In addition, unless defined otherwise, all technical and scientific terms used herein are to be understood in accordance with their generally accepted meanings as would be appreciated by one of ordinary skill in the relevant art. As used herein, the term “pharmaceutically acceptable salts” refers to salts that retain the biological effectiveness and properties of the compounds of this invention and, which are not biologically or otherwise undesirable. Pharmaceutically acceptable salts include both acidAttorney Ref: 092295.0162 EIK-1019-WO and base addition salts. For example, but not by way of limitation, EIK1001 can be prepared as a sulfate salt, e.g., as 1-(4-amino-2-(ethoxymethyl)-1H-imidazo[4,5-c]quinoline-1-yl)-2- methylpropan-2-ol sulfate (CAS Registry No.2762439-40-5). A “pharmaceutically acceptable carrier” is an ingredient in a pharmaceutical formulation, other than an active ingredient, which is nontoxic to a subject. A pharmaceutically acceptable carrier includes, for example, an excipient, a buffer, a stabilizer, or a preservative. As used herein, the term “subject” is a mammal including, but not limited to, primates (e.g., humans and non-human primates such as monkeys), rodents (e.g., mice and rat), rabbits, cows, sheep, cats, dogs and horses. In certain embodiments, the subject is a human. As used herein, the term “combination therapy” refers to a combination of two or more active therapeutics. In certain embodiments, the combination therapies provided here include combined administration (where two or more therapeutic agents are included in the same or separate formulations), and separate administration, in which case, administration of the composition of the invention can occur prior to, simultaneously, and / or following, administration of the additional therapeutic agent or agents. “Dose”, “Dosing”, and grammatical equivalents thereof as used herein refers to the administration of an amount of one or more therapeutic and can be by any suitable route, for example, by injections, such as intravenous or subcutaneous injections. Various dosing schedules including but not limited to single or multiple administrations over various time- points, bolus administration, and pulse infusion are contemplated herein. As used herein, “treating” or “treatment” refers to a reduction in one or more symptom associated with the condition to be treated. By way of example, but not limitation, following administering of a composition of the present disclosure, a subject with a solid tumor can experience a reduction in tumor size. For example, but without any limitation, such reduction in tumor size can be complete resolution of non-nodal lesions and < 10 mm short- axis for lymph nodes, as well as no new lesions (i.e., a complete response as defined below). Additionally, for example and without limitation, following administering of a composition of the present disclosure, a subject with a solid tumor can experience a ≥30% decrease in tumor burden (i.e., a partial response as defined below). In a further non-limiting example, following administering of a composition of the present disclosure, a subject with a solid tumor can experience neither sufficient shrinkage (compared to baseline) to qualify for PR nor sufficient increase to qualify for Progressive Disease (PD). In certain embodiments, “treating” or “treatment” refers to a response determined using immune-related Response EvaluationAttorney Ref: 092295.0162 EIK-1019-WO Criteria in Solid Tumors (irRECIST) 1.1 criteria or Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (RECIST) 1.1 criteria. These criteria include, among other criteria : Complete Response (CR): defined as a complete resolution of non-nodal lesions and < 10 mm short-axis for lymph nodes, as well as no new lesions. Partial Response (PR): defined as a ≥30% decrease in tumor burden. Stable Disease (SD): Neither sufficient shrinkage (compared to baseline) to qualify for PR nor sufficient increase (taking as reference the smallest sum diameters while on study) to qualify for Progressive Disease (PD). Progressive Disease (PD): defined as at least a 20% increase in the sum of diameters of target lesions, taking as reference the smallest sum on study (this includes the baseline sum if that is the smallest on study). In addition to the relative increase