AI Technical Summary
Current cancer therapies lack effective approaches for targeting cancers with replication stress mutations, which often rely on the G2 checkpoint for DNA damage correction, leading to challenges in achieving targeted treatment.
The use of Myt1 inhibitors, either alone or in combination with second therapeutic agents like nucleoside analogs or Atr inhibitors, to exacerbate replication stress or prevent cellular recovery in cancers harboring specific biomarkers such as KRAS, NRAS, or TP53 mutations.
This approach demonstrates unexpected efficacy in treating cancers with replication stress biomarkers by inducing cell death through increased sensitivity to Myt1 inhibition, particularly in combination therapies that enhance the dependence on PKMYT1 for controlling mitosis.

Abstract
Description
[0001] MYT1 INHIBITORS FOR THE TREATMENT OF CANCERS HARBORING REPLICATION STRESS MUTATIONS
[0002] FIELD OF THE INVENTION
[0003] The invention relates to therapies using inhibitors of membrane associated tyrosine and threonine specific Cdc2 inhibitory kinase (Myt1) (gene name PKMYT1) to treat replication stress cancers.
[0004] BACKGROUND
[0005] DNA is continuously subjected to both endogenous insults (e.g., stalled replication forks, reactive oxygen species) and exogenous insults (UV, ionizing radiation, chemical) that can lead to DNA damage. As a result, cells have established sophisticated mechanisms to counteract these deleterious events that would otherwise compromise genomic integrity and lead to genomic instability diseases such as cancer. These mechanisms are collectively referred to as the DNA damage response (DDR). One component of the overall DDR is the activation of various checkpoint pathways that modulate specific DNA-repair mechanisms throughout the various phases of the cell cycle, which includes the G1 , S, G2 and Mitosis checkpoints. A majority of cancer cells have lost their G1 checkpoint owing to p53 mutations and as such, rely on the G2 checkpoint to make the necessary DNA damage corrections prior to committing to enter mitosis and divide into two daughter cells.
[0006] There is a need for new anti-cancer therapeutic approaches, e.g., those utilizing small molecules, especially therapies allowing for targeted cancer treatment.

A cell overexpressing CCNE1 (alternatively referred to herein as a CCNE1-high cell) is one that exhibits a higher activity of CCNE1 than a cell normally expressing CCNE1. For example, a CC / VE7-overexpressing cell is a cell that exhibits a copy number of at least 3 compared to a diploid normal cell with 2 copies. Thus, a cell exhibiting a copy number greater than 3 of CCNE1 is a cell overexpressing CCNE1. The CCNE1 overexpression may be measured by identifying the expression level of the gene product in a cell (e.g., CCNE1 mRNA transcript count or CCNEI protein level).

[0143] The term “Raf (or alternatively, “rapidly accelerated fibrosarcoma”), as used herein, refers to the Raf family of cell signaling proteins. The Raf family of proteins includes Araf, Braf, and CRaf (encoded for by the ARAF, BRAF, and CRAF gene respectively). A BRAF gene with a gain-of-function mutation is one that produces a Braf protein with enhanced activity (e.g., a Raf protein which participates in a signal transduction pathway in the absence of a signal activating the pathway) or produces increased quantities of a BRAF protein in a cell. The term “Ras” (or alternatively “Ras GTPase”), as used herein, refers to the Ras family of cell signaling proteins. The Ras family includes Kras, Hras, and Nras (encoded for by the KRAS, HRAS, and NRAS genes; collectively referred to as RAS genes). About 25% of human cancers are observed to involve a mutation to a RAS gene.
[0144] The term “Ras / Mapk pathway” (or alternatively “Mapk / Erk pathway,” or “Ras-Raf-Mek-Erk pathway”), as used herein, refers to the chain of proteins, typically located in the membrane of the cell, which aids in transducing extracellular signals into the nucleus. The proteins communicate via exchange of groups both between each other and nucleotides. For example, the signaling pathway may be activated by binding phosphorylating a diphosphate nucleoside (e.g., phosphorylating a GDP molecule) or dephosphorylating a triphosphate nucleoside (e.g., dephosphorylating GTP); or the signaling pathway may transduce a signal by interacting a phosphorylated first protein with a second protein, transferring the phosphate from the first protein to the second protein, resulting in a dephosphorylated first protein and a phosphorylated second protein.
[0145] The term “replication stress” as used herein, refers to a cell undergoing more rapid and / or uncontrolled cell division. Many cancers can be characterized as including a biomarker for replication stress, e.g., a mutation (e.g., a loss-of-function mutation or a gain-of-function mutation) of a gene, overexpression of a gene, or amplification of a gene which results in shortening the time a cell spends in the G1 , S, or G2 phases of the cell cycle). Additionally, a therapeutic (e.g., chemotherapeutic) drug may also be a driver of replication stress. Methods of the present disclosure may include administration of one or more therapeutic agents which cause replication stress (e.g., a Myt inhibitor) to a cancer with a replication stress mutation.
[0146] The term "sarcoma" generally refers to a tumor which is made up of a substance like the embryonic connective tissue and is generally composed of closely packed cells embedded in a fibrillar or homogeneous substance.
[0147] The term “subject,” as used herein, represents a human or non-human animal (e.g., a mammal) that is suffering from, or is at risk of, disease or condition, as determined by a qualified professional (e.g., a doctor or a nurse practitioner) with or without known in the art laboratory test(s) of sample(s) from the subject. Preferably, the subject is a human. Non-limiting examples of diseases and conditions include diseases having the symptom of cell hyperproliferation, e.g., a cancer.
[0148] The term “tautomer” refers to structural isomers that readily interconvert, often by relocation of a proton. Tautomers are distinct chemical species that can be identified by differing spectroscopic characteristics, but generally cannot be isolated individually. Non-limiting examples of tautomers include ketone - enol, enamine - imine, amide - imidic acid, nitroso - oxime, ketene - ynol, and amino acid - ammonium carboxylate.
[0149] “Treatment” and "treating," as used herein, refer to the medical management of a subject with the intent to improve, ameliorate, stabilize, prevent, or cure a disease or condition. This term includes active treatment (treatment directed to improve the disease or condition); causal treatment (treatment directed to the cause of the associated disease or condition); palliative treatment (treatment designed for the relief of symptoms of the disease or condition); preventative treatment (treatment directed to minimizing or partially or completely inhibiting the development of the associated disease or condition); and supportive treatment (treatment employed to supplement another therapy).

[0162] DETAILED DESCRIPTION
[0163] In general, the present disclosure demonstrates the unexpected efficacy of cancer treatments including multiple sources of replication stress. In particular, the present disclosure relates to the combination of one or more replication stress biomarkers (e.g., a mutation or gene amplification of a gene associated with replication stress, e.g., a mutation or gene amplification of KRAS, NRAS, HRAS, TP53, CCNE1, CDK4, CDK6, CDK12, CDKN2A, CDC25A, EGFR, FBXW7, c-MYC, PIK3CA, PPP2R1A, PTEN, RB1, BRAF, a prior or current infection with HPV, or a combination thereof) and one or more therapeutic agents that exacerbate replication stress or prevent cellular recovery from replication stress (e.g., a Myt1 inhibitor, alone and in combination with a second therapeutic agent). The disclosure further highlights methods of using Myt1 inhibitors for the treatment of cancers with a replication stress biomarker, alone and in combination with a second therapeutic agent.
[0164] Cancer is commonly associated with some form of replication stress - a decrease in control over cell division. Many cancers include a mutated protein associated with a cellular signaling pathway (e.g., a cell-cycle signaling pathway), resulting in decreased regulation of cell division, frequently resulting in the growth of tumors. Several replication stress mutations to a genome can result in a loss of control over cell division (e.g., mutations to any gene encoding a protein which helps regulate cell division). A cell exhibiting a high level of replication stress, may be identified by one or more replication stress biomarkers (e.g., a mutation or gene amplification of KRAS, NRAS, HRAS, TP53, CCNE1, CDK4, CDK6, CDK12, CDKN2A, CDC25A, EGFR, FBXW7, c-MYC, PIK3CA, PPP2R1A, PTEN, RB1, BRAF, a prior or current infection with HPV, or a combination thereof).
[0165] A cancer may be considered a cancer exhibiting a high level of replication stress if it includes one or more replication stress biomarkers (e.g., a mutation or gene amplification of KRAS, NRAS, HRAS, TP53, CCNE1, CDK4, CDK6, CDK12, CDKN2A, CDC25A, EGFR, FBXW7, c-MYC, PIK3CA, PPP2R1A, PTEN, RB1, BRAF, a prior or current infection with HPV, or a combination thereof).
