[0141] 5 -Fluorouracil (5-FU) belongs to the family of therapy drugs called pyrimidine based anti-metabolites. It is a pyrimidine analog, which is transformed into different cytotoxic metabolites that are then incorporated into DNA and RNA thereby inducing cell cycle arrest and apoptosis. Chemical equivalents are pyrimidine analogs which result in disruption of DNA replication. Chemical equivalents inhibit cell cycle progression at S phase resulting in the disruption of cell cycle and consequently apoptosis. Equivalents to 5-FU include prodrugs, analogs and derivative thereof such as 5'-deoxy-5-fluorouridine (doxifluoroidine), floxuridine (FUdR), l-tetrahydrofuranyl-5-fluorouracil (ftorafur),304927-6853-2615.1Atty.

[0143] Capecitabine is a prodrug of (5-FU) that is converted to its active form by the tumor-specific enzyme PynPase following a pathway of three enzymatic steps and two intermediary metabolites, 5'-deoxy-5-fluorocytidine (5'-DFCR) and 5'-deoxy-5-fluorouridine (5'-DFUR). Capecitabine is marketed by Roche under the trade name Xeloda®.
[0144] Leucovorin (Folinic acid) is an adjuvant used in cancer therapy. It is used in synergistic combination with 5-FU to improve efficacy of the chemotherapeutic agent.Without being bound by theory, addition of Leucovorin is believed to enhance efficacy of 5-FU by inhibiting thymidylate synthase. It has been used as an antidote to protect normal cells from high doses of the anticancer drug methotrexate and to increase the antitumor effects of fluorouracil (5-FU) and tegafur-uracil. It is also known as citrovorum factor and Wellcovorin.314927-6853-2615.1Atty. Dkt. No. 109290-0190This compound has the chemical designation of L-Glutamic acid N-[4-[[(2-amino-5-formyl-l,4,5,6,7,8-hexahydro-4-oxo-6-pteridinyl)methyl]amino]benzoyl], calcium salt (1:1).
[0145] “Oxaliplatin” (Eloxatin) is a platinum-based chemotherapy drug in the same family as cisplatin and carboplatin. It is typically administered in combination with fluorouracil and leucovorin in a combination known as FOLFOX for the treatment of colorectal cancer.Compared to cisplatin, the two amine groups are replaced by cyclohexyldiamine for improved antitumor activity. The chlorine ligands are replaced by the oxalato bidentate derived from oxalic acid in order to improve water solubility. Equivalents to Oxaliplatin are known in the art and include, but are not limited to cisplatin, carboplatin, aroplatin, lobaplatin, nedaplatin, and JM-216 (see McKeage et al. (1997) J. Clin.

[0146] “FOLFOX” is an abbreviation for a type of combination therapy that is used to treat cancer. This therapy includes leucovorin ("FOL"), 5-FU ("F"), and oxaliplatin ("OX") and encompasses various regimens, such as FOLFOX-4, FOLFOX-6, modified FOLOX-6, and FOLFOX-7, which vary in doses and ways in which each of the three drugs are administered. "FOLFIRI" is an abbreviation for a type of combination therapy that is used treat cancer and comprises, or alternatively consists essentially of, or yet further consists of 5-FU, leucovorin, and irinotecan. Information regarding these treatments are available on the National Cancer Institute's web site, cancer.gov, last accessed on May 30, 2020 as well as www.cancertherapyadvisor.com / home / cancer-topics / gastrointestinal-cancers / gastrointestinal-cancers-treatment-regimens / colon-cancer-treatment-regimens / , last accessed on May 30, 2020.
[0147] Irinotecan (CPT-11) is sold under the trade name of Camptosar. It is a semisynthetic analogue of the alkaloid camptothecin, which is activated by hydrolysis to SN-38 and targets topoisomerase I. Chemical equivalents are those that inhibit the interaction of topoisomerase I and DNA to form a catalytically active topoisomerase LDNA complex. Chemical equivalents inhibit cell cycle progression at G2-M phase resulting in the disruption of cell proliferation.
[0148] S-l consists of three agents (at a molar ratio of 1:0.4:1): tegafur, 5-chloro-2-4-dihydroxypyridine, and potassium oxonate.324927-6853-2615.1Atty. Dkt. No. 109290-0190
[0149] The term “adjuvant” therapy refers to administration of a therapy or chemotherapeutic regimen to a patient in addition to the primary or initial treatment, such as after removal of a tumor by surgery. Adjuvant therapy is typically given to minimize or prevent a possible cancer reoccurrence. Alternatively, “neoadjuvant” therapy refers to administration of therapy or chemotherapeutic regimen before surgery, typically in an attempt to shrink the tumor prior to a surgical procedure to minimize the extent of tissue removed during the procedure. Additionally or alternatively, such adjuvant therapy potentials (i.e., sensitizes the subject to the original therapy) the subject may help reach one or more of clinical end points of the cancer treatment.
[0150] The phrase “first line” or “second line” or “third line” etc., refers to the order of treatment received by a patient. First line therapy regimens are treatments given first, whereas second or third line therapy are given after the first line therapy or after the second line therapy, respectively. The National Cancer Institute defines first line therapy as “the first treatment for a disease or condition. In patients with cancer, primary treatment can be surgery, chemotherapy, radiation therapy, or a combination of these therapies. First line therapy is also referred to those skilled in the art as primary therapy and primary treatment." See National Cancer Institute website as www.cancer.gov, last visited on May 1, 2008.Typically, a patient is given a subsequent chemotherapy regimen because the patient did not shown a positive clinical or sub-clinical response to the first line therapy or the first line therapy has stopped.
