Description

Uses of Bruton's tyrosine kinase inhibitors Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the field of pharmaceutical technology, specifically relating to the use of Bruton's tyrosine kinase inhibitors. Background Technology

[0002] B-cell malignancies account for nearly 90% of all non-Hodgkin lymphomas (NHL), characterized by abnormal growth and clonal proliferation of B lymphocytes. Among the various subtypes of B-NHL, diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL), mantle cell lymphoma (MCL), marginal zone lymphoma (MZL), follicular lymphoma (FL), and Waldenström macroglobulinemia are prominent. Macroglobulinemia (WM) is the most common.

[0003] The B cell receptor (BCR) signaling pathway plays a crucial role in the regulation of cell proliferation, cell survival, and adaptive immunity. LYN (Lck / Yes novel tyrosine kinase) and SYK (Spleen Tyrosine Kinase) recruit and activate PI3-kinase (PI3K), generating the second messenger phosphatidylinositol (3,4,5)-trisphosphate (PIP3) and recruiting BTK (Bruton's Tyrosine Kinase) to the plasma membrane. BTK phosphorylation mediated by LYN and SYK leads to the activation of the key downstream signaling effector phospholipase Cγ2 (PLCG2). PLCG2 mediates the production of the second messengers inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate (IP3) and diacylglycerol (DAG), which further induce the activation of several key signaling effectors: nuclear factor of activated T cells (NFAT), mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) / extracellular signal-regulated kinase (ERK), protein kinase C (PKC), and nuclear factor kappa-light-chain enhancer of activated B cells (NF-κB), thereby leading to cell proliferation and survival. Therefore, BCR signaling can promote disease development in the occurrence and progression of malignant B cells, ultimately manifesting as B-cell malignancies. Bruton's tyrosine kinase (BTK) is a non-receptor tyrosine kinase known to be an important component of BCR signaling. Therefore, inhibiting BTK is an attractive strategy for treating B-cell malignancies.

[0004] Ibrutinib, the first small-molecule BTK inhibitor approved by the FDA (Food and Drug Administration), is approved for the treatment of various relapsed / refractory (R / R) B-cell malignancies. It primarily inhibits BTK activity by irreversibly, covalently binding to the active site Cys-481. However, its dose-limiting toxicity (DLT) and hematologic toxicity limit its application. To reduce the off-target effects of ibrutinib, pharmaceutical companies have developed second-generation BTK inhibitors such as acalabrutinib, zanubrutinib, and orelabrutinib. These inhibitors share the same irreversible covalent mechanism as ibrutinib but offer higher selectivity and potency. However, they are prone to resistance mutations after treatment, leading to unsatisfactory treatment outcomes and difficulty in achieving complete remission in patients with B-cell malignancies.

[0005] Therefore, there remains a huge unmet need for the treatment of B-cell malignancies, especially for relapsed, refractory, and / or intolerant B-cell malignancies. Summary of the Invention

[0037] Invention Details

[0038] The “transformed lymphoma” described in this invention is broadly defined as the histological transformation process in which a low-grade malignant lymphoma develops into a high-grade malignant lymphoma. Lymphomas that undergo histological transformation are called transformed lymphomas (TL).

[0039] In this invention, "subject" and "patient" refer to mammals, preferably humans (male or female).

[0040] In this invention, "relapse" refers to disease progression that occurs 6 months or more after a subject or patient has achieved complete remission (CR) or partial remission (PR).

[0041] The term "refractory" as used in this invention refers to any of the following conditions: 1. Treatment failure; 2. Disease progression within 6 months after the last treatment; 3. Disease progression or pathological transformation after treatment within 6 months after achieving complete remission.

[0042] The term "treatment intolerance" or "intolerance" as used in this invention refers to the inability to continue treatment due to drug toxicity or other reasons.

[0043] The "pharmaceutically acceptable salts" described in this invention refer to pharmaceutically acceptable addition salts and solvates of acids and bases. Such pharmaceutically acceptable salts include salts of acids such as hydrochloric acid, phosphoric acid, hydrobromic acid, sulfuric acid, sulfurous acid, formic acid, toluenesulfonic acid, methanesulfonic acid, nitric acid, benzoic acid, citric acid, tartaric acid, maleic acid, hydroiodic acid, and alkanonic acids (such as acetic acid, HOOC-(CH2)n-COOH (where n = an integer from 0 to 4)). Such pharmaceutically acceptable salts also include salts of bases such as sodium, potassium, calcium, and ammonium. Those skilled in the art are familiar with a variety of non-toxic pharmaceutically acceptable addition salts.

