[0002] The present invention relates to formulations and dosages forms of MDM2 degrader (3'R,4'S,5'R)- 6''-chloro-4'-(3-chloro-2-fluorophenyl)-N-((1R,4R)-4-(4-(1-(2,6-dioxopiperidin-3-yl)-3-methyl-2-oxo- 2,3-dihydro-1H-benzo[d]imidazol-5-yl)piperidine-1-carbonyl)cyclohexyl)-2''-oxodispiro[cyclohexane- 1,2'-pyrrolidine-3',3''-indoline]-5'-carboxamide (Compound A), and methods of use thereof. BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
[0003] The murine double minute 2 (MDM2) oncoprotein is a key E3 ubiquitin ligase that degrades the tumor-suppressor p53. Reversible small molecule inhibitors (SMIs) of the MDM2 / p53 interaction have been developed to stabilize p53 and to induce apoptosis in wildtype p53 tumors. However, MDM2 SMIs induce a p53 / MDM2 feedback loop, resulting in upregulation of MDM2 protein levels and p53 pathway inhibition thus drastically limiting their biological activity and clinical application. MDM2 targeted protein degradation suppresses p53-dependent MDM2 protein feedback upregulation and is therefore expected to lead to a superior response compared to MDM2 SMIs.
[0004] A need exists to develop formulations for MDM2 degraders for use in cancer therapy. SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION

[0038] Compound A is a highly potent heterobifunctional small molecule therapeutic agents targeting MDM2 to mediate the selective degradation of MDM2 protein. Compound A displays superior activity compared to SMIs of MDM2 in wildtype p53 cell lines and xenograft models. For instance in acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) cell line RS4;11, Compound A can overcome the p53-dependent upregulation of MDM2 protein levels as seen for reversible SMIs. Short 2 hour exposures of Compound A can more potently stabilize p53 than SMIs. In addition, washout experiments in these cells showed that a pulsed dose of Compound A can lead to apoptosis mediated through p53 target genes. The superior MDM2 / p53 pathway inhibition and induction of apoptosis by Compound A translates into a >200-fold stronger cell growth inhibition, compared to SMIs, across a panel of solid and hematological tumor cell lines.

Treatment may also be continued after symptoms have resolved, for example to prevent or delay their recurrence.
[0060] The phase “woman of childbearing potential” (WOCBP) are considered fertile: 1. Following menarche; 2. From the time of menarche until becoming postmenopausal unless permanently sterile. A 32154354.1Page 8 of 78397731-105WO (213618)postmenopausal state is defined as no menses for 12 months without an alternative medical cause. A high follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) level in the postmenopausal range may be used to confirm a postmenopausal state in women not using hormonal contraception or hormonal replacement therapy (HRT). However, in the absence of 12 months of amenorrhea, confirmation with more than one FSH measurement is required. Females on HRT and whose menopausal status is in doubt will be required to use one of the non-estrogen hormonal highly effective contraception methods if they wish to continue their HRT during the study. Otherwise, they must discontinue HRT to allow confirmation of postmenopausal status before study enrollment. Permanent sterilization methods (for the purpose of this study) include: documented hysterectomy; documented bilateral salpingectomy’ documented bilateral oophorectomy; for individuals with permanent infertility due to an alternate medical cause other than the above, (e.g., Mullerian agenesis, androgen insensitivity, gonadal dysgenesis), Investigator discretion should be applied to determining study entry. 3.

Pharmaceutical Development Drug Substance
[0275] Compound A was manufactured in free base form. Excipients
[0276] Polyethylene glycol 400, polysorbate 80, ethanol and butylated hydroxytoluene were used in the manufacture of the drug product. A liquid mixture of the above excipients was used to dissolve the drug substance. Both polyethylene glycol 400 and ethanol were used as the co-solvents, and polysorbate 80 was used as the surfactant to dissolve Compound A drug substance. Butylated hydroxytoluene was used as antioxidant to prevent polyethylene glycol 400 and polysorbate 80 from oxidation. All excipients met their respective pharmacopeial standards. The excipient selection and levels were based upon manufacturability, driven by solubility enhancement, stability, and functionality. Drug Product Formulation Developement
[0277] Compound A for injection was manufactured as a concentrated frozen solution containing 10 mg / mL of free base intended to be diluted with an intravenous (IV) infusion vehicle (normal saline, 0.9% sodium chloride, injection). Compound A drug substance has poor aqueous solubility of less than 0.01 mg / mL at pH range between 3 to 8. The measured pKa and Log D of Compound A free base were 5.0 and >3.7, respectively. To achieve drug concentration of 10 mg / mL, formulation development focused on identifying acceptable pharmaceutical solvents, surfactants, and pH modifiers to achieve the required solubility of Compound A.
