a human patient. The patient may be an adult.

[0054] The term "antibody" specifically encompasses monoclonal antibodies (such as full-length monoclonal antibodies), polyclonal antibodies, multispecific antibodies (e.g., bispecific antibodies), and antibody fragments, so long as they exhibit the desired biological activity. In one example, the antibody is a full-length monoclonal antibody.

[0055] As used herein, the term IgG "isotype" or "subclass" means any of the subclasses of immunoglobulins defined by the chemical and antigenic properties of their constant regions.

[0056] Depending on the amino acid sequence of the constant domain of their heavy chains, antibodies (immunoglobulins) can be assigned to different classes. There are five major classes of immunoglobulins: IgA, IgD, IgE, IgG, and IgM, and some of these can be further divided into subclasses (isotypes), e.g., IgG1, IgG2, IgG3, IgG4, IgA1, and IgA2. The heavy-chain constant domains corresponding to the different classes of immunoglobulins are called α, γ, ε, γ, and μ, respectively. The subunit structures and three-dimensional configurations of different classes of immunoglobulins are well known and are generally described, for example, in Abbas et al. Cellular and Mol. Immunology, 4th ed. (WB Saunders, Co., 2000). An antibody may be part of a larger fusion molecule, formed by covalent or noncovalent binding of the antibody to one or more other proteins or peptides.

[0057] The terms "full length antibody," "intact antibody," and "whole antibody" are used interchangeably herein to refer to an antibody in its substantially intact form, rather than an antibody fragment as described below. This term refers to an antibody that includes an Fc region.

[0058] The term "Fc region" is used herein to define the C-terminal region of an immunoglobulin heavy chain containing at least a portion of the constant region. This term includes native-sequence Fc regions and variant Fc regions. In one embodiment, a human IgG heavy chain Fc region extends from Cys226, or from Pro230, to the carboxyl terminus of the heavy chain. However, antibodies produced by host cells may undergo post-translational cleavage of one or more, particularly one or two, amino acids from the C-terminus of the heavy chain. Thus, upon expression of a particular nucleic acid molecule encoding a full-length heavy chain, antibodies produced by host cells may contain a full-length heavy chain or a cleaved variant of the full-length heavy chain. This may be the case when the last two C-terminal amino acids of the heavy chain are glycine (G446) and lysine (K447). Thus, the C-terminal lysine (Lys447) of the Fc region, or the C-terminal glycine (Gly446) and lysine (Lys447), may or may not be present. The amino acid sequence of a heavy chain comprising an Fc region is shown herein without the C-terminal lysine (Lys447) unless otherwise indicated. In one aspect, a heavy chain comprising an Fc region as specified herein contained in an antibody disclosed herein comprises an additional C-terminal glycine-lysine dipeptide (G446 and K447). In one aspect, a heavy chain comprising an Fc region as specified herein contained in an antibody disclosed herein comprises an additional C-terminal glycine residue (G446). In one aspect, a heavy chain comprising an Fc region as specified herein contained in an antibody disclosed herein comprises an additional C-terminal lysine residue (K447). In one embodiment, the Fc region comprises a single amino acid substitution, N297A, in the heavy chain. Unless otherwise specified herein, numbering of amino acid residues in the Fc region or constant region is according to the EU numbering system (also referred to as the EU index) as described in Kabat et al., Sequences of Proteins of Immunological Interest, 5th Ed. Public Health Service, National Institutes of Health, Bethesda, MD, 1991.

[0059] A "naked antibody" refers to an antibody that is not conjugated to a heterologous moiety (e.g., a cytotoxic moiety) or radiolabel. The naked antibody may be present in a pharmaceutical composition.

[0060] An "antibody fragment" includes a portion of an intact antibody, preferably including its antigen-binding region. In some examples, the antibody fragments described herein are antigen-binding fragments. Examples of antibody fragments include Fab, F(ab'), and Fv fragments, diabodies, linear antibodies, single-chain antibody molecules (e.g., scFv), and multispecific antibodies formed from antibody fragments.

[0061] As used herein, the term "monoclonal antibody" refers to an antibody obtained from a population of substantially homogeneous antibodies, i.e., the individual antibodies comprising the population are identical and / or bind the same epitope, except for possible variant antibodies, e.g., containing naturally occurring mutations or variants arising during production of the monoclonal antibody preparation, typically present in minor amounts. In contrast to polyclonal antibody preparations, which typically include different antibodies directed against different determinants (epitopes), each monoclonal antibody of a monoclonal antibody preparation is directed against a single determinant on an antigen. Thus, the modifier "monoclonal" indicates the character of the antibody as being obtained from a substantially homogeneous population of antibodies and should not be construed as requiring production of the antibody by any particular method. For example, monoclonal antibodies used in accordance with the present invention may be produced by a variety of techniques, including, but not limited to, hybridoma methods, recombinant DNA methods, phage display methods, and methods utilizing transgenic animals containing all or part of the human immunoglobulin loci.

[0062] As used herein, the term "hypervariable region" or "HVR" refers to each of the regions of an antibody variable domain, e.g., the "complementarity-determining regions" (CDRs), which are hypervariable in sequence and determine antigen-binding specificity.