[0166] One method for targeting cancers with replication stress mutations is to administer one or more therapeutic agents which exacerbate the uncontrolled cell division. By placing the cancer cells under increased replication stress or by preventing the recovery from said replication stress, the viability of the daughter cancer cells decreases through the induction of, e.g., DNA breaks and chromosome pulverization as cells fail to complete DNA replication or chromosome segregation before the next mitotic event. Membrane-associated tyrosine and threonine-specific cdc2-inhibatory kinase (Myt1) inhibitors may serve as one such therapeutic agent.
[0167] Myt1 inhibitors may be used to inhibit Myt1 in a cell, e.g., a cell in a subject (e.g., a cell under replication stress or a cell with a replication stress biomarker). Myt1 is a cell cycle regulating kinase localized predominantly in the endoplasmic reticulum and Golgi complex. It is part of the Wee family of kinases that includes Wee1 and Weel b. It is involved in the negative regulation of the Cdk1-Cyclin B complex which promotes the progression of cells from G2-phase into the mitotic phase (M-phase) of the cell cycle. During DNA damage, Myt1 drives the phosphorylation on Cdk1 (both Tyr15 and Thr14 of Cdk1) which maintains the kinase complex in an inactive state in G2 as part of the G2 checkpoint response along with Wee1 (which mediates only Tyr15 phosphorylation) and prevents entry into mitosis until the damage has been repaired. Additionally, it has been proposed that Myt1 directly interacts with Cdk1 complexes in the cytoplasm and prevents their nuclear translocation thus inhibiting cell cycle progression.
[0168] Myt1 has been implicated as a potentially important cancer target as it is essential in many cancer cells. Over-expression of Myt1 has been observed in various cancers including hepatocellular carcinoma as well as clear-cell renal-cell carcinoma. Myt1 downregulation has a minor role in unperturbed cells but has a more prominent role in cells exposed to DNA damage. Additionally, cells that exhibit high levels of replication stress may be particularly sensitive to loss of Myt1 function, as these cells will be prone to entering mitosis prematurely with compromised genomic material leading to mitotic catastrophe.
[0169] Myt1 inhibitors (e.g., any of compounds 1 to 326) may be particularly useful in the treatment of tumors harboring a replication stress biomarker (e.g., a mutation or gene amplification of a gene which results in replication stress (e.g., a mutation or gene amplification of KRAS, NRAS, HRAS, TP53, CCNE1, CDK4, CDK6, CDK12, CDKN2A, CDC25A, EGFR, FBXW7, c-MYC, PIK3CA, PPP2R1A, PTEN, RB1, BRAF, a prior or current infection with HPV, or a combination thereof).
[0170] Particular benefit in the treatment of a cancer associated with a replication stress biomarker may be observed in a combination therapy, e.g., a combination therapy between an Myt1 inhibitor and a second chemotherapeutic agent, (e.g., a DNA-synthesis interfering chemotherapy agent, e.g., a nucleoside analog (e.g., gemcitabine) or an Atr inhibitor (e.g., any one of compound A1-A152)). A synergistic effect (e.g., a synthetic lethal effect) may be observed for the combination, wherein the second chemotherapeutic agent (in combination with a replication stress biomarker, e.g., a replication stress biomarker described herein) increases the cell’s dependence on PKMYT1 for controlling mitosis. The Myt1 inhibitor then inhibits PKMYT1 activity, driving premature mitosis and resulting in efficient cell death.
[0171] The second therapeutic agent may be, e.g., a Wee1 inhibitor, Fen1 inhibitor, Topi inhibitor, Rrm1 inhibitor, Rrm2 inhibitor, Aurkb inhibitor, Top2A inhibitor, Atr inhibitor, Ttk inhibitor, Sod1 inhibitor, Sod2 inhibitor, Bub1 inhibitor, Cdc7 inhibitor, Sae1 inhibitor, Plk1 inhibitor, Uba2 inhibitor, Dut inhibitor, Hdac3 inhibitor, Chekl inhibitor, Aurka inhibitor, Men1 inhibitor, Doti I inhibitor, Crebbp inhibitor, Ezh2 inhibitor, Plk4 inhibitor, Haspin inhibitor, Mettl3 inhibitor, nucleoside analog, platinum-based DNA damaging agent, or a combination thereof.
[0172] Replication Stress Biomarkers
[0173] The present disclosure includes methods for the treatment of a cell (e.g., a cell in a tumor or a cell in a subject) including a replication stress biomarker. In some embodiments, the cell is a cancer cell. In some embodiments, the cancer includes a replication stress biomarker. In some embodiments, the cancer is associated with or characterized by a replication stress biomarker. In some embodiments, the cancer has been previously identified as including a replication stress biomarker. In some embodiments, the replication stress biomarker is a mutation to a replication stress associated gene. In some embodiments, the replication stress biomarker is a gain-of-function mutation. In some embodiments, the replication stress biomarker is a loss-of-function mutation. In some embodiments, the replication stress biomarker is overexpression or gene amplification of a replication stress associated gene. In some embodiments, the replication stress biomarker is reduced expression of a replication stress associated gene. In some embodiments, the cancer is characterized by a resistance to an inhibitor of a replication associated protein. In some embodiments, the replication stress biomarker is a mutation or gene amplification to a gene encoding a cell-division-signaling protein. In some embodiments, the replication stress biomarker is a mutation (e.g., a gain-of-function mutation or a loss-of-function mutation), overexpression, or gene amplification of KRAS, NRAS, HRAS, TP53, CCNE1, CDK4, CDK6, CDK12, CDKN2A, CDC25A, EGFR, FBXW7, c-MYC, PIK3CA, PPP2R1A, PTEN, RB1, BRAF, a prior or current infection with HPV, or a combination thereof.
[0174] RAS Biomarkers
[0175] The Ras family of proteins includes 3 closely related proteins: Hras, Kras, and Nras (encoded for by the HRAS gene, the KRAS gene, and the NRAS gene respectively) expressed in mammalian cells. Ras proteins are members of the protein superfamily of small guanidine triphosphatases (GTPases, e.g., Ras, Rho, Ran, Rab, and Arf GTPases). Ras proteins may bind to GTP molecules, converting the RAS protein into an “activated state” (Ras-GTP). The activated Ras-GTP complex may then be dephosphorylated, converting the Ras protein into a “deactivated state” (Ras-GDP). Many cancers are highly associated with mutations to a Ras protein (e.g., uterine cancer, ovarian cancer, bladder cancer, pancreatic cancer, mesothelioma, kidney cancer, gastric cancer, colorectal cancer, breast cancer, stomach cancer, esophageal cancer, lung cancer, thyroid cancer, melanoma, and endometrial cancer). KRAS mutations are particularly common in colorectal cancers, pancreatic cancers, lung cancers, gynecological cancers (e.g., uterine cancers, ovarian cancers, or cervical cancers) and gastroesophageal cancers. For example, reports have shown that more than 90% of pancreatic cancers, 50% of colorectal cancers, and 30% of lung cancers include a KRAS mutation. HRAS mutations are particularly common in thyroid cancers, kidney cancers, bladder cancers, and head and neck cancers. NRAS mutations are particularly common in colorectal cancers and melanomas.
[0176] Ras proteins are critical members of the Ras / Mapk pathway (also referred to as the Ras / Mapk pathway, the Mapk / Erk pathway, or the Ras-Raf-Mek-Erk pathway) and are implicated in a handful of other signaling pathways including the Pi3k / Akt pathway, the Rac / Pak pathway, the RASSF1 / 5 - MST2 pathway, the Rho pathway, Rap1 signaling, and PLCe signaling. The proteins of the Ras / Mapk pathway communicate via exchange of groups (e.g., phosphate groups) both between each other and nucleotides. For example, the signaling pathway may be activated by phosphorylating a diphosphate nucleoside (e.g., phosphorylating a GDP molecule) or dephosphorylating a triphosphate nucleoside (e.g., dephosphorylating GTP); or the signaling pathway may transduce a signal by interacting a phosphorylated first protein with a second protein, transferring the phosphate from the first protein to the second protein, resulting in a dephosphorylated first protein and a phosphorylated second protein. Active Ras-GTP begins the start of a kinase cascade, activating or transducing signals to several cell signaling pathways (e.g., the Ras / Mapk pathway, the Pi3k / Akt pathway, the Rac / Pak pathway, the Rassf1 / 5 - Mst2 pathway, the Rho pathway, Rap1 signaling, and Pice signaling), including pathways responsible for regulating cell division.
