62/115,489 filed on February 12, 2015; U.S. Provisional Application No. 62/181,164 filed on June 17, 2015; and International Application No. PCT/IB2015/056123 filed on August 11, 2015, all of which are herein incorporated by reference in their entireties.

FIELD OF THE INVENTION

[002] In some embodiments, therapeutic combinations of a programmed death 1 (PD- 1) inhibitor or PD-1 ligand (PD-Ll or PD-L2) inhibitor, a Bruton's tyrosine kinase (BTK) inhibitor, a Janus kinase 2 (JAK-2) inhibitor, and/or a phosphoinositide 3 -kinase (PI3K) inhibitor, and methods of using the therapeutic combinations are disclosed herein.

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

[003] Bruton's tyrosine kinase (BTK) is a Tec family non-receptor protein kinase expressed in B cells and myeloid cells. BTK is composed of the pleckstrin homology (PH), Tec homology (TH), Src homology 3 (SH3), Src homology 2 (SH2), and tyrosine kinase or Src homology 1 (TK or SHI) domains. The function of BTK in signaling pathways activated by the engagement of the B cell receptor (BCR) in mature B cells and FCER1 on mast cells is well established. Functional mutations in BTK in humans result in a primary immunodeficiency disease (X-linked agammaglobuinaemia) characterized by a defect in B cell development with a block between pro- and pre-B cell stages. The result is an almost complete absence of B lymphocytes, causing a pronounced reduction of serum immunoglobulin of all classes. These findings support a key role for BTK in the regulation of the production of auto-antibodies in autoimmune diseases.

[004] BTK is expressed in numerous B cell lymphomas and leukemias. Other diseases with an important role for dysfunctional B cells are B cell malignancies, as described in Hendriks, et al. , Nat. Rev. Cancer, 2014, 14, 219-231. The reported role for BTK in the regulation of proliferation and apoptosis of B cells indicates the potential for BTK inhibitors in the treatment of B cell lymphomas. BTK inhibitors have thus been developed as potential therapies for many of these malignancies, as described in D'Cruz, et ah, OncoTargets and Therapy 2013, 6, 161-176.

[005] Programmed death 1 (PD-1) is a 288-amino acid transmembrane

immunocheckpoint receptor protein expressed by T cells, B cells, natural killer (NK) T cells, activated monocytes, and dendritic cells. PD-1, which is also known as CD279, is an immunoreceptor belonging to the CD28 family and in humans is encoded by the Pdcdl gene on chromosome 2. PD-1 consists of one immunoglobulin (Ig) superfamily domain, a transmembrane region, and an intracellular domain containing an

immunoreceptor tyrosine-based inhibitory motif (ITIM) and an immunoreceptor tyrosine- based switch motif (ITSM). PD-1 and its ligands (PD-L1 and PD-L2) play a key role in immune tolerance, as described in Keir, et al., Annu. Rev. Immunol. 2008, 26, 677-704. PD-1 provides inhibitory signals that negatively regulate T cell immune responses. PD- Ll (also known as B7-H1 or CD274) and PD-L2 (also known as B7-DC or CD273) are expressed on tumor cells and stromal cells, which may be encountered by activated T cells expressing PD-1, leading to immunosuppression of the T cells. PD-L1 is a 290 amino acid transmembrane protein encoded by the Cd274 gene on human chromosome 9. Blocking the interaction between PD-1 and its ligands PD-L1 and PD-L2 by use of a PD- 1 inhibitor, a PD-L1 inhibitor, and/or a PD-L2 inhibitor can overcome immune resistance, as demonstrated in recent clinical studies, such as that described in Topalian, et ah, N. Eng. J. Med. 2012, 366, 2443. PD-L1 is expressed on many tumor cell lines, while PD-L2 is expressed is expressed mostly on dendritic cells and a few tumor lines. In addition to T cells (which inducibly express PD-1 after activation), PD-1 is also expressed on B cells, natural killer cells, macrophages, activated monocytes, and dendritic cells.

[006] In many solid tumors, the supportive microenvironment (which may make up the majority of the tumor mass) is a dynamic force that enables tumor survival. The tumor microenvironment is generally defined as a complex mixture of "cells, soluble factors, signaling molecules, extracellular matrices, and mechanical cues that promote neoplastic transformation, support tumor growth and invasion, protect the tumor from host immunity, foster therapeutic resistance, and provide niches for dominant metastases to thrive," as described in Swartz, et ah, Cancer Res., 2012, 72, 2473. Although tumors express antigens that should be recognized by T cells, tumor clearance by the immune system is rare because of immune suppression by the microenvironment. Addressing the tumor cells themselves with e.g. chemotherapy has also proven to be insufficient to overcome the protective effects of the microenvironment. New approaches are thus urgently needed for more effective treatment of solid tumors that take into account the role of the microenvironment. The supportive microenvironment also plays a critical role in many B cell cancers such as acute leukemias, myelodysplastic syndromes, chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) and small lymphocytic leukemia (SLL), mucosa-associated lymphoid tissue (MALT) lymphomas, and multiple myeloma (MM). Burger, et al, Blood, 2009, 114, 3367-75. For example, CLL and SLL cells rapidly accumulate and are resistant to apoptosis in vivo, but are known to die rapidly in vitro. Buchner, et al, Blood 2010, 115, 4497-506. One cause of this effect is from nonmalignant accessory cells in the tumor microenvironment, such as stromal cell contact mediated cell survival. Stromal cells in the bone marrow and lymph nodes are known to have an antiapoptotic and protective effect on CLL cells, protecting them from both chemotherapeutic and spontaneous apoptosis. Mudry, et al, Blood 2000, 96, 1926-32. The chemokine SDFl (CXCL12) directs homing of CLL cells towards protective niches. Burger, et al, Blood 2005, 106, 1824-30. Existing drugs that target the BCR pathway in B cell malignancies can lead to some lymphocytosis (lymphocyte egress from nodal compartments), through disruption of CXCR4-SDFl signaling and other adhesion factors in bone marrow and the resulting mobilization of cells. However, existing therapies may not eradicate residual malignant B cell populations in the microenvironment of the bone marrow and lymph nodes, where protective stromal cells prevent apoptosis. There is thus an urgent need for treatments that reduce or overcome the protective effect of the

microenvironment on CLL cells to enable superior clinical responses in patients.

[007] PI3K inhibitors are members of a unique and conserved family of intracellular lipid kinases that phosphorylate the 3'-OH group on phosphatidylinositols or

phosphoinositides. PI3K inhibitors are key signaling enzymes that relay signals from cell surface receptors to downstream effectors. The PI3K family comprises 15 kinases with distinct substrate specificities, expression patterns, and modes of regulation. The class I PI3K inhibitors (pi 10a, pi 10β, pi 105, and pi 10γ) are typically activated by tyrosine kinases or G-protein coupled receptors to generate PIP3, which engages downstream effectors such as those in the Akt/PDKl pathway, mTOR, the Tec family kinases, and the Rho family GTPases.

[008] The PI3K signaling pathway is known to be one of the most highly mutated in human cancers. PI3K signaling is also a key factor in disease states including hematologic malignancies, non-Hodgkin's lymphoma (such as diffuse large B-cell lymphoma), allergic contact dermatitis, rheumatoid arthritis, osteoarthritis, inflammatory bowel diseases, chronic obstructive pulmonary disorder, psoriasis, multiple sclerosis, asthma, disorders related to diabetic complications, and inflammatory complications of the cardiovascular system such as acute coronary syndrome. The role of PI3K in cancer has been discussed, for example, in Engleman, Nat. Rev. Cancer 2009, 9, 550-562. The PI3K-5 and ΡΙ3Κ-γ isoforms are preferentially expressed in normal and malignant leukocytes.

[009] The delta (δ) isoform of class I PI3K (PI3K-5) is involved in mammalian immune system functions such as T-cell function, B-cell activation, mast cell activation, dendritic cell function, and neutrophil activity. Due to its role in immune system function, PI3K-5 is also involved in a number of diseases related to undesirable immune response such as allergic reactions, inflammatory diseases, inflammation mediated angiogenesis, rheumatoid arthritis, auto-immune diseases such as lupus, asthma, emphysema and other respiratory diseases. The gamma (γ) isoform of class I PI3K (ΡΙ3Κ-γ) is also involved in immune system functions and plays a role in leukocyte signaling and has been implicated in inflammation, rheumatoid arthritis, and autoimmune diseases such as lupus.

[0010] Downstream mediators of the PI3K signal transduction pathway include Akt and mammalian target of rapamycin (mTOR). One important function of Akt is to augment the activity of mTOR, through phosphorylation of TSC2 and other mechanisms. mTOR is a serine-threonine kinase related to the lipid kinases of the PI3K family and has been implicated in a wide range of biological processes including cell growth, cell proliferation, cell motility and survival. Disregulation of the mTOR pathway has been reported in various types of cancer. [0011] In view of the above, PI3K inhibitors are prime targets for drug development, as described in Kurt, et ah, Anticancer Res. 2012, 32, 2463-70. Several PI3K inhibitors are known, including those that are PI3K-5 inhibitors, ΡΙ3Κ-γ inhibitors and those that are ΡΙ3Κ-δ,γ inhibitors.

[0012] The present invention includes the unexpected discovery that combinations of a BTK inhibitor, a PD-1 inhibitor, and/or a PI3K inhibitor exhibit surprising and synergistic effectiveness in the treatment of any of several types of cancers such as solid tumor cancers and hematological cancers, as well as other disorders. The present invention also includes the unexpected discovery that the combination of a PD-1 inhibitor and a BTK inhibitor is effective and synergistic in the treatment of any of several types of cancers such as solid tumor cancers. The present invention further includes the unexpected discovery that the combination of a PD-1 inhibitor and a PI3K inhibitor is effective and synergistic in the treatment of any of several types of cancers such as solid tumor cancers. The present invention additionally includes the unexpected discovery that combinations of a BTK inhibitor, a PD-1 inhibitor (such as an anti-PD-1 antibody) and/or a PD-L1 inhibitor (such as an anti-PD-Ll antibody), and/or a PI3K inhibitor exhibit surprising synergy in the suppression of the supportive solid tumor microenvironment.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[00327] Unless defined otherwise, all technical and scientific terms used herein have the same meaning as is commonly understood by one of skill in the art to which this invention belongs. All patents and publications referred to herein are incorporated by reference in their entireties.

[00328] The terms "co-administration," "co-administering," "administered in combination with," and "administering in combination with" as used herein, encompass administration of two or more active pharmaceutical ingredients to a subject so that both active pharmaceutical ingredients and/or their metabolites are present in the subject at the same time. Co-administration includes simultaneous administration in separate compositions, administration at different times in separate compositions, or

administration in a composition in which two or more active pharmaceutical ingredients are present. Simultaneous administration in separate compositions and administration in a composition in which two or more active pharmaceutical ingredients are present is preferred.

[00329] The term "effective amount" or "therapeutically effective amount" refers to that amount of a compound or combination of compounds as described herein that is sufficient to effect the intended application including, but not limited to, disease treatment. A therapeutically effective amount may vary depending upon the intended application {in vitro or in vivo), or the subject and disease condition being treated {e.g., the weight, age and gender of the subject), the severity of the disease condition, the manner of administration, etc. which can readily be determined by one of ordinary skill in the art. The term also applies to a dose that will induce a particular response in target cells, {e.g., the reduction of platelet adhesion and/or cell migration). The specific dose will vary depending on the particular compounds chosen, the dosing regimen to be followed, whether the compound is administered in combination with other compounds, timing of administration, the tissue to which it is administered, and the physical delivery system in which the compound is carried.

[00330] A "therapeutic effect" as that term is used herein, encompasses a therapeutic benefit and/or a prophylactic benefit as described herein. A prophylactic effect includes delaying or eliminating the appearance of a disease or condition, delaying or eliminating the onset of symptoms of a disease or condition, slowing, halting, or reversing the progression of a disease or condition, or any combination thereof.

[00331] The term "pharmaceutically acceptable salt" refers to salts derived from a variety of organic and inorganic counter ions known in the art. Pharmaceutically acceptable acid addition salts can be formed with inorganic acids and organic acids. Inorganic acids from which salts can be derived include, for example, hydrochloric acid, hydrobromic acid, sulfuric acid, nitric acid and phosphoric acid. Organic acids from which salts can be derived include, for example, acetic acid, propionic acid, glycolic acid, pyruvic acid, oxalic acid, maleic acid, malonic acid, succinic acid, fumaric acid, tartaric acid, citric acid, benzoic acid, cinnamic acid, mandelic acid, methanesulfonic acid, ethanesulfonic acid, p-toluenesulfonic acid and salicylic acid. Pharmaceutically acceptable base addition salts can be formed with inorganic and organic bases. Inorganic bases from which salts can be derived include, for example, sodium, potassium, lithium, ammonium, calcium, magnesium, iron, zinc, copper, manganese and aluminum. Organic bases from which salts can be derived include, for example, primary, secondary, and tertiary amines, substituted amines including naturally occurring substituted amines, cyclic amines and basic ion exchange resins. Specific examples include isopropylamine, trimethylamine, diethylamine, triethylamine, tripropylamine, and ethanolamine. In some embodiments, the pharmaceutically acceptable base addition salt is chosen from ammonium, potassium, sodium, calcium, and magnesium salts. The term "cocrystal" refers to a molecular complex derived from a number of cocrystal formers known in the art. Unlike a salt, a cocrystal typically does not involve hydrogen transfer between the cocrystal and the drug, and instead involves intermolecular interactions, such as hydrogen bonding, aromatic ring stacking, or dispersive forces, between the cocrystal former and the drug in the crystal structure.

[00332] "Pharmaceutically acceptable carrier" or "pharmaceutically acceptable excipient" is intended to include any and all solvents, dispersion media, coatings, antibacterial and antifungal agents, isotonic and absorption delaying agents, and inert ingredients. The use of such pharmaceutically acceptable carriers or pharmaceutically acceptable excipients for active pharmaceutical ingredients is well known in the art. Except insofar as any conventional pharmaceutically acceptable carrier or

pharmaceutically acceptable excipient is incompatible with the active pharmaceutical ingredient, its use in the therapeutic compositions of the invention is contemplated. Additional active pharmaceutical ingredients, such as other drugs, can also be incorporated into the described compositions and methods.

[00333] "Prodrug" is intended to describe a compound that may be converted under physiological conditions or by solvolysis to a biologically active compound described herein. Thus, the term "prodrug" refers to a precursor of a biologically active compound that is pharmaceutically acceptable. A prodrug may be inactive when administered to a subject, but is converted in vivo to an active compound, for example, by hydrolysis. The prodrug compound often offers the advantages of solubility, tissue compatibility or delayed release in a mammalian organism (see, e.g., Bundgaard, H., Design of Prodrugs (1985) (Elsevier, Amsterdam). The term "prodrug" is also intended to include any covalently bonded carriers, which release the active compound in vivo when administered to a subject. Prodrugs of an active compound, as described herein, may be prepared by modifying functional groups present in the active compound in such a way that the modifications are cleaved, either in routine manipulation or in vivo, to yield the active parent compound. Prodrugs include, for example, compounds wherein a hydroxy, amino or mercapto group is bonded to any group that, when the prodrug of the active compound is administered to a mammalian subject, cleaves to form a free hydroxy, free amino or free mercapto group, respectively. Examples of prodrugs include, but are not limited to, acetates, formates and benzoate derivatives of an alcohol, various ester derivatives of a carboxylic acid, or acetamide, formamide and benzamide derivatives of an amine functional group in the active compound. [00334] The terms "QD," "qd," or "q.d." mean quaque die, once a day, or once daily. The terms "BID," "bid," or "b.i.d." mean bis in die, twice a day, or twice daily. The terms "TID," "tid," or "t.i.d." mean ter in die, three times a day, or three times daily. The terms "QID," "qid," or "q.i.d." mean quater in die, four times a day, or four times daily.

[00335] The term "in vivo" refers to an event that takes place in a subject's body.

[00336] The term "in vitro" refers to an event that takes places outside of a subject's body. In vitro assays encompass cell-based assays in which cells alive or dead are employed and may also encompass a cell-free assay in which no intact cells are employed.

[00337] Unless otherwise stated, the chemical structures depicted herein are intended to include compounds which differ only in the presence of one or more isotopically enriched atoms. For example, compounds where one or more hydrogen atoms is replaced by deuterium or tritium, or wherein one or more carbon atoms is replaced by ¹³C- or ¹⁴C- enriched carbons, are within the scope of this invention.

[00338] When ranges are used herein to describe, for example, physical or chemical properties such as molecular weight or chemical formulae, all combinations and subcombinations of ranges and specific embodiments therein are intended to be included. Use of the term "about" when referring to a number or a numerical range means that the number or numerical range referred to is an approximation within experimental variability (or within statistical experimental error), and thus the number or numerical range may vary. The variation is typically from 0% to 15%, preferably from 0% to 10%, more preferably from 0% to 5% of the stated number or numerical range. The term "comprising" (and related terms such as "comprise" or "comprises" or "having" or "including") includes those embodiments such as, for example, an embodiment of any composition of matter, method or process that "consist of or "consist essentially of the described features.

Bivalent radicals derived from univalent poly cyclic hydrocarbon radicals whose names end in "-yl" by removal of one hydrogen atom from the carbon atom with the free valence are named by adding "-idene" to the name of the corresponding univalent radical, e.g., a naphthyl group with two points of attachment is termed naphthylidene. Whenever it appears herein, a numerical range such as "6 to 10" refers to each integer in the given range; e.g., "6 to 10 ring atoms" means that the aryl group may consist of 6 ring atoms, 7 ring atoms, etc., up to and including 10 ring atoms.

