The present invention relates to combinations of HDACi and PD-1 inhibitors and the use of such combinations in the treatment of cancer.
Cancer is a significant cause of morbidity and mortality worldwide. While the standards of care for many different cancer types have greatly improved over the years, current standards of care still fail to meet the need for effective therapies to improve treatment of cancer. The clinical use of immuno-oncology agents targeting cytotoxic T-lymphocyte-associated protein 4 (CTLA-4) and the programmed cell death receptor-1 (PD-1) and its ligand PD-L1, have resulted in improvements over the standard of care in the treatment of many cancer types. While these checkpoint inhibitors have produced improved clinical responses in such certain cancers, durable clinical responses only occur in approximately 10-45% of patients. Moreover, a significant number of tumors are either resistant or become refractory. Epigenetic modifiers such as histone deacetylase inhibitors (HDACi) have been successful in the treatment of some hematologic malignancies, but despite preclinical data demonstrating activity against solid tumors, this result has not translated to the clinic as a monotherapy. Accordingly, there is a need in the art for new therapies, including for example combination therapies, for the treatment of cancers. Provided herein are solutions to these and other problems in the art.
Provided herein, inter alia, are combinations that include a HDAC inhibitor (HDACi) and a PD-1 inhibitor. The combinations include a compound of formula I and a PD-1 inhibitor. In certain instances the PD-1 inhibitor is a PD-1 antibody.

Specific molecular antigens that can be bound by an antibody described herein include PD-1 and its epitopes.
The term “monoclonal antibody(ies)” refers to a population of antibody molecules that contain one species of an antigen binding site capable of immunoreacting with a particular epitope of an antigen, whereas the term “polyclonal antibody(ies)” refers to a population of antibody molecules that contain multiple species of antigen binding sites capable of interacting with a particular antigen. A monoclonal antibody, typically displays a single binding affinity for a particular antigen with which it immuno-reacts. For example, the monoclonal antibodies to be used in accordance with the present invention can be made by a variety of techniques, including, for example, the hybridoma method (e.g., Kohler and Milstein., Nature, 256:495-97 (1975); Hongo et al., Hybridoma, 14 (3): 253-260 (1995), Harlow et al., Antibodies: A Laboratory Manual, (Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory Press, 2nd ed. 1988); Hammerling et al., in: Monoclonal Antibodies and T-Cell Hybridomas 563-681 (Elsevier, N.Y., 1981)), recombinant DNA methods (see, e.g., U.S. Pat. No. 4,816,567), phage-display technologies (see, e.g., Clackson et al., Nature, 352: 624-628 (1991); Marks et al., J Mol. Biol. 222: 581-597 (1992); Sidhu et al., J. Mol. Biol. 338(2): 299-310 (2004); Lee et al., J. Mol. Biol. 340(5): 1073-1093 (2004); Fellouse, Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. USA 101(34): 12467-12472 (2004); and Lee et al., J. Immunol. Methods 284(1-2): 119-132 (2004), and technologies for producing human or human-like antibodies in animals that have parts or all of the human immunoglobulin loci or genes encoding human immunoglobulin sequences (see, e.g., WO 1998/24893; WO 1996/34096; WO 1996/33735; WO 1991/10741; Jakobovits et al., Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. USA 90: 2551 (1993); Jakobovits et al., Nature 362: 255-258 (1993); Bruggemann et al., Year in Immunol. 7:33 (1993); U.S. Pat. Nos. 5,545,807; 5,545,806; 5,569,825; 5,625,126; 5,633,425; and 5,661,016; Marks et al., Bio/Technology 10: 779-783 (1992); Lon berg et al., Nature 368: 856-859 (1994); Morrison, Nature 368: 812-813 (1994); Fishwild et al., Nature Biotechnol. 14: 845-851 (1996); Neuberger, Nature Biotechnol. 14: 826 (1996); and Lonberg and Huszar, Intern. Rev. Immunol. 13: 65-93 (1995).
The monoclonal antibodies herein also include “chimeric” antibodies (immunoglobulins) in which a portion of the heavy and/or light chain is identical with or homologous to corresponding sequences in antibodies derived from a particular species or belonging to a particular antibody class or subclass, while the remainder of the chain(s) is(are) identical with or homologous to corresponding sequences in antibodies derived from another species or belonging to another antibody class or subclass, as well as fragments of such antibodies, so long as they exhibit the desired biological activity (U.S. Pat. No. 4,816,567; Morrison et al., Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. USA, pp. 6851-6855 (1984)). “Humanized antibody(ies)” can be considered as a subset of chimeric antibodies described herein.
The term “human” when used in reference to an antibody or a functional fragment thereof (e.g., “humanized antibody(ies))” refers an antibody or functional fragment thereof that has a human variable region or a portion thereof corresponding to human germline immunoglobulin sequences. Such human germline immunoglobulin sequences are described by Kabat et al. (1991) Sequences of Proteins of Immunological Interest, Fifth Edition, U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, NIH Publication No. 91-3242. A human antibody, in the context of the present invention, can include an antibody that binds to PD-1 or variants thereof as described herein.
In certain instances a human antibody is an antibody that possesses an amino acid sequence corresponding to that of an antibody produced by a human and/or has been made using any of the techniques for making human antibodies as disclosed herein. Human antibodies can be produced using various techniques known in the art, including phage-display libraries. Hoogenboom and Winter, J. Mol. Biol., 227:381 (1991); Marks et al., J. Mol. Biol., 222:581 (1991). Also available for the preparation of human monoclonal antibodies are methods described in Cole et al., Monoclonal Antibodies and Cancer Therapy, Alan R. Liss, p. 77 (1985); Boemer et al., J. Immunol., 147(1):86-95 (1991). See also van Dijk and van de Winkel, Curr. Opin. Pharmacol., 0.2.: 368-74 (2001). Human antibodies can be prepared by administering the antigen to a transgenic animal that has been modified to produce such antibodies in response to antigenic challenge, but whose endogenous loci have been disabled, e.g., immunized xenomice (see, e.g., U.S. Pat. Nos. 6,075.181 and 6, 150,584 regarding XENOMOUSE technology). See also, for example, Li et al., Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. USA, 103:3557-3562 (2006) regarding human antibodies generated via a human B-cell hybridoma technology.
