Description

[0001] PAT059977-WO-PCT TARGETED DEGRADATION OF VAV1 TECHNICAL FIELD This disclosure features chemical entities (e.g., a compound or a pharmaceutically 5 acceptable salt thereof) that degrade human Proto-oncogene VAV 1 protein (VAV1). These chemical entities are useful, e.g., for treating a subject (e.g., a human subject) having a disorder or disease that can be treated by reducing the level of VAV1. This disclosure also features compositions containing these chemical entities as well as methods of using and making these chemical entities. 10 BACKGROUND The ubiquitin proteasome system can be manipulated with different small molecules to trigger targeted degradation of specific proteins of interest. Promoting the targeted degradation of proteins using small molecule degraders is emerging as a new modality in the treatment of 15 diseases. One such modality relies on redirecting the activity of E3 ligases such as cereblon (a phenomenon known as E3 reprogramming) using low molecular weight compounds, which have been termed molecular glues (also called molecular glue degraders; “MGDs”), to promote the poly-ubiquitination and ultimately proteasomal degradation of new protein substrates involved in the development of diseases. Molecular glues bind to both the E3 ligase and the target protein. It20is believed that the interaction between the molecular glue and the E3 ligase creates a surface that promotes formation of a complex with the target protein, permitting subsequent degradation of the target protein. Examples of molecular glues for the E3 ligase cereblon include: Thalidomide, Lenalidomide and Pomalidomide, all of which are immunomodulatory imide drugs (IMiDs) approved by the FDA for use in hematological cancers. 25 VAV family proteins, including VAV1, VAV2 and VAV3, are guanine nucleotide exchange factors (GEFs) for Rho family GTPases. VAV1 is a 95 kDa protein that is a positive regulator of T cell receptor and B cell receptor signaling. VAV1 expression is normally highly restricted to hematopoietic cells. VAV1 becomes rapidly phosphorylated on tyrosine in response to a variety of stimuli, including stimulation of T-cell receptor (TCR), B cell receptor (BCR), and30various cytokine receptors. VAV1 regulates multiple cellular functions and signaling pathways in hematopoietic-derived cells (e.g., T- and B-cells, natural killer cells, and osteoclasts) through activation of certain GTPases. VAV1-mediated functions include gene transcription, development and activation of immune cells (e.g., T- and B-cells). VAV1 is a positive regulator of (TCR) 1

[0002] PAT059977-WO-PCT signaling including nuclear factor of activated T cells (NFAT), interferon gamma (IFNɣ) and Interleukin-2 (IL-2) cytokine secretion. Knock-in mice having a mutated VAV1 with disrupted GEF activity, but intact GEF- independent function, show reduced T cells proliferation and activation in response to allogeneic 5 stimulation and showed reduced expansion of T cells in a systemic graft-versus-host model (Haubert et al. 2012 Transplantation Immunology 26: 212, 2012). VAV1 deficient mice are resistant to MOG(5-55)-induced experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis (EAE), a commonly used model of multiple sclerosis (Korn et al. 2003 Journal of Neuroimmunology 139:17). Finally, genome-wide CRISPR activation (CRISPRa) and interference (CRISPRi) 10 screens in primary human T cells identified VAV1 as an important positive regulator of T cell function (Schmidt et al.2022 Science 375:6580). SUMMARY This disclosure features chemical entities (e.g., a compound or a pharmaceutically 15 acceptable salt thereof) that degrade Proto-oncogene VAV 1 protein (VAV1). These chemical entities are useful, e.g., for treating a subject (e.g., a human subject) having a disorder or disease that can be treated by reducing the level of VAV1, thereby reducing VAV activity in cells. By reducing the level of VAV1, the chemical entities can reduce signaling in certain immune cell activation pathways. For example, the chemical entities may be used to reduce inflammation or 20 autoimmune activity. They may be useful for treating, for example, multiple sclerosis, rheumatoid arthritis, myasthenia gravis, chronic lymphocytic leukemia, ulcerative colitis, psoriasis, cutaneous lupus, axial spondylarthritis graft versus host disease, and other disorders referred to herein. This disclosure also features compositions containing the chemical entities as well as methods of using and making the same. 25 VAV1 is a dominant signal transduction protein in the adaptive immune system. It is a positive regulator of immune receptor signaling in both T cells and B cells. Thus, reduction in VAV1 can reduce immune cell activation, immune cell proliferation and the production of various cytokines. For at least these reasons, degradation of VAV1 can be therapeutically beneficial in a variety of disease conditions. 30 In one aspect, this disclosure features compounds of Formula (I) or pharmaceutically acceptable salts thereof, 2