Whenever it appears herein, a numerical range such as "5 to 18" refers to each integer in the given range - e.g., "5 to 18 ring atoms" means that the heteroaryl group may consist of 5 ring atoms, 6 ring atoms, etc., up to and including 18 ring atoms. Bivalent radicals derived from univalent heteroaryl radicals whose names end in "-yl" by removal of one hydrogen atom from the atom with the free valence are named by adding "-idene" to the name of the corresponding univalent radical - e.g., a pyridyl group with two points of attachment is a pyridylidene. A N-containing

"heteroaromatic" or "heteroaryl" moiety refers to an aromatic group in which at least one of the skeletal atoms of the ring is a nitrogen atom. The polycyclic heteroaryl group may be fused or non-fused. The heteroatom(s) in the heteroaryl radical are optionally oxidized. One or more nitrogen atoms, if present, are optionally quaternized.

[00375] Substituted heteroaryl also includes ring systems substituted with one or more oxide (-0-) substituents, such as, for example, pyridinyl N-oxides.

[00376] "Heteroarylalkyl" refers to a moiety having an aryl moiety, as described herein, connected to an alkylene moiety, as described herein, wherein the connection to the remainder of the molecule is through the alkylene group.

[00377] "Heterocycloalkyl" refers to a stable 3- to 18-membered non-aromatic ring radical that comprises two to twelve carbon atoms and from one to six heteroatoms selected from nitrogen, oxygen and sulfur. Whenever it appears herein, a numerical range such as "3 to 18" refers to each integer in the given range - e.g., "3 to 18 ring atoms" means that the heterocycloalkyl group may consist of 3 ring atoms, 4 ring atoms, etc., up to and including 18 ring atoms. Unless stated otherwise specifically in the specification, the heterocycloalkyl radical is a monocyclic, bicyclic, tricyclic or tetracyclic ring system, which may include fused or bridged ring systems. The heteroatoms in the heterocycloalkyl radical may be optionally oxidized. One or more nitrogen atoms, if present, are optionally quaternized. The heterocycloalkyl radical is partially or fully saturated. The heterocycloalkyl may be attached to the rest of the molecule through any atom of the ring(s).

[00378] "Heterocycloalkyl" also includes bicyclic ring systems wherein one non- aromatic ring, usually with 3 to 7 ring atoms, contains at least 2 carbon atoms in addition to 1-3 heteroatoms independently selected from oxygen, sulfur, and nitrogen, as well as combinations comprising at least one of the foregoing heteroatoms; and the other ring, usually with 3 to 7 ring atoms, optionally contains 1-3 heteroatoms independently selected from oxygen, sulfur, and nitrogen and is not aromatic.

[00379] "Nitro" refers to the -N0₂ radical.

[00380] "Oxa" refers to the -O- radical.

[00381] "Oxo" refers to the =0 radical.

[00382] "Sulfanyl" refers to groups that include -S-(optionally substituted alkyl), -S- (optionally substituted aryl), -S-(optionally substituted heteroaryl) and -S-(optionally substituted heterocycloalkyl).

[00383] "Sulfinyl" refers to groups that include -S(0)-H, -S(0)-(optionally substituted alkyl), -S(0)-(optionally substituted amino), -S(0)-(optionally substituted aryl), -S(O)- (optionally substituted heteroaryl) and -S(0)-(optionally substituted heterocycloalkyl).

[00384] "Sulfonyl" refers to groups that include -S(0₂)-H, -S(0₂)-(optionally substituted alkyl), -S(0₂)-(optionally substituted amino), -S(0₂)-(optionally substituted aryl), -S(0₂)- (optionally substituted heteroaryl), and -S(0₂)-(optionally substituted heterocycloalkyl).

[00385] "Sulfonamidyl" or "sulfonamido" refers to a -S(=0)₂-NRR radical, where each R is selected independently from the group consisting of hydrogen, alkyl, cycloalkyl, aryl, heteroaryl (bonded through a ring carbon) and heteroalicyclic (bonded through a ring carbon). The R groups in -NRR of the -S(=0)₂-NRR radical may be taken together with the nitrogen to which it is attached to form a 4-, 5-, 6- or 7-membered ring. A sulfonamido group is optionally substituted by one or more of the substituents described for alkyl, cycloalkyl, aryl, heteroaryl, respectively.

[00386] "Sulfoxyl" refers to a -S(=0)₂OH radical.

[00387] "Sulfonate" refers to a -S(=0)2-OR radical, where R is selected from the group consisting of alkyl, cycloalkyl, aryl, heteroaryl (bonded through a ring carbon) and heteroalicyclic (bonded through a ring carbon). A sulfonate group is optionally substituted on R by one or more of the substituents described for alkyl, cycloalkyl, aryl, heteroaryl, respectively.

[00388] "Isomers" are different compounds that have the same molecular formula. "Stereoisomers" are isomers that differ only in the way the atoms are arranged in space - i.e., having a different stereochemical configuration. "Enantiomers" are a pair of stereoisomers that are non-superimposable mirror images of each other. A 1 : 1 mixture of a pair of enantiomers is a "racemic" mixture. The term "(±)" is used to designate a racemic mixture where appropriate. "Diastereoisomers" are stereoisomers that have at least two asymmetric atoms, but which are not mirror-images of each other. The absolute stereochemistry is specified according to the Cahn-Ingold-Prelog R-S system. When a compound is a pure enantiomer the stereochemistry at each chiral carbon can be specified by either (R) or (S). Resolved compounds whose absolute configuration is unknown can be designated (+) or (-) depending on the direction (dextro- or levorotatory) which they rotate plane polarized light at the wavelength of the sodium D line. Certain of the compounds described herein contain one or more asymmetric centers and can thus give rise to enantiomers, diastereomers, and other stereoisomeric forms that can be defined, in terms of absolute stereochemistry, as (R) or (S). The present chemical entities, pharmaceutical compositions and methods are meant to include all such possible isomers, including racemic mixtures, optically pure forms and intermediate mixtures. Optically active (R)- and (^-isomers can be prepared using chiral synthons or chiral reagents, or resolved using conventional techniques. When the compounds described herein contain olefinic double bonds or other centers of geometric asymmetry, and unless specified otherwise, it is intended that the compounds include both E and Z geometric isomers.

[00389] "Enantiomeric purity" as used herein refers to the relative amounts, expressed as a percentage, of the presence of a specific enantiomer relative to the other enantiomer. For example, if a compound, which may potentially have an (R)- or an (^-isomeric configuration, is present as a racemic mixture, the enantiomeric purity is about 50% with respect to either the (R)- or (^-isomer. If that compound has one isomeric form predominant over the other, for example, 80% (5)-isomer and 20% (i?)-isomer, the enantiomeric purity of the compound with respect to the (S)-isomeric form is 80%. The enantiomeric purity of a compound can be determined in a number of ways known in the art, including but not limited to chromatography using a chiral support, polarimetric measurement of the rotation of polarized light, nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy using chiral shift reagents which include but are not limited to lanthanide containing chiral complexes or Pirkle's reagents, or derivatization of a compounds using a chiral compound such as Mosher's acid followed by chromatography or nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy.

[00390] In preferred embodiments, the enantiomerically enriched composition has a higher potency with respect to therapeutic utility per unit mass than does the racemic mixture of that composition. Enantiomers can be isolated from mixtures by methods known to those skilled in the art, including chiral high pressure liquid chromatography (HPLC) and the formation and crystallization of chiral salts; or preferred enantiomers can be prepared by asymmetric syntheses. See, for example, Jacques, et al, Enantiomers, Racemates and Resolutions (Wiley Interscience, New York, 1981); Eliel,

Stereochemistry of Carbon Compounds (McGraw-Hill, NY, 1962); and Eliel and Wilen, Stereochemistry of Organic Compounds (Wiley -Interscience, New York, 1994).

[00391] The terms "enantiomerically enriched" and "non-racemic," as used herein, refer to compositions in which the percent by weight of one enantiomer is greater than the amount of that one enantiomer in a control mixture of the racemic composition (e.g., greater than 1 : 1 by weight). For example, an enantiomerically enriched preparation of the (5)-enantiomer, means a preparation of the compound having greater than 50% by weight of the (5)-enantiomer relative to the (i?)-enantiomer, such as at least 75% by weight, or such as at least 80% by weight. In some embodiments, the enrichment can be

significantly greater than 80% by weight, providing a "substantially enantiomerically enriched" or a "substantially non-racemic" preparation, which refers to preparations of compositions which have at least 85% by weight of one enantiomer relative to other enantiomer, such as at least 90% by weight, or such as at least 95% by weight. The terms "enantiomerically pure" or "substantially enantiomerically pure" refers to a composition that comprises at least 98% of a single enantiomer and less than 2% of the opposite enantiomer.

[00392] "Moiety" refers to a specific segment or functional group of a molecule.

Chemical moieties are often recognized chemical entities embedded in or appended to a molecule.

[00393] "Tautomers" are structurally distinct isomers that interconvert by

tautomerization. "Tautomerization" is a form of isomerization and includes prototropic or proton-shift tautomerization, which is considered a subset of acid-base chemistry.

"Prototropic tautomerization" or "proton-shift tautomerization" involves the migration of a proton accompanied by changes in bond order, often the interchange of a single bond with an adjacent double bond. Where tautomerization is possible (e.g. in solution), a chemical equilibrium of tautomers can be reached. An example of tautomerization is keto-enol tautomerization. A specific example of keto-enol tautomerization is the interconversion of pentane-2,4-dione and 4-hydroxypent-3-en-2-one tautomers. Another example of tautomerization is phenol-keto tautomerization. A specific example of phenol-keto tautomerization is the interconversion of pyridin-4-ol and pyridin-4(lH)-one tautomers.

[00394] A "leaving group or atom" is any group or atom that will, under selected reaction conditions, cleave from the starting material, thus promoting reaction at a specified site. Examples of such groups, unless otherwise specified, include halogen atoms and mesyloxy, p-nitrobenzensulphonyloxy and tosyloxy groups.

[00395] "Protecting group" is intended to mean a group that selectively blocks one or more reactive sites in a multifunctional compound such that a chemical reaction can be carried out selectively on another unprotected reactive site and the group can then be readily removed after the selective reaction is complete. A variety of protecting groups are disclosed, for example, in T. Η. Greene and P. G. M. Wuts, Protective Groups in Organic Synthesis, Third Edition, John Wiley & Sons, New York (1999). [00396] "Solvate" refers to a compound in physical association with one or more molecules of a pharmaceutically acceptable solvent.

[00397] "Substituted" means that the referenced group may have attached one or more additional groups, radicals or moieties individually and independently selected from, for example, acyl, alkyl, alkylaryl, cycloalkyl, aralkyl, aryl, carbohydrate, carbonate, heteroaryl, heterocycloalkyl, hydroxy, alkoxy, aryloxy, mercapto, alkylthio, arylthio, cyano, halo, carbonyl, ester, thiocarbonyl, isocyanato, thiocyanato, isothiocyanato, nitro, oxo, perhaloalkyl, perfluoroalkyl, phosphate, silyl, sulfinyl, sulfonyl, sulfonamidyl, sulfoxyl, sulfonate, urea, and amino, including mono- and di-substituted amino groups, and protected derivatives thereof. The substituents themselves may be substituted, for example, a cycloalkyl substituent may itself have a halide substituent at one or more of its ring carbons. The term "optionally substituted" means optional substitution with the specified groups, radicals or moieties.

[00398] As used herein, the term "warhead" or "warhead group" refers to a functional group present on a compound of the present invention wherein that functional group is capable of covalently binding to an amino acid residue (such as cysteine, lysine, histidine, or other residues capable of being covalently modified) present in the binding pocket of the target protein, thereby irreversibly inhibiting the protein.

[00399] Compounds of the invention also include crystalline and amorphous forms of those compounds, including, for example, polymorphs, pseudopolymorphs, solvates, hydrates, unsolvated polymorphs (including anhydrates), conformational polymorphs, and amorphous forms of the compounds, as well as mixtures thereof. "Crystalline form" and "polymorph" are intended to include all crystalline and amorphous forms of the compound, including, for example, polymorphs, pseudopolymorphs, solvates, hydrates, unsolvated polymorphs (including anhydrates), conformational polymorphs, and amorphous forms, as well as mixtures thereof, unless a particular crystalline or amorphous form is referred to.

[00400] Compounds of the invention also include antibodies. The terms "antibody" and its plural form "antibodies" refer to whole immunoglobulins and any antigen-binding fragment ("antigen-binding portion") or single chains thereof. An "antibody" further refers to a glycoprotein comprising at least two heavy (H) chains and two light (L) chains inter-connected by disulfide bonds, or an antigen-binding portion thereof. Each heavy chain is comprised of a heavy chain variable region (abbreviated herein as V_H) and a heavy chain constant region. The heavy chain constant region is comprised of three domains, CHI, CH2 and CH3. Each light chain is comprised of a light chain variable region (abbreviated herein as V_L) and a light chain constant region. The light chain constant region is comprised of one domain, C_L. The V_H and V_L regions of an antibody may be further subdivided into regions of hypervariability, which are referred to as complementarity determining regions (CDR) or hypervariable regions (HVR), and which can be interspersed with regions that are more conserved, termed framework regions (FR). Each V_H and V_L is composed of three CDRs and four FRs, arranged from amino- terminus to carboxy -terminus in the following order: FR1, CDR1, FR2, CDR2, FR3, CDR3, FR4. The variable regions of the heavy and light chains contain a binding domain that interacts with an antigen epitope or epitopes. The constant regions of the antibodies may mediate the binding of the immunoglobulin to host tissues or factors, including various cells of the immune system (e.g., effector cells) and the first component (Clq) of the classical complement system.

[00401] The terms "monoclonal antibody," "mAb," "monoclonal antibody

composition," or their plural forms refer to a preparation of antibody molecules of single molecular composition. A monoclonal antibody composition displays a single binding specificity and affinity for a particular epitope. Monoclonal antibodies specific to e.g. PD-1, PD-Ll, or PD-L2 can be made using knowledge and skill in the art of injecting test subjects with PD-1, PD-Ll, or PD-L2 antigen and then isolating hybridomas expressing antibodies having the desired sequence or functional characteristics. DNA encoding the monoclonal antibodies is readily isolated and sequenced using conventional procedures (e.g., by using oligonucleotide probes that are capable of binding specifically to genes encoding the heavy and light chains of the monoclonal antibodies). The hybridoma cells serve as a preferred source of such DNA. Once isolated, the DNA may be placed into expression vectors, which are then transfected into host cells such as E. coli cells, simian COS cells, Chinese hamster ovary (CHO) cells, or myeloma cells that do not otherwise produce immunoglobulin protein, to obtain the synthesis of monoclonal antibodies in the recombinant host cells. Recombinant production of antibodies will be described in more detail below.

[00402] The terms "antigen-binding portion" or "antigen-binding fragment" of an antibody (or simply "antibody portion"), as used herein, refers to one or more fragments of an antibody that retain the ability to specifically bind to an antigen (e.g., PD-1, PD-Ll, or PD-L2). It has been shown that the antigen-binding function of an antibody can be performed by fragments of a full-length antibody. Examples of binding fragments encompassed within the term "antigen-binding portion" of an antibody include (i) a Fab fragment, a monovalent fragment consisting of the V_L, V_H, C_L and CHI domains; (ii) a F(ab')2 fragment, a bivalent fragment comprising two Fab fragments linked by a disulfide bridge at the hinge region; (iii) a Fd fragment consisting of the V_H and CHI domains; (iv) a Fv fragment consisting of the V_L and V_H domains of a single arm of an antibody, (v) a domain antibody (dAb) fragment (Ward et al., Nature, 1989, 341, 544-546), which may consist of a V_H or a V_L domain; and (vi) an isolated complementarity determining region (CDR). Furthermore, although the two domains of the Fv fragment, V_L and V_H, are coded for by separate genes, they can be joined, using recombinant methods, by a synthetic linker that enables them to be made as a single protein chain in which the V_L and V_H regions pair to form monovalent molecules known as single chain Fv (scFv); see e.g., Bird et al, Science 1988, 242, 423-426; and Huston et al, Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. USA 1988, 85, 5879-5883). Such scFv chain antibodies are also intended to be encompassed within the terms "antigen-binding portion" or "antigen-binding fragment" of an antibody. These antibody fragments are obtained using conventional techniques known to those with skill in the art, and the fragments are screened for utility in the same manner as are intact antibodies.

[00403] The term "human antibody," as used herein, is intended to include antibodies having variable regions in which both the framework and CDR regions are derived from human germline immunoglobulin sequences. Furthermore, if the antibody contains a constant region, the constant region also is derived from human germline

immunoglobulin sequences. The human antibodies of the invention may 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). The term "human antibody", as used herein, is not intended to 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.

[00404] The term "human monoclonal antibody" refers to antibodies displaying a single binding specificity which have variable regions in which both the framework and CDR regions are derived from human germline immunoglobulin sequences. In one

embodiment, the human monoclonal antibodies are produced by a hybridoma which includes a B cell obtained from a transgenic nonhuman animal, e.g., a transgenic mouse, having a genome comprising a human heavy chain transgene and a light chain transgene fused to an immortalized cell.

