20240285635
The present application claims priority and benefit to the Chinese Patent Application No. 202110688144.0 filed with National Intellectual Property Administration, PRC on Jun. 21, 2021, the disclosure of which is incorporated herein by reference in its entirety.
The present application relates to the field of medicinal chemistry, and relates to use of a pyrrolopyrimidine compound and a pharmaceutical composition thereof for treating chronic graft-versus-host disease, and particularly relates to use of a compound of formula I, a stereoisomer thereof, or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof, and a pharmaceutical composition thereof for treating chronic graft-versus-host disease.
Janus kinase (JAK) is a group of non-receptor tyrosine kinases (PTK). It exists in cells and transmits cytokine stimulation signals through the JAK-STAT pathway. The JAK-STAT pathway transmits extracellular chemical signals through the cell membrane to the gene promoter of DNA in the nucleus, which ultimately causes changes in DNA transcription and activity.
The JAK-STAT pathway consists of three major components: 1) a receptor; 2) the JAK; and 3) a signal transducer and activator of transcription (STAT) protein. The receptor can be activated by interferons, interleukins, growth factors or other chemical messengers, leading to the autophosphorylation of JAK; the STAT protein binds to the phosphorylated receptor, such that the STAT protein is phosphorylated by JAK; then the phosphorylated STAT protein is separated from the receptor, dimerized and translocated into the nucleus to bind to the specific sites on DNA and alter the transcription (Scott, M. J., C. J. Godshall, et al., (2002) “Jaks, STATs, Cytokines, and Sepsis”, Clin Diagn Lab Immunol 9(6):1153-9).
Allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (allo-HSCT) is now widely used for the treatment of hematologic system and non-hematologic system diseases, and is even the only method to cure certain diseases. Graft-versus-host disease (GvHD) is a major complication of allogeneic stem cell transplantation. Because T lymphocytes in the transplanted allogeneic donor graft are stimulated by a series of “cytokine storms” initiated by the recipient, the immune response to the antigen of the recipient is greatly enhanced, and cytotoxic attack is initiated by taking the target cells of the recipient as the target, wherein skin, liver, and intestinal tract are the main targets.
Chronic graft-versus-host disease (cGVHD) is the most common long-term complication following allogeneic stem cell transplantation (SCT), affecting 30-70% of patients who survive more than the first 100 days. cGVHD and its associated immunodeficiency have been considered to be the major cause of non-relapse mortality (NRM) in allogeneic SCT survivors.
Human and animal models have demonstrated that abnormal B-lymphocyte signaling and survival are important in the pathogenesis of cGVHD. B cell targeted drugs, including SYK inhibitors (fostamatinib-Sarantopoulos et al., Biology of Blood and Marrow Transplantation, 21(2015) S11-S18) and BTK inhibitors (ibrutinib-Nakasone et al., Int. J. Hematol. Mar. 27, 2015), are shown to be capable of selectively reducing the function and frequency of abnormal GVHD B cell populations in vitro.

The formula for solid pharmaceutical composition tablets containing 5 mg and 20 mg of the active ingredient is shown in Table 1.
The subjects of the study were glucocorticoid-refractory/dependent moderate and severe cGVHD subjects. The safety and the tolerability of the tablets of the compound of formula I in the glucocorticoid-refractory/dependent moderate and severe cGVHD subjects were evaluated, and the efficacy and the safety of the tablets of the compound of formula I in the glucocorticoid-refractory/dependent moderate and severe cGVHD subjects were further evaluated.
Method of administration: orally administered twice daily at fasting, with 28 consecutive days of administration as one treatment cycle.
Drug: the tablets of the compound of formula I with 5 mg or 20 mg of the active ingredient, the compound of formula I being its stereoisomer, a compound of formula II
NIH-Based cGVHD Response Criteria
During the study, the investigator would evaluate the cGVHD activity through NIH consensus on cGVHD to define the response effect and make a record accordingly.
Complete response (CR): all reversible clinical symptoms of cGVHD were completely alleviated. Irreversible clinical manifestations would be defined by NIH consensus criteria.
Partial response (PR): there was improvement in at least one organ or site, but no improvement in all other organs or sites.
Stable disease (SD): cGVHD clinical performance was not worsened compared to baseline.
Disease progression (PD): any one organ or site was worsened. In addition, the emergence of new clinical manifestations of cGVHD was also counted as progression.
cGVHD Symptom Score
The change of score of the Lee cGVHD symptom scale≥7 would be considered clinically significant and would be associated with an improvement in quality of life.
Failure-free survival was defined as the percentage of subjects without death and recurrence of the primary malignant tumor and with no new immunosuppressive therapy for GVHD.
The evaluation index may be selected from the group consisting of:
Objective response rate (ORR): refers to the percentage of subjects in complete response (CR) or partial response (PR) as determined by the investigator according to NIH cGVHD response assessment.
Best objective response rate (ORR): refers to the percentage of subjects whose best response was complete response (CR) or partial response (PR) as determined by the investigator according to NIH cGVHD response assessment.
Duration of response (DOR): defined as the date from the first recording of response to the first recording of disease progression, death or the start of any new systemic treatment for cGVHD.
Failure-free survival (FFS): the percentage of subjects without death and recurrence of the malignant tumor and with no new immunosuppressive therapy for GVHD.
Glucocorticoid use change: glucocorticoid use would be monitored during the study. A reduction in glucocorticoid demand would be considered as evidence of the effectiveness of the test drug.
Change in cGVHD symptom scale: the symptom scale of the subject was improved. Symptom changes would be measured according to the Lee cGVHD symptom scale. The change of score of the Lee cGVHD symptom scale≥7 would be considered a significant improvement and would be associated with an improvement in quality of life.
Overall survival (OS): refers to the time from the start of the first administration to death due to various causes.
Non-relapse mortality (NRM): defined as the date from the first administration to the date of relapse/progression death of the non-hematologic system disease.
Tablets of the compound of formula I show good tolerability and safety, with overall controlled adverse events.
Of the patients evaluated in Table 2, 1 patient was in complete response (CR) and 7 patients were in partial response (PR). The compound of formula I of the present application were found to have clinical benefits in the treatment of chronic graft-versus-host disease.