[0063] Generally, antibodies contain six CDRs, three in the VH (CDR-H1, CDR-H2, CDR-H3) and three in the VL (CDR-L1, CDR-L2, CDR-L3). Exemplary CDRs herein include: (a) hypervariable loops occurring at amino acid residues 26-32 (L1), 50-52 (L2), 91-96 (L3), 26-32 (H1), 53-55 (H2), and 96-101 (H3) (Chothia and Lesk, J. Mol. Biol. 196:901-917 (1987)); (b) CDRs occurring at amino acid residues 24-34 (L1), 50-56 (L2), 89-97 (L3), 31-35b (H1), 50-65 (H2), and 95-102 (H3) (Kabat et al., Sequences of Proteins of Immunological Interest, 5th Ed. Public Health Service, National Institutes of Health, Bethesda, MD (1991)); and (c) Antigen contacts occurring at amino acid residues 27c-36 (L1), 46-55 (L2), 89-96 (L3), 30-35b (H1), 47-58 (H2), and 93-101 (H3) (MacCallum et al. J. Mol. Biol. 262:732-745 (1996)).

[0064] Unless otherwise indicated, CDRs are determined according to Kabat et al., supra. Those skilled in the art will understand that CDR designations can be determined according to Chothia, supra, McCallum, supra, or any other scientifically accepted nomenclature system.

[0065] "Framework" or "FR" refers to variable domain residues other than the complementarity-determining regions (CDRs). The FRs of a variable domain typically consist of four FR domains: FR1, FR2, FR3, and FR4. Thus, the CDR and FR sequences typically appear in the VH (or VL) in the following order: FR1-CDR-H1 (CDR-L1)-FR2-CDR-H2 (CDR-L2)-FR3-CDR-H3 (CDR-L3)-FR4.

[0066] The terms "variable domain residue numbering as in Kabat" or "amino acid position numbering as in Kabat," and variations thereof, refer to the numbering system used for the heavy or light chain variable domains of the compilation of antibodies in Kabat et al. (see above). Using this numbering system, the actual linear amino acid sequence may contain fewer or additional amino acids corresponding to a shortening of, or insertion into, the FRs or HVRs of the variable domain. For example, a heavy chain variable domain may contain a single amino acid insertion after residue 52 of H2 (residue 52a according to Kabat) and inserted residues after heavy chain FR residue 82 (e.g., residues 82a, 82b, and 82c according to Kabat, etc.). The Kabat numbering of residues can be determined for a given antibody by alignment of the antibody's sequence with the "standard" Kabat-numbered sequence at the regions of homology.

[0067] The term "package insert" is used to refer to instructions customarily included in commercially available packaging of a therapeutic product that contain information regarding the indications, uses, dosage, administration, concomitant therapy, contraindications and / or warnings regarding the use of such therapeutic product.

[0068] As used herein, "in combination with" refers to the administration of one therapeutic modality in addition to another therapeutic modality, e.g., a therapeutic regimen that includes the administration of a PD-1 axis-binding antagonist (e.g., atezolizumab) and Compound 1 or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof. Thus, "in combination with" refers to the administration of one therapeutic modality before, during, or after the administration of the other therapeutic modality to a patient.

[0069] A drug that is administered "concurrently" with one or more other drugs is administered on the same treatment day and, optionally, at the same time as the other drug or drugs during the same treatment cycle. For example, in the case of a cancer therapy given every three weeks, each of the concurrently administered drugs would be administered on day 1 of the three-week cycle.

[0070] Combination therapy Provided herein are combination therapies (compositions) comprising Compound 1, or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof (e.g., Compound 1 adipate) and a PD-L1 binding antagonist.

[0071] In some examples, the PD-L1 binding antagonist is an anti-PD-L1 antibody. A variety of anti-PD-L1 antibodies are contemplated and described herein. In any of the examples herein, the isolated anti-PD-L1 antibody can bind to human PD-L1, for example, human PD-L1 as set forth in UniProtKB / Swiss-Prot Accession No. Q9NZQ7-1, or a variant thereof. In some examples, the anti-PD-L1 antibody can inhibit the binding between PD-L1 and PD-1 and / or between PD-L1 and B7-1. In some examples, the anti-PD-L1 antibody is a monoclonal antibody. In some examples, the anti-PD-L1 antibody is an antibody fragment selected from the group consisting of Fab, Fab'-SH, Fv, scFv, and (Fab')2 fragments. In some examples, the anti-PD-L1 antibody is a humanized antibody. In some examples, the anti-PD-L1 antibody is a human antibody. Exemplary anti-PD-L1 antibodies include atezolizumab, MDX-1105, MEDI4736 (durvalumab), MSB0010718C (avelumab), SHR-1316, CS1001, embafolimab, TQB2450, ZKAB001, LP-002, CX-072, IMC-001, KL-A167, APL-502, cosibelimab, lodapolimab, FAZ053, TG-1501, BGB-A333, BCD-135, AK-106, LDP, GR1405, HLX20, MSB2311, RC98, PDL-GEX, KD036, KY1003, YBL-007, and HS-636.

[0076] In some examples, the anti-PD-L1 antibody is avelumab (CAS Registry Number: 1537032-82-8). Avelumab, also known as MSB0010718C, is a human monoclonal IgG1 anti-PD-L1 antibody (Merck KGaA, Pfizer).

