`
`Organic Compounds
`
`The present i~vention relates to a new use, in particular a new use for a compound group
`comprising derivatives of rapamycin.
`
`Suitable derivatives of rapamycin include e.g. compounds of formula I
`
`24
`
`wherein
`Rl is CH3 or C3•salkynyl,
`R2 is H or -CH2-CH2-OH,
`X is =0 or (H,OH)
`provided that R2 is -CH2-CH2-OH when Rl is CH3 and X is =0.
`
`Most of the compounds of formula I are either generically or specifically disclosed in WO.
`94/09010, WO 95/16691 orWO 96/41807, which are incorPorated herein by reference, the
`compound of formula 1 wherein X is =0, Rl is 2-pentynyl and R2 is -CH2-CH2-OH being novel
`and forming part of the invention.
`
`A preferred compound is 40-0-(2-hydroxyethyl)-rapamycin (referred thereafter as
`.
`Compound A). disclosed as Example 8 in WO 94/09010.
`
`Certain compounds of formula I have, on the basis of observed activity, e.g. bi~~.ing to
`macrophilin-12 (also known asFK-506 binding protein or FKBP-12). e.g. as described in
`
`West-Ward Exhibit 1012

`WO 94/09010, WO 95/16691 orWO 96/41807, been found to be useful e.g. as
`
`immunosuppr~ssantJ e.g. in the treatment of acute allograft rejection. It has now been found
`th~t Compounds of formula I have potent antiproliferative properties which make them
`useful for cancer chemotherapy. particularly of solid tumors, especially of advanced solid
`tumors. There is still the need to expand the armamentarium of cancer treatment of solid
`
`tumors, especially in cases where treatment with anticancer compounds is not associated
`with disease regression or stabilization.
`
`In accordance with the particular findings of the present invention, there is provided:
`1.1 A method for treating solid tumors in a subject in need thereof, comp~sing
`administering to said subject a therapeutically effective amount of a compound of
`formula I.
`1.2 A method for inhibiting growth of solid tumors in a subject in need thereof, comprising
`administering to said subject a therapeutically effective amount of a compound of
`formula I.
`1.3 A method for treating solid tumor invasiveness or symptoms associated with such
`tumor growth in a subject in need thereof, comprising administering to said subject a
`
`therapeutically effective amount of a compound of formula I.
`
`1.4 A method for preventing m~tastatic spread of tumours or for preventing or inhibiting
`growth of micrometastasis in a subject in need thereof, comprising ad~inistering to
`said subject a therapeutically effective amount of a compound of formula I.
`1.5 A method for the treatment of a disease associated with deregulated angio~enesis in
`a subject in need thereof, comprising administering to said subject a therapeutically
`effective amount of a compound of formula I.
`1.6 A method for inhibiting or controlling deregulated angiogenesis in a subject in need
`thereof, comprising administering to said subject a therapeutically effective amount of
`
`a compound of formula I.
`
`By "solid tumors" are meant tumors and/or"metastasis (whereever located) other than
`lymphatic cancer, e.g. pancreatic tumors; melanomas; lung cancer, e.g. small cell lung
`cancer; breast cancer; epidermoid carcinomas; renal-cell carcinomas; neuroendocrine
`tumors; genitourinary cancer, e.g. cervical, uterine, ovarian, prostate or bladder cancer;
`gastrOintestinal cancer, e.g. gastric or colon cancer; glioblastomas; head and/or neck
`cancer; soft-tissue sarcomas.

`Where hereinbefore and subsequently a tumor, a tumor disease, a carcinoma or a cancer is
`mentioned, also metastasis in the original organ or tissue and/or in any other location are
`implied alternatively or in addition, whatever the location of the tumor and/or metastasis is.
`
`Examples of diseases associated with deregulated angiogenesis include e.g. neoplastic
`diseases, e.g. solid tumors.
`
`Angiogenesis is regarded as a prerequisite for those tumors which grow beyond a certain
`diameter, e.g. about 1-2 mm.