[0044] The “crystal form” described in this invention can be prepared from the compound of formula (I) by conventional methods used in the art for preparing crystal forms.

[0045] The "isomers" of the compounds of formula (I) described in this invention include stereoisomers and tautomers.

[0046] The "stereoisomers" described in this invention refer to isomers produced by the different spatial arrangements of atoms in a molecule. When a compound contains asymmetric carbon atoms, enantiomers will be produced; when a compound contains carbon-carbon double bonds or cyclic structures, cis-trans isomers will be produced.

[0047] The "tautomers" described in this invention are isomers of different functional groups in a dynamic equilibrium that can rapidly interconvert, representing a special type of functional group isomerism. For example, the presence of ketones or oximes will produce tautomers, with representative examples including ketone-enol tautomers, phenol-ketone tautomers, nitroso-oxime tautomers, and imine-enamine tautomers.

[0048] All enantiomers, diastereomers, racemic isomers, cis-trans isomers, tautomers, geometric isomers, epimers, and mixtures thereof are included within the scope of this invention.

[0049] The "compound of formula (I)" described in this invention is prepared according to the method described in the published patent WO2020063012A1.

[0050] The "pharmaceutically acceptable carrier" as described in this invention refers to a carrier (or excipient) that does not cause significant irritation to the organism and does not eliminate the biological activity and properties of the applied compound. Any commonly used pharmaceutically acceptable carrier can be used, and its selection depends on factors such as the specific administration method, the carrier's effect on solubility and stability, and the nature of the dosage form, and is within the ordinary skill of those skilled in the art. Examples of pharmaceutically acceptable carriers include, but are not limited to: fillers (e.g., lactose, sucrose, mannitol or sorbitol, cellulose derivatives and / or calcium phosphate); binders (e.g., corn, wheat or potato starch, methylcellulose, hydroxypropyl methylcellulose, sodium carboxymethylcellulose and / or polyvinylpyrrolidone); disintegrants (e.g., starch, carboxymethyl starch, cross-linked polyvinylpyrrolidone, alginate or its salts); lubricants (e.g., silica, talc, stearic acid or its salts, and / or polyethylene glycol or its derivatives); diluents, wetting agents, colorants (dyes or pigments such as titanium dioxide, lacquer solutions), fragrances, absorption enhancers, surfactants, adsorbents, etc., such as gelatin, gum tragali, gum arabic, carbapenem gel, glycerin, sorbitol, liquid paraffin, liquid polyethylene glycol, fatty oils such as sesame oil, or synthetic fatty acid esters such as ethyl oleate or triglycerides, or liposomes.

[0051] The "standard treatment" described in this invention refers to a treatment method that is widely recognized and recommended for a specific disease or clinical condition based on scientific evidence and evidence-based medicine. This treatment approach typically undergoes clinical trials to verify its safety and effectiveness and is widely accepted and used by medical experts and practitioners. It is also known as best practice, standard medical care, or standard therapy. "Standard treatment" encompasses all standardized treatment protocols, including first-line, second-line, and third-line treatments.

[0052] The "first-line treatment plan" described in this invention refers to the preferred or best treatment plan after a patient is diagnosed. It is usually the most effective and safest plan and has the highest recommendation level in the treatment guidelines.

[0053] The "second-line treatment regimen" described in this invention refers to a treatment regimen that must be changed when first-line treatment is ineffective, drug resistance occurs, or adverse reactions are intolerable. The subsequent treatment regimen is called "second-line treatment".