[0077] In some examples, the anti-PD-L1 antibody is durvalumab (CAS Registry Number: 1428935-60-7). Durvalumab, also known as MEDI4736, is an Fc-optimized human monoclonal IgG1 kappa anti-PD-L1 antibody (MedImmune, AstraZeneca) described in WO 2011 / 066389 and U.S. Patent Application Publication No. 2013 / 034559.

[0078] In some examples, the anti-PD-L1 antibody is MDX-1105 (Bristol Myers Squibb). MDX-1105, also known as BMS-936559, is an anti-PD-L1 antibody described in WO 2007 / 005874.

[0079] In some examples, the anti-PD-L1 antibody is LY3300054 (Eli Lilly).

[0080] In some examples, the anti-PD-L1 antibody is STI-A1014 (Sorrento). STI-A1014 is a human anti-PD-L1 antibody.

[0081] In some examples, the anti-PD-L1 antibody is KN035 (Suzhou Alphamab), which is a single domain antibody (dAB) generated from a camel phage display library.

[0082] In some examples, the anti-PD-L1 antibody is composed of a cleavable moiety or linker that, when cleaved (e.g., by proteases in the tumor microenvironment), activates the antibody antigen-binding domain so that it is able to bind its antigen, e.g., by removing a non-binding steric moiety. In some examples, the anti-PD-L1 antibody is CX-072 (CytomX Therapeutics).

[0083] In some examples, the anti-PD-L1 antibody comprises six HVR sequences (e.g., three heavy chain HVRs and three light chain HVRs) and / or heavy chain and light chain variable domains from an anti-PD-L1 antibody described in U.S. Patent Application Publication No. 20160108123, WO 2016 / 000619, WO 2012 / 145493, U.S. Patent Application Publication No. WO 9,205,148, WO 2013 / 181634, or WO 2016 / 061142.

[0084] In yet a further specific embodiment, the anti-PD-L1 antibody has reduced or minimal effector function. In a further specific embodiment, this is due to an "effector-less Fc mutation" or an aglycosylation mutation. In a still further example, the effector-less Fc mutation is an N297A or D265A / N297A substitution in the constant region. In a still further example, the effector-less Fc mutation is an N297A substitution in the constant region. In some examples, the isolated anti-PD-L1 antibody is aglycosylated. Glycosylation of antibodies is typically either N-linked or O-linked. N-linked refers to the attachment of a carbohydrate moiety to the side chain of an asparagine residue. The tripeptide sequences asparagine-X-serine and asparagine-X-threonine, where X is any amino acid except proline, are the recognition sequences for enzymatic attachment of the carbohydrate moiety to the asparagine side chain. Thus, the presence of either of these tripeptide sequences within a polypeptide creates a potential glycosylation site. O-linked glycosylation refers to the attachment of one of the sugars, N-acetylgalactosamine, galactose, or xylose, to a hydroxyamino acid, most commonly serine or threonine, although 5-hydroxyproline or 5-hydroxylysine may also be used. Removal of a glycosylation site from an antibody is conveniently accomplished by altering the amino acid sequence so that one of the above-mentioned tripeptide sequences (for N-linked glycosylation sites) is removed. This change can be made by substituting the asparagine, serine, or threonine residue within the glycosylation site with another amino acid residue (e.g., glycine, alanine, or a conservative substitution).

[0133] Patient stratification In one embodiment of such a method, the patient has a KRas G12C In another such embodiment, the patient is diagnosed with a cancer comprising a mutation. In another such embodiment, the patient is diagnosed with a cancer that expresses PD-L1. Such a diagnosis can be made from one or more samples taken from the patient and the tests described herein. In one embodiment, the sample is a tumor sample taken from the subject. In one such embodiment, the sample is taken prior to administration of any of the treatments described herein. In another such embodiment, the sample is taken prior to administration of at least one agent described herein. In some embodiments, tumor samples can be taken at specified intervals during treatment with the combination therapy described herein to evaluate the treatment.

[0134] The tumor or cancer is KRas G12C Determining whether a K-Ras protein contains a mutation can be performed by evaluating the nucleotide sequence encoding the K-Ras protein, by evaluating the amino acid sequence of the K-Ras protein, or by evaluating the characteristics of a putative K-Ras mutant protein. The sequence of wild-type human K-Ras (e.g., accession number NP203524) is known in the art. In one such embodiment, a sample from a patient described herein is subjected to KRas analysis using, for example, immunohistochemistry (IHC) or NGS sequencing. G12C Evaluate for mutations.

[0135] PD-L1 expression can be assessed in patients treated according to any of the methods and compositions for use described herein. The methods and compositions for use can include determining the expression level of PD-L1 in a biological sample (e.g., a tumor sample) obtained from the patient. In other examples, the expression level of PD-L1 in a biological sample (e.g., a tumor sample) obtained from the patient has been determined before or after treatment has begun. PD-L1 expression can be determined using any suitable approach. For example, PD-L1 expression can be determined as described in U.S. Patent Application Publication Nos. 15 / 787,988 and 15 / 790,680. Any suitable tumor sample can be used, such as a formalin-fixed, paraffin-embedded (FFPE) tumor sample, an archived tumor sample, a fresh tumor sample, or a frozen tumor sample.