[0278] Initial solubility screening of Compound A focused on using different enabling excipients suitable for IV administration. The screening included surfactants, cosolvents, and pH modifiers (i.e., glacial acetic acid, and hydrochloric acid). The study indicated that the solubility of Compound A was significantly enhanced in formulations containing propylene glycol, polyethylene glycol 400, Solutol HS15 and polysorbate 80 at low pH. As a result, the selected formulation to support the GLP toxicology study was comprised of 30% propylene glycol, 3% Solutol HS15, and 0.01 M in acetate buffer at pH 5±0.2.
[0279] The clinical formulation development was centered on using organic concentrates without water to avoid hydrolysis of Compound A. Additional solubility and stability evaluations of Compound A were conducted with different types of co-solvents and surfactants with and without butylated hydroxytoluene as antioxidant. Thes studies revealed that combination of polyethylene glycol 400, ethanol, polysorbate 80 and butylated hydroxytoluene provide sufficient solubility and stabilility for Compound A at 10 mg / mL. Data from the development batch demonstrated that Compound A drug product remains stable through 1 32154354.1Page 45 of 78397731-105WO (213618)month at the long-term storage condition of -20 °C and the accelerated condition of 5 ± 3 °C with no significant changes in stability-indicating attributes as shown in Table 1 and Table 2. Table 1. Stability of Drug Product at -20 ± 3 °C Time, months Attribute Acceptance Criteria Initial 1 eTime, months Attribute Acceptance Criteria eDescription and Composition
[0280] The drug product, Compound A Injection (Concentrate Solution for Infusion), consists of a clear, colorless to slightly yellow solution of Compound A in clear glass vials with stopper and flip-off seal. The drug product was formulated as 10 mg / mL Compound A drug substance dissolved in an organic mixture containing polyethylene glycol 400, polysorbate 80, ethanol, and butylated hydroxytoluene. 32154354.1Page 46 of 78397731-105WO (213618)
[0281] The label fill volume was 5.0 mL. Each vial contains adequate sterile Compound A solution to deliver nominally 5.0 mL of the solution. The drug product solution is intended to be diluted to the required concentration with normal saline for intravenous infusion. The composition of the drug product is given in Table 3. Table 3. Composition of Compound A for Injection Component Function % w / w Amount per 5.0 mL Compound A drug substance Active ingredient 0.93 0.05 g (active)
[0282] The drug product was manufactured by preparing a solution of polyethylene glycol (PEG) 400, polysorbate 80, ethanol (200 proof), and butyl-hydroxytoluene. Compound A drug substance was dissolved in the organic solution at about 23oC to achieve a concentration of 10 mg / mL.
[0283] The prepared solution was first prefiltered through a 0.45 µm filter. After testing for appearance, pH and bioburden, the prefiltered solution was passed through two sterilizing filters (0.22 µm) in series to obtain a sterile solution. The sterile solution was filled into glass vials, stoppered, and crimped aseptically. Each vial was filled by weight to contain 5.0 mL of the sterile solution. The finished product was 100% visually inspected, and a post-sterile filtration filter integrity test was conducted. The vials were stored at - 20oC. The flow diagram of the manufacturing process is shown in FIG.1.
