WSGR Ref. 47134-779.601TREATMENT OF CANCER USING COMBINATIONS OF AN EED INHIBITOR AND AN AKTINHIBITORCROSS-REFERENCE
[0001] This application claims the benefit of U.S. Provisional Application Serial No. 63 / 703,090 filed October 3, 2024; which is hereby incorporated by reference in its entirety.BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
[0002] Cancer is the leading cause of death worldwide and the second leading cause in the United States. Prostate cancer is the most common cancer among men in the United States, with about one in nine men diagnosed in their lifetime. Many cancers, including prostate cancer, remain one of the leading causes of death and new treatments are needed. Poly comb repressive complex 2 (PRC2) dysregulation is linked to poor prognosis in cancers because the PRC2-controlled epigenetic chromatin silencing mechanism plays a key role in regulating cellular functions such as cell growth and differentiation. The dysregulation of PRC2 activity can lead to tumorigenesis in a wide range of cancers including prostate cancer, breast cancer, and hematological malignancies. In addition, misregulation of PRC2 function in prostate cancer contributes not only to tumorigenesis, but also therapeutic resistance. Mutations and alterations in the PI3K / AKT / PTEN pathway, another crucial cell growth, survival, metabolism, and proliferation pathway, are also common in cancers, including prostate cancer. For example, approximately 40% of prostate cancer tumors harbor a form of PI3K pathway alteration, with PTEN loss being the most frequent, followed by PIK3CA and AKT1 mutations. These alterations are critical because they are associated with more aggressive tumor behavior, resistance to standard therapies (like androgen deprivation therapy in the case of prostate cancer), and may serve as biomarkers for targeted therapies, such as AKT inhibitors. Given the need for new treatments in the treatment of cancer and the critical role of both PRC2 function and PI3K / AKT / PTEN pathway signaling in cancer, inhibition of both pathways in subjects with PI3K / AKT / PTEN pathway alterations may provide a new opportunity for the treatment of cancers in the subjects.

[0070] Compound 1, or pharmaceutically acceptable salts thereof, may be prepared using commercially available reagents and intermediates in the synthetic methods and reaction schemes described herein,WSGR Ref. 47134-779.601 those described in United States Patent No. 11,091,495, or may be prepared using other reagents and conventional methods well known to those skilled in the art. The contents of United States Patent No. 11,091,495 are hereby incorporated by reference forthat purpose.
[0071] In some embodiments are provided methods of treating cancer in a subject, comprising administering to the subject a pharmaceutically acceptable salt of Compound 1. The desired salt may be prepared by any suitable method available in the art, for example, treatment of the free base with an inorganic acid, such as hydrochloric acid, hydrobromic acid, sulfuric acid, nitric acid, phosphoric acid and the like, or with an organic acid, such as acetic acid, maleic acid, succinic acid, mandelic acid, fumaric acid, malonic acid, pyruvic acid, oxalic acid, glycolic acid, salicylic acid, a pyranosidyl acid, such as glucuronic acid or galacturonic acid, an alpha-hydroxy acid, such as citric acid or tartaric acid, an amino acid, such as aspartic acid or glutamic acid, an aromatic acid, such as benzoic acid or cinnamic acid, a sulfonic acid, such as p -toluene sulfonic acid or ethanesulfonic acid, or the like.
[0072] If Compound 1, or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof, is a solid, it is understood by those skilled in the art that the compounds or salts thereof may exist in different crystal or polymorphic forms, all of which are intended to be within the scope of the present invention and specified formulas.
[0073] Also provided herein are uses of isotopically -labeled Compound 1, or a pharmaceutically acceptable thereof, wherein one or more atoms is replaced by an atom having the same atomic number, but an atomic mass or mass number different from the atomic mass or mass number usually found in nature. Examples of isotopes suitable for inclusion in the compounds of the invention include isotopes of hydrogen, such as2H and3H, carbon, such asnC,13C and14C, chlorine, such as36C1, fluorine, such as18F, iodine, such as123I and125I, nitrogen, such as13N and15N, oxygen, such as150,17O and18O, phosphorus, such as32P, and sulfur, such as35S. Certain isotopically-labeled compounds of the invention, for example, those incorporating a radioactive isotope, are useful in drug and / or substrate tissue distribution studies. The radioactive isotopes tritium (3H) and carbon-14 (14C) are particularly useful for this purpose in view of their ease of incorporation and ready means of detection. Substitution with heavier isotopes such as deuterium,2H, may afford certain therapeutic advantages resulting from greater metabolic stability, for example, increased in vivo half-life or reduced dosage requirements, and hence may be preferred in some circumstances. Substitution with positron emitting isotopes, such asnC,18F,15O and13N, can be useful in Positron Emission Topography (PET) studies for examining substrate receptor occupancy. Isotopically- labeled Compound 1, or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof, can generally be prepared by conventional techniques known to those skilled in the art or by processes analogous to those described herein, using an appropriate isotopically-labeled reagent in place of the non-labeled reagent otherwise employed.
[0074] In one aspect, the compositions described herein comprising Compound 1, or a pharmaceutically acceptable thereof, are used for the treatment of cancer in subjects. Such compositions may be prepared in pharmaceutically acceptable dosage forms for administration to subjects. Pharmaceutically acceptable dosage forms include, for example, liquids, suspensions, powders forWSGR Ref. 47134-779.601 reconstitution, tablets, pills, sachets, or capsules of hard or soft gelatin (See, e.g., Remington: The Science and Practice of Pharmacy (Gennaro, 21stEd. Mack Pub. Co., Easton, PA (2005)). Compound 1, or a pharmaceutically acceptable thereof, may be formulated into pharmaceutical compositions as described below in any pharmaceutical form recognizable to the skilled artisan as being suitable. Pharmaceutical compositions disclosed herein comprise a therapeutically effective amount of Compound 1, or a pharmaceutically acceptable thereof, and an inert, pharmaceutically acceptable carrier or diluent.
[0075] The pharmaceutical carriers employed may be either solid or liquid. Exemplary solid carriers are lactose, sucrose, talc, gelatin, agar, pectin, acacia, magnesium stearate, stearic acid, and the like. Exemplary liquid carriers are syrup, peanut oil, olive oil, water, and the like. Similarly, the compositions may include time-delay or time-release material known in the art, such as glyceryl monostearate or glyceryl distearate alone or with a wax, ethylcellulose, hydroxypropylmethylcellulose, methylmethacrylate or the like. Further additives or excipients may be added to achieve the desired formulation properties. For example, a bioavailability enhancer, such as Labrasol, Gelucire or the like, or formulator, such as CMC (carboxy-methylcellulose), PG (propyleneglycol), or PEG (polyethyleneglycol), may be added. Gelucire, a semi-solid vehicle that protects active ingredients from light, moisture, and oxidation, may be added, e.g., when preparing a capsule formulation.