[0136] For example, PD-L1 expression may be determined in terms of the proportion of a tumor sample comprised of tumor-infiltrating immune cells that express a detectable level of PD-L1 expression, as the proportion of tumor-infiltrating immune cells in a tumor sample that express a detectable level of PD-L1 expression, and / or as the proportion of tumor cells in a tumor sample that express a detectable level of PD-L1 expression. In any of the foregoing examples, it should be understood that the percentage of a tumor sample comprised of tumor-infiltrating immune cells may be in terms of the percentage of tumor area covered by tumor-infiltrating immune cells (e.g., as assessed by IHC using an anti-PD-L1 antibody (e.g., SP142 antibody)) in a section of the tumor sample obtained from the patient. Any suitable anti-PD-L1 antibody may be used, including, for example, SP142 (Ventana), SP263 (Ventana), 22C3 (Dako), 28-8 (Dako), E1L3N (Cell Signaling Technology), 4059 (ProSci, Inc.), h5H1 (Advanced Cell Diagnostics), and 9A11. In some examples, the anti-PD-L1 antibody is SP142. In other examples, the anti-PD-L1 antibody is SP263.

[0137] In some examples, a tumor sample obtained from a patient has detectable PD-L1 expression levels in less than 1% of the tumor cells in the tumor sample, in more than 1% of the tumor cells in the tumor sample, in between 1% and less than 5% of the tumor cells in the tumor sample, in more than 5% of the tumor cells in the tumor sample, in between 5% and less than 50% of the tumor cells in the tumor sample, or in more than 50% of the tumor cells in the tumor sample.

[0138] In some examples, tumor samples obtained from patients have detectable PD-L1 expression levels in tumor-infiltrating immune cells that comprise less than 1% of the tumor sample, more than 1% of the tumor sample, between 1% and less than 5% of the tumor sample, more than 5% of the tumor sample, between 5% and less than 10% of the tumor sample, or more than 10% of the tumor sample.

[0139] In some examples, tumor samples may be scored for PD-L1 positivity in tumor-infiltrating immune cells and / or tumor cells according to the criteria for diagnostic assessment set forth in Table A and / or Table B, respectively.

[0194] The following examples are offered by way of illustration and not by way of limitation. [Example]

[0195] Example 1: Preclinical synergy:

[0196] Preclinical data combining the adipic acid salt of Compound 1 with anti-PD-L1 therapy also demonstrated a synergistic effect with greater tumor reduction in mice compared to the use of either treatment alone.

[0197] The combination of compound 1 adipate and an anti-PD-L1 monoclonal antibody (mAb) was evaluated in the CRISPR-engineered CT26.KRAS12C-clone#12:B2G9 mouse colorectal (CRC) syngeneic tumor model.

[0198] The test agent, Compound 1 adipate, was in solution at a concentration of 7.5 mg / mL in 0.5% (w / v) methylcellulose. Anti-PD-L1 mAb (Mu IgG1 anti-PD-L1 (6E11); hereafter referred to as anti-PD-L1) was in solution in histidine buffer #8 (20 nM histidine acetate, 240 nM sucrose, 0.02% Tween 20™, pH 5.5). The oral dosing vehicle control was 0.5% (w / v) methylcellulose. Test agents were stored in a refrigerator set to maintain a temperature range of 4°C to 7°C. Dosing solutions for all treatments and vehicle controls were prepared once a week for three weeks.

[0199] Female Balb / c mice, 9–10 weeks old and weighing an average of 22 g, were obtained from Charles River Laboratory (Hollister, CA). Only animals that appeared healthy and had no obvious abnormalities were used in this study. Murine colon carcinoma CT26 cells were obtained from the American Type Culture Collection (Rockville, MD). CT26.KRAS12C-clone #12:B2G9 was derived from a CRISPR knock-in of G12C in CT26 cells. Cells were cultured in vitro, harvested during logarithmic growth phase, and resuspended in Hank's balanced salt solution (HBSS) containing Matrigel (BD Biosciences; San Jose, CA) at a 1:1 ratio. The cells were then implanted subcutaneously into the right thorax of 70 Balb / c mice. Each mouse received 0.1 × 10 cells in a volume of 100 μL. 6 The tumors were grown in a 20-well plate with a mean tumor volume of 159–228 mm. 3 Mice were distributed into six groups based on tumor volume, with n = 8 mice per group. The mean tumor volume across all six groups was 198 mm at the start of dosing. 3 It was.

[0200] Mice received vehicle (100μL of 0.5% MC and 100μL of 0.5% MCT), 50mg / kg of Compound 1 adipate (expressed as free-base equivalent). MC vehicle and Compound 1 adipate were administered orally (PO) by oral gavage in a volume of 100μL QD for 21 days. The isotope control mAb and anti-PD-L1 mAb were administered intravenously (IV) at 10mg / kg for the first dose, followed by intraperitoneal (IP) dosing at 5mg / kg for subsequent doses, on a twice-weekly (BIW) schedule.

