The present disclosure relates generally to therapeutics and compositions for treating cancers, and more specifically to the use of Bruton's Tyrosine Kinase (BTK) inhibitors in combination with B-cell chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL)/lymphoma 2 (BCL-2) inhibitors for treating cancers. The present disclosure also relates to the use of a phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase (PI3K) inhibitor in combination with B-cell chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL)/lymphoma 2 (BCL-2) inhibitors for treating cancers.
BTK inhibitors useful in treating hematological cancers include those taught in U.S. Pat. No. 8,940,725 (Yamamoto et al.) and U.S. Pat. No. 7,514,444 (Honigberg et al.). Entospletinib, also known as GS-9973, is a Syk inhibitor in clinical development, the synthesis of which can be seen in U.S. Pat. Nos. 8,450,321 and 8,455,493. WO 2014/168975 teaches a combination of the Btk inhibitor ibrutinib with a Syk inhibitor, specifically referencing R406, and with a Bcl-2 inhibitor, including ABT-737, ABT-199, and HA14-1
Various compounds that inhibit the activity of anti-apoptotic BCL proteins are known in the art. Several BCL-2-selective apoptosis inducing compounds may be used in treating cancer. However, some BCL-2 inhibitors may cause thrombocytopenia and have limited use in clinical treatments (see e.g., Zhang et al., Cell Death and Differentiation 14: 943-951, 2007). Thus, there remains a need for alternative therapies to treat cancer in humans.

