[0002] METHODS OF TREATING CANCERS HAVING FBXW7 MUTATIONS
[0003] FIELD OF THE INVENTION
[0004] The invention relates to therapies using inhibitors of membrane associated tyrosine and threonine specific Cdc2 inhibitory kinase (Myt1) (gene name PKMYTT) to treat cancers having a truncating biallelic loss-of-function mutation ora loss-of-function missense mutation described herein.
[0005] BACKGROUND
[0006] F-box / WD Repeat-Containing Protein 7 (FBXW7) is one of the four subunits of the ubiquitin protein ligase complex (the “Skp, Cullin, F-box containing complex” or the “SCF” complex) and, through its F-box domain, imparts the SCF complex with protein-protein interactions. FBXW7 is particularly noted for binding to, and therefore promoting the ubiquitylation of, Cyclin E1 (CCNE1; encoded for by the CCNE1 gene). Some mutations to FBXW7 can lower the binding efficiency of FBXW7 to CCNE1, resulting in CCNE1 overexpression in cells. CCNE1 over-expression and / or FBXW7 loss-of-function is thought to drive tumorigenesis by inducing genome instability (e.g., increased origin firing, defective nucleotide pools, transcription-replication conflicts, and / or fork instability). The present disclosure highlights the discovery that specific mutations in FBXW7, particularly truncating biallelic loss-of-function mutations or loss-of-function missense mutations (e.g., missense mutations encoding an amino acid substitution selected from R465, R479, and / or R505), impart great sensitivity to cancer treatment with membrane-associated tyrosine and threonine-specific cdc2-inhibatory kinase (Myt1) inhibitors. This discovery addresses a need in the field for new anticancer therapeutic methods and, in particular, those targeting patient populations particularly susceptible to an anti-cancer therapy.
[0007] SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
[0008] In general, the present disclosure relates to the discovery of the susceptibility of cells (e.g., cancer cells, e.g., tumors) harboring (i) truncating biallelic loss-of-function mutations (e.g., cells harboring a truncating mutation in a first allele and a missense mutation in a second allele of the same gene, or cells harboring a truncating mutation in a first allele and a truncating mutation in a second allele of the same gene) or (ii) a loss-of-function missense mutations (e.g., missense mutations encoding an amino acid substitution selected from R465, R479, and / or R505) in genes which encode for F-box proteins (e.g., FBXW7, which encodes F-box / WD repeat containing protein (FBXW7)) to treatment with a membrane-associated tyrosine and threonine-specific cdc2-inhibatory kinase (Myt1) inhibitors. For example, the present disclosure highlights that the treatment of cancer cells having specific mutations in FBXW7 can increase the cells sensitivity to treatment with Myt1 inhibitors.

[0216] Definitions
[0217] The term “aberrant,” as used herein, refers to different from normal. When used to describe activity, aberrant refers to activity that is greater or less than a normal control or the average of normal non-diseased control samples. Aberrant activity may refer to an amount of activity that results in a disease, where returning the aberrant activity to a normal or non-disease-associated amount (e.g., by administering a compound or using a method as described herein), results in reduction of the disease or one or more disease symptoms.
[0218] The term “acyl,” as used herein, represents a group -C(=O)-R, where R is alkyl, alkenyl, alkynyl, cycloalkyl, cycloalkenyl, cycloalkynyl, aryl, heteroaryl, or heterocyclyl. Acyl may be optionally substituted as described herein for each respective R group.
[0219] The term “alkanoyl,” as used herein, represents a hydrogen or an alkyl group that is attached to the parent molecular group through a carbonyl group and is exemplified by formyl (i.e., a carboxyaldehyde group), acetyl, propionyl, butyryl, and iso-butyryl. Unsubstituted alkanoyl groups contain from 1 to 7 carbons. The alkanoyl group may be unsubstituted of substituted (e.g., optionally ATTORNEY DOCKET NO.: D0963.70010WO00

[0283] BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS FIG 1A is a stacked bar chart showing Cyclin E over-expression (e.g., H-Score >100) measured by immunohistochemistry (IHC) in biobank tissue samples unselected for lunresertib biomarkers.
[0284] FIG 1B is a table showing Cyclin E over-expression (e.g., H-Score >100) measured by immunohistochemistry (IHC) in baseline tissue samples collected from patients enrolled in National Clinical Trial (NCT) number: NCT04855656 (“MYTHIC”). Taken together with FIG. 1A, these data illustrate that selecting for lunresertib biomarkers, such as F-box / WD repeat containing protein (FBXW7) in colorectal cancer (CRC), can enrich for patients having Cyclin E protein over-expression.
[0285] FIG. 2 is a lollipop graph showing the frequency of mutations across the FBXW7 protein in patients enrolled in MYTHIC. This graph highlights three common arginine (R) hotspot mutations (R465, R479, and R505) within the third and fourth WD40 repeats that disrupt recognition of the Cyclin E1 substrate and are classified as deleterious, missense mutations. Also indicated are several truncating, inframe, and splice site mutations that span FBXW7.
[0286] FIG 3 provides a set of box plots showing Cyclin E protein expression stratified by groups of FBXW7 loss-of-fu notion (LoF) quality in non-gynecological (left) and CRC (right) patients enrolled in MYTHIC. “High” confidence FBXW7 mutations include hotspots mutations (R465, R479, R505) and biallelic truncations. “Low” FBXW7 mutations include monoallelic truncations, missense, and splice mutations. Non-hotspot mutations where allelic status is indeterminate, or biallelic missense and splice mutations are classified as “unknown.” Non-gynecological cancers include all indications except for ovarian and endometrial cancers. These data illustrate that hotspots mutations (R465, R479, R505) and biallelic truncation mutations result in high Cyclin E accumulation.
[0287] FIG 4 is a graph showing the duration of on-treatment for CRC patients treated with lunresertib (RP-6306) in combination with camonsertib (RP-3500) in MYTHIC, stratified by FBXW7 LoF quality. High and low Cyclin E protein expression levels measured by IHC are annotated.
