AI Technical Summary
Current treatments for aggressive forms of non-Hodgkin lymphoma, such as ABC-DLBCL, have limited efficacy, with R-CHOP regimen failing in 30-50% of patients, and there is a need for improved front-line therapies and salvage strategies that avoid cytotoxic chemotherapy.
A combination therapy using a MALT1 inhibitor and a BTK inhibitor, specifically (1S,3R)-3-(4-((R)-2-chloro-8-methyl-8-(trifluoromethyl)-7,8-dihydro-6H-pyrazolo[1,5-a]pyrrolo[2,3-e]pyrimidin-6-yl)phenyl)-2,2-difluoro-1-methyl-N-((trans)-3-(methylsulfonyl)cyclobutyl)cyclopropane-1-carboxamide, is administered to target NF-κB signaling pathway, potentially overcoming resistance to BTK inhibitors and enhancing anti-tumor activity.
The combination therapy demonstrates additive effects in killing CD79 mutant ABC DLBCL cells, offering a potential therapeutic benefit for cancers and immunological diseases, including those resistant to BTK inhibitors, by reducing regulatory T cells and enhancing antitumor immunity.

[0001] COMBINATION THERAPY USING A MALT1 INHIBITOR AND A BTK INHIBITOR TECHNICAL FIELD The present disclosure is directed to a combination therapy comprising an inhibitor of mucosa- associated lymphoid tissue lymphoma translocation protein and an inhibitor of a BTK inhibitor, and methods of use thereof. BACKGROUND MALT1 (mucosa-associated lymphoid tissue lymphoma translocation 1) is a key mediator of the nuclear factor kappa-light-chain-enhancer of activated B cells (NF-κB) signaling pathway and has been shown to play a critical role in different types of lymphoma, including activated B cell-like (ABC) subtype of diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL). MALT1 is the only human paracaspase that transduces signals from the B cell receptor (BCR) and T cell receptor (TCR). MALT1 is the active subunit of the CBM complex which is formed upon receptor activation. The “CBM complex” consists of multiple subunits of three proteins: CARD11 (caspase recruitment domain family member 11), BCL10 (B-cell CLL / Lymphoma 10), and MALT1. MALT1 affects NF-κB signaling by two mechanisms: firstly, MALT1 functions as a scaffolding protein and recruits NF-κB signaling proteins such as TRAF6, TAB-TAKl or ΝΕΜΟ-ΙΚΚα / β; and secondly, MALT1, as a cysteine protease, cleaves and thereby deactivates negative regulators of NF- κB signaling, such as RelB, A20 or CYLD. The ultimate endpoint of MALT1 activity is the nuclear translocation of the FKB transcription factor complex and activation of FKB signaling. Non-Hodgkin lymphoma represents a diverse set of diseases, of which more than 60 subtypes have been identified. Worldwide, DLBCL represents the most common subtype of NHL, accounting for 30% to 40% of all newly diagnosed cases. DLBCL typically presents as an aggressive lymphoma, evolving over months and resulting in symptomatic disease that is fatal without treatment (Ibid). Constitutive activation of NF-κB signaling is the hallmark of ABC-DLBCL (Diffuse Large B Cell Lymphoma of the Activated B Cell-like subtype), the more aggressive form of DLBCL. DLBCL is the most common form of non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma (NHL), accounting for approximately 25% of lymphoma cases while ABC-DLBCL comprises approximately 40% of DLBCL. NF-κB pathway activation is driven by mutations of signaling components, such as CD79A / B, CARD11, MYD88 or A20, in ABC-DLBCL patients. Outcomes in DLBCL have improved dramatically over the last decade with the addition of rituximab to cyclophosphamide, doxorubicin, vincristine, and prednisone (R CHOP). This regimen remains the current standard of care. However, R CHOP treatment fails in about 30% to 50% of patients with DLBCL. Less than half of these patients can be cured with stem cell transplantation, and those who are not cured will typically die from their disease. Since the best chance for cure is front-line treatment, there have been many attempts to improve upon R CHOP but so far, these treatments have failed to significantly improve outcomes. Recently, several studies have explored the addition of targeted agents to R CHOP in front-line treatment. Promising signs of activity in some of these studies encourage the further exploration of combinations that may improve cure rate of targeted agents in select patients. Thus, optimization of front-line therapy, as well as the development of more effective salvage strategies, remains an important objective. Follicular lymphoma (FL), mucosa-associated lymphoid tissue (MALT) lymphoma, chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL), small lymphocytic lymphoma (SLL), mantle