Such isotopically labeled compounds may be useful in metabolic studies, reaction kinetic studies, detection or imaging techniques, such as positron emission tomography (PET) or single-photon emission computed tomography (SPECT) including drug or substrate tissue distribution assays or in radioactive treatment of subjects (e.g. humans). Also provided for isotopically labeled compounds described herein are any pharmaceutically acceptable salts, or hydrates, as the case may be.
In some variations, the compounds disclosed herein may be varied such that from 1 to n hydrogens attached to a carbon atom is/are replaced by deuterium, in which n is the number of hydrogens in the molecule. Such compounds may exhibit increased resistance to metabolism and are thus useful for increasing the half life of the compound when administered to a mammal. See, for example, Foster, “Deuterium Isotope Effects in Studies of Drug Metabolism”, Trends Pharmacol. Sci. 5(12):524-527 (1984). Such compounds are synthesized by means well known in the art, for example by employing starting materials in which one or more hydrogens have been replaced by deuterium.
Deuterium labeled or substituted therapeutic compounds of the disclosure may have improved DMPK (drug metabolism and pharmacokinetics) properties, relating to absorption, distribution, metabolism and excretion (ADME). Substitution with heavier isotopes such as deuterium may afford certain therapeutic advantages resulting from greater metabolic stability, for example increased in vivo half-life, reduced dosage requirements and/or an improvement in therapeutic index. An 18F labeled compound may be useful for PET or SPECT studies. Isotopically labeled compounds of this disclosure can generally be prepared by carrying out the procedures disclosed in the schemes or in the examples and preparations described below by substituting a readily available isotopically labeled reagent for a non-isotopically labeled reagent. It is understood that deuterium in this context is regarded as a substituent in the compounds provided herein.
The concentration of such a heavier isotope, specifically deuterium, may be defined by an isotopic enrichment factor. In the compounds of this disclosure any atom not specifically designated as a particular isotope is meant to represent any stable isotope of that atom. Unless otherwise stated, when a position is designated specifically as “H” or “hydrogen”, the position is understood to have hydrogen at its natural abundance isotopic composition. Accordingly, in the compounds of this disclosure any atom specifically designated as a deuterium (D) is meant to represent deuterium.
The term “pharmaceutically acceptable” with respect to a substance refers to that substance which is generally regarded as safe and suitable for use without undue toxicity, irritation, allergic response, and the like, commensurate with a reasonable benefit/risk ratio. As used herein, by “pharmaceutically acceptable” refers to a material that is not biologically or otherwise undesirable, e.g., the material may be incorporated into a pharmaceutical composition administered to a patient without causing any significant undesirable biological effects or interacting in a deleterious manner with any of the other components of the composition in which it is contained. Pharmaceutically acceptable vehicles (e.g., carriers, adjuvants, and/or other excipients) have preferably met the required standards of toxicological and manufacturing testing and/or are included on the Inactive Ingredient Guide prepared by the U.S. Food and Drug administration.
“Pharmaceutically acceptable salt” refers to a salt of a compound that is pharmaceutically acceptable and that possesses (or can be converted to a form that possesses) the desired pharmacological activity of the parent compound. Such salts include acid addition salts formed with inorganic acids such as hydrochloric acid, hydrobromic acid, sulfuric acid, nitric acid, phosphoric acid, and the like; or formed with organic acids such as acetic acid, benzenesulfonic acid, benzoic acid, camphorsulfonic acid, citric acid, ethanesulfonic acid, fumaric acid, glucoheptonic acid, gluconic acid, lactic acid, maleic acid, malonic acid, mandelic acid, methanesulfonic acid, 2-napththalenesulfonic acid, oleic acid, palmitic acid, propionic acid, stearic acid, succinic acid, tartaric acid, p-toluenesulfonic acid, trimethylacetic acid, and the like, and salts formed when an acidic proton present in the parent compound is replaced by either a metal ion, e.g., an alkali metal ion, an alkaline earth ion, or an aluminum ion; or coordinates with an organic base such as diethanolamine, triethanolamine, N-methylglucamine and the like. “Pharmaceutically acceptable salts” include, for example, salts with inorganic acids and salts with an organic acid. Examples of salts may include hydrochlorate, phosphate, diphosphate, hydrobromate, sulfate, sulfinate, nitrate, malate, maleate, fumarate, tartrate, succinate, citrate, acetate, lactate, mesylate, p-toluenesulfonate, 2-hydroxyethylsulfonate, benzoate, salicylate, stearate, and alkanoate (such as acetate, HOOC—(CH2)n—COOH where n is 0-4). In addition, if the compounds described herein are obtained as an acid addition salt, the free base can be obtained by basifying a solution of the acid salt. Conversely, if the product is a free base, an addition salt, particularly a pharmaceutically acceptable addition salt, may be produced by dissolving the free base in a suitable organic solvent and treating the solution with an acid, in accordance with conventional procedures for preparing acid addition salts from base compounds. Also included in this definition are ammonium and substituted or quaternized ammonium salts. Representative non-limiting lists of pharmaceutically acceptable salts can be found in S. M. Berge et al., J. Pharma Sci., 66(1), 1-19 (1977), and Remington: The Science and Practice of Pharmacy, R. Hendrickson, ed., 21st edition, Lippincott, Williams & Wilkins, Philadelphia, Pa., (2005), at p. 732, Table 38-5, both of which are hereby incorporated by reference herein. Those skilled in the art will recognize various synthetic methodologies that may be used to prepare nontoxic pharmaceutically acceptable addition salts.
The terms “effective amount”, “pharmaceutically effective amount”, and “therapeutically effective amount” refer to an amount that may be effective to elicit the desired biological or medical response, including the amount of a compound that, when administered to a subject for treating a disease, is sufficient to effect such treatment for the disease. The effective amount will vary depending on the compound, the disease and its severity and the age, weight, etc., of the subject to be treated. The effective amount can include a range of amounts. A pharmaceutically effective amount includes amounts of an agent which are effective when combined with other agents.
Treatment” or “treating” is an approach for obtaining beneficial or desired results including clinical results. Beneficial or desired clinical results may include one or more of the following:
(i) decreasing one more symptoms resulting from the disease;
(ii) diminishing the extent of the disease and/or stabilizing the disease (e.g., delaying the worsening of the disease);
(iii) delaying the spread of the disease;
(iv) delaying or slowing the onset or recurrence of the disease and/or the progression of the disease;
(v) ameliorating the disease state and/or providing a remission (whether partial or total) of the disease and/or decreasing the dose of one or more other medications required to treat the disease;
(vi) increasing the quality of life;
(vii) prolonging survival;
(iix) slowing or arresting the development of one or more clinical symptoms associated with the disease or condition (e.g., stabilizing the disease or condition, preventing or delaying the worsening or progression of the disease or condition, and/or preventing or delaying the spread (e.g., metastasis) of the disease or condition); and/or
(ix) relieving the disease, that is, causing the regression of clinical symptoms (e.g., ameliorating the disease state, providing partial or total remission of the disease or condition, enhancing effect of another medication, delaying the progression of the disease, increasing the quality of life, and/or prolonging survival). Without being bound to any hypothesis or theory, the methods described herein comprising one or more agents (such as Compound A1, Compound B1, Compound C1(S), Compound D1, and/or obinutuzumab) may provide unexpected treatment benefits, including but not limited to shorter treatment periods, reducing or minimizing minimal residual disease in cancers, reducing or minimizing cancer resistance, increasing survival rates, decreasing symptoms, or slowing cancer development.
“Delaying” the development of a disease or condition means to defer, hinder, slow, retard, stabilize, and/or postpone development of the disease or condition. This delay can be of varying lengths of time, depending on the history of the disease or condition, and/or subject being treated. A method that “delays” development of a disease or condition is a method that reduces probability of disease or condition development in a given time frame and/or reduces the extent of the disease or condition in a given time frame, when compared to not using the method. Such comparisons are typically based on clinical studies, using a statistically significant number of subjects. Disease or condition development can be detectable using standard methods, such as routine physical exams, mammography, imaging, or biopsy. Development may also refer to disease or condition progression that may be initially undetectable and includes occurrence, recurrence, and onset.
For use in the methods described herein, the compound of Formula (II), or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt or co-crystal thereof, may be present in a pharmaceutical composition comprising the compound of Formula (II), or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt or co-crystal thereof, and at least one pharmaceutically acceptable vehicle. Pharmaceutically acceptable vehicles may include pharmaceutically acceptable carriers, adjuvants and/or other excipients, and other ingredients can be deemed pharmaceutically acceptable insofar as they are compatible with other ingredients of the formulation and not deleterious to the recipient thereof.
The pharmaceutical compositions of the compound of Formula (II), or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt or co-crystal thereof, described herein can be manufactured using any conventional method, e.g., mixing, dissolving, granulating, dragee-making, levigating, emulsifying, encapsulating, entrapping, melt-spinning, spray-drying, or lyophilizing processes. An optimal pharmaceutical formulation can be determined by one of skill in the art depending on the route of administration and the desired dosage. Such formulations can influence the physical state, stability, rate of in vivo release, and rate of in vivo clearance of the administered agent. Depending on the condition being treated, these pharmaceutical compositions can be formulated and administered systemically or locally.
The term “carrier” refers to diluents, disintegrants, precipitation inhibitors, surfactants, glidants, binders, lubricants, and other excipients and vehicles with which the compound is administered. Carriers are generally described herein and also in “Remington's Pharmaceutical Sciences” by E. W. Martin. Examples of carriers include, but are not limited to, aluminum monostearate, aluminum stearate, carboxymethylcellulose, carboxymethylcellulose sodium, crospovidone, glyceryl isostearate, glyceryl monostearate, hydroxyethyl cellulose, hydroxyethyl cellulose, hydroxymethyl cellulose, hydroxyoctacosanyl hydroxystearate, hydroxypropyl cellulose, hydroxypropyl cellulose, hydroxypropyl methylcellulose, lactose, lactose monohydrate, magnesium stearate, mannitol, microcrystalline cellulose, poloxamer 124, poloxamer 181, poloxamer 182, poloxamer 188, poloxamer 237, poloxamer 407, povidone, silicon dioxide, colloidal silicon dioxide, silicone, silicone adhesive 4102, and silicone emulsion. It should be understood, however, that the carriers selected for the pharmaceutical compositions, and the amounts of such carriers in the composition, may vary depending on the method of formulation (e.g., dry granulation formulation, solid dispersion formulation).
The term “diluent” generally refers to a substance used to dilute the compound of interest prior to delivery. Diluents can also serve to stabilize compounds. Examples of diluents may include starch, saccharides, disaccharides, sucrose, lactose, polysaccharides, cellulose, cellulose ethers, hydroxypropyl cellulose, sugar alcohols, xylitol, sorbitol, maltitol, microcrystalline cellulose, calcium or sodium carbonate, lactose, lactose monohydrate, dicalcium phosphate, cellulose, compressible sugars, dibasic calcium phosphate dehydrate, mannitol, microcrystalline cellulose, and tribasic calcium phosphate.
The term “disintegrant” generally refers to a substance which, upon addition to a solid preparation, facilitates its break-up or disintegration after administration and permits the release of an active ingredient as efficiently as possible to allow for its rapid dissolution. Examples of disintegrants may include maize starch, sodium starch glycolate, croscarmellose sodium, crospovidone, microcrystalline cellulose, modified corn starch, sodium carboxymethyl starch, povidone, pregelatinized starch, and alginic acid.
The term “precipitation inhibitors” generally refers to a substance that prevents or inhibits precipitation of the active agent from a supersaturated solution. One example of a precipitation inhibitor includes hydroxypropylmethylcellulose (HPMC).
The term “surfactants” generally refers to a substance that lowers the surface tension between a liquid and a solid that could improve the wetting of the active agent or improve the solubility of the active agent. Examples of surfactants include poloxamer and sodium lauryl sulfate.
The term “glidant” generally refers to substances used in tablet and capsule formulations to improve flow-properties during tablet compression and to produce an anti-caking effect. Examples of glidants may include colloidal silicon dioxide, talc, fumed silica, starch, starch derivatives, and bentonite.
The term “binder” generally refers to any pharmaceutically acceptable film which can be used to bind together the active and inert components of the carrier together to maintain cohesive and discrete portions. Examples of binders may include hydroxypropylcellulose, hydroxypropylmethylcellulose, povidone, copovidone, and ethyl cellulose.
The term “lubricant” generally refers to a substance that is added to a powder blend to prevent the compacted powder mass from sticking to the equipment during the tableting or encapsulation process. A lubricant can aid the ejection of the tablet form the dies, and can improve powder flow. Examples of lubricants may include magnesium stearate, stearic acid, silica, fats, calcium stearate, polyethylene glycol, sodium stearyl fumarate, or talc; and solubilizers such as fatty acids including lauric acid, oleic acid, and C8/C10 fatty acid.
The therapeutically effective amount may vary depending on the subject, and disease or condition being treated, the weight and age of the subject, the severity of the disease or condition, and the manner of administering, which can readily be determined by one or ordinary skill in the art.
The dosing regimen of the compounds described herein, i.e. Compound A1, Compound B1, Compound B2, Compound B3, Compound C1, Compound C1(S), Compound D1, Formula II, or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt or co-crystal thereof, provided herein may vary depending upon the indication, route of administration, and severity of the condition. The dosing regimen of the compounds of Formula A1, and a Syk inhibiting compound of Formula D1 or of Formula (II), or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt or co-crystal thereof, in the methods provided herein may vary depending upon the indication, route of administration, and severity of the condition, for example. Depending on the route of administration, a suitable dose can be calculated according to body weight, body surface area, or organ size. The final dosing regimen is determined by the attending physician in view of good medical practice, considering various factors that modify the action of drugs, e.g., the specific activity of the compound, the identity and severity of the disease state, the responsiveness of the subject, the age, condition, body weight, sex, and diet of the subject, and the severity of any infection. Additional factors that can be taken into account include time and frequency of administration, drug combinations, reaction sensitivities, and tolerance/response to therapy. Further refinement of the doses appropriate for treatment involving any of the formulations mentioned herein is done routinely by the skilled practitioner without undue experimentation, especially in light of the dosing information and assays disclosed, as well as the pharmacokinetic data observed in human clinical trials. Appropriate doses can be ascertained through use of established assays for determining concentration of the agent in a body fluid or other sample together with dose response data.
The formulation and route of administration chosen may be tailored to the individual subject, the nature of the condition to be treated in the subject, and generally, the judgment of the attending practitioner.

