Description
[0001] CDK2 INHIBITOR FOR THE TREATMENT OF
[0002] KRAS MUTANT CANCER
[0003] CROSS-REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATIONS
[0004] This application claims the benefit of U.S. Provisional Application 63 / 696,230 filed on September 18, 2024. The entirety of this application is hereby incorporated by reference for all purposes.
[0005] FIELD OF THE INVENTION
[0006] The invention provides improved combinations, compositions and methods for the use of the selective CDK2 inhibitor INX-315, to treat a patient with a KRAS mutant cancer, typically a human, in need thereof, as described in more detail below.
[0007] BACKGROUND
[0008] Cancer remains among the most lethal threats to human health. In the United States alone, in 2024, there were over 2 million new cancer diagnoses, and over 600,000 deaths. It is the second leading cause of death in the U.S.
[0009] The Kirsten rat sarcoma protein (KRAS) is part of the RAS / MAPK pathway. KRAS is involved with normal cell growth division and proliferation. KRAS mutations are the most common oncogene found in human cancers and are associated with poor outcomes. Hood, et al., “The Frequency of Ras Mutations in Cancer”, Cancer Research (2020) 80(14) 2969-2974.
[0010] The therapeutic development of effective therapies in KRAS mutant cancer has been a long and challenging pursuit for researchers, even earning KRAS the nickname, “the undruggable gene” (Parikh, K. et al. Drugging KRAS: current perspectives and state-of-art review. J Hematol Oncol. 15: 152(2022)). Several KRAS targeting agents have been developed and approved by the United States Food and Drug Administration (FDA), although for various specific subsets of KRAS mutant patients (Huang, L. et al. KRAS mutation: from undruggable to druggable in cancer. Sig Transduct Target Ther. 6(l):386(2021 Nov 15)). For example, the KRAS G12C irreversible inhibitors Sotorasib (Lumakras®) and adagrasib (Krazati®) are indicated for locally advanced or metastatic non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). These inhibitors covalently bind the mutant Cys-12 residue which locks the protein into an inactive state to prevent downstream signaling. Because these inhibitors target the mutant KRAS G12C form, the wild-type KRAS protein is expected to be unaffected (Lumakras® Package Insert (2022 Dec); Krazati® Package Insert (2021 May)). However, these drugs are only effective on KRAS G12C mutated cancer.
[0011] Given the outsized role of mutated KRAS in human cancer, there remains an unmet medical need for new compositions and therapeutic regimens to treat abnormal cellular proliferation such as cancer that is driven by a mutant form of KRAS in a host such as a human in need thereof.
[0012] Therefore, it is an object of the present invention to provide new compositions and methods for treating cancer that has a mutant form of KRAS in a host such as a human.
[0013] SUMMARY
[0014] The present invention provides advantageous combinations, compositions and methods for treating a cancer with a KRAS mutation based on the surprising discovery that the CDK2 inhibitor INX-315, which has the chemical structure: or its pharmaceutically acceptable salt may provide at least one of the following unexpected treatment benefits: i) INX-315 can be administered to treat a host, for example a human, to treat a mutant KRAS cancer when used in combination with a CDK4 / 6 inhibitor; ii) INX-315, when administered to treat a host, for example, a human, with a mutant KRAS cancer, delays the development of resistance of the mutant KRAS cancer to a RAS inhibitor; iii) INX-315, when administered to treat a host, for example a human, with a mutant KRAS cancer that has decreased sensitivity to a RAS inhibitor, resensitizes the cancer to a RAS inhibitor; iv) INX-315, can be effectively administered to treat a host such as a human with a mutant KRAS cancer that has a p53 loss of function; which also allows p53 to be used as a biomarker for efficacy; and / or v) INX-315 can be advantageously administered to a host, such as a human, in need thereof in combination or alternation with a CDK1 inhibitor for the treatment of a cyclin El (CCNE1) amplified cancer.
[0015] In certain embodiments, the KRAS mutation is selected from KRAS G12C, KRAS G12D, KRAS G12S, KRAS G12V, KRAS G13D, and KRAS Q61H.
[0016] INX-315 has been disclosed in WO 2021 / 236650, published November 25, 2021, and U.S. Patent No. 11,643,416 as well as WO 2023 / 249974, published December 28, 2023. See also Dietrich, et al., “INX-315, a Selective CDK2 Inhibitor, Induces Cell Cycle Arrest and Senescence in Solid Tumors”, Cancer Discovery March 2024.
[0017] The specific combination of INX-315 with a CDK4 / 6 inhibitor as described herein provides significant advantageous or synergistic inhibition of KRAS mutant cancer growth and viability, which increases therapeutic effectiveness. Separately, improved compositions and methods for delaying acquired resistance to RAS inhibitors were unexpectedly discovered as described herein, comprising administering the CDK2 inhibitor INX-315, or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof, in combination or alternation with a RAS inhibitor to a patient in need thereof. By incorporating the CDK2 inhibitor INX-315 into combination therapies as described herein, the select combinations provide efficacious anti-cancer treatments of KRAS mutant cancers and are capable of long-term administration.
[0018] In a first aspect of this invention, advantageous combinations, compositions and methods for treating a patient having a KRAS mutant cancer are provided, comprising administering to the patient an effective amount of CDK2 inhibitor compound INX-315, or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof, in combination or alternation with an effective amount of a cyclin dependent kinase 4 / 6 (CDK4 / 6) inhibitor, or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof. Unexpectedly, the CDK2 inhibitor compound significantly, and perhaps synergistically, improved the response of CDK4 / 6 inhibitor in a variety of KRAS mutant cancers (see, e.g., Examples 1-2, FIGs. 1, 2A-2B, 3A-3B, 4). It was also surprisingly discovered herein that INX-315 improves the response of a CDK4 / 6 inhibitor (e.g., palbociclib) in a dose-dependent manner in different models of KRAS mutant cancer (see, e.g., Example 3, FIG. 5A-5C).
[0019] It was also unexpectedly discovered that the CDK2 inhibitor compound INX-315 can sensitize KRAS mutant cancers to CDK4 / 6 inhibitor treatment. For example, and as described in Example 4 herein, the addition of the CDK2 inhibitor compound INX-315 provoked the sensitization of KRAS mutant cell lines to CDK4 / 6 inhibitor therapy where there previously was no substantial response (see, e.g., FIG. 6A). Surprisingly, the improvement in CDK4 / 6 inhibitor therapy response mediated by INX-315 is not dictated by cancer cell origin (see, e.g., FIG. 6C). Moreover, it was discovered that the combination of INX-315 and a CDK4 / 6 inhibitor (palbociclib) substantially reduces cell colony outgrowth greater than other treatments in different KRAS mutant cells, with effects comparable to that of INX-315 in combination with a RAS inhibitor and exceeding the effect of RAS inhibitor alone (see, e.g., Example 6, FIG. 8A-8C). In some nonlimiting examples, the combination of INX-315 and a CDK4 / 6 inhibitor completely eliminated pancreatic cancer model MIA PaCa2 cell colonies which carry a mutation encoding a KRAS G12C substitution (see, e.g., Example 6, FIG. 8C). This discovery is a significant advance in the art of cancer therapy by providing a CDK2 inhibitor that can provoke responses in a KRAS mutant cancer to CDK4 / 6 inhibitor therapies.
[0020] The CDK2 inhibitor compound INX-315 can be used, for example, in conjunction with a CDK4 / 6 inhibitor to treat KRAS mutant cancer including but not limited to ribociclib (Novartis), abemaciclib (Eli Lilly), palbociclib (Pfizer Inc.), or lerociclib (G1 Therapeutics, Inc.; licensed to Pepper Bio, Inc.). In some embodiments, INX-315 is administered on a daily basis, and the CDK4 / 6 inhibitor is typically administered for 21 days during a 28-day cycle with a 7-day drug holiday (if ribociclib, abemaciclib or palbociclib) or with a holiday or daily (if lerociclib). In a nonlimiting embodiment, INX-315 and lerociclib can be administered on a daily, consistent basis to treat a KRAS mutant cancer.