[0284] Frozen concentrated solutions of formulated Compound A were developed to be diluted in an IV vehicle before dosing intravenously through an administration kit. The compatibility of the formulated Compound A at 10 mg / mL was confirmed with 0.9% sodium chloride (normal saline) based on an assessment of appearance, pH, assay, and impurity profile. The drug product was sterile filtered and filled into a 10 mL, Type 1 clear pre-sterilized borosilicated glass vials fitted with stopper with Flurotec barrier film secured by a flip-off seal. Injection Freeze-Thaw (FT) Study
[0285] To assess the stability of the thawed drug product, laboratory experiments were carried out under conditions representative of clinical dose preparation.
[0286] A freeze-thaw stability study was conducted for the frozen Compound A Injection, 10 mg / mL. Each FT cycle involved freezing the drug product vial at -20oC for 24 hours followed by the complete 32154354.1Page 47 of 78397731-105WO (213618)thawing at room temperature. Three FT cycles were performed, with ten samples taken after each cycle (FT-1x, FT-2x, and FT-3x). All the vials were tested for appearance, assay, and impurities.
[0287] As presented in Table 4, the results show acceptable physicochemical stability at least up to 3 FT cycles. All stability-indicating parameters of FT-1x, FT-2x and FT-3x are comparable to the initial sample (FT-T0) and remained well within the product specifications at each FT cycle. Table 4: Freeze-Thaw Cycle Study Data for Compound A Injection, 10 mg / mL FT-T0 FT-1x FT-2x FT-3x Appearance ofCompound A Injection IV Dosing Solutions
[0288] Studies were conducted to assess the stability and compatibility of Compound A Injection IV dosing solutions with the IV administration supplies (bag, tubing and close system transfer device) that are intended for use in the clinical trials. Laboratory experiments were carried out under conditions representative of the clinical dose preparation. The IV bag, administration sets (tubing), and closed system transfer device (CSTD) that were utilized in this study are provided in Table 5. Table 5: IV Administration Components Used in Stability and Compatibility Studies of Compound A Injection Dosing Solutions IV Administration Minimal Requirements of Example Component Used in 3)32154354.1Page 48 of 78397731-105WO (213618)Add on air elimination No DEHP and not made with B.

Once the drug product solution was added to the IV bag, the resulting diluted IV dosing solution was thoroughly mixed by hand and allowed to remain under ambient laboratory lighting and temperature conditions for the duration of the study. Samples were then pulled at 0, 4, and 24 hours from the IV bag port via syringe. These samples were subsequently tested for stability-indicating parameters, including appearance, pH, assay, and impurities. The in-use stability data showed that the IV dosing solutions at both ends of the concentration range (0.3 mg / mL and 0.03 mg / mL) are compatible with the IV bag and IV tubing and stable up to 24 hours (IV bag) and 8 hours (IV tubing) at ambient laboratory conditions. All stability-indicating parameters remained within the product specifications at each time point and showed no significant change. Conclusions
[0289] The data from these studies indicates that Compound A Injection solution, 10 mg / mL, shows acceptable physicochemical stability after 3 cycles of freezing and thawing. The drug product also shows acceptable stability under ambient storage conditions in the IV bag and IV infusion tubing for 24 hours and 8 hours, respectively. Moreover, the results from these studies suggest acceptable compatibility of Compound A injection with the intended diluent (0.9% sodium chloride) and containment / administration system (IV bag / tubing) to be used in the clinical setting. Example 2. A Phase 1, Multicenter, Open-Label, Dose-Escalation Study to Evaluate the Safety, Tolerability, Pharmacokinetics, Pharmacodynamics, and Clinical Activity of Intravenously Administered Compound A in Adult Patients With High Grade Myeloid Malignancies and Acute Lymphocytic Leukemia, Myelofibrosis, Lymphoma and Advanced Solid Tumors
[0290] Study Rationale: Targeted protein degraders represent a new therapeutic class of compounds that utilize the ubiquitin proteasome system to target the specific degradation of proteins. Compound A is a is a potent and selective, heterobifunctional small molecule therapeutic mediating the degradation of mouse double minute 2 (MDM2), an E3 ubiquitin ligase and critical negative regulator of the tumor suppressor p53. Given MDM2 overexpression and amplification is implicated in a variety of hematological and solid tumors, Compound A represents a rationale therapeutic opportunity for the treatment of acute myeloid 32154354.1Page 49 of 78397731-105WO (213618)leukemia (AML), lymphomas, myelofibrosis, and solid tumors that express functional wild-type p53 (p53WT).