Moreover, initial doses of a BTK inhibiting compound of Compound A1, or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt or co-crystal thereof, may be selected from 20 mg, 40 mg, 80 mg, 150 mg, 200 mg, or 250 mg, each administered once, twice, or three times daily.
The frequency of dosing will depend on the pharmacokinetic parameters of the compound administered, the route of administration, and the particular disease treated. The dose and frequency of dosing may also depend on pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic, as well as toxicity and therapeutic efficiency data. For example, pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic information about the Syk inhibiting compound of Formula D1 or of Formula (II), or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt or co-crystal thereof, can be collected through preclinical in vitro and in vivo studies, later confirmed in humans during the course of clinical trials. Thus, for the compound of Formula D1 or of Formula (II), or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt or co-crystal thereof, used in the methods provided herein, a therapeutically effective dose can be estimated initially from biochemical and/or cell-based assays. Similar, for Compound A1, Compound B1, Compound B2, Compound B3, Compound C1, Compound C1(S), or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt or co-crystal thereof, used in the methods provided herein, a therapeutically effective dose may be estimated initially from biochemical and/or cell-based assays. Then, dosage can be formulated in animal models to achieve a desirable circulating concentration range that modulates Syk expression or activity. As human studies are conducted further information will emerge regarding the appropriate dosage levels and duration of treatment for various diseases and conditions.
Toxicity and therapeutic efficacy of the compound of Formula D1 or of Formula (II), or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt or co-crystal thereof, can be determined by standard pharmaceutical procedures in cell cultures or experimental animals, e.g., for determining the LD50 (the dose lethal to 50% of the population) and the ED50 (the dose therapeutically effective in 50% of the population). Also, toxicity and therapeutic efficacy of Compound A1, Compound B1, Compound B2, Compound B3, Compound C1, Compound C1(S), or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt or co-crystal thereof, can be determined by standard pharmaceutical procedures in cell cultures or experimental animals, e.g., for determining the LD50 (the dose lethal to 50% of the population) and the ED50 (the dose therapeutically effective in 50% of the population). The dose ratio between toxic and therapeutic effects is the “therapeutic index”, which typically is expressed as the ratio LD50/ED50. Compounds that exhibit large therapeutic indices, i.e., the toxic dose is substantially higher than the effective dose, are preferred. The data obtained from such cell culture assays and additional animal studies can be used in formulating a range of dosage for human use. The doses of such compounds lies preferably within a range of circulating concentrations that include the ED50 with little or no toxicity.
Compositions (including, for example, formulations and unit dosages) comprising a compound of Formula A1, Formula D1, or Formula (II), or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt or co-crystal thereof, can be prepared and placed in an appropriate container, and labeled for treatment of an indicated condition.

