Abstract
Description
COMBINATION THERAPIES COMPRISING A CDK2 DEGRADER AND A CDK4 / 6 INHIBITORTECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] Described herein are combination therapies comprising a compound that mediates the degradation of the enzyme cyclin-dependent kinase 2 (CDK2) in combination with an inhibitor of the enzymes cyclin-dependent kinase 4 (CDK4) and cyclin-dependent kinase 6 (CDK6). The combination therapies are for use in the treatment of disorders such as cancer.BACKGROUND
[0002] Cyclin dependent kinases (CDKs) are a family of closely related kinases that regulate progression through the cell cycle. Deregulation of the activity of CDKs is associated with tumor growth in multiple cancer types. Inhibition of CDKs can therefore inhibit cancer cell growth.
[0003] Inhibitors of CDK4 and CDK6 (CDK4 / 6 inhibitors) are known cancer treatments and are considered the standard of care treatment for breast cancer. For example, the CDK4 / 6 inhibitors ribociclib, palbociclib, and abemaciclib have been approved by the FDA and the EMA for the treatment of breast cancer.
[0004] One limitation of using CDK4 / 6 inhibitors to treat cancer is that resistance to the drugs can arise.
[0005] There exists a need for further cancer treatments. There also exists a need for cancer treatments that are effective for a prolonged period of time before the onset of resistance to the treatment or that eradicate the cancer completely.SUMMARY
[0006] CDK2 is another potential target of cancer therapies. Mechanisms that activate CDK2 in tumors are (i) amplification of cyclin El or cyclin E2, and (ii) loss of the AMBRA1 gene. Elimination of CDK2 has the potential to counteract the effects of these anomalies.
[0007] One way to reduce or eliminate CDK2 is to utilise a molecular glue degrader targetingCDK2. Molecular glue degraders are small molecule (low molecular weight) compounds that can be used to manipulate the ubiquitin proteasome system to trigger targeted degradation of specific proteins of interest. In essence, molecular glue degraders redirect the activity of E3 ligases such as cereblon (a phenomenon known as E3 reprogramming) to promote the poly-ubiquitination and ultimately proteasomal degradation of proteinsubstrates involved in the development of diseases. The molecular glues bind to both the E3 ligase and the target protein, thereby mediating an alteration of the ligase surface and enabling the ligase to interact with the target protein. PCT / US2023 / 077781 discloses molecular glue degraders of CDK2 and is hereby incorporated by reference in its entirety.
[0008] The inventors recognised that the compounds disclosed in PCT / US2023 / 077781 could be used to mediate the degradation of CDK2 in combination with a CDK4 / 6 inhibitor. Targeting CDK2 together with CDK4 / 6 has the potential to provide a more durable response in patients (i.e. the onset of resistance may be delayed or the antitumor effect may be greater), because the cancer cells cannot compensate for the loss of activity of CDK4 / 6 by upregulating the activity of CDK2, and vice versa. In addition, the combination therapy may be effective to treat cancers that have previously been treated with a CDK4 / 6 inhibitor and that have developed resistance.

[0117] A “subject” to which administration is contemplated may be a human (z.e., a male or female of any age group, e.g., a pediatric subject (e.g, an infant, child, or adolescent) or adult subject (e.g., a young adult, middle-aged adult or senior adult)) or a non-human animal, e.g., a mammal such as a primate (e.g., a cynomolgus monkey or rhesus monkey). In some embodiments, the subject is a human. The terms “human,” “patient,” and “subject” are used interchangeably herein.
[0118] The terms “disease,” “disorder,” and “condition” are used interchangeably herein.
[0119] As used herein, and unless otherwise specified, the terms “treat,” “treating” and “treatment” refer to an action that occurs while a subject is suffering from the specified disease, disorder or condition, which reduces the severity of the disease, disorder or condition, or retards or slows the progression of the disease, disorder or condition.
[0120] As used herein, and unless otherwise specified, a “therapeutically effective amount” of a active agent is an amount sufficient to provide a therapeutic benefit in the treatment of a disease, disorder, or condition, or to delay or minimize one or more symptoms associated with the disease, disorder or condition. The term “therapeutically effective amount” can encompass an amount that improves overall therapy, reduces or avoids symptoms or causes of a disease, disorder, or condition, or enhances the therapeutic efficacy of another therapeutic agent.
[0121] It is to be understood that compounds that have the same molecular formula but differ in the nature or sequence of bonding of their atoms or the arrangement of their atoms in space are termed “isomers.” Isomers that differ in the arrangement of their atoms in space are termed “stereoisomers.” Stereoisomers that are not mirror images of one another are termed “diastereomers” and those that are non-superimposable mirror images of each other are termed “enantiomers.” When a compound has an asymmetric center (for example, because one of its atoms is bonded to four different groups), a pair of enantiomers is possible. An enantiomer can be characterized by the absolute configuration of its asymmetric center and is described by the R- and S-sequencing rules of Cahn and Prelog, or by the manner in which the molecule rotates the plane of polarized light and designated as dextrorotatory or levorotatory (z.e., as (+) or (-)-isomers respectively). A chiral compound can exist as either individual enantiomer or as a mixture of enantiomers. A mixture containing equal proportions of the enantiomers is called a “racemic mixture”.
[0122] Isomers, e.g, stereoisomers, can be isolated from mixtures by methods known to those skilled in the art, including chiral high pressure liquid chromatography (HPLC) and the formation of chiral salts; or preferred isomers can be prepared by asymmetric syntheses. See, for example, Jacques et al. , Enantiomers, Racemates and Resolutions (Wiley Interscience, New York, 1981); Wilen et al., Tetrahedron 33'2125 (1977); Eliel, Stereochemistry of Carbon Compounds (McGraw-Hill, NY, 1962); and Wilen, Tables of Resolving Agents and Optical Resolutions p. 268 (E.L. Eliel, Ed., Univ, of Notre Dame Press, Notre Dame, IN 1972). The compounds of Formula (I), pharmaceutically acceptable salts thereof, and CDK4 / 6 inhibitors described herein may be present in the combination therapies of the present disclosure as individual stereoisomers (e.g., as individual enantiomers) substantially free of other stereoisomers (or enantiomers), or alternatively, as mixtures of stereoisomers (or enantiomers).