[0293] This first-in-human (FIH) study of Compound A is an open-label, Phase 1a / b study in adult patients with advanced high grade myeloid malignancies, ALL, lymphomas, and solid tumors. The objective of Phase 1a is to identify the MTD or maximum administered dose (MAD, if MTD is not reached) of Compound A. Once the MTD / MAD is identified for each arm independently, expansion cohorts may be enrolled as follows: ^ A Phase 1a exploratory expansion cohort in patients with p53WT solid tumors may be enrolled with the objective to evaluate the safety and clinical activity of Compound A in a homogenous population of patients with a solid tumor to help better identify potentially sensitive solid tumor types for further clinical development of Compound A. 32154354.1Page 53 of 78397731-105WO (213618)^ Up to two Phase 1b expansion cohorts (Cohorts 1 and 2) in patients with AML may be enrolled with the objective to confirm the safety, PK, PD and clinical activity of Compound A.
[0294] Patients who provide informed consent and meet all eligibility criteria for the study will be enrolled and will be treated with Compound A on Day 1 of continuous 21-day cycles until disease progression, unacceptable toxicity, withdrawal of consent, any study-specific discontinuation criteria are met, or if the Investigator determines that it is in the best interest of the patient to discontinue study treatment.
[0295] For patients with AML who achieve CR (or CRh), continued treatment will be based on Investigator judgement. Patients who discontinue from Compound A will undergo an end of treatment (EOT) visit within 7 days of the decision to discontinue treatment and prior to initiation of a new anticancer therapy, whichever occurs first. A safety follow-up (FU) visit will also be scheduled within 30 days from the last dose of Compound A, or prior to initiation of a new anticancer therapy, whichever occurs first.
[0296] The study schema is provided in FIG.2 and FIG.23.
[0297] The Phase 1a part of the study will be initiated in patients with lymphomas, MF, and solid tumors (Arm A), and then subsequently in patients with advanced high grade myeloid malignancies and ALL (Arm B). The dose escalation portion of the study will characterize the safety and tolerability of ascending doses of Compound A in each arm separately. The primary objective is to define the MTD or MAD (if MTD is not reached) for each arm. Up to 100 evaluable patients will be enrolled and will depend on the number of dose levels explored. Prospective documentation of the tumor p53 status (mutant or wild type) will not be required for study entry and will be assessed retrospectively. ^ Arm A (n=approximately 50): Patients with lymphomas, MF, and advanced solid tumors ^ Arm B (n=approximately 50): Patients with high grade myeloid malignancies and ALL
[0298] Dosing will start first in Arm A in adult patients with lymphomas and advanced solid tumors. Once a potential pharmacologically active dose (PAD) has been identified in Arm A, it will be used to determine the starting dose in patients with high grade myeloid malignancies and ALL who will be enrolled in Arm B. This approach will avoid exposing patients with rapidly progressing acute leukemias in Arm B to potentially subtherapeutic doses where assessment of toxicity may be confounded by adverse events (AEs) due to the underlying leukemia. Specific to Compound A, preclinical toxicology findings suggest myelosuppression to be a potential expected on-target toxicity, and observation of moderate grade myelosuppression in patients in Arm A may be used as a surrogate marker of pharmacological activity to guide initiation of dose escalation in Arm B. In addition, PK / PD data from Arm A may be used to guide the selection of the starting dose in Arm B.
[0299] The starting dose level in Arm B and initiation of dose-escalation will be determined by the Safety Review Committee (SRC) following review of the safety and available PK and PD data and the starting dose will not exceed the highest dose evaluated in Arm A. 32154354.1Page 54 of 78397731-105WO (213618)
[0300] Arms A and B will continue dose-escalation separately based on the Bayesian Optimal Interval (BOIN) Design until the MTD is determined in each arm. Planned dose levels include 0.05 mg / kg, 0.1 mg / kg, 0.17 mg / kg, 0.25 mg / kg, 0.33 mg / kg, 0.42 mg / kg, 0.53 mg / kg, 0.66 mg / kg, 0.82 mg / kg, and 1.00 mg / kg. Sponsor may determine to evaluate additional interim dose levels based on emerging safety and PK data from the preceding cohorts in each study arm. Escalation to the MTD may not be necessary if a minimum safe and biologically effective dose is identified based on observed safety, PK, PD, and efficacy. In this scenario, the highest administered dose will be the MAD.