A “humanized antibody” refers to antibodies made by a non-human cell having variable or variable and constant regions which have been altered to more closely resemble antibodies that would be made by a human cell. For example, by altering the non-human antibody amino acid sequence to incorporate amino acids found in human germline immunoglobulin sequences. The humanized antibodies of the invention can include amino acid residues not encoded by human germline immunoglobulin sequences (e.g., mutations introduced by random or site-specific mutagenesis in vitro or by somatic mutation in vivo), for example in the CDRs. Humanized antibodies can also include antibodies in which CDR sequences derived from the germline of another mammalian species, such as a mouse, have been grafted onto human framework sequences.
Humanized forms of non-human (e.g., murine) antibodies are antibodies that contain minimal sequence derived from non-human immunoglobulin. In one embodiment, a humanized antibody is a human immunoglobulin (recipient antibody) in which residues from a hypervariable of the recipient are replaced by residues from an hypervariable region of a nonhuman species (donor antibody) such as mouse, rat, rabbit or non-human primate having the desired specificity, affinity, and/or capacity. In some instances, framework (“FR”) residues of the human immunoglobulin are replaced by corresponding non-human residues. Furthermore, humanized antibodies can comprise residues that are not found in the recipient antibody or in the donor antibody. These modifications can be made to further refine antibody performance, such as binding affinity. In general, a humanized antibody will comprise substantially all of at least one, and typically two, variable domains, in which all or substantially all of the hypervariable loops correspond to those of a non-human immunoglobulin sequence, and all or substantially all of the FR regions are those of a human immunoglobulin sequence, although the FR regions can include one or more individual FR residue substitutions that improve antibody performance, such as binding affinity, isomerization, immunogenicity, etc. The number of these amino acid substitutions in the FR are typically no more than 6 in the H chain, and in the L chain, no more than 3. The humanized antibody optionally can also include at least a portion of an immunoglobulin constant region (Fc), which can be a human immunoglobulin. Exemplary methods and humanized antibodies include those described by Jones et al. Nature 321:522-525 (1986); Riechmann et al. Nature 332:323-329 (1988); and Presta, Curr. Op. Struct. Biol. 2:593-596 (1992); Vaswani and Hamilton, Ann. Allergy. Asthma & Immunol. 1: 105-115 (1998); Harris, Biochem. Soc. Transactions 23:1035-1038 (1995); Burle and Gross, Curr. Op. Biotech. 5:428-433 (1994); and U.S. Pat. Nos. 6,982,321 and 7,087,409.
The term “functional fragment” when used in reference to an antibody refers to a portion of the antibody including heavy or light chain polypeptides that retains some or all of the binding activity as the antibody from which the fragment was derived. Such functional fragments can include, for example, an Fd, Fv, Fab, F(ab′), F(ab)2, F(ab′)2, single chain Fv (ScFv), diabody, triabody, tetrabody and minibody. Other functional fragments can include, for example, heavy or light chain polypeptides, variable region polypeptides or CDR polypeptides or portions thereof so long as such functional fragments retain binding activity. Such antibody binding fragments can be found described in, for example, Harlow and Lane, Antibodies: A Laboratory Manual, Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory, New York (1989); Myers (ed.), Molec. Biology and Biotechnology: A Comprehensive Desk Reference, New York: VCH Publisher, Inc.; Huston et al., Cell Biophysics, 22:189-224 (1993); Plückthun and Skerra, Meth. Enzymol., 178:497-515 (1989) and in Day, E. D., Advanced Immunochemistry, Second Ed., Wiley-Liss, Inc., New York, N.Y. (1990). Antibody Engineering, Second Edition, Oxford University Press, 1995.
The term “heavy chain” when used in reference to an antibody refers to a polypeptide chain of about 50-70 kDa, wherein the amino-terminal portion includes a variable region of about 120 to 130 or more amino acids and a carboxy-terminal portion that includes a constant region. The constant region can be one of five distinct types, referred to as alpha (α), delta (δ), epsilon (ε), gamma (γ) and mu (μ), based on the amino acid sequence of the heavy chain constant region. The distinct heavy chains differ in size: α, δ and γ contain approximately 450 amino acids, while μ and ε contain approximately 550 amino acids. When combined with a light chain, these distinct types of heavy chains give rise to five well known classes of antibodies, IgA, IgD, IgE, IgG and IgM, respectively, including four subclasses of IgG, namely IgG1, IgG2, IgG3 and IgG4. A heavy chain can be a human heavy chain.
The term “light chain” when used in reference to an antibody refers to a polypeptide chain of about 25 kDa, wherein the amino-terminal portion includes a variable region of about 100 to about 110 or more amino acids and a carboxy-terminal portion that includes a constant region. The approximate length of a light chain is 211 to 217 amino acids. There are two distinct types, referred to as kappa (κ) of lambda (λ) based on the amino acid sequence of the constant domains. Light chain amino acid sequences are well known in the art. A light chain can be a human light chain.
The term “variable domain” or “variable region” refers to a portion of the light or heavy chains of an antibody that is generally located at the amino-terminal of the light or heavy chain and has a length of about 120 to 130 amino acids in the heavy chain and about 100 to 110 amino acids in the light chain, and are used in the binding and specificity of each particular antibody for its particular antigen. The variable domains can differ extensively in sequence between different antibodies. The variability in sequence is concentrated in the CDRs while the less variable portions in the variable domain are referred to as framework regions (FR). The CDRs of the light and heavy chains are primarily responsible for the interaction of the antibody with antigen. Numbering of amino acid positions used herein is according to the EU Index, as in Kabat et al. (1991) Sequences of proteins of immunological interest. (U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, Washington, D.C.) 5th ed. A variable region can be a human variable region.