[0054] Examples of "first-line treatment regimens" described in this invention (different types of B-cell malignancies may have similar or different regimens, which are not distinguished here): RCHOP regimen (rituximab + cyclophosphamide + doxorubicin / epirubicin + vincristine + prednisone), RCHOEP regimen (rituximab + cyclophosphamide + doxorubicin / epirubicin + vincristine + etoposide + prednisone), R-miniCHOP regimen (rituximab + reduced dose CHOP), DA-EPOCH-R regimen (rituximab + etoposide + prednisone + vincristine + cyclophosphamide + doxorubicin), Pola-R-CHP regimen (rituximab + velpoxetine + cyclophosphamide + doxorubicin + prednisone), CR-CHOP regimen (chidamide + rituximab + cyclophosphamide + doxorubicin / epirubicin + vincristine + prednisone), Hi- CHOP regimen (Zebutumab + Cyclophosphamide + Doxorubicin / Epirubicin + Vincristine + Prednisone), RCVP regimen (Rituximab + Cyclophosphamide + Vincristine + Prednisone), Rituximab + Bendamustine regimen, Rituximab + Lenalidomide regimen, Rituximab + Chlorambucil regimen, Oxtobitumab + Chlorambucil regimen, Oxtobitumab regimen, RDHAP regimen (Rituximab + Dexamethasone) +cisplatin + cytarabine), VR-CAP regimen (bortezomib + rituximab + cyclophosphamide + doxorubicin + prednisone), zanubrutinib regimen, orelabrutinib regimen, ibrutinib regimen, acomitinib regimen, veneclax + oxotuzumab regimen, ibrutinib + oxotuzumab regimen, acomitinib + oxotuzumab regimen, acomitinib + veneclax ± oxotuzumab regimen, fludarabine + cyclophosphamide + rituximab regimen

[0056] The “treatment” described in this invention may include neoadjuvant therapy and adjuvant therapy.

[0057] Neoadjuvant therapy refers to systemic treatment administered to patients with newly diagnosed tumors before planned surgery or surgery plus radiotherapy. Depending on the tumor type, neoadjuvant therapy may involve chemotherapy, endocrine therapy, targeted therapy, immunotherapy, or radiotherapy. The goal of neoadjuvant therapy is to provide immediate systemic treatment, potentially eradicating micrometastases that would otherwise proliferate in a standard sequence following surgery followed by systemic therapy. Neoadjuvant therapy can also help shrink tumor size, allowing for complete resection of tumors that were initially unresectable, or partial resection with preservation of organs and their functions. Furthermore, neoadjuvant therapy allows for in vivo assessment of drug efficacy, which can guide the selection of subsequent treatments.

[0058] "Adjuvant therapy" refers to treatment given after radical surgery (in which no evidence of residual disease can be detected) to eliminate any remaining cancer cells in the body, thereby reducing the likelihood of tumor recurrence or spread to other sites. The treatment methods are largely the same as neoadjuvant therapy. The goal of adjuvant therapy is to prevent cancer recurrence and, consequently, reduce the chance of cancer-related death. Neoadjuvant therapy is explicitly excluded from this discussion.

[0059] The "preventive / therapeutic effective amount" as described in this invention refers to the amount of the aforementioned compound or its pharmaceutically acceptable salts, isomers, or crystalline forms that, when administered to a subject / patient, at least prevent / alleviate the symptoms of the subject / patient's condition. The actual amount comprising the "preventive / therapeutic effective amount" will vary depending on various factors, including but not limited to the specific condition being prevented / treated, the severity of the condition, the patient's physical and health status, and the route of administration. For example, it may be administered as a single bolus, several fractions over time, or the dose may be proportionally reduced or increased as indicated by the urgency of the treatment situation. It should be noted that the dose value may vary depending on the type and severity of the condition to be alleviated, and may include single or multiple doses. For any given individual, the specific dosing regimen should be adjusted over time based on individual needs and the professional judgment of the person administering the composition or supervising the administration of the composition.

[0060] The objective response rate (ORR), particulate response (PR), and stable disease (SD) described in this invention are defined as the percentage of subjects achieving PR or CR after treatment; the disease control rate (DCR) is defined as the percentage of subjects achieving PR, CR, or SD after treatment; the duration of overall response (DOR), progression-free survival (PFS), and overall survival (OS) are evaluated according to different disease types of subjects. For CLL subjects, reference 1: 2018 IW CLL guidelines efficacy criteria; for all malignant lymphomas other than CLL and WM (including SLL), reference 2: Lugano 2014 lymphoma treatment efficacy evaluation criteria; for WM subjects, reference 3: Waldenström macroglobulinemia efficacy evaluation criteria (IWWM-7 consensus).