[0021] In a second aspect, improved compositions and methods have been surprisingly discovered that include the use of an effective amount of INX-315, or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof, in combination or alternation with an effective amount of a RAS inhibitor, or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof, in a manner that is effective in delaying acquired resistance to RAS inhibitors in KRAS mutant cancer. It is known that tumors that are treated with RAS inhibitors develop bypass inhibitory mechanisms. However, it is now discovered that INX- 315 is able to delay the development of acquired resistance to a RAS inhibitor. For example, and as described in Example 6, the combination of INX-315 and RAS inhibitor substantially reduced cell colony outgrowth compared to the RAS inhibitor treatment alone (see, e.g., FIG. 8A-8C). In some cases, the combination of INX-315 and RAS inhibitor eliminated cell colonies altogether (see, e.g., FIG. 8C). As shown in Example 6, the combination of INX-315 and a RAS inhibitor exhibits dramatically improved cell sensitivity compared to single RAS inhibitor treatment alone, which indicates INX-315 combination treatments delay the acquisition of RAS inhibitor resistance in KRAS mutant cell lines. Similarly, the combination of INX-315 and a CDK4 / 6 inhibitor prevent colony outgrowth at levels exceeding RAS inhibitor treatment alone, further validating the efficacy of the CDK2 inhibitor and CDK4 / 6 inhibitor combination treatments in KRAS mutant cancer. Also reported herein is the surprising discovery that the administration of the CDK2 inhibitor compound INX-315 is able to induce necrosis in KRAS mutant cancer model cells (see, e.g., Example 7, FIG. 9A-9B).
[0022] In certain embodiments, INX-315 of the present invention is used to treat a patient, typically a human, to delay acquired resistance to a KRAS inhibitor selected from Sotorasib (AMG-510; Lumakras®), adagrasib (MRTX849; Krazati®), 12VC1, ARS-1620, ARS-3248, ARS-853, AZD4785, Bi-2852, BI 1823911, D-1553, GDC-6036, JAB-21822, JDQ443, JNJ- 74699157, KRpep-2d, KS-58, LY3537982, MK-1084, MRTX1133, or SML-8-73-1.
[0023] These unexpected findings indicate that INX-315 significantly improves cell sensitivity to RAS inhibitors and suppresses the development of RAS inhibitor resistance in multiple KRAS mutant cancer cells. While not wishing to be limited to one theory, it may be that cancer cells which harbor KRAS mutations become increasingly reliant on CDK2 as a core mediator of cell cycle progression, especially as a feedback mechanism when the cancer cells are contacted with one or more RAS inhibitors (see, e.g., Example 9, FIGs. 11 A, 12A).
[0024] This discovery provides a significant advance in the art of cancer therapy by providing CDK2 inhibitor combinations that are useful for treating KRAS mutant cancers that are both naive to RAS inhibitor therapy and those that are currently being treated with RAS inhibitors prior to developing acquired resistance to the RAS inhibitor therapy.
[0025] Advantageously, it has also been discovered that the CDK2 inhibitor compound is efficacious in a variety of KRAS mutant cells (see, e.g., Table 2). For example, INX-315 combination treatments exhibited efficacy in a variety of cell lines of cancers such as colorectal cancer, lung cancer, pancreatic cancer, and stomach cancer, having KRAS mutations including, but not limited to, KRAS G12C, KRAS G12D, KRAS G12S, KRAS G12V, KRAS G13D, and KRAS Q61H, and in some cases further comprising cyclin El (CCNE1) amplification, cyclin- dependent kinase inhibitor 2A (CDKN2A) deletion, or p53 mutation or p53 deletion mutations (see, e.g., Examples 1-6).
[0026] In certain embodiments, the invention includes the use of the CDK2 inhibitor compound INX-315 of the present invention in combination with a KRAS inhibitor selected from AMG-510 (sotorasib), MRTX-849 (adagrasib), MRTX1133, MRTX-EX185, ARS-3248 (JNJ-74699157), ARS-853, ARS-1620, GDC-6036, RG6330, D-1553, BPI-421286, GH35, BEBT-607, LY3499446, MK-1084, BI-1701963, BI-2865, BI-2493, LY3537982, GDC-6036 (divarasib), D- 1553 (garsorasib), HBI-2438, JDQ443 (opnurasib), JAB-21822, JAB-21000, HS-10370 IBI-351 (GFH925) BI-1823911, AZD4625, AZD4747, FMC-376, LY3537982 (Olomorasib), garsorasib, Opnurasib, D3S-001, BBO-8956, Fulzerasib (IBI531), ERAS-3490, JDQ443, ELI-002, DCC- 3116, BDTX-4933, RMC-4630, RM-018, RMC-6291, RMC-6236, BI-2852, BI-2493, YL- 15293, GEC255, SY-5933, BBO-8520, RMC-9805, ASP3082, HRS-4642, INCB161731, QTX3046, JAB-22000, VRTX153, ERAS-4, LY3962673, RMC-5127, RMC-0708, RMC-8839, BI3706674, QTX3034, QTX3544, JAB-23425, LY406634, VRTX180, ACB13, or BI-2865, or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof, in an effective amount to delay acquired resistance to a RAS inhibitor in a patient having KRAS mutant cancer.
[0027] In another aspect, provided herein is a method to delay acquired resistance in a patient with a KRAS mutant cancer is provided that includes administering an effective amount of the pharmaceutical combination as described herein, to the patient, typically a human.
[0028] In a third aspect, it was surprisingly discovered that INX-315, when administered in an effective amount to treat a host having a KRAS mutant cancer, for example a human, resensitizes the KRAS mutant cancer to a RAS inhibitor, wherein the KRAS mutant cancer had previously demonstrated decreased sensitivity to a RAS inhibitor. As described in Example 6 herein, the combination ofINX-315 and RAS inhibitor substantially reduced cell colony outgrowth compared to RAS inhibitor treatment alone (see, e.g., FIG. 8A-8B) and, in some cases, eliminated cell colonies altogether (see, e.g., FIG. 8C). These findings demonstrate that the CDK2 inhibitor INX- 315 significantly improved cell sensitivity to RAS inhibitor treatment and indicates that INX-315 sensitizes KRAS mutant cell lines to RAS inhibitor treatments.
[0029] In certain embodiments, therefore, INX-315 is used in an effective amount to treat a patient having decreased sensitivity to a KRAS inhibitor selected from Sotorasib (AMG-510; Lumakras®), adagrasib (MRTX849; Krazati®), 12VC1, ARS-1620, ARS-3248, ARS-853, AZD4785, Bi-2852, BI 1823911, D-1553, GDC-6036, JAB-21822, JDQ443, JNJ-74699157, KRpep-2d, KS-58, LY3537982, MK-1084, MRTX1133, or SML-8-73-1.
[0030] This discovery provides a significant advance in the art of cancer therapy by providing the CDK2 inhibitor INX-315 in an effective amount that is useful for resensitizing KRAS mutant cancer that have demonstrated decreased sensitivity to prior or ongoing RAS inhibitor therapy.