A CDR refers to one of three hypervariable regions (H1, H2 or H3) within the non-framework region of the immunoglobulin (Ig or antibody) VH β-sheet framework, or one of three hypervariable regions (L1, L2 or L3) within the non-framework region of the antibody VL β-sheet framework. Accordingly, CDRs are variable region sequences interspersed within the framework region sequences. CDR regions are well known to those skilled in the art and have been defined by, for example, Kabat as the regions of most hypervariability within the antibody variable (V) domains (Kabat et al., J. Biol. Chem. 252:6609-6616 (1977); Kabat, Adv. Prot. Chem. 32:1-75 (1978)). CDR region sequences also have been defined structurally by Chothia as those residues that are not part of the conserved β-sheet framework, and thus are able to adapt different conformations (Chothia and Lesk, J. Mol. Biol. 196:901-917 (1987)). Both terminologies are well recognized in the art. The positions of CDRs within a canonical antibody variable domain have been determined by comparison of numerous structures (Al-Lazikani et al., J. Mol. Biol. 273:927-948 (1997); Morea et al., Methods 20:267-279 (2000)). Because the number of residues within a hypervariable region varies in different antibodies, additional residues relative to the canonical positions are conventionally numbered with a, b, c and so forth next to the residue number in the canonical variable domain numbering scheme (Al-Lazikani et al., supra (1997)). Such nomenclature is similarly well known to those skilled in the art.
For example, CDRs defined according to either the Kabat (hypervariable), Chothia (structural), or MacCallum (J. Mol. Biol. 262:732-745 (1996)) designations, as set forth in the Table 1 below:
1 Residue numbering follows the nomenclature of Kabat et al., supra
2 Residue numbering follows the nomenclature of Chothia et al., supra

PD-1 inhibitors useful in the combinations described herein include any molecule capable of inhibiting, blocking, abrogating or interfering with the activity or expression of PD-1. In particular, a PD-1 inhibitor can be a small molecule compound, a nucleic acid, a polypeptide, an antibody, a peptibody, a diabody, a minibody, a single-chain variable fragment (ScFv), or a functional fragment or variant thereof. In one instance the PD-1 inhibitor is a small molecule compound (e.g., a compound having a molecule weight of less than about 1000 Da.) In other instances, useful PD-1 inhibitors in the combinations described herein include nucleic acids and polypeptides. The PD-1 inhibitor can be a polypeptide (e.g., macrocyclic polypeptide) such as those exemplified in U.S. Patent Application Publication No.: 2014/0294898, which is incorporated herein by reference in its entirety and for all purposes. In one example, the PD-1 inhibitor is an antibody, peptibody, diabody, minibody, ScFv, or a functional fragment thereof. In one example, the PD-1 inhibitor is AMP-224 (GSK).
AMP-224 is a recombinant fusion protein comprising an extracellular domain of the PD-1 ligand programmed cell death ligand 2 (PD-L2) and an Fc region of human IgG. Certain cancers can evade and suppress the immune system, in part, and without being bound by any particular theory by interactions between PD-1 and B7-H1. AMP-224 appears to block this interaction and therefore appears to overcome immune suppression.
In another example, the PD-1 inhibitor is a PD-1 antibody. The PD-1 antibody can be a monoclonal or polyclonal antibody. In certain embodiments, the PD-1 antibody is a monoclonal antibody.
PD-1 antibodies include all known types of antibodies and functional fragments thereof, including but not limited to, those exemplified herein such as, for example, human antibodies, mouse antibodies, chimeric antibodies, humanized antibodies, or chimeric humanized antibodies.
In one embodiment, the PD-1 antibody is a human antibody. In another embodiment, the PD-1 antibody is a mouse antibody. In still another embodiment, the PD-1 antibody is a chimeric antibody. In yet another embodiment, the PD-1 antibody is a humanized antibody. In yet another embodiment, the PD-1 antibody is a chimeric humanized antibody. The PD-1 antibody can be a human antibody or humanized antibody. The PD-1 antibody can be nivolumab, pembrolizumab, pidilizumab, REGN2810, PDR 001, or MEDI0680. In some embodiments, two or more PD-1 antibodies are administered in combination with a compound of formula I as described herein.
The PD-1 antibody can be nivolumab. Nivolumab (marketed as OPDIVO) is a fully human monoclonal antibody directed against PD-1 with immunopotentiation activity. Without being bound by any particular theory, nivolumab binds to and blocks the activation of PD-1 by its cognate ligands, resulting in the activation of T-cells and cell-mediated immune responses against tumor cells or pathogens.
The PD-1 antibody can be pembrolizumab. Pembrolizumab (MK-3475, marketed as KEYTRUDA) is a humanized monoclonal IgG4 antibody directed against human cell surface receptor PD-1 with potential immuno-potentiating activity. Without being bound by any particular theory, pembrolizumab binds to PD-1, an inhibitory signaling receptor expressed on the surface of activated T cells, and blocks the binding to and activation of PD-1 by its cognate ligands. The blocking of binding and activity results in the activation of T-cell-mediated immune responses against tumor cells.
The PD-1 antibody can be pidilizumab. Pidilizumab (CT-011) is a humanized monoclonal antibody directed against human PD-1 with immunomodulating and antitumor activities. Without being bound by any particular theory, pidilizumab blocks interaction between the receptor PD-1 with its ligands, resulting in the attenuation of apoptotic processes in lymphocytes, primarily effector/memory T cells, and the augmentation of the anti-tumor activities of NK cells.