[0177] Mutations to any protein in the Ras / Mapk pathway can result in a breakdown of cellular signaling, either preventing the cell from transducing certain signals to the nucleus or stimulating the cell as if an absent signal were present. For example, mutations to a RAS gene (e.g., KRAS) may inhibit the dephosphorylation of the Ras-GTP complex. This results in the prolonged activation of the Ras protein, and therefore prolonged signaling (e.g., signaling to continue cell division). Uncontrolled cell division upon activation of the Ras protein is known to drive replication stress.
[0178] More than 25% of human tumors include a mutated RAS gene. Additionally, several cancers are associated with an increased expression (i.e., gene amplification) of a RAS gene, particularly amplification of KRAS. However, due to many factors such as the structure and high binding affinity of Kras for GTP, KRAS-associated cancers are incredibly difficult to treat via chemotherapy.
[0179] Myt1 inhibitors (e.g., any one of compounds 1 to 328) may serve as particularly potent chemotherapeutic treatments for cancers associated with a RAS mutation (e.g., KRAS-associated cancers, HRAS-associated cancers, or / VRAS-associated cancers). Myt1 inhibitors, as described herein, inhibit the ability of treated cells to recover from replication stress. Therefore, in combination with RAS mutations which induce replication stress, Myt1 inhibitors may drive premature mitosis in affected cells, thereby killing the mutant cells.
[0180] In some embodiments, the RAS mutation is a KRAS mutation. In some embodiments, the KRAS mutation encodes for an amino acid substitution in a Kras protein, wherein the amino acid substitution is G12D, G12V, G12C, G13D, G12R, G12A, Q61 H, G12S, A146T, G13C, Q61 L, Q61 R, K117N, A146V, G12F, Q61 K, L19F, Q22K, V14I, A59T, A146P, G13R, G12L, or G13V, and combinations thereof. In some embodiments, the RAS mutation is an HRAS mutation, the HRAS mutation encodes for an amino acid substitution in a Hras protein, wherein the amino acid substitution is Q61 R, G13R, Q61 K, G12S, Q61 L, G12D, G13V, G13D, G12C, K117N, A59T, G12V, G13C, Q61 H, G13S, A18V, D119N, G13N, A146T, A66T, G12A, A146V, G12N, or G12R, and combinations thereof. In some embodiments, the RAS mutation is a NRAS mutation. In some embodiments, the NRAS mutation encodes for an amino acid substitution in a Nras protein, wherein the amino acid substitution is Q61 R, Q61 K, G12D, Q61 L, Q61 H, G13R, G13D, G12S, G12C, G12V, G12A, G13V, G12R, P185S, G13C, A146T, G60E, Q61 P, A59D, E132K, E49K, T50I, A146V, orA59T, and combinations thereof.
[0181] In some embodiments, the cancer to be treated is a cancers associated with a RAS mutation (e.g., a RAS mutation described above). In some embodiments, the cancer is uterine cancer, ovarian cancer, bladder cancer, pancreatic cancer, mesothelioma, kidney cancer, gastric cancer, ovarian cancer, breast cancer, stomach cancer, esophageal cancer, lung cancer, or endometrial cancer. In embodiments wherein the RAS mutation is a KRAS mutation, the cancer is preferably colorectal cancer, pancreatic cancer, lung cancer, a gynecological cancer (e.g., uterine cancer, ovarian cancer, cervical cancer), or gastro-esophageal cancers. In embodiments wherein the RAS mutation is a HRAS mutation, the cancer is preferably thyroid cancer, kidney cancer, bladder cancer, or a head and neck cancer. In embodiments wherein the RAS mutation is an NRAS mutation, the cancer is preferably a colorectal cancer or a melanoma. In some embodiments, the cancer is associated with RAS amplification. In some embodiments, the cancer is associated with KRAS amplification. TP53 Biomarkers
[0182] Transformation-related protein 53 (alternatively referred to as p53, Tumor Protein P53, cellular tumor antigen p53, or Tp53; encoded by the TP53 gene) is a regulatory protein associated with ensuring healthy cell division by preventing genomic mutation. Tp53 plays a role in activating DNA repair, preventing the transition to the mitotic stage of cell division, and the initiation of apoptosis, in cells with sufficiently damaged DNA. Due to its role in actively repairing DNA, Tp53 is classified as a “tumor suppressor gene,” and is commonly mutated in cancer cells. TP53 mutations are found in from about 30% to about 50% of ovarian cancers, esophageal cancers, colorectal cancers, head and neck cancers, and lung cancers. As a result, mutations to TP53 may be replication stress mutations. Accordingly, cancers harboring a TP53 mutation may be particularly susceptible to treatment with a drug causing replication stress (e.g., an Myt1 inhibitor, e.g., any one of compounds 1 to 328, optionally administered as a combination therapy). In some embodiments, the cancer to be treated by the methods of the present disclosure include a TP53 mutation. In some embodiments, the TP53 mutation encodes for Tp53z-.
[0183] CCNE1 Biomarkers
[0184] Cyclin E1 (encoded by the CCNE1 gene) is involved in the G1 to S phase cell cycle transition. In late G1 phase of the cell cycle, it complexes with cyclin-dependent kinase 2 (Cdk2) to promote E2F transcription factor activation and entry into S-phase. Cyclin E1 levels are tightly regulated during normal cell cycles, accumulating at the G1 / S transition and being completely degraded by the end of S phase. The cell cycle-dependent proteasomal degradation of Cyclin E1 is mediated by the SCFFBW7ubiquitin ligase complex. Once activated in late G1 , the Cyclin E1 / Cdk2 complex promotes the transition into S phase through phosphorylation and inactivation of pRB and subsequent release of E2F transcription factors. S phase is promoted by E2F-mediated transcription of numerous genes involved in DNA replication including the pre-replication complex subunits Orel , Cdc6, Cdt1 , and the Mem helicase factors. CCNE1 is frequently amplified and / or over-expressed in human cancers. CCNE1 amplification has been reported in several cancer types including ovarian cancer, breast cancer, uterine cancer, pancreatic cancer, bladder cancer, gastric cancer, esophageal cancers, and sarcomas.
[0185] CCNE1 over-expression is thought to drive tumorigenesis by inducing genome instability (e.g., increased origin firing, defective nucleotide pools, transcription-replication conflicts, and / or fork instability). Over-expression of CCNE1 has been shown to induce replication stress characterized by slowed or stalled replication forks and loss-of-heterozygosity at fragile sites. The primary mechanism by which CCNE1 over-expression causes replication stress is increased origin firing in early S-phase followed by depletion of replication factors including nucleotide pools. The decrease in overall replication proteins and nucleotides decreases fork progression and causes stalling and subsequent collapse or reversal.
[0186] As a result, CCNE1 amplification is a replication stress biomarker. Accordingly, cancers harboring a CCNE1 mutation, or characterized by CCNE1 over-expression may be particularly susceptible to treatment with a drug causing replication stress (e.g., an Myt1 inhibitor, e.g., any one of compounds 1 to 328, optionally administered as a combination therapy).
[0187] In some embodiments, the cancer may include a CCNE1 mutation, overexpression, or amplification. In some embodiments, the cancer includes at least one other replication stress biomarker (e.g., a replication stress biomarker described herein) and a CCNE1 mutation, overexpression, or amplification.
[0188] CDK12 Biomarkers
[0189] Cyclin dependent kinase 12 (Cdk12; encoded for by the CDK12 gene) is a member of the cyclin dependent kinase (Cdk) family of cell-cycle serine-threonine kinases. Cdk family kinases interact with a variety of regulatory proteins via phosphorylation of prescribed sites of the protein, either activating or inhibiting the protein. Cdk proteins play regulatory roles at numerous phases of the cell cycle and the transitions therebetween. The entire family is considered important for maintaining healthy cell division across the cell cycle. Cdk12 belongs to the subclass of Cdk proteins which are particularly effective in the regulation of gene transcription. Cdk12 is further implicated in RNA splicing, translation, and the DNA damage response. Accordingly, cancers harboring a mutated Cdk12 protein, or cancers characterized by a reduced expression of a Cdk protein, may be particularly susceptible to treatment with a drug causing replication stress (e.g., a Myt1 inhibitor, e.g., any one of compounds 1 to 328, optionally administered as a combination therapy).