cell lymphoma (MCL) and Waldenström macroglobulinemia (WM) are considered largely incurable lymphomas that require therapies throughout the course of disease. Currently, there are limited lines of therapy available for these diseases, and treatments are needed that avoid the use of cytotoxic chemotherapy. The use of BTK inhibitors, for example Ibrutinib, provides clinical proof-of-concept that inhibiting NFΚB signaling in ABC-DLBCL is efficacious. MALT1 is downstream of BTK in the NFKB signaling pathway and a MALT1 inhibitor could target ABC-DLBCL patients not responding to Ibrutinib, mainly patients with CARD11 mutations, as well as treat patients that acquired resistance to Ibrutinib. Small molecule tool compound inhibitors of MALT1 protease have demonstrated efficacy in preclinical models of ABC-DLBCL. Interestingly, covalent catalytic site and allosteric inhibitors of MALT1 protease function have been described, suggesting that inhibitors of this protease may be useful as pharmaceutical agents. The chromosomal translocation creating the API2 -MALT1 fusion oncoprotein is the most common mutation identified in MALT (mucosa-associated lymphoid tissue) lymphoma. API2 -MALT1 is a potent activator of the NF^B pathway. API2-MALT1 mimics ligand-bound TNF receptor and promotes TRAF2-dependent ubiquitination of RIP1 which acts as a scaffold for activating canonical NF^B signaling. Furthermore, API2-MALT1 has been shown to cleave and generate a stable, constitutively active fragment of NF^B-inducing kinase (NIK) thereby activating the non-canonical FKB pathway. In addition to lymphomas, MALT1 has been shown to play a critical role in innate and adaptive immunity. MALT1 protease inhibitor can attenuate disease onset and progression of mouse experimental allergic encephalomyelitis, a mouse model of multiple sclerosis. Mice expressing catalytically inactive MALT1 mutant showed loss of marginal zone B cells and B1B cells and general immune deficiency characterized as decreased T and B cell activation and proliferation. However, those mice also developed spontaneous multi-organ autoimmune inflammation at the age of 9 to 10 weeks. It is still poorly understood why MALT1 protease dead knock-in mice show a break of tolerance while conventional MALT1 KO mice do not. One hypothesis suggests the unbalanced immune homeostasis in MALT1 protease dead knock-in mice may be caused by incomplete deficiency in T and B cell but severe deficiency of immunoregulatory cells. Similarly, MALT deficiency in humans has been associated with combined immunodeficiency disorder. Given the difference between genetic mutation and pharmacological inhibition, a phenotype of MALT1 protease dead knock-in mice might not resemble that of patients treated with MALT1 protease inhibitors. A reduction of immunosuppressive T cells by MALT1 protease inhibition may be beneficial to cancer patients by potentially increasing antitumor immunity. Thus, MALT1 inhibitors may provide a therapeutic benefit to patients suffering from cancer and / or immunological diseases. MALT1 inhibition can be effective in the treatment of ABC DLBCL and other DLBCL subtypes, MALT lymphoma, as well as CLL, MCL, and WM tumors, including tumors that are resistant to a Bruton tyrosine kinase inhibitor (BTKi). In addition, MALT1 inhibitors used together with a BTKi may provide a therapeutic benefit to patients suffering from cancers and / or immunological diseases. Nagel et al. determined that “[c]ombined inhibition of BTK by Ibrutinib and MALT1 by S-Mepazine additively impaired MALT1 cleavage activity and expression of NF-κB pro-survival factors. Thereby, combinatorial Ibrutinib and S- Mepazine treatment enhanced killing of CD79 mutant ABC DLBCL cells.” Nagel et al., Oncotarget 2015, 6, 42232-42242 at Abstract. Specifically, Nagel et al. observed that “[i]n contrast to the synergistic effects observed for instance by the combination of BTK and PI3K-AKT inhibitors