[0076] If a solid carrier is used, the preparation can be tableted, placed in a hard gelatin capsule in powder or pellet form, or formed into a troche or lozenge. The amount of solid carrier may vary, but generally will be from about 25 mg to about 1 g. If a liquid carrier is used, the preparation may be in the form of syrup, emulsion, soft gelatin capsule, sterile injectable solution or suspension in an ampoule or vial or non-aqueous liquid suspension. If a semi-solid carrier is used, the preparation may be in the form of hard and soft gelatin capsule formulations. The inventive compositions are prepared in unit-dosage form appropriate for the mode of administration, e.g., parenteral or oral administration.
[0077] To obtain a stable water-soluble dose form, Compound 1, or a pharmaceutically acceptable thereof, may be dissolved in an aqueous solution of an organic or inorganic acid, such as a 0.3 M solution of succinic acid or citric acid. If a soluble salt form is not available, the compound, or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof, may be dissolved in a suitable co-solvent or combinations of co-solvents. Examples of suitable co-solvents include alcohol, propylene glycol, polyethylene glycol 300, polysorbate 80, glycerin and the like in concentrations ranging from 0 to 60% of the total volume. In an exemplary embodiment, Compound 1, or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof, is dissolved in DMSO and diluted with water. The composition may also be in the form of a solution of a salt form of the active ingredient in an appropriate aqueous vehicle such as water or isotonic saline or dextrose solution.
[0078] Proper formulation is dependent upon the route of administration selected. For injection, Compound 1, or a pharmaceutically acceptable thereof, may be formulated into aqueous solutions, preferably in physiologically compatible buffers such as Hanks solution, Ringer's solution, or physiological saline buffer. For transmucosal administration, penetrants appropriate to the barrier to be permeated are used in the formulation. Such penetrants are generally known in the art.WSGR Ref. 47134-779.601
[0079] For oral administration, Compound 1, or a pharmaceutically acceptable thereof, can be formulated by combining the active compounds with pharmaceutically acceptable carriers known in the art. Such carriers enable the compounds of the invention to be formulated as tablets, pills, dragees, capsules, liquids, gels, syrups, slurries, suspensions, and the like, for oral ingestion by a subject to be treated. Pharmaceutical preparations for oral use can be obtained using a solid excipient in admixture with the active ingredient (agent), optionally grinding the resulting mixture, and processing the mixture of granules after adding suitable auxiliaries, if desired, to obtain tablets or dragee cores. Suitable excipients include: fillers such as sugars, including lactose, sucrose, mannitol, or sorbitol; and cellulose preparations, for example, maize starch, wheat starch, rice starch, potato starch, gelatin, gum, methyl cellulose, hydroxypropylmethyl -cellulose, sodium carboxymethylcellulose, or polyvinylpyrrolidone (PVP). If desired, disintegrating agents may be added, such as crosslinked polyvinyl pyrrolidone, agar, or alginic acid or a salt thereof such as sodium alginate.
[0080] Dragee cores are provided with suitable coatings. For this purpose, concentrated sugar solutions may be used, which may optionally contain gum arabic, polyvinyl pyrrolidone, Carbopol gel, polyethylene glycol, and / or titanium dioxide, lacquer solutions, and suitable organic solvents or solvent mixtures. Dyestuffs or pigments may be added to the tablets or dragee coatings for identification or to characterize different combinations of active agents.
[0081] Pharmaceutical preparations that can be used orally include push-fit capsules made of gelatin, as well as soft, sealed capsules made of gelatin and a plasticizer, such as glycerol or sorbitol. The push-fit capsules can contain the active ingredients in admixture with fillers such as lactose, binders such as starches, and / or lubricants such as talc or magnesium stearate, and, optionally, stabilizers. In soft capsules, the active agents may be dissolved or suspended in suitable liquids, such as fatty oils, liquid paraffin, or liquid polyethylene glycols. In addition, stabilizers may be added. All formulations for oral administration should be in dosages suitable for such administration. For buccal administration, the compositions may take the form of tablets or lozenges formulated in conventional manner.
[0082] For administration intranasally or by inhalation, Compound 1, or a pharmaceutically acceptable thereof, may be conveniently delivered in the form of an aerosol spray presentation from pressurized packs or a nebulizer, with the use of a suitable propellant, e.g., dichlorodifluoromethane, trichlorofluoromethane, dichlorotetrafluoroethane, carbon dioxide or other suitable gas. In the case of a pressurized aerosol the dosage unit may be determined by providing a valve to deliver a metered amount. Capsules and cartridges of gelatin for use in an inhaler or insufflator and the like may be formulated containing a powder mix of the compound and a suitable powder base such as lactose or starch.
[0083] Compound 1, or a pharmaceutically acceptable thereof, may be formulated for parenteral administration by injection, e.g., by bolus injection or continuous infusion. Formulations for injection may be presented in unit-dosage form, e.g., in ampoules or in multi-dose containers, with an added preservative. The compositions may take such forms as suspensions, solutions, or emulsions in oily orWSGR Ref. 47134-779.601 aqueous vehicles, and may contain formulatory agents such as suspending, stabilizing and / or dispersing agents.
[0084] Pharmaceutical formulations for parenteral administration include aqueous solutions of the active compounds in water-soluble form. Additionally, suspensions of the active agents may be prepared as appropriate oily injection suspensions. Suitable lipophilic solvents or vehicles include fatty oils such as sesame oil, or synthetic fatty acid esters, such as ethyl oleate or triglycerides, or liposomes. Aqueous injection suspensions may contain substances that increase the viscosity of the suspension, such as sodium carboxymethyl cellulose, sorbitol, or dextran. Optionally, the suspension may also contain suitable stabilizers or agents that increase the solubility of the compounds to allow for the preparation of highly concentrated solutions.
[0085] Alternatively, the active ingredient may be in powder form for constitution with a suitable vehicle, e.g., sterile pyrogen-free water, before use.