[0190] In some embodiments, the replication stress biomarker is a CDK12 mutation. In some embodiments, the cancer to be treated by a method of the present disclosure includes a CDK12 mutation. In some embodiments, the CDK12 mutation is a loss-of-function mutation.
[0191] CDK4 and CDK6 Biomarkers
[0192] Cyclin-dependent kinase 4 (Cdk4; encoded for by the CDK4 gene) and cyclin-dependent kinase 6 (Cdk6; encoded for by the CDK6 gene) are both members of the cyclin dependent kinase (Cdk) family of cell-cycle serine-threonine kinases. Cdk4 and Cdk6 both belong to a subclass of Cdk proteins which regulate progression through the cell cycle. Cdk4 and Cdk6 are both highly implicated in regulating the cellular transition between G1 phase and S phase of the cell cycle. As such, CDK4 and CDK6 are common drug targets in cancer treatment, as inhibition of Cdk4 or Cdk6 arrests cellular development in the G1 phase, and thereby prevent or slow mitosis. Some cancers (e.g., cancers including a CDK4 mutation or a CDK6 mutation) have been found to be resistant to chemotherapeutic treatment with a Cdk4 or Cdk6 inhibitor. Accordingly, cancers which are include a CDK4 mutation or a CDK6 mutation (or are resistant to chemotherapeutic treatment with an inhibitor of Cdk4 or Cdk6) are under a high degree of replication stress and therefore may be particularly susceptible to treatment with a drug causing replication stress. In some embodiments, the CDK4 mutation is a loss-of-function mutation. In some embodiments, the CDK6 mutation is a loss-of-function mutation. In some embodiments, the cancer to be treated by the methods of the present disclosure includes a CDK4 mutation. In some embodiments, the cancer to be treated by the methods of the present disclosure includes a CDK6 mutation. In some embodiments, the cancer to be treated is resistant to treatment with a Cdk4 inhibitor a Cdk6 inhibitor, or a CDK 4 / 6 inhibitor (e.g., palbociclib, ribociclib, and abemaciclib).
[0193] CDKN2A Biomarkers p16 (alternatively known as p16INK4a) and p14arf (both encoded for by the CDKN2A gene) are naturally produced Cdk4 and Cdk6 inhibitors. A mutation to CDKN2A (particularly loss-of-function mutation) may result in non-functional or reduced-function may serve to increase the expression of Cdk4 and Cdk6, thereby serving as a replication stress mutation. Accordingly, cancers harboring a CDKN2A mutation may be particularly susceptible to treatment with a drug causing replication stress (e.g., an Myt1 inhibitor, e.g., any one of compounds 1 to 328, optionally administered as a combination therapy). In some embodiments, the replication stress biomarker is a CDKN2A mutation. In some embodiments, the cancer to be treated by the methods of the present disclosure includes a CDKN2A mutation. In some embodiments, the CDKN2A mutation is a loss-of-function mutation.
[0194] CDC25A Biomarkers
[0195] M-phase inducer phosphatase 1 (Cdc25A; encoded by the CDC25A gene). Cdc25A is a regulatory protein phosphatase which serves to remove inhibitory phosphorylation events from Cdk proteins (in particular, Cdk2, Cdk4, and Cdk6). Accordingly, mutations to CDC25A (particularly gain-of- function mutation) may decrease phosphorylation of a Cdk protein, thereby increasing the activity of the Cdk protein and placing the cell in replicative stress. Accordingly, cancers harboring a CDC25A mutation may be particularly susceptible to treatment with a drug causing replication stress (e.g., an Myt1 inhibitor, e.g., any one of compounds 1 to 328, optionally administered as a combination therapy). In some embodiments, the replication stress biomarker is a CDC25A mutation. In some embodiments, the cancer to be treated by the methods of the present disclosure includes a gain-of-function CDC25A mutation.
[0196] EGFR Biomarkers
[0197] The epidermal growth factor receptor (Egfr, alternatively referred to as Herl or ErbB1 ; encoded for by the EGFR gene) and is a transmembrane glycoproteins including an extracellular domain capable of binding to extracellular growth factors (e.g., epidermal growth factor (Egf), heparin binding Efg-like growth factor (Hbegf), betacellulin (Btc), amphiregulin (Areg), epiregulin (Ereg), epigen (Epgn), etc.) and an intracellular domain including a tyrosine-kinase domain. Binding of extracellular growth factor proteins to the extracellular domain promotes a confirmational change in the intracellular tyrosine-kinase domain, which in turn activates intracellular signaling pathways, particularly those associated with cell division (e.g., the Ras / Mapk pathway). Through this mechanism, Egfr serves to transduce extracellular signals (e.g., those from extracellular polypeptide growth factor), into intracellular signals (e.g., as a part of the Ras / Mapk pathway) to promote cell division. Mutations to EGFR may result in a confirmational change to the tyrosine-kinase domain, independent of any interaction with an extracellular growth factor peptide, causing a perpetual activation of cell signals to undergo cell division. Egfr mutations are commonly observed in many cancers and are particularly common in lung cancer. Accordingly, cancers harboring a EGFR mutation (e.g., a gain-of-function mutation) may be particularly susceptible to treatment with a drug causing replication stress (e.g., an Myt1 inhibitor, e.g., any one of compounds 1 to 328, optionally administered as a combination therapy).
[0198] In some embodiments, the replication stress biomarker is an EGFR mutation. In some embodiments, the cancer to be treated by the methods of the present disclosure includes an EGFR mutation. In some embodiments, the cancer to be treated by the methods of the present disclosure includes a gain-of-function EGFR mutation. FBXW7 Biomarkers
[0199] Proteins containing at least one F-box domain (referred to as F-box proteins; e.g., the Fbxw7 protein encoded for by the gene FBXW7), in particular FBXW7, is frequently mutated in several cancer types including endometrial, colorectal, and gastric, ranging in frequency from 5-35%. FBXW7 driver mutations are observed in the more aggressive subtypes of endometrial cancer including UCS (~35%) and USC (~25%). FBXW7 has a diverse spectrum of loss-of-function mutations in cancer including truncating mutations peppered across the gene and missense mutations within the Cyclin E1 recognizing WD40 repeats. Fbxw7 functions as a homodimer within the SCF complex and many deleterious missense mutations within the WD40 repeats are mostly heterozygous and dominant negative. Remarkably, several recurring hotspot missense mutations are found in the WD40 repeats including R465, R479, and R505 - all of which disrupt Cyclin E1 binding and ubiquitylation. Accordingly, cancers harboring a FBXW7 mutation may be particularly susceptible to treatment with a drug causing replication stress (e.g., an Myt1 inhibitor, e.g., any one of compounds 1 to 328, optionally administered as a combination therapy).
[0200] In some embodiments, the cancer may include a FBXW7 mutation (e.g., a loss of function mutation). In some embodiments, the cancer includes at least one other replication stress biomarker (e.g., a replication stress biomarker described herein) and a FBXW7 mutation. c-MYC Biomarkers
[0201] The Myc family of cell signaling proteins includes c-Myc, l-Myc, and n-Myc. c-Myc, l-Myc, and n- Myc are encoded for by the c-MYC, l-MYC, and n-MYC genes respectively. The MYC genes perform several regulatory processes across cellular functions, many of which are associated with cell division, cell proliferation, and DNA replication. Myc proteins aid in the regulation of almost 15% of all genes. Mutations in MYC genes, in particular mutations in c-MYC, are commonly found in cancer, wherein the mutation results in, e.g., uncontrolled cell division. Many c-MYC associated cancers are commonly considered undruggable, precluding conventional chemotherapeutic approaches. However, cancers harboring a mutation to a gene encoding a Myc protein (e.g., a mutation to c-MYC) mutation may be particularly susceptible to treatment with a drug causing replication stress (e.g., a Myt1 inhibitor, e.g., any one of compounds 1 to 328, optionally administered as a combination therapy).
[0202] In some embodiments, the replication stress biomarker is a c-MYC mutation. In some embodiments, the cancer to be treated by the methods of the present disclosure includes a gain-of- function c-MYC mutation. In some embodiments, the cancer to be treated includes gene amplification of a c-MYC gene.