[0201] Tumor size and mouse weights were recorded twice weekly over the course of the study. 3 Mice were immediately euthanized when the body weight loss exceeded 100 mg / kg or if the body weight loss was ≥ 20% of their starting weight. TIFF0007749667000008.tif36170

[0202] Dose Preparation and Tumor and Body Weight Measurements. All concentrations were calculated based on the average body weight of 25 g for the nude mouse strain used in this study. Tumor volumes were measured in two dimensions (length and width) using Ultra Cal-IV calipers (Model 54-10-111; Fred V. Fowler Co.; Newton, Massachusetts) and analyzed using Excel, version 14.2.5 (Microsoft Corporation; Redmond, Washington). Tumor volume was calculated using the following formula: Tumor size (mm 3 ) = (longer measurement x shorter measurement 2 )×0.5

[0203] Anti-tumor responses were observed, with partial response (PR) defined as a >50% reduction from the initial tumor volume and complete response (CR) defined as a 100% reduction in tumor volume.

[0204] Animal weights were measured using an Adventure Pro AV812 scale (Ohaus Corporation; Pine Brook, NJ). Percent weight change was calculated using the following formula: Weight change (%) = [(current weight / initial weight)-1) x 100]

[0205] Efficacy estimates were obtained by calculating the percentage difference between the mean daily baseline-corrected AUC of the relevant groups fitted to the original (i.e., untransformed) scale over a common time period.

[0206] Antitumor efficacy was evaluated in nude mice bearing human NCI-H2122 NSCLC xenografts after treatment with compound 1 adipic acid salt (30 mg / kg PO QD) alone, compared with anti-PD-L1 (10 mg / kg IV, initial dose, then 5 mg / kg IP BIW). Single-agent (SA) treatment resulted in tumor growth inhibition (TGI). SA treatment with compound 1 adipic acid salt resulted in a 123% TGI with 3 / 8 partial responses (PRs). SA treatment with anti-PD-L1 resulted in a -38% TGI with 1 / 8 PRs compared to vehicle control (see Figures 1 and 4). The combination of compound 1 adipic acid salt and anti-PD-L1 resulted in a 147% TGI with 2 / 8 PRs and 5 / 8 CRs (see Figures 1 and 2). All treatments were well tolerated, as determined by percent body weight change (see Figure 4).

[0207] Summary of anti-T-tumor activity of Compound 1 adipate dosed alone or in combination with anti-PD-L1 in CT26.KRAS12C-clone #12:B2G9 syngeneic colorectal (CRC) tumors in Balb / c mice: TIFF0007749667000009.tif37170CI = confidence interval; CR = complete response; PR = partial response; QD = once daily; TI = tumor incidence. NOTE: %TGI = percent of tumor growth inhibition based on AUC (see Data Analysis section for formula).

[0208] A combination antitumor efficacy study was conducted in the CT26.KRAS12C-clone #12:B2G9 syngeneic CRC tumor model. Consistent with data generated using checkpoint inhibitors in the CT26 tumor model (REF), single-agent anti-PD-L1 treatment failed to inhibit tumor growth (-38% TGI, 1 / 8 PR). Single-agent treatment with compound 1 adipate resulted in tumor regression (123% TGI) with 3 / 8 PRs. In contrast, the combination of compound 1 adipate and anti-PD-L1 resulted in improved tumor regression (147% TGI), with the majority of tumors responding with 2 / 8 PRs and 5 / 8 CRs, and 7 / 8 (87.5%) demonstrating durable responses by day 69. (See Figures 1 and 2.) These data demonstrate that combining compound 1 adipate with checkpoint inhibition, such as anti-PD-L1, can result in improved anti-tumor activity in the CT26.KRAS12C mutant syngeneic tumor model.

[0209] Example 2:

[0210] Initial systemic treatment options for advanced or metastatic NSCLC (without known oncogenic drivers for which targeted therapy is available) include PD-1 / PD-L1 inhibitors with or without chemotherapy (Gong, et al. J Immunother Cancer 2018;6:8). Subsequent treatment options may include platinum-containing chemotherapy combinations followed by single-agent chemotherapy with limited duration of disease control (NCCN Guidelines Version 2.2020(a). Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer). Although a minority of patients achieve long-term disease control, advanced or metastatic NSCLC generally remains incurable. Recent data suggest that KRAS mutation status may be associated with response to single-agent PD-1 inhibitor therapy, and that chemotherapy plus PD-1 inhibitors may be effective regardless of KRAS mutation status (Gadgeel S, et al. Annals of Oncology, Volume 30, Issue Supplement_11, December 2019 ESMO Immuno-Oncology Congress 2019. LBA5; Herbst RS, et al. Ann Oncol 30, Issue Supplement_11, December 2019 ESMO Immuno-Oncology Congress 2019. LBA4).

[0211] KRAS is the most frequently mutated oncogene in up to 25% of cancers and is associated with resistance to select standard treatments and poor overall prognosis. While selective inhibitors are being developed as anticancer therapies targeting other nodes in the RAS / MAPK pathway, the KRAS oncoprotein was considered undruggable until the recent discovery of the switch II pocket (Ostrem, et al. Nature 2013;503:548-51). This knowledge has led to the development of novel inhibitors of KRAS, specifically KRAS G12C Covalent small molecule inhibitors that target the mutations are being evaluated in early clinical development.