[00405] The term "recombinant human antibody", as used herein, includes all human antibodies that are prepared, expressed, created or isolated by recombinant means, such as (a) antibodies isolated from an animal (e.g., a mouse) that is transgenic or

transchromosomal for human immunoglobulin genes or a hybridoma prepared therefrom (described further below), (b) antibodies isolated from a host cell transformed to express the human antibody, e.g., from a transfectoma, (c) antibodies isolated from a

recombinant, combinatorial human antibody library, and (d) antibodies prepared, expressed, created or isolated by any other means that involve splicing of human immunoglobulin gene sequences to other DNA sequences. Such recombinant human antibodies have variable regions in which the framework and CDR regions are derived from human germline immunoglobulin sequences. In certain embodiments, however, such recombinant human antibodies can be subjected to in vitro mutagenesis (or, when an animal transgenic for human Ig sequences is used, in vivo somatic mutagenesis) and thus the amino acid sequences of the V_H and V_L regions of the recombinant antibodies are sequences that, while derived from and related to human germline V_H and V_L sequences, may not naturally exist within the human antibody germline repertoire in vivo.

[00406] As used herein, "isotype" refers to the antibody class (e.g., IgM or IgGl) that is encoded by the heavy chain constant region genes.

[00407] The phrases "an antibody recognizing an antigen" and "an antibody specific for an antigen" are used interchangeably herein with the term "an antibody which binds specifically to an antigen."

[00408] The term "human antibody derivatives" refers to any modified form of the human antibody, e.g., a conjugate of the antibody and another active pharmaceutical ingredient or antibody. The term "conjugate" or "immunoconjugate" refers to an antibody, or a fragment thereof, conjugated to a therapeutic moiety, such as a bacterial toxin, a cytotoxic drug or a radionuclide-containing toxin. Toxic moieties can be conjugated to antibodies of the invention using methods available in the art.

[00409] The terms "humanized antibody," "humanized antibodies," and "humanized" are intended to refer to antibodies in which CDR sequences derived from the germline of another mammalian species, such as a mouse, have been grafted onto human framework sequences. Additional framework region modifications may be made within the human framework sequences. Humanized forms of non-human (for example, murine) antibodies are chimeric antibodies that contain minimal sequence derived from non-human immunoglobulin. For the most part, humanized antibodies are human immunoglobulins (recipient antibody) in which residues from a hypervariable region of the recipient are replaced by residues from a 15 hypervariable region of a non-human species (donor antibody) such as mouse, rat, rabbit or nonhuman primate having the desired specificity, affinity, and capacity. In some instances, Fv framework region (FR) residues of the human immunoglobulin are replaced by corresponding non-human residues.

Furthermore, humanized antibodies may comprise residues that are not found in the recipient antibody or in the donor antibody. These modifications are made to further refine antibody performance. In general, the 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 and all or substantially all of the FR regions are those of a human immunoglobulin sequence. The humanized antibody optionally also will comprise at least a portion of an immunoglobulin constant region (Fc), typically that of a human immunoglobulin. For further details, see Jones et ah, Nature 1986, 321, 522-525;

Riechmann et ah, Nature 1988, 332, 323-329; and Presta, Curr. Op. Struct. Biol. 1992, 2, 593-596. [00410] The term "chimeric antibody" is intended to refer to antibodies in which the variable region sequences are derived from one species and the constant region sequences are derived from another species, such as an antibody in which the variable region sequences are derived from a mouse antibody and the constant region sequences are derived from a human antibody.

[00411] A "diabody" is a small antibody fragment with two antigen-binding sites. The fragments comprises a heavy chain variable domain (V_H) connected to a light chain variable domain (V_L) in the same polypeptide chain (V_H-V_L or V_L-V_H). By using a linker that is too short to allow pairing between the two domains on the same chain, the domains are forced to pair with the complementary domains of another chain and create two antigen-binding sites. Diabodies are described more fully in, e.g., European Patent No. EP 404,097, International Patent Publication No. WO 93/11161 ; and Bolliger et al. , Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. USA 1993, 90, 6444-6448.

[00412] The term "glycosylation" refers to a modified derivative of an antibody. An aglycoslated antibody lacks glycosylation. Glycosylation can be altered to, for example, increase the affinity of the antibody for antigen. Such carbohydrate modifications can be accomplished by, for example, altering one or more sites of glycosylation within the antibody sequence. For example, one or more amino acid substitutions can be made that result in elimination of one or more variable region framework glycosylation sites to thereby eliminate glycosylation at that site. Aglycosylation may increase the affinity of the antibody for antigen, as described in U.S. Patent Nos. 5,714,350 and 6,350,861. Additionally or alternatively, an antibody can be made that has an altered type of glycosylation, such as a hypofucosylated antibody having reduced amounts of fucosyl residues or an antibody having increased bisecting GlcNac structures. Such altered glycosylation patterns have been demonstrated to increase the ability of antibodies. Such carbohydrate modifications can be accomplished by, for example, expressing the antibody in a host cell with altered glycosylation machinery. Cells with altered glycosylation machinery have been described in the art and can be used as host cells in which to express recombinant antibodies of the invention to thereby produce an antibody with altered glycosylation. For example, the cell lines Ms704, Ms705, and Ms709 lack the fucosyltransferase gene, FUT8 (alpha (1,6) fucosyltransferase), such that antibodies expressed in the Ms704, Ms705, and Ms709 cell lines lack fucose on their carbohydrates. The Ms704, Ms705, and Ms709 FUT8-/- cell lines were created by the targeted disruption of the FUT8 gene in CHO/DG44 cells using two replacement vectors (see e.g. U.S. Patent Publication No. 2004/0110704 or Yamane-Ohnuki, et al. Biotechnol. Bioeng., 2004, 87, 614-622). As another example, European Patent No. EP 1,176,195 describes a cell line with a functionally disrupted FUT8 gene, which encodes a fucosyl transferase, such that antibodies expressed in such a cell line exhibit hypofucosylation by reducing or eliminating the alpha 1,6 bond-related enzyme, and also describes cell lines which have a low enzyme activity for adding fucose to the N-acetylglucosamine that binds to the Fc region of the antibody or does not have the enzyme activity, for example the rat myeloma cell line YB2/0 (ATCC CRL 1662). International Patent Publication WO 03/035835 describes a variant CHO cell line, Lec 13 cells, with reduced ability to attach fucose to Asn(297)-linked carbohydrates, also resulting in hypofucosylation of antibodies expressed in that host cell (see also Shields, et al., J. Biol. Chem. 2002, 277, 26733- 26740. International Patent Publication WO 99/54342 describes cell lines engineered to express glycoprotein-modifying glycosyl transferases (e.g., beta(l,4)-N- acetylglucosaminyltransferase III (GnTIII)) such that antibodies expressed in the engineered cell lines exhibit increased bisecting GlcNac structures which results in increased ADCC activity of the antibodies (see also Umana, et al, Nat. Biotech. 1999, 17, 176-180). Alternatively, the fucose residues of the antibody may be cleaved off using a fucosidase enzyme. For example, the fucosidase alpha-L-fucosidase removes fucosyl residues from antibodies as described in Tarentino, et al, Biochem. 1975, 14, 5516-5523.

[00413] "Pegylation" refers to a modified antibody, or a fragment thereof, that typically is reacted with polyethylene glycol (PEG), such as a reactive ester or aldehyde derivative of PEG, under conditions in which one or more PEG groups become attached to the antibody or antibody fragment. Pegylation may, for example, increase the biological (e.g., serum) half life of the antibody. Preferably, the pegylation is carried out via an acylation reaction or an alkylation reaction with a reactive PEG molecule (or an analogous reactive water-soluble polymer). As used herein, the term "polyethylene glycol" is intended to encompass any of the forms of PEG that have been used to derivatize other proteins, such as mono (Ci-Cio) alkoxy- or aryloxy-poly ethylene glycol or polyethylene glycol-maleimide. The antibody to be pegylated may be an aglycosylated antibody. Methods for pegylation are known in the art and can be applied to the antibodies of the invention, as described for example in European Patent Nos. EP 0154316 and EP 0401384.

[00414] The term "conservative amino acid substitutions" means amino acid sequence modifications which do not abrogate the binding of the antibody to the antigen.

Conservative amino acid substitutions include the substitution of an amino acid in one class by an amino acid of the same class, where a class is defined by common physicochemical amino acid side chain properties and high substitution frequencies in homologous proteins found in nature, as determined, for example, by a standard Dayhoff frequency exchange matrix or BLOSUM matrix. Six general classes of amino acid side chains have been categorized and include: Class I (Cys); Class II (Ser, Thr, Pro, Ala, Gly); Class III (Asn, Asp, Gin, Glu); Class IV (His, Arg, Lys); Class V (He, Leu, Val, Met); and Class VI (Phe, Tyr, Trp). For example, substitution of an Asp for another class III residue such as Asn, Gin, or Glu, is a conservative substitution. Thus, a predicted nonessential amino acid residue in an anti-IL-6 or anti-IL-6R antibody is preferably replaced with another amino acid residue from the same class. Methods of identifying amino acid conservative substitutions which do not eliminate antigen binding are well- known in the art (see, e.g. , Brummell, et al. , Biochemistry 1993, 32, 1180- 1187;

Kobayashi, et al, Protein Eng. 1999, 12, 879-884 (1999); and Burks, et al, Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. USA 1997, 94, 412-417).

[00415] The terms "sequence identity," "percent identity," and "sequence percent identity" in the context of two or more nucleic acids or polypeptides, refer to two or more sequences or subsequences that are the same or have a specified percentage of nucleotides or amino acid residues that are the same, when compared and aligned (introducing gaps, if necessary) for maximum correspondence, not considering any conservative amino acid substitutions as part of the sequence identity. The percent identity can be measured using sequence comparison software or algorithms or by visual inspection. Various algorithms and software are known in the art that can be used to obtain alignments of amino acid or nucleotide sequences. Suitable programs to determine percent sequence identity include for example the BLAST suite of programs available from the U.S. Government's National Center for Biotechnology Information BLAST web site. Comparisons between two sequences can be carried using either the BLASTN or BLASTP algorithm. BLASTN is used to compare nucleic acid sequences, while BLASTP is used to compare amino acid sequences. ALIGN, ALIGN-2

(Genentech, South San Francisco, California) or MegAlign, available from DNASTAR, are additional publicly available software programs that can be used to align sequences. One skilled in the art can determine appropriate parameters for maximal alignment by particular alignment software. In certain embodiments, the default parameters of the alignment software are used.

[00416] Certain embodiments of the present invention comprise a variant of an antibody, e.g., an anti-CD20 antibody and/or an anti-PD-1 antibody, anti-PD-Ll, and/or an anti- PD-L2 antibody. As used herein, the term "variant" encompasses but is not limited to antibodies which comprise an amino acid sequence which differs from the amino acid sequence of a reference antibody by way of one or more substitutions, deletions and/or additions at certain positions within or adjacent to the amino acid sequence of the reference antibody. The variant may comprise one or more conservative substitutions in its amino acid sequence as compared to the amino acid sequence of a reference antibody. Conservative substitutions may involve, e.g., the substitution of similarly charged or uncharged amino acids. The variant retains the ability to specifically bind to the antigen of the reference antibody.

[00417] As used herein, an antibody that "specifically binds to human PD-1" is intended to refer to an antibody that binds to human PD-1 with a K_D of 1 x lCf ⁷ M or less, more preferably 5x1 Cf ⁸ M or less, more preferably l xl Cf ⁸ M or less, more preferably 5 ^χ 1 Cf ⁹ M or less.

[00418] As used herein, an antibody that "specifically binds to human PD-L1" is intended to refer to an antibody that binds to human PD-L1 with a K_D of 1 xl0^~7 M or less, more preferably 5 ^χ 1 Cf ⁸ M or less, more preferably 1 x 1 Cf ⁸ M or less, more preferably 5xl(f ⁹ M or less.

[00419] As used herein, an antibody that "specifically binds to human PD-L2" is intended to refer to an antibody that binds to human PD-L2 with a K_D of 1 x 10 M or less, more preferably 5x 10 ⁸ M or less, more preferably 1 x10 ⁸ M or less, more preferably 5xl0^~9 M or less.

[00420] As used herein, an antibody that "specifically binds to human CD20" is intended to refer to an antibody that binds to human CD20 with a K_D of 1 x 10^~7 M or less, more preferably 5x10^~8 M or less, more preferably l x l 0^~8 M or less, more preferably 5xl0^~9 M or less.

[00421] The term "radioisotope-labeled complex" refers to both non-covalent and covalent attachment of a radioactive isotope, such as ⁹⁰Y, ^mIn, or ^ml, to an antibody, including conjugates.

[00422] The term "biosimilar" means a biological product that is highly similar to a U.S. licensed reference biological product notwithstanding minor differences in clinically inactive components, and for which there are no clinically meaningful differences between the biological product and the reference product in terms of the safety, purity, and potency of the product. Furthermore, a similar biological or "biosimilar" medicine is a biological medicine that is similar to another biological medicine that has already been authorized for use by the European Medicines Agency. The term "biosimilar" is also used synonymously by other national and regional regulatory agencies. Biological products or biological medicines are medicines that are made by or derived from a biological source, such as a bacterium or yeast. They can consist of relatively small molecules such as human insulin or erythropoietin, or complex molecules such as monoclonal antibodies. For example, if the reference anti-CD20 monoclonal antibody is rituximab, an anti-CD20 biosimilar monoclonal antibody approved by drug regulatory authorities with reference to rituximab is a "biosimilar to" rituximab or is a "biosimilar thereof rituximab. If the reference anti-PD-1 monoclonal antibody is pembrolizumab, an anti-PD-1 biosimilar monoclonal antibody approved by drug regulatory authorities with reference to pembrolizumab is a "biosimilar to" pembrolizumab or is a "biosimilar thereof of pembrolizumab. In Europe, a similar biological or "biosimilar" medicine is a biological medicine that is similar to another biological medicine that has already been authorized for use by the European Medicines Agency (EMA). The relevant legal basis for similar biological applications in Europe is Article 6 of Regulation (EC) No 726/2004 and Article 10(4) of Directive 2001/83/EC, as amended and therefore in Europe, the biosimilar may be authorised, approved for authorisation or subject of an application for authorisation under Article 6 of Regulation (EC) No 726/2004 and Article 10(4) of Directive 2001/83/EC. The already authorized original biological medicinal product may be referred to as a "reference medicinal product" in Europe. Some of the requirements for a product to be considered a biosimilar are outlined in the CHMP Guideline on Similar Biological Medicinal Products. In addition, product specific guidelines, including guidelines relating to monoclonal antibody biosimilars, are provided on a product-by-product basis by the EMA and published on its website. A biosimilar as described herein may be similar to the reference medicinal product by way of quality characteristics, biological activity, mechanism of action, safety profiles and/or efficacy. In addition, the biosimilar may be used or be intended for use to treat the same conditions as the reference medicinal product. Thus, a biosimilar as described herein may be deemed to have similar or highly similar quality characteristics to a reference medicinal product. Alternatively, or in addition, a biosimilar as described herein may be deemed to have similar or highly similar biological activity to a reference medicinal product.

Alternatively, or in addition, a biosimilar as described herein may be deemed to have a similar or highly similar safety profile to a reference medicinal product. Alternatively, or in addition, a biosimilar as described herein may be deemed to have similar or highly similar efficacy to a reference medicinal product. As described herein, a biosimilar in Europe is compared to a reference medicinal product which has been authorised by the EMA. However, in some instances, the biosimilar may be compared to a biological medicinal product which has been authorised outside the European Economic Area (a non-EEA authorised "comparator") in certain studies. Such studies include for example certain clinical and in vivo non-clinical studies. As used herein, the term "biosimilar" also relates to a biological medicinal product which has been or may be compared to a non-EEA authorised comparator. Certain biosimilars are proteins such as antibodies, antibody fragments (for example, antigen binding portions) and fusion proteins. A protein biosimilar may have an amino acid sequence that has minor modifications in the amino acid structure (including for example deletions, additions, and/or substitutions of amino acids) which do not significantly affect the function of the polypeptide. The biosimilar may comprise an amino acid sequence having a sequence identity of 97% or greater to the amino acid sequence of its reference medicinal product, e.g., 97%, 98%, 99% or 100%. The biosimilar may comprise one or more post-translational

modifications, for example, although not limited to, glycosylation, oxidation, deamidation, and/or truncation which is/are different to the post-translational modifications of the reference medicinal product, provided that the differences do not result in a change in safety and/or efficacy of the medicinal product. The biosimilar may have an identical or different glycosylation pattern to the reference medicinal product. Particularly, although not exclusively, the biosimilar may have a different glycosylation pattern if the differences address or are intended to address safety concerns associated with the reference medicinal product. Additionally, the biosimilar may deviate from the reference medicinal product in for example its strength, pharmaceutical form, formulation, excipients and/or presentation, providing safety and efficacy of the medicinal product is not compromised. The biosimilar may comprise differences in for example pharmacokinetic (PK) and/or pharmacodynamic (PD) profiles as compared to the reference medicinal product but is still deemed sufficiently similar to the reference medicinal product as to be authorised or considered suitable for authorisation. In certain circumstances, the biosimilar exhibits different binding characteristics as compared to the reference medicinal product, wherein the different binding characteristics are considered by a Regulatory Authority such as the EMA not to be a barrier for authorisation as a similar biological product. The term "biosimilar" is also used synonymously by other national and regional regulatory agencies.

[00423] The term "hematological malignancy" refers to mammalian cancers and tumors of the hematopoietic and lymphoid tissues, including but not limited to tissues of the blood, bone marrow, lymph nodes, and lymphatic system. Hematological malignancies are also referred to as "liquid tumors." Hematological malignancies include, but are not limited to, ALL, CLL, SLL, acute myelogenous leukemia (AML), chronic myelogenous leukemia (CML), acute monocytic leukemia (AMoL), Hodgkin's lymphoma, and non- Hodgkin's lymphomas. The term "B cell hematological malignancy" refers to hematological malignancies that affect B cells.