[0151] As used herein, the term “antifolate” intends a drug or biologic that impairs the function of folic acids, e.g., an antimetabolite agent that inhibits the use of a metabolite, i.e. another chemical that is part of normal metabolism. In cancer treatment, antimetabolites interfere with DNA production, thus cell division and growth of the tumor. Non-limiting examples of these agents are dihydrofolate reductase inhibitors, such as methotrexate, Aminopterin, and Pemetrexed; thymidylate synthase inhibitors, such as Raltitrexed or Pemetrexed; purine based, i.e. an adenosine deaminase inhibitor, such as Pentostatin, a thiopurine, such as Thioguanine and Mercaptopurine, a halogenated / ribonucleotide reductase inhibitor, such as Cladribine, Clofarabine, Fludarabine, or a guanine / guanosine: thiopurine, such as Thioguanine; or Pyrimidine based, i.e. cytosine / cytidine: hypomethylating agent, such as Azacitidine and Decitabine, a DNA polymerase inhibitor, such as Cytarabine, a ribonucleotide reductase inhibitor, such as Gemcitabine, or a thymine / thymidine: thymidylate synthase inhibitor, such as a Fluorouracil (5-FU).334927-6853-2615.1Atty. Dkt. No. 109290-0190
[0152] In one aspect, the term "chemical equivalent" means the ability of the chemical to selectively interact with its target protein, DNA, RNA or fragment thereof as measured by the inactivation of the target protein, incorporation of the chemical into the DNA or RNA or other suitable methods. Chemical equivalents include, but are not limited to, those agents with the same or similar biological activity and include, without limitation a pharmaceutically acceptable salt or mixtures thereof that interact with and / or inactivate the same target protein, DNA, or RNA as the reference chemical.
[0153] When a genetic marker, e.g., over-expression of dUTPase, is used as a basis for selecting a patient for a treatment described herein, the genetic marker is measured before and / or during treatment, and the values obtained are used by a clinician in assessing any of the following: (a) probable or likely suitability of an individual to initially receive treatment s); (b) probable or likely unsuitability of an individual to initially receive treatment(s); (c) responsiveness to treatment; (d) probable or likely suitability of an individual to continue to receive treatment(s); (e) probable or likely unsuitability of an individual to continue to receive treatment(s); (f) adjusting dosage; (g) predicting likelihood of clinical benefits; or (h) toxicity. As would be well understood by one in the art, measurement of the genetic marker in a clinical setting is a clear indication that this parameter was used as a basis for initiating, continuing, adjusting and / or ceasing administration of the treatments described herein.Poly (ADP-ribose) polymerase (PARP)
[0154] Poly (ADP-ribose) polymerases are involved in various cellular processes, including stress response, chromatin remodeling, DNA repair, and apoptosis. Because PARP inhibitors prevent PARP-associated DNA repair (e.g., single-strand break repair), cancers with existing DNA repair defects (e.g., HR-deficiency or BRCA 1 / 2 mutations) are susceptible to treatment with PARP inhibition. Such cancers include certain types of ovarian cancer, breast cancer, prostate cancer, pancreatic cancer, fallopian tube cancer, and primary peritoneal cancer. However, PARP inhibitors are poorly effective against cancers without existing HR-deficiency or BRCA 1 / 2 DNA repair defects (such as, but limited to, colorectal adenocarcinoma, non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), gastric adenocarcinoma / gastroesophageal junction cancer and esophageal carcinoma).
[0155] The inventors of the present technology surprisingly discovered methods to treat cancer, regardless of existing DNA repair defects, by combining administration of a PARP344927-6853-2615.1Atty.

[0452] The following examples are included to demonstrate some embodiments of the disclosure. However, those of skill in the art should, in light of the present disclosure, appreciate that many changes can be made in the specific embodiments which are disclosed and still obtain a like or similar result without departing from the spirit and scope of the invention.EXAMPLES
[0453] Example 1. High-throughput Screening (HTS)
[0454] As part of a biomarker screen to identify compounds that directly impact the anticancer activity of the DNA uracilation pathway and the efficacy of dUTPase inhibitors, a compound library comprising 161 compounds, targeting 47 distinct cell cycle and DNA damage pathways, was screened across multiple cancer cell lines as single agents and in combination with the dUTPase inhibitor Compound A, with the fluoropyrimidine thymidylate synthase inhibitor FUdR, or with the dual combination of Compound A and FUdR. Cytotoxic effects were measured using the CELLTITER-GLO® 2.0 Viability Assay following 72 hour and 120 hour continuous exposures. Compounds that exhibited a marked increase in cytotoxicity when combined with Compound A, FUdR, or the combination of Compound A + FUdR when compared to monotherapy were identified as “hits.”
[0455] Talazoparib, a poly ADP-ribose polymerase (PARP) inhibitor approved for the treatment of HER2-negative, germline BRCA-mutated breast cancer, demonstrated a significant enhancement in cytotoxicity when used in conjunction with Compound A + FUdR across multiple cancer cell lines spanning three different cancer types. Talazoparib’ s mechanism of action is via the inhibition of PARP1 / 2 enzymes, crucial for the detection and repair of single-strand DNA breaks, and inducing PARP trapping, which blocks DNA repair, replication, and transcription, leading to cell death. PARP inhibitors are only clinically approved for treatment of distinct cancer types that harbor specific DNA repair defects including mutation in BRCA1 / 2 or homologous recombination (HR) deficiency. The synergistic anticancer activity of a PARP inhibitor in combination with a dUTPase and TS inhibitor has not been described previously.2034927-6853-2615.1Atty. Dkt. No. 109290-0190
[0456] Compound
[0457] Example 2: Combined effects of Compound A, FUdR and Talazoparib enhance cytotoxicity across multiple cancer cell lines.
[0458] Experimental overview: As noted in Example 1, HTS identified talazoparib as a potential compound to enhance the cytotoxicity of multiple cancer cell lines when combined with Compound A + FUdR. To validate this experimental result, a growth inhibition assay (GIA) was used to determine the cytotoxicity of multiple cancer cell lines when treated with a fixed dose of Compound A, a fixed dose of FUdR, or a fixed dose of the combination (Compound A + FUdR), in the presence or absence of increasing doses of the PARP inhibitor (talazoparib) following a continuous exposure period of 72 h or 120 h. Cytotoxicity was assessed using CELLTITER-GLO® 2.0 Cell Viability Assay. Cell lines assayed for cell survival included HCT116 (colorectal cancer), A549 (lung cancer), and MDA-MB-231 (breast cancer).