[0086] Compound 1, or a pharmaceutically acceptable thereof, may also be formulated as a depot preparation. Such long-acting formulations may be administered by implantation (for example, subcutaneously or intramuscularly) or by intramuscular injection. Thus, for example, Compound 1, or a pharmaceutically acceptable thereof, may be formulated with suitable polymeric or hydrophobic materials (for example, as an emulsion in an acceptable oil) or ion-exchange resins, or as sparingly soluble derivatives, for example, as a sparingly soluble salt. A pharmaceutical carrier for hydrophobic compounds is a co-solvent system comprising benzyl alcohol, a non-polar surfactant, a water-miscible organic polymer, and an aqueous phase. The co-solvent system may be a VPD co-solvent system. VPD is a solution of 3% w / v benzyl alcohol, 8% w / v of the non-polar surfactant polysorbate 80, and 65% w / v polyethylene glycol 300, made up to volume in absolute ethanol. The VPD co-solvent system (VPD: 5W) contains VPD diluted 1: 1 with a 5% dextrose in water solution. This co-solvent system dissolves hydrophobic compounds well, and itself produces low toxicity upon systemic administration. The proportions of a co-solvent system may be suitably varied without destroying its solubility and toxicity characteristics. Furthermore, the identity of the co-solvent components may be varied: for example, other low-toxicity non-polar surfactants may be used instead of polysorbate 80; the fraction size of polyethylene glycol may be varied; other biocompatible polymers may replace polyethylene glycol, e.g., polyvinyl pyrrolidone; and other sugars or polysaccharides may be substituted for dextrose.
[0087] Alternatively, other delivery systems for hydrophobic pharmaceutical compounds may be employed. Liposomes and emulsions are known examples of delivery vehicles or carriers for hydrophobic drugs. Certain organic solvents such as dimethylsulfoxide (DMSO) also may be employed, although usually at the cost of greater toxicity due to the toxic nature of DMSO. Additionally, the compounds may be delivered using a sustained-release system, such as semipermeable matrices of solid hydrophobic polymers containing the therapeutic agent. Various sustained-release materials have been established and are known by those skilled in the art. Sustained-release capsules may, depending on their chemical nature, release the compounds for a few weeks up to over 100 days. Depending on the chemicalWSGR Ref. 47134-779.601 nature and the biological stability of the therapeutic reagent, additional strategies for protein stabilization may be employed.
[0088] The pharmaceutical compositions also may comprise suitable solid- or gel-phase carriers or excipients. These carriers and excipients may provide marked improvement in the bioavailability of poorly soluble drugs. Examples of such carriers or excipients include calcium carbonate, calcium phosphate, sugars, starches, cellulose derivatives, gelatin, and polymers such as polyethylene glycols.
[0089] Further, the pharmaceutical composition may be incorporated into a skin patch for delivery of the drug directly onto the skin.
[0090] Additionally, the pharmaceutically acceptable formulations Compound 1, or a pharmaceutically acceptable thereof, that may be used to practice the methods disclosed herein may contain Compound 1, or a pharmaceutically acceptable thereof, in an amount of from about 0.5 w / w % to about 95 w / w %, or from about 1 w / w % to about 95 w / w %, or from about 1 w / w % to about 75 w / w %, or from about 5 w / w % to about 75 w / w %, or from about 10 w / w % to about 75 w / w %, or from about 10 w / w % to about 50 w / w %.
[0091] It will be appreciated that the actual dosages of Compound 1 , or a pharmaceutically acceptable thereof, to be administered to a subject in need thereof, will vary according to the particular composition of the formulation, the mode of administration, and the particular site, host, and disease being treated. Those skilled in the art using conventional dosage-determination tests in view of the experimental data for a given compound may ascertain optimal dosages for a given set of conditions. For oral administration, an exemplary daily dose of Compound 1, or a pharmaceutically acceptable thereof, generally employed will be from about 0.001 to about 1000 mg / kg of body weight, with courses of treatment repeated at appropriate intervals.

[0119] The AKT inhibitor administered to the subject having cancer in combination Compound 1, or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof, may be used in an amount according to the information known to those of ordinary skill in the art regarding those agents. For example, capivasertib may be administered to a subject according to the methods disclosed herein in amounts, and under conditions, according to those approved by one more regulatory authorities (e.g., the United States Food and Drug Administration) for the treatment of various types of cancer using those agents. In an embodiment, capivasertib is administered to a subject according to the methods described herein in an amount that is 400 mg twice daily, with or without food, for 4 days followed by 3 days off. In the event a subject experiences an adverse reaction in conjunction with the subject being administered capivasertib, the dose of capivasertib administered to such subject may be reduced to 320 mg twice daily for 4 days followed by 3 days off. In the event a second dose reduction of capivasertib is necessary, the dose of capivasertib administered to such subject may be reduced to 200 mg twice daily for 4 days followed by 3 days off. It is specifically contemplated herein that a subject administered Compound 1, or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof, and capivasertib may require a reduction in the amount of capivasertib being administered to such subject while maintaining the same dose of Compound 1, or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof. It is also specifically contemplated herein that a subject administered Compound 1, or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof, and capivasertib may require a reduction in the amount of Compound 1, or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof, while maintaining the same dose of capivasertib being administered to such subject. It is further contemplated herein that a subject administered Compound 1, or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof, and capivasertib may require a reduction in the amount of Compound 1, or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof, and a reduction in the amount of capivasertib.
[0120] In some embodiments are provided the methods disclosed herein wherein the measurement of one or more biomarkers is used to determine whether a subject would benefit from the administration Compound 1, or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof, and an AKT inhibitor, or whether the subjectWSGR Ref. 47134-779.601 is responding to the administration of Compound 1, or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof, and an AKT inhibitor. Biomarkers that may be used according to the methods disclosed herein are those known to those having ordinary skill in the art, for example the presence of one or more PI3KA / AKT1 / PTEN alterations. In an embodiment, the biomarkers that may be used according to the methods disclosed herein include the presence of one or more PI3KA / AKT1 / PTEN alterations as detected by an FDA -approved test. In some embodiments, the biomarker comprises the presence of one or more PI3KA alterations in one or more cells comprising the cancer in the subject. In other embodiments, the biomarker comprises the presence of one or more AKT1 alterations in one or more cells comprising the cancer in the subject, the biomarker comprises the presence of one or more PTEN alterations in one or more cells comprising the cancer in the subject. In some embodiments, one or more cells comprising the cancer in the subject are determined to be PTEN-null.
[0121] Disclosed herein are methods comprising: (a) providing a biologic sample obtained from a subject having cancer; (b) assaying to detect in the biologic sample obtained from the subject a presence or absence of a biomarker; (c) detecting the presence or absence of the biomarker in the biologic sample using the methods described herein; and (d) administering to the subject a therapeutically effective amount of amount of Compound 1, or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof, and an AKT inhibitor if the biomarker is present in the biological sample. In some embodiments, the presence of one or more biomarkers described herein indicate the cancer in the subject is resistant to one or more prior therapies, such as the cancer being resistant to one or more chemotherapeutic agents or one or endocrine -based regimen.
[0122] The presence, absence, or level, of such biomarkers may be measured, collectively or individually, in a biological sample obtained from a subject, such as a sample of a solid tumor, such as breast cancer, or from a sample of a relevant biological fluid, such as a blood sample. In some instances, the one or more biomarkers are detected in plasma or serum that is derived from a blood sample obtained from the subject. In some instances, the methods of detection disclosed herein are useful for predicting a therapeutic response to a therapy described herein (e.g., the administration to a subject of amount of Compound 1, or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof, and an AKT inhibitor), monitor the treatment using the therapy of, and treating with the therapy, a proliferative disease or condition described herein in a subject.