[0212] Other KRAS G12C AMG 510 (sotorasib) is a KRAS inhibitor.G12C by locking KRAS in an inactive GDP-bound state G12C AMG-510 is a small molecule that irreversibly inhibits vasoconstriction. It is currently being investigated in ongoing clinical studies. Patients in these studies received a median of three (range, 0 to 11) prior lines of anticancer therapy for metastatic disease before study entry. Overall, treatment-related adverse events were reported in 56.6% of patients, with 11.6% experiencing treatment-related grade 3 or 4 events and 1.6% experiencing treatment-related serious adverse events. Grade 3 events occurring in multiple patients included increased ALT, diarrhea, anemia, increased AST, and increased alkaline phosphatase. One patient experienced a grade 4 treatment-related increase in ALT, and one patient discontinued AMG-510 due to grade 3 treatment-related increases in ALT and AST. Although antitumor activity has been reported, adverse events associated with AMG-510 do exist. Patients had a confirmed objective response in 32.2% of NSCLC patients, with a median response duration of 10.9 months (range, 1.1+ to 13.6 months). The median PFS was reported to be 6.3 months (range, 0.0-14.9+) in patients with NSCLC (Hong et al. New Eng J Med 2020;383:1207-17).

[0213] MRTX849 is a KRAS G12C KRAS Mutation-Selective Small Molecule Being Evaluated in Clinical Studies in Patients with Mutated Advanced Solid Tumors G12CInhibitors. Data from a total of 17 patients (including 10 with NSCLC and 4 with CRC) were recently reported, of which 12 patients underwent at least one on-treatment tumor evaluation (including 6 with NSCLC and 4 with CRC). Most patients had received three or more prior anticancer regimens before study entry (12 of 17 patients, 71%). The following treatment-related adverse events were reported in >10% of patients: diarrhea, nausea, increased AST, vomiting, fatigue, increased ALT, increased creatinine, abdominal distension, abdominal pain, increased ALP, anemia, decreased appetite, dehydration, dry mouth, dysgeusia, dyspnea, QT prolongation, hypomagnesemia, and rash. Grade 3 events included fatigue, decreased appetite, and dyspnea (1 patient each). Antitumor activity with PR was achieved in 3 of 6 patients with NSCLC and 1 of 4 patients with CRC across all dose levels evaluated (Janne et al. AACR-NCI-EORTC International Conference on Molecular Targets and Cancer Therapeutics October 2019).

[0214] Compound 1. KRAS G12C The specificity of Compound 1 for KRAS, along with its mechanism of action, G12C It is expected to result in potent and irreversible inhibition of KRAS, enabling a wide therapeutic index that maximizes antitumor activity while minimizing treatment-related toxicity. G12C -Specific therapy aimed at KRAS positive cancers G12C This may provide a more tolerable and effective treatment option for patients with advanced cancers. As used in this example, unless otherwise specified, Compound 1 refers to the adipic acid salt of Compound 1 as described herein.

[0215] KRAS G12COne strategy to improve inhibitor efficacy focuses on growing evidence that KRAS inhibition can promote T cell infiltration and modulate the tumor microenvironment to promote cancer cell killing (Canon et al. Nature 2019;575:217-23). ​​Therefore, this approach aims to combine KRAS inhibition with other inhibitors to collectively enhance the anti-cancer immune response. G12C The aim is to combine the inhibitors with other anti-cancer therapies that target critical events along the cancer-immunity cycle (Chen and Mellman, Immunity 2013;39:1-10).

[0216] In vitro and in vivo pharmacological studies demonstrated that compound 1 inhibits KRAS G12C is a highly potent and selective covalent inhibitor of KRAS G12C -KRAS-negative cancer cell lines G12C Compound 1 demonstrates over 20,000-fold selectivity in inhibiting the proliferation of KRAS-positive cancer cells. Mechanism of action studies with compound 1 demonstrate that in addition to KRAS target genes such as DUSP6 and SPRY4, downstream MAPK pathway components such as phosphorylated (p)ERK and pS6 are inhibited, resulting in the inhibition of KRAS. G12C We demonstrate that compound 1 exhibits potent single-agent activity and induces apoptosis in KRAS-positive cancer cell lines. G12C Inhibits tumor growth in several preclinical xenograft models of KRAS-positive lung tumors. These in vitro and in vivo pharmacological studies demonstrate that KRAS-positive tumors inhibit tumor growth in locally advanced or metastatic KRAS-positive lung tumors. G12C -Supports the use of Compound 1 for the treatment of patients with positive solid tumors.

[0217] The results of nonclinical toxicology studies completed to date provide a robust characterization of the toxicity profile of Compound 1 and support the administration of Compound 1 in patients with cancer. Comprehensive nonclinical toxicology studies have been completed to evaluate the potential single- and repeat-dose oral toxicity, genotoxicity, phototoxicity, and safety pharmacology of Compound 1. KRAS G12C The KRAS mutation is not present in healthy animals. G12C There are no pharmacologically relevant non-clinical species for inhibition.

[0218] Atezolizumab. Atezolizumab is a humanized IgG1 monoclonal antibody that targets PD-L1 and inhibits the interaction between PD-L1 and its receptors, PD-1 and B7-1 (also known as CD80), both of which function as inhibitory receptors expressed on T cells. Therapeutic blockade of PDL-1 binding by atezolizumab has been shown to enhance the magnitude and quality of tumor-specific T-cell responses, resulting in improved anti-tumor activity (Fehrenbacher et al. 2016; Rosenberg et al. 2016). Atezolizumab minimally binds to Fc receptors, thus eliminating detectable Fc effector function and the associated antibody-mediated clearance of activated effector T cells.