In some embodiments, M is a linker as defined in WO 2021 / 198966, which is incorporated by reference in its entirety. The linker may be a cleavable linker or non-cleavable linker. In certain 20 aspects, the linker can contain a heterobifunctional group. In the present disclosure, the term "heterobifunctional group" refers to a chemical moiety that connects the linker of which it is a part to the binding moiety. Heterobifunctional groups are characterized as having different reactive groups at either end of the chemical moiety. Attachment to Bm, can be accomplished through chemical or enzymatic conjugation, or a combination of both. Chemical conjugation involves the 25 controlled reaction of accessible amino acid residues on the surface of the binding moiety with a reaction handle on the heterobifunctional group. Examples of chemical conjugation include, but are not limited to, lysine amide coupling, cysteine mediated coupling, and coupling via a non- natural amino acid incorporated by genetic engineering, wherein non-natural amino acid residues with a desired reaction handle are installed onto Bm. In enzymatic conjugation, an enzyme 32

[0033] PAT059977-WO-PCT mediates the coupling of the linker with an accessible amino residue on the binding moiety. Examples of enzymatic conjugation include, but are not limited to, transpeptidation using sortase, transpeptidation using microbial transglutaminase, and N-glycan engineering. Chemical conjugation and enzymatic conjugation may also be used sequentially. For example, enzymatic 5 conjugation can also be used for installing unique reaction handles on Bm to be utilized in subsequent chemical conjugation. In some embodiments, M is a linker as defined in WO 2023 / 037268, which is incorporated by reference in its entirety. In some embodiments, M is selected from the group consisting of 10wherein: q is from 2 to 10; Z1, Z2, Z3, Z4, and Z5are each independently absent or a naturally-occurring amino acid residue in the L- or D-configuration, provided that at least two of Z1, Z2, Z3, Z4, and Z5are amino acid 15 residues; is the point of attachment to the parent molecular (degrader) moiety; and is the point of attachment to the binding moiety. In some embodiments, Z1, Z2, Z3, Z4, and Z5are independently absent or selected from the group20 consisting of L-valine, D-valine, L-citrulline, D-citrulline, L-alanine, D-alanine, L- glutamine, D- glutamine, L-glutamic acid, D-glutamic acid, L-aspartic acid, D-aspartic acid, L- asparagine, D- asparagine, L-phenylalanine, D-phenylalanine, L-lysine, D-lysine, and glycine; provided that at least two of Z1, Z2, Z3, Z4, and Z5are amino acid residues.25The term “binding moiety” as used herein refers to any molecule that recognizes and binds to a cell surface marker or receptor. The binding moiety may be an antibody, antibody fragment, or an 33

[0034] PAT059977-WO-PCT antigen-binding fragment. An antibody is a protein generated by the immune system that is capable of recognizing and binding to a specific antigen. A target antigen generally has numerous binding sites, also called epitopes, recognized by CDRs on multiple antibodies. Each antibody that specifically binds to a different epitope has a different structure. Thus, one antigen may have more 5 than one corresponding antibody. The term "antibody" herein is used in the broadest sense and specifically covers monoclonal antibodies, single domain antibodies, polyclonal antibodies, multispecific antibodies (e.g., bispecific antibodies), and antibody fragments, so long as they exhibit the desired biological activity. Antibodies may be murine, human, humanized, chimeric, or derived from other species. A monoclonal antibody (mAb) to an antigen-of-interest can be 10 prepared by using any technique known in the art which provides for the production of antibody molecules by continuous cell lines in culture. These include, but are not limited to, the hybridoma technique, the human B cell hybridoma technique, and the EBV-hybridoma technique. Such antibodies may be of any immunoglobulin class including IgG, IgM, IgE, IgA, and IgD and any subclass thereof. The hybridoma producing the mAbs of use in this disclosure may be cultivated15in vitro or in vivo. The skilled person would understand how to provide an appropriate binding moiety for use in a conjugate depending on the intended therapeutic use. This is described, for example, in Nature Reviews Drug Discovery volume 22, pages 641–661 (2023), which is incorporated by reference 20 in its entirety. In particular, an antibody, antibody fragment or an antibody-binding fragment used as a binding moiety must be capable of targeting a particular cell surface marker or receptor associated with the disorder to be treated. For example, the antibody trastuzumab can be employed if the desired target is HER2. 25 In some embodiments, the binding moiety is capable of binding to an antigen selected from ⍺4β7, CD3, CD4, CD20, OX40, CD28, PD-1, ICOS, BCMA / TACl, CD52, CD30, CD19, CCR8, CD79b, CD22, CD4, CD7, CD38, CD33 or CD8 or combinations thereof.