[0459] Cell line model selection: HCT116 (CCL-247™), A549 (CCL-185™) and MDA-MB-231 (HTB-26™) cell lines were acquired from American Type Culture Collection (ATCC). Cells were maintained in the appropriate culture media supplemented with 10% fetal bovine serum (FBS), 1% penicillin / streptomycin (P / S), 1% L-glutamine (L-Glut) and 1% sodium pyruvate (NaPyr). Cells were cultured and expanded in humidified incubators at 37°C and 5% CO2 until sufficient cells were available. All cell lines were routinely screened for mycoplasma infection using the MYCOALERT™ mycoplasma detection kit (Lonza) and have been authenticated using short tandem repeat (STR) profiling (Eurofins).
[0460] Cell preparation and drug treatments: 1000-2000 cells (HCT116, A549 and MDA-MB-231) suspended in 50 pL of complete media were added to the inner 60 wells of an opaque white 96-well plate. Sterile water (100 pL) was added to the outer wells of the 96-well plate to maintain adequate humidity, and the plates were placed in a humidified incubator at 5% CO2 to allow cells to adhere overnight. The following day, all compounds were prepared freshly in cell culture media from frozen stocks prior to treatment. Cells were treated with a fixed dose of Compound A, a fixed dose of FUdR, or a fixed dose of the combination (Compound A + FUdR), alone or in combination with increasing doses of talazoparib. Following treatment, the 96-well plates were gently shaken at 300 rpm for 22044927-6853-2615.1Atty. Dkt. No. 109290-0190minutes to ensure adequate mixing, and the plates were left in a humidified incubator at 5% CO2 for a continuous exposure period of 72 h and 120 h.
[0461] CELLTITER-GLO® 2.0 Viability Assay: Following 72 h and 120 h exposure period, cytotoxicity was assessed using CELLTITER-GLO® 2.0 Viability Assay. The CELLTITER-GLO® 2.0 Viability Assay provides a homogeneous method to determine the number of viable cells in culture by quantitating the amount of ATP present, which indicates the presence of metabolically active cells. Viable cells maintain ATP production, while non-viable cells rapidly lose this capability during cell death. Briefly, CELLTITER-GLO® 2.0 reagent was allowed to equilibrate to room temperature 30 minutes prior to use. An equal volume of CELLTITER-GLO® 2.0 reagent and culture media were mixed in a 50 mL tube (100 pL per well required). Media was removed from the cells on the 96-well plate and replaced with 100 pL of CELLTITER-GLO® 2.0 reagent / media mix. Wells containing 100 pL of CELLTITER-GLO® 2.0 reagent / media mix with no cells were used as a blank luminescence control. Plates were shaken on an orbital shaker for 2 minutes at 500 rpm to induce cell lysis and incubated at room temperature for 10 minutes covered in foil.Luminescence was measured on the CLARIOSTAR® (BMG Labtech) microplate reader. Cytotoxicity was expressed as a percentage of the untreated control.
[0462] Results: For each of cell lines, the concentrations of Compound A and FUdR used was consistent with the concentrations used in the original screening of these cell lines which identified talazoparib as a potential “hit.” At both the 72 h and 120 h timepoints, all cell lines demonstrated a dose-dependent increase in cytotoxicity with increasing doses of talazoparib. At the 72 h timepoint, the combination of Compound A + FUdR demonstrated a percentage control of -80% across all cell lines. Notably, none of the cell lines demonstrated a significant increase in cytotoxicity when Compound A + FUdR was combined with talazoparib, when compared to Compound A + Talazoparib, FUdR + talazoparib and talazoparib single agent (Figures 1A-1C). Contrary to this, at the 120 h timepoint, all cells lines demonstrated an enhanced cytotoxicity when Compound A + FUdR was combined with talazoparib (Figure 1A-1C). In the HCT116 cell line, the percentage control following 120 h continuous exposure to Compound A + FUdR in the absence of talazoparib is 73%. When treated with the lowest concentration of talazoparib assayed (0.005 pM), the percentage control was reduced to 48%, while Compound A + talazoparib (0.005 pM), FUdR + talazoparib (0.005 pM) and talazoparib single agent (0.005 pM) demonstrated no cytotoxicity (Figure 1A). Similarly, in the A549 cell line, at the lowest concentration of talazoparib 2054927-6853-2615.1Atty. Dkt. No. 109290-0190assayed (0.005 pM), Compound A + talazoparib (0.005 pM), FUdR + talazoparib (0.005 pM) and talazoparib single agent (0.005 pM) demonstrated minimal cytotoxicity. However, when Compound A + FUdR was combined with talazoparib (0.005 pM), cytotoxicity was reduced to 34% compared to 50% with Compound A + FUdR, alone (Figure IB). Finally, in the MDA-MB-231 cell line, the enhanced cytotoxicity when Compound A + FUdR was combined with talazoparib was not observed until concentrations of talazoparib greater than 0.025 pM (Figure 1C) were assessed.
[0463] This data validates the HTS identification of a PARP inhibitor as a hit, confirming the enhancement of cytotoxicity when a dUTPase inhibitor + a TS inhibitor is combined with a PARP inhibitor such as talazoparib. Inhibition of dUTPase in combination with an inhibitor of thymidylate biosynthesis induces DNA uracilation which causes highly specific DNA damage. Without being bound to any one particular theory, it is believed that PARP plays a key role in the repair of DNA damage caused by DNA uracilation, and the enhanced synergistic effect observed at 120 hours when compared to 72 hours is the result of DNA damage accumulation due to PARP inhibition.
[0464] Example 3: Combined effects of Compound A, FUdR, and PARP inhibition reduce long-term survival across multiple cancer cell lines using sub-lethal doses of PARP inhibitor.