[0123] In some embodiments, the expression of a biomarker in a biological sample from a subject is measured by use of immunohistochemistry (IHC) assays. Such immunohistochemistry (IHC) assays are commercially available, or may be developed and utilized according to methods known to those having ordinary skill in the art.
[0124] Immunohistochemistry techniques utilize an antibody to probe and visualize cellular antigens in situ, generally by chromogenic or fluorescent methods. In such techniques, antibodies or antisera, polyclonal antisera, or monoclonal antibodies specific for each marker are used to detect expression. The antibodies can be detected by direct labeling of the antibodies themselves, for example, with radioactiveWSGR Ref. 47134-779.601 labels, fluorescent labels, hapten labels such as, biotin, or an enzyme such as horse radish peroxidase or alkaline phosphatase. Alternatively, unlabeled primary antibody is used in conjunction with a labeled secondary antibody, comprising antisera, polyclonal antisera, or a monoclonal antibody specific for the primary antibody. Immunohistochemistry protocols and kits are well known in the art and are commercially available.
[0125] Two general methods of IHC are generally available; direct and indirect assays. According to the first assay, binding of antibody to the target antigen is determined directly. This direct assay uses a labeled reagent, such as a fluorescent tag or an enzyme-labeled primary antibody, which can be visualized without further antibody interaction. In a typical indirect assay, unconjugated primary antibody binds to the antigen and then a labeled secondary antibody binds to the primary antibody. Where the secondary antibody is conjugated to an enzymatic label, a chromagenic or Anorogenic substrate is added to provide visualization of the antigen. Signal amplification occurs because several secondary antibodies may react with different epitopes on the primary antibody. The primary and / or secondary antibody used for immunohistochemistry typically will be labeled with a detectable moiety. Numerous labels are available which can be generally grouped into the following categories. First, are radioisotopes, such as35S,14C,1251,3H, and131I. The antibody can be labeled with the radioisotope using the techniques described in Current Protocols in Immunology, Volumes 1 and 2, Coligen et al., Ed. Wiley-Interscience, New York, N.Y., Pubs. (1991) for example and radioactivity can be measured using scintillation counting. Next, are colloidal gold particles. Third are fluorescent labels including, but are not limited to, rare earth chelates (europium chelates), Texas Red, rhodamine, fluorescein, dansyl, Lissamine, umbelliferone, phycocrytherin, phycocyanin, or commercially available fluorophores such SPECTRUM ORANGE® and SPECTRUM GREEN® and / or derivatives of any one or more of the above. The fluorescent labels can be conjugated to the antibody using the techniques disclosed in Current Protocols in Immunology, supra, for example. Fluorescence can be quantified using a fluorimeter. Fourth are various enzyme-substrate labels are available and U.S. Pat. No. 4,275,149 provides a review of some of these. The enzyme generally catalyzes a chemical alteration of the chromogenic substrate that can be measured using various techniques. For example, the enzyme may catalyze a color change in a substrate, which can be measured spectrophotometrically. Alternatively, the enzyme may alter the fluorescence or chemiluminescence of the substrate. Techniques for quantifying a change in fluorescence are described above. The chemiluminescent substrate becomes electronically excited by a chemical reaction and may then emit light which can be measured (using a chemiluminometer, for example) or donates energy to a fluorescent acceptor. Examples of enzymatic labels include luciferases (e.g., firefly luciferase and bacterial luciferase; U.S. Pat. No. 4,737,456), luciferin, 2,3 -dihydrophthalazinediones, malate dehydrogenase, urease, peroxidase such as horseradish peroxidase (HRPO), alkaline phosphatase, [3-galactosidase, glucoamylase, lysozyme, saccharide oxidases (e.g., glucose oxidase, galactose oxidase, and glucose -6-phosphate dehydrogenase), heterocyclic oxidases (such as uricase and xanthine oxidase), lactoperoxidase, microperoxidase, and the like. Techniques for conjugating enzymes to antibodies are described inWSGR Ref. 47134-779.601O'Sullivan et al. Methods for the Preparation of Enzyme-Antibody Conjugates for use in Enzyme Immunoassay, in Methods in Enzym. (ed J. Langone & H. Van Vunakis), Academic press, New York, 73: 147-166 (1981). Examples of enzyme-substrate combinations include, for example (i) Horseradish peroxidase (HRPO) with hydrogen peroxidase as a substrate, wherein the hydrogen peroxidase oxidizes a dye precursor [e.g., orthophenylene diamine (OPD) or 3,3 ’,5,5 ’-tetramethyl benzidine hydrochloride (TMB)]. 3,3 -Diaminobenzidine (DAB) may also be used to visualize the HRP -labeled antibody; (ii) alkaline phosphatase (AP) with para-Nitrophenyl phosphate as chromogenic substrate; and (iii) [3-D- galactosidase ( -D-Gal) with a chromogenic substrate (e.g., p-nitrophenyl- -D-galactosidase) or Anorogenic substrate (e.g., 4-methylumbelliferyl-P-D-galactosidase). Numerous other enzyme-substrate combinations are available to those skilled in the art. These methods are generally described in U.S. Pat. Nos. 4,275,149 and 4,318,980. Sometimes, the label is indirectly conjugated with the antibody. The skilled artisan will be aware of various techniques for achieving this. For example, the antibody can be conjugated with biotin and any of the four broad categories of labels mentioned above can be conjugated with avidin, or vice versa. Biotin binds selectively to avidin and thus, the label can be conjugated with the antibody in this indirect manner. Alternatively, to achieve indirect conjugation of the label with the antibody, the antibody is conjugated with a small hapten and one of the different types of labels mentioned above is conjugated with an anti-hapten antibody. Thus, indirect conjugation of the label with the antibody can be achieved.
[0126] Biological samples obtained from subjects comprising tissue samples may be prepared according to protocols commonly used in the art. Typically, sections of paraffin-embedded cells or tissues are obtained by (1) preserving tissue in fixative, (2) dehydrating the fixed tissue, (3) infiltrating the tissue with fixative, (4) orienting the tissue such that the cut surface accurately represents the tissue, (5) embedding the tissue in paraffin (making a paraffin block), (6) cutting tissue paraffin block with a microtome in sections of 4-5 picometers, and (7) mounting sections onto slides. The slides may then be read by a pathologist or the like assessing for the presence or absence of a biomarker, or of abnormal or normal cells or a specific cell type and provides the loci of the cell types of interest. Thus, for example, a pathologist or the like would review the slides and identify normal cells and abnormal cells (such as abnormal or tumor cells). Any means of defining the loci of the cells of interest may be used (e.g., coordinates on an X-Y axis).