[0069] Studies have shown that the compound of formula (I) provided by this invention, or its pharmaceutically acceptable salts, isomers or crystal forms, have good therapeutic effects on B-cell malignancies, especially for relapsed, refractory and / or intolerable B-cell malignancies. Detailed Implementation

[0070] The following detailed description of specific embodiments further illustrates the above-described content of the present invention, but it should not be construed as limiting the scope of the subject matter of the present invention to the following embodiments. All technologies implemented based on the above-described content of the present invention fall within the scope of the present invention.

[0072] Example 1 is a clinical trial used to evaluate the safety and preliminary efficacy of the compound described in formula (I) in treating B-cell malignancies.

[0073] This trial is a multicenter, open-label, dose-escalation phase I trial designed to evaluate the safety and preliminary efficacy of compound (I) in adult subjects with B-cell malignancies.

[0074] 1. Inclusion Criteria: Patients with histologically or cytologically confirmed B-cell malignancies who have received ≥2 standard / conventional treatment regimens (combined or sequential) or 1 BTK inhibitor-containing treatment regimen, and who meet the definition of relapsed / refractory / treatment intolerant and have treatment indications. Details are as follows:

[0075] Chronic lymphocytic leukemia / small lymphocytic lymphoma (CLL / SLL);

[0076] Diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL);

[0077] B-cell lymphomas other than CLL / SLL and DLBCL, such as mantle cell lymphoma (MCL), Waldenström macroglobulinemia (WM), follicular lymphoma (FL), marginal zone lymphoma (MZL), and transformed lymphoma.

[0078] 2. This trial consists of two phases: dose escalation and dose expansion.

[0079] This trial employed a modified “3+3” dose escalation design to guide dose escalation and determine the dose extension recommended dose (DRDE). A starting dose of 50 mg was used, with the first dose group serving as the sentinel group and enrolling one subject. Subjects in the second and subsequent dose groups were then enrolled according to the standard “3+3” dose escalation design to determine the DRDE.

[0080] Once the DRDE is determined, the safety and preliminary efficacy of compound (I) observed in the dose escalation phase will be further validated in the dose extension phase.

[0081] The recommended dose for Phase II clinical trials (RP2D) will be determined based on the overall safety, efficacy, pharmacokinetics (PK), and pharmacodynamics (PD) of the dose escalation and dose expansion phases, after consensus among investigators, medical monitors, and sponsors.

[0082] Dosage escalation:

[0083] Pre-set dosages of 50 mg QD, 100 mg QD, 150 mg QD, 200 mg QD, 100 mg BID, 150 mg BID, and 200 mg BID.

[0084] Dose expansion:

[0085] Once the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) or a dose extension recommended dose (DRDE) is determined, enrollment in the dose extension group will begin at that DRDE dose level.

[0086] Compound (I) is administered daily for 28-day cycles until confirmed disease progression, intolerable toxicity, death, or withdrawal of informed consent occurs.

[0087] 3. Evaluation criteria: The evaluation criteria are based on the different disease types of the subjects. For CLL subjects, reference 1: 2018 IW CLL guidelines efficacy criteria; for all malignant lymphomas other than CLL and WM (including SLL), reference 2: Lugano 2014 lymphoma treatment efficacy evaluation criteria; for WM subjects, reference 3: Waldenström macroglobulinemia efficacy evaluation criteria (IWWM-7 consensus).

[0088] 4. Study endpoint:

[0089] Primary endpoint:

[0090] Dose-limiting toxicities (DLTs) of compound (I), dose-extended recommended dose (DRDE) of compound (I), and maximum tolerated dose (MTD) for treatment with compound (I).

[0091] Secondary endpoint:

[0092] Safety: incidence and severity of adverse events (AEs), clinically significant abnormalities in laboratory test values ​​and vital signs, electrocardiogram (ECG), and changes in performance status of the Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG).

[0093] Pharmacokinetic parameters: AUC 0-t C max T max t 1 / 2z MRT, V z / F CL z / F .

[0094] Preliminary efficacy: Disease control rate (DCR), duration of response (DOR), progression-free survival (PFS), overall survival (OS), and recommended dose for Phase II clinical trials (RP2D).

[0095] 5. Efficacy evaluation:

[0096] The compound described in formula (I) has shown good therapeutic effects against B-cell malignancies. In this preliminary clinical trial, among 14 evaluable subjects, 3 achieved complete remission (CR) and 5 achieved partial remission (PR).