[0465] Experimental overview: Cancer cells were treated with control, a fluoropyrimidine (FUdR) alone, Compound A alone, or the combination of Compound A and FUdR. Each of these treatment conditions was investigated in the presence or absence of increasing doses of the PARP inhibitors: olaparib, rucaparib, niraparib and talazoparib. Long-term cell survival was assessed using Colony Formation Assay (CFA). Cell lines assayed for cell survival included HCT116 (colorectal cancer), A549 (lung cancer); and MDA-MB-23 (breast cancer).
[0466] Cell line model selection: HCT116, A549 and MDA-MB-231 cells were maintained in the appropriate culture media supplemented with 10% fetal bovine serum (FBS), 1% penicillin / streptomycin (P / S), 1% L-glutamine (L-Glut) and 1% sodium pyruvate (NaPyr). Cells were cultured and expanded in humidified incubators at 37 °C and 5% CO2 until sufficient cells were available. All cell lines were routinely screened for mycoplasma infection using the MYCO ALERT™ mycoplasma detection kit (Lonza) and have been authenticated using short tandem repeat (STR) profiling (Eurofins).2064927-6853-2615.1Atty. Dkt. No. 109290-0190
[0467] Cell preparation and drug treatments: 200-250 cells (HCT116, A549 and MDA-MB-231) suspended in 500 pL of complete media were added to the inner 8 wells of a 24-well plate. Sterile water (1 mL) was added to the outer wells of the 24-well plate to maintain adequate humidity. The plates were placed in a humidified incubator at 5% CO2 to allow cells to adhere overnight. The following day, all compounds were prepared freshly in cell culture media from frozen stocks prior to treatment. Seeding media was removed and replaced with drug-containing media and incubated for 48 hours. Cells were treated with a fixed dose of Compound A, a fixed dose of FUdR, or a fixed dose of the combination of Compound A + FUdR, alone or in combination with increasing doses of PARP inhibitor. Following 48 h incubation, drug-containing media was removed and replaced with 1 mL of complete media, and cells were left in a humidified incubator at 5% CO2 to form colonies (>50 cells) for a period of 9-12 days.
[0468] Colony Formation Assay (CFA): Following sufficient colony formation (>50 cells), colonies were fixed and stained using the following protocol. Media was removed from each well and replaced with 500 pL of ice-cold 70% methanol, and plates were left to incubate for 15 minutes on an orbital rocker at room temperature (RT). Following fixation, methanol was removed from each well, and the plates were inverted and left to dry. Once dry, colonies were stained with 0.5% crystal violet solution by adding approximately 500 pL to each well and incubating on an orbital rocker at RT. Colonies were sufficiently stained after a 15-minute incubation. To remove excess stain, changes of IX PBS were added to each well. A final wash using distilled water was completed to prevent the formation of salt crystals. Colonies were counted by acquiring images and subsequent processing using the Oxford Optronix GELCOUNT™ Analyser. Cell survival was expressed as a percentage of the untreated control.
[0469] Results: For each of the cell lines assayed, a fixed dose of Compound A and FUdR was chosen based on previous optimization experiments. In the absence of a PARP inhibitor, all three cell lines demonstrated no significant decrease in cell survival when treated with Compound A and FUdR as single agents. When Compound A was combined with FUdR, all three cell lines demonstrated a statistically significant reduction in cell survival of approximately 20-30%. The synergistic increase in anticancer activity through use of a dUTPase inhibitor, such as Compound A, with fluoropyrimidines, such as FUdR, has been previously reported.2074927-6853-2615.1Atty. Dkt. No. 109290-0190
[0470] In both the HCT116 and A549 cell lines, single agent olaparib demonstrated no significant decrease in cell survival across all the investigated doses (0.05, 0.1, 1 pM).Marginally higher doses were assayed in the MDA-MB-231 cell line, where both the 0.1 and 1 pM doses demonstrated no single agent activity with olaparib; however, the 5 pM dose caused a reduction in cell survival of -30% (p=0.0102). When Compound A + FUdR was combined with olaparib, there was a dose dependent reduction in cell survival, an observation which was consistent across all three cell lines. In the HCT116 cell line, olaparib at all concentrations, in combination with Compound A + FUdR demonstrated a significant reduction in cell survival in comparison to Compound A + FUdR alone, causing a reduction in cell survival from 81% in the absence of olaparib to 49% (p=<0.0001), 46% (p=<0.0001) and 22%(p=<0.0001) when combined with 0.05, 0.1 and 1 pM of olaparib, respectively (Figure 2A). Similarly, in the A549 cell line, 0.1 and 1 pM of olaparib in combination with Compound A + FUdR demonstrated a significant reduction in cell survival from 70% in the absence of olaparib to 42% (p=0.0004) and 28% (p=<0.0001), respectively (Figure 2B). In the MDA-MB-231 cell line, treatment the combination of Compound A + FUdR in the absence of olaparib resulted in cell survival of -68%; however, when combined with 1 and 5 pM doses of olaparib, this cell survival was reduced to 37% (p=0.0001) and 18% (p=<0.0001), respectively (Figure 2C). Statistical analysis is shown in Figure 2D.