[0127] Aside from the sample preparation procedures discussed above, further treatment of the tissue section prior to, during or following IHC may be desired. For example, epitope retrieval methods, such as heating the tissue sample in citrate buffer may be carried out [see, e.g., Leong et al. Appl.Immunohistochem. 4(3) :201 (1996)]. Following an optional blocking step, the tissue section is exposed to primary antibody for a sufficient period of time and under suitable conditions such that the primary antibody binds to the target protein antigen in the tissue sample. Appropriate conditions for achieving this can be determined by routine experimentation.WSGR Ref. 47134-779.601
[0128] The extent of binding of antibody to the sample is determined by using any one of the detectable labels discussed above. For example, the label is an enzymatic label (e.g., HRPO) which catalyzes a chemical alteration of the chromogenic substrate such as 3,3 ’-diaminobenzidine chromogen. Preferably the enzymatic label is conjugated to antibody which binds specifically to the primary antibody (e.g., the primary antibody is rabbit polyclonal antibody and secondary antibody is goat anti-rabbit antibody). Specimens thus prepared may be mounted and coverslipped. Slide evaluation is then determined, e.g., using a microscope.
[0129] IHC may be combined with morphological staining, either prior to or thereafter. After deparaffmization, the sections mounted on slides may be stained with a morphological stain for evaluation. The morphological stain to be used provides for accurate morphological evaluation of a tissue section. The section may be stained with one or more dyes each of which distinctly stains different cellular components. In one embodiment, hematoxylin is use for staining cellular nucleic of the slides. Hematoxylin is widely available. An example of a suitable hematoxylin is Hematoxylin II (Ventana). When lighter blue nuclei are desired, a bluing reagent may be used following hematoxylin staining. One of skill in the art will appreciate that staining may be optimized for a given tissue by increasing or decreasing the length of time the slides remain in the dye.
[0130] Automated systems for slide preparation and IHC processing are available commercially. The Ventana® BenchMark XT system is an example of such an automated system.
[0131] After staining, the tissue section may be analyzed by standard techniques of microscopy. Generally, a pathologist or the like assesses the tissue for the presence of abnormal or normal cells or a specific cell type and provides the loci of the cell types of interest. Thus, for example, a pathologist or the like would review the slides and identify normal cells and abnormal cells (such as abnormal or tumor cells). Any means of defining the loci of the cells of interest may be used (e.g., coordinates on an X-Y axis).
[0132] In some embodiments, the presence, or an absence, and / or a level of expression of the biomarker is detected in the sample obtained from a subject by analyzing the genetic material in the sample. In some embodiments, the genetic material is obtained from blood, serum, plasma, sweat, hair, tears, urine, and other techniques known by one of skill in the art. In some embodiments the sample comprises circulating tumor RNA (ctRNA). In some embodiments the sample comprises peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs). In some embodiments the sample comprises circulating tumor cells (CTCs). In some cases, the genetic material is obtained from a tumor biopsy or liquid biopsy. In some embodiments, a tumor biopsy comprises a formalin-fixed paraffin embedded biopsy, a fresh frozen biopsy, a fresh biopsy, or a frozen biopsy. In some embodiments, a liquid biopsy comprises PBMCs, circulating tumor RNA, plasma cell- free RNA, or circulating tumor cells (CTCs). Tumor and liquid biopsies can undergo additional analytic processing for sample dissociation, cell sorting, and enrichment of cell populations of interest.
[0133] In some embodiments, methods of detecting a presence, absence, or level of a biomarker in a biologic sample obtained from the subject involve detecting a nucleic acid sequence. In some cases, theWSGR Ref. 47134-779.601 nucleic acid sequence comprises deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA), such as in the case of detecting complementary DNA (cDNA) of an mRNA transcript. In some instances, the nucleic acid sequence comprises a denatured DNA molecule or fragment thereof. In some instances, the nucleic acid sequence comprises DNA selected from: genomic DNA, viral DNA, mitochondrial DNA, plasmid DNA, amplified DNA, circular DNA, circulating DNA, cell-free DNA, or exosomal DNA. In some instances, the DNA is single -stranded DNA (ssDNA), double-stranded DNA, denaturing double-stranded DNA, synthetic DNA, and combinations thereof. The circular DNA may be cleaved or fragmented. In some instances, the nucleic acid sequence comprises ribonucleic acid (RNA). In some instances, the nucleic acid sequence comprises fragmented RNA. In some instances, the nucleic acid sequence comprises partially degraded RNA. In some instances, the nucleic acid sequence comprises a microRNA or portion thereof. In some instances, the nucleic acid sequence comprises an RNA molecule or a fragmented RNA molecule (RNA fragments) selected from: a microRNA (miRNA), a pre-miRNA, a pri-miRNA, a mRNA, a pre-mRNA, a viral RNA, a viroid RNA, a virusoid RNA, circular RNA (circRNA), a ribosomal RNA (rRNA), a transfer RNA (tRNA), a pre-tRNA, a long non-coding RNA (IncRNA), a small nuclear RNA (snRNA), a circulating RNA, a cell-free RNA, an exosomal RNA, a vector-expressed RNA, an RNA transcript, a synthetic RNA, and combinations thereof.
[0134] Disclosed herein, in some embodiments, a biomarker is detected by subjecting a sample obtained from the subject to a nucleic acid-based detection assay. In some instances, the nucleic acid-based detection assay comprises quantitative polymerase chain reaction (qPCR), reverse transcription PCT (RT- qPCR), gel electrophoresis (including for e.g., Northern or Southern blot), immunohistochemistry (IHC), immunofluorescence (IF), in situ hybridization (ISH) such as fluorescent in situ hybridization (FISH), cytochemistry, microarray, or sequencing. In some embodiments, the sequencing technique comprises next generation sequencing. In some embodiments, the methods involve a hybridization assay such as Anorogenic qPCR (e.g., TaqMan™, SYBR green, SYBR green I, SYBR green II, SYBR gold, ethidium bromide, methylene blue, Pyronin Y, DAPI, acridine orange, Blue View or phycoerythrin), which involves a nucleic acid amplification reaction with a specific primer pair, and hybridization of the amplified nucleic acid probes comprising a detectable moiety or molecule that is specific to a target nucleic acid sequence. In some instances, a number of amplification cycles for detecting a target nucleic acid in a qPCR assay is about 5 to about 30 cycles. In some instances, the number of amplification cycles for detecting a target nucleic acid is at least about 5 cycles. In some instances, the number of amplification cycles for detecting a target nucleic acid is at most about 30 cycles. In some instances, the number of amplification cycles for detecting a target nucleic acid is about 5 to about 10, about 5 to about 15, about 5 to about 20, about 5 to about 25, about 5 to about 30, about 10 to about 15, about 10 to about 20, about 10 to about 25, about 10 to about 30, about 15 to about 20, about 15 to about 25, about 15 to about 30, about 20 to about 25, about 20 to about 30, or about 25 to about 30 cycles. For TaqMan™ methods, the probe may be a hydrolysable probe comprising a fluorophore and quencher that is hydrolyzed by DNA polymerase when hybridized to a target nucleic acid. In some cases, the presence of a target nucleic acid isWSGR Ref. 47134-779.601 determined when the number of amplification cycles to reach a threshold value is less than 30, 29, 28, 27, 26, 25, 24, 23, 22, 21, or 20 cycles. In some instances, hybridization may occur at standard hybridization temperatures, e.g., between about 35 °C and about 65 °C in a standard PCR buffer.