[0031] Surprisingly, in certain embodiments, the CDK2 inhibitor compound INX-315 of the present invention can resensitize a KRAS mutant cancer which has demonstrated decreased sensitivity to a KRAS inhibitor selected from AMG-510 (sotorasib), MRTX-849 (adagrasib), MRTX1133, MRTX-EX185, ARS-3248 (JNJ-74699157), ARS-853, ARS-1620, GDC-6036, RG6330, D-1553, BPI-421286, GH35, BEBT-607, LY3499446, MK-1084, BI-1701963, BI-2865, BI-2493, LY3537982, GDC-6036 (divarasib), D-1553 (garsorasib), HBI-2438, JDQ443 (opnurasib), JAB-21822, JAB-21000, HS-10370 IBI-351 (GFH925) BI-1823911, AZD4625, AZD4747, FMC-376, LY3537982 (Olomorasib), garsorasib, Opnurasib, D3S-001, BBO-8956, Fulzerasib (IBI531), ERAS-3490, JDQ443, ELI-002, DCC-3116, BDTX-4933, RMC-4630, RM- 018, RMC-6291, RMC-6236, BI-2852, BI-2493, YL-15293, GEC255, SY-5933, BBO-8520, RMC-9805, ASP3082, HRS-4642, INCB161731, QTX3046, JAB-22000, VRTX153, ERAS-4, LY3962673, RMC-5127, RMC-0708, RMC-8839, BI3706674, QTX3034, QTX3544, JAB-23425, LY406634, VRTX180, ACB13, or BI-2865, or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof. In an alternative aspect, provided herein is a method to resensitize a patient with a KRAS mutant cancer that includes administering an effective amount of the pharmaceutical combination with an effective amount of INX-315 as described herein, to the patient, typically a human. In a fourth aspect, it was also discovered that compositions and methods as described herein that includes the administration of an effective amount of the CDK2 inhibitor compound INX-315 demonstrate improved efficacy in cancers having loss of function of p53. This allows p53 to be used as an exemplary biomarker for patient selection. For example, and as described in Example 5 herein, cancers having p53 loss of function exhibit a trend toward an improved response to CDK2 inhibitor compound INX-315 in combination with a RAS inhibitor. This finding indicates that the selection of a KRAS mutant cancer on the basis of the status of loss of function of p53, can predict significantly improved outcomes in response to treatments comprising INX-315.
[0032] Therefore, provided herein is a composition or a method for treating a patient having a KRAS mutant cancer, comprising: i) obtaining a tumor sample from the patient; ii) detecting whether p53 has a loss of function mutation in the sample compared with a control sample that has intact p53; iii) if the sample has p53 loss of function, then administering to the patient an effective amount of CDK2 inhibitor compound INX-315, or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof. In some embodiments, the composition or method further comprises administering an effective amount of a RAS inhibitor. In some embodiments, the RAS inhibitor is a KRAS inhibitor.
[0033] The CDK2 inhibitor compound INX-315 of the present invention, or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof, in combination with either a CDK4 / 6 inhibitor or a KRAS inhibitor may be used to treat a KRAS mutant disorder such as adenocarcinoma, cholangiocarcinoma, colon cancer, colonic adenocarcinoma, colorectal adenocarcinoma, colorectal cancer, esophageal carcinoma, gastric adenocarcinoma, gastric cancer, high-grade serous carcinoma (HGSC), lung cancer, lung adenocarcinoma (LUAD), non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), ovarian cancer, pancreatic adenocarcinoma, pancreatic cancer, pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC), squamous cell carcinoma, or stomach cancer.
[0034] In certain non-limiting embodiments, the KRAS mutant cancer comprises a missense mutation which encodes a substitution at a codon selected from glycine- 12 (G12), glycine- 13 (G13), glutamine 61 (Q61), or any combination thereof.

[0080] DETAILED DESCRIPTION
[0081] Terminology
[0082] Unless defined otherwise, all technical and scientific terms used herein have the same meaning as is commonly understood by one of skill in the art to which this invention pertains. Although methods and materials similar or equivalent to those described herein can be used to practice the invention, suitable methods and materials are described below. All publications, patent applications, patents, and other references mentioned herein are incorporated by reference in their entirety. In case of conflict, the present specification, including definitions, will control. In addition, the materials, methods, and examples are illustrative only and not intended to be limiting.
[0083] The terms “a” and “an” do not denote a limitation of quantity, but rather denote the presence of at least one of the referenced item. The term “or” means “and / or”. Recitation of ranges of values are merely intended to serve as a shorthand method of referring individually to each separate value falling within the range, unless otherwise indicated herein, and each separate value is incorporated into the specification as if it were individually recited herein. The endpoints of all ranges are included within the range and independently combinable. All methods described herein can be performed in a suitable order unless otherwise indicated herein or otherwise clearly contradicted by context. The use of examples, or exemplary language (e.g., “such as”), is intended merely to better illustrate the invention and does not pose a limitation on the scope of the invention unless otherwise claimed. Unless defined otherwise, technical and scientific terms used herein have the same meaning as is commonly understood by one of skill in the art to which this invention belongs.
[0084] In some embodiments, the term “about” means ± 10%.
[0085] The term “mutation” as used herein refers to any modification of a nucleic acid which results in an altered or modified nucleic acid. The term “mutation” can include, for example, point mutations, deletions, insertions, or amplifications of single or multiple residues in a polynucleotide. In some embodiments, the mutation includes modifications of a protein coding sequence of a gene but can also include modifications in regions outside of the protein coding sequence, for example promoter sequences.
[0086] “Acquired resistance,” as used herein, refers to a condition wherein a cancer that was or is initially sensitive to the inhibitory effects of an anti -cancer therapy becomes non-responsive or less-responsive over time to the effects of the administration of that therapy. In some embodiments of the methods described herein, the cancer to be treated has acquired resistance to a selective CDK4 / 6 inhibitor. Without wishing to be bound by any one theory, it is believed that acquired resistance to RAS inhibitors occurs due to one or more additional mutations or genetic alterations in bypass signaling that develops after the onset of a RAS inhibitor treatment regimen. For example, non-limiting exemplary causes of acquired resistance to RAS inhibitors may be a result of the development of one or more genetic aberrations associated with “intrinsic resistance”. In addition, other non-limiting exemplary causes of acquired resistance to RAS inhibitors may include ERK-mediated feedback inhibition, development of secondary KRAS mutations, reactivation of KRAS through activation of receptor tyrosine kinases (RTKs), PI3K activation by the IGFR-IRS1 pathway, ErbB signaling activation, as well as simultaneously converging resistance mechanisms; or a combination thereof. A general review of RAS-resistance mechanisms can be found, for example, in Dunnett-Kane, V. et al. Mechanisms of Resistance to KRASG12C Inhibitors. Cancers (Basel). 13(1 ): 151 (2021 Jan 5), incorporated herein by reference. In some embodiments, a tumor or cancer that has acquired resistance to RAS inhibition is a tumor or cancer whose cell population, as a whole, no longer exhibits substantial binding of the GDP- bound KRAS protein therein to a RAS inhibitor, resulting in disease progression. In some embodiments, the cancer has progressed following a prior therapeutic regimen comprising the administration of a RAS inhibitor. In some alternative embodiments of the methods of treatment described herein, the cancer treated has acquired resistance, for example to an CDK4 / 6 inhibitor therapy such as but not limited to, palbociclib, riboci clib, or abemaciclib. In some alternative embodiments of the methods of treatment described herein, the cancer treated has acquired resistance to an additional anti-cancer therapy.
[0087] The “patient” or “patient” or “participant” treated is typically a human patient, unless otherwise indicated. In alternative embodiments, the methods described herein can be used to treat or in testing of other animals that respond similarly, such as mammals, for example, such as those used in preclinical testing including but not limited to mice, rats, monkeys, dogs, pigs, and rabbits; as well as domesticated swine (pigs and hogs), ruminants, equine, poultry, felines, bovines, murines, canines, and the like.