[0288] FIG 5A is a western blot image showing increased Cyclin E1 accumulation in retinal RPE1 cell lines following FBXW7 truncation by clustered regularly interspaced short palindromic repeats (CRISPR)-mediated base editing (CRISPR-BE), relative to control guide (sgPLK1silent). Biallelic status of these truncations were independently confirmed (data not shown).
[0289] FIG. 5B is a quantification of the western blot in FIG. 5A.
[0290] FIG. 5C is a growth curve showing that FBXW7 truncations in RPE1 cell lines increased their sensitivity to lunresertib (RP-6306) treatment. Biallelic status of these truncations were independently confirmed (data not shown).
[0291] FIG 5D is a western blot image showing increased Cyclin E1 accumulation in colorectal DLD1 cell lines following FBXW7 truncation by CRISPR-BE, relative to control guide (sgPLK1silent). Biallelic status of these truncations were independently confirmed (data not shown).

[0294] FIG. 6 is a schematic illustrating a working hypothesis of the effect of FBXW7 LoF quality on Cyclin E accumulation. As illustrated, only hotspot FBXW7 missense and biallelic truncating mutations cause true LoF.

[0295] DETAILED DESCRIPTION
[0296] In general, the present disclosure relates to the discovery of the susceptibility of cells (e.g., cancer cells, e.g., tumors) harboring mutations in genes which encode for F-box proteins (e.g., FBXW7, which encodes F-box / WD repeat containing protein (FBXW7)) to treatment with a membrane-associated tyrosine and threonine-specific cdc2-inhibatory kinase (Myt1) inhibitors. For example, the present disclosure highlights that the treatment of cancer cells having specific mutations in FBXW7 can increase the cells sensitivity to treatment with Myt1 inhibitors. Advantageously, Applicant discovered that cancer cells containing truncating biallelic loss-of-function mutations in FBXW7 are particularly susceptible to Myt1 inhibitors. Exemplary truncating biallelic loss-of-function mutations are: (i) a truncating mutation on a first FBXW7 allele and a missense mutation (e.g., hotspot mutation) on a second FBXW7 allele; (ii) a truncating mutation on a first FBXW7 allele and a truncating mutation on a second FBXW7 allele; (iii) a truncating mutation on a first allele and a partial or complete deletion of the second FBXW7 allele.
[0297] The methods described herein are useful for the treatment of cells (e.g., cancer cells) having, for example, a truncating biallelic loss-of-function mutation in FBXW7. Such cells may be treated by a drug (e.g., an Myt1 inhibitor, e.g., any one of compounds 1 to 328) or combination of drugs described herein. Accordingly, cancers harboring a FBXW7 mutation may be particularly susceptible to treatment with a Myt1 inhibitor (e.g., any one of compounds 1 to 328 described herein). Methods of identifying truncating biallelic loss-of-function mutations and treating cancer in a subject with a Myt1 inhibitor (e.g., as a mono- or combinatorial therapy) are described further below.
[0298] Truncating Biallelic Loss-of-function Mutations
[0299] The methods described herein may be utilized on cells (e.g., cancer cells) that have or are suspected of having a truncating biallelic loss-of-function mutation in a gene encoding an F-box protein. A truncating biallelic loss-of-function mutation is a biallelic mutation (e.g., both alleles of a single gene are mutated) that produces a loss-of-function (e.g., an elimination of an active form of a target gene). The biallelic mutation includes a truncating mutation (e.g., a nonsense, nonstop, frameshift, or splice site mutation) on one allele. The biallelic mutation may further include a missense (e.g., non-synonymous or non-conservative) mutation, another truncating mutation on the other allele of the same gene, or loss-of-heterozygosity of the gene. For example, a truncating biallelic loss-of-function mutation in FBXW7 may include a truncating mutation on a first FBXW7 allele and a missense (e.g., non-conservative) mutation on a second FBXW7 allele in a subject’s cell (e.g., a cancer cell). In another example, a truncating biallelic loss-of-function mutation in FBXW7 may include a truncating mutation on a first FBXW7 allele and a truncating mutation on a second FBXW7 allele in a subject’s cell (e.g., a cancer cell). In yet another example, a truncating biallelic loss-of- ATTORNEY DOCKET NO.: D0963.70010WO00
[0300] function mutation in FBXW7 may include a truncating mutation on the first FBXW7 allele and a deletion of the second allele (referred to as loss-of-heterozygosity) in a subject’s cell. In yet another example, a truncating biallelic loss-of-function mutation in FBXW7 may include a truncating mutation on the first FBXW7 allele and a partial or complete deletion of the second allele in a subject’s cell.
[0301] Truncating mutations may produce a premature stop codon in the coding region of a gene or splice variant of a gene, resulting in a gene product (e.g., an mRNA and / or a polypeptide) that is shorter than wild type. A shorter gene product (e.g. an mRNA and / or a polypeptide) may lose some or all its function and / or be degraded by the cell, thereby producing a loss-of-function of the gene and its products. Exemplary stop codons include UAG, UAA, and UGA (in the context of mRNA) or TAG, TAA, and TGA (in the context of DNA).
[0302] Truncating mutations of a truncating biallelic loss-of-function mutation may produce a gene product (e.g., an mRNA or a polypeptide) that is at least 5%, 10%, 20%, 30%, 40%, 50%, 60%, 70%, 80%, 90%, or 95% shorter than a wild type gene product. For example, a truncating mutation in FBXW7 may produce an mRNA or polypeptide sequence that is at least 5%, 10%, 20%, 30%, 40%, 50%, 60%, 70%, 80%, 90%, or 95% shorter than a wild type FBXW7 mRNA or polypeptide sequence.