[0471] The same concentrations of rucaparib were assayed across each cell line as used with olaparib. The lower doses of rucaparib demonstrated no significant single agent activity across all three cell lines; however, at the highest concentration, all cell lines demonstrated a significant reduction in cell survival with single agent rucaparib in comparison to an untreated control. In both the HCT116 and A549 cell lines, 1 pM of rucaparib demonstrated a reduction in cell survival of -20%. In the MDA-MB-231, the 5 pM dose of rucaparib caused a reduction in cell survival of -50%. Despite some concentrations of rucaparib demonstrating single agent activity, there was still a significant reduction in cell survival when combined with Compound A + FUdR in comparison to rucaparib treatment alone. As with olaparib, the HCT116 cell line demonstrated a significant reduction in cell survival when Compound A + FUdR was combined with all three concentrations of rucaparib assayed, in comparison to Compound A + FUdR alone. Cell survival was reduced from 81% in the absence of rucaparib to 40% (p=<0.0001), 35% (p=<0.0001) and 15% (p=<0.0001) when combined with 0.05, 0.1 and 1 pM of rucaparib, respectively (Figure 3A). In the A549 cell line, two out of three doses of rucaparib assayed demonstrated a significant reduction in cell survival when2084927-6853-2615.1Atty. Dkt. No. 109290-0190combined with Compound A + FUdR in comparison to Compound A + FUdR alone. The combination of Compound A + FUdR demonstrated a cell survival of 70%, which was reduced to 42% (p=0.0003) and 24% (p=<0.0001) when combined with 0.1 and 1 pM of rucaparib, respectively (Figure 3B). Similarly, in the MDA-MB-231 cell line, two out of three doses of rucaparib demonstrated a significant reduction in cell survival when combined with Compound A + FUdR in comparison to Compound A + FUdR alone. In the absence of rucaparib treatment, the combination of Compound A + FUdR causes a cell survival of -68%, but this cell survival was reduced to 35% (p=<0.0001) and 24% (p=<0.0001), respectively when combined with 1 and 5 pM doses of rucaparib (Figure 3C). Statistical analysis shown in Figure 3D.
[0472] The same concentrations of niraparib were assayed across each cell line as used with rucaparib and olaparib. The single agent activity of niraparib demonstrated enhanced potency when compared to rucaparib and olaparib. The 0.05 pM dose of niraparib demonstrated no significant decrease in cell survival in the HCT116 and A549 cell lines. Similarly, the 0.1 pM dose of niraparib demonstrated no significant decrease in cell survival across all cell lines. At the 1 pM dose, the HCT116, A549 and MDA-MB-231 cell lines demonstrated a reduction in cell survival of 47% (p=<0.0001), 34% (p=<0.0001), and 34% (p=<0.0001) respectively, in comparison to the untreated control. The 5 pM dose was only assayed in the MDA-MB-231 cell line and demonstrated a significant reduction in cell survival of -88% (p=<0.0001). Given the significant single agent effects at this 5 pM dose, no additional effects on cell survival were observed when combined with Compound A + FUdR. However, when niraparib, at a dose of 0.05, 0.1, or 1 pM, was combined with Compound A + FUdR, there was a significant reduction in cell survival in comparison to niraparib treatment alone. As observed with both olaparib and rucaparib, all three doses of niraparib assayed in the HCT116 cell line demonstrated a significant reduction in cell survival (p=<0.0001) when combined with Compound A + FUdR in comparison to Compound A + FUdR alone (Figure 4A). In the A549 cell line, two out of three doses of niraparib assayed demonstrated a significant reduction in cell survival when combined with Compound A + FUdR in comparison to Compound A + FUdR alone. The combination of Compound A + FUdR in the absence of niraparib demonstrated a cell survival of 70%, this was reduced to 39% (p=0.0003) and 20% (p=<0.0001) when combined with 0.1 and IpM of niraparib, respectively (Figure 4B). Similarly, in the MDA-MB-231 cell line, two out of three doses of niraparib assayed demonstrated a significant reduction in cell survival when combined with2094927-6853-2615.1Atty. Dkt. No. 109290-0190Compound A + FUdR in comparison to Compound A + FUdR alone. The combination of Compound A + FUdR in the absence of niraparib demonstrated a cell survival of 68%, this was reduced to 49% (p=0.0324) and 35% (p=<0.0001) when combined with 0.1 and 1 pM of niraparib, respectively (Figure 4C). Statistical analysis shown in Figure 4D.
[0473] As reflected in the concentrations assayed across each cell line, talazoparib was the most potent of all the PARP inhibitors investigated. Each of the cell lines demonstrate some single agent activity with talazoparib resulting in a reduction in cell survival; however, when combined with Compound A + FUdR, significant reductions in cell survival in comparison to talazoparib treatment alone were still observed. Similarly to the other PARP inhibitors, talazoparib demonstrates a dose-dependent reduction in cell survival when combined with Compound A + FUdR. In the HCT116 cell line, all three doses of talazoparib assayed demonstrated a significant reduction in cell survival when combined with Compound A + FUdR in comparison to Compound A + FUdR alone. The combination of Compound A + FUdR in the absence of talazoparib demonstrated a cell survival of 81%, which was reduced to 20% (p=<0.0001), 11% (p=<0.0001) and 4% (p=<0.0001) when combined with 0.005, 0.01 and 0.1 pM of talazoparib, respectively (Figure 5A). Similarly, in the A549 cell line, Compound A + FUdR in the absence of talazoparib demonstrates a survival of -70%, which was reduced to 41% (p=<0.0001), 22% (p=<0.0001) and 14% (p=<0.0001) when combined with 0.001, 0.005 and 0.01 pM of talazoparib, respectively (Figure 5B). This effect is further illustrated in the MDA-MB-231 cell line, wherein, without talazoparib, Compound A + FUdR demonstrates a cell survival of 68%, which was reduced to 39% (p=<0.0001), 30% (p=<0.0001) and 11% (p=<0.0001) when combined with 0.005, 0.01 and 0.1 pM of talazoparib, respectively (Figure 5C). Statistical analysis is shown in Figure 5D.
[0474] This data demonstrates that the inhibition of PARP with any of the four abovedescribed clinically approved PARP inhibitors can significantly enhance the anticancer effect in models of three different cancer types when combined with a dUTPase inhibitor (e.g., Compound A) and a TS inhibitor. The improved anticancer effect is greater than that of any of the individual monotherapies or the combination of a dUTPase inhibitor with a TS inhibitor.
[0475] Example 4: Combined effects of Compound A, FUdR and PARP inhibition reduce long term cell survival of multiple cancer cell lines using sub-lethal doses of Compound A.2104927-6853-2615.1Atty. Dkt. No. 109290-0190
[0476] Experimental overview: Cancer cells were treated with control, a fluoropyrimidine (FUdR), Compound A (at concentrations ranging from 1.56 pM - 6.25 pM), or the combination of Compound A and FUdR using increasing doses of Compound A (1.56 pM -6.25 pM) and a fixed dose of FUdR. Each of these treatment conditions was investigated in the presence or absence of a fixed dose of the PARP inhibitors (olaparib, rucaparib, niraparib or talazoparib). Long-term cell survival was assessed using Colony Formation Assay (CFA). Cell lines assayed for cell survival included HCT116 (colorectal cancer), A549 (lung cancer), and MDA-MB-23 (breast cancer).