The human in need thereof may be an individual who has or is suspected of having a cancer. In some of variations, the human is at risk of developing a cancer (e.g., a human who is genetically or otherwise predisposed to developing a cancer) and who has or has not been diagnosed with the cancer. As used herein, an “at risk” subject is a subject who is at risk of developing cancer (e.g., a cancer, a hematologic malignancy or a B-cell malignancy). The subject may or may not have detectable disease, and may or may not have displayed detectable disease prior to the treatment methods described herein. An at risk subject may have one or more so-called risk factors, which are measurable parameters that correlate with development of cancer, such as described herein. A subject having one or more of these risk factors has a higher probability of developing cancer than an individual without these risk factor(s).
These risk factors may include, for example, age, sex, race, diet, history of previous disease, presence of precursor disease, genetic (e.g., hereditary) considerations, and environmental exposure. In some embodiments, a human at risk for cancer includes, for example, a human whose relatives have experienced this disease, and those whose risk is determined by analysis of genetic or biochemical markers. Prior history of having cancer may also be a risk factor for instances of cancer recurrence.

The cancer may be resistant to treatment from the beginning of treatment, or may become resistant during the course of treatment, for example after the treatment has shown some effect on the cancer, but not enough to be considered a remission or partial remission. A subject in “relapse” means that the cancer has returned or the signs and symptoms of cancer have returned after a period of improvement, e.g., after a treatment has shown effective reduction in the cancer, such as after a subject is in remission or partial remission.
In some variations, the human is (i) refractory to at least one anti-cancer therapy, or (ii) in relapse after treatment with at least one anti-cancer therapy, or both (i) and (ii). In some embodiments, the human is refractory to at least two, at least three, or at least four anti-cancer therapies (including, for example, standard or experimental chemotherapies).
In another aspect, provided is a method for sensitizing a human who is (i) refractory to at least one chemotherapy treatment, or (ii) in relapse after treatment with chemotherapy, or both (i) and (ii), wherein the method comprises administering a BTK inhibitor in combination with a BCL-2 inhibitor, as described herein, to the human. A human who is sensitized is a human who is responsive to the treatment involving administration of a BTK inhibitor in combination with a BCL-2 inhibitor, as described herein, or who has not developed resistance to such treatment.
In another aspect, provided is a method for sensitizing a human who is (i) refractory to at least one chemotherapy treatment, or (ii) in relapse after treatment with chemotherapy, or both (i) and (ii), wherein the method comprises administering a PI3K inhibitor in combination with a BCL-2 inhibitor, as described herein, to the human.

In some variations, a therapeutically effective amount refers to an amount that is sufficient to effect treatment, as defined below, when administered to a subject (e.g., a human) in need of such treatment. The therapeutically effective amount will vary depending upon the subject and disease condition being treated, the weight and age of the subject, the severity of the disease condition, the manner of administration and the like, which can readily be determined by one of ordinary skill in the art. For example, in one variation, a therapeutically effective amount of Compound A1, or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt or hydrate thereof, is an amount sufficient to modulate BTK expression, and thereby treat a human suffering an indication, or to ameliorate or alleviate the existing symptoms of the indication. In one variation, a therapeutically effective amount of Compound B1, Compound B2 or Compound B3, or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof, is an amount sufficient to modulate activity of anti-apoptotic BCL-2 proteins, and thereby treat a human suffering an indication, or to ameliorate or alleviate the existing symptoms of the indication.
In another variation, the therapeutically effective amount of the BTK inhibitor, such as Compound A1, or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt or hydrate thereof, may be an amount sufficient to decrease a symptom of a disease or condition responsive to inhibition of BTK activity. In another variation, the therapeutically effective amount of the BCL-2 inhibitor, such as Compound B1, Compound B2 or Compound B3, or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof, may be an amount sufficient to decrease activity of anti-apoptotic BCL-2 proteins.