[0303] In another example, a truncating mutation in FBXW7 may produce an mRNA sequence that is less than 10 nucleotides, less than 50 nucleotides, less than 100 nucleotides, less than 150 nucleotides, less than 200 nucleotides, less than 250 nucleotides, less than 300 nucleotides, less than 350 nucleotides, less than 400 nucleotides, less than 450 nucleotides, less than 500 nucleotides, less than 550 nucleotides, less than 600 nucleotides, less than 650 nucleotides, less than 700 nucleotides, less than 750 nucleotides, less than 800 nucleotides, less than 850 nucleotides, less than 900 nucleotides, less than 950 nucleotides, less than 1000 nucleotides, less than 1050 nucleotides, less than 1100 nucleotides, less than 1150 nucleotides, less than 1200 nucleotides, less than 1250 nucleotides, less than 1300 nucleotides, less than 1350 nucleotides, less than 1400 nucleotides, less than 1450 nucleotides, less than 1500 nucleotides, less than 1550 nucleotides, less than 1600 nucleotides, less than 1650 nucleotides, less than 1700 nucleotides, less than 1750 nucleotides, less than 1800 nucleotides, less than 1850 nucleotides, less than 1900 nucleotides, or less than 1950 nucleotides in length.
[0304] In another example, a truncating mutation in FBXW7 may produce an mRNA sequence that is 50-1900 nucleotides, 50-1800 nucleotides, 50-1700 nucleotides, 50-1600 nucleotides, 50-1500 nucleotides, 50-1400 nucleotides, 50-1300 nucleotides, 50-1200 nucleotides, 100-1850 nucleotides, 150-1800 nucleotides, 200-1750 nucleotides, 250-1700 nucleotides, 300-1650 nucleotides, 350-1600 nucleotides, 400-1550 nucleotides, 450-1500 nucleotides, 500-1450 nucleotides, 550-1400 nucleotides, 600-1350 nucleotides, 650-1300 nucleotides, or 700-1250 nucleotides in length.
[0305] In another example, a truncating mutation in FBXW7 may produce a polypeptide sequence that is less than 50 amino acids, less than 100 amino acids, less than 150 amino acids, less than 200 amino acids, less than 250 amino acids, less than 300 amino acids, less than 350 amino acids, less than 400 amino acids, less than 450 amino acids, less than 500 amino acids, less than 550 amino acids, less than 600 amino acids, less than 650 amino acids, or less than 700 amino acids in length. ATTORNEY DOCKET NO.: D0963.70010WO00
[0306] In another example, a truncating mutation in FBXW7 may produce a protein sequence that is 50-600 amino acids, 50-550 amino acids, 50-500 amino acids, 50-450 amino acids, 50-400 amino acids, 50-350 amino acids, 50-300 amino acids, 50-250 amino acids, 50-200 amino acids, 50-150 amino acids, 50-100 amino acids, 100-600 amino acids, 150-550 amino acids, 200-500 amino acids, 250-450 amino acids, or 300-400 amino acids in length.
[0307] Non-limiting examples of truncating mutations in FBXW7 may lead to truncations at positions p. Q306*, p. R393*, p. R479*, p. S546* and / or p. W486* of an FBXW7 polypeptide.
[0308] Missense mutations change the nucleotide sequence of a codon such that the codon encodes a different amino acid. For example, the codon “GTG” encodes the amino acid valine. A missense mutation changing the thymine (T) to a cytosine
[0309]
[0310] (C) (e.g., “GTG” “GCG”) would instead encode the amino acid alanine. Missense mutation may lose some or all of its function and / or be degraded by the cell, thereby producing a loss-of-function of the gene. Missense mutations of a truncating biallelic loss-of-function mutation may occur anywhere along the coding region of a gene. In some embodiments of the invention, the missense mutation is at a codon that encodes an arginine (R). Exemplary arginine codons include CGU, CGC, CGA, CGG, AGA, and AGG (in the context of mRNA) or CGT, CGC, CGA, CGG, AGA, and AGG (in the context of DNA). In some embodiments of the invention, at least one, at least two, or three missense mutations encodes for an amino acid substitution at R465, R479, and / or R505 of an FBXW7 polypeptide.
[0311] In other embodiments of the invention, the missense mutation is at a codon that encodes an alanine (A). In other embodiments of the invention, the missense mutation is at a codon that encodes an asparagine (N). In other embodiments of the invention, the missense mutation is at a codon that encodes an aspartate (D).

[0312] Identification of Mutations
[0313] The methods of the present disclosure may include the step of identifying a cell (e.g., a cancer cell) as having a truncating biallelic loss-of-function mutation in an F-box-encoding gene (e.g., FBXW7). Any sequencing technique known in the field may be used to identify a cell as having a truncating biallelic loss-of-function mutation in an F-box-encoding gene (e.g., FBXW7). For example, identifying a cancer cell as having a truncating biallelic loss-of-function mutation in FBXW7 can include any next generation sequencing (NGS) technique known in the art, such as targeted panel sequencing, whole genome sequencing (WGS) and Whole Exome Sequencing (WES).
[0314] By way of example, identifying a cancer cell as having a truncating biallelic loss-of-function mutation in FBXW7 may include a step of determining from read counts for a plurality of single nucleotide variants (SNVs) including homozygous and heterozygous SNVs obtained from sequencing a sample including the cancer cell and from reference read counts and determining an integer total copy number of a locus segment within a target gene (e.g., FBXW7) region in a cancer cell from the subject or in the cancer cell and / or two integer allele-specific copy numbers of the locus segment.
[0315] The cancer may then be identified as having a truncating biallelic loss-of-function mutation (e.g., in FBXW7) if it has at least one truncation mutation described as introduction of a stop codon, or shift in protein frame and one of the following: (a) the integer total copy number is > 0, and the integer allele-specified copy number is 0 (e.g., at the locus where the FBXW7-inactivating mutation is found) leading to loss-of-heterozygosity; or (b) a mutation of any type (e.g., missense, truncation, or splice-sire mutation) in the other allele of FBXW7. When the integer total copy number and the integer allelespecific copy numbers are 0, the detected mutation is a homozygous deletion and will also be considered a truncating biallelic loss-of-function.
