Abstract
Description
Attorney Docket No. 055745-562001WORAS AND PD-1 or PD-L1 INHIBITORS COMBINATION THERAPYCROSS-REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATIONS
[0001] The present disclosure claims the benefit of priority from US patent application No.63 / 721,078 filed on November 15, 2024, the contents of which are incorporated herein by reference in their entirety.BACKGROUND
[0002] The RAS-RAF-MEK-ERK signal transduction pathway, which is sometimes denoted as the mitogen-acti vated protein kinase (MAPK) pathway is thought to play a central role in regulating a number of fundamental cellular processes including one or more of cell proliferation, survival, adhesion, cycle progression, migration, differentiation, metabolism, and transcription. The activation of the MAPK pathway has been reported in numerous tumor types including lung, colon, pancreatic, renal, and ovarian cancers. Accordingly, substances that could reduce activation could be of interest for possible treatments. Programmed cell death protein-1 (PD-1, Pdcdl), an inhibitory receptor in the immune response phase, was first identified in the early 1990s as a member of the CD28 / CTLA-4 family of immunoglobulin (1g) superfamily. PD-1 is a type I transmembrane protein with a size of SO-55 kDa, induced in a variety of hematopoietic cells in the peripheral blood and widely expressed in immune cells (T cells, B cells, macrophages, and certain types of dendritic cells, etc.) and tumor cells by antigen receptor signaling and cytokines.
[0003] PD-1 and PD-L1 inhibitors are important immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) for the treatment of cancer after the discovery of cytotoxic T lymphocyte-associated antigen-4 (CTLA-4).
[0004] Under normal circumstances, the immune system produces an anti-cancer immune response by executing cancer immunity cycle that kills cancer cells. And yet, the PD-1 / PD-L1 pathway is an adaptive immune resistance mechanism of tumor cells to endogenous immune anti-tumor activity. PD-l / PD-ligand interaction down-regulates the immune response during the regression of infection or tumor or the development of self-tolerance. PD-L1 is usually overexpressed in tumor cells or untransformed cells in tumor microenvironment and inhibits cytotoxic T cells by binding to PD-1 receptor on activated T cells, resulting in immune escape. The inhibitors of PD-1 and PD-L1 inhibit the interaction between PD-L1 and PD-1 receptor, preventing cancer cells from evading the immune system in this way and acting as ICIs by reactivating the T-cell-mediated tumor cell death process.SUMMARY
[0005] The present embodiments disclosed herein generally relate to compositions and methods related to combination therapies to treat cancer utilizing either a KRAS selective inhibitor or a Pan-Attorney Docket No. 055745-562001WORAS inhibitor in conjunction with a PD-1 or PD-L1 inhibitor while providing an unexpected degree of synergy.