[0477] Cell line model selection: HCT116, A549 and MDA-MB-231 cells were maintained in the appropriate culture media supplemented with 10% fetal bovine serum (FBS), 1% penicillin / streptomycin (P / S), 1% L-glutamine (L-Glut) and 1% sodium pyruvate (NaPyr). Cells were cultured and expanded in humidified incubators at 37 °C and 5% CO2 until sufficient cells were available. All cell lines were routinely screened for mycoplasma infection using the MYCO ALERT™ mycoplasma detection kit (Lonza) and have been authenticated using short tandem repeat (STR) profiling (Eurofins).
[0478] Cell preparation and drug treatments: 200-250 cells (HCT116, A549 and MDA-MB-231) suspended in 500 pL of complete media were added to the inner 8 wells of a 24-well plate. Sterile water (1 mL) was added to the outer wells of the 24-well plate to maintain adequate humidity, and the plates were placed in a humidified incubator at 5% CO2 to allow cells to adhere overnight. The following day, all compounds were prepared freshly in cell culture media from frozen stocks prior to treatment. Seeding media was removed and replaced with drug-containing media and incubated for 48 h. Cells were treated with Compound A (1.56 pM - 6.25 pM), FUdR, or Compound A (1.56 pM - 6.25 pM) + FUdR, alone or in combination with a fixed dose of PARP inhibitor. Following 48 h incubation drug-containing media was removed and replaced with 1 mL of complete media, and cells were left in a humidified incubator at 5% CO2 to form colonies (>50 cells) for a period of 9-12 days.
[0479] Colony Formation Assay (CFA): Following sufficient colony formation (>50 cells), colonies were fixed and stained using the following protocol. Media was removed from each well and replaced with 500 pL of ice-cold 70% methanol, and plates were left to incubate for 15 minutes on an orbital rocker at room temperature (RT). Following fixation, methanol was removed from each well, and the plates were inverted and left to dry. Once dry, colonies were stained with 0.5% crystal violet solution by adding approximately 500 pL to 2114927-6853-2615.1Atty. Dkt. No. 109290-0190each well and incubating on an orbital rocker at RT. Colonies were sufficiently stained after a 15-minute incubation. To remove excess stain, changes of IX PBS were added to each well. A final wash using distilled water was completed to prevent the formation of salt crystals. Colonies were counted by acquiring images and subsequent processing using the Oxford Optronix GELCOUNT™ Analyser. Cell survival was expressed as a percentage of the untreated control.
[0480] Results: For each of the assayed cell lines, fixed doses of FUdR and PARP inhibitor were chosen based on the previous experiments. In the absence of a PARP inhibitor, all three cell lines demonstrated no significant decrease in cell survival when treated with Compound A at concentrations of 1.56 pM - 6.25 pM or FUdR as single agents, in comparison to control. When Compound A (1.56 pM - 6.25 pM) was combined with FUdR, there was a dose-dependent reduction in cell survival across all cell lines.
[0481] As a single agent, olaparib demonstrated a reduction in cell survival of 5% (p=0.2665), 10% (p=0.1102) and 13% (p=0.0097) in the HCT116, A549 and MDA-MB-231 cell lines, respectively, when compared to the control. In the HCT116 cell line, the combination of Compound A (1.56 pM - 6.25 pM) + FUdR in the absence of olaparib demonstrated a cell survival of 99%, 88% and 67%, but when each of these combinations was combined with olaparib (1 pM), cell survival was significantly reduced to 45% (p=<0.0001), 27% (p=<0.0001) and 13% (p=<0.0001), respectively (Figure 6A). Similarly, the A549 cell line demonstrated a significant reduction in cell survival when Compound A (1.56 pM - 6.25 pM) + FUdR was combined with olaparib (1 pM), in comparison to Compound A (1.56 pM - 6.25 pM) + FUdR without olaparib. In particular, cell survival was significantly reduced from 95%, 89% and 67% in the absence of olaparib to 52% (p=<0.0001), 41% (p=<0.0001) and 30% (p=<0.0001) when olaparib (1 pM) was combined with Compound A (1.56 pM) + FUdR, Compound A (3.13 pM) + FUdR, and Compound A (6.25 pM) + FUdR, respectively (Figure 6B). This effect was further illustrated in the MDA-MB-231 cell line: the combination of Compound A (1.56 pM - 6.25 pM) + FUdR demonstrated a cell survival of 77%, 74% and 61% in the absence of olaparib, but when each of these combinations was combined with olaparib (1 pM), cell survival was reduced to 49% (p=<0.0001), 41% (p=<0.0001) and 28% (p=<0.0001), respectively (Figure 6C). Statistical analysis is shown in Figure 6D.
[0482] As was observed with olaparib, rucaparib in combination with Compound A (1.56 pM - 6.25 pM) + FUdR demonstrated a dose-dependent reduction in cell survival when 2124927-6853-2615.1Atty. Dkt. No. 109290-0190compared to either treatment alone, a finding that was consistent across each of the assayed cell lines. Single agent rucaparib (1 pM) demonstrated an average reduction in cell survival of -14% in comparison to the control across all cell lines. In the HCT116 cell line, Compound A (1.56 pM) + FUdR, Compound A (3.13pM) + FUdR, and Compound A (6.25 pM) + FUdR demonstrated an overall reduction in cell survival of 63% (p=<0.0001), 67% (p=<0.0001) and 56% (p=<0.0001), respectively, when combined with rucaparib (0.5 pM), in comparison to Compound A (1.56 pM - 6.25 pM) + FUdR without rucaparib (Figure 7A). In the A549 cell line, cell survival was significantly decreased when increasing doses of Compound A (1.56 pM - 6.25 pM) + FUdR were combined with rucaparib (1 pM). More specifically, cell survival was reduced from 95%, 89% and 67% to 52% (p=<0.0001), 41% (p=<0.0001) and 30% (p=<0.0001), respectively (Figure 7B). Finally, the MDA-MB-231 cell line exhibited a similar effect to that observed in the HCT116 and A549 cell lines. Cell survival following treatment with increasing doses of Compound A (1.56 pM - 6.25 pM) + FUdR was 77%, 74% and 61%, which was significantly reduced to 58% (p=0.0093), 43% (p=<0.0001) and 28% (p=<0.0001) when combined with rucaparib (1 pM) (Figure 7C). Statistical analysis is shown in Figure 7D.