[0316] For example, the step of determining allelic status may include: from read counts for the plurality of SNVs including homozygous and heterozygous SNVs obtained from sequencing a sample including the cancer cell and from reference read counts, determining total copy number log-ratios, allelic copy number log-odds ratios, and target coverage values for the heterozygous SNVs; segmenting the total copy number log-ratios and the allelic copy number log-odds ratios; estimating sample purity and sample ploidy for the cancer cell from the total copy number log-ratios and the target coverage values; and from the target coverage values, the sample purity, the sample ploidy, the total copy number log-ratios, and the allelic copy number log-odds ratios, generating an integer total copy number of a segment including a plurality of heterozygous single nucleotide variants (SNVs) within the FBXW7 gene region in the cancer cell and two integer allele-specific copy numbers of the segment. Typically, the cell from the subject is provided as a biopsy. Read counts may be obtained using next generation sequencing of the cells in the sample with or without a panel of normal samples.
[0317] Additional methods for identifying cancers as having a biallelic loss-of-function mutation are known in the art (see, e.g., WO2018 / 039463, WO2019 / 020652, and WO2022 / 226655, the methods of which are incorporated herein by reference). ATTORNEY DOCKET NO.: D0963.70010WO00

[0424] The methods of the invention include (where possible) individual diastereomers, enantiomers, epimers, and atropisomers of the compounds disclosed herein, and mixtures of diastereomers and / or enantiomers thereof including racemic mixtures. Although the specific stereochemistries disclosed herein are preferred, other stereoisomers, including diastereomers, enantiomers, epimers, atropisomers, and mixtures of these may also have utility in treating Myt1 -mediated diseases. Inactive or less active diastereoisomers and enantiomers may be useful, e.g., for scientific studies relating to the receptor and the mechanism of activation.
[0425] It is understood that certain molecules can exist in multiple tautomeric forms. This invention includes all tautomers even though only one tautomer may be indicated in the examples.
[0426] The invention also includes pharmaceutically acceptable salts of the compounds, and pharmaceutical compositions that contain the compounds and a pharmaceutically acceptable carrier. The compounds are especially useful, e.g., in certain kinds of cancer and for slowing the progression of cancer once it has developed in a patient.
[0427] The compounds disclosed herein may be used in pharmaceutical compositions including (a) the compound(s) or pharmaceutically acceptable salts thereof, and (b) a pharmaceutically acceptable carrier. The compounds may be used in pharmaceutical compositions that include one or more other active pharmaceutical ingredients. The compounds may also be used in pharmaceutical compositions ATTORNEY DOCKET NO.: D0963.70010WO00
[0428] in which the compound disclosed herein or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof is the only active ingredient.
[0429] Optical Isomers - Diastereomers - Geometric Isomers - Tautomers
[0430] Compounds disclosed herein may contain, e.g., one or more stereogenic centers and can occur as racemates, racemic mixtures, single enantiomers, individual diastereomers, and mixtures of diastereomers and / or enantiomers. The invention includes all such isomeric forms of the compounds disclosed herein. It is intended that all possible stereoisomers (e.g., enantiomers and / or diastereomers) in mixtures and as pure or partially purified compounds are included within the scope of this invention (i.e., all possible combinations of the stereogenic centers as pure compounds or in mixtures).
[0431] Some of the compounds described herein may contain bonds with hindered rotation such that two separate rotomers, or atropisomers, may be separated and found to have different biological activity which may be advantageous. It is intended that all of the possible atropisomers are included within the scope of this invention.
[0432] Some of the compounds described herein may contain olefinic double bonds, and unless specified otherwise, are meant to include both E and Z geometric isomers.
[0433] Some of the compounds described herein may exist with different points of attachment of hydrogen, referred to as tautomers. An example is a ketone and its enol form, known as keto-enol tautomers. The individual tautomers as well as mixtures thereof are encompassed by the invention.
[0434] Compounds disclosed herein having one or more asymmetric centers may be separated into diastereoisomers, enantiomers, and the like by methods well known in the art.
[0435] Alternatively, enantiomers and other compounds with chiral centers may be synthesized by stereospecific synthesis using optically pure starting materials and / or reagents of known configuration.
[0436] Metabolites - Prodrugs
[0437] The invention includes therapeutically active metabolites, where the metabolites themselves fall within the scope of the claims. The invention also includes prodrugs, which are compounds that are converted to the claimed compounds as they are being administered to a patient or after they have been administered to a patient. The claimed chemical structures of this application in some cases may themselves be prodrugs.
[0438] Isotopically Enriched Derivatives
[0439] The invention includes molecules which have been isotopically enriched at one or more position within the molecule. Thus, compounds enriched for deuterium fall within the scope of the claims. ATTORNEY DOCKET NO.: D0963.70010WO00

[0968] Methods Of Treatment
[0969] The methods disclosed herein may be used to treat a cancer (e.g., colorectal cancer, uterine cancer, bladder cancer, cervical cancer, upper gastrointestinal cancer, ovarian cancer, or breast cancer) in a subject, the method including administering to the subject in need thereof a therapeutically effective amount of a Myt1 inhibitor. The cancer may be identified as having a truncating biallelic loss-of-fu notion mutation described herein. Alternatively, the cancer may have been previously identified as having a truncating biallelic loss-of-function mutation described herein.
[0970] The methods disclosed herein may be used to induce cell death in a cancer cell, the method including administering to the cell a therapeutically effective amount of a Myt1 inhibitor. The cancer cell may be identified as having a truncating biallelic loss-of-function mutation described herein. Alternatively, the cancer cell may have been previously identified as having a truncating biallelic loss-of-function mutation described herein.