[0317] FIG.21 shows the Table 9 data graphically. Concentration-Time profiles starting from the end of infusion at 1 hour are presented. Pharmacodynamics
[0318] FIG. 22 shows upregulation of PD biomarkers by MDM2 degradation-mediated p53 pathway activation in blood. Biomarkers of p53 activation expected to increase with MDM2 degradation showed peak upregulation at 24 hr post start of treatment, with levels recovering towards baseline by D8. Conclusions
[0319] Initial clinical proof of concept in tumor types shown to be sensitive to Compound A in preclinical models was demonstrated, including responses in one of two evaluable patients with MCC (PR) and two of two patients with Post-MPN AML (CR and PR). Compound A treatment resulted in upregulation of p53 pathway activation biomarkers even at the lowest dose levels in solid tumor and AML patients, providing proof of mechanism for MDM2 target engagement. Compound A was well tolerated with no significant myelosuppression or thrombocytopenia typical of MDM2 small molecule inhibitors observed to date. Phase 1a dose escalation is ongoing in patients with solid tumor / lymphoma / MF (Arm A) and high-grade myeloid malignancies and ALL (Arm B). Example 4. Additional in vitro and in vivo Experiments In vitro Assays
[0320] All cell lines were cultured according to recommended procedures unless otherwise noted. For growth inhibition assays, cells were treated with compounds for indicated time points. Viability was assessed using Promega® CellTiter-Glo® assay, and apoptosis was assessed using Promega® Caspase- Glo® 3 / 7 assay. Cell cycle arrest and / or apoptosis in response to single agent or combination treatment was assessed using flow cytometry analysis on cells treated for 24h. In vivo Experiments
[0321] AML patient cells from leukapheresis were intravenously (IV) injected and established in immunocompromised host strain mice. Surrogate animals were used to determine the level of engraftment targeting a threshold of ~20% huCD45+ cells in BM. Mice were randomized on study and treatment was initiated. Vehicle and Compound A, 1 mg / kg were administered IV, every three weeks for six weeks (total 32154354.1Page 67 of 78397731-105WO (213618)of two doses of Compound A). At study end, whole blood, bone marrow and spleen were assessed by flow cytometry.
[0322] RS4;11 and MV4;11 tumors were established subcutaneously in the hind flank of NOD / SCID mice. Mice were randomized and treated with Compound A as either a single pulse dose or weekly for 3 weeks at doses matched for total AUC. MDM2 SMI DS-3032 (Milademetan) was dosed at its clinically equivalent dose and regimen of 3 days on / 11 days off. Pharmacodynamic effects were assessed at mRNA level by RT-qPCR and protein level by quantitative targeted mass spectrometry and immunohistochemistry.
[0323] FIG. 3A and 3B shows that Compound A (1 mg / kg, Q3W) achieves tumor regression in a CTG- 2227 AML patient-derived xenograft (PDX) model and partial responses in CTG-2240 and CTG-2700 AML PDX models. Compound A significantly reduces hCD45+ cells in bone marrow and AML blasts.
[0324] FIG.4A and 4B shows the combinatorial benefit of Compound A with venetoclax and midostaurin in MOLM-13 cell line. The data shows that Compound A combination with venetoclax and midostaurin enhances induction of apoptosis and cell killing in MOLM-12 AML cell line.
[0325] FIG.5 shows the significant combinatorial benefit of Compound A with standard of care in AML in vivo model. Single dose of Compound A in combination with daily dosing of venetoclax achieves sustained tumor regression in MOLM-13 xenograft model whereas cytarabine or combination of cytarabine and venetoclax demonstrates no significant anti-tumor activity.