[0024] , BTK and MALT1 co-treatment yielded additive effects on MALT1 activity and killing of CD79 mutant ABC DLBCL cells. It confirms that both inhibitors are primarily targeting pathological BCR- NFκB signaling.” Nagel et al., Oncotarget 2015, 6, 42239-42240. However, while BTK inhibitor ibrutinib has shown beneficial anti-tumor effects in many B cell malignancies, resistance may occur necessitating the development of further combination therapies to improve anti-tumor activity.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION The disclosure may be more fully appreciated by reference to the following description, including the following glossary of terms and the concluding examples. It is to be appreciated that certain features of the disclosed compositions and methods which are, for clarity, described herein in the context of separate aspects, may also be provided in combination in a single aspect. Conversely, various features of the disclosed compositions and methods that are, for brevity, described in the context of a single aspect, may also be provided separately or in any subcombination. It will be understood by those within the art that, in general, terms used herein, and especially in the appended claims (for example, bodies of the appended claims) are generally intended as “open” terms (for example, the term “including” should be interpreted as “including but not limited to,” the term “having” should be interpreted as “having at least,” the term “includes” should be interpreted as “includes but is not limited to,” etc.). It will be further understood by those within the art that if a specific number of an introduced claim recitation is intended, such an intent will be explicitly recited in the claim, and in the absence of such recitation no such intent is present. For example, as an aid to understanding, the following appended claims may contain usage of the introductory phrases "at least one" and "one or more" to introduce claim recitations. However, the use of such phrases should not be construed to imply that the introduction of a claim recitation by the indefinite articles "a" or "an" limits any particular claim containing such introduced claim recitation to aspects containing only one such recitation, even when the same claim includes the introductory phrases "one or more" or "at least one" and indefinite articles such as "a" or "an" (for example, “a” and / or “an” should be interpreted to mean “at least one” or “one or more”); the same holds true for the use of definite articles used to introduce claim recitations. In addition, even if a specific number of an introduced claim recitation is explicitly recited, those skilled in the art will recognize that such recitation should be interpreted to mean at least the recited number (for example, the bare recitation of "two recitations," without other modifiers, means at least two recitations, or two or more recitations). Furthermore, in those instances where a convention analogous to “at least one of A, B, and C, etc.” is used, in general such a construction is intended in the sense one having skill in the art would understand the convention (for example, “a system having at least one of A, B, and C” would include but not be limited to systems that have A alone, B alone, C alone, A and B together, A and C together, B and C together, and / or A, B, and C together, etc.). Compound 3 is (1S,3R)-3-(4-((R)-2-chloro-8-methyl-8-(trifluoromethyl)-7,8-dihydro-6H- pyrazolo[1,5-a]pyrrolo[2,3-e]pyrimidin-6-yl)phenyl)-2,2-difluoro-1-methyl-N-((trans)-3- (methylsulfonyl)cyclobutyl)cyclopropane-1-carboxamide having the following structure of Formula (I): . Unless all references to the structure of Formula (I), Compound 3, the MALT inhibitor, and (1S,3R)-3-(4-((R)-2-chloro-8-methyl-8-(trifluoromethyl)-7,8- dihydro-6H-pyrazolo[1,5-a]pyrrolo[2,3-e]pyrimidin-6-yl)phenyl)-2,2-difluoro-1-methyl-N-((trans)- 3-(methylsulfonyl)cyclobutyl)cyclopropane-1-carboxamide (‘Compound 3’ or ‘the MALT1 inhibitor’), in the context of this invention, might also refer to the pharmaceutically acceptable salts and solvates (including hydrates) thereof including any subgroup thereof or any combination of pharmaceutically acceptable salts and solvates thereof, even if not explicitly referred to, and are included in the scope of the present invention. As will be understood by one skilled in the art, for any and all purposes, such as in terms of providing a written description, all ranges disclosed herein also encompass any and all possible subranges and combinations of subranges thereof. Any listed range can be easily recognized as sufficiently describing and enabling the same range being broken down into at least equal halves, thirds, quarters, fifths, tenths, etc. As a non-limiting example, each range discussed herein can be readily broken down into a lower third, middle third and upper third, etc. As will also be understood by one skilled in the art all language such as “up to,” “at least,” and the like include the number recited and refer to ranges which can be subsequently broken down into subranges as discussed above. Finally, as will be understood by one skilled in the art, a range includes each individual member. Thus, for example, a group having 1-3 component refers to groups