[0971] In some instances, the methods disclosed herein may include the step of administering to the subject in need thereof a therapeutically effective amount of a membrane-associated tyrosine and threonine-specific cdc2 inhibitory kinase (Myt1) inhibitor and a therapeutically effective amount of a second therapeutic. The second therapeutic may be, e.g., Wee1 inhibitor, Fen1 inhibitor, Topi inhibitor, Rrm1 inhibitor, Rrm2 inhibitor, Aurkb inhibitor, Top2A inhibitor, ATR inhibitor, Ttk inhibitor, Sod1 inhibitor, Sod2 inhibitor, Bub1 inhibitor, Cdc7 inhibitor, Sae1 inhibitor, Plk1 inhibitor, Uba2 inhibitor, Dut inhibitor, Hdac3 inhibitor, Chekl inhibitor, Aurka inhibitor, Men1 inhibitor, Doti I inhibitor, Crebbp inhibitor, Ezh2 inhibitor, Plk4 inhibitor, Haspin inhibitor, Mettl3 inhibitor, nucleoside analog, platinum-based DNA damaging agent, or a combination thereof.
[0972] Administration of a Myt1 inhibitor to a subject with a cancer which has been previously identified as having a truncating biallelic loss-of-function mutation, or a cancer known to have a truncating biallelic loss-of-function mutation, may increase the susceptibility of the cancer to a replication stress inducing therapeutic (such as Myt1). This may result in premature mitosis of a cell, resulting in a daughter cell or daughter cells which may be unviable (e.g., due to induced DNA breaks or chromosome pulverization), ultimately resulting in the death of the cancer cell. In some embodiment, inducing the replication stress of the cancer cell may be increased by administering a second therapeutic (e.g., a Wee1 inhibitor, a Fen1 inhibitor, a Topi inhibitor, an Rrm1 inhibitor, an Rrm2 inhibitor, an Aurkb inhibitor, a Top2A inhibitor, an ATR inhibitor, a Ttk inhibitor, an Sod1 inhibitor, an Sod2 inhibitor, a Bub1 inhibitor, a Cdc7 inhibitor, an Sae1 inhibitor, a Plk1 inhibitor, a Uba2 inhibitor, a Dut inhibitor, an Hdac3 inhibitor, a Chekl inhibitor, an Aurka inhibitor, a Men1 inhibitor, a Doti I inhibitor, a Crebbp inhibitor, an Ezh2 inhibitor, a Plk4 inhibitor, an Haspin inhibitor, a Mettl3 inhibitor, a nucleoside analog, a platinum-based DNA damaging agent, or a combination thereof). ATTORNEY DOCKET NO.: D0963.70010WO00
[0973] Compounds disclosed herein may be administered by a route selected from the group consisting of oral, sublingual, buccal, transdermal, intradermal, intramuscular, parenteral, intravenous, intra-arterial, intracranial, subcutaneous, intraorbital, intraventricular, intraspinal, intraperitoneal, intranasal, inhalation, intratumoral, and topical administration.
[0974] In some embodiments, the Myt1 inhibitor is administered before the second agent (e.g., within 1 week, within 6 days, within 5 days, within 4 days, within 3 days, within 2 days, within 1 day, or within 12 hours). In some embodiments, the Myt1 inhibitor is administered after the second agent (e.g., within 1 week, within 6 days, within 5 days, within 4 days, within 3 days, within 2 days, within 1 day, or within 12 hours). In some embodiments, the Myt1 inhibitor is co-administered with the second agent. In some embodiments, the Myt1 inhibitor is administered intermittently (e.g., 1 day / week, 2 days / week, or 3 days / week). In some embodiments, the second agent is administered on a continuous daily basis.
[0975] Pharmaceutical Compositions
[0976] The compounds used in the methods described herein are preferably formulated into pharmaceutical compositions for administration to human subjects in a biologically compatible form suitable for administration in vivo. Pharmaceutical compositions typically include a compound as described herein and a pharmaceutically acceptable excipient. Certain pharmaceutical compositions may include one or more additional pharmaceutically active agents described herein.
[0977] The compounds described herein can also be used in the form of the free base, in the form of salts, zwitterions, solvates, or as prodrugs, or pharmaceutical compositions thereof. All forms are within the scope of the invention. The compounds, salts, zwitterions, solvates, prodrugs, or pharmaceutical compositions thereof, may be administered to a patient in a variety of forms depending on the selected route of administration, as will be understood by those skilled in the art. The compounds used in the methods described herein may be administered, for example, by oral, parenteral, buccal, sublingual, nasal, rectal, patch, pump, or transdermal administration, and the pharmaceutical compositions formulated accordingly. Parenteral administration includes intravenous, intraperitoneal, subcutaneous, intramuscular, transepithelial, nasal, intrapulmonary, intrathecal, rectal, and topical modes of administration. Parenteral administration may be by continuous infusion over a selected period of time.
[0978] For human use, a compound of the invention can be administered alone or in admixture with a pharmaceutical carrier selected with regard to the intended route of administration and standard pharmaceutical practice. Pharmaceutical compositions for use in accordance with the present invention thus can be formulated in a conventional manner using one or more physiologically acceptable carriers including excipients and auxiliaries that facilitate processing of a compound of the invention into preparations which can be used pharmaceutically.
[0979] This invention also includes methods of administering pharmaceutical compositions which can contain one or more pharmaceutically acceptable carriers. In making the pharmaceutical compositions of the invention, the active ingredient is typically mixed with an excipient, diluted by an excipient, or enclosed within such a carrier in the form of, for example, a capsule, sachet, paper, or ATTORNEY DOCKET NO.: D0963.70010WO00
[0980] other container. When the excipient serves as a diluent, it can be a solid, semisolid, or liquid material (e.g., normal saline), which acts as a vehicle, carrier or medium for the active ingredient. Thus, the compositions can be in the form of tablets, powders, lozenges, sachets, cachets, elixirs, suspensions, emulsions, solutions, syrups, and soft and hard gelatin capsules. As is known in the art, the type of diluent can vary depending upon the intended route of administration. The resulting compositions can include additional agents, e.g., preservatives.