[0121] PAT059977-WO-PCT Example K: Oral dosing of VAV1 MGDs inhibit EAE disease progression in a dose- dependent manner 5 To induce experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis (EAE), J C57BL / 6 (Beijing Vital River Laboratory Animal Co; #213) mice were injected subcutaneously with an emulsified mixture consisting of 100 μg of the synthetic peptide derived from myelin oligodendrocyte glycoprotein (MOG35-55; GL Biochem Ltd; #51716)) and 200 µg M. tuberculosis (Difco; #231141) were mixed with incomplete Freund’s adjuvant (Sigma-Alrich; 10 #F5506) using a high-speed homogenizer (IKA T10 basic). Mice were additionally injected intraperitoneally with 200 ng pertussis toxin (List Biological Laboratories; #180235AIA) at 0 and 48 hours post immunization. This immunization induces the activation and expansion of peripheral myelin-specific encephalitogenic T cells and their migration into the CNS. Once in the CNS, the activated T-cells initiate an inflammatory cascade, which ultimately leads to myelin15destruction and symptoms of paralysis. From the day of disease induction (day -12), the mice were monitored every 3 days for clinical signs of EAE disease as follows: 0=no signs of disease; 1=limp tail or hind limb weakness; 2=limp tail and hind limb weakness; 3=partial hind limb paralysis; 4=complete hind limb paralysis; 5=moribund. On day 11, at disease onset, mice were treated orally and daily with vehicle (10% captisol in water) or Compound 1 at 10 mg / kg or 20 Compound 24) at 30, 10, or 1 mg / kg (VAV1 MGDs resuspended in 10% captisol in water) from day 12 to day 24 and monitored every 3 days for clinical signs of EAE disease as described above. VAV1 MGDs were formulated fresh the day of administration by dissolving the VAV1 MGDs in 10% captisol in water then vortexed until a clear solution or a uniform suspension was obtained. At the end of the study (Day 17 post-immunization), mice were euthanized then25peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMC) were enriched from cardiac puncture samples and brain tissue was excised then snap frozen for subsequent assessment of VAV1 levels by western blot.

For western blotting, protein samples were defrosted and 15 μL of each sample was loaded 10 in 4-12% Bis-Tris gels (Invitrogen; #WG1402BOX). Electrophoresis was then run in MES running buffer (Invitrogen; #NP0002) at 80 V for 30 mins then 120 V for 90 mins. Proteins were transferred to a nitrocellulose membrane with an iBlot 2 Gel Transfer Device (Invitrogen) using P3 for 7 mins. After transfer, membranes were washed (10 mL 1X TBST, 5 mins, 3 times), blocked (TBS Blocking Buffer (LI-COR;#927-60001), 1 h with agitation, room temperature),15and washed again (1X TBST (Bio-Serve; #BS-P-15), 10 mins, 3 times).

Membranes were then washed (10 mL 1X TBST, 10 mins, 3 times) and then incubated with secondary detection goat anti-mouse IgG-20 IRDye 860RD (LI-COR; #926-68070) and goat anti-rabbit IgG-IRDye 800CW (LI-COR; #926- 32211) antibodies (both 1:10000 in TBD Blocking Buffer containing 0.1% Tween-20 for 1h at room temperature with gentle agitation, protected from light). Membranes were then washed (10 mL 1X TBST, 5 mins, 5 times) and protein levels were detected by fluorescence signal using an Odessey CLx Imaging System (LI-COR). VAV1 protein levels were quantified by fluorescence25intensity relative to β-actin and normalized to the vehicle treatment group. The results of this study are shown in FIGS.10A, 10B, and 10C. These data show that both Compound 1 and Compound 24 inhibit disease progression in a mouse model of EAE, with dose-dependent activity observed with Compound 24 (FIG.10A), consistent with degradation observed in PBMCs. Both Compound 1 and Compound 24 degrade 30 VAV1 in peripheral PBMCs, with dose-dependent activity observed with Compound 24 (FIG. 10B), but not within brain tissue (FIG.10C) due peripheral-restriction of these compounds. Therefore, degradation of VAV1 in peripheral PBMCs is sufficient to inhibit disease progression of a T cell-mediated EAE model. 122