having 1, 2, or 3 components. Similarly, a group having 1-5 cells refers to groups having 1, 2, 3, 4, or 5 components, and so forth. Various of the above-disclosed and other features and functions, or alternatives thereof, may be combined into many other different systems or applications. Various presently unforeseen or unanticipated alternatives, modifications, variations or improvements therein may be subsequently made by those skilled in the art, each of which is also intended to be encompassed by the disclosed aspect. The term “about” as used herein when immediately preceding a numerical value means a range of plus or minus 10% of that value, for example, “about 50” means 45 to 55, “about 25,000” means 22,500 to 27,500, etc., unless the context of the disclosure indicates otherwise, or is inconsistent with such an interpretation.

Alternate or additional in vitro assays may be used to quantitate the ability of the inhibitor to bind to protein or nucleic acid molecules within the cell. Inhibitor binding may be measured by radiolabelling the inhibitor prior to binding, isolating the inhibitor / target molecule complex and determining the amount of radiolabel bound. Alternatively or additionally, inhibitor binding may be determined by running a competition experiment where new inhibitors are incubated with purified proteins or nucleic acids bound to known radioligands. Detailed conditions of exemplary systems for assaying compounds described herein as MALT1 inhibitors are set forth in the Biological Examples below. Such assays are exemplary and not intended to limit the scope of the invention. The skilled practitioner can appreciate that modifications can be made to conventional assays to develop equivalent or other assays that can be employed to comparably assess activity or otherwise characterize compounds and / or compositions as described herein. In Vitro Assays Biological Example 1 MALT1 Biochemical Protease Assay MALT1 protease activity was assessed in an in vitro assay using a tetrapeptide as substrate and full- length MALT1 protein (Strep-MALT1(1-824)-His) purified from baculovirus-infected insect cells. The tetrapeptide LRSR is coupled to AMC (7-amino-4-methylcoumarin) and provides a quenched, fluorescent substrate for the MALT1 protease (SM Biochemicals). Cleavage of AMC from the Arginine residue results in an increase in coumarin fluorescence measured at 460 nm (excitation 355 nm). The final assay buffer consisted of 10 nM FL MALT1 protein, 200 µM Ac-LRSR-AMC, 50 mM Tris pH 7.5, 0.6 M Citrate, 1 mM dithiothreitol (DTT), 1 mM ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid (EDTA), 0.05% bovine serum albumin (BSA) and 1.5% dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO). Test compounds were spotted at 50 nL in 100% DMSO per well of a black 384-Proxiplate (Perkin Elmer). Test compound concentrations ranged from 30 µM to 0.5 nM using 11 dilution steps (1:3). Background signal was measured from control wells containing assay buffer without enzyme which functions as low control (LC). High control (HC) values were generated using the reaction with enzyme but no compound treatment. Compounds were pre-incubated with MALT1 enzyme for 50 minutes at RT. Substrate was added subsequently, and fluorescence was measured in Labsystems fluoroskan at excitation 355 nm and emission 460 nm to determine time 0. The reaction was subsequently incubated for 4 h at RT and fluorescence was measured. For IC50calculations, timepoint 0 was subtracted from the 4 h timepoint to correct for any potential autofluorescence of the compounds. The enzyme reaction was linear during the 4 h incubation period. Characterization of the substrate Ac-LRSR-AMC determined the Michaelis constant KMat 200 µM. IC50values were calculated using the following formula (Z prime should be >0.5): LC = Median of the low control values = Low control: Reaction without enzyme HC = Median of the High control values = High Control: Reaction with enzyme %Effect = 100-[((sample-LC) / (HC-LC)) x 100] %Control = (sample / HC) x 100 %Controlmin = ((sample-LC) / (HC-LC)) x 100 A best-fit curve was fitted by a minimum sum of squares method to the plot of %Controlmin vs. compound concentration. From this an IC50value (inhibitory concentration causing 50 % inhibition) can be obtained. An estimate of the slope of the plot in terms of the Hill coefficient was also obtained. IC50Calculation: yi= LB + UB – LB 1 +10(h*(pCONCi-pIC50))with y = estimated response UB = upper bound LB = lower bound h = Hill slope of curve CONC = concentration Used in “Lexis Dose Response Curve Fitting” Version 1.0.