[0135] An additional exemplary nucleic acid-based detection assay comprises the use of nucleic acid probes conjugated or otherwise immobilized on a bead, multi-well plate, or other substrate, wherein the nucleic acid probes are configured to hybridize with a target nucleic acid sequence. In some instances, the nucleic acid probe is specific to one or more of a polynucleotide sequence that encodes a relevant biomarker as disclosed herein. In some instances, the nucleic acid probe specific to a biomarker comprises a nucleic acid probe sequence sufficiently complementary to the polynucleotide sequence that encodes the relevant biomarker protein. In some instances, the probe comprises a transcribed polynucleotide sequence (e.g., RNA, cDNA). In some embodiments, the nucleic acid probe can be, for example, a full-length cDNA, or a portion thereof, such as an oligonucleotide of at least about 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 20, 25, 30, 35, 40, 45, or 50 nucleotides in length and sufficient to specifically hybridize under standard hybridization conditions to the target nucleic acid sequence. In some embodiments, the target nucleic acid sequence is immobilized on a solid surface and contacted with a probe, for example by running the isolated target nucleic acid sequence on an agarose gel and transferring the target nucleic acid sequence from the gel to a membrane, such as nitrocellulose. In some embodiments, the probe(s) are immobilized on a solid surface, for example, in an Affymetrix gene chip array, and the probe(s) are contacted with the target nucleic acid sequence.
[0136] In some embodiments, the term “probe” with regards to nucleic acids, refers to any nucleic acid molecule that is capable of selectively binding to a specifically intended target nucleic acid sequence. In some instances, probes are specifically designed to be labeled, for example, with a radioactive label, a fluorescent label, an enzyme, a chemiluminescent tag, a colorimetric tag, or other labels or tags that are known in the art. In some instances, the fluorescent label comprises a fluorophore. In some instances, the fluorophore is an aromatic or heteroaromatic compound. In some instances, the fluorophore is a pyrene, anthracene, naphthalene, acridine, stilbene, benzoxazole, indole, benzindole, oxazole, thiazole, benzothiazole, canine, carbocyanine, salicylate, anthranilate, xanthenes dye, coumarin. Exemplary xanthene dyes include, e.g., fluorescein and rhodamine dyes. Fluorescein and rhodamine dyes include, but are not limited to 6-carboxyfluorescein (FAM), 2'7'-dimethoxy-4'5'-dichloro-6-carboxyfluorescein (JOE), tetrachlorofluorescein (TET), 6-carboxyrhodamine (R6G), N,N,N; N'-tetramethyl-6-carboxyrhodamine (TAMRA), 6-carboxy-X-rhodamine (ROX). Suitable fluorescent probes also include the naphthylamine dyes that have an amino group in the alpha or beta position. For example, naphthylamino compounds include I-dimethylaminonaphthyl-5-sulfonate, l-anilino-8-naphthalene sulfonate, and 2-p-toluidinyl-6- naphthalene sulfonate, 5-(2'-aminoethyl)aminonaphthalene-I-sulfonic acid (EDANS). Exemplary coumarins include, e.g., 3-phenyl-7-isocyanatocoumarin; acridines, such as 9-isothiocyanatoacridine and acridine orange; N-(p-(2-benzoxazolyl)phenyl) maleimide; cyanines, such as, e.g., indodicarbocyanine 3 (Cy3), indodicarbocyanine 5 (Cy5), indodicarbocyanine 5.5 (Cy5.5), 3-(-carboxy-pentyl)-3'-ethyl-5,5'-WSGR Ref. 47134-779.601 dimethyloxacarbocyanine (CyA); 1H, 5H, 11H, 15H-Xantheno[2,3, 4-ij: 5,6, 7-i'j']diquinolizin-18-ium, 9- [2 (or 4)-[[[6-[2,5-dioxo-l-pyrrolidinyl)oxy]-6-oxohexyl]amino]sulfonyl]-4 (or 2)-sulfophenyl]-2,3, 6,7, 12,13, 16,17-octahydro-inner salt (TR or Texas Red); or BODIPYTM dyes. In some cases, the probe comprises FAM as the dye label.
[0137] In some embodiments, detecting the one or more biomarkers comprises sequencing genetic material obtained from a sample from the subject. Sequencing can be performed with any appropriate sequencing technology, including but not limited to single -molecule real-time (SMRT) sequencing, Polony sequencing, sequencing by ligation, reversible terminator sequencing, proton detection sequencing, ion semiconductor sequencing, nanopore sequencing, electronic sequencing, pyrosequencing, Maxam-Gilbert sequencing, chain termination (e.g., Sanger) sequencing, +S sequencing, or sequencing by synthesis. Sequencing methods also include next-generation sequencing, e.g., modem sequencing technologies such as Illumina sequencing (e.g., Solexa), Roche 454 sequencing, Ion torrent sequencing, and SOLiD sequencing. In some cases, next-generation sequencing involves high-throughput sequencing methods. Additional sequencing methods available to one of skill in the art may also be employed.