of 20%, the sum must also demonstrate an absolute increase of at least 5 mm. Objective Response (OR): defined as a confirmed complete response (CR) or partial response (PR). Objective Response Rate (ORR): defined as participants who have a confirmed CR or PR. In certain embodiments, “treating” or “treatment” refers to a response determined by using the following criteria: Overall Survival (OS): defined as the time from subject randomization to the time of death from any cause. Duration of Response (DOR): defined as the time from randomization to disease progression or death for patients who achieve complete or partial response. Progression-Free Survival (PFS): defined as the time from randomization until objective tumor progression or death. As used herein, Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (RECIST) 1.1 are standardized guidelines used to measure the response of solid tumors to treatment. These criteria help in assessing whether tumors are shrinking, staying the same, or growing. Additional information on RECIST can be found in Eisenhauer et al., European journal of cancer 45.2 (2009): 228-247, which is incorporated by reference in its entirety. As used herein, the phrase “advantageous safety profile” refers to safety profiles indicating the probability that a patient will experience a drug-related adverse event, e.g., a Grade 3 adverse event, is of a magnitude that is nevertheless justified in view of the efficacyAttorney Ref: 092295.0162 EIK-1019-WO associated with the underlying treatment. In certain embodiments, the magnitude of the probability that a patient will experience a drug-related adverse event is presented as a specific value, e.g., an average or median of probabilities. In certain embodiments, the magnitude of the probability that a patient will experience a drug-related adverse event is presented as a range, e.g., a range representing a 95% confidence interval associated with a number of probabilities. Similarly, the efficacy of the underlying treatment can also be presented as a specific value, e.g., an average or median of probabilities of achieving an outcome or as a range, e.g., a range representing a 95% confidence interval associated with a number of probabilities of achieving an outcome, e.g., the outcome can be defined by ORR, OS, or by any other efficacy measure such as, but not limited to, the maximal change from baseline for a target lesion being ≤ 10%. For example, but not by way of limitation, the data provided in Figures 7-9 of the instant application indicate that certain EIK1001 dosages described herein are associated with both efficacious treatment and advantageous safety profiles. In certain embodiments, an advantageous safety profile is associated with the probability of a patient experiencing a drug related adverse event of > Grade 3, as defined herein, of 49.6% (with a 95% CI level within the range of 38.6% – 60.6%) or less, or a probability of a patient experiencing a composite adverse event, as that term is used in Examples 6 and 7, below, of 54.4% (with a 95% CI level within the range of 42.2% - 65.5%) or less. In certain embodiments, an advantageous safety profile refers to a probability of a patient experiencing a drug-related adverse event of > Grade 3 of 45.4% (with a 95% CI level within the range of 35.2% – 56.0%) or less, or a probability of a patient experiencing a composite adverse event, as that term is used in Examples 6 and 7, below, of 46.2% (with a 95% CI level within the range of 36.0%-56.7%) or less. In certain embodiments, efficacious treatment is associated with a probability of a patient experiencing maximal change from baseline for a target lesion being ≤ 10% of 19.6% (with a 95% CI level within the range of 12.0% – 30.4%). In certain embodiments, efficacious treatment is associated with a probability of a patient experiencing maximal change from baseline for a target lesion being ≤ 10% of 17.6% (with a 95% CI level within the range of 10.5% – 27.9%). As used herein, the term “adverse event” refers to an abnormal clinical finding temporally associated with the use of a therapy (e.g., a cancer therapy). Non-limiting examples of adverse events include hematologic toxicity, non-hematologic toxicity, infusion reaction, cytokine release syndrome, immune-related adverse reactions, and the like.