[0326] FIG. 6 shows that Compound A is active across multiple heme indications in vitro with AML, T cell lymphomas, mantle cell lymphoma, and DLBCL being the most sensitive.
[0327] FIG. 7 shows that Compound A is highly active in p53WTABC-subtype DLBCL. Compound A was highly active in OCI-LY10 p53WTABC-subtype DLBCL xenograft model (A) but not TMD8 p53MUT
[0328] ABC-subtype DLBCL xenograft model (B).
[0329] In summary of FIGs 3-7, Compound A dosed intermittently is highly active resulting in responses and complete regression in AML PDX xenograft models. Compound A shows combinatorial benefit with SoC agents in AML in-vitro and in-vivo model, suggesting that Compound A combination can be used for larger patient population. Preclinical data suggest potential for Compound A to be active in additional hematological malignancies, such as DLBCL.
[0330] In the RS4;11 ALL model of FIG. 8, the median survival after a single dose of Compound A at 3 mg / kg was 50 dyas vs. 12 days for the clinically equivalent dosing regimen of DS-3032. In the MV4;11 AML model of FIG.8, a single dose of Compound A at 3 mg / kg led to complete responses in 5 of 6 animals, and 4 of 6 remain tumor-free on study 80 days post dosing. No complete responses were observed following treatment with DS-3032. n=6 animals / group.
[0331] FIG.9 shows that targeted proteomic analysis of RS4;11 tumors demonstrates robust degradation of MDM2 one hour post dosing. This is associated with activation of the p53 pathway as evidenced by a 32154354.1Page 68 of 78397731-105WO (213618)corresponding upregulation of proteomics biomarkers p53, p21 (cell cycle arrest marker) and PHLDA3 (apoptotic marker).
[0332] FIG.10 shows that IHC analysis of RS4;11 tumors demonstrates more robust activation of the p53 pathway and induction of cleaved caspase-3 (CC-3) following a single dose of Compound A than following exposure-matched weekly dosing. Induction of CC-3 was not observed following treatment with the SMI DS-3032 (n=3 / group).
[0333] FIG. 11 shows that IHC analysis of MV4;11 tumors demonstrates robust activation of the p53 pathway and induction of cleaved caspase-3 (CC-3) following a single dose of Compound A but not following exposure-matched weekly dosing. Induction of CC-3 following treatment with the DS-3032 was modest and similar to the lower weekly dosing regimen of Compound A (n=3 / group).
[0334] FIG.12 shows that qPCR analysis of RS4;11 tumors demonstrates robust induction of the apoptotic gene BBC3 following single doses of Compound A that lead to tumor regression (n=3 / group). In contrast, exposure-matched weekly dosing of Compound A results in only a moderate increase in apoptotic markers and correlates with tumor stasis (n=3 / group). Similar results were observed with the apoptotic genes FAS and DR5 (data not shown). 12 to 22 hours of Compound A plasma concentrations above 0.01 uM are required for tumor regression. Plasma Compound A concentrations above 0.02 uM are required for induction of the apoptotic gene, BBC3.
[0335] In summary of FIGs 8-12, a single high dose of Compound A leads to robust activation of the p53 pathway, apoptosis, and sustained tumor regression, while exposure-matched weekly dosing leads to cell cycle arrest and tumor stasis, as observed with MDM2 small molecule inhibitors. In the MV4;11 AML model, a single dose of Compound A at 3 mg / kg led to complete responses in 5 of 6 animals, and 4 of 6 remain tumor-free on study 80 days post dosing. The pulse dosing regimen of Compound A has the potential to result in improved efficacy and safety profiles compared to the more frequent dosing of MDM2 / p53 small molecule inhibitors in the clinic.