MALT1-induced cleavage allows for a conformational change that reestablishes a functional luciferase protein resulting in luminescence, and hence luciferase activity would be a surrogate of endogenous MALT1 protease activity. Jurkat MALT1 GloSensorTMwere generated by electroporation and selected and maintained in the presence of 0.5 mg / mL Geneticin. MALT1 protease is basally inactive in Jurkat cells and can be activated by treatment with PMA / Ionomycin. Small molecule MALT1 inhibitors added prior to PMA / Ionomycin addition prevent MALT1 protease activation and, therefore, the cleavage of the MALT1 GloSensor split luciferase reporter in a dose-dependent manner. Jurkat MALT1 GloSensorTMcells were maintained in complete RPMI 1640 media containing 10% fetal bovine serum, 10mM 4-(2-hydroxyethyl)-1-piperazineethanesulfonic acid (HEPES), 100 units / mL of penicillin, 100 µg / mL of streptomycin and 0.5 mg / mL Geneticin. Prior to the assay, compounds were made 2.5-fold serial dilutions in DMSO. 100 nL of of test compounds were spotted per well of 384-well plates (Perkin Elmer, catalogue number 6007688). Jurkat cells were harvested by centrifuge at 1200 RPM for 5 min and suspended in fresh complete RPMI 1640 media with 2% GloSensor™ cAMP Reagent and preincubated for 45-60 minutes at 37 °C in a 5% CO2incubator. A volume of 50 uL of preincubated Jurkat MALT1 GloSensorTMcells (1 x 105cells) were seeded in each well of 384-well plate. Next, a volume 2 µL of diluted PMA / Ionomycin (2.5 mg / mL / 25 µM respectively, Sigma, catalogue number P1585 and 407953) in DMSO were added to each well. After incubation at 37 °C in 5% CO2incubator for 4 h, luminescence was measured on the Envision (Perkin Elmer) at 37 °C. IC50values were calculated using SmartFit in GeneData Screener®: where: x = concentration y = activity S0 = activity at bottom plateau of curve Sinf = activity at top plateau of curve S50 = inflection point, halfway between S0 and Sinf h = Hill slope of curve Resultant data are shown in Table 4.

Cell passage number should not exceed 30. Cells should be kept between 0.5 – 1.5 million cells per mL during culturing. For the Mesoscale assay, 100,000 OCI-Ly3 cells were seeded per well into black-colored 96-well plates with clear bottom (Corning®#3904) and test compounds were added in 9 dilution steps (1:2) ranging from 15 µM to 58.6 nM (final DMSO concentration 0.3%). DMSO control wells were used to determine the maximum signal (High Control (HC)). Treatment with reference compounds at an appropriate dose served as positive control for MALT1 inhibition and was used to determine the maximum inhibition (Low Control (LC)). Compounds and cells were incubated for 24 h at 37 °C and 5% CO2 (assay volume is 150 µL). After 24 h of incubation 50 µL of the supernatant was transferred to an MSD plate (V-Plex Proinflammation Panel 1 (human) kit, Mesoscale (MSD)) and incubated for 2 h with vigorous shaking (600 rpm) at room temperature. Following incubation, plates were washed 3x with phosphate-buffered saline (PBS) + 0.05% Tween-20 and 25 µL detection antibody solution (IL-6 & IL-10 antibodies in diluent 3 (MSD)) was added per well followed by 2 h of incubation with vigorous shaking (600 rpm) at room temperature. After 3x washes with PBS + 0.05% Tween-20, plates were incubated with 150 µL 2x Read Buffer T and read on SECTOR imager.