As used herein, “Grade 2 adverse event” is one that is moderate for which a minimal, local, or noninvasive intervention is indicated. As used herein, “Grade 3 adverse event” is one that is severe but not immediately life-threatening. As used herein, “Grade 4 adverse event” is one that is severe and can have life- threatening consequences. For Grade 4 adverse events, urgent intervention is indicated. As used herein, “composite adverse event” refers, in certain embodiments, to a group of pooled adverse events (including, e.g., CRS, chills, pyrexia and infusion-related reactions) for all adverse event Grades. As used herein, the term “hematologic toxicity” refers to the adverse effects on the blood-forming tissues, which can be caused by various factors such as chemotherapy, radiation therapy, certain medications, environmental toxins, and underlying medical conditions. For example, but without limitation, hematologic toxicity includes neutropenia and thrombocytopenia (low platelet count). In certain embodiments, hematologic toxicity excludes anemia and lymphopenia. As used herein, the term “non-hematologic toxicity” refers to adverse effects on organs and tissues outside of the blood-forming system. These toxicities can result from treatments like chemotherapy, radiation, or other medications, and can affect various parts of the body such as the liver, kidneys, gastrointestinal tract, skin, and nervous system. Non- limiting examples of non-hematologic toxicity include nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, liver enzyme abnormalities, kidney dysfunction, and neuropathy. In certain embodiments, non- hematologic toxicity excludes infusion reactions and immune-related adverse events. As used herein, the term “infusion reaction” is an adverse response that occurs during or shortly after the administration of medication intravenously (IV). Signs and symptoms of infusion reactions include, for example but without limitation, rigors, chills, wheezing, pruritus, flushing, rash, hypotension, hypoxemia, and fever. As used herein, the phrase “cytokine release syndrome” (CRS) is a condition where the immune system responds excessively to infection or certain treatments, such as immunotherapy. Details on CRS and its grading can be found in Lee et al. Biology of bloodAttorney Ref: 092295.0162 EIK-1019-WO and marrow transplantation 25.4 (2019): 625-638, the content of which is incorporated in its entirety. As used herein, an “immune-related adverse reaction” (irAR) is a side effect that occurs when the immune system becomes overactive in response to certain treatments, such as immunotherapies like immune checkpoint inhibitors. These reactions can affect various organs and tissues, leading to conditions such as inflammation, autoimmune disorders, and damage to healthy tissues. Non-limiting examples of affected tissues and organs include the skin, gastrointestinal tract, liver, and endocrine system. As used herein, the term “PD-1 antagonist” refers to a molecule that interferes with signal transduction resulting from the interaction of PD-1 with one or more of its binding partners, such as PD-L1 and / or PD L2. In certain embodiments, the PD-1 antagonist is a molecule that inhibits the binding of PD-1 to its binding partners. For example, PD-1 antagonists include anti-PD-1 antibodies, antigen binding fragments thereof, immunoadhesins, fusion proteins, oligopeptides and other molecules that interfere with signal transduction resulting from the interaction of PD-1 with PD-L1 and / or PD L2. Non-limiting examples of PD-1 antagonists include: cemiplimab, dostarlimab, pembrolizumab, tislelizumab, nivolumab, retifanlimab, and toripalimab.

For example, PD-L1 antagonists include anti-PD-L1 antibodies, antigen binding fragments thereof, immunoadhesins, fusion proteins, oligopeptides and other molecules that interfere with signal transduction resulting from the interaction of PD-L1 with PD-1. Non-limiting examples of PD-L1 antagonists include: atezolizumab, avelumab, durvalumab, sugemalimab, and cosibelimab. The term “antibody” herein is used in the broadest sense and encompasses various antibody structures, including but not limited to monoclonal antibodies, polyclonal antibodies, multi-specific antibodies (e.g. bispecific antibodies), and antibody fragments so long as they exhibit the desired antigen-binding activity and comprise an Fc region or a region equivalent to the Fc region of an immunoglobulin The terms “full-length antibody”, “intact antibody”, “and “whole antibody” are used herein interchangeably to refer to an antibody having a structure substantially similar to a native antibody structure or having heavy chains that contain an Fc region as defined herein.Attorney Ref: 092295.0162 EIK-1019-WO A “chemotherapeutic agent” is a compound useful in the treatment of cancer. In certain embodiments, the chemotherapeutic agent is one that is an FDA approved therapeutic that is part of a standard of care treatment. In certain examples, the chemotherapeutic agent is approved for the treatment of non-small cell lung cancer, including squamous and nonsquamous