[0981] The excipient or carrier is selected on the basis of the mode and route of administration. Suitable pharmaceutical carriers, as well as pharmaceutical necessities for use in pharmaceutical formulations, are described in Remington: The Science and Practice of Pharmacy, 21st Ed., Gennaro, Ed., Lippincott Williams & Wilkins (2005), a well-known reference text in this field, and in the USP / NF (United States Pharmacopeia and the National Formulary). Examples of suitable excipients are lactose, dextrose, sucrose, sorbitol, mannitol, starches, gum acacia, calcium phosphate, alginates, tragacanth, gelatin, calcium silicate, microcrystalline cellulose, polyvinylpyrrolidone, cellulose, water, syrup, and methyl cellulose. The formulations can additionally include: lubricating agents, e.g., talc, magnesium stearate, and mineral oil; wetting agents; emulsifying and suspending agents; preserving agents, e.g., methyl- and propylhydroxy-benzoates; sweetening agents; and flavoring agents. Other exemplary excipients are described in Handbook of Pharmaceutical Excipients, 6th Edition, Rowe et al., Eds., Pharmaceutical Press (2009).
[0982] These pharmaceutical compositions can be manufactured in a conventional manner, e.g., by conventional mixing, dissolving, granulating, dragee-making, levigating, emulsifying, encapsulating, entrapping, or lyophilizing processes. Methods well known in the art for making formulations are found, for example, in Remington: The Science and Practice of Pharmacy, 21st Ed., Gennaro, Ed., Lippincott Williams & Wilkins (2005), and Encyclopedia of Pharmaceutical Technology, eds. J.
[0983] Swarbrickand J. C. Boylan, 1988-1999, Marcel Dekker, New York. Proper formulation is dependent upon the route of administration chosen. The formulation and preparation of such compositions is well-known to those skilled in the art of pharmaceutical formulation. In preparing a formulation, the active compound can be milled to provide the appropriate particle size prior to combining with the other ingredients. If the active compound is substantially insoluble, it can be milled to a particle size of less than 200 mesh. If the active compound is substantially water soluble, the particle size can be adjusted by milling to provide a substantially uniform distribution in the formulation, e.g., about 40 mesh.
[0984] Dosages
[0985] The dosage of the compound used in the methods described herein, or pharmaceutically acceptable salts or prodrugs thereof, or pharmaceutical compositions thereof, can vary depending on many factors, e.g., the pharmacodynamic properties of the compound; the mode of administration; the age, health, and weight of the recipient; the nature and extent of the symptoms; the frequency of the treatment, and the type of concurrent treatment, if any; and the clearance rate of the compound in the animal to be treated. One of skill in the art can determine the appropriate dosage based on the above factors. The compounds used in the methods described herein may be administered initially in a ATTORNEY DOCKET NO.: D0963.70010WO00
[0986] suitable dosage that may be adjusted as required, depending on the clinical response. In some embodiments, a suitable daily dose of a compound of the invention will be that amount of the compound that is the lowest dose effective to produce a therapeutic effect. In some embodiments, an effective dose is a subtherapeutic dose relative to the monotherapy. Such an effective dose will generally depend upon the factors described above.
[0987] A compound of the invention may be administered to the patient in a single dose or in multiple doses. When multiple doses are administered, the doses may be separated from one another by, for example, 1-24 hours, 1-7 days, 1-4 weeks, or 1-12 months. The compound may be administered according to a schedule or the compound may be administered without a predetermined schedule. An active compound may be administered, for example, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, or 12 times per day, every 2nd, 3rd, 4th, 5th, or 6th day, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, or 7 times per week, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, or 6 times per month, or 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, or 12 times per year. It is to be understood that, for any particular subject, specific dosage regimes should be adjusted overtime according to the individual need and the professional judgment of the person administering or supervising the administration of the compositions.
[0988] While the attending physician ultimately will decide the appropriate amount and dosage regimen, an effective amount of a compound of the invention may be, for example, a total daily dosage of, e.g., between 0.05 mg and 3000 mg of any of the compounds described herein.
[0989] Alternatively, the dosage amount can be calculated using the body weight of the patient. Such dose ranges may include, for example, between 10-1000 mg (e.g., 50-800 mg). In some embodiments, 50, 100, 150, 200, 250, 300, 350, 400, 450, 500, 550, 600, 650, 700, 750, 800, 850, 900, 950, or 1000 mg of the compound is administered.
[0990] In the methods of the invention, the time period during which multiple doses of a compound of the invention are administered to a patient can vary. For example, in some embodiments, doses of the compounds of the invention are administered to a patient over a time period that is 1-7 days; 1-12 weeks; or 1-3 months. In some embodiments, the compounds are administered to the patient over a time period that is, for example, 4-11 months or 1-30 years. In some embodiments, the compounds are administered to a patient at the onset of symptoms. In any of these embodiments, the amount of compound that is administered may vary during the time period of administration. When a compound is administered daily, administration may occur, for example, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, or 12 times per day.
[0991] Formulations
[0992] A compound identified as capable of treating any of the conditions described herein, using any of the methods described herein, may be administered to patients or animals with a pharmaceutically-acceptable diluent, carrier, or excipient, in unit dosage form. The chemical compounds for use in such therapies may be produced and isolated by any standard technique known to those in the field of medicinal chemistry. Conventional pharmaceutical practice may be employed to provide suitable formulations or compositions to administer the identified compound to ATTORNEY DOCKET NO.: D0963.70010WO00
[0993] patients suffering from a disease or condition. Administration may begin before the patient is symptomatic.
[0994] Exemplary routes of administration of the compounds (e.g., a compound of the invention), or pharmaceutical compositions thereof, used in the present invention include oral, sublingual, buccal, transdermal, intradermal, intramuscular, parenteral, intravenous, intra-arterial, intracranial, subcutaneous, intraorbital, intraventricular, intraspinal, intraperitoneal, intranasal, inhalation, and topical administration. The compounds desirably are administered with a pharmaceutically acceptable carrier. Pharmaceutical formulations of the compounds described herein formulated for treatment of the disorders described herein are also part of the present invention.