The PD-1 antibody can be REGN2810. REGN2810 is a human monoclonal antibody directed against PD-1, with potential immune checkpoint inhibitory and anti-neoplastic activity. Without being bound by any particular theory REGN2810 binds to PD-1, inhibits binding to its cognate ligand, and prevents the activation of its downstream signaling pathways. This can restore immune function through the activation of cytotoxic T-cells.
The PD-1 antibody can be PDR 001. PDR 001 is a fully humanized monoclonal antibody directed against PD-1, with immune checkpoint inhibitory and anti-neoplastic activities. Without being bound by any particular theory, PDR 001 binds to PD-1 expressed on activated T-cells and blocks the interaction with its cognate ligands. The inhibition of ligand binding prevents PD-1-mediated signaling and results in both T-cell activation and the induction of T-cell-mediated immune responses against tumor cells.
The PD-1 antibody can be MEDI0680. MEDI0680 (AMP-514) is a monoclonal antibody directed against the PD-1, with potential immunomodulating and anti-neoplastic activity. Without being bound by any particular theory, MEDI0680 appears to inhibit the activation of PD-1 and its downstream signaling pathways. This inhibition can restore immune function through the activation both of T-cells and cell-mediated immune responses against PD-1 overexpressing tumor cells.
A PD-1 antibody can be of any antibody isotype. The term isotype refers to the antibody class that is encoded by heavy chain constant region genes. The heavy chains of a given antibody or functional fragment determine the class of that antibody or functional fragment: IgM, IgG, IgA, IgD or IgE. Each class can have either κ or λ light chains. The term subclass refers to the minor differences in amino acid sequences of the heavy chains that differentiate the subclasses. In humans there are two subclasses of IgA (subclasses IgA1 and IgA2) and there are four subclasses of IgG (subclasses IgG1, IgG2, IgG3 and IgG4). Such classes and subclasses are well known to those skilled in art.
Useful PD-1 antibodies bind to PD-1 with sufficient strength to inhibit activity of PD-1. Bind as used herein refer to an interaction between molecules to form a complex. Interactions can be, for example, non-covalent interactions including hydrogen bonds, ionic bonds, hydrophobic interactions, and/or van der Waals interactions. A complex can also include the binding of two or more molecules held together by covalent or non-covalent bonds, interactions or forces. Binding of an antibody or functional fragment thereof can be detected using, for example, an enzyme-linked immunosorbant assay or any one of a number of methods that are well known to those skilled in the art.
The strength of the total non-covalent interactions between a single antigen-binding site on a PD-1 antibody or functional fragment and a single epitope of a target molecule, such as PD-1, is the affinity of the antibody or functional fragment for that epitope. The ratio of association (k1) to dissociation (k−1) of an antibody or functional fragment thereof to a monovalent antigen (k1/k−1) is the association constant K, which is a measure of affinity. The value of K varies for different complexes of antibody or functional fragment and antigen and depends on both k1 and k−1. The association constant K for an antibody or functional fragment of the invention can be determined using any method provided herein or any other method well known to those skilled in the art.
The affinity at one binding site does not always reflect the true strength of the interaction between an antibody or functional fragment and an antigen. When complex antigens containing multiple, repeating antigenic determinants come in contact with antibodies containing multiple binding sites, the interaction of such an antibody or functional fragment with antigen at one site will increase the probability of a reaction at a second site. The strength of such multiple interactions between a multivalent antibody and antigen is called the avidity. The avidity of an antibody or functional fragment can be a better measure of its binding capacity than is the affinity of its individual binding sites. For example, high avidity can compensate for low affinity as is sometimes found for pentameric IgM antibodies, which can have a lower affinity than IgG, but the high avidity of IgM, resulting from its multivalence, enables it to bind antigen effectively.
The specificity of a PD-1 antibody or functional fragment thereof refers to the ability of an individual antibody or functional fragment thereof to react with only one antigen (e.g., a single epitope of PD-1). An antibody or functional fragment can be considered specific when it can distinguish differences in the primary, secondary or tertiary structure of an antigen or isomeric forms of an antigen.
The PD-1 antibody can be present in an amount as a measure with regards to the weight of the patient in need thereof. For example, the PD-1 antibody can be present in an amount of about: 0.1 mg/kg to about 30 mg/kg, 0.1 mg/kg to about 25 mg/kg, 0.1 mg/kg to about 20 mg/kg, 0.1 mg/kg to about 15 mg/kg, 0.1 mg/kg to about 10 mg/kg, 0.1 mg/kg to about 7.5 mg/kg, 0.1 mg/kg to about 5 mg/kg, 0.1 mg/kg to about 2.5 mg/kg, or about 0.1 mg/kg to about 1 mg/kg. The PD-1 antibody can be present in an amount of about: 0.5 mg/kg to about 30 mg/kg, 0.5 mg/kg to about 25 mg/kg, 0.5 mg/kg to about 20 mg/kg, 0.5 mg/kg to about 15 mg/kg, 0.5 mg/kg to about 10 mg/kg, 0.5 mg/kg to about 7.5 mg/kg, 0.5 mg/kg to about 5 mg/kg, 0.5 mg/kg to about 2.5 mg/kg, or about 0.5 mg/kg to about 1 mg/kg. The PD-1 antibody can be present in an amount of about 0.5 mg/kg to about 5 mg/kg or about 0.1 mg/kg to about 10 mg/kg.

AML with a translocation between chromosomes 6 and 9;
AML with a translocation or inversion in chromosome 3; or
AML (megakaryoblastic) with a translocation between chromosomes 1 and 22.
The AML can be characterized as having myelodysplasia-related changes. The AML can be characterized as being related to previous anti-cancer therapy (e.g., chemotherapy or radiotherapy). The AML can be characterized as AML that is considered to not fall in the WHO groups above and includes, for example:

AML with maturation (M2);
Acute myelomonocytic leukemia (M4);
Acute monocytic leukemia (M5);
Acute erythroid leukemia (M6);
Acute megakaryoblastic leukemia (M7);
Acute basophilic leukemia; or
Acute panmyelosis with fibrosis.