[00424] The term "solid tumor" refers to an abnormal mass of tissue that usually does not contain cysts or liquid areas. Solid tumors may be benign or malignant. The term "solid tumor cancer" refers to malignant, neoplastic, or cancerous solid tumors. Solid tumor cancers include, but are not limited to, sarcomas, carcinomas, and lymphomas, such as cancers of the lung, breast, prostate, colon, rectum, and bladder. The tissue structure of solid tumors includes interdependent tissue compartments including the parenchyma (cancer cells) and the supporting stromal cells in which the cancer cells are dispersed and which may provide a supporting microenvironment.

[00425] The term "microenvironment," as used herein, may refer to the tumor microenvironment as a whole or to an individual subset of cells within the

microenvironment.

[00573] Step 1 : A solution of dibenzylamine (10.2 g) in dichloromethane (30 mL) is dripped into a solution of 4,6-dichloro-5-nitropyrimidine (10 g) in dichloromethane (70 mL) on an ice bath. Then triethylamine (14.4 niL) is added, and the mixture is stirred for 1 hour. Water is added to the reaction mixture, the organic layer is washed with a saturated aqueous sodium chloride solution and dried over anhydrous sodium sulfate, and the solvent is concentrated under reduced pressure to obtain N,N-dibenzyl-6-chloro-5- nitropyrimidine-4-amine (19.2 g).

[00574] Step 2: The compound prepared in Step 1 (19 g) and tert-butyl (3R)-3- aminopyrrolidine-l-carboxylate (10.5 g) are dissolved in dioxane (58 mL). Triethylamine (8.1 mL) is added, and the mixture is stirred for 5 hours at 50° C. The reaction mixture is returned to room temperature, the solvent is distilled off, water is added, and extraction is performed with ethyl acetate. The organic layer is washed with saturated aqueous sodium chloride solution, then dried over anhydrous sodium sulfate, and the solvent is distilled off. The residue is purified by silica gel column chromatography to obtain tert- butyl (3i?)-3 - { [6-(dibenzylamino)-5-nitropyrimidin-4-yl]amino} pyrrolid- ine- 1 - carboxylate (27.0 g).

[00709] Ruxolitinib may be prepared according to the procedures given in the references above, or by the procedure of Example 67 of U.S. Patent No. 7598257, the disclosure of which is specifically incorporated by reference herein. Briefly, the preparation is as follows:

[00710] Step 1. (2E)- and (2Z)-3-Cyclopentylacrylonitrile. To a solution of 1.0 M potassium tert-butoxide in THF (235 mL) at 0° C. was added dropwise a solution of diethyl cyanomethylphosphonate (39.9 mL, 0.246 mol) in TBF (300 mL). The cold bath was removed and the reaction was warmed to room temperature followed by recooling to 0° C, at which time a solution of cyclopentanecarbaldehyde (22.0 g, 0.224 mol) in THF (60 mL) was added dropwise. The bath was removed and the reaction warmed to ambient temperature and stirred for 64 hours. The mixture was partitioned between diethyl ether and water, the aqueous was extracted with three portions of ether, followed by two portions of ethyl acetate. The combined extracts were washed with brine, then dried over sodium sulfate, filtered and concentrated in vacuo to afford a mixture containing 24.4 g of olefin isomers which was used without further purification (89%). 1H NMR (400 MHz, CDC13): δ 6.69 (dd, 1H, trans olefin), 6.37 (t, 1H, cis olefin), 5.29 (dd, 1H, trans olefin), 5.20 (d, 1H, cis olefin), 3.07-2.95 (m, 1H, cis product), 2.64-2.52 (m, 1H, trans product), 1.98-1.26 (m, 16H). [00711] Step 2. (3R)- and (3^)-3-Cyclopentyl-3-[4-(7-[2-(trimethylsilyl)ethoxy]methyl- 7H-pyrrolo[2,3-<fJ-pyrimidin-4-yl)-lH-pyrazol-l-yl]propanenitrile. To a solution of 4- (lH-pyrazol-4-yl)-7-[2-(trimethylsilyl)ethoxy]methyl-7H-pyrrolo[2,3-d]-pyrimidine (15.0 g, 0.0476 mol) in ACN (300 mL) was added 3-cyclopentylacrylonitrile (15 g, 0.12 mol) (as a mixture of cis and trans isomers), followed by DBU (15 mL, 0.10 mol). The resulting mixture was stirred at room temperature overnight. The ACN was evaporated. The mixture was diluted with ethyl acetate, and the solution was washed with 1.0 N HQ. The aqueous layer was back- extracted with three portions of ethyl acetate. The combined organic extracts were washed with brine, dried over sodium sulfate, filtered and concentrated. The crude product was purified by silica gel chromatography (gradient of ethyl acetate/hexanes) to yield a viscous clear syrup, which was dissolved in ethanol and evaporated several times to remove ethyl acetate, to afford 19.4 g of racemic adduct (93%). The enantiomers were separated by preparative-HPLC, (OD-H column, 15% ethanol/hexanes) and used separately in the next step to generate their corresponding final product. The final products (see Step 3) stemming from each of the separated

enantiomers were found to be active JAK inhibitors; however, the final product stemming from the second peak to elute from the preparative-HPLC was more active than its enantiomer. The products may be isolated by preparative HPLC or other means known to those of skill in the art for use in Step 3 below. 1H NMR (300 MHz, CDC13): δ 8.85 (s, 1H), 8.32 (s, 2H), 7.39 (d, 1H), 6.80 (d, 1H), 5.68 (s, 2H), 4.26 (dt, 1H), 3.54 (t, 2H), 3.14 (dd, 1H), 2.95 (dd, 1H), 2.67-2.50 (m, 1H), 2.03-1.88 (m, 1H), 1.80-1.15 (m, 7H), 0.92 (t, 2H), -0.06 (s, 9H); MS(ES): 437 (M+l).

[00712] Step 3. To a solution of 3-cyclopentyl-3-[4-(7-[2- (trimethylsilyl)ethoxy]methyl-7H-pyrrolo[2,3-d]-pyrimidin-4-yl)-lH-pyrazol-l- yl]propanenitrile (6.5 g, 0.015 mol, R or S enantiomer as isolated above) in DCM (40 mL) was added TFA (16 mL) and this was stirred for 6 hours. The solvent and TFA were removed in vacuo. The residue was dissolved in DCM and concentrated using a rotary evaporator two further times to remove as much as possible of the TFA. Following this, the residue was stirred with ethylenediamine (4 mL, 0.06 mol) in methanol (30 mL) overnight. The solvent was removed in vacuo, water was added and the product was extracted into three portions of ethyl acetate. The combined extracts were washed with brine, dried over sodium sulfate, decanted and concentrated to afford the crude product which was purified by flash column chromatography (eluting with a gradient of methanol/DCM). The resulting mixture was further purified by preparative-HPLC/MS (CI 8 eluting with a gradient of ACN/H20 containing 0.15% NH40H) to afford product (2.68 g, 58%). 1H NMR (400 MHz, D6-dmso): δ 12.11 (br s, 1H), 8.80 (s, 1H), 8.67 (s, 1H), 8.37 (s, 1H), 7.60 (d, 1H), 6.98 (d, 1H), 4.53 (dt, 1H), 3.27 (dd, 1H), 3.19 (dd, 1H), 2.48-2.36 (m, 1H), 1.86-1.76 (m, 1H), 1.68-1.13 (m, 7H); MS(ES): 307 (M+l).

For example, a crystalline phosphoric acid salt of (i?)-3- (4-(7H-pyrrolo[2,3-<fJpyrimidin-4-yl)-lH-pyrazol-l-yl)-3-cyclopentylpropanenitrile may be prepared from the free base as follows according to the procedure given in Example 2 of U.S. Patent No. 8,722,693, the disclosure of which is specifically incorporated herein by reference. To a test tube was added (i?)-3-(4-(7H-pyrrolo[2,3-<fjpyrimidin-4-yl)-lH- pyrazol-l-yl)-3-cyclopentylpropanenitrile (153.5 mg) and phosphoric acid (56.6 mg) followed by isopropyl alcohol (IP A) (5.75 mL). The resulting mixture was heated to clear, cooled to room temperature, and then stirred for another 2 hours. The precipitate was collected by filtration and the cake was washed with 0.6 mL of cold IPA. The cake was dried under vacuum to constant weight to provide the final salt product (171.7 mg). The phosphroic acid salt is a 1 : 1 salt by ¹H NMR and crystallinity is confirmed by X-ray powder diffraction (XRPD). Differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) of the produce yields a sharp melting peak at about 198.7° C.

Step A: To a solution of ethyl 4-chloroquinazoline-2-carboxylate (0.6 g, 2.53 mmol) in THF (6 mL) at -40 °C, was added dropwise a 1 M solution of 4- fluorophenylmagnesium bromide in THF (3 mL, 3.0 mmol, 1.2 eq). The mixture was stirred at -40 °C for 4 h. The reaction was quenched by adding 0.5 N HC1 solution (5 mL) and the mixture was extracted with EtOAc (2 x 10 mL). The combined organic layers were washed with brine and dried over MgS0₄. The crude product was purified on a silica gel column using a mixture of EtO Ac-hexanes as eluent. (4-chloroquinazoline-2- yl)(4-fluorophenyl)methanone was obtained as a light yellow solid (440 mg, 60%). 1H NMR (300 MHz, DMSO-d6) δ 7.45-740 (m, 2H), 8.07-8.03 (m, 1H), 8.17-8.13 (m, 2H), 8.23 (m, 2H), 8.42 (d, 1H); LC-MS (ESI) m/z 287 (M+H)⁺.

For example, in an embodiment, the monoclonal antibody includes 5C4 (referred to herein as nivolumab), 17D8, 2D3, 4H1, 4A11, 7D3, and 5F4, described in U.S. Patent No. 8,008,449, the disclosures of which are hereby incorporated by reference. The PD-1 antibodies 17D8, 2D3, 4H1, 5C4, and 4A11, are all directed against human PD-1, bind specifically to PD-1 and do not bind to other members of the CD28 family. The sequences and CDR regions for these antibodies are provided in U.S. Patent No. 8,008,449, in particular Figure 1 through Figure 12; all of which are incorporated by reference herein in their entireties.

[00802] The anti-PD-1 antibody nivolumab may be prepared by the following procedure, as described in U.S. Patent No. 8,008,449. Immunization protocols utilized as antigen both (i) a recombinant fusion protein comprising the extracellular portion of PD-1 and (ii) membrane bound full-length PD-1. Both antigens were generated by recombinant transfection methods in a CHO cell line. Fully human monoclonal antibodies to PD-1 were prepared using the HCo7 strain of HuMab transgenic mice and the KM strain of transgenic transchromosomic mice, each of which express human antibody genes. In each of these mouse strains, the endogenous mouse kappa light chain gene has been homozygously disrupted as described in Chen et al. EMBO J. 1993, 12, 811-820 and the endogenous mouse heavy chain gene has been homozygously disrupted as described in Example 1 of International Patent Publication No. WO 01/09187. Each of these mouse strains carries a human kappa light chain transgene, KCo5, as described in Fishwild, et al. Nat. Biotechnology 1996, 14, 845-851. The HCo7 strain carries the HCo7 human heavy chain transgene as described in U.S. Patent Nos. 5,545,806; 5,625,825; and 5,545,807. The KM strain contains the SC20 transchromosome as described in

International Patent Publication No. WO 02/43478. To generate fully human monoclonal antibodies to PD-1, HuMab mice and KM Mice™ were immunized with purified recombinant PD-1 fusion protein and PD-l-transfected CHO cells as antigen. General immunization schemes for HuMab mice are described in Lonberg, et al. Nature 1994, 368, 856-859; Fishwild, et al. Nat. Biotechnology 1996, 14, 845-851, and International Patent Publication No. WO 98/24884. The mice were 6-16 weeks of age upon the first infusion of antigen. A purified recombinant preparation (5-50 μg) of PD-1 fusion protein antigen and 5-10* 10⁶ cells were used to immunize the HuMab mice and KM Mice™ intraperitonealy, subcutaneously (Sc) or via footpad injection. Transgenic mice were immunized twice with antigen in complete Freund's adjuvant or Ribi adjuvant IP, followed by 3-21 days IP (up to a total of 11 immunizations) with the antigen in incomplete Freund's or Ribi adjuvant. The immune response was monitored by retroorbital bleeds. The plasma was screened by ELISA (as described below), and mice with sufficient titers of anti-PD-1 human immunoglobulin were used for fusions. Mice were boosted intravenously with antigen 3 days before sacrifice and removal of the spleen. Typically, 10-35 fusions for each antigen were performed. Several dozen mice were immunized for each antigen. To select HuMab or KM Mice™ producing antibodies that bound PD-1, sera from immunized mice were tested by ELISA as described by Fishwild, et al. Nat. Biotechnology 1996, 14, 845-851. Briefly, microtiter plates were coated with purified recombinant PD-1 fusion protein from transfected CHO cells at 1-2 μg/ml in PBS, 100 μΕΛνβΙΙβ incubated at 4° C overnight then blocked with 200 μΕΛνβΙΙ of 5% fetal bovine serum in PBS/Tween (0.05%). Dilutions of sera from PD-1- immunized mice were added to each well and incubated for 1 -2 hours at ambient temperature. The plates were washed with PBS/Tween and then incubated with a goat- anti-human IgG polyclonal antibody conjugated with horseradish peroxidase (HRP) for 1 hour at room temperature. After washing, the plates were developed with ABTS substrate (Sigma, A-1888, 0.22 mg/ml) and analyzed by spectrophotometer at OD 415-495. Mice that developed the highest titers of anti-PD-1 antibodies were used for fusions. Fusions were performed as described below and hybridoma supernatants were tested for anti-PD- 1 activity by ELISA. The mouse splenocytes, isolated from the HuMab or KM mice, were fused to a mouse myeloma cell line either using PEG based upon standard protocols or electric field based electrofusion using a Cyto Pulse large chamber cell fusion electroporator (Cyto Pulse Sciences, Inc., Glen Burnie, Md.). The resulting hybridomas were then screened for the production of antigen-specific antibodies. Single cell suspensions of splenocytes from immunized mice were fused to one-fourth the number of SP2/0 nonsecreting mouse myeloma cells (ATCC, CRL 1581) with 50% PEG (Sigma). Cells were plated at approximately 1 x 105/well in flat bottom microtiter plate, followed by about two week incubation in selective medium containing 10% fetal bovine serum, 10% P388D1 (ATCC, CRL ΉΒ-63) conditioned medium, 3-5% ongen (IGEN) in DMEM (Mediatech, CRL 10013, with high glucose, L-glutamine and sodium pyruvate) plus 5 mM HEPES, 0.055 mM 2-mercaptoethanol, 50 mg/ml gentamycin and 1 xHAT (Sigma, CRL P-7185). After 1-2 weeks, cells were cultured in medium in which the HAT was replaced with HT. Individual wells were then screened by ELISA (described above) for human anti-PD-1 monoclonal IgG antibodies. Once extensive hybridoma growth occurred, medium was monitored usually after 10-14 days. The antibody-secreting hybridomas were re lated, screened again and, if still positive for human IgG, anti-PD-1 monoclonal antibodies were subcloned at least twice by limiting dilution. The stable subclones were then cultured in vitro to generate small amounts of antibody in tissue culture medium for further characterization. The antibody nivolumab may be produced in this manner, or by other known means given the disclosure of the amino acid sequences herein.

[00803] In another embodiment, the anti-PD-1 antibody comprises pembrolizumab, which is commercially available from Merck, or antigen-binding fragments, conjugates, or variants thereof. Pembrolizumab is referred to as h409Al 1 in International Patent Publication No. WO 2008/156712 Al, U.S. Patent No. 8,354,509 and U.S. Patent Application Publication Nos. US 2010/0266617 Al, US 2013/0108651 Al, and US 2013/0109843 A2. Pembrolizumab has an immunoglobulin G4, anti-(human protein PDCD1 (programmed cell death 1)) (human-Mus musculus monoclonal heavy chain), disulfide with human-Mus musculus monoclonal light chain, dimer structure. The structure of pembrolizumab may also be described as immunoglobulin G4, anti-(human programmed cell death 1); humanized mouse monoclonal [228-L-proline(H10-S>P)]y4 heavy chain (134-218')-disulfide with humanized mouse monoclonal κ light chain dimer (226-226":229-229")-bisdisulfide. Pembrolizumab is assigned CAS registry number 1374853-91-4 and is also known as lambrolizumab, MK-3475, and SCH-900475. The clinical safety and efficacy of pembrolizumab in various forms of cancer is described in Fuerst, Oncology Times, 2014, 36, 35-36; Robert, et al, Lancet, 2014, 384, 1109-17; and Thomas et al., Exp.

DNA encoding the monoclonal antibodies is readily isolated and sequenced using conventional procedures (e.g., by using oligonucleotide probes that are capable of binding specifically to genes encoding the heavy and light chains of the monoclonal antibodies). The hybridoma cells serve as a preferred source of such DNA. Once isolated, the DNA may be placed into expression vectors, which are then transfected into host cells such as E. coli cells, simian COS cells, Chinese hamster ovary (CHO) cells, myeloma cells, or other suitable cells that do not otherwise produce immunoglobulin protein, to obtain the synthesis of monoclonal antibodies in the recombinant host cells. The details of recombinant production of specific antibodies may be found in the references cited in the foregoing, the disclosures of which are incorporated by reference herein. Monoclonal antibodies that inhibit PD-1 can be prepared by standard molecular biology methods using the sequences provided herein by reverse translation and insertion into appropriate DNA or RNA vectors.

The exact dosage will depend upon the route of administration, the form in which the compound is administered, the gender and age of the subject to be treated, the body weight of the subject to be treated, and the preference and experience of the attending physician.