`
`As alternative to the above the present invention also provides:
`2.
`A compound of formula I wherein X is =0, R1 is 2-pentynyl and R2 is -CH2-CH2-OH for
`use as a pharmaceutical;
`A compound of formula I for use in any method as defined under 1.1 to 1.6 above;
`A compound of formula I for use in the preparation of a pharmaceutical composition
`for use in any method as defined under 1.1. to 1.6. above;
`A pharmaceutical composition comprising a. compound of formula I wherein X is =0,
`R1 is'2-pentynyl and R2 is -CH2-CH2-OH together with one or more pharmaceutically
`acceptable diluents or carriers therefor;
`A pharmaceutical composition for use in any method as defined under 1.1 to 1.6
`above comprising a compound of formula I together with one or more pharmaceutically
`acceptable diluents or carriers therefor.
`

`animals divided by the mean increase of tumor volumes of control animals multiplied by
`100). In this assay, when administered at a daily dose ranging from 0.5 mglkg to 2.5 mglkg,
`the compounds of formula I inhibit tumor growth; for example in one representative
`experiment Compound A when administered at a dose of 2,5 mg/kglday results in a final
`TIC cvalue of 25%(T/C for animal controls is 100%).
`
`A.2 Activity in HCT116 human colon carcinoma xenografts
`1x1 06 HCT116 cells (Cell line CCL247. ATCC. Rockville MD, USA) are injected
`subcutaneously into the left flank of BALB/c nude mice. Treatment is started on day 7 or on
`day 9 following tumor transplantation. The compound to be tested is administered p.o once
`per day from day 7/9 to day 25/37, respectively. Antitumor activity is expressed as T/C% as
`indicated above. In this assay, when administered at a daily dose ranging from 2.5 mg/kg to
`10 mglkg. the compounds of formula I inhibit tumor growth; for example in one
`, representative experiment Compound A when administered p.o. at a dose of 2,5 or 5
`
`mglkg/day results in final TIC values of 50% and 37%, respectively (TIC for animal controls
`is defined as 100%).
`
`A.3 Activity in CA20948 rat pancreatic tumors
`Tumors are established in male Lewis rats by subcutaneous injection of CA20948
`tumor cell suspension derived from donor rats into the left flank of male Lewis rats.
`Treatment is started on day 4 post inoculation. The compound to be tested is administered
`p.o: once per day (6 days a week) from day 4 to day 12114 post inoculation. Antitumor
`activity is expressed as T/C% as indicated above. In this assay, when administered at a
`daily dose of 0.5 mg/kg to 2.5 mg/kg, the compounds of formula I inhibit tumor growth; for
`example in one representative experiment Compound A when administered p.o. at a daily
`dose of 2.5 mg/kg results in a final TIC value of 23 % (TIC for animal controls is defined as
`100%).

`
`Clinical Trial
`
`Objectives
`Primary:
`
`To charactE?rize the safety profile, including both acute and cumulative toxicities,
`and determine the maximum tolerated dose of a compound of formula I, e.g.
`Compound A, administered by intravenous infusion to adult patients with
`advanced solid tumors who have failed standard systemic therapy or for whom
`
`West-Ward Exhibit 1012
`GB '072 Priority Application
`Page 007
`
`
`
`•
`
`-5-
`
`•
`
`standard systemic therapy does not exist
`Secondary: To obtain preliminary evidence of antitumor activity of a compound of formula I,
`e.g. Compound A. administered by intravenous infusion to this population of
`patients.
`To gather information on tumors from tumor biopsy samples where available
`and accessible pre- and post-therapy in order to identify biological factors that
`correlate with efficacy and response.
`
`Design
`
`This is an open-label. dose-escalation study to assess the safety and efficacy of
`a compound of formula I administered by intravenous infusion to adult patients
`with advanced solid tumors who have failed standard systemic therapy or for
`whom standard systemic therapy does not exist.
`The treatment period consists of up to 3 months. Patients experiencing
`unacceptable tOXicity or disease progression are discontinued prematurely.
`
`Patients achieving a complete or partial response, or patients with stable
`disease at the end of 3 months continue further treatment according to an
`extension protocol at the discretion of the investigator and after approval by the
`sponsor. Eligible patients receive additional treatment until disease progression
`
`or unacceptable toxicity are observed .
`. In the absence of dose-limiting toxicity (DL T), dose escalation proceeds as
`follows:
`
`1. First dose escalation: 100% dose increase (unless grade 2 toxicity is
`identified in first cohort, in which case dose escalation is 25% - 67%)
`. 2. Dose escalations following 100% dose increase from first to second
`cohort: 67% dose increases until grade 2 toxicity is identified
`3. Final dose escalations following identification of grade 2 toxicity: 25%-
`67% dose increases, based on consensus reached among the
`
`investigators and the sponsor
`Dose escalation is based on toxicities from the first cycle for each cohort of
`patients. The provisional maximum tolerated dose (MTD) is defined as the dose
`level il'flmediately below that at which DL T is observed in at least two out of 3-6
`patients. The cohort defined as the provisional MTD then enrolls additional
`patients to a total of 12 to confirm the MTD through further evaluation of the
`
`safety. pharmacokinetic, and pharmacodynamic profiles of the compound of
`
`formula J tested.