The combinations described herein can be administered to a cancer patient at any time following diagnosis. For example, the cancer patient can be treatment naive (i.e., has not received a cancer therapy for the diagnosed cancer). The cancer patient can be treatment naïve for one cancer but can be diagnosed with one or more other cancers resulting from, for example, metastasis or malignancy. The cancer patient can be immune checkpoint naive for one or more cancers. The cancer patient can have a cancer that is refractory. In certain instances, the combinations described herein are administered as a first line therapy (e.g., the first therapy administered to a treatment naive cancer patient) to a patient in need thereof.
However, cancer morbidity and mortality is often associated with ineffective therapy or a cancer gaining resistant to or becoming refractory to one or more cancer therapies. The combinations described herein can, therefore, be administered to patients in need thereof as a second, third, fourth, fifth, sixth, or more line of treatment. The combinations described herein can be administered to a cancer patient who has been treated with at least one anti-cancer therapy or anti-cancer agent. In certain instances the patient has received at least one anti-cancer therapy including, for example, chemotherapy, radiotherapy, surgery, targeted therapy, immunotherapy, or a combination thereof. The patient can have a cancer that is resistant/refractory to treatment with at least one anti-cancer agent.
The methods of treating cancers herein include treating subjects who have been treated with a PD-L1 checkpoint inhibitor and have experienced no response to treatment, or a partial response, or stable disease, but then develop resistance to treatment with progression of disease or who have experienced a complete response to treatment, but then develop resistance to treatment with progression of disease (as defined by RECIST or other criteria). Resistance is defined as disease progression during treatment or a lack of response to treatment. Such PD-L1 inhibitor antibody treatment failures can be treated with PD-1 in combination with an HDAC inhibitor, such as, without limitation, HBI-8000 or an HDAC inhibitor that inhibits cancer-associated Class I HDAC selected from one or more of HDAC1, HDAC2, or HDAC3. In some instances the HDAC inhibitor also inhibits Class IIb HDAC10. HBI-8000 is reported to inhibit HDAC 1, 2, 3, and 10 at low nanomolar concentrations (see Zhi-Qiang Ning et al., Cancer Chemother Pharmacol (2012) 69:901-909). It also has activity at HDAC 8 and 11. Ning et al. also report that HBI-8000 is more active than Entinostat at HDAC 1, 2, 3, 8, 10 and 11. Further HBI-8000 has a favorable pharmacokinetic profile and safety profile that allows for continuous dosing-oral administration pK (t1/2 about 17 hours).
Response Criteria
RECIST:
RECIST is a set of established criteria or standards, internationally recognized for evaluating patient response, stability and progression in clinical trials and in the clinical practice. Originally published in 2000, and revised in 2009 (Eisenhauer E A, et al.; New response criteria in solid tumors: revised RECIST guideline (version 1.1); Eur J Cancer 2009; 45:228-47), as a joint effort of the European Organization for Research and Treatment of Cancer, the National Cancer Institute of the United States and the National Cancer Institute of Canada Clinical Trials Group, RECIST has traditionally been utilized in the evaluation of response to chemotherapy.
Evaluation of Target Lesions:
Complete Response (CR): Disappearance of all target lesions; Partial Response (PR): At least a 30% decrease in the sum of the LD (longest diameter) of target lesions, taking as reference the baseline sum LD; Stable Disease (SD): Neither sufficient shrinkage to qualify for PR nor sufficient increase to qualify for PD, taking as reference the smallest sum LD since the treatment started; Progressive Disease (PD): At least a 20% increase in the sum of the LD of target lesions, taking as reference the smallest sum LD recorded since the treatment started or the appearance of one or more new lesions.
Evaluation of Non-Target Lesions
Complete Response (CR): Disappearance of all non-target lesions and normalization of tumor marker level; Incomplete Response/Stable Disease (SD): Persistence of one or more non-target lesion(s) or/and maintenance of tumor marker level above the normal limits; Progressive Disease (PD): Appearance of one or more new lesions and/or unequivocal progression of existing non-target lesions.
Other Response Criteria

In certain embodiments, the combinations described herein are coadministered with an anti-cancer agent described above, where the anti-cancer agent has known activity against a particular cancer (e.g., gemcitibine coadministered with a combination described herein for treating pancreatic cancer). The anti-cancer agents above can be approved for use in treating certain indications (e.g., certain cancers) at concentrations, amounts, and using treatment regimens known in the art.
It is understood that modifications which do not substantially affect the activity of the various embodiments of this invention are also included within the definition of the invention provided herein. Accordingly, the following examples are intended to illustrate but not limit the present invention.
In the present example, HBI-8000 was tested as monotherapy and in combination with anti-PD-1 at 5 mg/kg. The experiment included a vehicle-treated group, and a PD-1 inhibitor antibody monotherapy group, which served as the control groups for analysis of efficacy. Tumors were measured twice per week until the study was ended on Day 47. Each animal was euthanized when its tumor attained the endpoint tumor volume of 1000 mm3 or on the final day of the study, whichever came first, and the time to endpoint (TTE) for each mouse was calculated. Treatment response was determined from an analysis of percent tumor growth delay (% TGD), defined as the percent increase in the median time to endpoint (TTE) for treated versus control mice; and by log rank significance of differences in survival among groups and regression responses.
Mice: Female C57BL/6 mice (Charles River Laboratories) were eight weeks old, with a body weight (BW) range of 15.4 to 22.0 grams on Day 1 of the study. The animals were fed ad libitum water (reverse osmosis, 1 ppm Cl), and NIH 31 Modified and Irradiated Lab Diet® consisting of 18.0% crude protein, 5.0% crude fat, and 5.0% crude fiber. The mice were housed on irradiated Enrich-o'Cobs™ Laboratory Animal Bedding in static microisolators on a 12-hour light cycle at 20-22° C. (68-72° F.) and 40-60% humidity.