[0203] PIK3CA Biomarkers
[0204] Phosphatidylinositol-4,5-biphosphate 3-kinase, catalytic subunit alpha (Pik3ca, alternatively referred to as P110a; encoded for by the PIK3CA gene) is the catalytic subunit of phosphatidylinositol- 4,5-bisphosphate 3-kinase (Pi3k). Pik3ca uses ATP to phosphorylate phosphatidylinositols (Ptdlns) such as Ptdlns4P, Ptdlns(3,4)P2, Ptdlns(3,4,5)P3, and Ptdlns(4,5)P2. Ptdlns may then bind to protein kinase B (PKB or alternatively AKT) Through this phosphorylation pathway, PI3K plays an important role in cell signaling, such as the Pi3k / Akt / mtor pathway. The Pi3k / Akt / mtor pathway is a critical inducer tissue growth in cells. As a result, mutations to Pi3k, in particular gain-of-function mutations to the Pik3ca subunit, are implicated in many cancers. For example, nearly one-third of breast and cervical cancers include a PIK3CA mutation. Further, PIKC3A mutations may result in a number of genetic disorders resulting in the overgrowth of body parts in a subject, collectively referred to as Pik3ca-overgrowth spectrum (PROS). Accordingly, cancers harboring a mutation in a Pi3k gene (e.g., a mutation to the Pik3ca subunit) may be particularly susceptible to treatment with a drug causing replication stress (e.g., a Myt1 inhibitor, e.g., any one of compounds 1 to 328, optionally administered as a combination therapy).
[0205] In some embodiments, the replication stress biomarker is a mutation in a PI3K protein. In some embodiments, the replication stress biomarker is a PIK3CA mutation. In some embodiments, the cancer to be treated by the methods of the present disclosure includes a gain-of-function PIK3CA mutation.
[0206] PPP2R1A Biomarkers
[0207] Serine / threonine-protein phosphatase 2A 65kDa regulatory subunit A alpha isoform (Ppp2r1a, encoded by the PPP2R1A gene) is a regulatory subunit of protein phosphatase 2 (Pp2a), one of the four major Ser / Thr phosphatases. Pp2a is broadly responsible for phosphorylating several cell division signaling pathways. Pp2a is implicated for its role in regulating tumor production by controlling phosphorylation events in cell signaling pathways. Mutation to PPP2R1A (e.g., loss-of-function mutations), result in the loss of Pp2a’s ability to regulate phosphorylation events, removing a critical biological response to cancer-causing mutations. PPP2R1A mutations are commonly observed in endometrial cancer, ovarian cancer, and uterine cancer. Accordingly, cancers harboring a PPP2R1A mutation may be particularly susceptible to treatment with a drug causing replication stress (e.g., an Myt1 inhibitor, e.g., any one of compounds 1 to 328, optionally administered as a combination therapy).
[0208] In some embodiments, the replication stress biomarker is a PPP2R1A mutation. In some embodiments, the cancer to be treated by the methods of the present disclosure includes PPP2R1A mutation. In some embodiments, the cancer to be treated by the methods of the present disclosure includes a loss-of-function PPP2R1A mutation.
[0209] PTEN Biomarkers
[0210] Phosphatase and tensin homolog (Pten; encoded for by the PTEN gene) is a cell-cycle regulating phosphatase. Unlike many other protein tyrosine phosphatases, Pten preferentially dephosphorylates phosphoinositide substrates. Pten plays a role in the regulation of several cell signaling pathways, including the Akt / Pkb signaling pathway. PTEN is commonly observed to be mutated (e.g., a loss-of- function mutation) in tumor cells. PTEN mutations are commonly observed in breast cancer, prostate cancer, bladder cancer, lung cancer, endometrial cancer, lung cancer, melanoma, and head and neck cancer. Accordingly, cancers harboring a PTEN mutation may be particularly susceptible to treatment with a drug causing replication stress (e.g., a Myt1 inhibitor, e.g., any one of compounds 1 to 328, optionally administered as a combination therapy).
[0211] In some embodiments, the replication stress biomarker is a PTEN mutation. In some embodiments, the cancer to be treated by the methods of the present disclosure includes a PTEN mutation. In some embodiments, the cancer to be treated by the methods of the present disclosure includes a loss-of-function PTEN mutation. RB1 Biomarkers
[0212] The retinoblastoma protein (RB, or alternatively pRB; encoded for by the RB1 gene) is a cell cycle protein which serves to suppress cell cycle progression in cells by binding to transcription factor proteins (e.g., E2 promoter binding protein dimerization partner (E2F-DP) dimers), preventing the transduction of signals therefrom. Once the cell has sufficiently grown and / or received a signal to begin cell division, pRB is phosphorylated by CDK proteins, thereby inactivating pRB, allowing cell division to progress. Cancers associated with RB1 mutations include brain cancer, bone cancer, muscle cancer, prostate cancer, uterine cancer, breast cancer, lung cancer, and melanoma. Mutations to RB1 (e.g., loss of function mutations) may result in permanently inactive pRB, thereby causing uncontrolled cell division. Accordingly, cancers harboring a RB1 mutation may be particularly susceptible to treatment with a drug causing replication stress (e.g., an Myt1 inhibitor, e.g., any one of compounds 1 to 328, optionally administered as a combination therapy).
[0213] In some embodiments, the replication stress biomarker is a RB1 mutation. In some embodiments, the cancer to be treated by the methods of the present disclosure includes a loss-of-function RB1 mutation.
[0214] BRAF Biomarkers
[0215] The Braf protein BRAF (encoded for by the BRAF gene) is a member of the Raf family of proteins. The Raf family of proteins also includes Araf (encoded for by the ARAF gene) and Craf (encoded for by the CRAF gene), which play a critical role in several cell signaling pathways, including the Ras / Mapk pathway. Raf proteins are the second step in the Ras / Mapk pathway, and therefore wild type Raf proteins require interaction with a Ras protein to transduce a cellular signal. Similar to mutated Ras proteins (e.g., as described above), mutations to Raf proteins commonly prevent dephosphorylation of the phosphorylated Raf complex, resulting in a continuous cellular signal to undergo cell division processes, which may result in the development of tumors. Cancers associated with a BRAF mutations include melanoma, leukemia, lymphoma, and lung cancer. Cancer harboring a BRAF mutation may be particularly susceptible to treatment with a drug causing replication stress (e.g., an Myt1 inhibitor, e.g., any one of compounds 1 to 328, optionally administered as a combination therapy).
[0216] In some embodiments, the replication stress biomarker is a BRAF mutation. In some embodiments, the cancer to be treated by the methods of the present disclosure includes a BRAF mutation. In some embodiments, the cancer to be treated by the methods of the present disclosure includes a gain-of-function BRAF mutation.
[0217] HPV Biomarkers
[0218] The human papillomavirus (HPV) is a DNA virus commonly associated with the development of cancers in subjects previously suffering therefrom. HPV is commonly observed to cause DNA damage (e.g., mutations, e.g., replication stress mutations) to subjects. Even after the subject is cured of HPV (e.g., by removal of viral particles from the subject or relief of a symptom associated therewith), the DNA damage may result in tumor growth or the development of a cancer in the subject. HPV infections are known to result in cervical cancer, penile cancer, vaginal cancer, vulvar cancer, colorectal cancer, and throat cancer. In particular, some reports demonstrate that more than 90% of cervical cancers are associated with a prior or current HPV infection. Accordingly, cancers associated with or resulting from infection with HPV may be particularly susceptible to treatment with a drug causing replication stress (e.g., an Myt1 inhibitor, e.g., any one of compounds 1 to 328, optionally administered as a combination therapy).
[0219] In some embodiments, the replication stress biomarker is an HPV infection. In some embodiments, the cancer treated by a method of the present disclosure developed in a patient previously infected with HPV. In some embodiments, the prior infection with HPV resulted in DNA damage. In some embodiments, the DNA damage causes a replication stress mutation. In some embodiments, the replication stress mutation is a CDKN2A mutation. In some embodiments, the cancer to be treated by the methods of the present disclosure includes a loss-of-function CDKN2A mutation.

Methods Of Treatment
[0294] Methods disclosed herein may be used for the treatment of a cancer, e.g., a cancer with a replication stress biomarker. Methods disclosed herein may include the step of administering to the subject in need thereof a therapeutically effective amount of a membrane-associated tyrosine and threonine-specific cdc2 inhibitory kinase (Myt1) inhibitor and a therapeutically effective amount of a second therapeutic. The second therapeutic may be, e.g., Wee1 inhibitor, Fen1 inhibitor, Topi inhibitor, Rrm1 inhibitor, Rrm2 inhibitor, Aurkb inhibitor, Top2A inhibitor, Atr inhibitor, Ttk inhibitor, Sod1 inhibitor, Sod2 inhibitor, Bub1 inhibitor, Cdc7 inhibitor, Sae1 inhibitor, Plk1 inhibitor, Uba2 inhibitor, Dut inhibitor, Hdac3 inhibitor, Chekl inhibitor, Aurka inhibitor, Men1 inhibitor, Doti I inhibitor, Crebbp inhibitor, Ezh2 inhibitor, Plk4 inhibitor, Haspin inhibitor, Mettl3 inhibitor, nucleoside analog, platinum-based DNA damaging agent, or a combination thereof.