[0483] Niraparib demonstrates an enhanced potency in comparison to olaparib and rucaparib, as reflected in the assayed concentrations. Single agent niraparib (0.5 pM) demonstrated a reduction in cell survival of 20-23% across all cell lines. As observed with olaparib and rucaparib, niraparib in combination with increasing doses of Compound A (1.56 pM - 6.25 pM) + FUdR demonstrated a dose-dependent reduction in cell survival when compared to either treatment alone, a finding which was consistent across each of the assayed cell lines. In the HCT116 cell line, there was an overall reduction in cell survival of 70% (p=<0.0001), 71% (p=<0.0001) and 60% (p=<0.0001) when Compound A (1.56 pM - 6.25 pM) + FUdR was combined with niraparib (0.5 pM) in comparison to Compound A (1.56 pM - 6.25 pM) + FUdR in the absence of niraparib (Figure 8A). This effect was further illustrated in the A549 cell line, wherein Compound A (1.56 pM - 6.25 pM) + FUdR combined with niraparib (0.5 pM) demonstrated an overall reduction in cell survival of 45% (p=<0.0001), 45% (p=<0.0001) and 41% (p=<0.0001) when compared to Compound A (1.56 pM - 6.25 pM) + FUdR without niraparib (Figure 8B). Similarly, in the MDA-MB-231 cell line, there was an overall reduction in cell survival of 30% (p=0.0002), 41% (p=<0.0001) and 33% (p=<0.0001) when increasing doses of Compound A (1.56 pM - 6.25 pM) + FUdR were2134927-6853-2615.1Atty. Dkt. No. 109290-0190combined with niraparib (0.5 pM) in comparison to Compound A (1.56 pM - 6.25 pM) + FUdR without niraparib (Figure 8C). Statistical analysis is shown in Figure 8D.
[0484] As talazoparib was the most potent of the four clinically approved PARP inhibitors in these experiments, a lower dose was assayed across all cell lines. Single agent talazoparib (0.005 pM) exhibited a reduction in cell survival of 11% (p=0.0492), 25% (p=0.0001) and 23% (p=0.004) in the HCT116, A549 and MDA-MB-231 cell lines, respectively. Talazoparib in combination with increasing doses of Compound A (1.56 pM - 6.25 pM) + FUdR demonstrated a dose-dependent reduction in cell survival when compared to either treatment alone, which was consistent across each of the cell lines assayed. In the HCT116 cell line, there was an overall reduction in cell survival of 61% (p=<0.0001), 64% (p=<0.0001) and 54% (p=<0.0001) when Compound A (1.56 pM - 6.25 pM) + FUdR was combined with talazoparib (0.005pM) in comparison to Compound A (1.56 pM - 6.25 pM) + FUdR without talazoparib (Figure 9A). This effect was further illustrated in the A549 cell line, wherein Compound A (1.56 pM - 6.25 pM) + FUdR combined with talazoparib (0.005 pM) demonstrated an overall reduction in cell survival of 58% (p=<0.0001), 55% (p=<0.0001) and 42% (p=<0.0001) when compared to Compound A (1.56 pM - 6.25 pM) + FUdR, without talazoparib (Figure 9B). Similarly in the MDA-MB-231 cell line, there was an overall reduction in cell survival of 31% (p=0.0002), 38% (p=<0.0001) and 38% (p=<0.0001) when increasing doses of Compound A (1.56 pM - 6.25 pM) + FUdR was combined with talazoparib (0.005 pM) in comparison to Compound A (1.56 pM - 6.25 pM) + FUdR in the absence of talazoparib (Figure 9C). Statistical analysis is shown in Figure 9D.
[0485] Overall, this data presented demonstrated a clear dose-dependent increase in cancer cell lethality when increasing concentrations of the dUTPase inhibitor Compound A were combined with a TS inhibitor and a PARP inhibitor. This demonstrated that Compound A was critically important in driving this synergistic mechanism.
[0486] Example 5: Combined effects of Compound B (dUTPase inhibitor), FUdR and PARP inhibition reduce long term cell survival of colorectal cancer cells using sub-lethal doses of Compound B.
[0487] Experimental overview: Cancer cells were treated with control, the fluoropyrimidine, FUdR, Compound B (1.56-6.25pM) and the combination of Compound B and FUdR using escalating doses of Compound B (1.56-6.25pM) and a fixed dose of FUdR. Each of these treatment conditions was investigated in the presence and absence of a fixed2144927-6853-2615.1Atty. Dkt. No. 109290-0190dose of the PARP inhibitors: olaparib, rucaparib, niraparib and talazoparib. Long-term cell survival was assessed using Colony Formation Assay (CFA). Cell lines assayed for cell survival included HCT116 (colorectal cancer).
[0488] Compound
[0489] Cell line model selection: HCT116 cells were maintained in the appropriate culture media supplemented with 10% fetal bovine serum (FBS), 1% penicillin / streptomycin (P / S), 1% L-glutamine (L-Glut) and 1% sodium pyruvate (NaPyr). Cells were cultured and expanded in humidified incubators at 37 °C and 5% CO2 until sufficient cells were available. All cell lines were routinely screened for mycoplasma infection using the MYCO ALERT™ mycoplasma detection kit (Lonza) and have been authenticated using short tandem repeat (STR) profiling (Eurofins).