[0201] Additionally, auxiliary substances, such as wetting or emulsifying agents, biological buffering substances, surfactants, and the like, can be present in such vehicles. A biological buffer can be any solution which is pharmacologically acceptable and which provides the formulation with the desired pH, i.e., a pH in the physiologically acceptable range. Examples of buffer solutions include saline, phosphate buffered saline, Tris buffered saline, Hank’s buffered saline, and the like.
[0202] Depending on the intended mode of administration, the pharmaceutical combinations can be in the form of solid, semi-solid or liquid dosage forms, such as, for example, tablets, suppositories, pills, capsules, powders, liquids, suspensions, creams, ointments, lotions or the like, preferably in unit dosage form suitable for single administration of a precise dosage. The compositions will include an effective amount of INX-315 in combination with a pharmaceutically acceptable carrier and, in addition, can include other pharmaceutical agents, adjuvants, diluents, buffers, and the like.
[0203] Thus, the compositions of the disclosure can be administered as pharmaceutical formulations including those suitable for oral (including buccal and sub-lingual), rectal, nasal, topical, pulmonary, vaginal or parenteral (including intramuscular, intrathecal, and subcutaneous) administration or in a form suitable for administration by inhalation or insufflation. The preferred manner of administration is oral using a convenient daily dosage regimen which can be adjusted according to the degree of affliction.
[0204] For solid compositions, conventional nontoxic solid carriers include, for example, pharmaceutical grades of mannitol, lactose, starch, magnesium stearate, sodium saccharin, talc, cellulose, glucose, sucrose, magnesium carbonate, and the like. Liquid pharmaceutically administrable compositions can, for example, be prepared by dissolving, dispersing, and the like, INX-315 or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof and optional pharmaceutical adjuvants in an excipient, such as, for example, water, saline, aqueous dextrose, glycerol, ethanol, and the like, to thereby form a solution or suspension. If desired, the pharmaceutical combination to be administered can also contain minor amounts of nontoxic auxiliary substances such as wetting or emulsifying agents, pH buffering agents and the like, for example, sodium acetate, sorbitan monolaurate, triethanolamine sodium acetate, triethanolamine oleate, and the like. Actual methods of preparing such dosage forms are known, or can be apparent, to those skilled in this art; for example, see Remington ’s Pharmaceutical Sciences, 23rd Edition, A. Adejare, Editor, Academic Press (2020); Handbook of Pharmaceutical Excipients, 6th Edition, R. C. Rowe, P. J. Sheskey, M. E. Quinn Editors, American Pharmaceutical Association, and Pharmaceutical Press (2009); and Handbook of Pharmaceutical Additives, 3rd Edition, compiled by Michael and Irene Ash, Synapse Information Resources (2007).
[0205] In yet another embodiment is the use of permeation enhancer excipients including polymers such as: polycations (chitosan and its quaternary ammonium derivatives, poly-L- arginine, aminated gelatin); polyanions (N-carboxymethyl chitosan, poly-acrylic acid); and, thiolated polymers (carboxymethyl cellulose-cysteine, polycarbophil-cysteine, chitosanthiobutylamidine, chitosan-thioglycolic acid, chitosan-glutathione conjugates).
[0206] For oral administration, the composition will generally take the form of a tablet, capsule, a softgel capsule or can be an aqueous or nonaqueous solution, suspension or syrup. Tablets and capsules are preferred oral administration forms. Tablets and capsules for oral use can include one or more commonly used carriers such as lactose and corn starch. Lubricating agents, such as magnesium stearate, are also typically added. Typically, the compositions of the disclosure can be combined with an oral, non-toxic, pharmaceutically acceptable, inert carrier such as lactose, starch, sucrose, glucose, methyl cellulose, magnesium stearate, dicalcium phosphate, calcium sulfate, mannitol, sorbitol and the like. Moreover, when desired or necessary, suitable binders, lubricants, disintegrating agents, and coloring agents can also be incorporated into the mixture. Suitable binders include starch, gelatin, natural sugars such as glucose or beta-lactose, corn sweeteners, natural and synthetic gums such as acacia, tragacanth, or sodium alginate, carboxymethylcellulose, polyethylene glycol, waxes, and the like. Lubricants used in these dosage forms include sodium oleate, sodium stearate, magnesium stearate, sodium benzoate, sodium acetate, sodium chloride, and the like. Disintegrators include, without limitation, starch, methyl cellulose, agar, bentonite, xanthan gum, and the like. When liquid suspensions are used, the INX-315 can be combined with any oral, non-toxic, pharmaceutically acceptable inert carrier such as ethanol, glycerol, water, and the like and with emulsifying and suspending agents. If desired, flavoring, coloring and / or sweetening agents can be added as well. Other optional components for incorporation into an oral formulation herein include, but are not limited to, preservatives, suspending agents, thickening agents, and the like.
[0207] Parenteral formulations can be prepared in conventional forms, either as liquid solutions or suspensions, solid forms suitable for solubilization or suspension in liquid prior to injection, or as emulsions. Preferably, sterile injectable suspensions are formulated according to techniques known in the art using suitable carriers, dispersing or wetting agents and suspending agents. The sterile injectable formulation can also be a sterile injectable solution or a suspension in a nontoxic parenterally acceptable diluent or solvent. Among the acceptable vehicles and solvents that can be employed are water, Ringer’s solution and isotonic sodium chloride solution. In addition, sterile, fixed oils, fatty esters or polyols are conventionally employed as solvents or suspending media. In addition, parenteral administration can involve the use of a slow release or sustained release system such that a constant level of dosage is maintained. Parenteral administration includes intraarticular, intramuscular, intradermal, intraperitoneal, and subcutaneous routes. Administration via certain parenteral routes can involve introducing the formulations of the disclosure into the body of a patient through a needle or a catheter, propelled by a sterile syringe or some other mechanical device such as a continuous infusion system. A formulation provided by the disclosure can be administered using a syringe, injector, pump, or any other device recognized in the art for parenteral administration.
[0208] In addition to INX-315 or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof, the pharmaceutical formulations can contain other additives, such as pH-adjusting additives. In particular, useful pH- adjusting agents include acids, such as hydrochloric acid, bases or buffers, such as sodium lactate, sodium acetate, sodium phosphate, sodium citrate, sodium borate, or sodium gluconate. Further, the formulations can contain antimicrobial preservatives. Useful antimicrobial preservatives include methylparaben, propylparaben, and benzyl alcohol. An antimicrobial preservative is typically employed when the formulations is placed in a vial designed for multi-dose use. The pharmaceutical formulations described herein can be lyophilized using techniques well known in the art. In some embodiments, INX-315 or its pharmaceutically acceptable salt can be provided in the form of a lyophilizate, which is capable of being reconstituted with a suitable pharmaceutically acceptable carrier to form liquid formulation suitable for injection thereof into a host. When INX- 315 or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof is substantially water-insoluble, a sufficient amount of emulsifying agent, which is physiologically acceptable, can be employed in sufficient quantity to emulsify INX-315 or the pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof in an aqueous carrier. Particularly useful emulsifying agents include phosphatidyl cholines and lecithin.
[0209] Pharmaceutical formulations also are provided which provide a controlled release of INX- 315 or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof described herein, including through the use of a degradable polymer, as known in the art.
[0210] The term "pharmaceutically acceptable salts" as used herein refers to those salts which are, within the scope of sound medical judgment, suitable for use in contact with hosts (e g., human hosts) without undue toxicity, irritation, allergic response, and the like, commensurate with a reasonable benefit / risk ratio, and effective for their intended use, as well as the zwitterionic forms, where possible, of INX-315 as described herein.