non-small cell lung cancer. Examples of such chemotherapeutic agents include, but are not limited to, carboplatin, paclitaxel, nab-paclitaxel, pemetrexed, and cisplatin. In certain embodiments, the chemotherapeutic agents approved for treatment of nonsquamous non-small cell lung cancer include, for example, a combination of carboplatin and pemetrexed or a combination of cisplatin and pemetrexed. In certain embodiments, the chemotherapeutic agents approved for treatment of squamous non-small cell lung cancer include, for example, a combination of carboplatin and paclitaxel, or a combination of carboplatin and nab-paclitaxel. The term “package insert” is used to refer to instructions customarily included in packages of therapeutic products, containing information such as therapeutic indications, usage, dosage, administration, combination therapy concerning the use of such therapeutic products. 6.2 Pharmaceutical Compositions & Dosages While the antitumor efficacy of EIK1001 in combination with anti-PD-1 or anti-PD- L1 therapeutics has been established against a variety of solid tumors in preclinical studies, there has remained a need in the art to determine dosages of TLR7 / 8 agonist-containing compositions, e.g., EIK1001-containing compositions, alone or in combination with one or more additional therapeutics, capable of eliciting: (1) effective anti-tumor activity; (2) an immune response; and / or (3) an increase in expression of one or more biomarkers associated with TLR7 and or TLR8 activation, while maintaining an advantageous safety profile. For the first time, the clinical studies disclosed herein evaluating EIK1001 (as a monotherapy, as well as in combination with additional therapeutics such as anti-PD-1 or anti- PD-L1 antagonists), have demonstrated the efficacy of specific dosages of this TLR7 / 8 agonist, while maintaining an advantageous safety profile. For example, but not by way of limitation, the results of two of these studies, a Phase 1, open-label, dose escalation study evaluating EIK1001 as a monotherapy and in combination with pembrolizumab (BDB001-101) and a Phase 1, open-label, dose-escalation study evaluating EIK1001 in combination with atezolizumab (BDB001-102), provide pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic (PK / PD) analyses, that allow for the determination doses of EIK1001 capable of eliciting: (1) effectiveAttorney Ref: 092295.0162 EIK-1019-WO anti-tumor activity; (2) an immune response; and / or (3) an increase in expression of one or more biomarkers associated with TLR7 and or TLR8 activation, which also exhibit an advantageous safety profile. Of note, the doses of TLR7 / 8 agonist-containing compositions described herein as capable of eliciting: (1) effective anti-tumor activity; (2) an immune response; and / or (3) an increase in expression of one or more biomarkers associated with TLR7 and or TLR8 activation, which also exhibit an advantageous safety profile, are based on a body surface area (BSA) mg / m2basis, rather than the mg / kg basis used in earlier trials. For example, after observing dose limiting toxicity (DLT) in two patients in the BDB001-101 Monotherapy Dose Escalation Trial (one patient in cohort 3 receiving 0.18 mg / kg and one patient in cohort 4 receiving 0.024 mg / kg), the dosing was revised to be based on BSA (mg / m2). The mg / m2dosage accounts for both the weight and the height of the subject, as opposed to the weight- based only method used to determine dosage when using a mg / kg approach. Moreover, the BSA approach also correlates with blood volume and renal and hepatic function. The doses administered to the participants who experienced Grade 3 cytokine release syndrome (CRS) corresponded to 0.82 mg / m2and 0.93 mg / m2when recalculated as a BSA-based dose. Among participants dosed based on BSA in the dose escalation trial (Cohorts 5 to 8), there were no DLTs among the 25 DLT evaluable participants. In fact, a maximum tolerated dose (MTD) for EIK1001 monotherapy was not reached. Efficacy including complete response (CR), partial response (PR), and stable disease (SD) was observed at doses of 0.60 mg / m2and 0.75 mg / m2, in contrast to only one response observed at a dose of 0.30 mg / m2when EIK1001 was combined with pembrolizumab. The observed efficacy was supported by a corresponding rise in serum cytokines IFN-γ and IP-10 in the 0.60 mg / m2and 0.75 mg / m2dose groups, which is understood to be representative of target engagement. In contrast, cytokine response was substantially lower in the 0.30 and 0.45 mg / m2dose groups, suggesting limited pharmacodynamic response at doses of ≤ 0.45 mg / m2. 6.2.1. Compositions Comprising TLR7 / 8 Agonist In view of the clinical results described herein, the present disclosure is directed, in certain embodiments, to compositions capable of eliciting: (1) effective anti-tumor activity; (2) an immune response; and / or (3) an increase in expression of one or more biomarkers associated with TLR7 and or TLR8 activation, which also exhibit advantageous safety profiles, comprising a TLR7 / 8 agonist at 0.60 mg / m2or 0.75 mg / m2.