The study was conducted to evaluate the potency of the BTK inhibitor, Compound A1, to induce apoptosis in primary chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) cells in the absence and presence of stromal cell co-culture with αIgM/αIgG/αCD40 co-stimulation. The secondary objective was to determine if the combination of Compound A1 with the BCL-2 inhibitor, Compound B1, could enhance the apoptotic effect of the single agents in primary CLL cells.
Samples of Compounds A1 and B1 were prepared as 10 mM stocks in dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO). Before use, compounds were either thawed from 10 mM DMSO stocks frozen in 0.75 mL polypropylene tubes at −20° C., or aliquoted from 10 mM DMSO stocks stored at room temperature in glass storage vials.
The reagents used in these assays are listed in Table 1.
The HS-5 human stromal cell line was obtained from ATCC (American Tissue Type Collection). Cells were maintained in lymphocyte growth medium (LGM): RPMI-1640 supplemented with 10% FBS, 1% penicillin-streptomycin, 10 mM HEPES, 1 mM sodium pyruvate, 55 μM β-mercaptoethanol, and 2 mM GlutaMax. With informed consent, whole blood was obtained from CLL subjects.
Peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) were prepared from human whole blood obtained from CLL patients by Ficoll-separation in CPT tubes according to manufacturer's directions (Becton Dickinson). Isolated PBMCs were cryopreserved in freezing medium (50% IMDM, 40% FBS, and 10% DMSO) and held in the gas phase of liquid nitrogen until use. One day prior to plating of primary CLL cells, wells of a U-bottom 96-well plate were coated with 3.0×104 HS-5 cells and allowed to adhere overnight in a humidified 37° C. incubator supplemented with 5% CO2. The % CD5+/CD19+ cells isolated were quantified via FACS staining.
One day prior to plating of primary CLL cells, wells of a U-bottom 96-well plate were coated with 3.0×104 HS-5 cells and allowed to adhere overnight in a humidified 37° C. incubator supplemented with 5% CO2.
Frozen primary CLL PBMCs were thawed, washed once in LGM, and rested for 3-5 hours in LGM at 37° C. prior to plating. Cells were then centrifuged at room temperature for 10 minutes and resuspended at 1.0-2.5×105 cells/mL in LGM for plating. Assay wells were set up in U-bottom 96-well tissue culture plates in the absence or presence of HS-5 co-culture. Compounds were diluted as described below. Assay plates were incubated for 1 hour prior to stimulation with αIgM/αIgG (7.8 μg/well) and αCD40 (4 μg/well). Positive and negative controls were set up. Cells were incubated for 66-72 hours in a 37° C. CO2 incubator and assayed for apoptosis.
Combination plates (Compound A1×Compound B1) were prepared as 8×3 or 3×3 matrices of compounds. In the 8×3 matrix, Compound A1 was prepared in half-log dilutions (10 μM-3 nM) and combined with Compound B1 (30, 10, 3 nM). Drug concentrations were selected based on free drug concentrations at clinically achievable exposures and adjusted for protein binding under the assay concentrations. Concentrations listed refer to final assay values.
Compounds were diluted from 10 mM DMSO stock solutions. Compound combinations were prepared by transferring 2 μl each of the appropriate working compound solutions or vehicle to wells of a 96-well polypropylene plate. A daughter plate was made by 100× dilution into media. The final assay plate was made by 10× dilution into the final assay plate described above. The final DMSO concentration was 0.1%.
Cells were transferred to a deep well (2 mL) assay block and rinsed with 1 mL cation free PBS (PBS−/−). Cells were resuspended in Invitrogen's aqua Live/Dead reagent according to manufacturer's instructions and incubated 30 minutes on ice. Aqua Live/Dead was quenched with an equal volume of PBS+/+ and 4% FBS (FACS buffer). Cells were centrifuged and labeled with αCD5-PE, αCD19-BV421 and AnnexinV-APC in a total volume of 80 μL and incubated 30 minutes on ice. After labeling, cells were rinsed twice in FACS buffer and then fixed with BD Fixation buffer for 30 minutes on ice. Cells were rinsed twice with FACS buffer and analyzed.
The percentage of CD5+/CD19+ cells was quantified in the PBMCs to provide an assessment of the malignant cell population in each sample. To evaluate apoptosis, flow cytometric sampling of 50 μL cell suspensions (5,000-25,000 total events) were collected on a BD FACS Canto II instrument using a high throughput screen (HTS) autosampler. The CD5+CD19+ population was gated, and data were collected for the Annexin V−/Live-Dead−, AnnexinV+/Live-Dead−, AnnexinV+/Live-Dead+, and Annexin V−/Live-Dead+ CLL populations.
Annexin V+/Live-Dead− or Annexin V−/Live-Dead+ cells were gated and percentages of positive cells in each population were recorded for each well and data were extracted to a flow cytometry standard (fcs) file. Average percentages of Annexin V+/Live-Dead− and Annexin V−/Live-Dead+ were determined.
EC50 values were calculated based on log concentration of drug and percent Annexin V+/Live-Dead− and Annexin V−/Live-Dead+ cells using a 4 parameter nonlinear regression algorithm in Prism 6.01 of the GraphPad software (San Diego, Calif. USA, www.graphpad.com). Each run generated a single EC50 based on duplicate well values at each compound dilution. EC50 values and Hill slopes generated from each curve fit were reported.
Synergy of the drug combinations was assessed using the Bliss Model of Independence (Meletiadis J, et al., “Assessing in vitro combinations of antifungal drugs against yeasts and filamentous fungi: comparison of different drug interaction models.” Med Mycol 2005; 43(2):133-52). CLL cells were treated with the compounds both singly and in combination. The percentage of unaffected cells was determined for each individual compound at each concentration of the compound that was tested. The predicated additive interaction of the two individual compounds was calculated using the equation:
F
A=1−(FUA1×FUA2) 1)
B=A−FA 2)
To determine whether Compound C1 could inhibit primary CLL cell apoptosis, a modified co-culture assay system was utilized. This in vitro system was designed to mimic the CLL cells' cellular interactions that exist with the stromal microenvironment found in vivo in lymph nodes or in the bone marrow. A summary of individual CLL subjects' PBMC apoptosis quantified in the presence or absence of αIgM/αIgG/αCD40 stimulation (+HS-5 co-culture) is presented in Table 2.

Using matched patients' CLL cells, there was a 37% increased cell viability when cells were cultured with HS-5 cells (27.4% apoptosis) as opposed to without HS-5 co-culture (43.8% apoptosis) (
Compound A1 induced apoptosis in primary CLL cells from 5 donors stimulated with αIgM/αIgG/αCD40, resulting in a geometric mean EC50 (±standard deviation) value of 27.2±11.3 nM (N=4) and an average maximal apoptosis of 21.1% at 1 M (
Combinations of Compound A1 with Compound B1 Increase Apoptosis in Primary CLL
To assess for synergistic effects on apoptosis, the combination of Compound A1 with Compound B1 was tested in 8 individual primary CLL patient samples. To characterize the effects of the combinations, Compound A1 and Compound B1 were dosed in an 8×3 or 3×3 combination matrix as described above with CLL cells and treated for 66-72 h. The Bliss model of independence was used to score for synergy. The measured apoptosis versus the calculated Bliss score for synergy was plotted for each individual pairwise concentration assay point and the results are depicted in
Addition of B1 in pairwise combination with A1 had in general an additive effect and some evidence of synergy. Combination of A1 with B1 resulted in generally additive to mildly synergistic responses (
Protective or pro-survival signals can be induced in primary CLL cells by stimulation of the BCR or CD40 receptor and by signals induced by contact or cytokines produced by bone marrow stromal cells in the tumor microenvironment. In these studies, co-culture of CLL cells with stromal HS-5 cells, stimulation with BCR and CD40 receptor stimuli, or the combination of co-culture and BCR/CD40 receptor stimulation, led to an increase in CLL cell survival over the 66-72h assay period. The BTK inhibitor, Compound A1, induced apoptosis in primary CLL cells stimulated with αIgM/αIgG/αCD40 with a geometric mean EC50 (±standard deviation) value of 27.2±11.3 nM (N=4) and an average maximal apoptosis of 21.1% screened at 1 μM compound.
Compound B1 has shown clinical efficacy in CLL. In these studies, all compounds were able to induce primary CLL cell apoptosis with αIgM/αIgG/αCD40 stimulation, +HS-5 cell co-culture. Addition of Compound B1 in pairwise combination with Compound A1 increased the apoptotic effect beyond that achievable with BTK inhibition alone. Of the 8 primary CLL samples tested with this combination, 6 showed a clear additive response. The combination of Compounds A1 and B1 resulted in additive to synergistic responses in all 8 primary CLL samples tested.
These results demonstrate that Compound A1 can cause apoptosis of primary CLL cells and can interfere with the protective or pro-survival signaling induced in primary CLL cells by BCR and CD40 receptor signaling and by signals induced by interactions between CLL and stromal cells. This apoptotic effect was enhanced by the addition of clinically achievable levels of Compound B1.
The study was conducted to evaluate the potency of the PI3K inhibitor, Compound C1, and the BCL-2 inhibitor, Compound B1, to induce apoptosis in primary chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) cells with αIgM/αIgG/αCD40 co-stimulation in the absence and presence of stromal cell co-culture. The secondary objective was to determine if the combination of Compound C1 with the BCL-2 inhibitor, Compound B1, could enhance the apoptotic effect of the single agents in primary CLL cells with αIgM/αIgG/αCD40 co-stimulation in the absence and presence of stromal cell co-culture.
Samples of Compounds C1 and B1 were prepared as 10 mM stocks in dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO). Before use, compounds were either thawed from 10 mM DMSO stocks frozen in 0.75 mL polypropylene tubes at −20° C., or aliquoted from 10 mM DMSO stocks stored at room temperature in glass storage vials.