Tumor Cells: MC38 murine colon carcinoma cells were maintained in Dulbecco's Modified Eagle Medium (DMEM) supplemented with 10% fetal bovine serum and 2 mM glutamine, 100 units/mL penicillin G sodium, 100 μm/mL streptomycin sulfate, and 25 μg/mL gentamicin. Cell cultures were maintained in tissue culture flasks in a humidified incubator at 37° C., in an atmosphere of 5% CO2 and 95% air.
Tumor Implantation: Cells were harvested during exponential growth, and resuspended in cold DMEM. Each mouse was inoculated subcutaneously in the right flank with 1×106 cells (0.1 mL of cell suspension). Tumors were calipered in two dimensions to monitor growth as their mean volume approached the desired 100-150 mm3 range. Tumor burden was calculated using the formula:
where w=width and l=length, in mm, of the tumor. Tumor weight may be estimated with the assumption that 1 mg is equivalent to 1 mm3 of tumor volume. Fourteen days after tumor implantation, which was designated as Day 1 of the study, animals with individual tumor volumes from 75 to 221 mm3 were sorted into eleven groups (n=10/group) with group mean tumor volume of 130-133 mm3.
Test Articles: HUYA Bioscience International provided HBI-8000 (Lot No. 1384:0033). The antibody anti-PD-1 RMP1-14 (Lot No. 5611-10/0615) was purchased from BioXcell.
Dosing Solutions: Antibody dosing solutions were prepared fresh daily and stored at 4° C. HBI-8000 was dissolved in 0.2% CMC (carboxy methyl cellulose) in 0.1% Tween 80. Anti-PD-1 antibody dosing solution was prepared by diluting an aliquot of the stock (6.48 mg/mL) to 0.5 mg/mL in sterile PBS resulting in a 5 mg/kg dosage in a 10 mL/kg dosing volume.
Six groups of C57BL/6 mice were dosed according to the protocol shown in Table 2. All doses were prepared as described above. HBI-8000 was administered orally (p.o.), once daily for twenty-one days (qd×21). Dosing was adjusted per animal body weight. Antibody regimen was administered at 5 mg/kg, intraperitoneally (i.p.), twice weekly for three weeks (biwk×3), and dosing was adjusted per animal body weight.
Tumor Growth Delay: Tumors were measured using calipers twice per week, and each animal was euthanized when its tumor reached a volume of 1000 mm3 or at the end of the study (D47), whichever came first. Animals that exited the study for tumor volume endpoint were documented as euthanized for tumor progression (TP), with the date of euthanasia. The time to endpoint (TTE) for analysis was calculated for each mouse by the following equation:
where TTE is expressed in days, endpoint volume is expressed in mm3, b is the intercept, and m is the slope of the line obtained by linear regression of a log-transformed tumor growth data set. The data set consisted of the first observation that exceeded the endpoint volume used in analysis and the three consecutive observations that immediately preceded the attainment of this endpoint volume. The calculated TTE is usually less than the TP date, the day on which the animal was euthanized for tumor burden. Animals with tumors that did not reach the endpoint volume were assigned a TTE value equal to the last day of the study. In instances in which the log-transformed calculated TTE preceded the day prior to reaching endpoint or exceeded the day of reaching tumor volume endpoint, a linear interpolation was performed to approximate the TTE. Any animal classified as having died from NTR (non-treatment-related) causes due to accident (NTRa) or due to unknown etiology (NTRu) were excluded from TTE calculations (and all further analyses). Animals classified as TR (treatment-related) deaths or NTRm (non-treatment-related death due to metastasis) were assigned a TTE value equal to the day of death.
Treatment Outcome: Treatment outcome was evaluated from tumor growth delay (TGD), which is defined as the increase in the median time to endpoint (TTE) in a treatment group compared to the control group:
TGD=T−C
expressed in days, or as a percentage of the median TTE of the control group:
where T=median TTE for a treatment group, and C=median TTE for the designated control group.
Treatment Efficacy: Treatment efficacy may be determined from the tumor volumes of animals remaining in the study on the last day. The MTV (n) was defined as the median tumor volume on the last day of the study in the number of animals remaining (n) whose tumors had not attained the endpoint volume. Treatment efficacy may also be determined from the incidence and magnitude of regression responses observed during the study. Treatment may cause partial regression (PR) or complete regression (CR) of the tumor in an animal. In a PR response, the tumor volume was 50% or less of its Day 1 volume for three consecutive measurements during the course of the study, and equal to or greater than 13.5 mm3 for one or more of these three measurements. In a CR response, the tumor volume was less than 13.5 mm3 for three consecutive measurements during the course of the study. An animal with a CR response at the termination of a study is additionally classified as a tumor-free survivor (TFS). Animals were monitored for regression responses.
Statistics: Prism (GraphPad) for Windows 6.07 was used for graphical presentations and statistical analyses. The log rank test, which evaluates overall survival experience, was used to analyze the significance of the differences between the TTE values of two groups. Log rank analysis includes the data for all animals in a group except those assessed as NTR deaths. Two-tailed statistical analyses were conducted at significance level P=0.05. Group median tumor volumes were plotted as a function of time. When an animal exited the study due to tumor burden, the final tumor volume recorded for the animal was included with the data used to calculate the median volume at subsequent time points. Kaplan-Meier plots show the percentage of animals in each group remaining in the study versus time.
Animals in Example 1 were treated in accordance with the protocol described in Table 1.