[00861] Described below are non-limiting pharmaceutical compositions and methods for preparing the same.

Pharmaceutical Compositions for Oral Administration

[00862] In some embodiments, the invention provides a pharmaceutical composition for oral administration containing the combination of a PI3K, JAK-2, PD-1, PD-L1, and/or BTK inhibitor, and a pharmaceutical excipient suitable for oral administration. [00863] In some embodiments, the invention provides a solid pharmaceutical composition for oral administration containing: (i) an effective amount of each of a PI3K, JAK-2, PD-1, PD-L1 , and/or BTK inhibitor in combination and (ii) a pharmaceutical excipient suitable for oral administration. In some embodiments, the composition further contains (iii) an effective amount of a fourth compound.

[00864] In some embodiments, the pharmaceutical composition may be a liquid pharmaceutical composition suitable for oral consumption. Pharmaceutical compositions of the invention suitable for oral administration can be presented as discrete dosage forms, such as capsules, sachets, or tablets, or liquids or aerosol sprays each containing a predetermined amount of an active ingredient as a powder or in granules, a solution, or a suspension in an aqueous or non-aqueous liquid, an oil-in-water emulsion, a water-in-oil liquid emulsion, powders for reconstitution, powders for oral consumptions, bottles (including powders or liquids in a bottle), orally dissolving films, lozenges, pastes, tubes, gums, and packs. Such dosage forms can be prepared by any of the methods of pharmacy, but all methods include the step of bringing the active ingredient(s) into association with the carrier, which constitutes one or more necessary ingredients. In general, the compositions are prepared by uniformly and intimately admixing the active ingredient(s) with liquid carriers or finely divided solid carriers or both, and then, if necessary, shaping the product into the desired presentation. For example, a tablet can be prepared by compression or molding, optionally with one or more accessory ingredients. Compressed tablets can be prepared by compressing in a suitable machine the active ingredient in a free-flowing form such as powder or granules, optionally mixed with an excipient such as, but not limited to, a binder, a lubricant, an inert diluent, and/or a surface active or dispersing agent. Molded tablets can be made by molding in a suitable machine a mixture of the powdered compound moistened with an inert liquid diluent.

[00865] The invention further encompasses anhydrous pharmaceutical compositions and dosage forms since water can facilitate the degradation of some compounds. For example, water may be added (e.g., 5%) in the pharmaceutical arts as a means of simulating long-term storage in order to determine characteristics such as shelf-life or the stability of formulations over time. Anhydrous pharmaceutical compositions and dosage forms of the invention can be prepared using anhydrous or low moisture containing ingredients and low moisture or low humidity conditions. Pharmaceutical compositions and dosage forms of the invention which contain lactose can be made anhydrous if substantial contact with moisture and/or humidity during manufacturing, packaging, and/or storage is expected. An anhydrous pharmaceutical composition may be prepared and stored such that its anhydrous nature is maintained. Accordingly, anhydrous compositions may be packaged using materials known to prevent exposure to water such that they can be included in suitable formulary kits. Examples of suitable packaging include, but are not limited to, hermetically sealed foils, plastic or the like, unit dose containers, blister packs, and strip packs.

[00866] Each of the PI3K, JAK-2, PD-1, PD-L1, and/or BTK inhibitors as active ingredients can be combined in an intimate admixture with a pharmaceutical carrier according to conventional pharmaceutical compounding techniques. The carrier can take a wide variety of forms depending on the form of preparation desired for administration. In preparing the compositions for an oral dosage form, any of the usual pharmaceutical media can be employed as carriers, such as, for example, water, glycols, oils, alcohols, flavoring agents, preservatives, coloring agents, and the like in the case of oral liquid preparations (such as suspensions, solutions, and elixirs) or aerosols; or carriers such as starches, sugars, micro-crystalline cellulose, diluents, granulating agents, lubricants, binders, and disintegrating agents can be used in the case of oral solid preparations, in some embodiments without employing the use of lactose. For example, suitable carriers include powders, capsules, and tablets, with the solid oral preparations. If desired, tablets can be coated by standard aqueous or nonaqueous techniques.

[00867] Binders suitable for use in pharmaceutical compositions and dosage forms include, but are not limited to, corn starch, potato starch, or other starches, gelatin, natural and synthetic gums such as acacia, sodium alginate, alginic acid, other alginates, powdered tragacanth, guar gum, cellulose and its derivatives (e.g., ethyl cellulose, cellulose acetate, carboxymethyl cellulose calcium, sodium carboxymethyl cellulose), polyvinyl pyrrolidone, methyl cellulose, pre-gelatinized starch, hydroxypropyl methyl cellulose, microcrystalline cellulose, and mixtures thereof.

[00868] Examples of suitable fillers for use in the pharmaceutical compositions and dosage forms disclosed herein include, but are not limited to, talc, calcium carbonate (e.g., granules or powder), microcrystalline cellulose, powdered cellulose, dextrates, kaolin, mannitol, silicic acid, sorbitol, starch, pre-gelatinized starch, and mixtures thereof.

[00869] Disintegrants may be used in the compositions of the invention to provide tablets that disintegrate when exposed to an aqueous environment. Too much of a disintegrant may produce tablets which disintegrate in the bottle. Too little may be insufficient for disintegration to occur, thus altering the rate and extent of release of the active ingredients from the dosage form. Thus, a sufficient amount of disintegrant that is neither too little nor too much to detrimentally alter the release of the active ingredient(s) may be used to form the dosage forms of the compounds disclosed herein. The amount of disintegrant used may vary based upon the type of formulation and mode of administration, and may be readily discernible to those of ordinary skill in the art. About 0.5 to about 15 weight percent of disintegrant, or about 1 to about 5 weight percent of disintegrant, may be used in the pharmaceutical composition. Disintegrants that can be used to form pharmaceutical compositions and dosage forms of the invention include, but are not limited to, agar-agar, alginic acid, calcium carbonate, microcrystalline cellulose, croscarmellose sodium, crospovidone, polacrilin potassium, sodium starch glycolate, potato or tapioca starch, other starches, pre-gelatinized starch, other starches, clays, other algins, other celluloses, gums or mixtures thereof.

[00870] Lubricants which can be used to form pharmaceutical compositions and dosage forms of the invention include, but are not limited to, calcium stearate, magnesium stearate, sodium stearyl fumarate, mineral oil, light mineral oil, glycerin, sorbitol, mannitol, polyethylene glycol, other glycols, stearic acid, sodium lauryl sulfate, talc, hydrogenated vegetable oil (e.g., peanut oil, cottonseed oil, sunflower oil, sesame oil, olive oil, corn oil, and soybean oil), zinc stearate, ethyl oleate, ethylaureate, agar, or mixtures thereof. Additional lubricants include, for example, a syloid silica gel, a coagulated aerosol of synthetic silica, silicified microcrystalline cellulose, or mixtures thereof. A lubricant can optionally be added in an amount of less than about 0.5% or less than about 1% (by weight) of the pharmaceutical composition.

[00871] When aqueous suspensions and/or elixirs are desired for oral administration, the essential active ingredient therein may be combined with various sweetening or flavoring agents, coloring matter or dyes and, if so desired, emulsifying and/or suspending agents, together with such diluents as water, ethanol, propylene glycol, glycerin and various combinations thereof.

[00872] The tablets can be uncoated or coated by known techniques to delay

disintegration and absorption in the gastrointestinal tract and thereby provide a sustained action over a longer period. For example, a time delay material such as glyceryl monostearate or glyceryl distearate can be employed. Formulations for oral use can also be presented as hard gelatin capsules wherein the active ingredient is mixed with an inert solid diluent, for example, calcium carbonate, calcium phosphate or kaolin, or as soft gelatin capsules wherein the active ingredient is mixed with water or an oil medium, for example, peanut oil, liquid paraffin or olive oil.

[00873] Surfactants which can be used to form pharmaceutical compositions and dosage forms of the invention include, but are not limited to, hydrophilic surfactants, lipophilic surfactants, and mixtures thereof. That is, a mixture of hydrophilic surfactants may be employed, a mixture of lipophilic surfactants may be employed, or a mixture of at least one hydrophilic surfactant and at least one lipophilic surfactant may be employed.

[00874] A suitable hydrophilic surfactant may generally have an HLB value of at least 10, while suitable lipophilic surfactants may generally have an HLB value of or less than about 10. An empirical parameter used to characterize the relative hydrophilicity and hydrophobicity of non-ionic amphiphilic compounds is the hydrophilic-lipophilic balance ("HLB" value). Surfactants with lower HLB values are more lipophilic or hydrophobic, and have greater solubility in oils, while surfactants with higher HLB values are more hydrophilic, and have greater solubility in aqueous solutions. Hydrophilic surfactants are generally considered to be those compounds having an HLB value greater than about 10, as well as anionic, cationic, or zwitterionic compounds for which the HLB scale is not generally applicable. Similarly, lipophilic (i.e., hydrophobic) surfactants are compounds having an HLB value equal to or less than about 10. However, HLB value of a surfactant is merely a rough guide generally used to enable formulation of industrial,

pharmaceutical and cosmetic emulsions. [00875] Hydrophilic surfactants may be either ionic or non-ionic. Suitable ionic surfactants include, but are not limited to, alkylammonium salts; fusidic acid salts; fatty acid derivatives of amino acids, oligopeptides, and polypeptides; glyceride derivatives of amino acids, oligopeptides, and polypeptides; lecithins and hydrogenated lecithins;

The polyol may be glycerol, ethylene glycol, polyethylene glycol, sorbitol, propylene glycol, pentaerythritol, or a saccharide.

[00881] In an embodiment, the composition may include a solubilizer to ensure good solubilization and/or dissolution of the compound of the present invention and to minimize precipitation of the compound of the present invention. This can be especially important for compositions for non-oral use - e.g., compositions for injection. A solubilizer may also be added to increase the solubility of the hydrophilic drug and/or other components, such as surfactants, or to maintain the composition as a stable or homogeneous solution or dispersion.

[00882] Examples of suitable solubilizers include, but are not limited to, the following: alcohols and polyols, such as ethanol, isopropanol, butanol, benzyl alcohol, ethylene glycol, propylene glycol, butanediols and isomers thereof, glycerol, pentaerythritol, sorbitol, mannitol, transcutol, dimethyl isosorbide, polyethylene glycol, polypropylene glycol, polyvinylalcohol, hydroxypropyl methylcellulose and other cellulose derivatives, cyclodextrins and cyclodextrin derivatives; ethers of polyethylene glycols having an average molecular weight of about 200 to about 6000, such as tetrahydrofurfuryl alcohol PEG ether (glycofurol) or methoxy PEG; amides and other nitrogen-containing compounds such as 2-pyrrolidone, 2-piperidone, £-caprolactam, N-alkylpyrrolidone, N- hydroxyalkylpyrrolidone, N-alkylpiperidone, N-alkylcaprolactam, dimethylacetamide and polyvinylpyrrolidone; esters such as ethyl propionate, tributylcitrate, acetyl triethylcitrate, acetyl tributyl citrate, triethylcitrate, ethyl oleate, ethyl caprylate, ethyl butyrate, triacetin, propylene glycol monoacetate, propylene glycol diacetate, .epsilon.- caprolactone and isomers thereof, δ-valerolactone and isomers thereof, β-butyrolactone and isomers thereof; and other solubilizers known in the art, such as dimethyl acetamide, dimethyl isosorbide, N-methyl pyrrolidones, monooctanoin, diethylene glycol monoethyl ether, and water.

Particularly preferred solubilizers include sorbitol, glycerol, triacetin, ethyl alcohol, PEG-400, glycofurol and propylene glycol.

[00884] The amount of solubilizer that can be included is not particularly limited. The amount of a given solubilizer may be limited to a bioacceptable amount, which may be readily determined by one of skill in the art. In some circumstances, it may be advantageous to include amounts of solubilizers far in excess of bioacceptable amounts, for example to maximize the concentration of the drug, with excess solubilizer removed prior to providing the composition to a patient using conventional techniques, such as distillation or evaporation. Thus, if present, the solubilizer can be in a weight ratio of 10%, 25%, 50%, 100%, or up to about 200% by weight, based on the combined weight of the drug, and other excipients. If desired, very small amounts of solubilizer may also be used, such as 5%, 2%, 1% or even less. Typically, the solubilizer may be present in an amount of about 1% to about 100%, more typically about 5% to about 25% by weight.

[00885] The composition can further include one or more pharmaceutically acceptable additives and excipients. Such additives and excipients include, without limitation, detackifiers, anti-foaming agents, buffering agents, polymers, antioxidants, preservatives, chelating agents, viscomodulators, tonicifiers, flavorants, colorants, odorants, opacifiers, suspending agents, binders, fillers, plasticizers, lubricants, and mixtures thereof.

[00886] In addition, an acid or a base may be incorporated into the composition to facilitate processing, to enhance stability, or for other reasons. Examples of

pharmaceutically acceptable bases include amino acids, amino acid esters, ammonium hydroxide, potassium hydroxide, sodium hydroxide, sodium hydrogen carbonate, aluminum hydroxide, calcium carbonate, magnesium hydroxide, magnesium aluminum silicate, synthetic aluminum silicate, synthetic hydrocalcite, magnesium aluminum hydroxide, diisopropylethylamine, ethanolamine, ethylenediamine, triethanolamine, triethylamine, triisopropanolamine, trimethylamine, tris(hydroxymethyl)aminomethane (TRIS) and the like.

[00889] The forms in which the compositions of the present invention may be incorporated for administration by injection include aqueous or oil suspensions, or emulsions, with sesame oil, corn oil, cottonseed oil, or peanut oil, as well as elixirs, mannitol, dextrose, or a sterile aqueous solution, and similar pharmaceutical vehicles.

[00890] Aqueous solutions in saline are also conventionally used for injection. Ethanol, glycerol, propylene glycol and liquid polyethylene glycol (and suitable mixtures thereof), cyclodextrin derivatives, and vegetable oils may also be employed. The proper fluidity can be maintained, for example, by the use of a coating, such as lecithin, for the maintenance of the required particle size in the case of dispersion and by the use of surfactants. The prevention of the action of microorganisms can be brought about by various antibacterial and antifungal agents, for example, parabens, chlorobutanol, phenol, sorbic acid and thimerosal.

[00891] Sterile injectable solutions are prepared by incorporating the combination of the PI3K, PD-1, and/or BTK inhibitors in the required amounts in the appropriate solvent with various other ingredients as enumerated above, as required, followed by filtered sterilization. Generally, dispersions are prepared by incorporating the various sterilized active ingredients into a sterile vehicle which contains the basic dispersion medium and the required other ingredients from those enumerated above. In the case of sterile powders for the preparation of sterile injectable solutions, certain desirable methods of preparation are spray-drying, vacuum-drying and freeze-drying (lyophilization) techniques which yield a powder of the active ingredient plus any additional desired ingredient from a previously sterile-filtered solution thereof. Other lyophilized or spray- dried antibody formulations known to those of skill in the art may also be employed with the present invention. Such formulations include those disclosed in U.S. Patent Nos. 5,908,826, 6,267,958, 7,682,609, 7,592,004, and 8,298,530, and U.S. Patent Application Publication No. 2010/0158925, the teachings of which are specifically incorporated by reference herein.

Pharmaceutical Compositions for Topical Delivery

[00892] In some embodiments, the invention provides a pharmaceutical composition for transdermal delivery containing the combination of the PI3K, JAK-2, PD-1, PD-L1, and/or BTK inhibitors and a pharmaceutical excipient suitable for transdermal delivery.

[00893] Compositions of the present invention can be formulated into preparations in solid, semi-solid, or liquid forms suitable for local or topical administration, such as gels, water soluble jellies, creams, lotions, suspensions, foams, powders, slurries, ointments, solutions, oils, pastes, suppositories, sprays, emulsions, saline solutions,

dimethylsulfoxide (DMSO)-based solutions. In general, carriers with higher densities are capable of providing an area with a prolonged exposure to the active ingredients. In contrast, a solution formulation may provide more immediate exposure of the active ingredient to the chosen area.

[00894] The pharmaceutical compositions also may comprise suitable solid or gel phase carriers or excipients, which are compounds that allow increased penetration of, or assist in the delivery of, therapeutic molecules across the stratum corneum permeability barrier of the skin. There are many of these penetration-enhancing molecules known to those trained in the art of topical formulation. Examples of such carriers and excipients include, but are not limited to, humectants (e.g., urea), glycols (e.g., propylene glycol), alcohols (e.g., ethanol), fatty acids (e.g., oleic acid), surfactants (e.g., isopropyl myristate and sodium lauryl sulfate), pyrrolidones, glycerol monolaurate, sulfoxides, terpenes (e.g., menthol), amines, amides, alkanes, alkanols, water, calcium carbonate, calcium phosphate, various sugars, starches, cellulose derivatives, gelatin, and polymers such as polyethylene glycols.

[00895] Another formulation for use in the methods of the present invention employs transdermal delivery devices ("patches"). Such transdermal patches may be used to provide continuous or discontinuous infusion of the combination of the PI3K, PD-1, and BTK inhibitors in controlled amounts, either with or without another active

pharmaceutical ingredient.

[00896] The construction and use of transdermal patches for the delivery of active pharmaceutical ingredients is well known in the art. See, e.g., U.S. Patent Nos.

5,023,252; 4,992,445 and 5,001,139. Such patches may be constructed for continuous, pulsatile, or on demand delivery of active pharmaceutical ingredients.