OCI-Ly7 cells were propagated in IMDM (ThermoFisher) supplemented with 10% fetal bovine serum (HyClone), 2 mM L-glutamine (Sigma Aldrich) and 50 µg / mL Gentamycin. Cells should be kept between 0.15 – 3 million cells per mL and passed every 3-4 days during culturing. Cell passage numbers should not exceed 20. To assess anti-proliferative effects, 450 nL of test compounds were spotted per well of U-bottom 96- well plates (Corning®, #3975).500 OCI-Ly3 or OCI-Ly7 cells were seeded in 150 µL media per well and incubated for 8 days at 37 °C and 5% CO2. Cell plating numbers were chosen based on growth curves to ensure linear cell growth. After 8 days of incubation, 100 µL of the plated cells were resuspended up and down by pipette and transferred to a flat bottom black plate (Corning®, #3904). 50 µL CellTiterGLO reagent (Promega) were added to each well and luminescence was measured on Envision (Perkin Elmer) after 10 minutes shaking at 300 rpm followed by 10 minutes of incubation at room temperature in the dark.

Combination Proliferation Assay of Compound 3 with Compound B ABC-DLBCL (TMD8) and MCL (REC-1) cell lines were harvested by centrifugation at 200×g for 5 minutes at room temperature (RT), then counted after dilution with Trypan Blue using a Countess II Cell Counter. Cells were diluted to the appropriate concentration for each cell line in complete culture medium. Then, 150 μL / well were seeded in 96-well round-bottom ultra-low attachment plates and exposed to a concentration range of Compound 3 (7-point serial dilution range of 10 μM to 0.86 nM) and BTKi (6-point serial dilution range of 2 μM to 0.17 nM). The DMSO content was normalized to 0.2%. Compounds were spotted using a Tecan D300e instrument. Cell seeding numbers were chosen based on growth curves to ensure linear growth throughout the experiment: TMD8 (800 cells / well) and REC-1 (800 cells / well). Cells were incubated for 8 days at 37°C, 5% CO2. Viability at the end of the experiment was determined by adding 50 μL of CellTiter-Glo to 100 μL of cells in a new 96-well flat-bottom black plate. Plates were incubated at RT for 10 minutes in the dark and centrifuged at 200×g for 2 minutes. Luminescence was read on an Envision 7 (PerkinElmer). The experiment was performed 3 times for each cell line. The monotherapy data were modeled using a 4-parameter logistic regression with a common baseline being estimated for both monotherapies and individual estimates for the remaining 3 parameters. Additionally, the lower asymptote was constraint to be ≥0. These 4-parameter logistic regression models were subsequently used to predict the expected effect of the combination under generalized Loewe, and Highest Single Agent (HSA) null models. The observed combination effects were evaluated using the Biochemically Intuitive Generalized Loewe Model R package, which measures the evidence of synergy in the data, in the presence of variability, against certain null models derived from the monotherapies. In a second step, hypothesis tests at 5% significance level were performed that basically contrast the observed readouts of the combination experiments with those predicted from the null model derived from the monotherapies where both highest single agent and generalized Loewe were assessed for these studies. For the estimation of the standard error, a linear mean-variance trend was assumed, and 5,000 iterations were used for bootstrapping the variance covariance matrix of the observed combination effects. All analyses were performed in R Version 4.2.2 and BIGL R Version 1.6.8.

Experiments were carried out 3 times independently. Synergistic effects were observed in the CD79b-mutant ABC-DLBCL cell line TMD8 and in the MCL cell line REC-1, which are sensitive to both agents in monotherapy (Figure 5 and 6).