[0295] The cancer may have or be characterized by a replication stress biomarker. Administration of a Myt1 inhibitor to a subject with a cancer which has been previously identified to include a replication stress biomarker, or a cancer known to have a replication stress biomarker, may increase the replication stress of the cancer cell. The combination of a replication stress biomarker and a replication stress inducing therapeutic (such as Myt1) may result in premature mitosis of a cell, resulting in a daughter cell or daughter cells which may be unviable (e.g., due to induced DNA breaks or chromosome pulverization), ultimately resulting in the death of the cancer cell. In some embodiment, the replication stress of the cancer cell may be increased by administering a second therapeutic (e.g., a Wee1 inhibitor, a Fen1 inhibitor, a Topi inhibitor, an Rrm1 inhibitor, an Rrm2 inhibitor, an Aurkb inhibitor, a Top2A inhibitor, an Atr inhibitor, a Ttk inhibitor, an Sod1 inhibitor, an Sod2 inhibitor, a Bub1 inhibitor, a Cdc7 inhibitor, an Sae1 inhibitor, a Plk1 inhibitor, a Uba2 inhibitor, a Dut inhibitor, an Hdac3 inhibitor, a Chekl inhibitor, an Aurka inhibitor, a Men1 inhibitor, a Doti I inhibitor, a Crebbp inhibitor, an Ezh2 inhibitor, a Plk4 inhibitor, an Haspin inhibitor, a Mettl3 inhibitor, a nucleoside analog, a platinum-based DNA damaging agent, or a combination thereof).

[0310] Pharmaceutical Compositions
[0311] The compounds used in the methods described herein are preferably formulated into pharmaceutical compositions for administration to human subjects in a biologically compatible form suitable for administration in vivo. Pharmaceutical compositions typically include a compound as described herein and a pharmaceutically acceptable excipient. Certain pharmaceutical compositions may include one or more additional pharmaceutically active agents described herein.
[0312] The compounds described herein can also be used in the form of the free base, in the form of salts, zwitterions, solvates, or as prodrugs, or pharmaceutical compositions thereof. All forms are within the scope of the invention. The compounds, salts, zwitterions, solvates, prodrugs, or pharmaceutical compositions thereof, may be administered to a patient in a variety of forms depending on the selected route of administration, as will be understood by those skilled in the art. The compounds used in the methods described herein may be administered, for example, by oral, parenteral, buccal, sublingual, nasal, rectal, patch, pump, or transdermal administration, and the pharmaceutical compositions formulated accordingly. Parenteral administration includes intravenous, intraperitoneal, subcutaneous, intramuscular, transepithelial, nasal, intrapulmonary, intrathecal, rectal, and topical modes of administration. Parenteral administration may be by continuous infusion over a selected period of time.
[0313] For human use, a compound of the invention can be administered alone or in admixture with a pharmaceutical carrier selected with regard to the intended route of administration and standard pharmaceutical practice. Pharmaceutical compositions for use in accordance with the present invention thus can be formulated in a conventional manner using one or more physiologically acceptable carriers including excipients and auxiliaries that facilitate processing of a compound of the invention into preparations which can be used pharmaceutically.
[0314] This invention also includes methods of administering pharmaceutical compositions which can contain one or more pharmaceutically acceptable carriers. In making the pharmaceutical compositions of the invention, the active ingredient is typically mixed with an excipient, diluted by an excipient, or enclosed within such a carrier in the form of, for example, a capsule, sachet, paper, or other container. When the excipient serves as a diluent, it can be a solid, semisolid, or liquid material (e.g., normal saline), which acts as a vehicle, carrier or medium for the active ingredient. Thus, the compositions can be in the form of tablets, powders, lozenges, sachets, cachets, elixirs, suspensions, emulsions, solutions, syrups, and soft and hard gelatin capsules. As is known in the art, the type of diluent can vary depending upon the intended route of administration. The resulting compositions can include additional agents, e.g., preservatives.
[0315] The excipient or carrier is selected on the basis of the mode and route of administration. Suitable pharmaceutical carriers, as well as pharmaceutical necessities for use in pharmaceutical formulations, are described in Remington: The Science and Practice of Pharmacy, 21st Ed., Gennaro, Ed., Lippincott Williams & Wilkins (2005), a well-known reference text in this field, and in the USP / NF (United States Pharmacopeia and the National Formulary). Examples of suitable excipients are lactose, dextrose, sucrose, sorbitol, mannitol, starches, gum acacia, calcium phosphate, alginates, tragacanth, gelatin, calcium silicate, microcrystalline cellulose, polyvinylpyrrolidone, cellulose, water, syrup, and methyl cellulose. The formulations can additionally include: lubricating agents, e.g., talc, magnesium stearate, and mineral oil; wetting agents; emulsifying and suspending agents; preserving agents, e.g., methyl- and propylhydroxy-benzoates; sweetening agents; and flavoring agents. Other exemplary excipients are described in Handbook of Pharmaceutical Excipients, 6th Edition, Rowe et al., Eds., Pharmaceutical Press (2009).
[0316] These pharmaceutical compositions can be manufactured in a conventional manner, e.g., by conventional mixing, dissolving, granulating, dragee-making, levigating, emulsifying, encapsulating, entrapping, or lyophilizing processes. Methods well known in the art for making formulations are found, for example, in Remington: The Science and Practice of Pharmacy, 21st Ed., Gennaro, Ed., Lippincott Williams & Wilkins (2005), and Encyclopedia of Pharmaceutical Technology, eds. J. Swarbrick and J. C. Boylan, 1988-1999, Marcel Dekker, New York. Proper formulation is dependent upon the route of administration chosen. The formulation and preparation of such compositions is well-known to those skilled in the art of pharmaceutical formulation. In preparing a formulation, the active compound can be milled to provide the appropriate particle size prior to combining with the other ingredients. If the active compound is substantially insoluble, it can be milled to a particle size of less than 200 mesh. If the active compound is substantially water soluble, the particle size can be adjusted by milling to provide a substantially uniform distribution in the formulation, e.g., about 40 mesh.
[0317] Dosages
[0318] The dosage of the compound used in the methods described herein, or pharmaceutically acceptable salts or prodrugs thereof, or pharmaceutical compositions thereof, can vary depending on many factors, e.g., the pharmacodynamic properties of the compound; the mode of administration; the age, health, and weight of the recipient; the nature and extent of the symptoms; the frequency of the treatment, and the type of concurrent treatment, if any; and the clearance rate of the compound in the animal to be treated. One of skill in the art can determine the appropriate dosage based on the above factors. The compounds used in the methods described herein may be administered initially in a suitable dosage that may be adjusted as required, depending on the clinical response. In some embodiments, a suitable daily dose of a compound of the invention will be that amount of the compound that is the lowest dose effective to produce a therapeutic effect. In some embodiments, an effective dose is a subtherapeutic dose relative to the monotherapy. Such an effective dose will generally depend upon the factors described above.
[0319] A compound of the invention may be administered to the patient in a single dose or in multiple doses. When multiple doses are administered, the doses may be separated from one another by, for example, 1-24 hours, 1-7 days, 1-4 weeks, or 1-12 months. The compound may be administered according to a schedule or the compound may be administered without a predetermined schedule. An active compound may be administered, for example, 1 , 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11 , or 12 times per day, every 2nd, 3rd, 4th, 5th, or 6th day, 1 , 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, or 7 times per week, 1 , 2, 3, 4, 5, or 6 times per month, or 1 , 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11 , or 12 times per year. It is to be understood that, for any particular subject, specific dosage regimes should be adjusted over time according to the individual need and the professional judgment of the person administering or supervising the administration of the compositions.
[0320] While the attending physician ultimately will decide the appropriate amount and dosage regimen, an effective amount of a compound of the invention may be, for example, a total daily dosage of, e.g., between 0.05 mg and 3000 mg of any of the compounds described herein. Alternatively, the dosage amount can be calculated using the body weight of the patient. Such dose ranges may include, for example, between 10-1000 mg (e.g., 50-800 mg). In some embodiments, 50, 100, 150, 200, 250, 300, 350, 400, 450, 500, 550, 600, 650, 700, 750, 800, 850, 900, 950, or 1000 mg of the compound is administered.