Example 2: SafetyAttorney Ref: 092295.0162 EIK-1019-WO The safety of EIK1001 as monotherapy or in combination with pembrolizumab or atezolizumab was evaluated by tabulation of AEs, TEAEs, TRAEs, and SAEs by grade and relatedness to study drug administration. Phase 1 Study BDB001-101. The safety of EIK1001 as monotherapy or combination with pembrolizumab was evaluated for the Safety Population by tabulation of AEs, TEAEs, SAEs, and DLTs. A total of two participants (5.6%) experienced a DLT during the monotherapy dose escalation, both of which were cytokine release syndrome (CRS). Based on the original, protocol-specified mg / kg dosing (Cohorts 1 to 4), these two DLTs among the nine DLT- evaluable participants occurred in: 1 / 6 participants at the 0.018 mg / kg level and 1 / 1 participants at the 0.024 mg / kg level (Table 3). Following the DLT at 0.024 mg / kg, the Sponsor revised the dosing to be based on BSA (mg / m2). Dosage based on BSA is calculated by using the Analysis Body Surface Area formula: Formula = sqr[height (cm)*weight(kg) / 3600] The mg / m2dosage was used to determine the dosage for the individual patients because it takes into account both the weight and the height of the patient, as opposed to the weight-only method used to determine dosage based on a mg / kg basis. Of note, the two participants experiencing DLTs during the initial dose-escalation phase corresponded to 0.82 and 0.93 mg / m2dose levels when mapped to dosing based on BSA. Among participants dosed based on BSA (Cohorts 5 to 8), there were no DLTs among the 25 DLT evaluable participants. A maximum tolerated dose (MTD) for EIK1001 monotherapy was not reached. Of the 36 treated participants in the monotherapy dose-escalation phase, 25 (69.5%) experienced treatment-related TEAEs (TRAEs), 17 (47.2%) experienced ≥ Grade 3 TEAEs (6 of these ≥ Grade 3 TEAEs were disease progression and were recorded as AEs per protocol), 14 (38.9%) experienced serious TEAEs, and seven (19.4%) experienced TEAEs leading to drug discontinuation. No participants died due to treatment-related TEAEs (Table 3 and Table 4). The most common AEs (experienced by > 10% of participants) were fatigue, pyrexia, chills, anaemia, dyspnoea, disease progression, oedema peripheral, vomiting, diarrhoea, nausea, pruritus, constipation, decreased appetite, and headache. The most common TRAEs (experienced by > 10% of participants) were chills, pyrexia, fatigue, nausea, and pruritus. Table 3.

Example 4: Clinical Pharmacokinetics PK characteristics. Single dose PK of EIK1001 was characterized in the monotherapy arm of study BDB001-101 (Table 19). Based on the overall clearance [20.1 L / hr or 0.28 L / hr / kg for a 70 kg subject, ~18% of hepatic blood flow in humans (1.5 L / hr / kg)] and volume of distribution [171 L or 2.44 L / hr / kg for a 70 kg subject, ~4X total body water in humans (0.60 L / kg)], EIK1001 appears to be a low clearance and moderately distributed drug. The median elimination T1 / 2 was variable ranging from 4 to 12 hours. Key PK parameters such Area Under the Curve (AUC), Maximum Serum Concentrations (Cmax), and Clearance (CL) were generally similar after the second IV dose on Day 8 (Table 15). Overall, EIK1001 is unlikely to accumulate upon QW IV dosing. Increasing doses of intravenous EIK1001 resulted in a linear increase in exposure (Table 19 and Table 20). Overall, the median clearance was also similar between doses, Cycle 1 / Day 1 and Cycle 1 / Day 8 indicating that PK of EIK1001 followed linear kinetics. Table 19.