[0211] Thus, the term "salts" refers to the relatively non -toxic, inorganic and organic acid addition salt of INX-315. These salts can be prepared during the final isolation and purification of the compound or by separately reacting the purified INX-315 in its free base form with a suitable organic or inorganic acid and isolating the salt thus formed. Basic compounds are capable of forming a wide variety of different salts with various inorganic and organic acids. Acid addition salts of the basic compounds are prepared by contacting the free base form with a sufficient amount of the desired acid to produce the salt in the conventional manner. The free base form can be regenerated by contacting the salt form with a base and isolating the free base in the conventional manner. The free base forms may differ from their respective salt forms in certain physical properties such as solubility in polar solvents.
[0212] Salts can be prepared from inorganic acids include hydrochloric, sulfate, pyrosulfate, bisulfate, sulfite, bisulfite, nitrate, phosphate, monohydrogenphosphate, dihydrogenphosphate, metaphosphate, pyrophosphate, chloride, bromide, iodide such as hydrochloric, nitric, phosphoric, sulfuric, hydrobromic, hydriodic, phosphorus, and the like. Representative salts include the hydrobromide, hydrochloride, sulfate, hemisulfate, bisulfate, nitrate, acetate, oxalate, valerate, oleate, palmitate, stearate, laurate, borate, benzoate, lactate, phosphate, tosylate, citrate, maleate, fumarate, succinate, tartrate, naphthylate mesylate, glucoheptonate, lactobionate, laurylsulphonate and isethionate salts, and the like. Salts can also be prepared from organic acids, such as aliphatic mono- and dicarboxylic acids, phenyl -substituted alkanoic acids, hydroxy alkanoic acids, alkanedioic acids, aromatic acids, aliphatic and aromatic sulfonic acids, etc. and the like. Representative salts include acetate, propionate, caprylate, isobutyrate, oxalate, malonate, succinate, suberate, sebacate, fumarate, maleate, mandelate, benzoate, chlorobenzoate, methylbenzoate, dinitrobenzoate, phthalate, benzenesulfonate, toluenesulfonate, phenylacetate, citrate, lactate, maleate, tartrate, methanesulfonate, and the like. Pharmaceutically acceptable salts can include cations based on the alkali and alkaline earth metals, such as sodium, lithium, potassium, calcium, magnesium and the like, as well as non-toxic ammonium, quaternary ammonium, and amine cations including, but not limited to, ammonium, tetramethylammonium, tetraethyl ammonium, methylamine, dimethylamine, trimethylamine, triethylamine, ethylamine, and the like. Also contemplated are the salts of amino acids such as arginate, gluconate, galacturonate, and the like. See, for example, Berge et al., J. Pharm. Sci., 1977, 66, 1-19, which is incorporated herein by reference.
[0213] Pharmaceutically acceptable base addition salts may be formed with metals or amines, such as alkali and alkaline earth metal hydroxides, or of organic amines. Examples of metals used as cations, include, but are not limited to, sodium, potassium, magnesium, calcium, and the like. Examples of suitable amines include, but are not limited to, N,N'-dibenzylethylenediamine, chloroprocaine, choline, diethanolamine, ethylenediamine, N-methylglucamine, and procaine. The base addition salts of acidic compounds are prepared by contacting the free acid form with a sufficient amount of the desired base to produce the salt in the conventional manner. The free acid form can be regenerated by contacting the salt form with an acid and isolating the free acid in a conventional manner. The free acid forms may differ from their respective salt forms somewhat in certain physical properties such as solubility in polar solvents.
[0214] Preferably, sterile injectable suspensions are formulated according to techniques known in the art using suitable carriers, dispersing or wetting agents and suspending agents. The sterile injectable formulation can also be a sterile injectable solution or a suspension in a nontoxic parenterally acceptable diluent or solvent. Among the acceptable vehicles and solvents that can be employed are water, Ringer’s solution and isotonic sodium chloride solution. In addition, sterile, fixed oils, fatty esters or polyols are conventionally employed as solvents or suspending media. In addition, parenteral administration can involve the use of a slow release or sustained release system such that a constant level of dosage is maintained.
[0215] Preparations according to the disclosure for parenteral administration include sterile aqueous or non-aqueous solutions, suspensions, or emulsions. Examples of non-aqueous solvents or vehicles are propylene glycol, polyethylene glycol, vegetable oils, such as olive oil and corn oil, gelatin, and injectable organic esters such as ethyl oleate. Such dosage forms can also contain adjuvants such as preserving, wetting, emulsifying, and dispersing agents. They can be sterilized by, for example, filtration through a bacteria retaining filter, by incorporating sterilizing agents into the compositions, by irradiating the compositions, or by heating the compositions. They can also be manufactured using sterile water, or some other sterile injectable medium, immediately before use.
[0216] Sterile injectable solutions are prepared by incorporating INX-315 of the disclosure in the required amount in the appropriate solvent with various of the other ingredients enumerated above, as required, followed by filtered sterilization. Generally, dispersions are prepared by incorporating the various sterilized active ingredients into a sterile vehicle which contains the basic dispersion medium and the required other ingredients from those enumerated above. In the case of sterile powders for the preparation of sterile injectable solutions, the preferred methods of preparation are vacuum-drying and freeze-drying techniques which yield a powder of the active ingredient plus any additional desired ingredient from a previously sterile-filtered solution thereof. Thus, for example, a parenteral composition suitable for administration by injection is prepared by stirring 1.5% by weight of active ingredient in 10% by volume propylene glycol and water. The solution is made isotonic with sodium chloride and sterilized.
[0217] Formulations suitable for rectal administration are typically presented as unit dose suppositories. These may be prepared by admixing INX-315 or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof with one or more conventional solid carriers, for example, cocoa butter, and then shaping the resulting mixture.
[0218] Formulations suitable for topical application to the skin preferably take the form of an ointment, cream, lotion, paste, gel, spray, aerosol, or oil. Carriers which may be used include petroleum jelly, lanoline, polyethylene glycols, alcohols, transdermal enhancers, and combinations of two or more thereof.
[0219] Formulations suitable for transdermal administration may be presented as discrete patches adapted to remain in intimate contact with the epidermis of the recipient for a prolonged period of time. Formulations suitable for transdermal administration may also be delivered by iontophoresis (see, for example, Pharmaceutical Research 3 (6):318 (1986)) and typically take the form of an optionally buffered aqueous solution of the active compound. In some embodiments, microneedle patches or devices are provided for delivery of drugs across or into biological tissue, particularly the skin. The microneedle patches or devices permit drug delivery at clinically relevant rates across or into skin or other tissue barriers, with minimal or no damage, pain, or irritation to the tissue.
[0220] Formulations suitable for administration to the lungs can be delivered by a wide range of passive breath driven and active power driven single / -multiple dose dry powder inhalers (DPI). The devices most commonly used for respiratory delivery include nebulizers, metered-dose inhalers, and dry powder inhalers. Several types of nebulizers are available, including jet nebulizers, ultrasonic nebulizers, and vibrating mesh nebulizers. Selection of a suitable lung delivery device depends on parameters, such as nature of the drug and its formulation, the site of action, and pathophysiology of the lung.
[0221] CDK2 in the Cell Cycle
[0222] Cell division is regulated by the cell cycle, which is divided into four phases: G1 phase (cell growth and machinery synthesis), S phase (DNA replication to generate two identical sets of chromosomes), G2 phase (cell growth and supplemental machinery synthesis), and M phase (single cell divides into two identical daughter cells). The progression between cell cycle phases is primarily governed by cyclins and cyclin-dependent kinases (CDKs) (Asghar et al. Nat Rev Drug Discov. 14(2): 130-46(2015)), which are activated or inhibited in response to a complex system of cell signaling networks that interpret extracellular signals.