[0138] In some instances, a number of nucleotides that are sequenced are at least 5, 10, 15, 20, 25, 30, 35, 40, 45, 50, 100, 150, 200, 300, 400, 500, 2000, 4000, 6000, 8000, 10000, 20000, 50000, 100000, or more than 100000 nucleotides. In some instances, the number of nucleotides sequenced is in a range of about 1 to about 100000 nucleotides, about 1 to about 10000 nucleotides, about 1 to about 1000 nucleotides, about 1 to about 500 nucleotides, about 1 to about 300 nucleotides, about 1 to about 200 nucleotides, about 1 to about 100 nucleotides, about 5 to about 100000 nucleotides, about 5 to about 10000 nucleotides, about 5 to about 1000 nucleotides, about 5 to about 500 nucleotides, about 5 to about 300 nucleotides, about 5 to about 200 nucleotides, about 5 to about 100 nucleotides, about 10 to about 100000 nucleotides, about 10 to about 10000 nucleotides, about 10 to about 1000 nucleotides, about 10 to about 500 nucleotides, about 10 to about 300 nucleotides, about 10 to about 200 nucleotides, about 10 to about 100 nucleotides, about 20 to about 100000 nucleotides, about 20 to about 10000 nucleotides, about 20 to about 1000 nucleotides, about 20 to about 500 nucleotides, about 20 to about 300 nucleotides, about 20 to about 200 nucleotides, about 20 to about 100 nucleotides, about 30 to about 100000 nucleotides, about 30 to about 10000 nucleotides, about 30 to about 1000 nucleotides, about 30 to about 500 nucleotides, about 30 to about 300 nucleotides, about 30 to about 200 nucleotides, about 30 to about 100 nucleotides, about 50 to about 100000 nucleotides, about 50 to about 10000 nucleotides, about 50 to about 1000 nucleotides, about 50 to about 500 nucleotides, about 50 to about 300 nucleotides, about 50 to about 200 nucleotides, or about 50 to about 100 nucleotides.
[0139] In some cases, a hybridization assay, such as those described herein, is used to detect the mRNA encoding the biomarker in the sample. Exemplary probe sequences that are hybridizable to a target nucleic acid sequence comprise at least 10, but no more than 100 contiguous nucleotides comprising the relevant sequence. In some cases, RNA sequencing (RNAseq) is used to detect the mRNA encoding the relevant biomarker protein.WSGR Ref. 47134-779.601
[0140] Detection of the mRNA, in some cases, involves amplification of the subject’s nucleic acid by the polymerase chain reaction (PCR). In some embodiments, the PCR assay involves use of a pair of primers capable of amplifying at least about 10 contiguous nucleobases within a nucleic acid sequence, thereby amplifying the one or more gene products in the biomarker. In Anorogenic quantitative PCR, quantitation is based on amount of Huorescence signals (TaqMan and SYBR green). In some embodiments, the nucleic acid probe is conjugated to a detectable molecule. The detectable molecule may be a Huorophore. The nucleic acid probe may also be conjugated to a quencher.
[0141] In some embodiments, the assay for detecting the presence or absence of mRNA encoding a relevant biomarker comprises reverse-transcribing the relevant mRNA molecule to produce a corresponding complementary DNA (cDNA) molecule. In some embodiments, the assay further comprises contacting the cDNA molecule with a nucleic acid probe comprising a nucleic acid sequence that is complementary to a nucleic acid sequence of the cDNA molecule. In some embodiments, the assay comprises detecting a double-stranded hybridization product between the nucleic acid probe and the cDNA molecule. In some embodiments, the hybridization product is further amplified using a pair of primers. In some embodiments, the primers comprises a first primer with a nucleic acid sequence comprising at least 10 but not more than 50 contiguous nucleic acids within a relevant nucleic acid sequence that binds to a top strand of the double -stranded hybridization product; and a second primer with a nucleic acid sequence comprising at least 10 but not more than 50 contiguous nucleic acids within a nucleic acid sequence that is reverse complement to the relevant nucleic acid sequence that binds to a bottom strand of the double -stranded hybridization product.
[0142] Disclosed herein, in some embodiments, are methods comprising preparing a complementary DNA (cDNA) library. In some embodiments, the cDNA library is sequenced using suitable sequence methodologies disclosed herein. In some embodiments, the cDNA library is labeled, a plurality of nucleic acid probes is generated, and fixed to an immobile surface (such as a microarray). In some embodiments, the plurality of nucleic acid probes is capable of hybridizing to at least about 10 contiguous nucleotides of the two or more genes in a sample obtained from the subject. In some embodiments, detecting the presence of or absence of a biomarker includes detecting a high or a low level of expression of one or more genes as compared to a reference level.
[0143] Disclosed herein, in some embodiments, genetic material is extracted from a biologic sample obtained from a subject, e.g., a sample of blood, serum, or tissue. In certain embodiments where nucleic acids are extracted, the nucleic acids are extracted using any technique that does not interfere with subsequent analysis. In certain embodiments, this technique uses alcohol precipitation using ethanol, methanol, or isopropyl alcohol. In certain embodiments, this technique uses phenol, chloroform, or any combination thereof. In certain embodiments, this technique uses cesium chloride. In certain embodiments, this technique uses sodium, potassium or ammonium acetate or any other salt commonly used to precipitate DNA. In certain embodiments, this technique utilizes a column or resin based nucleic acid purification scheme such as those commonly sold commercially, one non-limiting example would beWSGR Ref. 47134-779.601 the GenElute Bacterial Genomic DNA Kit available from Sigma Aldrich. In certain embodiments, after extraction the nucleic acid is stored in water, Tris buffer, or Tris-EDTA buffer before subsequent analysis. In an exemplary embodiment, the nucleic acid material is extracted in water. In some cases, extraction does not comprise nucleic acid purification. In certain embodiments, RNA may be extracted from cells using RNA extraction techniques including, for example, using acid phenol / guanidine isothiocyanate extraction (RNAzol B; Biogenesis), RNeasy RNA preparation kits (Qiagen) or PAXgene (PreAnalytix, Switzerland).
[0144] In some aspects, circulating tumor RNA (ctRNA) is used to assess the expression levels of RNA molecules, shed by the tumor into the blood stream. In some embodiments, detection of ctRNA is useful, for example, for detecting and diagnosing a tumor. Because tumor DNA and RNA has acquired multiple genetic mutations, leading to tumor development, ctRNA are not an exact match to the individual’s DNA and RNA, respectively. Finding DNA and RNA with genetic differences aids in tumor detection. Diagnosing the type of tumor using ctRNA can reduce the need for getting a sample of the tumor tissue (tumor biopsy), which can be challenging when a tumor is difficult to access, such as a tumor in the brain or lung.
[0145] In some embodiments, a decrease in the quantity of ctRNA suggests the solid tumor is shrinking and treatment of the subject with Compound 1, or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof, and an AKT inhibitor is effective. In some embodiments, a lack of ctRNA in the bloodstream indicates that the cancer has not returned after treatment of the subject with Compound 1, or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof, and an AKT inhibitor.
[0146] Described herein are methods of assessing genetic alterations by ctRNA profiling. In some embodiments, the genomic profiling is performed after each treatment cycle with Compound 1, or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof, and an AKT inhibitor. In some embodiments, the gene alterations indicate that the cancer is becoming resistant to the treatment with Compound 1, or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof, and an AKT inhibitor. In some embodiments, the lack of gene alterations indicate that the cancer is not becoming resistant to the treatment with Compound 1, or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof, and an AKT inhibitor.