Pharmacokinetics of EIK1001 after intravenous administration is linear and generally dose-proportional between four dose levels (0.30, 0.45, 0.60 and 0.75 mg / m2). The T1 / 2 was variable and ranged from 4 to 12 hours. There was no drug accumulation upon QW IV dosing. Population PK analysis indicated that while body weight metrics (BW, BMI, BSA) can influence clearance, intrinsic factors such as age, gender, tumor type, ECOG status, hepatic impairment, renal impairment (mild / moderate) and combination drug (pembrolizumab and atezolizumab) do not have significant influence on the clearance. These drug attributes support the current BSA-based dosing, Inclusion / Exclusion criteria and combination drug strategy. The 0.60 mg / m2dose and 0.75 mg / m2dose are in the linear PK range of doses examined in Phase 1. Example 5: Exposure-PD assessmentAttorney Ref: 092295.0162 EIK-1019-WO The dataset for exposure-PD assessment consisted of combined BDB001-101 and BDB001-102 studies. For EIK1001 monotherapy, EIK1001 + pembrolizumab, and EIK1001 + atezolizumab, there was a rich assessment of PD biomarkers (IL-6, IL-8, IL-10, INF^, IP-10 and TNFα) on C1D1 and C1D8, and a sparse assessment at C3D1 and C6D1. This allowed determination of inter-occasion baseline levels, time to peak and duration of effect. Fold change from baseline (C1D1 pre-infusion) was calculated [(PD – baseline) / baseline] for C1D1, C1D8, C3D1 and C6D1. Only PD samples collected in the PK population were considered (PKPD population, N = 94). Since the PD data was variable, median fold change from baseline was used to describe the data. It was noted that the PD profiles were generally similar between C1D1 and C1D8. Also, since steroids were administered after C1D1, PKPD analysis was performed using C1D1 data to get an unbiased evaluation of the EIK1001 effect. The baseline levels of all biomarkers examined were similar before and after EIK1001 treatment, indicating that there was no carryover effect. While there was no change in IL-10 and TNFα, there was time-dependent increase in other biomarkers. The rank order for Tmax was IL-8 (3-5 hr) < IL-6 (5-8 hr) < IFN^ / IP-10 (7-8 hr). The earlier peak effect on IL-8 is consistent with a direct effect of TLR8 activation on neutrophils, whereas the delayed peak effect on IFN^ / IP-10 (Figure 5) is indicative of an indirect and downstream effect of TLR7 / 8 activation. The effect was also reversible after single dose of EIK1001 for all biomarkers (Figure 5). The overall effect of EIK1001 on key PD markers showing change was quantified by examining fold change from baseline at peak on C1D1 (Figure 6). The median fold changes in IL-6 (2.41 and 2.67) and IL-8 (1.72 and 1.59) were generally similar between the 0.60 mg / m2and 0.75 mg / m2doses. Single dose administration of EIK1001 was associated with a dose- dependent increase in IFN^ and IP-10 levels. The median fold changes from baseline at peak for IFN^ were 1.13, 1.37, 3.52 and 7.97 at 0.30, 0.45, 0.60 and 0.75 mg / m2doses, respectively. Similarly, the median fold changes from baseline at peak for IP-10 were 0.63, 0.71, 4.46 and 12.1 at 0.30, 0.45, 0.60 and 0.75 mg / m2doses, respectively. It was noted that subjects with PR / CR response tended to demonstrate at least a 2-fold increase in IFN^ and IP-10 levels. Overall, both the 0.60 mg / m2and 0.75 mg / m2doses of EIK1001 provide evidence of target engagement. Example 6: Exposure-efficacyAttorney Ref: 092295.0162 EIK-1019-WO Based on combined data from two clinical studies (Table 21), efficacy metrics [Clinical benefit or Best Overall Response defined as PR+CR+SD, or Maximal Change from Baseline for Target Lesion (≤ -10%)] were evaluated for their relationship to EIK1001 exposure and peak changes in key PD biomarkers.