In the 4×9 matrix, Compound C1 was used at concentrations of 0, 30, 100, or 300 nM and Compound B1 was used at concentrations of 0.8, 1.6, 3.13, 6.25, 12.5, 25, 50, 100, or 200 nM. In the 4×3 matrix, Compound C1 was used at concentrations of 0, 30, 120, or 480 nM and Compound B1 was used at concentrations of 3, 10, or 30 nM).

Stimulation of CLL cells by αIgM/αIgG/αCD40 led to a variable, but statistically significant, protection of primary CLL cells in vitro (p=0001), and co-culture with the stromal cell line, HS-5, in conjunction with αIgM/αIgG/αCD40 stimulation further reduced the observed level of apoptosis (p=0.0051). Compound C1 and Compound B1 were able to induce apoptosis in primary αIgM/αIgG/αCD40 stimulated CLL cells with an average maximal proportion of apoptotic cells of 23%, and 91.4%, respectively.

To assess for synergistic effects on apoptosis, the combination of Compound C1 with Compound B1 was tested in multiple individual primary CLL patient samples (i.e., 9 individual primary CLL patient samples). To characterize the effects of the combinations, Compound C1 and Compound B1 were dosed in a 4×9 or 4×3 combination matrix as described above with CLL cells and treated for 66-72 h. The Bliss model of independence was used to score for synergy. The measured apoptosis versus the calculated Bliss score for synergy was plotted for each individual pairwise concentration assay point and the results are depicted in
The addition of Compound B1 to Compound C1 had an additive to synergistic effects on induction of apoptosis in primary CLL cells from all patients tested, and increased the maximal level of apoptosis (
Protective or pro-survival signals can be induced in primary CLL cells by stimulation of the BCR or CD40 receptor and by signals induced by contact or cytokines produced by bone marrow stromal cells in the tumor microenvironment. In these studies, co-culture of CLL cells with stromal HS-5 cells, stimulation with BCR and CD40 receptor stimuli, or the combination of co-culture and BCR/CD40 receptor stimulation, led to an increase in CLL cell survival over the 66-72h assay period.

To evaluate apoptosis, flow cytometric sampling of 50 μL cell suspensions (5,000-25,000 total events) were collected on a BD FACS Canto II instrument using a high throughput screen (HTS) autosampler. The CD5+CD19+ population was gated, and data were collected for the Annexin V−/Live-Dead−, AnnexinV+/Live-Dead−, AnnexinV+/Live-Dead+, and Annexin V−/Live-Dead+ CLL populations.
Data Analysis
Annexin V+/Live-Dead− or Annexin V−/Live-Dead+ cells were gated and percentages of positive cells in each population were recorded for each well and data were extracted to a flow cytometry standard (fcs) file. Average percentages of Annexin V+/Live-Dead− and Annexin V−/Live-Dead+ were determined.
EC50 values were calculated based on log concentration of drug and percent Annexin V+/Live-Dead− and Annexin V−/Live-Dead+ cells using a 4 parameter nonlinear regression algorithm in Prism 6.01 of the GraphPad software (San Diego, Calif. USA, www.graphpad.com). Each run generated a single EC50 based on duplicate well values at each compound dilution. EC50 values and Hill slopes generated from each curve fit were reported.
Synergy of the drug combinations was assessed using the Bliss Model of Independence. CLL cells were treated with the compounds both singly and in combination. The percentage of unaffected cells was determined for each individual compound at each concentration of the compound that was tested. The predicated additive interaction of the two individual compounds was calculated using the equation

Results
To determine whether Compound A1 could inhibit primary CLL cell apoptosis, a modified co-culture assay system was utilized. This in vitro system was designed to mimic the CLL cells' cellular interactions that exist with the stromal microenvironment found in vivo in lymph nodes or in the bone marrow. A summary of individual CLL subjects' PBMC apoptosis quantified in the presence or absence of αIgM/αIgG/αCD40 stimulation (+HS-5 co-culture) is presented in