Other Pharmaceutical Compositions [00897] Pharmaceutical compositions may also be prepared from compositions described herein and one or more pharmaceutically acceptable excipients suitable for sublingual, buccal, rectal, intraosseous, intraocular, intranasal, epidural, or intraspinal administration. Preparations for such pharmaceutical compositions are well-known in the art. See, e.g., Anderson, et ah, Handbook of Clinical Drug Data, Tenth Edition,

McGraw-Hill, 2002; and Pratt and Taylor, eds., Principles of Drug Action, Third Edition, Churchill Livingston, N.Y., 1990, each of which is incorporated by reference herein in its entirety.

[00898] Administration of the combination of the PI3K, JAK-2, PD-1, PD-L1, and BTK inhibitors or pharmaceutical composition of these compounds can be effected by any method that enables delivery of the compounds to the site of action. These methods include oral routes, intraduodenal routes, parenteral injection (including intravenous, intraarterial, subcutaneous, intramuscular, intravascular, intraperitoneal or infusion), topical {e.g., transdermal application), rectal administration, via local delivery by catheter or stent or through inhalation. The combination of compounds can also be administered intraadiposally or intrathecally.

[00899] Parenteral administration forms include solutions or suspensions of active compound in sterile aqueous solutions, for example, aqueous propylene glycol or dextrose solutions. Such dosage forms can be suitably buffered, if desired.

[00900] The invention also provides kits. The kits include each of the PI3K, PD-1, and BTK inhibitors, either alone or in combination in suitable packaging, and written material that can include instructions for use, discussion of clinical studies and listing of side effects. Such kits may also include information, such as scientific literature references, package insert materials, clinical trial results, and/or summaries of these and the like, which indicate or establish the activities and/or advantages of the composition, and/or which describe dosing, administration, side effects, drug interactions, or other information useful to the health care provider. Such information may be based on the results of various studies, for example, studies using experimental animals involving in vivo models and studies based on human clinical trials. The kit may further contain another active pharmaceutical ingredient. In some embodiments, the PI3K, PD-1, and BTK inhibitors and the active pharmaceutical ingredient are provided as separate compositions in separate containers within the kit. In some embodiments, the PI3K, PD- 1, and BTK inhibitors and the active pharmaceutical ingredient are provided as a single composition within a container in the kit. Suitable packaging and additional articles for use (e.g., measuring cup for liquid preparations, foil wrapping to minimize exposure to air, and the like) are known in the art and may be included in the kit. Kits described herein can be provided, marketed and/or promoted to health providers, including physicians, nurses, pharmacists, formulary officials, and the like. Kits may also, in some embodiments, be marketed directly to the consumer.

Dosages and Dosing Regimens

[00901] The amounts of the combination of the BTK, PI3K, PD-1 , PD-Ll, and/or JAK-2 inhibitors administered will be dependent on the mammal being treated, the severity of the disorder or condition, the rate of administration, the disposition of the compounds and the discretion of the prescribing physician.

EXAMPLES

[00970] The embodiments encompassed herein are now described with reference to the following examples. These examples are provided for the purpose of illustration only and the disclosure encompassed herein should in no way be construed as being limited to these examples, but rather should be construed to encompass any and all variations which become evident as a result of the teachings provided herein.

Example 1 - Synergistic Combination of a BTK Inhibitor and a PI3K-5 Inhibitor

[00971] Ficoll purified mantle cell lymphoma (MCL) cells (2*10⁵) isolated from bone marrow or peripheral blood were treated with each drug alone and with six equimolar concentrations of a BTK inhibitor (Formula (XVTII)) and a PI3K-5 inhibitor (Formula (IX)) ranging from 0.01 nM to 10 μΜ on 96- well plates in triplicate. Plated cells were then cultured in HS-5 conditioned media at 37 °C with 5% C0₂. After 72 hours of culture, cell viability was determined using an (3-(4,5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-5-(3- carboxymethoxyphenyl)-2-(4-sulfophenyl)-2H-tetrazolium) (MTS) assay (Cell Titer 96, Promega). Viability data were used to generate cell viability curves for each drug alone and in combination for each sample. The potential synergy of the combination of the BTK inhibitor of Formula (XVIII) and the PI3K-5 inhibitor of Formula (IX) at a given equimolar concentration was determined using the median effect model as described in Chou and Talalay, Quantitative analysis of dose-effect relationships: the combined effects of multiple drugs or enzyme inhibitors. Adv Enzyme Regul. 1984, 22, 27-55. The statistical modeling was run in R using a script that utilizes the median effect model as described in Lee, et ah, Interaction index and different methods for determining drug interaction in combination therapy. J. Biopharm. Stat. 2007, 17, 461-80. A value of 1, less than 1, and greater than 1 using R defines an additive interaction, a synergistic interaction, and an antagonistic interaction, respectively. The Lee, et ah, method calculates a 95% confidence interval for each data point. For each viability curve, to be considered synergistic, a data point must have an interaction index below 1 and the upper confidence interval must also be below 1. In order to summarize and demonstrate collective synergy results, an interaction dot blot was generated for the primary patient samples.

[00972] A similar approach was utilized to study diffuse large B cell lymphoma (DLBCL) (TMD8) and MCL (MINO) cell lines. Cells were treated with each drug alone and with six equimolar concentrations of the BTK inhibitor of Formula (XVIII) and the PI3K-5 inhibitor of Formula (IX) ranging from 0.003 nM to 1.0 μΜ (for TMD8) or 0.03 nM to 10 μΜ (for MINO) on 96-well plates in triplicate. Plated cells were then cultured in standard conditioned media plus FBS at 37°C with 5% C0₂. After 72 hours of culture, viability was determined using an MTS assay (Cell Titer 96, Pr omega). Viability data were used to generate cell viability curves for each drug alone and in combination for each sample. The results of the experiments described in this example are shown in FIGS 1, 2, 3, and 4.

Example 2 - Synergistic Combination of a BTK Inhibitor and a PI3K-5 Inhibitor

[00973] Combination experiments were performed to determine the synergistic, additive, or antagonistic behavior of drug combinations using the Chou/Talalay method/algorithm by defining combination indexes for drug combinations. Information about experimental design for evaluation of synergy is described in, e.g., Chou and Talalay P. Quantitative analysis of dose-effect relationships: the combined effects of multiple drugs or enzyme inhibitors. Adv. Enzyme Regul. 1984, 22, 27-55 and more generally in, e.g., Greco, et ah, The search for synergy: a critical review from a response surface perspective. Pharmacol. Rev. 1995, 47, 331-385. The study was performed using the BTK inhibitor of Formula (XVIII) and the PI3K-5 inhibitor of Formula (IX). Single active pharmaceutical ingredient activities were first determined in the various cell lines and subsequently, the combination indexes were established using equimolar ratios taking the single active pharmaceutical ingredient drug EC50s into consideration. For individual active pharmaceutical ingredients that displayed no single active

pharmaceutical ingredient activity, equimolar ratios were used at fixed concentrations to establish combination indexes. The readout from 72 hour proliferation assays using Cell TiterGlo (ATP content of remaining cells) determined the fraction of cells that were effected as compared to untreated cells (Fa = fraction affected = (1- ((cells + inhibitor) - background signal) / ((cells + DMSO) - background signal)).

[00974] The combination index obtained was ranked according to Table 4.

TABLE 4. Combination Index (CI) Ranking Scheme

[00975] The detailed results of the cell line studies for the BTK inhibitor of Formula (XVIII) and the PI3K-5 inhibitor of Formula (IX) are given in FIG. 5 to FIG. 37. The results of the cell line studies are summarized in Table 5.

TABLE 5. Summary of results of the combination of a BTK inhibitor with a PI3K-5 inhibitor (S = synergistic, A = additive, X = no effect).

Example 3 - Synergistic Combination of a BTK Inhibitor and the JAK-2 Inhibitor Ruxolitinib

[00976] Combination experiments were performed to determine the synergistic, additive, or antagonistic behavior of drug combinations using the methods described above in Example 2. The study was performed using the BTK inhibitor of Formula (XVIII) and the JAK-2 inhibitor of Formula XXX (ruxolitinib).

[00977] The detailed results of the cell line studies for the BTK inhibitor of Formula (XVIII) and the JAK-2 inhibitor of Formula XXX (ruxolitinib) are given in FIG. 38 to FIG. 65. The results of the cell line studies are summarized in Table 6.

Example 4 - Synergistic Combination of a BTK Inhibitor and the JAK-2 Inhibitor Pacritinib

[00978] Combination experiments were performed to determine the synergistic, additive, or antagonistic behavior of drug combinations using the methods described above in Example 2. The study was performed using the BTK inhibitor of Formula (XVIII) and the JAK-2 inhibitor of Formula LIV (pacritinib).

[00979] The detailed results of the cell line studies for the BTK inhibitor of Formula (XVTII) and the JAK-2 inhibitor of Formula LIV (pacritinib) are given in FIG. 66 to FIG. 94. The results of the cell line studies are summarized in Table 7.

Example 5 - Synergistic Combination of a BTK Inhibitor and a a-PD-Ll Inhibitor in the CT26 Colorectal Cancer Model

[00980] The CT26 (colon tumor #26) syngeneic mouse colorectal model was used to investigate the therapeutic efficacy of the combination of the BTK inhibitor of Formula (XVIII) and an anti-PD-Ll monoclonal antibody (BioXcell InVivoMAb anti-m-PD-Ll, clone 10F.9G2). A syngeneic mouse colorectal model bears a tumor derived from the species of origin and allows for study of potential treatments in a human surrogate model with a functional immune system. CT cells were developed in 1975 by exposing Balb/c mice to N-nitroso-N-methylurethane, which lead to a rapid-growing grade IV carcinoma that may be readily implanted and easily metastasizes, as described in: Griswold et al., Cancer 1975, 36, 2441-2444. Further details of the CT26 syngeneic mouse colorectal model may be found in: Castle, et ah, BMC Genomics, 2013, 15, 190; Endo, et ah, Cancer Gene Therapy, 2002, 9, 142-148; Roth et al., Adv. Immunol. 1994, 57, 281-351 ; Fearon, et al, Cancer Res. 1988, 48, 2975-2980. CT26 cells share many molecular features with human cells and thus represent a model for aggressive, undifferentiated, refractory human colorectal carcinoma cells.

[00981] Tumor cells were cultured in complete Roswell Park Memorial Institute 1640 medium (cRPMI; Invitrogen) containing 10% fetal bovine serum (FBS; Thermo

Scientific), 100 U/mL penicillin (Invitrogen), 100 μg/mL streptomycin (Invitrogen), and 50 μΜ 2-mercaptoethanol (2 -ME) (Sigma- Aldrich). Tumor cells were implanted into mice while in the exponential growth phase (below 1.5 x 10⁶ cells/mL). Six to eight week old female Babl/c mice were inoculated with 5 ^χ 10⁶ CT26 cells by subcutaneous injection into the right and left sides of their abdomen. Tumor growth was monitored with a digital caliper every 2 to 3 days and expressed as volume (length ^χ width ^χ height). The dosing scheme used with the Balb/c mice in the CT26 syngeneic mouse colorectal model is shown in FIG. 95.

[00982] FIG. 96 illustrates the effect of the vehicle on tumor volume, wherein tumor volumes (in mm³) are observed to steadily increase in all nine animals used in the study over 15 days after innoculation. All nine animals showed tumor volumes that were greater than 1500 mm³ after 14 days. FIG. 97 illustrates the effect of treatment with an a- PD-L1 inhibitor (BioXcell InVivoMAb anti-m-PD-Ll, Clone 10F.9G2) on tumor volume. Compared to FIG. 96, FIG. 97 shows that two of nine animals maintained tumor sizes of less than 500 mm while one of nine showed regression. FIG. 98 illustrates the effect of treatment with a-PD-Ll inhibitor (BioXcell InVivoMAb anti-m- PD-Ll, Clone 10F.9G2) in combination with treatment with the BTK inhibitor of Formula (XVIII) on tumor volume. Compared to FIG. 96 and FIG. 97, FIG. 98 shows that six of nine animals maintained tumor sizes of less than 500 mm³ while six of nine animals also showed tumor regression.

[00983] Overall, tumor volumes were reduced much more significantly in mice receiving the combination when compared to anti-PD-Ll treatment alone. The combination with the BTK inhibitor of Formula (XVIII) resulted in a 66.6% tumor regression rate as compared to 11.1% in mice treated with antibody alone.

[00984] FIG. 99 illustrates additional synergistic effects of an a-PD-Ll antibody (BioXcell InVivoMAb anti-m-PD-Ll, clone 10F.9G2) in combination with the BTK inhibitor of Formula (XVIII) as measured through modulation of circulating immature myeloid cells (myeloid-derived suppressor cells, or MDSCs) in a syngeneic CT26 colon cancer model in mice. The results show that BTK inhibition leads to modulation of circulating immature myeloid cells, which can limit the activity of PD-1 and PD-1L antibodies. The results further illustrate that BTK inhibition effects on the tumor microenvironment are synergistic when combined with an a-PD-lL inhibitor.

Example 6 - BTK Inhibitory Effects on Solid Tumor Microenvironment in the ID8 Ovarian Cancer Model

[00985] The ID8 syngeneic orthotropic ovarian cancer murine model was used to investigate the therapeutic efficacy of the BTK inhibitor of Formula (XVIII) through treatment of the solid tumor microenvironment. Human ovarian cancer models, including the ID8 syngeneic orthotropic ovarian cancer model and other animal models, are described in Fong and Kakar, J. Ovarian Res. 2009, 2, 12; Greenaway, et al., Gynecol. Oncol. 2008, 108, 385-94; Urzua, et al, Tumour Biol. 2005, 26, 236-44; Janat- Amsbury, et al. , Anticancer Res. 2006, 26, 3223-28; Janat-Amsbury, et ah, Anticancer Res. 2006, 26, 2785-89. Animals were treated with vehicle or Formula (XVIII), 15 mg/kg/BID given orally. The results of the study are shown in FIG. 100, FIG. 101, FIG. 102, FIG. 103, FIG. 104, FIG. 105, FIG. 106, and FIG. 107.

[00986] FIG. 100 and FIG. 101 demonstrate that the BTK inhibitor of Formula (XVIII) impairs ID8 ovarian cancer growth in the ID8 syngeneic murine model. FIG. 102 shows that tumor response to treatment with the BTK inhibitor of Formula (XVIII) correlates with a significant reduction in immunosuppressive tumor-associated lymphocytes in tumor-bearing mice. FIG. 103 shows treatment with the BTK inhibitor of Formula (XVIII) impairs ID8 ovarian cancer growth (through reduction in tumor volume) in the syngeneic murine model. FIG. 104 and FIG. 105 show that the tumor response induced by treatment with the BTK inhibitor of Formula (XVIII) correlates with a significant reduction in immunosuppressive B cells in tumor-bearing mice. FIG. 106 and FIG. 107 show that the tumor response induced by treatment with the BTK inhibitor of Formula (XVIII) correlates with a significant reduction in immunosuppressive tumor associated Tregs and an increase in cytolytic CD8⁺ T cells.

[00987] The results shown in FIG. 100 to FIG. 107 illustrate the surprising efficacy of the BTK inhibitor of Formula (XVIII) in modulating tumor microenvironment in a model predictive of efficacy as a treatment for ovarian cancer in humans.

Example 7 - Synergistic Combination of a BTK Inhibitor and an a-PD-Ll Inhibitor in the ID8 Ovarian Cancer Model

[00988] The ID8 ovarian cancer model of Example 6 was also used to investigate potential synergistic effects between the BTK inhibitor of Formula (XVIII) and an a-PD- Ll inhibitor. Doses of 15 mg/kg BID of Formula (XVIII) and 150 μg of a-PD-Ll antibody (BioXcell InVivoMAb anti-m-PD-Ll, clone 10F.9G2) were used. Each cohort consisted of 12 mice. Every two weeks mice are injected with luciferin, and tumor growth was monitored using the Xenogen system (Caliper Life Sciences, PerkinElmer, Hopkinton, MA, USA). Tumor size was measured by calculated flux.

[00989] Bioluminescence imaging of mice treated with vehicle, Formula (XVIII), alone, an a-PD-Ll inhibitor (BioXcell InVivoMAb anti-m-PD-Ll, clone 10F.9G2), and a combination of Formula (XVIII) and the a-PD-Ll inhibitor are shown in FIG. 108. The imaging results after two weeks of imaging are summarized in FIG. 109. The results show that Formula (XVIII) alone or in combination with an anti-PD-Ll antibody impairs ID8 ovarian cancer growth in a syngeneic murine model. The results also show that the combination of Formula (XVIII) and the a-PD-Ll inhibitor exhibits synergy not obtained through treatment with only Formula (XVIII) or with only the anti-PD-Ll antibody.

Example 8 - Synergistic Combination of a BTK Inhibitor and a PI3K-5 Inhibitor in an Orthotopic Pancreatic Cancer Model and Effects on Solid Tumor Microenvironment

[00990] An orthotopic pancreatic cancer model was used to investigate the therapeutic efficacy of the combination of the BTK inhibitor of Formula (XVIII) and the PI3K-5 inhibitor of Formula (IX) through treatment of the solid tumor microenvironment.

Orthotopic pancreatic cancer models in mice are clinically relevant, benefit from tissue site-specific pathology, and allow for study of metastasis. Qiu and Su, Methods Mol. Biol. 2013, 980, 215-223. A cell line derived from KrasG12D;Trp53R172H;Pdxl-Cre (KPC) mice was orthotopically implanted into the head of the pancreas after 35 passages. Based on the mice background from where the cell lines were generated, 1 xlO⁶ cells were injected in C57BL/6 mice. Throughout the experiment, animals were provided with food and water ad libitum and subjected to a 12-h dark/light cycle. Animal studies were performed in accordance with the U.S. Public Health Service "Guidelines for the Care and Use of Laboratory Animals" (IACUC). After euthanization, pancreatic tumors were dissected out, weighed and single cell suspensions were prepared for flow cytometry analysis.