If the relationship was statistically significant then further analysis was conducted to identify covariates for that specific efficacy parameter. Results of these analyses are summarized in Table 22. Table 22. Summary of Exposure vs. Efficacy Logistic Regression Analysis.

A graphical display of logistic regression analysis for the Maximal Change from Baseline for Target Lesion (≤ 10%) versus AUC^,ss and Cmax,ss is shown in Figure 7. The figure shows distribution of probabilities of this efficacy metric across four quadrants of exposure. The probability of efficacy for 0.60 mg / m2Cmax,ss (dash-dotted bolded line: Median = 9.20 ng / mL; Figure 7) was lower than that for 0.75 mg / m2Cmax,ss (solid bolded line: Median = 13.2 ng / mL; Figure 7). Similar observation was made for AUC (Figure 8). The distribution profile of responders vs. non-responders showed that responders were maximal when Cmax,ss was between the 0.60 mg / m2and 0.75 mg / m2doses, whereas responders were maximally associated with AUC^,ss of 0.60 mg / m2. Overall, the data suggest that efficacy profiles of 0.60 mg / m2and 0.75 mg / m2may overlap. Example 7: Exposure-Safety Based on the mechanism of action of EIK1001 and observed AEs in two clinical studies, the following AEs were evaluated for their relationship to EIK1001 exposure: CRS, fatigue, chills, pyrexia, infusion-related reactions, and AE Grade ≥ 3. The exposure vs. AE relationship was explored via logistics regression model by dividing exposure by quartiles. If the relationship was statistically significant then further analysis was conducted to identify risk factor for that specific AE. Results of these analyses are summarized in Table 23. To get an overall assessment of safety, a composite AE group of pooled AEs (CRS, chills, pyrexia and infusion-related reactions) filtered for AE Grade ≥ 3 was attempted. However, this resulted in only one subject with a CRS event. Therefore, the final composite AE analysis was attempted for All AE Grades as shown in Table 23. Table 23.

Composite AEs showed a significant relationship with Cmax,ss. A graphical display of logistic regression analysis for the Composite AE versus Cmax,ss is shown in Figure 9. The figure shows distribution of probabilities of Composite AEs across four quadrants of exposure. The probability of Composite AEs for 0.60 mg / m2Cmax,ss (dash-dotted bolded line: Median = 9.20 ng / mL; Figure 9) was lower than that for 0.75 mg / m2Cmax,ss (solid bolded line: Median = 13.2 ng / mL; Figure 9). Example 8: Risk-Benefit Analysis by Monte Carlo Simulation To select a dose for future clinical investigations with EIK1001, a holistic assessment of benefit and risk was performed using the available exposure-safety and exposure-efficacy relationships. Due to variability in PD data (IFN^ and IP-10), it was assumed that PK was the primary driver of response. Since there is no impact of DDI (pembrolizumab or atezolizumab) on the PK of EIK1001, the simulations are applicable for both monotherapy and combination. Based on the final population PK model of EIK1001, Monte Carlo simulations were performedAttorney Ref: 092295.0162 EIK-1019-WO in a total of 1000 virtual subjects (500 males and 500 females) for each of 3 dosing scenarios (0.45 mg / m2QW, 0.60 mg / m2QW and 0.75 mg / m2QW). A distribution of weight and height based on actual population was generated, assuming a correlation between the two parameters. Then the BSA was derived based on Mosteller formula to calculate the actual EIK1001 dose administered. The BSA of the virtual population was used to obtain dose of drug per simulated subject. Rich concentration-time profiles were simulated with a population PK model to derive exposure parameters such as area under the plasma concentration-time curve over a dosing interval (AUC^,ss) and maximum plasma concentration over a dosing interval (Cmax,ss) under steady state conditions. Exposure parameters were summarized with descriptive statistics according to dosing regimen. Model predicted AUC^,ss and Cmax,ss of EIK1001 in virtual patients were used as an input into the exposure-response models of safety (Table 23) and efficacy (Table 22) endpoints presenting statistically significant relationships. Predictions of maximum change from baseline of target lesion (≤ -10%), AE Grade ≥ 3 and Composite AE (All grades of CRS, Chills, Pyrexia and Infusion-related reactions) were derived based on the logistic regression models, including uncertainties on parameters. Estimated probabilities (95% CI) computed based on the median levels for simulated dose levels were generated. Odd Ratios (OR) of efficacy and safety metric for 0.45 mg / m2(Test group) and 0.75 mg / m2(Test group) compared to 0.60 mg / m2QW (Control group) were computed (Table 24). Overall results suggest that while 0.75 mg / m2dose was associated with a marginal 15% increase in the odds of efficacy over 0.60 mg / m2dose, the odds of increased safety events were 37%. Table 24.