Using matched patients' CLL cells, there was a 37% increased cell viability when cells were cultured with HS-5 cells (27.4% apoptosis) as opposed to without HS-5 co-culture (43.8% apoptosis) (
Single Agent Induction of Apoptosis in Primary CLL Cells
Compound A1 induced apoptosis in primary CLL cells from 5 donors stimulated with
αIgM/αIgG/αCD40, resulting in a geometric mean EC50 (±standard deviation) value of 27.2±11.3 nM (N=4) and an average maximal apoptosis of 21.1% at 1 μM (
Combinations of Compound A1 with Compound D1 Increase Apoptosis in Primary CLL
To assess for synergistic effects on apoptosis with Compound A1 combined with Compound B1, was tested in 8 individual primary CLL patient samples. To characterize the effects of the combinations, Compound A1 or Compound D1, were dosed in an 8×3 or 3×3 combination matrix with CLL cells and treated for 66-72 h. The Bliss model of independence was used to score for synergy. The measured apoptosis versus the calculated Bliss score for synergy was plotted for each individual pairwise concentration assay point and the results are depicted in
Addition of D1 in pairwise combination with A1 had in general an additive effect and some evidence of synergy. Combination of A1 with B1 resulted in a generally additive to mildly synergistic response
Protective or pro-survival signals can be induced in primary CLL cells by stimulation of the BCR or CD40 receptor and by signals induced by contact or cytokines produced by bone marrow stromal cells in the tumor microenvironment. In these studies, co-culture of CLL cells with stromal HS-5 cells, stimulation with BCR and CD40 receptor stimuli, or the combination of co-culture and BCR/CD40 receptor stimulation, led to an increase in CLL cell survival over the 66-72h assay period. The BTK inhibitor, Compound A1, induced apoptosis in primary CLL cells stimulated with αIgM/αIgG/αCD40 with a geometric mean EC50 (±standard deviation) value of 27.2±11.3 nM (N=4) and an average maximal apoptosis of 21.1% screened at 1 μM compound.
Compound D1 has shown clinical efficacy in CLL. In these studies, all compounds were able to induce primary CLL cell apoptosis with αIgM/αIgG/αCD40 stimulation, +HS-5 cell co-culture. Addition of Compound D1 in pairwise combination with Compound A1 increased the apoptotic effect beyond that achievable with BTK inhibition alone. Of the 8 primary CLL samples tested with this combination, 6 showed a clear additive response. The combination of Compounds A1 and D1 resulted in additive to synergistic responses in all 8 primary CLL samples tested.
These results demonstrate that Compound A1 can cause apoptosis of primary CLL cells and can interfere with the protective or pro-survival signaling induced in primary CLL cells by BCR and CD40 receptor signaling and by signals induced by interactions between CLL and stromal cells. This apoptotic effect was enhanced by the addition of clinically achievable levels of Compound D1.
In the following example Compound A1 refers to a Btk inhibitor and Compound C1 refers to a P13K delta inhibitor or idelalisib and Compound D1 refers to an Syk inhibitor or entospletinib.
Study I: Target Population in the study are adults with relapsed or refractory CLL. Duration of Treatment would include Obinutuzumab will be administered for up to 8 doses over 21 weeks to subjects randomized to treatment with Compound A1+b (Compound C1)+obinutuzumab (Arm B). Combination treatment with the oral agents (Compound A1 and Compound C1) may be continue for all subjects for up to 104 weeks\Efficacy will be assessed per modified IWCLL 2008 criteria {Hallek et al 2008}:Lymph node, spleen and liver measurements by physical examination, complete blood count, lymph node, spleen and liver measurements by CT or MRI, peripheral blood MRD assessment, and bone marrow assessment including standard histopathology and MRD assessment.
The safety of the combination of Compound A180 mg once daily and idelalisib 50 mg twice daily with and without obinutuzumab will be evaluated in this study for at least 28 days. Benefits from combination therapy include the potential to achieve higher rates of response and improve duration of response and the potential for reduced toxicity with increased efficacy by the use of lower individual study drug doses in combination.
Study II: Subjects will be enrolled in two cohorts. The doses for each cohort are as follows. Dose level one only has one cohort wherein the dosage includes 50 mg twice daily of Compound C1 and 20 mg once daily of Compound A1. Dose level two include two cohorts. One cohort receives 50 mg twice daily of Compound C1 and 40 mg once daily of Compound A1. The other cohort receives 50 mg twice daily of Compound C1 and 20 mg twice daily of Compound A1. Dose level three also includes two cohorts. One cohort receives 50 mg twice daily of Compound C1 and to 80 mg once daily of Compound A1. The other cohort receives 50 mg twice daily of Compound C1 and 40 mg twice daily of Compound A1. Dose level four includes two cohorts. One cohort receives 50 mg twice daily of Compound C1 and 150 mg once daily Compound A1. The other cohort receives includes 50 mg twice daily of Compound C1 and 75 mg twice daily of Compound A1. Dose level five only includes one cohort wherein the dosage of Compound A1 is to be determined and the dosage of Compound C1 is 100 mg twice daily.
Study III: Subjects will be enrolled in the study with the starting dose will be 40 mg once daily of Compound A1 and 200 mg once daily of Compound D1. If 1 DLT occurs within 28 days from Cycle 1, Day 1 in Cohort 1A of Combination II, this cohort will be expanded to enroll 3 additional subjects. If ≥2 DLTs occur in Cohort 1A of Combination II, (ie, ≥2 subjects experience DLTs), development of the combination of Compound A1 and entospletinib will discontinue. If no DLTs in 3 subjects or <2 DLTs in up to 6 subjects are observed, then the dose will be escalated to dose Level 2.
Dose Level 2 will consist of 2 cohorts: Cohort 2A with Compound A1 80 mg once daily and Compound D1 200 mg once daily and Cohort 2B with Compound A1 40 mg once daily and Compound D1 400 mg once daily. The first 3 subjects enrolled in Dose Level 2 will be assigned to Cohort 2A; the next 3 subjects will be assigned to Cohort 2B. Dose level three will consist of 2 cohorts. One cohort with 150 mg once daily of Compound A1 and 200 mg once daily of Compound D1. The other cohort 40 mg once daily of Compound A1 and 400 mg once daily of Compound D1. Dose level four will also consist of two cohorts. One cohort with 150 mg once daily of Compound A1 and 400 mg once daily of Compound D1. The other cohort 40 mg twice daily of Compound A1 and 200 mg twice daily of Compound D1.
All available safety, tolerability, and PK data will be reviewed prior to proceeding to the next cohort. The maximum dose to be tested will be 150 mg total daily dose of Compound A1 and 400 mg total daily dose of Compound D1, however, the dose escalation will be adaptive, with cohorts for reduced dosing, intermediate dosing, or different schedule (once daily vs twice daily) added based on emerging safety, PK, pharmacodynamics, and efficacy results.

Screening will commence with obtaining the subject's signed informed consent and will occur up to 28 days prior to the first dosing of study drug on Cycle 1, Day 1. Baseline tumor assessment according to disease type will be measured and characterized prior to Cycle 1, Day 1 to assess the subject's disease status prior to beginning treatment.
Subjects who meet eligibility criteria will receive a single dose of Compound A1 on Cycle 1, Day 1 and then initiate Compound C1 or Compound D1 in combination with Compound A1 on Cycle 1, Day 2. The first cycle will consist of 28 days (1 day of single agent Compound A1 and 27 days of combination treatment), and each subsequent cycle will be 28 days of combination treatment. The assigned combination drug will remain consistent throughout the study. Safety and efficacy will be assessed, including assessment of tumor response, physical exam, vitals, ECG, collection of blood samples PK, pharmacodynamics, and biomarkers, and assessment of AEs. In addition, subjects will undergo a CT (or MRI) scan every 12 weeks, except DLBCL and CLL. Subjects with DLBCL will have an additional scan at week 6. Subjects with CLL will undergo scans at baseline, 24 weeks, and at the time of progression. A subject who does not show evidence of disease progression by clinical assessment or by CT (or MRI) may continue treatment until disease progression (clinical or radiographic)