[00991] Mice were dosed orally with 15 mg/kg of Formula (XVIII), 15 mg/kg of Formula (IX), or a combination of 15 mg/kg of both drugs. Results of the experiments are shown in FIG. 110, which illustrates tumor growth suppression in the orthotopic pancreatic cancer model. The statistical p-value (presumption against null hypothesis) is shown for each tested single active pharmaceutical ingredient and for the combination against the vehicle. The results show that all three treatments provide statistically significant reductions in tumor volume in the pancreatic cancer model.

[00992] Additional results of the experiments relating to treatment of the tumor microenvironment are shown in FIG. 111 to FIG. 113. FIG. I l l shows the effects of oral dosing with 15 mg/kg of the BTK inhibitor of Formula (XVIII), 15 mg/kg of the PI3K inhibitor of Formula (IX), or a combination of both drugs on myeloid tumor-associated macrophages (TAMs) in pancreatic tumor-bearing mice. FIG. 112 illustrates the effects of oral dosing with 15 mg/kg of the BTK inhibitor of Formula (XVIII), 15 mg/kg of the PI3K inhibitor of Formula (IX), or a combination of both inhibitors on myeloid-derived suppressor cells (MDSCs) in pancreatic tumor-bearing mice. FIG. 113 illustrates the effects of oral dosing with 15 mg/kg of the BTK inhibitor of Formula (XVIII), 15 mg/kg of the PI3K inhibitor of Formula (IX), or a combination of both inhibitors on regulatory T cells (Tregs) in pancreatic tumor-bearing mice. The results shown in FIG. 111 to FIG. 113 demonstrate that of the BTK inhibitor of Formula (XVIII) and the combination of the BTK inhibitor of Formula (XVTII) and the PI3K inhibitor of Formula (IX) reduce immunosuppressive tumor associated myeloid cells and Tregs in pancreatic tumor- bearing mice. Overall, BTK inhibition with Formula (XVTII) or a combination of Formula (XVTII) and Formula (IX), significantly reduced tumor burden in an aggressive orthotopic PDA model, decreased immature myeloid infiltrate, reduced the number of tumor associated macrophages, and reduced the number of immunosuppressive Tregs, demonstrating a strong effect on the tumor microenvironment.

Example 9 - Synergistic Combination of a BTK Inhibitor and Gemcitabine in an

Orthotopic Pancreatic Cancer Model and Effects on Solid Tumor Microenvironment

[00993] An additional study using the orthotopic model described in Example 8 was performed to observe potential reduction in tumor burden through modulation of tumor infiltrating MDSCs and TAMs using the BTK inhibitor of Formula (XVIII) in combination with gemcitabine ("Gem"). In this study, KrasG12D;Trp53R172H;Pdxl-

Cre (KPC) derived mouse pancreatic cancer cells (10,000 cells) were injected into the pancreases of 24 female mice. After one week of expansion, drug treatment was started in mice developing pancreatic tumors. Animals were treated with (1) vehicle (N=6); (2)

Formula (XVTII), 15 mg/kg BID given orally (N=6); (3) gemcitabine 15 mg/kg intravenous administered every 4 days for 3 injections (N=6); or (4) Formula (XVTII), 15 mg/kg BID given orally together with gemcitabine, 50 mg/kg intravenous administered every 4 days for 3 injections (N=6). At 2 weeks after initiation of treatment, mice in the vehicle group showed signs of deteriorating health and all groups were euthanized.

[00994] Single cell suspensions from tumor samples were prepared as follows. Mouse tumor tissue was collected and stored in PBS/0.1% soybean trypsin inhibitor prior to enzymatic dissociation. Samples were finely minced with a scissors and mouse tissue was transferred into DMEM containing 1.0 mg/ml collagenase IV (Gibco), 0.1% soybean trypsin inhibitor, and 50 U/ml DNase (Roche) and incubated at 37 °C for 30 minutes with constant stirring while human tissue was digested in 2.0 mg/ml collagenase IV, 1.0 mg/ml hyluronidase, 0.1% soybean trypsin inhibitor, and 50 U/ml DNase for 45 minutes. Suspensions were filtered through a 100 micron filter and washed with FACS buffer (PBS/0.5% BSA/2.0 mM EDTA) prior to staining. Two million total cells were stained with antibodies as indicated. Intracellular detection of FoxP3 was achieved following permeabilization with BD Perm Buffer III (BD Biosciences) and eBioscience Fix/Perm respectively. Following surface staining, samples were acquired on a BD Fortessa and analyzed using FlowJo (Treestar) software.

[00995] Tumors were collected and measured; relative to the vehicle treatment, Formula (XVIII) monotherapy resulted in a 2-fold reduction in tumor growth, results which compared favorably with gemcitabine alone. The combination of Formula (XVIII) and gemcitabine resulted in a further reduction in tumor growth when compared to each single active pharmaceutical ingredient. In FIG. 114, the reduction in tumor size upon treatment is shown. The effects on particular cell subsets are shown in the flow cytometry data presented in FIG. 115, FIG. 116, FIG. 117, and FIG. 118.

[00996] The results shown in FIG. 114 to FIG. 118 illustrate synergistic reduction in tumor burden by modulation of the tumor infiltrating MDSCs and TAMs, which affects Treg and CD8⁺ T cell levels, through inhibition of BTK using Formula (XVIII) and particularly with a synergistic combination of Formula (XVIII) and gemcitabine. The combination of Formula (XVIII) and gemcitabine resulted in a further reduction in tumor growth when compared to each single active pharmaceutical ingredient.

Example 10 - BTK Inhibitory Effects on Solid Tumor Microenvironment in the KPC Pancreatic Cancer Model

[00997] Given the potential for BTK inhibition to affect TAMs and MDSCs, single- active pharmaceutical ingredient Formula (XVIII) was evaluated in mice with advanced pancreatic cancer arising as the result of genetic modifications of oncogenes KRAS and p53, and the pancreatic differentiation promoter PDX-1 (KPC mice). The KPC mouse model recapitulates many of the molecular, histopathologic, and clinical features of human disease (Westphalen and Olive, Cancer J. 2012, 18, 502-510). Combination therapy with gemcitabine was also evaluated in this model. Mice were enrolled after identification of spontaneously appearing tumors in the pancreas that were > 100 mm³ (as assessed by high-resolution ultrasonography). Mice were treated with (1) vehicle (N=6); or (2) Formula (XVIII), 15 mg/kg BID given orally (N=6). [00998] As shown in FIG. 119, treatment with single-active pharmaceutical ingredient Formula (XVIII) substantially slowed pancreatic cancer growth and increased animal survival. With vehicle, tumor volumes predose averaged 152 mm³, and at day 28 averaged 525 mm³. In the cohort treated with Formula (XVIII), tumor volumes predose averaged 165 mm³, and at day 28 averaged 272 mm³, indicating significant improvement. With vehicle, survival at day 14 was 5/6 animals, and at day 28 was 0/6 animals. With Formula (XVIII), survival at day 14 was 6/6 animals, and at day 28 was 5/6 animals.

[00999] Analysis of tumor tissues showed that immunosuppressive TAMs

(CDl lb⁺Ly6ClowF4/80⁺Csflr⁺), MDSCs (Grl⁺LyeCHi), and Tregs

(CD4⁺CD25⁺FoxP3⁺) were significantly reduced with Formula (XVIII) treatment (FIG. 120, FIG. 121, and FIG. 122). As expected, the decrease in these immunosuppressive cell subsets correlated with a significant increase in CD8⁺ cells (FIG. 123).

Example 11 - Study of a BTK Inhibitor and a Combination of a BTK Inhibitor and a PI3K Inhibitor in Canine Lymphoma

[001000] Canine B cell lymphoma exists as a pathological entity that is characterized by large anaplastic, centroblastic or immunoblastic lymphocytes with high proliferative grade, significant peripheral lymphadenopathy and an aggressive clinical course. While some dogs respond initially to prednisone, most canine lymphomas progress quickly and must be treated with combination therapies, including cyclophosphamide, vincristine, doxorubicin, and prednisone (CHOP), or other cytotoxic agents. In their histopathologic features, clinical course, and high relapse rate after initial treatment, canine B cell lymphomas resemble diffuse large B cell lymphoma (DLBCL) in humans. Thus, responses of canine B cell lymphomas to experimental treatments are considered to provide proof of concept for therapeutic candidates in DLBCL.

[001001] In this example, companion dogs with newly diagnosed or relapsed/refractory B cell lymphoma were enrolled on a veterinary clinical trial of the BTK inhibitor of Formula (XVIII) ("Arm 1") or the BTK inhibitor of Formula (XVIII) and the PI3K-5 inhibitor of Formula (IX) ("Arm 2"). Enrollment has completed for both arms. The results show that combined treatment with the BTK inhibitor of Formula (XVIII) and the PI3K-5 inhibitor of Formula (IX) may have greater efficacy than treatment with the BTK inhibitor of Formula (XVIII) alone in aggressive lymphomas. [001002] Twenty-one dogs were treated in Arm 1 with the BTK inhibitor of Formula (XVIII) at dosages of 2.5 mg/kg once daily to 20 mg/kg twice daily. Intra-subject dose escalation was allowed. Six of the 11 dogs that initiated at 2.5 or 5 mg/kg once daily were escalated and completed the study with dosages of 10 mg/kg twice daily. Among all the dose cohorts, 8 dogs had shrinkage of target lesions >20%; the best tumor responses were between 45-49% reduction in the sum of target lesions in two dogs. Complete responses ("CR", disappearance of all evidence of disease per evaluator judgment; and absence of new lesions) were not observed in Arm 1. CR were defined as disappearance of all evidence of disease per evaluator judgment, and absence of new lesions. Vali, et al, Vet. Comp. Oncol. 2010, 8, 28-37.

[001003] In the combination phase of the study (Arm 2), 10 dogs were treated with 10 mg/kg the BTK inhibitor of Formula (XVIII) and the PI3K-5 inhibitor of Formula (IX) at 2.5 or 3.5 mg/kg, on a twice daily schedule. Of these, 7 dogs had shrinkage of target lesions > 20%, providing evidence of biological activity for the combination; four of these dogs achieved a PR. The best tumor responses were between 58-65% reduction in the sum of target lesions, with one sustained CR observed among the 10 dogs treated. The initial reductions in the sum of target lesions continued to deepen during the course of therapy in 7 of the 10 dogs. A summary of the results is presented in Table 8.

TABLE 8. Summary of the results of the canine lymphoma study.

aLD, longest diameter, sum of up to 5 target lesions.

[001004] These data suggest that in companion dogs with naturally occurring B cell lymphomas, treatment with the combination of the BTK inhibitor of Formula (XVIII) and the PI3K-5 inhibitor of Formula (IX) may provide increased biological activity (tumor shrinkage and stable disease) and may possibly lead to deeper responses than treatment with the BTK inhibitor of Formula (XVIII) alone. The higher rate of biological responses and extended response duration (median time to best response), along with the observation of a CR in this aggressive disease setting, provide evidence of synergy between Formula (XVIII) and Formula (IX).

Example 12 - Effects of BTK Inhibitors on Thrombosis

[001005] Clinical studies have shown that targeting the BCR signaling pathway by inhibiting BTK produces significant clinical benefit (Byrd, et ah, N. Engl. J. Med. 2013, 369, 32-42, Wang, et al, N. Engl. J. Med. 2013, 369(6), 507-16). However, in these studies, bleeding has been reported in up to 50% of ibrutinib-treated patients. Most bleeding events were of grade 1-2 (spontaneous bruising or petechiae) but, in 5% of patients, they were of grade 3 or higher after trauma. These results are reflected in the prescribing information for ibrutinib, where bleeding events of any grade, including bruising and petechiae, were reported in approximately half of patients treated with ibrutinib (IMBRUVICA package insert and prescribing information, revised July 2014, U.S. Food and Drug Administration).

[001006] Constitutive or aberrant activation of the BCR signaling cascade has been implicated in the propagation and maintenance of a variety of B cell malignancies. Small molecule inhibitors of BTK, a protein early in this cascade and specifically expressed in B cells, have emerged as a new class of targeted agents. There are several BTK inhibitors, including Formula XXVII (CC-292), and Formula (XX-A) (PCI-32765, ibrutinib), in clinical development. Importantly, early stage clinical trials have found ibrutinib to be particularly active in chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) and mantle cell lymphoma (MCL), suggesting that this class of inhibitors may play a significant role in various types of cancers (Aalipour and Advani, Br. J. Haematol. 2013, 163, 436-43). However, their effects are not limited to leukemia or lymphomas as platelets also rely on the Tec kinases family members BTK and Tec for signal transduction in response to various thrombogenic stimuli (Oda, et ah, Blood 2000, 95(5), 1663-70; Atkinson, et al. Blood 2003, 102(10), 3592-99). In fact, both Tec and BTK play an important role in the regulation of phospholipase Cy2 (PLCy2) downstream of the collagen receptor glycoprotein VI (GPVI) in human platelets. In addition, BTK is activated and undergoes tyrosine phosphorylation upon challenge of the platelet thrombin receptor, which requires the engagement of αΙ¾β3 integrin and PI3K activity (Laffargue, et al., FEBS Lett. 1999, 443(1), 66-70). It has also been implicated in GPIba-dependent thrombus stability at sites of vascular injury (Liu, et al., Blood 2006, 108(8), 2596-603). Thus, BTK and Tec are involved in several processes important in supporting the formation of a stable hemostatic plug, which is critical for preventing significant blood loss in response to vascular injury. Hence, the effects of the BTK inhibitor of Formula (XVIII) and ibrutinib were evaluated on human platelet-mediated thrombosis by utilizing the in vivo human thrombus formation in the VWF HAl mice model described in Chen, et al. Nat.

Biotechnol. 2008, 26(1), 1 14-19.

[001007] Administration of anesthesia, insertion of venous and arterial catheters, fluorescent labeling and administration of human platelets (5 ^χ loVml), and surgical preparation of the cremaster muscle in mice have been previously described (Chen, et al. Nat Biotechnol. 2008, 26(1), 114-19). Injury to the vessel wall of arterioles (-40-65 mm diameter) was performed using a pulsed nitrogen dye laser (440 nm, Photonic

Instruments) applied through a 20 x water-immersion Olympus objective (LUMPlanFl, 0.5 numerical aperature (NA)) of a Zeiss Axiotech vario microscope. Human platelet and wall interactions were visualized by fluorescence microscopy using a system equipped with a Yokogawa CSU-22 spinning disk confocal scanner, iXON EM camera, and 488 nm and 561 nm laser lines to detect BCECF-labeled and rhodamine-labeled platelets, respectively (Revolution XD, Andor Technology). The extent of thrombus formation was assessed for 2 minutes after injury and the area (μπι²) of coverage determined (Image IQ, Andor Technology). For the Formula (XVIII), Formula (XXVII) (CC-292), and Formula (XX- A) (ibrutinib) inhibition studies, the BTK inhibitors were added to purified human platelets for 30 minutes before administration.

[001008] The in vivo thrombus effects of the BTK inhibitors, Formula (XVIII), Formula (XXVII) (CC-292), and Formula (XX- A) (ibrutinib), were evaluated on human platelet- mediated thrombosis by utilizing the in vivo human thrombus formation in the VWF HAl mice model, which has been previously described (Chen, et al. , Nat Biotechnol. 2008, 26(1), 1 14-19). Purified human platelets were preincubated with various concentrations of the BTK inhibitors (0.1 μΜ, 0.5 μΜ, or 1 μΜ) or DMSO and then administered to VWF HA1 mice, followed by laser-induced thrombus formation. The BTK inhibitor- treated human platelets were fluorescently labeled and infused continuously through a catheter inserted into the femoral artery. Their behavior in response to laser-induced vascular injury was monitored in real time using two-channel confocal intravital microscopy (Furie and Furie, J. Clin. Invest. 2005, 115(12), 2255-62). Upon induction of arteriole injury untreated platelets rapidly formed thrombi with an average thrombus size of 6,450 ± 292 mm² (mean ± s.e.m.), as shown in FIG. 124 and FIG. 125. Similarly, Formula (XVTII) (1 μΜ) treated platelets formed a slightly smaller but not significantly different thrombi with an average thrombus size of 5733 ± 393 mm² (mean ± s.e.m.). In contrast, a dramatic reduction in thrombus size occurred in platelets pretreated with 1 μΜ of Formula (XX- A) (ibrutinib), 2600 ± 246 mm² (mean ± s.e.m.), resulting in a reduction in maximal thrombus size by approximately 61% compared with control (P > 0.001 ) (FIG. 124 and FIG. 126). Similar results were obtained with platelets pretreated with 500 riM of Formula (XVTII) or ibrutinib: thrombus size of 5946 ± 283 mm², and 2710 ± 325 mm² respectively. These initial results may provide some mechanic background and explanation on the reported 44% bleeding related adverse event rates in the Phase III RESONATE™ study comparing ibrutinib with ofatumumab. The results obtained for Formula XXVII (CC-292) were similar to that for Formula (XX- A) (ibrutinib), as shown in FIG. 124, 125, and 126. The effect of the BTK inhibitor concentration is shown in FIG. 127. These results demonstrate the surprising advantage of the BTK inhibitor of Formula (XVTII), which does not interfere with thrombus formation, while the BTK inhibitors of Formula XXVII (CC-292) and Formula (XX- A) (ibrutinib) interfere with thrombus formation.