Combining ICIs with chemotherapy (chemo) improves survival in advanced NSCLC, but not all patients benefit. EIK1001 activates dendritic cells via both innate and adaptive pathways, a mechanism distinct from ICIs, with clinical activity as monotherapy. This supports the rationale to add EIK1001 to the chemo + ICI standard of care (SOC) for Stage 4 NSCLC. The present example illustrates an ongoing multicenter, Phase 2, open-label study (EIK1001-005) of intravenous EIK1001 combined with SOC pembrolizumab (pembro) and chemo (carboplatin plus either pemetrexed or paclitaxel) in treatment-naïve participants (pts) with histologically confirmed Stage 4 nonsquamous (NSQ) or squamous (SQ) NSCLC (life expectancy ≥ 3 months, no prior therapy for advanced NSCLC, ECOG score 0 to 1, confirmation that first-line mutation-directed therapy is not indicated, and at least 1 RECIST 1.1 measurable lesion). Briefly, EIK1001 is administered weekly by IV infusion at a dose of 0.60 mg / m2until the end of Cycle 8 (each cycle being a 3-week time period), then every 3 weeks (Q3W) until the end of Cycle 35. Pembrolizumab is administered by IV infusion at a fixed dose of 200 mg Q3W. For nonsquamous NSCLC, after pembrolizumab administration, pemetrexed (500 mg / m2) is administered via IV Q3W. Participants receiving pemetrexed are supplemented with vitamin B12, folic acid, and corticosteroid prophylaxis. Once pemetrexed is completely administered, carboplatin (AUC 5 mg / mL / min) is administered IV Q3W for up to 4 cycles in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity. The dosage of carboplatin for nonsquamous NSCLC participants does not exceed 750 mg. For squamous NSCLC, after the pembrolizumab infusion is complete, paclitaxel (200 mg / m2) is administered Q3W for 4 cycles . Once paclitaxel is completely administered, carboplatin (AUC 6 mg / mL / min) is administeredAttorney Ref: 092295.0162 EIK-1019-WO Q3W for up to 4 cycles in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity. The dosage of carboplatin for squamous NSCLC participants should not exceed 900 mg. The presently disclosed study includes a safety run-in period (n = 6) and an expansion (n = 25) for each NSCLC subtype. As of May 1, 2025, 48 patients had been treated for a median follow up of 4 months: 34 pts with NSQ and 14 pts with SQ NSCLC. No dose-limiting toxicities were observed during safety run-in. Responders had a median reduction of 57% in target lesions within the first 3 months, with a PR / CR rate of 63%. Interim results are in Table 25. Table 25. Summary of Phase 2 results.

[0001] First-line therapy using EIK1001 combined with chemotherapy + ICIs produced a substantial response rate (63%) in advanced NSCLC and did not increase adverse events (AEs) relative to that expected from SOC alone. The response rate has continued to improve with successive efficacy assessments. Thus far, the improvement with successive scans in a short time on treatment and suggests that the efficacy of the combination may be an underestimate at this point. * * * Although the foregoing invention has been described in some detail by way of illustration and example for purposes of clarity of understanding, the descriptions and examplesAttorney Ref: 092295.0162 EIK-1019-WO should not be construed as limiting the scope of the invention.