In the present example, HBI-8000 was tested as monotherapy and in combination with PD-1 inhibitor antibody at 5 mg/kg. The experiment included a vehicle-treated group and an PD-1 inhibitor antibody monotherapy group, which served as the control groups for analysis of efficacy. Tumors were measured twice per week until the study was ended on Day 50. Each animal was euthanized when its tumor attained the endpoint tumor volume of 1000 mm3 or on the final day of the study, whichever came first, and the time to endpoint (TTE) for each mouse was calculated. Treatment response was determined from an analysis of percent tumor growth delay (% TGD), defined as the percent increase in the median time to endpoint (TTE) for treated versus control mice; and by log rank significance of differences in survival among groups and regression responses.

Treatment: Four groups of C57BL/6 mice (n=10) were dosed according to the protocol in Table 4. Dosing began on day 1 unless otherwise noted. HBI-8000 was administered p.o. at 50 mg/kg. PD-1 inhibitor antibody was administered i.p. at 5 mg/kg. Vehicle (0.2% carboxymethyl cellulose: 0.1% Tween 80 in deionized water) was administered p.o. All agents were delivered in a dosing volume of 10 mL/kg adjusted per body weight of the individual animals.

Statistics: Details of the statistics and software used in this study can be found in Example 1.
Animals in Example 2 were treated in accordance with the protocol described in Table 4.
In this model, a proportion of the animals treated 1st line with the PD-L1 checkpoint inhibitor antibody experience complete tumor regression. However, a similar proportion of animals treated 1st line with the PD-L1 inhibitor antibody experience rapid tumor progression. The balance of the animals treated in this way experience slow tumor progression or stable disease, which is a result which approximates the situation in a number of human cancer patients receiving PD-L1 inhibitor antibody therapy, i.e., they experience a transient partial response, including stable disease, but then develop resistance and rapidly progress, failing PD-1 inhibitor antibody therapy. In this example, the efficacy of HBI-8000 as a second-line therapy, alone and in combination with PD-1 inhibitor antibody RMPI-14, was evaluated for the ability to cause tumor growth delay (TGD) in animals which tumors which are progressing following PD-L1 inhibitor antibody first line therapy in the MC38 murine colon carcinoma syngeneic model in immunocompetent C57BL/6 mice. Hence, addressing a need in the clinic for human patients failing PD-L1 inhibitor antibody therapy.
Female C57BL/6 mice bearing subcutaneous MC38 tumors (mean tumor volume: 114 mm3 when treatment began) were treated with a first line of therapy of PD-L1 inhibitor antibody treatment, administered intraperitoneally (i.p.) at 5 mg/kg, twice weekly for two weeks (biwk×2). When tumors met the failure criteria and showed two consecutive increases in tumor volume and tumor volume was <500 mm3, these were subsequently reenrolled in a second line of therapy efficacy study, which consisted of six groups (n=10 per group) of mice. Dosing began on D1, which represents the day of recruitment and varied among mice (this was normalized for each group). The second-line therapies were as follows. Vehicle was administered orally (p.o.). HBI-8000 was administered p.o. at 50 mg/kg. PD-1 inhibitor antibody and anti-PDL-1 were administered intraperitoneally (i.p) at 5 mg/kg. Group 1 mice served as controls and received 0.2% carboxymethyl cellulose: 0.1% Tween 80 in deionized water (vehicle) once daily for twenty-one days (qd×21). Group 2 received HBI-8000 qd×21. Group 3 received a second course of PD-L1 inhibitor antibody biwk×2. Group 4 received HBI-8000 qd×21 and PD-L1 inhibitor antibody biwk×2. Group 5 received anti-PD-1 biwk×2. Group 6 received HBI-8000 qd×21 and anti-PD-1 biwk×2. The study endpoint was tumor volume of 1500 mm3 or 45 days, whichever came first. Tumor measurements were taken twice weekly until D44 with individual animals exiting the study upon reaching the tumor volume endpoint.
Mice: At the onset of the initial PD-1 inhibitor antibody treatment, female C57BL/6 mice (Charles River) were eight weeks old and had a BW range of 18.1-24.1 g. The animals were fed ad libitum water (reverse osmosis, 1 ppm Cl) and NIH 31 Modified and Irradiated Lab Diet® consisting of 18.0% crude protein, 5.0% crude fat, and 5.0% crude fiber. The mice were housed on irradiated Enrich-o'Cobs™ bedding in static microisolators on a 12-hour light cycle at 20-22° C. (68-72° F.) and 40-60% humidity.
Tumor Implantation and Measurement: Details of tumor implantation and measurement of tumor growth used in this example can be found in Example 1. In this example, each mouse was inoculated subcutaneously in the right flank with 5×105 cells (0.1 mL of cell suspension).
Test Articles: HUYA Bioscience International provided HBI-8000 (Lot No. 1384:0033). PD-1 inhibitor antibody RMPI-14 (Lot No. 5611-10/0615) and PDL-1 antibody 10F.9G2 (anti-PDL-1, Lot No. 5786-7-8/0815) were purchased from Bio X cell (West Lebanon, N.H.). All agents were prepared according to protocol instructions.
Dosing Solutions: HBI-8000 was prepared by diluting in 0.2% CMC: 0.1% Tween 80 to yield a 5 mg/mL dosing solution. Dosing solutions were prepared fresh weekly and stored at 4° C. PD-1 inhibitor antibody dosing solution was prepared by diluting an aliquot of the stock (8.62 mg/mL) to 0.5 mg/mL in sterile PBS. The dosing solution was prepared twice weekly and stored at 4° C. Anti-PDL-1 antibody dosing solution was prepared by diluting an aliquot of the stock (5.37 mg/mL) to 0.5 mg/mL in sterile PBS. The anti-PDL-1 antibody dosing solution was prepared twice weekly and stored at 4° C.