[0223] Cyclin dependent kinase 2 (CDK2), which is activated following binding with cyclin E, is required to enter S-phase in the cell cycle (Merrick, K.A. et al. Switching Cdk2 on or off with small molecules to reveal requirements in human cell proliferation. Mol Cell. 42:624-636(2011)). The CDK2 / cyclin E protein complex, as well as the CDK4 / 6 / cyclin D protein complex, phosphorylates retinoblastoma (Rb), releasing the G1 transcription factor E2F to promote S-phase completion (Sherr, C.J. Mammalian G1 cyclins. Cell. 73(6): 1059-65(1993 Jun 18); Asghar et al. The history and future of targeting cyclin-dependent kinases in cancer therapy. Nat Rev Drug Discov. 14(2): 130-146(2015). The CDK2 / cyclin E protein complex, in addition to regulating the Gl / S transition, mediates histone biosynthesis and centrosome duplication (Matsumoto, Y.K. et al. CDK2 is required for centrosome duplication in mammalian cells. Curr Biol. 9:429-432(1999); Nelson, D.M. et al. Coupling of DNA synthesis and histone synthesis in S phase independent of cyclin / cdk2 activity. Mol Cell Biol. 22(21):7459-7472(2002 Nov).
[0224] CDK2 -mediated hyperphosphorylation leads to complete inactivation of the Rb protein, which is necessary to promote S-phase completion. Thus, retinoblastoma is considered a key protein in the cell cycle system that includes the CDK2 / cyclin E protein complex. Evidence suggests that CDK2 fundamentally regulates cellular proliferation and CDK4 / 6 inhibitor resistance mechanisms, highlighting the potential for targeting CDK2 in cancer (Tadesse, S. et al. Cyclin- Dependent Kinase 2 Inhibitors in Cancer Therapy: An Update. J Med Chem. 62(9):4233- 4251(2019 May 9)).
[0225] KRAS and KRAS-mutant associated disorders
[0226] The most commonly mutated gene in human cancer is KRAS, with mutant forms present in approximately 25% of all tumors and in over 200,000 new cancer patients per year in the United States. KRAS mutations cause unrestricted activation of the RAF-MEK-ERK and PI3K-AKT pathways.
[0227] The protein KRAS is a membrane-associated GTPase that converts GTP into GDP, acting as a molecular switch to control cellular differentiation, growth, and survival. The KRAS protein is turned on (activated) by binding to GTP to effect cellular signaling. The KRAS protein is turned off (inactivated) when the GTP is converted into GDP. The KRAS protein, when bound to GDP, does not transmit cellular signaling.
[0228] Missense mutations within KRAS and dysregulated KRAS isoform expression are thought to be core drivers of cancer. The codons encoding amino acid positions G12, G13, and Q61 are commonly altered by missense mutation, such that the amino acids at these residues are substituted for different amino acids. KRAS mutations of the G12, G13, and Q61 codons are the dominant mutations in cancer. In addition, alternative splicing of KRAS encodes the highly similar KRAS4A and KRAS4B isoforms. These isoforms function divergently, however, when expressed in different tissue types. Sequence variation between isoforms in the C-terminal hyper-variable regions likely contributes to this functional divergence. For clinical and research purposes, KRAS is commonly referred to as the KRAS4B isoform, which is the gene product most commonly expressed in human cells (Parikh, K. et al. Drugging KRAS: current perspectives and state-of-art review. J Hematol Oncol. 15: 152(2022)).
[0229] An estimated 240,000 new patients per year each harbor a KRAS mutation, with mutant KRAS found in approximately 40% of colorectal cancers, 32% of lung cancers, and at least 90% of cases of pancreatic cancer (see Table 2 below). In fact, KRAS is mutated in approximately 14% of all human cancers (Zehir, A. et al. Mutational landscape of metastatic cancer revealed from prospective clinical sequencing of 10,000 patients. Nat Med. 23(6):703-713(2017 Jun)). Table 1. KRAS mutation incidence in KRAS-associated disorders1. ’Reproduced herein from Parikh, K. et al. Drugging KRAS: current perspectives and state-of-art review. J Hematol Oncol. 15: 152(2022).
[0230] The most frequently altered codon in cancer is KRAS G12, accounting for 80% of all KRAS mutations (Zehir, A. et al. Mutational landscape of metastatic cancer revealed from prospective clinical sequencing of 10,000 patients. Nat Med. 23(6):703-713(2017 Jun)). An estimated 29,200 new patients per year in the United States each harbor a KRAS G12C substitution. The mutation causing KRAS G12C substitution is the most common KRAS mutation found in non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) (Table 1). Of the major clinically-recognized mutations, G12C is currently the only KRAS substitution targeted by FDA-approved drugs (sotorasib (Lumakras®), adagrasib (Krazati®)), indicated for locally advanced or metastatic NSCLC. These FDA-approved KRAS G12C inhibitors are also undergoing clinical studies in numerous countries for the treatment of solid tumors, colon cancer, colorectal cancer, lung cancer, melanoma, and pancreatic cancer.
[0231] An estimated 71 ,200 new patients per year in the United States each harbor a KRAS G12D mutation. The KRAS G12D substitution, for example, is the most common KRAS mutation found in pancreatic adenocarcinoma (Table 1).
[0232] An estimated 55,100 new patients per year in the United States each harbor a KRAS G12V mutation. The KRAS G12V substitution, for example, is the second most common KRAS mutation found in pancreatic adenocarcinoma (Table 1).
[0233] Pancreatic Cancer
[0234] Mutation of the KRAS gene is an integral event in the etiology of pancreatic cancer. For example, KRAS mutation occurs in 90% of all pancreatic adenocarcinoma patients (Zehir, A. et al. Mutational landscape of metastatic cancer revealed from prospective clinical sequencing of 10,000 patients. Nat Med. 23(6):703 -713(2017 Jun)). With a 5-year survival rate of 8%, pancreatic cancer is the deadliest cancer in the United States (Siegel, R.L. et al. Cancer statistics. CA Cancer J Clin. 66:7-30(2016)).
[0235] Pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) is the third leading cause of death among cancer patients in the United States and is one of the major causes of morbidity and mortality worldwide (Siegel, R.L. et al. Cancer statistics. CA Cancer J Clin. 66:7- 30(2016)). Standard of care for PDAC is surgery followed by adjuvant therapy. Only 15-20% of patients, however, eventually are eligible for surgery (Waters, A.M. & Der, C.J. KRAS: The Critical Driver and Therapeutic Target for Pancreatic Cancer. Cold Spring Harb Perspect Med. 8(9):a031435(2018 Sep)). Mutation of KRAS is a hallmark of PDAC, occurring in greater than 90% of all PDAC patients (Id.) (Table 1). The central role of KRAS in PDAC is supported by in vitro PDAC cancer cell models, in which RNA interference (RNAi) knockdown of KRAS demonstrates reduced cellular proliferation and induction of apoptosis (Collisson, E.A. et al. Subtypes of pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma and their differing responses to therapy. Nat Med. 17(4):500-503(2011 Apr)). Furthermore, KRAS deletion in PDAC models using CRISPR / Cas-mediated genome editing significantly reduced in vitro proliferation and in vivo tumorigenic growth, which supports the rationale for targeting KRAS for the treatment of PDAC ((Muzumdar, M.D. et al. Survival of pancreatic cancer cells lacking KRAS function. Nat. Commun. 8(1): 1090(2017)). The development of PDAC is categorized as a step-wise progression which lasts approximately 12 years (lacobuzio-Donahue, C.A. et al. Genetic basis of pancreas cancer development and progression: Insights from whole-exome and whole-genome sequencing. Clin Cancer Res. 18:4257-4265(2012)). PDAC is typically characterized by histologically defined lesions with increasingly disrupted cellular morphology, dysplastic growth, and nuclear atypia (Cox, A.D. & Der, C.J. Ras history: The saga continues. Small GTPases. l(l):2-27(2010 Jul)). An early, initiating event in PDAC etiology is the development of activating KRAS mutations that trigger the transformation of normal pancreatic duct epithelium into pancreatic intraepithelial neoplasms (PanINs). Although relatively infrequent in other forms of cancer, KRAS G12R mutations comprise 16% of all KRAS mutations in PDAC (Waters, A.M. & Der, C.J. KRAS: The Critical Driver and Therapeutic Target for Pancreatic Cancer. Cold Spring Harb Perspect Med. 8(9):a031435(2018 Sep)).