[0336] FIG. 15 shows that an 8-hour treatment with Compound A showed potent induction of p53 transcriptional gene targets including MDM2, GDF15, CDKN1A, GADD44A, TNFRSF10B, FAS, and BBC3. All these targets showed an approximate 4-fold or higher increase in relative mRNA levels at Compound A concentrations as low as 10 nM. This trend continued in a concentration dependent manner reaching an 8-fold or greater increase in relative mRNA levels for all targets at the highest Compound A treatment concentration evaluated (1 mM). A modest 2-fold induction of p53 downstream targets was observed upon treatment with DS-3032 only at the highest concentration of 1 mM. Furthermore, treatment with Compound A led to potent induction of apoptosis in a panel of AML, ALL, B-cell, and diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) cell lines. Significant growth inhibition (99% or 98% max inhibition) was observed in all but two of the cell lines tested (92% and 86% max inhibition), with HNT-34 and RS4;11 32154354.1Page 69 of 78397731-105WO (213618)cells lines both showing the highest maximal inhibition (99%) and the lowest IC50values of < 0.1 nM (FIG. 16).
[0337] To investigate how Compound A treatment affects cell cycle progression, cell cycle distribution and viability in RS4;11 and MV4;11 cell lines treated with Compound A or DS-3032 was quantified (FIG. 17). In both cell lines, treatment with 1000 nM Compound A resulted in a significantly lower percentage of cells in S phase (0.97% and 0.45% in RS4;11 and MV4;11, respectively) than with 1000 nM DS-3032 treatment (30.6% and 12.0% in RS4;11 and MV4;11, respectively). Additionally, significantly more cells were in late apoptotic stage following treatment with 1000 nM Compound A (75.8% in RS4;11 cells and 62.1% MV4;11 cells) than with 1000 nM DS-3032 treatment (6.9% in RS4;11 cells and 9.3% MV4;11 cells). Viability data also confirms the significantly higher percentage of live 1000 nM DS-3032 treated cells (90.4% in RS4;11 cells and 87.4% MV4;11 cells), compared to 1000 nM Compound A treated cells (17.1% in RS4;11 cells and 23.8% MV4;11 cells) (FIG.17).
[0338] FIG. 18 shows that when a single dose of Compound A was combined with venetoclax, durable complete responses were achieved. Although the clinical dosing regimen for venetoclax is continued daily administration, as little as 1 week of venetoclax administration in combination with a single dose of Compound A, was sufficient to induce complete responses in 6 of 6 animals. Remarkably, administration of venetoclax for just 3 days also induced complete responses in 6 of 6 animals when combined with Compound A, but these responses were less durable (median survival of 68 days vs > 150 days for 1 week of venetoclax). In addition, half the clinically equivalent dose of venetoclax (50 mg / kg) administered daily for 3 weeks in combination with a single dose of Compound A was sufficient to induce durable complete responses in all animals. In addition to the combination benefit, Compound A treatment also showed strong single agent activity in a primary systemic model of AML that was resistant to venetoclax treatment (FIG. 19). Example 5. Additional in vitro and in vivo Experiments Methods
[0339] Activity of Compound A in vitro was explored in a panel of 350 p53 wild-type cell lines spanning 48 indications. The combination of both cell growth inhibition and apoptosis was evaluated using CTG (Promega) and Caspase-Glo 3 / 7 assays in 187 lines. Twenty-four pediatric patient-derived xenograft (PDX) models representing 6 tumor types (Ewing sarcoma, rhabdomyosarcoma, rhabdoid tumor, Wilms tumor, hepatoblastoma, and neuroblastoma) and 101 adult PDX models representing 5 solid tumor types (breast, lung, colorectal, gastric, melanoma) were evaluated using a single mouse trial design. Baseline expression profiles of the adult PDX models were used in a machine learning framework to build a predictive signature of response to Compound A. The signature was validated in 19 prospectively selected PDX models. 32154354.1Page 70 of 78397731-105WO (213618)Results
[0340] In vitro screening indicates a wide range of heme (FIG.6) and solid tumor (FIG.24) cell lines show sub-nanomolar growth inhibition (CTG assay, 96 h) and induction of apoptosis (caspase 3 / 7 activity, 48 h) in response to Compound A. AML, ALL and solid tumor indications that include small round blue cell tumor (SRBCT) types were among the most sensitive. These data demonstrate the potential for Compound A development across a wide variety of heme and solid tumor indications.