Treatment: For the initial PD-L1 inhibitor antibody failure part of this study, 150 C57BL/6 mice were dosed i.p. with first line PD-L1 inhibitor antibody at 5 mg/kg, biwk×2. Animals that met the criteria for reenrollment comprised the efficacy study; this included animals with two consecutive increases in tumor volume and tumor volumes below 500 mm3. The first sixty animals which became available were placed sequentially into six efficacy groups until all groups were filled; this occurred either sixteen or twenty-two days following initiation of first line dosing. For the efficacy study, six groups of C57BL/6 mice (n=10) were dosed according to protocol in Table 6. Second-line therapy began on day 1, which was the day of enrollment of each individual animal.
Tumor Growth Delay: Details of the tumor growth delay measurements and calculations that were used for the study are found in Example 1.
Treatment Outcome: Details of treatment outcome measurements and calculations that were used in the study are found in Example 1.
Treatment Efficacy: Details of treatment efficacy measurements and calculations that were used for the study are found in Example 1.
Statistics: Details of the statistics and software that were used in this study can be found in Example 1. Responses of each group, categorized as no response (NR), partial response (PR) and complete response (CR), to the therapy received were tabulated. Mean tumor volume measurements for all groups were obtained and data for a Kaplan-Meier plot, showing the percentage of animals in each group remaining in the study versus time was obtained.
Animals in Example 3 were treated in accordance with the protocol described in Table 6.
In this Example 4, antitumor responses induced by HBI-8000, administered alone and in combination with anti-PD-1 RMP1-14 (anti-PD-1) were characterized in the 4T1 murine mammary carcinoma xenograft model in BALB/c mice. The impact of these therapies on lung metastasis was evaluated.
Treatments began on Day (D) 1 in BALB/c mice bearing established 4T1 tumors. HBI-8000 was administered orally (p.o.) and anti-PD-1 was administered intraperitoneally (i.p.), at a single dose level. Test agents were administered alone and in combination with HBI-8000. Control animals received vehicle. The study ended on D14 as the endpoint for metastatic foci was reached. Treatment response was determined based on metastases counts taken from animals remaining on D14.
Mice: Female BALB/c mice (BALB/c AnNcrl, Charles River) were seven weeks old on D1 of the study and had a body weight (BW) range of 14.7 to 20.7 g. The animals were fed ad libitum water (reverse osmosis, 1 ppm Cl) and NIH 31 Modified and Irradiated Lab Diet® consisting of 18.0% crude protein, 5.0% crude fat, and 5.0% crude fiber. The mice were housed on irradiated Enrich-o'Cobs™ bedding in static microisolators on a 12-hour light cycle at 20-22° C. (68-72° F.) and 40-60% humidity.
Tumor Cell Culture: The 4T1 mammary carcinoma cell line was grown to mid-log phase in RPMI medium containing 10% fetal bovine serum, 2 mM glutamine, 100 units/mL sodium penicillin G, 25 μg/mL gentamicin, and 100 μm/mL streptomycin sulfate. The cells were cultured in tissue culture flasks in a humidified incubator at 37° C., in an atmosphere of 5% CO2 and 95% air.
In Vivo Implantation and Tumor Growth: 4T1 tumor cells were harvested during exponential growth and resuspended in PBS. Each test mouse was injected orthotopically in the mammary fat pad with 1×106 cells (0.1 mL cell suspension). Tumor growth was monitored as the average size of tumors approached the target range of 80-120 mm3.
Test Agents: HUYA Bioscience International, LLC provided HBI-8000 (Lot No. 1384:0033). Anti-PD-1 RMP-14 (anti-PD-1, Lot No. 5792-599016J1) was purchased from Bio X cell (West Lebanon, N.H.). All agents were prepared according to protocol instructions. The vehicle used in this study was 0.2% carboxymethyl cellulose: 0.1% Tween 80 in DI water. HBI-8000 was prepared by diluting in 0.2% CMC: 0.1% TW80 to yield a 5 mg/mL dosing solution. Dosing solutions were prepared fresh weekly and stored at 4° C. Anti-PD-1 antibody dosing solution was prepared by diluting an aliquot of the stock (6.37 mg/mL) to 0.5 mg/mL in sterile PBS. The dosing solution was prepared on each day of dosing and stored at 4° C.
Treatment: On D1 of the study, mice bearing established 4T1 tumors began dosing according to the treatment plan summarized below. All agents were administered in dosing volumes of 10 mL/kg; volumes were adjusted according to BW of the individual.
Group 1 served as efficacy controls and received vehicle, p.o., daily for thirteen days (qd×13).
Group 2 received HBI-8000 at 50 mg/kg, p.o., qd×13.
Group 3 received anti-PD-1 at 5 mg/kg, i.p., twice weekly for two weeks (biwk×2).
Group 4 received HBI-8000 at 50 mg/kg, p.o., qd×13, and anti-PD-1 at 5 mg/kg, i.p., biwk×2.
Endpoint: Metastases Count
Results were analyzed by counting the lung metastatic foci on D14, the last day of the study. Animals were sacrificed at endpoint using isoflurane anesthesia and necropsies were performed to identify metastases. Total counts were obtained by adding the number of foci counted in the superior, middle, inferior, and post-caval lobes of the right lung to the number of foci counted in the left lung. Percent inhibition was defined as the difference between the number of metastatic foci of the designated control group and the number of metastatic foci of the drug-treated group, expressed as a percentage of the number of metastatic foci of the designated control group:
Results: The day 14 lung metastatic foci count for Group 1 control animals was 35.0±2.17 (
In the present example, HBI-8000 was tested as monotherapy and in combination with either anti-PD-1 antibody at 10 mg/kg or PD-L1 antibody at 10 mg/kg. The model used was the RENCA syngeneic model of renal cell carcinoma (RCC). The experiment included a vehicle-treated group, and both PD-1 inhibitor antibody and PD-1 inhibitor antibody monotherapy groups, which served as the control groups for analysis of efficacy. Tumors were measured twice per week until the study was ended on Day 25. Treatment response was determined from an analysis of percent tumor growth delay (% TGD).