[0321] In the methods of the invention, the time period during which multiple doses of a compound of the invention are administered to a patient can vary. For example, in some embodiments, doses of the compounds of the invention are administered to a patient over a time period that is 1-7 days; 1-12 weeks; or 1-3 months. In some embodiments, the compounds are administered to the patient over a time period that is, for example, 4-11 months or 1-30 years. In some embodiments, the compounds are administered to a patient at the onset of symptoms. In any of these embodiments, the amount of compound that is administered may vary during the time period of administration. When a compound is administered daily, administration may occur, for example, 1 , 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11 , or 12 times per day.
[0322] Formulations
[0323] A compound identified as capable of treating any of the conditions described herein, using any of the methods described herein, may be administered to patients or animals with a pharmaceutically- acceptable diluent, carrier, or excipient, in unit dosage form.

Pharmaceutical formulations of the compounds described herein formulated for treatment of the disorders described herein are also part of the present invention.
[0325] Formulations for Oral Administration
[0326] The pharmaceutical compositions contemplated by the invention include those formulated for oral administration (“oral dosage forms”). Oral dosage forms can be, for example, in the form of tablets, capsules, a liquid solution or suspension, a powder, or liquid or solid crystals, which contain the active ingredient(s) in a mixture with non-toxic pharmaceutically acceptable excipients. These excipients may be, for example, inert diluents or fillers (e.g., sucrose, sorbitol, sugar, mannitol, microcrystalline cellulose, starches including potato starch, calcium carbonate, sodium chloride, lactose, calcium phosphate, calcium sulfate, or sodium phosphate); granulating and disintegrating agents (e.g., cellulose derivatives including microcrystalline cellulose, starches including potato starch, croscarmellose sodium, alginates, or alginic acid); binding agents (e.g., sucrose, glucose, sorbitol, acacia, alginic acid, sodium alginate, gelatin, starch, pregelatinized starch, microcrystalline cellulose, magnesium aluminum silicate, carboxymethylcellulose sodium, methylcellulose, hydroxypropyl methylcellulose, ethylcellulose, polyvinylpyrrolidone, or polyethylene glycol); and lubricating agents, glidants, and antiadhesives (e.g., magnesium stearate, zinc stearate, stearic acid, silicas, hydrogenated vegetable oils, or talc). Other pharmaceutically acceptable excipients can be colorants, flavoring agents, plasticizers, humectants, buffering agents, and the like.
[0327] Formulations for oral administration may also be presented as chewable tablets, as hard gelatin capsules where 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 where the active ingredient is mixed with water or an oil medium, for example, peanut oil, liquid paraffin, or olive oil. Powders, granulates, and pellets may be prepared using the ingredients mentioned above under tablets and capsules in a conventional manner using, e.g., a mixer, a fluid bed apparatus, or a spray drying equipment.
[0328] Controlled release compositions for oral use may be constructed to release the active drug by controlling the dissolution and / or the diffusion of the active drug substance. Any of a number of strategies can be pursued in order to obtain controlled release and the targeted plasma concentration versus time profile. In one example, controlled release is obtained by appropriate selection of various formulation parameters and ingredients, including, e.g., various types of controlled release compositions and coatings. Examples include single or multiple unit tablet or capsule compositions, oil solutions, suspensions, emulsions, microcapsules, microspheres, nanoparticles, patches, and liposomes. In some embodiments, compositions include biodegradable, pH, and / or temperature-sensitive polymer coatings.
[0329] Dissolution or diffusion-controlled release can be achieved by appropriate coating of a tablet, capsule, pellet, or granulate formulation of compounds, or by incorporating the compound into an appropriate matrix. A controlled release coating may include one or more of the coating substances mentioned above and / or, e.g., shellac, beeswax, glycowax, castor wax, carnauba wax, stearyl alcohol, glyceryl monostearate, glyceryl distearate, glycerol palmitostearate, ethylcellulose, acrylic resins, dl- polylactic acid, cellulose acetate butyrate, polyvinyl chloride, polyvinyl acetate, vinyl pyrrolidone, polyethylene, polymethacrylate, methylmethacrylate, 2-hydroxymethacrylate, methacrylate hydrogels, 1 ,3 butylene glycol, ethylene glycol methacrylate, and / or polyethylene glycols. In a controlled release matrix formulation, the matrix material may also include, e.g., hydrated methylcellulose, carnauba wax and stearyl alcohol, carbopol 934, silicone, glyceryl tristearate, methyl acrylate-methyl methacrylate, polyvinyl chloride, polyethylene, and / or halogenated fluorocarbon.
[0330] The liquid forms in which the compounds and compositions of the present invention can be incorporated for administration orally include aqueous solutions, suitably flavored syrups, aqueous or oil suspensions, and flavored emulsions with edible oils, e.g., cottonseed oil, sesame oil, coconut oil, or peanut oil, as well as elixirs and similar pharmaceutical vehicles.
[0331] Formulations for Parenteral Administration
[0332] The compounds described herein for use in the methods of the invention can be administered in a pharmaceutically acceptable parenteral (e.g., intravenous or intramuscular) formulation as described herein. The pharmaceutical formulation may also be administered parenterally (intravenous, intramuscular, subcutaneous or the like) in dosage forms or formulations containing conventional, nontoxic pharmaceutically acceptable carriers and adjuvants. In particular, formulations suitable for parenteral administration include aqueous and non-aqueous sterile injection solutions which may contain antioxidants, buffers, bacteriostats and solutes which render the formulation isotonic with the blood of the intended recipient; and aqueous and non-aqueous sterile suspensions which may include suspending agents and thickening agents. For example, to prepare such a composition, the compounds of the invention may be dissolved or suspended in a parenterally acceptable liquid vehicle. Among acceptable vehicles and solvents that may be employed are water, water adjusted to a suitable pH by addition of an appropriate amount of hydrochloric acid, sodium hydroxide or a suitable buffer, 1 ,3-butanediol, Ringer’s solution and isotonic sodium chloride solution. The aqueous formulation may also contain one or more preservatives, for example, methyl, ethyl, or n-propyl p-hydroxybenzoate. Additional information regarding parenteral formulations can be found, for example, in the United States Pharmacopeia-National Formulary (USP-NF), herein incorporated by reference.
[0333] The parenteral formulation can be any of the five general types of preparations identified by the USP-NF as suitable for parenteral administration:
[0334] (1) Drug Injection: a liquid preparation that is a drug substance (e.g., a compound of the invention), or a solution thereof;
[0335] (2) Drug for Injection: the drug substance (e.g., a compound of the invention) as a dry solid that will be combined with the appropriate sterile vehicle for parenteral administration as a drug injection;
[0336] (3) Drug Injectable Emulsion: a liquid preparation of the drug substance (e.g., a compound of the invention) that is dissolved or dispersed in a suitable emulsion medium;

[0338] (5) Drug for Injectable Suspension: the drug substance (e.g., a compound of the invention) as a dry solid that will be combined with the appropriate sterile vehicle for parenteral administration as a drug injectable suspension.
[0339] Formulations for parenteral administration include solutions of the compound prepared in water suitably mixed with a surfactant, e.g., hydroxypropylcellulose. Dispersions can also be prepared in glycerol, liquid polyethylene glycols, DMSO and mixtures thereof with or without alcohol, and in oils. Under ordinary conditions of storage and use, these preparations may contain a preservative to prevent the growth of microorganisms. Conventional procedures and ingredients for the selection and preparation of suitable formulations are described, for example, in Remington: The Science and Practice of Pharmacy, 21st Ed., Gennaro, Ed., Lippincott Williams & Wilkins (2005) and in The United States Pharmacopeia: The National Formulary (USP 36 NF31), published in 2013. Formulations for parenteral administration may, for example, contain excipients, sterile water, or saline, polyalkylene glycols, e.g., polyethylene glycol, oils of vegetable origin, or hydrogenated napthalenes. Biocompatible, biodegradable lactide polymer, lactide / glycolide copolymer, or polyoxyethylene-polyoxypropylene copolymers may be used to control the release of the compounds. Other potentially useful parenteral delivery systems for compounds include ethylene-vinyl acetate copolymer particles, osmotic pumps, implantable infusion systems, and liposomes. Formulations for inhalation may contain excipients, for example, lactose, or may be aqueous solutions containing, for example, polyoxyethylene-9-lauryl ether, glycocholate and deoxycholate, or may be oily solutions for administration in the form of nasal drops, or as a gel.