[0341] FIG. 25 shows that 38% of pediatric solid tumors show complete and durable responses to Compound A. Waterfall plots show best average response to Compound A relative to baseline tumor volume at start of treatment in a single mouse trial of 24 pediatric PDX models representing 6 tumor types. Tumors were established subcutaneously in the hind flank of SCID mice. Complete responses were achieved in 9 of 24 models. Best average response is defined as the average of the best percent change in tumor volume over the course of 5 weeks. Tumor growth curves are provided for 9 models that showed complete response to Compound A (n=1 / group). Mice were dosed intravenously on day 0, 21, and 42.
[0342] FIG. 26 shows that Compound A is active in multiple adult solid tumor types including tumors that are insensitive to an MDM2 small molecule inhibitor. Waterfall plots show best average response to Compound A relative to baseline tumor volume at start of treatment in a single mouse trial of 101 adult PDX models representing 5 different tumor types. Best average response is defined as the average of the best percent change in tumor volume over the course of 5 timepoints. Tumor growth curves comparing the activity of Compound A to the MDM2 SMI, BI907828, which was administered at the clinically relevant dose (n=3 / group).
[0343] FIG.27 shows a method of finding a gene expression signature that predicts response to Compound A. (A) To identify a broader pan-cancer responder signature, baseline expression profiles of the adult PDX models were used in a machine learning framework to build a predictive signature. (B) The signature was applied to The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) pan-cancer dataset and identified AML and a subset of solid tumors as sensitive, consistent with our preclinical and early clinical findings. (C) Plot of a neuroendocrine (NE) signature (PMID: 29535911) vs. Compound A predictive signature highlighting that the predictive signature identifies both neuroendocrine and non-endocrine tumors that respond to Compound A.
[0344] FIG. 28 shows that disseminated AML PDX models show complete responses to Compound A. Bar graphs of the percent human CD45+ cells in whole blood (WB) and bone marrow (BM) after treatment with Compound A. Sub-lethally irradiated NOG-EXL mice were inoculated with 2x108primary AML cells. Treatment was initiated when tumor engraftment levels in the bone marrow of surrogate animals were 68% (CTG-2233), 39% (CTG-2239), 21% (CTG-2240), 50% (CTG-2702). Mice were dosed on day 0, 21 and 42 and tumor burden was quantified by flow cytometry 24 h after the last dose. Statistical analysis was conducted using a Student’s t-test. Complete responses were achieved in 3 of the 4 models evaluated. 32154354.1Page 71 of 78397731-105WO (213618)
[0345] FIG. 29 shows that prospectively selected PDX models demonstrate improved response rates and survival. (A) Waterfall plot of best average response to Compound A relative to baseline tumor volume at start of treatment in 19 adult PDX models selected using a predictive gene signature.37% of prospectively selected models responded to Compound A vs.11% of unselected models. (B) Bar graph of response calls. Response is defined as the combination of 1) Best response after 14 days of SD or better, 2) Best average response over the course of 5 timepoints of SD or better, and 3) Less than -0.45 change in AUC relative to control. In unselected cohort, 4 PR and 7 SD (11 of 101) were observed. In prospectively selected cohort, 1 CR, 2 PR, 4 SD (7 of 19) were observed. CR: complete response, PR: partial response, SD: stable disease. (C) Kaplan-Meier curves comparing time to endpoint (tumor volume = 1500 mm3) in control vs. Compound A treated animals. Median survival was longer in the prospective models than in the original cohort (48d vs 38d). Odds ratio is 4.7 with 95% CI (1.29, 16.6). p-value= 0.0089. Conclusions
[0346] Single mouse trials show that Compound A has the potential to induce durable complete responses in both pediatric and adult solid tumor types. A machine learning framework was used to build a predictive signature of response to Compound A that is distinct from published signatures. The resulting signature identified AML and solid tumors with neuroendocrine characteristics as sensitive, consistent with preclinical and early clinical findings. Non-neuroendocrine tumors were also identified that respond to Compound A. Application of the responder signature for tumor model selection increased the Compound A response rate in adult solid tumors from ~10 to 37% and prospectively selected models demonstrated prolonged median survival. The signature can be further refined using emerging clinical data to enrich for patients in future trials. * * * * *