[0490] Cell preparation and drug treatments: 200-250 cells (HCT116) suspended in 500 pL of complete media was added to the inner 8 wells of a 24-well plate. Sterile water (1 mL) was added to the outer wells of the 24-well plate to maintain adequate humidity. The plates were placed in a humidified incubator at 5% CO2 to allow cells to adhere overnight. The following day, all compounds were prepared freshly in cell culture media from frozen stocks prior to treatment. Seeding media was removed and replaced with drug-containing media and incubated for 48 hours.

Following 48 h incubation drug-containing media was removed and replaced with 1 mL of complete media, cells were left in a humidified incubator at 5% CO2 to form colonies (>50 cells) for a period of 9-12 days.
[0491] Colony Formation Assay (CFA): Following sufficient colony formation (>50 cells), colonies were fixed and stained using the following protocol.

No. 109290-0190Colonies were counted by acquiring images and subsequent processing using the Oxford Optronix GELCOUNT™ Analyser. Cell survival was expressed as a percentage of the untreated control.
[0492] Results: For these experiments, a fixed dose of FUdR, and PARP inhibitor were chosen based on previous optimization experiments, and these concentrations mirrored those used in Example 3. In the absence of a PARP inhibitor, the HCT116 cell line demonstrated no significant decrease in cell survival when treated with Compound A (1.56-6.25 pM) or FUdR as single agents in comparison to control. When Compound A (1.56-6.25 pM) was combined with FUdR there was a dose dependent reduction in cell survival.
[0493] Single agent olaparib demonstrated a reduction in cell survival of 12% (p=0.0127) in the HCT116 cell line when compared to the control. In the HCT116 cell line, the combination of Compound A (1.56-6.25 pM) + FUdR demonstrated a cell survival of 86%, 81% and 59% in the absence of olaparib. When each of these combinations was combined with olaparib (1 pM), cell survival was reduced to 24% (p=<0.0001), 16% (p=<0.0001) and 10% (p=<0.0001), respectively (Figure 10A). Statistical analysis shown in Figure 10B.
[0494] As observed with olaparib, rucaparib in combination with Compound B (1.56-6.25 pM) + FUdR demonstrated a dose dependent reduction in cell survival, when compared to either treatment alone. Single agent rucaparib (1 pM) demonstrated an average reduction in cell survival of -23% in comparison to the control. In the HCT116 cell line, Compound B (1.56 pM) + FUdR, Compound B (3.13 pM) + FUdR and Compound B (6.25 pM) + FUdR demonstrated an overall reduction in cell survival of 65% (p=<0.0001), 69% (p=<0.0001) and 51% (p=<0.0001), respectively, when combined with rucaparib (1 pM), in comparison to Compound B (1.56-6.25 pM) + FUdR in the absence of rucaparib (Figure 11A). Statistical analysis shown in Figure 11B.
[0495] Niraparib demonstrated an enhanced potency in comparison to olaparib and rucaparib, as reflected in the concentration used in this experiment. Single agent niraparib (0.5 pM) demonstrated a reduction in cell survival of -23% in the HCT116 cell line. As observed with olaparib and rucaparib, niraparib in combination with escalating doses of Compound B (1.56-6.25 pM) + FUdR demonstrated a dose dependent reduction in cell survival, when compared to either treatment alone. In the HCT116 cell line, there was an overall reduction in cell survival of 65% (p=<0.0001), 68% (p=<0.0001) and 50% (p=<0.0001) when Compound B (1.56-6.25pM) + FUdR was combined with niraparib (0.52164927-6853-2615.1Atty. Dkt. No. 109290-0190pM) in comparison to Compound B (1.56-6.25 pM) + FUdR, without niraparib (Figure 12A). Statistical analysis shown in Figure 12B.
[0496] Talazoparib, the most potent of all the PARP inhibitors, was assayed using a much lower dose compared to the other PARP inhibitors investigated in this example. Single agent talazoparib (0.005 pM) exhibited a reduction in cell survival of less than 10% (p=0.1536), in the HCT116 cell line. Talazoparib in combination with escalating doses of Compound B (1.56-6.25 pM) + FUdR demonstrated a dose dependent reduction in cell survival when compared to either treatment alone. In the HCT116 cell line, there was an overall reduction in cell survival of 60% (p=<0.0001), 63% (p=<0.0001) and 48% (p=<0.0001) when Compound B (1.56-6.25 pM) + FUdR was combined with talazoparib (0.005 pM) in comparison to Compound B (1.56-6.25 pM) + FUdR without talazoparib (Figure 13A). Statistical analysis shown in Figure 13B.
[0497] Overall, the data presented underscores the profound effect of the triple combination therapy involving Compound B (a dUTPase inhibitor with a chemical structure distinct from Compound A), FUdR, and PARP inhibition on cell survival. Notably, the significant reduction in cell survival is exclusively observed with this triple combination. In contrast, dual combinations of PARP inhibition with either Compound B or FUdR exhibit only minimal impact on cell survival. Furthermore, the findings demonstrate the therapeutic efficacy of this approach when employing an alternative dUTPase inhibitor, reinforcing the robustness and versatility of the triple combination strategy.
[0498] Example 6. Additional assessments using cell lines for gastric, esophageal, head and neck, or hematological malignancies
[0499] The procedures of Examples 3 and 4 are repeated using cell lines for gastric (AGS -CRL-1739™), esophageal (OE33 - ECACC 96070808), head and neck (FaDu -HTB-43™) and hematological malignancies (RS4;11 -CRL-1873™). It is expected that the triple combination of Compound A + FUdR + PARP inhibitor will demonstrate synergistically effective results.

Upon study completion, tumor samples will be collected for biomarker analysis to provide mechanistic insights, focusing on indicators of DNA damage (e.g., y-H2AX) and apoptosis (e.g., cleaved caspase-3). It is expected that the triple combination of Compound A + 5-FU + PARP inhibitor will demonstrate synergistically effective results.