[0340] The parenteral formulation can be formulated for prompt release or for sustained / extended release of the compound. Exemplary formulations for parenteral release of the compound include: aqueous solutions, powders for reconstitution, cosolvent solutions, oil / water emulsions, suspensions, oilbased solutions, liposomes, microspheres, and polymeric gels.
[0341] EXAMPLES
[0342] The following examples were meant to illustrate the invention. They were not meant to limit the invention in any way.
[0343] Methods
[0344] KRAS / TP53 double mutant isogenic cell pairs, across relevant tumor origins, were genetically engineered to express a KRAS gain-of-function mutant codon and allele (resulting in amino acid substitutions G12D, G12C, G12V, G12R, G13D and Q61 H). Cell cycle distribution perturbations and replication stress were evaluated. Sensitivity to representative Myt1 inhibitors (e.g., compound 182) alone or in combination with chemotherapeutic or targeted agents was assessed by cell growth assays. In vitro findings were further evaluated in KRAS / TP53 double mutant patient-derived xenografts (PDX). Response to treatment may be measured by, e.g., tumor volume, cell lethality (and its converse, cell viability), confluence of a culture dish, synergistic area score, tumor growth inhibition (TGI; the relative change in tumor volume between a measured population vs a control), or the fold shift in treatment efficacy relative to a wild-type cell.
[0345] Example 1 : Treatment of KRAS-Mutated Cancers with Myt1 inhibitors
[0346] KRAS-mutated cancers are commonly observed to be resistant to chemotherapeutic treatments. However, chemotherapeutic treatment with further drivers of replication stress (e.g., Myt1 inhibitors) may lead to a dose dependent chemotherapeutic response.
[0347] Two strains of isogenic KRAS-mutated lung cells (BRONCH2 TP53AQ61 H B4 and BRONCH2 TP53AG12C E12) were treated with a variable dose of representative Myt1 inhibitor compound 182 (see FIG. 1A and FIG. 1 B, respectively), and compared with treatment the wild type cell. In both experiments, a notable decrease in confluence (i.e., increased lethality) is observed at ~4-12x lower concentration of compound 182 in KRAS-mutated cells as compared to wild type.
[0348] These results were confirmed in several other KRAS mutant cell lines. The results are summarized in Table 4. Table 4. Treatment of KRAS-Mutant Cancer Cells with Myt1 Inhibitor Monotherapy
[0349] This example demonstrates that Myt1 inhibitors are capable of driving cell death in KRAS mutant cancer cells when administered as a monotherapy.
[0350] Example 2: Myt1 Inhibitor Combination Therapies Driving Replication Stress
[0351] Combination therapies including a Myt1 inhibitor and replication-stress inducing therapeutic agents (nucleoside analogs, platinum salts, Topi inhibitors, Atr inhibitors) for treating KRAS mutations were investigated. It is hypothesized that a combination of Myt1 inhibitors with these agents would further exacerbate the replication stress in KRAS- and 7P53-mutated cancer cells and therefore synergize to decrease cell viability and increase treatment lethality.
[0352] Combination therapies to treat various cell lines were therefore investigated. The most synergistic area scores (score >10 indicates synergy) for exemplary combination therapies using Compound 182 and a combination partner are summarized in Table 5. Table 5. Treatment of KRAS-Mutant Cancers in Myt1 Inhibitor Combination Therapies
[0353] These experiments demonstrate the applicability of combination therapies of Myt1 inhibitors with a second therapeutic agents for treating a variety of KRAS mutant cancers. Of note is the combination of compound 182 and camonsertib, which exhibits high synergy across all measurements.
[0354] Example 3: Myt1 Inhibitor / Nucleoside-Analog Combination Therapies Driving Replication Stress
[0355] Combination therapies including a Myt1 inhibitor and a nucleoside-analogs for treating KRAS mutations were investigated. As indicated by the results of Example 2, a combination therapy including a Myt1 inhibitor and a nucleoside analog may be an effective therapy for the treatment of a KRAS mutant cancer.
[0356] Gemcitabine (a representative nucleoside analog) and compound 182 (a representative Myt1 inhibitor) were administered in a combination therapy to determine if such a synergistic effect was noted. 62.5 nM of compound 182 was administered in combination with one of two concentrations of Gemcitabine (either 0.625 nM or 1 .3 nM) to one of three isogenic cell lines expressing wild type KRAS (BRONCH2 TP53 / _WT, FIG. 2A), Q61 H mutated KRAS (BRONCH2 TP53Z- Q61 H, FIG. 2B), or G12C mutated KRAS (BRONCH2 TP53Z- G12C, FIG. 2C). As FIG. 2A shows, the viability of WT Kras cells is minimally impacted by treating with gemcitabine and compound 182, alone or in combination, at both observed concentrations of gemcitabine. As FIG. 2B shows, the viability of Q61 H-mutated Kras cells is modestly reduced when treated with gemcitabine alone (>99% viability at 0.625 nM of gemcitabine and 20% at 1.3 nM of gemcitabine) and compound 182 alone (~90% viability). The viability of Q61 H-mutated Kras cells is greatly reduced when treated with the combination therapy (~26% viability at 0.625 nM of gemcitabine and ~3% at 1.3 nM of gemcitabine). As FIG. 2C shows, the viability of G12C mutated Kras is slightly reduced when treated with gemcitabine alone (>99% viability at 0.625 nM of gemcitabine and ~90% at 1.3 nM of gemcitabine) and compound 182 alone (90% viability). The viability of G12C mutated cancers is greatly reduced when treated with the combination of gemcitabine and compound 182 (~50% viability at 0.625 nM of gemcitabine and ~5% at 1.3 nM of gemcitabine).
[0357] To the synergistic efficacy of combinations of compound 182 with gemcitabine was further confirmed in mouse patient-derived xenograft (PDX) models of pancreatic cancer (FIG. 3A-C). In all three models, the combination of twice-daily (BID) compound 182 dosed at 10 mg / kg with once-weekly 20 mg / kg gemcitabine resulted in significant anti-tumor activity, including durable tumor regressions in 2 / 3 models (FIG. 3A-C). In each case the combination outperformed single-agent efficacy (FIG. 3A-C).
[0358] The above experiments demonstrate the effective combination therapeutic treatment of KRAS- mutated cancers.
[0359] Example 4: Myt1 Inhibitor / Atr Inhibitor Combination Therapies Driving Replication Stress
[0360] Combination therapies including a Myt1 inhibitor and an Atr inhibitor for treating Kras mutations were investigated. Atr kinase is activated in cells under replication stress, reducing the potential lethality to the cell. Therefore, simultaneous administration of a Myt1 inhibitor with an Atr inhibitor to treat a cancer with a replication stress mutation (e.g., a Kras mutation) may synergize to decrease cell viability and increase treatment lethality.
[0361] Combination therapies using representative Myt1 inhibitor compound 182 and representative Atr inhibitor camonsertib were investigated in four colorectal PDX models: CR3262 (G12D Kras mutation; FIG. 4A), CR3150 (G12V Kras mutation; FIG. 4B), CR3099 (G12D Kras mutation; FIG. 4C), and CR3820 (G12D mutation; FIG. 4D). Tumor growth in each PDX model was monitored in the presence of (1) the vehicle alone; (2) a 5 mg / kg dose of compound 182 (twice daily) as a monotherapy; (3) a 10 mg / kg dose of camonsertib (3-days-on-4-days-off dosing schedule) as a monotherapy; and (4) the combination therapy of compound 182 (5 mg / kg; twice daily) and camonsertib (10 mg / kg; 3-days-on-4-days-off dosing schedule). Each therapy was tested on a group of 5 mice. Significant reduction in tumor growth was observed for CR3150 (G12V), CR3099 (G12D), and CR3820 (G12D) (TGI = 88%, 89%, and 97% respectively), with a smaller reduction in tumor growth observed for CR3262 (G12D) (TGI = 40-44%). Further, the combination was well tolerated - with only one mouse in 3 of the four groups requiring a dosing holiday.
[0362] This example demonstrates that a combination therapy including a Myt1 inhibitor and an Atr inhibitor is highly effective at treating KRAS mutated caners. Such a combination therapy exhibited a high response rate and was generally well tolerated. ENUMERATED EMBODIMENTS