[0995] Formulations for Oral Administration
[0996] The pharmaceutical compositions contemplated by the invention include those formulated for oral administration (“oral dosage forms”). Oral dosage forms can be, for example, in the form of tablets, capsules, a liquid solution or suspension, a powder, or liquid or solid crystals, which contain the active ingredient(s) in a mixture with non-toxic pharmaceutically acceptable excipients. These excipients may be, for example, inert diluents or fillers (e.g., sucrose, sorbitol, sugar, mannitol, microcrystalline cellulose, starches including potato starch, calcium carbonate, sodium chloride, lactose, calcium phosphate, calcium sulfate, or sodium phosphate); granulating and disintegrating agents (e.g., cellulose derivatives including microcrystalline cellulose, starches including potato starch, croscarmellose sodium, alginates, or alginic acid); binding agents (e.g., sucrose, glucose, sorbitol, acacia, alginic acid, sodium alginate, gelatin, starch, pregelatinized starch, microcrystalline cellulose, magnesium aluminum silicate, carboxymethylcellulose sodium, methylcellulose, hydroxypropyl methylcellulose, ethylcellulose, polyvinylpyrrolidone, or polyethylene glycol); and lubricating agents, glidants, and antiadhesives (e.g., magnesium stearate, zinc stearate, stearic acid, silicas, hydrogenated vegetable oils, or talc). Other pharmaceutically acceptable excipients can be colorants, flavoring agents, plasticizers, humectants, buffering agents, and the like.
[0997] Formulations for oral administration may also be presented as chewable tablets, as hard gelatin capsules where the active ingredient is mixed with an inert solid diluent (e.g., potato starch, lactose, microcrystalline cellulose, calcium carbonate, calcium phosphate or kaolin), or as soft gelatin capsules where the active ingredient is mixed with water or an oil medium, for example, peanut oil, liquid paraffin, or olive oil. Powders, granulates, and pellets may be prepared using the ingredients mentioned above under tablets and capsules in a conventional manner using, e.g., a mixer, a fluid bed apparatus, or a spray drying equipment.
[0998] Controlled release compositions for oral use may be constructed to release the active drug by controlling the dissolution and / or the diffusion of the active drug substance. Any of a number of strategies can be pursued in order to obtain controlled release and the targeted plasma concentration versus time profile. In one example, controlled release is obtained by appropriate selection of various formulation parameters and ingredients, including, e.g., various types of controlled release compositions and coatings. Examples include single or multiple unit tablet or capsule compositions, oil solutions, suspensions, emulsions, microcapsules, microspheres, nanoparticles, patches, and ATTORNEY DOCKET NO.: D0963.70010WO00
[0999] liposomes. In some embodiments, compositions include biodegradable, pH, and / or temperaturesensitive polymer coatings.
[1000] Dissolution or diffusion-controlled release can be achieved by appropriate coating of a tablet, capsule, pellet, or granulate formulation of compounds, or by incorporating the compound into an appropriate matrix. A controlled release coating may include one or more of the coating substances mentioned above and / or, e.g., shellac, beeswax, glycowax, castor wax, carnauba wax, stearyl alcohol, glyceryl monostearate, glyceryl distearate, glycerol palmitostearate, ethylcellulose, acrylic resins, dl-polylactic acid, cellulose acetate butyrate, polyvinyl chloride, polyvinyl acetate, vinyl pyrrolidone, polyethylene, polymethacrylate, methylmethacrylate, 2-hydroxymethacrylate, methacrylate hydrogels, 1,3 butylene glycol, ethylene glycol methacrylate, and / or polyethylene glycols. In a controlled release matrix formulation, the matrix material may also include, e.g., hydrated methylcellulose, carnauba wax and stearyl alcohol, carbopol 934, silicone, glyceryl tristearate, methyl acrylate-methyl methacrylate, polyvinyl chloride, polyethylene, and / or halogenated fluorocarbon.
[1001] The liquid forms in which the compounds and compositions of the present invention can be incorporated for administration orally include aqueous solutions, suitably flavored syrups, aqueous or oil suspensions, and flavored emulsions with edible oils, e.g., cottonseed oil, sesame oil, coconut oil, or peanut oil, as well as elixirs and similar pharmaceutical vehicles.
[1002] Formulations for Parenteral Administration
[1003] The compounds described herein for use in the methods of the invention can be administered in a pharmaceutically acceptable parenteral (e.g., intravenous or intramuscular) formulation as described herein. The pharmaceutical formulation may also be administered parenterally (intravenous, intramuscular, subcutaneous or the like) in dosage forms or formulations containing conventional, non-toxic pharmaceutically acceptable carriers and adjuvants. In particular, formulations suitable for parenteral administration include aqueous and non-aqueous sterile injection solutions which may contain anti-oxidants, buffers, bacteriostats and solutes which render the formulation isotonic with the blood of the intended recipient; and aqueous and non-aqueous sterile suspensions which may include suspending agents and thickening agents. For example, to prepare such a composition, the compounds of the invention may be dissolved or suspended in a parenterally acceptable liquid vehicle. Among acceptable vehicles and solvents that may be employed are water, water adjusted to a suitable pH by addition of an appropriate amount of hydrochloric acid, sodium hydroxide ora suitable buffer, 1,3-butanediol, Ringer’s solution and isotonic sodium chloride solution. The aqueous formulation may also contain one or more preservatives, for example, methyl, ethyl, or n-propyl p-hydroxybenzoate. Additional information regarding parenteral formulations can be found, for example, in the United States Pharmacopeia-National Formulary (USP-NF), herein incorporated by reference.
[1004] The parenteral formulation can be any of the five general types of preparations identified by the USP-NF as suitable for parenteral administration:
[1005] (1) Drug Injection: a liquid preparation that is a drug substance (e.g., a compound of the invention), or a solution thereof; ATTORNEY DOCKET NO.: D0963.70010WO00
[1006] (2) Drug for Injection: the drug substance (e.g., a compound of the invention) as a dry solid that will be combined with the appropriate sterile vehicle for parenteral administration as a drug injection;
[1007] (3) Drug Injectable Emulsion: a liquid preparation of the drug substance (e.g., a compound of the invention) that is dissolved or dispersed in a suitable emulsion medium;
[1008] (4) Drug Injectable Suspension: a liquid preparation of the drug substance (e.g., a compound of the invention) suspended in a suitable liquid medium; and
[1009] (5) Drug for Injectable Suspension: the drug substance (e.g., a compound of the invention) as a dry solid that will be combined with the appropriate sterile vehicle for parenteral administration as a drug injectable suspension.