Assessments for AEs and monitoring for laboratory abnormalities will be conducted on Days 1, 8, 15, and 22 of the first 28-day cycle.
Frozen peripheral blood samples from adult patients of Chronic Lymphoid Leukemia (CLL) were used for this study.
A small part of the thaw sample was stained with specific monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) in order to determine the number of pathological cells and the best combination of markers to identify pathological cells in each sample. Additionally, Annexin V was included in this combination to evaluate the initial viability of the sample. To analyze both viability and the best pair of antibodies to identify the target cell population, 20 μL of a combination of Annexin V, binding buffer (2.4 g HEPES, 8.19 g NaCl, 0.37 g C12Ca, H2O to 1 L), and the following mAbs was added to each well: CD19/CD20/CD10/CD5/CD23/CD45 for CLL samples
Native environment blood components for cell culture: In order to get the Native Environment for the cells to be cultured, the plasma and the RBC from the peripheral blood (PB) from donors or CLL samples were added. The plasma fractions were stored at −80° C. until use. RBC was kept at 4° C. for a maximum of 35 days after with the addition of the anticoagulant citrate phosphate dextrose adenine solution (CPDA-1; Terumo Corporation, Tokyo, Japan) to this fraction (150 μl CPDA/ml RBCs). For supplementing the CLL cell culture media, we used a 1:1 proportion of these two fractions (plasma and RBC)
Proliferation CFSE staining: The Vybrant® CFDA SE Cell Tracer Kit (Invitrogen, Thermo Fisher Scientific, Waltham, Mass., USA) was used to measure cell proliferation. CLL cells were adjusted at 10×106 cells/ml in AIM-V AlbuMAX culture media without FBS. CFSE was added to a lml cell suspension at a final concentration of 5 aM. After addition of CFSE, cells were vortexed and incubated at room temperature for 10 min with continuous shaking and light protected. At the end of the incubation period, the cells were resuspended in cold culture media with 10% FBS (complete culture media) and kept on ice for 5 min following two washes in cold complete culture media and maintained at 4° C. until use.
Assay Preparation: Cryopreserved CLL samples was diluted with AIM-V AlbuMAX (Invitrogen) supplemented with plasma and RBC provided from different CLL progressive samples, 10% of Human Serum (Sigma), 2% HEPES, 1% Zell Shield antibiotic (Labclinics, Barcelona, Spain), 1% L-glutamine 200 mM (Lonza, Hopkinton, Mass.), 1 μg/ml CpG ODN and 50 ng/ml IL-2. This mixture was dispensed into 96-well plates containing the HS5 (100:1) cell line and transferred into a new 96-well plate containing differrent drugs. (HS-5 cell lines were seed in 96-well plates and incubated for 24 hours to allow cells to adhere). Drug plates were previously prepared using an Echo 550 Liquid Handler (LabCyte, Sunnyvale, Calif.) at different concentration points. The plates were incubated for 96 hours at 37_C in humidified air containing 5% CO2. Later, proliferation and viability was tested by flow cytometry.
Viability staining: To lyse red blood cells, 180 mL of ammonium chloride lysis solution was added to each well (2 g KHCO3, 16.58 g NH4Cl, 0.074 g Na2-ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid [EDTA]_2H2O, H2O to 1 L). Following a 10 minute incubation period at 4° C., each plate was centrifuged for 5 minutes at 1200 rpm and the supernatant removed. The lysis step was performed twice. For staining, 20 μL of a combination of annexin-V and two best markers for each CLL sample, resuspended in binding buffer were added. After 15 minutes of incubation at room temperature in the dark, a wash step was performed using BB solution. The pellet was resuspended in 80 μL BB for analysis in Vivia's ExviTech platform.
ExviTech™ Platform: This novel flow cytometry based system incorporates a CyAn ADP cytometer (Beckman Coulter, Brea, Calif., US) and Vivia's proprietary novel End Point Sampler (EPS) plate handler. The EPS aspirates the contents of each well of the assay plate, and delivers contents to the flow cell of the cytometer. Each 96-well assay plate is collected as a single .fcs file from the CyAn cytometer. The EPS is run from the same computer as the cytometer, recording a second file for each well within the plate. This later file is a timing file, which is integrated with the .fcs file for data analysis by our proprietary software program, FCS Analyzer. This program is designed to separate the data from the 96 wells acquired by the cytometer as a single file, into 96 separate data sets based on the precise time in which each sample aliquot (each well) is aspired into the cytometer, and assigns well numbers to each data set. Each 96-well plate is then analyzed as a single file, but with the ability to examine each well individually as needed, corresponding to each different drug/concentration assayed.
Data Analysis: Response effect of each compound was measured by counting the number of live tumor cells that remains after the exposure to increasing concentrations of drug. Survival index percentage was calculated as the difference in the number of live cells in a well with drug vs basal level of cells in control wells without drug. Once the pathological cell subset was identified, we used Annexin V to exclude dying cells and measured only the number of live cells, in the drug wells and in the control wells. Those cells without Annexin V staining and with appropriate FSC/SSC were considered as live cells. FCS Analyzer was used to determine the effect of each of the individual drugs.
Single drug potency and efficacy was estimated by a modelling approach to dose-response experiments. The model used (Equation 1) to fit the data was the most common single-site sigmoidal dose-response inhibitory model based on the Hill equation, where the dependent variable (DV) analysed was the number of live pathological cells counted by the cytometer at every tested concentration of drug. Data points were fitted using the Levenburg Marquardt algorithm. A normalization of the results was followed, referring each data point to the basal level parameter (EO). This approach allows the calculation of the normalized area under the curve (AUC) value by integrating the curve function from the model between the lowest and highest concentrations.
Drug interaction analysis was carried out by calculating the Combination index as is described by Chou T. [2]. This is the easiest and most common way of measuring drugs interaction is the determination of the Combination Index, (Ci).
This index is calculated as the sum of the ratios of drug concentrations required to reach a particular effect (x) in the combination and the concentration required to reach the same effect when each drug is tested alone (Equation 3).
Ci
x=(CA|B/CA)+(CB|A/CB) [Equation 3]:
Where CA|B and CB|A are the concentrations of drug A and drug B respectively in the combination experiments, and CA and CB are the concentrations of each drug required to get the same effect when are tested as single drugs. These concentrations are calculated by interpolate the effect observed in combination, in each single drug curve.
The meaning of the Ci is indicated as follows:
Cix<1: Synergism; Cix˜1: Additive effect; Cix>1: Antagonism
Summary Interactions: Survival Percentage is calculated as the difference in the number of live cells in a well with a combination of drugs vs basal level of cells in control wells without drugs.