[0219] Atezolizumab has demonstrated anti-tumor activity in both preclinical models and cancer patients and is being investigated as a potential treatment for a wide variety of malignancies. Atezolizumab has been studied as a single agent in advanced cancers, in the adjuvant setting, and in combination with chemotherapy, targeted therapy, and cancer immunotherapy.

[0220] Atezolizumab is approved (as a single agent and / or in combination with other anticancer therapies) for the treatment of locally advanced or metastatic urothelial carcinoma, NSCLC, small cell lung carcinoma, triple-negative breast cancer, melanoma, and hepatocellular carcinoma.

[0221] Rationale for Combination Therapy with Atezolizumab: Emerging clinical data in the field of tumor immunotherapy demonstrate that therapies focused on enhancing T cell responses against cancer can confer significant survival benefit in patients with metastatic cancers, including NSCLC (Chen and Mellman 2013; Sun et al. 2020). In metastatic NSCLC, PD-L1 / PD-1 inhibitors as monotherapy and / or in combination with chemotherapy have demonstrated significant improvements in survival compared with standard chemotherapy, leading to the approval of these agents for the treatment of NSCLC and validating the inhibition of the PD-L1 / PD-1 pathway to achieve clinical benefit in NSCLC (Borghaei et al. New Eng J Med 2015;373:1627-39; Herbst et al.; Reck et al. N Eng J Med 2016;375:1823-33; Rittmeyer et al. Lancet 2017;389:255-65; Gandhi et al. New Eng J Med 2018;31;378:2078-92; Socinski et al. New Eng J Med 2018;378:2288-301; West et al. Lancet Oncol 2019;20:924-37). Furthermore, the safety profile of PD-L1 and PD-1 inhibitors appears to be better tolerated than many chemotherapy combinations, which are associated with significant toxicity and are often poorly tolerated by elderly patients and those with poor performance status.

[0222] One potential obstacle to effective immunotherapy for advanced cancers may be the immunosuppressive microenvironment within the tumor. There is evidence that mutant KRAS activity may play a role in promoting the immunosuppressive microenvironment (Cullis et al. Cold Spring Harb Perspect Med 2018;8:a031849), and that inhibiting mutant KRAS activity may help modulate the immune microenvironment.

[0223] Based on mechanistic and efficacy data from preclinical models, Compound 1 is a potential treatment for advanced or metastatic KRAS G12CCompound 1 is administered in combination with atezolizumab in patients with KRAS-positive NSCLC. The dose of atezolizumab in combination with Compound 1 is 1200 mg IV on day 1 of each 21-day cycle. Compound 1 is administered in combination with KRAS-positive NSCLC. G12C Compound 1 is an oral covalent anti-cancer therapeutic agent that selectively inhibits KRAS, but not the wild-type form of KRAS, or other mutations in other members of the RAS family. G12C We demonstrate that treatment of KRAS-positive cancer cell lines or tumor xenograft models results in decreased KRAS pathway signaling, suppression of proliferation, and induction of apoptosis.

[0224] This study will evaluate the activity of Compound 1 in combination with atezolizumab based on the following endpoints: objective response rate (ORR); duration of response (DOR); and progression-free survival (PFS).

[0225] Biomarkers. This study identifies biomarkers that predict response to Compound 1 as a single agent or in combination with atezolizumab (i.e., predictive biomarkers), early surrogates of activity, and those associated with progression to a more severe disease state (i.e., prognostic biomarkers), including KRAS G12C Identify and / or evaluate biomarkers that are related to acquired resistance to inhibitors (e.g., Compound 1), related to susceptibility to the occurrence of adverse events, or that may lead to improved adverse event monitoring or surveillance (i.e., safety biomarkers), that may provide evidence of activity of Compound 1 in combination with atezolizumab (i.e., pharmacodynamic [PD] biomarkers), or that may enhance knowledge and understanding of disease biology and drug safety. Corresponding biomarker endpoints include relationships between exploratory biomarkers in blood, plasma, and tumor tissue and safety, PK, activity, or other biomarker endpoints.

[0226] Study Parameters: Patients who do not meet the inclusion criteria for this study (screening failures) may be eligible for up to two rescreening opportunities (for a total of three screens per participant) at the investigator's discretion. Patients do not need to re-sign the consent form if they are rescreened within 30 days of previously signing the consent form. For patients who are rescreened, all eligibility criteria must be reassessed, and screening assessments must be repeated as necessary to meet the eligibility criteria described herein.

[0227] The study will consist of a screening period of up to 28 days, a treatment period, and a safety follow-up period in which patients will be followed for safety outcomes during a treatment-specific period after their last dose of study drug or until they receive another anti-cancer therapy, whichever occurs first. Patients who provide separate consent will be screened for KRas mutations through central testing of circulating tumor DNA (ctDNA). G12C One can screen for mutation status.

[0228] In the absence of unacceptable toxicity and overt disease progression as determined by the investigator, patients will continue treatment with Compound 1 until the end of the study.

[0229] All patients will be closely monitored for adverse events throughout the study and for a treatment-specific period after the last dose of study treatment or until the initiation of another anti-cancer therapy, whichever occurs first. Adverse events will be categorized according to NCI CTCAE v5.0.