[0236] Colorectal Cancer
[0237] One of the most common cancers worldwide is colorectal cancer (Porru, M. et al. Targeting KRAS in metastatic colorectal cancer: current strategies and emerging opportunities. J Exp Clin Cancer Res. 37(l):57(2018 Mar 13), with most colorectal cancers being adenocarcinomas. KRAS is mutated in between about 27.9% to about 43.7% of all colorectal adenocarcinomas (Table 1). The current standard of care in colorectal cancer is a combination of chemotherapeutic agents, for example the protracted infusion of 5 -fluorouracil (5-FU) modulated by leucovorin in combination with irinotecan (FOLFIRI) or with oxaliplatin (FOLFOX), capecitabine and oxaliplatin combination (XELOX), or 5-FU, leucovorin, irinotecan, and oxaliplatin (FOLFOXIRI) (Id.). Lung Cancer
[0238] The most common form of cancer is lung cancer, which is responsible for the most cancer- related deaths worldwide (Westcott, P.M.K. & To, M.D. The genetics and biology of KRAS in lung cancer. Chin J Cancer. 32(2):63-70(2013 Feb)). The most common risk factor for lung cancer is smoking, with an estimated 80% of all lung cancer patients having previously smoked (Id.). KRAS is more frequently mutated in smokers compared to non-smokers, with the KRAS G12C mutation being the most common KRAS mutation in smokers with lung cancer (44%), followed by the mutation causing G12V substitution (19%) (Parikh, K. et al. Drugging KRAS: current perspectives and state-of-art review. J Hematol Oncol. 15: 152(2022)). In comparison, the KRAS G12D mutation is the most frequent KRAS mutation (56%) in non-smokers with lung cancer (Id.).
[0239] VCIQKRAS gene is mutated in 23% of all NSCLC (Table 1), with the KRAS G12C mutation comprising a 41% majority of all KRAS mutations in this population (Table 1) (Parikh, K. et al. Drugging KRAS: current perspectives and state-of-art review. J Hematol Oncol. 15: 152(2022)). KRAS mutations mostly occur in lung adenocarcinomas, the most common histological subclass of NSCLC. The KRAS G12C mutation is also the major KRAS mutation in lung adenocarcinoma, comprising approximately 43% of all KRAS mutations in this population (Waters, A.M. & Der, C J. KRAS: The Critical Driver and Therapeutic Target for Pancreatic Cancer. Cold Spring Harb Perspect Med. 8(9):a031435(2018 Sep)). In other forms of NSCLC, however, the frequency of KRAS mutation is lower. For example, in squamous cell carcinoma (another subclass of NSCLC), KRAS mutations comprise 5% of all cases (Table 1) (Id.). In some embodiments, the NSCLC comprises lung adenocarcinoma or squamous cell carcinoma.

[0502] The influence of Rb and pl 6 status on the ratio of areas under the curve of the combination of INX-315 and RMC-6236 to RMC-6236 alone was inconclusive (FIG. 7A-7B), while cells with loss of function of p53 more frequently benefit from INX-315 / RMC-6236 combination treatment (FIG. 7C). This suggests that cells which lack functional p53 respond better to an INX-315 and RAS inhibitor combination treatment.
[0503] Example 6. INX-315 Delays Acquired Resistance to RAS inhibitors in KRAS Mutant Cancer Introduction
[0504] The inhibitory effect of CDK2 inhibitor compound INX-315 administered alone or in combination with a KRAS inhibitor (e.g., RMC-6236) or with a CDK4 / 6 inhibitor (e.g., palbociclib) on colony outgrowth was studied in various KRAS mutant cancer model cell lines.
[0505] Methods
[0506] HCT 116 cells were seeded at 2,000 cells / well in 3, 12 well plates (Corning) and grown in McCoy’s 5A with GlutaMAX and 10% fetal bovine serum (FBS). Cells were incubated overnight at 37°C with 5% CO2. Plates were treated as replicates, with column 1 being treated with 0.1% DMSO, column 2 treated with 100 nM palbociclib and 300 nM INX-315. Columns 3 and 4 were treated with 10 nM RMC-6236 but with column 4 additionally being treated with 300 nM INX- 315. Treatments were refreshed every 3-4 days and cell densities monitored. Plates were collected and stained using crystal violet (0.5% crystal violet, 20% methanol) at the indicated time points.
[0507] A549 cells were seeded at 5,000 cells / well in 3, 12 well plates (Coming) and grown in F- 12K media with GlutaMAX and 10 % fetal bovine serum (FBS). Cells were incubated overnight at 37°C with 5% CO2. Plates were treated as replicates, with column 1 being treated with 0.1% DMSO, column 2 treated with 100 nM palbociclib and 300 nM INX-315. Columns 3 and 4 were treated with 10 nM RMC-6236 but with column 4 additionally being treated with 300 nM INX- 315. Treatments were refreshed every 3-4 days and cell densities monitored. Plates were collected and stained using crystal violet (0.5% crystal violet, 20% methanol) at the indicated time points.
[0508] MIA Paca 2 cells were seeded at 5000 cells / well in 3, 12 well plates (Corning) and grown in DMEM with GlutaMAX, 10% FBS, and 2.5% equine serum. Cells were incubated overnight at 37°C with 5% CO2. Plates were treated as replicates, with column 1 being treated with 0.1% DMSO, column 2 treated with 100 nM palbociclib and 300 nM INX-315. Columns 3 and 4 were treated with 10 nM RMC-6236 but with column 4 additionally being treated with 300 nM INX- 315. Treatments were refreshed every 3-4 days and cell densities monitored. Plates were collected and stained using crystal violet (0.5% crystal violet, 20% methanol) at the indicated time points.
[0509] Results
[0510] Cell colony assay results for HCT 116 cell, A549 cell, and MIA PaCa-2 cell lines were illustrated (FIG. 8A-8C, respectively). INX-315 delayed outgrowth of cells treated with RMC- 6236 in HCT 116 and A549 cells (FIG. 8A-8B), while RMC-6236 had some colonies growing out at the endpoint in MIA PaCa-2 cells (FIG. 8C). In HCT 116 and A549 cells, the combination of Palbociclib and INX-315 reduced cell growth greater than other treatments (FIG. 8A-8B), while in MIA PaCa-2 cells the combination of Palbociclib and INX-315 eliminated cells altogether following treatment end (FIG. 8C). The combination of INX-315 in combination with RMC-6236 had no colonies growing out in MIAPaCa 2 cells as well (FIG. 8C).
[0511] As shown, the addition of INX-315 drastically improved cell sensitivity to combined treatment compared to single RAS inhibitor treatment alone, indicating a suppression of RAS inhibitor resistance in KRAS mutant cell lines. Similarly, the combination of INX-315 and a CDK4 / 6 inhibitor prevented colony outgrowth at levels exceeding RAS inhibitor treatment alone, further validating the efficacy of CDK2 inhibitor and CDK4 / 6 inhibitor combination treatments in KRAS mutant cancer.
[0512] Example 7. INX-315 Induces Necrosis
[0513] Introduction
[0514] The necrotic effect of CDK2 inhibitor compound INX-315 administered alone or in combination with a KRAS inhibitor (e.g., RMC-6236) or with a CDK4 / 6 inhibitor (e.g., palbociclib) was studied in various KRAS mutant cancer model cell lines.