[1010] Formulations for parenteral administration include solutions of the compound prepared in water suitably mixed with a surfactant, e.g., hydroxypropylcellulose. Dispersions can also be prepared in glycerol, liquid polyethylene glycols, DMSO and mixtures thereof with or without alcohol, and in oils. Under ordinary conditions of storage and use, these preparations may contain a preservative to prevent the growth of microorganisms. Conventional procedures and ingredients for the selection and preparation of suitable formulations are described, for example, in Remington: The Science and Practice of Pharmacy, 21st Ed., Gennaro, Ed., Lippincott Williams & Wilkins (2005) and in The United States Pharmacopeia: The National Formulary (USP 36 NF31), published in 2013.
[1011] Formulations for parenteral administration may, for example, contain excipients, sterile water, or saline, polyalkylene glycols, e.g., polyethylene glycol, oils of vegetable origin, or hydrogenated napthalenes. Biocompatible, biodegradable lactide polymer, lactide / glycolide copolymer, or polyoxyethylene-polyoxypropylene copolymers may be used to control the release of the compounds. Other potentially useful parenteral delivery systems for compounds include ethylene-vinyl acetate copolymer particles, osmotic pumps, implantable infusion systems, and liposomes. Formulations for inhalation may contain excipients, for example, lactose, or may be aqueous solutions containing, for example, polyoxyethylene-9-lauryl ether, glycocholate and deoxycholate, or may be oily solutions for administration in the form of nasal drops, or as a gel.
[1012] The parenteral formulation can be formulated for prompt release or for sustained / extended release of the compound. Exemplary formulations for parenteral release of the compound include: aqueous solutions, powders for reconstitution, cosolvent solutions, oil / water emulsions, suspensions, oil-based solutions, liposomes, microspheres, and polymeric gels.
[1013] Example 1: Investigating Cancer Patients with Hotspot Missense and Biallelic Truncating Mutations
[1014] The present example is based on data (e.g., Cyclin E expression data and clinical outcome data) obtained from patients enrolled in National Clinical Trial (NCT) number: NCT04855656 (“MYTHIC”) who were treated with lunresertib (RP-6306) in combination with camonsertib (RP-3500).
[1015] Cyclin E immunohistochemistry (IHC) was performed on patient tissue samples collected from the MYTHIC trial and compared with IHC on tumor tissue biobank samples unselected for lunresertib biomarkers; this revealed that high levels of Cyclin E (e.g., Cyclin E H-Score >100) accumulate when ATTORNEY DOCKET NO.: D0963.70010WO00
[1016] F-box / WD repeat containing protein (FBXW7) mutations are present (FIGs. 1A-B). Notably, three common arginine (R) hotspot mutations (e.g., R465, R479, and R505) in the FBXW7 protein occurred at a high frequency in patients enrolled in MYTHIC (FIG. 2). These hotspot mutations occurred within the third and fourth WD40 repeats that disrupt recognition of the Cyclin E1 substrate and are deleterious, missense mutations. Additional mutations, such as truncating mutations, inframe mutations, and splice site mutations that span FBXW7 were also identified (FIG. 2).
[1017] All identified mutations were next stratified into three groups (e.g., high confidence, low confidence, or unknown) based on FBXW7 loss-of-function (LoF) quality. High confidence FBXW7 mutations included hotspots mutations (e.g., R465, R479, R505) and biallelic truncations. Low confidence FBXW7 mutations included monoallelic truncations, missense, and splice mutations. Nonhotspot mutations where allelic status is indeterminate, or biallelic missense and splice mutations were considered “unknown.” Notably, the hotspot and biallelic truncation mutations coincided with the greatest accumulation of Cyclin E (FIG. 3). Overall, colorectal cancer (CRC) patients in MYTHIC having high confidence LoF mutations (i.e., hotspot and biallelic truncation mutations) tend to stay on the combination therapy (e.g., lunresertib + camonsertib) longer than patients with low confidence FBXW7 LoF mutations. The numerical values of Cyclin E show that the high confidence FBXW7 mutations are also associated with higher Cyclin E (e.g., Cyclin E H-Score > 100) (FIG.4).
[1018] Table 4 below summarizes observed FBXW7 mutations, Cyclin E expression, and clinical outcomes in CRC patients treated with lunresertib (RP-6306) in combination with camonsertib (RP- 3500) in the MYTHIC trial. Mutations and variant allele frequencies (VAFs) are as reported in local Next Generation Sequencing (NGS) test reports. Allelic status (AS) as assessed using the SyNthetic lethal Interactions for Precision Diagnostics (SNiPDx) assay is reported where available. Cyclin E H- score was determined by IHC. FBXW7 quality was manually curated based on totality of available evidence from local NGS and SNiPDx.

[1077] FBXW7 mutations were also studied in vitro using retinal RPE1 cells and colorectal DLD1 cells. As shown in FIG 5, Cyclin E1 accumulated in retinal RPE1 (FIGs. 5A-B) and colorectal DLD1 (FIGs.5D-E) cell lines following FBXW7 truncation by clustered regularly interspaced short palindromic repeats (CRISPR)-mediated base editing (CRISPR-BE), relative to control guide (sgPLK1silent). Notably, such FBXW7 truncations also showed an increased sensitivity to lunresertib (RP-6306) treatment in the RPE1 (FIG.5C) and DLD1 (FIG.5D) cell lines. Biallelic status of these truncations were independently confirmed (data not shown).
[1078] Taken together, these data show that hotspot FBXW7 missense and biallelic truncating mutations cause true LoF, as illustrated in FIG. 6.