`Treatments: the compound of formula I, e.g. Compound A, may be administer~d orally or
`parenterally, e.g. sub-cutaneous, starting with a dose level of about 0.75 mg.
`bose escalation proceeds according to the scheme outlined above. The study
`defines treatment delays. dose reductions, or withdrawal from treatment for
`
`individuals experiencing hematologic or other toxicities known to result from the
`compound.
`
`Activity is demonstrated as a function of the rate of objective tumor
`Efficacy variables
`response and length of progression-free and overall survival. Baseline tumor
`evaluations include optimal assessment of all measurable, evaluable, and
`
`nonevaluable disease.
`
`Daily dosages required in practising the method of the present invention will, of course, vary
`depending on a variety of factors, for example the particular compound of formula I chosen,
`the particular condition to be treated and the desired effect. In general, however,
`satisfactory results are achieved on administration of a compound of formula I at daily
`dosage rates of the order of ca. 0.5 mg to 20 mg as a single dose or in di,:,ided doses. The
`compounds of formula I may be administered by any conventional route, in particular
`enterally, e.g. orally, e.g. in the form of tablets, capsules, drink solutions or parenterally. e.g.
`in the form of injectable solutions or suspensions. Suitable unit dosage forms for oral
`administration comprise from ca. 0.1 mg to 10 mg active ingredient, e.g. Compound A,
`together with one or more pharmaceutically acceptable diluents or carriers therefor.

`
`•
`
`When used in the method according to the invention, the compounds of formula I may be
`administered as the sole active ingredient or together with other chemotherapeutic drugs.
`By the term "other chemotherapeutic", there is meant especially any chemotherapeutic
`ot~er than a compound of formula I. For example, the ~ompounds of formula I may be used
`in combination with e.g. paclitaxel, gemcitabine, cisplatinum, doxorubicin, 5-fluorouracil, a
`hormonal agent or antagonist, e.g. an anti-androgen or mitoxantrone (especially in the case
`of prostate cancer), or an antiestrogen, like letrozole (especially in the case of breast
`cancer), an antimetabolite, a plant alkaloid, a biological response modifier, preferably a
`Iymphokine or interferons, an inhibitor of protein tyrosine kinase and/or serine/threonine
`kinase, or an agent with other or unknown mechanism of action, e.g.any epitholone or
`epitholone derivative. Where the compounds of formula I are administered in conjunction
`
`with other chemotherapeutic drugs, dosages of the co-administered compound will of
`-course vary depending on the type of co-drug employed, on the specific drug employed, on -
`the condition to be treated, and so forth. The terms "co-administration" or "combined
`administration" or the like as utilized herein are meant to encompass administration of the
`selected therapeutic agents to a single patient, and are intended to include treatment
`regimens in which the agents are not necessarily administered by the same route of
`administration or at the same time.
`
`In accordance with the foregoing the present invention provides in a yet further aspect:
`7.
`A pharmaceutical combination comprising a} a first agent which is a compound of
`formula I, e.g. Compound A and b} a co-agent which is a chemotherapeutic agent, e.g.
`
`as defined above.
`
`8.
`
`A method as defined above compriSing co-administration, e.g. concomitantly or in
`sequence, of a therapeutically effective amount of a compound of formula I, e.g.
`Compound A, and a second drug substance, said second drug substance being a
`chemotherapeutic agent, e.g. as indicated above.
`
`Preferred pharmaceutical combinations include e.g. a combination of e.g. Compound A with
`
`e.g. cisplatinum, paclitaxel, gemcrtabine or doxorubicin.