[0230] The starting dose of Compound 1 will be 50 mg PO QD. Single patient dose escalation cohorts will be treated with Compound 1 at escalating dose levels.

[0231] Patients will have locally advanced, recurrent, or metastatic refractory KRas disease with disease progression or intolerance to at least one prior systemic therapy, which may include an investigational or approved PD-L1 / PD-1 inhibitor, alone or in combination with an investigational drug. G12C Patients with positive NSCLC were included.

[0232] KRas from tissue and circulating tumor DNA assessment G12C Mutation status. Approximately 12% of NSCLCs, 4% of CRCs, 2% of pancreatic cancers, and many other solid tumors (each with a prevalence of ≤4%) harbor KRas mutations. G12C Compound 1 inhibits KRas G12C It is a potent and highly selective inhibitor that targets KRAS, but not other mutations in KRAS, the wild-type form of KRAS, or other members of the RAS family. G12C Only patients with tumors that harbor the mutation are eligible to receive the combination therapy described herein. KRAS mutation status is determined by FoundationOne (登録商標) CDx (F1CDx) Assay, a U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA)-approved broad companion diagnostic (CDx) assay, FoundationOne (登録商標) The Liquid CDx (F1L CDx) assay, as well as other FDA-approved (FDA 2020) or fully validated laboratory-developed tests, may be performed and assessed in Clinical Laboratory Improvement Amendments (CLIA)-validated or equivalently certified laboratories. Previous studies have demonstrated that KRas G12C Analysis of archival tissues demonstrated that the onset of KRas mutations is an early event (Jamal-Hanjani et al. N Engl J Med 2017;376:2109-21), and the response to Compound 1 treatment was not significantly affected by KRas mutations. G12C -Suggests that it is a sufficient surrogate for the selection of patients with positive tumors.

[0233] Pharmacodynamic pathway modulation. Compound 1 inhibits KRas G12C KRas inhibits downstream MAPK signaling by alkylating ATP, thereby locking it in an inactive GDP-bound state G12C In preclinical models, compound 1 inhibited KRas G12CThe level of alkylation and the degree of MAPK pathway inhibition correlate with response to Compound 1. Tumor tissue collection before and during treatment will allow for assessment of the correlation between MAPK pathway inhibition and antitumor activity with Compound 1 treatment. The degree of MAPK pathway inhibition can be assessed using RNA analysis of MAPK target genes (e.g., DUSP6, SPRY4) or immunohistochemistry (IHC) analysis of phosphorylated downstream markers (e.g., pERK, pS6). Additionally, tumor tissue biopsies during treatment will be used to assess the effect of Compound 1 on KRas expression. G12C It may allow direct assessment of the level of alkylation. Assessment of these PD biomarkers may inform future dose selection.

[0234] Sequencing of Genes Associated with Resistance to Compound 1. DNA sequencing technologies, such as targeted next-generation sequencing (NGS) and whole-exome sequencing, may offer unique opportunities to identify biomarkers of response and / or resistance to Compound 1. Sequencing of cancer-associated genes may lead to the identification of novel and acquired resistance mechanisms to Compound 1.

[0235] Protein, RNA, and DNA analysis. Evaluation of signaling activity in tumor cells (e.g., MAPK, PI3K / AKT) and immune activity in the tumor microenvironment (e.g., PD-L1) can provide valuable insight into sensitivity or resistance to Compound 1 treatment as a single agent or combination therapy. PD-L1 expression assessed by IHC can be used to analyze anti-tumor activity in subgroups based on PD-L1 expression.

[0236] In addition to mutational activation of proteins, changes in RNA expression levels or DNA may also regulate the activity of signaling pathways. Tumor RNA profiling allows for unique subtyping of patients enrolled in a study. Analysis of potential associations between subtypes and patient outcomes may identify subpopulations of patients most likely to respond to Compound 1.

[0237] Plasma samples for somatic tumor mutation analysis and other biomarkers. There is growing evidence that cell-free DNA obtained from blood samples of cancer patients contains ctDNA, which represents the DNA and mutational status of cells within the tumor (Diehl et al. 2008; Maheswaran et al. 2008). Assays for detecting cancer-associated mutations (e.g., KRAS) from plasma have been validated. Results from these assays can be correlated with mutational status determined from analysis of tumor specimens. The use of ctDNA to monitor response to treatment is an area of ​​great interest and may enable early, noninvasive, and quantifiable methods for use in clinical settings to identify specific therapeutic candidates and monitor the mutational status of cancer over time (Wan et al. Nat Rev Cancer 2017;17:223-38). Analysis of ctDNA collected at various time points during study treatment and after patients have progressed on compound 1 may help identify mechanisms of response and acquired resistance to study treatment.

[0238] Blood samples for next-generation sequencing. Next-generation sequencing (NGS) technology can generate a large amount of sequencing data. Tumor DNA may contain both reported and unreported chromosomal alterations due to the tumorigenesis process. To help control sequencing calls for previously unreported genomic alterations, a pre-medication blood sample is collected to determine whether the alterations are somatic.

[0239] Any tumor biopsy specimen at the time of disease progression. KRAS G12C Understanding the mechanisms of resistance to inhibitors is important for the development of combination therapies and may provide opportunities for developing next-generation inhibitors to prevent resistance.