[0515] Methods
[0516] HCT 116 cells were seeded at 500 cells per well (Corning 96-well white wall plates) and grown in McCoy’s 5A with GlutaMAX and 10% fetal bovine serum (FBS). Cells were incubated overnight at 37°C with 5% CO2. Cells were treated (n=2 for INX-315, n=3 for RMC-6236 conditions, n= 3 for palbociclib conditions) with a dose curve of INX-315, RMC-6236, or RMC- 6236 + 100 nM INX-315, palbociclib, or palbociclib + 100 nM INX-315 and treated for 48 hours. Cells were incubated with Cell Tox Green (Promega G8743), to show any necrosis. A follow up CTG assay was performed using manufacturer’s instructions.
[0517] Results
[0518] Necrotic signals were expressed as a ratio of the untreated controls. Surprisingly, administration of INX-315 alone induced necrosis, whereas neither RMC-6236 nor palbociclib alone did not (FIG. 9A). Cell Tox Green (CTG) indicates the lower signal is due to inhibition of cellular proliferation, not cell death (FIG. 9B).
[0519] Example 8. INX-315 Cell Cycle Assay
[0520] Introduction
[0521] The effect of CDK2 inhibitor compound INX-315 administered alone or in combination with a RAS inhibitor (e.g., RMC-6236) or with a CDK4 / 6 inhibitor (e.g., palbociclib) to induce cell cycle phase shifts in cell populations was studied in various KRAS mutant cancer model cell lines. Methods
[0522] HCT 116 cells were seeded at 50,000 cells per well (corning 6 well tissue culture plate) and grown in McCoy’s 5 A with GlutaMAX and 10% fetal bovine serum (FBS). AGS cells were seeded at 100,000 cells per well and grown in F-12K media with GlutaMAX and 10% FBS. MIA PaCa-2 cells were seeded at 100,000 cells per well and grown in DMEM with GlutaMAX, 10% FBS, and 2.5% equine serum. Cells were incubated overnight at 37°C with 5% CO2. Cells were treated with 0.1% DMSO; INX-315 at 30, 100, 300, or 1000 nM; 100 nM palbociclib, palbociclib + 100 or 300 nM INX-315; 3 nM RMC-6236, RMC-6236 + 100 or 300 nM INX-315 (n=2). Cells were incubated for 47 hours before 10 pM EdU was added to the media. After one additional hour, cells were collected and fixed in 4% paraformaldehyde. Cells were incubated with Alexa 488 azide dye as described by Thermo Scientific. Cells were then incubated with FarRed dye and RNase. Cells were analyzed on a BD Celesta and data compiled using FloJo and GraphPad.
[0523] Results
[0524] Administration of INX-315 alone did not substantially alter the frequency of cell populations in various cell cycle phases in MIA PaCa-2 cells, whereas the combination of INX- 315 with either a RAS inhibitor or with a CDK4 / 6 inhibitor increased the percentage of cells in G1 phase, and nearly eliminated cells in S phase (FIG. 10A). Similarly, in AGS and HCT 116 cells only INX-315 / RAS inhibitor and INX-315 / CDK4 / 6 inhibitor combination therapies substantially increased the frequency of cells in G1 phase while reducing the frequency of cells in S phase (FIG. 10B-10C). It should be noted that in AGS and HCT 116 cells, high concentrations of INX-315 induced similar increases in G1 phase cells with concomitant decreases in S-phase cells (FIG. 10B- 10C).
[0525] Example 9. INX-315 Cell Cycle Marker Analysis
[0526] Introduction
[0527] The effect of CDK2 inhibitor compound INX-315 administered alone or in combination with a RAS inhibitor (e.g., RMC-6236) or with a CDK4 / 6 inhibitor (e.g., palbociclib) to induce changes in levels of cell cycle markers was studied in various KRAS mutant cancer model cell lines. Methods
[0528] HCT 116 cells were seeded at 50,000 cells per well (corning 6 well tissue culture plate) and grown in McCoy’s 5A with GlutaMAX and 10% fetal bovine serum (FBS). AGS cells were seeded at 100,000 cells per well and grown in F-12K media with GlutaMAX and 10% FBS. Cells were treated with 0.1% DMSO; INX-315 at 30, 100, 300, or 1000 nM; 100 nM palbociclib, palbociclib + 100 or 300 nM INX-315; 3 nM RMC-6236, RMC-6236 + 100 or 300 nM INX-315 (z / 2) Cells were incubated for 48 hours before the media was aspirated, cells washed twice with cold PBS, and lysed with 100 pL of RIPA buffer containing phosphatase and protease inhibitors. Lysates were clarified by centrifugation at 12 kxg for 15 min at 4°C and supernatants transferred to clean tubes. ABCA assay was performed to determine the protein concentration of each lysate. A total of 20 to 30 pg of protein was mixed with sample buffer and reducing agent before being boiled and run on a 4-12% SDS-PAGE. Protein was transferred to a nitrocellulose membrane and blocked with LI-COR blocking buffer for 1 hour. Membranes were incubated overnight in primary antibody at 4°C. Following 3 washes with TBST, membranes were incubated for 60 minutes in LI-COR secondary antibodies. Following 3 washes in TBST, and one TBS wash, membranes were scanned using a LI-COR OdysseyCLx. Image studio was used for image analysis.
[0529] Results
[0530] As shown in immunoblots of samples of stomach cancer model AGS cells which harbor a mutation encoding KRAS G12D as well as a Cyclin El (CCNE1) amplification, INX-315 combination treatment groups induced decreased phosphorylated Rb compared to INX-315 administered alone, whereas Rb levels appeared mostly unchanged across all treatment groups (FIG. 11 A). Further, decreased levels of survivin and phosphorylated FoxMl were observed in the INX-315 combination groups compared to administration of INX-315 alone (FIG. 11A-11B). This suggests that the enhanced efficacy of treatment combinations comprising INX-315 may be due to profound suppression of Rb phosphorylation coupled with enhancement of a pro-apoptotic phenotype when compared to single agent treatment.
[0531] Similarly, INX-315 combination treatment groups induced decreased phosphorylated Rb compared to INX-315 administered alone in HCT 116 cells (KRAS G13D colorectal cancer cells), while Rb levels were unchanged across all treatment groups (FIG. 12A). Additionally, decreased levels of survivin, phosphorylated FoxMl, and phosphorylated ERK were observed in the INX- 315 combination groups compared to administration of INX-315 alone in HCT 116 cells (FIG. 12A-12B). This is an independent observation of INX-315 combination treatments suppress Rb activation and enhance pro-apoptotic phenotypes relative to single agent treatments. Interestingly, the combination of INX-315 and CDK4 / 6 inhibitor (Palbociclib) induced a phenomenon of increased steady-state levels of Cyclin El protein in both AGS cells and HCT 116 cells (FIG. 11 A, 12A), which suggests that KRAS mutant cancer cells become increasingly reliant on the CDK2- CCNE1 pathway as an amplification loop mechanism to iteratively enhance sensitivity to CDK2 inhibitor INX-315 treatment.

The reaction mixture was cooled to room temperature quenched with water (30 mL), and extracted with EA (30 mL x 3). The combined organic phase was dried over Na2SO4, filtered and concentrated in vacuo. The resulting residue was purified by silica column chromatography to afford intermediate 8 (300 mg, 0.57 mmol). LC-MS (ESI+): m / z 524 [M + H]+.
[0541] Step 6: To a solution of intermediate 8 (2 g, 3.82 mmol) in DMAc (30 mL) was added CS2CO3 (4 g, 12.28 mmol). The reaction mixture was stirred at 100°C for 5 hours. The reaction mixture was cooled to room temperature, quenched with water (60 mL), and extracted with EA (20 mL x 3).