[0147] Described herein are methods of assessing genetic alterations, including, but not limited to, mutations in certain genes and / or copy number alterations in certain genes, by circulating tumor DNA (ctDNA) and / or cell-free DNA (cfDNA) profiling. In some embodiments, the genomic profiling is performed after each treatment cycle with Compound 1, or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof, and an AKT inhibitor. In some embodiments, the gene alterations indicate that the cancer is becoming resistant to the treatment with Compound 1, or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof, and an AKT inhibitor. In some embodiments, the lack of gene alterations indicate that the cancer is not becoming resistant to the treatment with Compound 1, or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof, and an AKT inhibitor.WSGR Ref. 47134-779.601
[0148] In some embodiments, the expression of a biomarker is measured by immunofluorescence (IF) assays. In some embodiments, the expression of a biomarker is measured by in situ hybridization (ISH) assays. In some embodiments, the expression of a biomarker transcript levels are measured using assays such as quantitative polymerase chain reaction (qPCR), microarray, and RNA sequencing, or assays commercially available from companies such as Fluidigm and Nanostring.
[0149] Disclosed herein are methods of treating a subject having cancer, comprising: (a) providing a biologic sample obtained from a subject having cancer; (b) assaying to detect in the biologic sample obtained from the subject a presence or absence of a biomarker; (c) detecting the presence or absence of the biomarker in the biologic sample using the methods described herein; and (d) administering to the subject a therapeutically effective amount of Compound 1, or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof, and an AKT inhibitor if the biomarker is present in the biological sample. In some embodiments, expression of a biomarker is based on the expression level of the biomarker deviating from a reference expression level. In some embodiments, the expression level is high, relative to the reference expression level. In some embodiments, the expression level is low, relative to the reference expression level. In some embodiments, the reference expression level is derived from an individual, or a group of individuals, that do not have cancer. In some embodiments, the reference expression level is derived from an individual, or a group of individuals, that have cancer that does not therapeutically respond to the administration of Compound 1, or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof, and an AKT inhibitor. In some embodiments, the expression level deviates from the reference expression level by at least 20%, 30%, 40%, 50%, 60%, 70%, 80%, 90% or 100%.
[0150] In some embodiments, the determination of expression or the presence of a biomarker is defined based on the percentage of cells that stain weakly, moderately, or strongly for the relevant biomarker, with the threshold defining the minimal percentage of cells that are required to stain positive at the various intensity levels (>a% of tumor cells stain weakly, >b% of tumor cells stain moderately, >c% of tumor cells stain strongly, or a combination thereof). In some embodiments, the one or more of the cells comprising the cancer has been determined to express a biomarker when > about 10%, > about 15%, > about 20%, > about 25%, > about 30%, > about 35%, > about 40%, > about 45%, > about 50%, > about 55%, > about 60%, > about 65%, > about 70%, > about 75%, > about 80%, > about 85%, > about 90%, or > about 95% of the tumor cells stain weakly for the biomarker; when > about 10%, > about 15%, > about 20%, > about 25%, > about 30%, > about 35%, > about 40%, > about 45%, > about 50%, > about 55%, > about 60%, > about 65%, > about 70%, > about 75%, > about 80%, > about 85%, > about 90%, or > about 95% of the tumor cells stain moderately for the biomarker; when > about 10%, > about 15%, > about 20%, > about 25%, > about 30%, > about 35%, > about 40%, > about 45%, > about 50%, > about 55%, > about 60%, > about 65%, > about 70%, > about 75%, > about 80%, > about 85%, > about 90%, or > about 95% of the tumor cells stain strongly for the biomarker; or any combinations thereof.WSGR Ref. 47134-779.601Kits and articles of manufacture

[0231] Equipment: (a) Bravo Liquid Handler (Agilent, Cat#: G5523BA); (b) 96-well Non-Sterile Polypropylene V Bottom Plates (Coming, Cat#: 3363); (c) 384-well Sterile White with Flat Clear Bottom Plates (Greiner, Cat#: 781098); (d) TopSeal-A Plus plate seal (PerkinElmer, Cat#: 6050185)
[0232] Cell handling: C4-2 and 22RV1 cells were cultured in complete culture media at exponential growth phase for at least one week prior to assay. The different cell suspensions were counted and seeded into 384-well Sterile White Flat Clear Bottom Plates using a Bravo liquid handler at a concentration of 500 cells in 56 pL of media per well.
[0233] Compound preparation, dilution and dispensing: To prepare the compound dilutions from 10 mM stock solutions, dilution plates were prepared using the Bravo liquid handler by performing 10-point 1 / 3- fold serial dilutions in DMSO (for capivasertib) or 6-point 1 / 3-fold serial dilutions in DMSO (for Compound 1) to a final concentration of 500-fold the initial concentration in the final assay plate. For simultaneous dosing, compound dilutions in media were added to cells by dispensing 2 pL into cells plated the same day in 56 pL of culture media. Plates were placed in a 37 °C, 5% CO2 incubator.Following 7 days of incubation the cell culture media and inhibitors were replenished and incubated for an additional 4 days. For sequential dosing, Compound 1 dilutions in media were added to cells by dispensing 2 pL into cells plated the same day in 58 pL of culture media. Plates were placed in a 37 °C, 5% CO2 incubator. Following 7 days of incubation the cell culture media and inhibitors were replenished with compound dilutions containing both Compound 1 and capivasertib and incubated for an additional 4 days. Prior to performing the viability assay, plates were allowed to equilibrate at room temperature before the addition of 1: 1 ratio of CTG 2.0 using the Bravo liquid handler. The plates were sealed with a PerkinElmer TopSeal -A Plus plate seal and incubated at room temperature for 15 minutes before readingWSGR Ref. 47134-779.601 the luminescence on a plate reader (Clariostar-plus). The luminescence is a direct readout of the presence of ATP in the cells for measure of cell viability.
[0234] Data analysis: Data from the plate reader was transferred to a Microsoft Excel file and entered into GraphPad Prism. Curves were fitted with a four-parameter model and % Inhibition calculated by GraphPad Prism. DMSO wells were used to define the upper limit (0% inhibition). The degree of combination synergy, neutrality, or antagonism, was quantified by comparing the observed drug combination response against the expected response, calculated using a reference model that assumes no interaction between drugs using the SynergyFinder website (lanevski 2022). These models quantify the degree of synergy with different algorithms, either as the excess over the maximum single drug response (HSA), multiplicative effect of single drugs as if they acted independently (Bliss), or expected response corresponding to an additive effect as if the single drugs were the same compound (Loewe).
[0235] Results: The synergy scores measured for the combination of Compound 1 and capivasertib are set forth in Table 5.Table 5