[001009] The objective of this study was to evaluate in vivo thrombus formation in the presence of BTK inhibitors. In vivo testing of novel antiplatelet active pharmaceutical ingredients requires informative biomarkers. By utilizing a genetic modified mouse von Willebrand factor (VWFR1326H) model that supports human but not mouse platelet- mediated thrombosis, we evaluated the effects of Formula (XVTII), Formula XXVTI (CC- 292), and Formula (XX- A) (ibrutinib) on thrombus formation. These results show that Formula (XVTII) had no significant effect on human platelet-mediated thrombus formation while Formula (XX- A) (ibrutinib) was able to limit this process, resulting in a reduction in maximal thrombus size by 61% compared with control. Formula XXVII (CC-292) showed an effect similar to Formula (XX- A) (ibrutinib). These results, which show reduced thrombus formation for ibrutinib at physiologically relevant

concentrations, may provide some mechanistic background for the Grade > 3 bleeding events (e.g., subdural hematoma, gastrointestinal bleeding, hematuria and postprocedural hemorrhage) that have been reported in < 6% of patients treated with Formula (XX- A) (ibrutinib).

[001010] GPVI platelet aggregation was measured for Formula (XVTII) and Formula (XX- A) (ibrutinib). Blood was obtained from untreated humans, and platelets were purified from plasma-rich protein by centrifugation. Cells were resuspended to a final concentration of 350,000/μΕ in buffer containing 145 mmol/L NaCl, 10 mmol/L FIEPES, 0.5 mmol/L Na₂HP0₄, 5 mmol/L KC1, 2 mmol/L MgCl₂, 1 mmol/L CaCl₂, and 0.1% glucose, at pH 7.4. Stock solutions of Convulxin (CVX) GPVI were prepared on the day of experimentation and added to platelet suspensions 5 minutes (37 °C, 1200 rpm) before the induction of aggregation. Aggregation was assessed with a Chronolog Lumi- Aggregometer (model 540 VS; Chronolog, Havertown, PA) and permitted to proceed for 6 minutes after the addition of agonist. The results are reported as maximum percent change in light transmittance from baseline with platelet buffer used as a reference. The results are shown in FIG. 128.

[001011] In FIG. 129, the results of CVX-induced (250 ng/mL) human platelet aggregation results before and 15 minutes after administration of the BTK inhibitors to 6 healthy individuals are shown.

[001012] The results depicted in FIG. 128 and FIG. 129 indicate that the BTK inhibitor of Formula (XX- A) (ibrutinib) significantly inhibits GPVI platelet aggregation, while the BTK inhibitor of Formula (XVTII) does not, further illustrating the surprising benefits of the latter compound.

Example 13 - Effects of BTK Inhibitors on Antibody-Dependent NK Cell Mediated Cytotoxicity using Rituximab

[001013] Rituximab-combination chemotherapy is today's standard of care in CD20⁺ B- cell malignancies. Previous studies investigated and determined that ibrutinib antagonizes rituximab antibody-dependent cell mediated cytotoxicity (ADCC) mediated by NK cells. This may be due to ibrutinib's secondary irreversible binding to interleukin- 2 inducible tyrosine kinase (ITK) which is required for FcR-stimulated NK cell function including calcium mobilization, granule release, and overall ADCC. Kohrt, et ah, Blood 2014, 123, 1957-60.

[001014] In this example, the effects of Formula (XVIII) and ibrutinib on NK cell function were evaluated in primary NK cells from healthy volunteers and CLL patients. The activation of NK cells co-cultured with antibody-coated target cells was strongly inhibited by ibrutinib. The secretion of IFN-γ was reduced by 48% (p = 0.018) and 72% (p = 0.002) in cultures treated with ibrutinib at 0.1 and 1.0 μΜ respectively and NK cell degranulation was significantly (p = 0.002) reduced, compared with control cultures. Formula (XVTII) treatment at 1 μΜ, a clinically relevant concentration, did not inhibit IFN-γ or NK cell degranulation. Rituximab-mediated ADCC was evaluated in NK cells from healthy volunteers as well as assays of NK cells from CLL patients targeting autologous CLL cells. In both cases, ADCC was not inhibited by Formula (XVTII) treatment at 1 μΜ. In contrast, addition of ibrutinib to the ADCC assays strongly inhibited the rituximab-mediated cytotoxicity of target cells, and no increase over natural cytotoxicity was observed at any rituximab concentration. This result indicates that the combination of rituximab and Formula (XVTII) provides an unexpected benefit in the treatment of CLL.

[001015] BTK is a non-receptor enzyme in the Tec kinase family that is expressed among cells of hematopoietic origin, including B cells, myeloid cells, mast cells and platelets, where it regulates multiple cellular processes including proliferation, differentiation, apoptosis, and cell migration. Khan, Immunol Res. 2001, 23, 147-56; Mohamed, et al. , Immunol Rev. 2009, 228, 58-73; Bradshaw, Cell Signal. 2010, 22, 1175-84. Functional null mutations of BTK in humans cause the inherited disease, X linked agammaglobulinemia, which is characterized by a lack of mature peripheral B cells. Vihinen, et al, Front Biosci. 2000, 5, D917-28. Conversely, BTK activation is implicated in the pathogenesis of several B-cell malignancies. Herman, et al, Blood 2011, 117, 6287-96; Kil, et al, Am. J. Blood Res. 2013, 3, 71-83; Tai, et al, Blood 2012, 120, 1877-87; Buggy, and Elias, Int. Rev. Immunol. 2012, 31, 119-32 (Erratum in: Int. Rev. Immunol. 2012, 31, 428). In addition, BTK-dependent activation of mast cells and other immunocytes in peritumoral inflammatory stroma has been shown to sustain the complex microenvironment needed for lymphoid and solid tumor maintenance. Soucek, et al, Neoplasia 2011, 13, 1093-100; Ponader, et al, Blood 2012, 119, 1182-89; de Rooij, et al, Blood 2012, 119, 2590-94. Taken together, these findings have suggested that inhibition of BTK may offer an attractive strategy for treating B-cell neoplasms, other hematologic malignancies, and solid tumors.

[001016] Ibrutinib (PCI-32765, IMBRUVICA), is a first-in-class therapeutic BTK inhibitor. This orally delivered, small-molecule drug is being developed by

Pharmacy clics, Inc. for the therapy of B-cell malignancies. As described above, in patients with heavily pretreated indolent non-Hodgkin lymphoma (iNHL), mantle cell lymphoma (MCL), and CLL, ibrutinib showed substantial antitumor activity, inducing durable regressions of lymphadenopathy and splenomegaly in the majority of patients. Advani, et al, J. Clin. Oncol. 2013, 31, 88-94; Byrd, et al, N. Engl. J. Med. 2013, 369, 32-42; Wang, et al. , N. Engl. J. Med. 2013, 369, 507-16; O'Brien, et al, Blood 2012, 119, 1182-89. The pattern of changes in CLL was notable. Inhibition of BTK with ibrutinib caused rapid and substantial mobilization of malignant CLL cells from tissues sites into the peripheral blood, as described in J. A. Woyach, et al, Blood 2014, 123, 1810-17; this effect was consistent with decreased adherence of CLL to protective stromal cells.

Ponader, et al, Blood 2012, 119, 1182-89; de Rooij, et al, Blood 2012, 119, 2590-94. Ibrutinib has been generally well tolerated. At dose levels associated with total BTK occupancy, not dose-limiting toxicities were identified and subjects found the drug tolerable over periods extending to >2.5 years.

[001017] Given the homology between BTK and interleukin-2 inducible tyrosine kinase (ITK), it has been recently confirmed that ibrutinib irreversibly binds ITK. Dubovsky, et al, Blood 2013, 122, 2539-2549. ITK expression in Fc receptor (FcR)-stimulated NK cells leads to increased calcium mobilization, granule release, and cytotoxicity. Khurana, et al, J. Immunol. 2007, 178, 3575-3582. As rituximab is a backbone of lymphoma therapy, with mechanisms of action including ADCC, as well as direct induction of apoptosis and complement-dependent cytotoxicity and FcR stimulation is requisite for ADCC, we investigated if ibrutinib or Formula (XVTII) (lacking ITK inhibition) influenced rituximab's anti- lymphoma activity in vitro by assessing NK cell IFN-γ secretion, degranulation by CD 107a mobilization, and cytotoxicity by chromium release using CD20⁺ cell lines and autologous patient samples with chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL).

[001018] Formula (XVIII) is a more selective inhibitor than ibrutinib, as shown previously. Formula (XVIII) is not a potent inhibitor of Itk kinase, in contrast to ibrutinib (see Table 9). Itk kinase is required for FcR-stimulated NK cell function including calcium mobilization, granule release, and overall ADCC. As anti-CD20 antibodies like rituximab are standard of care drugs, often as part of combination regimens, for the treatment of CD20+ B-cell malignancies, the potential of ibrutinib or Formula (XVIII) to antagonize ADCC was evaluated in vitro. We hypothesized that Btk inhibitor, Formula (XVIII) which does not have activity against Itk, may preserve NK cell function and therefore synergize rather than antagonize rituximab-mediated ADCC. Rituximab- dependent NK-cell mediated cytotoxicity was assessed using lymphoma cell lines as well as autologous CLL tumor cells.

[001019] Cell culture conditions were as follows. Cell lines Raji and DHL-4 were maintained in RPMI 1630 supplemented with fetal bovine serum, L-glutamine, 2- mercaptoethanol and penicillin-streptomycin at 37 °C in a humidified incubator. The FIERI 8 cells were maintained in DEM supplemented with fetal bovine serum, penicillin- streptomycin and. Prior to assay, FIERI 8 cells were harvested using trypsin-EDTA, washed with phosphate-buffered saline (PBS) containing 5% serum and viable cells were counted. For culture of primary target cells, peripheral blood from CLL patients was subject to density centrifugation to obtain peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMC). Cell preparations were washed and then subject to positive selection of CD5⁺CD19⁺ CLL cells using magnetic beads (MACS, Miltenyi Biotech). Cell preparations were used fresh after selection. NK cells from CLL patients and healthy volunteers were enriched from peripheral blood collected in sodium citrate anti-coagulant tubes and then subject to density centrifugation. Removal of non NK cells was performed using negative selection by MACS separation. Freshly isolated NK cells were washed three times, enumerated, and then used immediately for ADCC assays. [001020] Cytokine secretion was determined as follows. Rituximab and trastuzumab- dependent NK-cell mediated degranulation and cytokine release were assessed using lymphoma and HER2+ breast cancer cell lines (DHL-4 and HER18, respectively).

Target cells were cultured in flat-bottom plates containing 10 μg/mL of rituximab (DHL- 4) or trastuzumab (HER18) and test articles (0.1 or 1 μΜ ibrutinib, 1 μΜ Formula (XVIII), or DMSO vehicle control). NK cells from healthy donors were enriched as described above and then added to the target cells and incubated for 4 hours at 37 °C. Triplicate cultures were performed on NK cells from donors. After incubation, supernatants were harvested, centrifuged briefly, and then analyzed for interferon-γ using an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) (R&D Systems, Minneapolis, MN, USA).

[001021] Lytic granule release was determined as follows. NK cells from healthy donors were enriched and cultured in the presence of target cells, monoclonal antibodies and test articles as described above. After 4 hours, the cultures were harvested and cells were pelleted, washed, and then stained for flow cytometry evaluation. Degranulation was evaluated via by flow cytometery by externalization of CD 107a, a protein normally present on the inner leaflet of lytic granules, and gating on NK cells (CD3-CD16⁺ lymphocytes). The percentage of CD 107a positive NK cells was quantified by comparison with a negative control (isotype control, unstained cells/FMO). Control cultures (NK cells cultured without target cells, or NK, target cell co-cultures in the absence of appropriate monoclonal antibody) were also evaluated; all experiments were performed in triplicate.

[001022] ADCC assays were performed as follows. Briefly, target cells (Raji or primary CLL) were labeled by incubation at 37 °C with 100 μθ ⁵¹Cr for 4 hours prior to co- culture with NK cells. Cells were washed, enumerated, and then added in triplicate to prepared 96-well plates containing treated NK cells at an effector: target (E:T) ratio of 25: 1. Rituximab (Genentech) was added to ADCC wells at concentrations of 0.1, 1.0 or 10 μg/mL and the assays were briefly mixed and then centrifuged to collect cells at the bottom of the wells. The effect of NK cell natural cytotoxicity was assessed in wells containing no rituximab. Cultures were incubated at 37 °C for 4 hours, and then centrifuged. Supernatants were harvested and ⁵¹Cr release was measured by liquid scintillation counting. All experiments were performed in triplicate.

[001023] Ibrutinib inhibited rituximab-induced NK cell cytokine secretion in a dose- dependent manner (0.1 and 1 μΜ) (FIG. 130: 48% p = 0.018; 72% p = 0.002, respectively). At 1 μΜ, Formula (XVIII) did not significantly inhibit cytokine secretion (FIG. 130: 3.5%). Similarly, Formula (XVIII) had no inhibitory effect on rituximab- stimulated NK cell degranulation (< 2%) while ibrutinib reduced degranulation by -50% (p = 0.24, FIG. 131). Formula (XVIII) had no inhibitory effect while ibrutinib prevented trastuzumab- stimulated NK cell cytokine release and degranulation by -92% and -84% at ΙμΜ, respectively (FIG. 130 and FIG. 131 : ***p = 0.004, **p = 0.002).

[001024] In Raji cell samples, ex vivo NK cell activity against autologous tumor cells was not inhibited by addition of Formula (XVIII) at 1 μΜ, and increased cell lysis was observed with increasing concentrations of rituximab at a constant E:T ratio (FIG. 132). A plot highlighting the differences between Formula (XVIII) and ibrutinib at 10 μΜ is shown in FIG. 133. In primary CLL samples, ex vivo NK cell activity against autologous tumor cells was not inhibited by addition of Formula (XVIII) at 1 μΜ, and increased cell lysis was observed with increasing concentrations of rituximab at a constant E:T ratio (FIG. 134). In contrast, addition of 1 μΜ ibrutinib completely inhibited ADCC, with less than 10% cell lysis at any rituximab concentration and no increase in cell lysis in the presence of rituximab, compared with cultures without rituximab. The difference between Formula (XVIII) and ibrutinib was highly significant in this assay (p = 0.001).

[001025] In ADCC assays using healthy donor NK cells, antibody-dependent lysis of rituximab-coated Raji cells was not inhibited by addition of 1 μΜ Formula (XVIII) (FIG. 134). In these experiments, addition of rituximab stimulated a 5- to 8-fold increase in cell lysis at 0.1 and 1 μg/mL, compared with low (< 20%) natural cytotoxicity in the absence of rituximab. As previously reported, addition of 1 μΜ ibrutinib strongly inhibited the antibody-dependent lysis of target cells, with less than 20% cell lysis at all rituximab concentrations and no increase in ADCC with at higher rituximab

concentrations.

[001026] Ibrutinib is clinically effective as monotherapy and in combination with rituximab, despite inhibition of ADCC in vitro and in vivo murine models due to ibrutinib' s secondary irreversible binding to ITK. Preclinically, the efficacy of therapeutics which do not inhibit NK cell function, including Formula (XVIII), is superior to ibrutinib. Clinical investigation is needed to determine the impact of this finding on patients receiving rituximab as these results provide support for the unexpected property of Formula (XVTII) as a better active pharmaceutical ingredient than ibrutinib to use in combination with antibodies that have ADCC as a mechanism of action. The improved performance of Formula (XVTII) in combination with anti-CD20 antibody therapies is expected to extend to its use in combination with PI3K inhibitors and PD-l/PD-Ll inhibitors in both hematological malignancies and solid tumors, as these combinations would also benefit from reduced inhibition of NK cell function.

Example 14 - Synergistic Combinations of a BTK Inhibitor, a PI3K-5 Inhibitor, and an q-PD-Ll Inhibitor in the 4T1 Orthotopic Breast Cancer Model

[001027] The 4T1 mouse breast cancer model was used to investigate the therapeutic efficacy of various combinations of the BTK inhibitor of Formula (XVTII), the BTK inhibitor ibrutinib (Formula (XX- A)), and the PI3K-5 inhibitor of Formula (IX), with an anti-PD-lL monoclonal antibody (aPD-Ll, BioXcell InVivoMAb anti-m-PD-Ll, clone

10F.9G2). This model features a tumor derived from the species of origin and allows for study of potential treatments in a human surrogate model with a functional immune system. The 4T1 mouse breast cancer model is described in Pulaski and Ostrand-

Rosenberg, Curr Protoc Immunol. 2001, Ch. 20, Unit 20.2, and Chen, et al., Mol.

Therapy 2007, 15, 2194-202. The 4T1 model is an accepted experimental animal model for human breast cancer for at least two reasons: tumor cells are transplanted into the mammary gland so that the primary tumor grows in the correct anatomical location, and metastatic disease in this model develops spontaneously from the primary tumor. Also, the progressive spread of 4T1 metastases to lymph nodes and other organs occurs in a similar manner to the stages observed in human mammary cancer. This model also shares many molecular features with human disease and thus represents a model for advanced, resistant human breast cancers, including those resistant to 6-thioguanine and those refractory to most treatments based on stimulation of the immune system.

[001028] The treatment schema included the following arms: (1) IgG only; (2) the BTK inhibitor of Formula (XVTII) at 15 mg/kg, BID, on days 6 to 20; (3) the PI3K-5 inhibitor of Formula (IX) at 15 mg/kg, BID, on days 6 to 20; (4) the BTK inhibitor of Formula (XVIII) and the PI3K inhibitor of Formula (IX) each at 15 mg/kg, BID, on days 6 to 20; (5) the BTK inhibitor ibrutinib at 6 mg/kg, QD, on days 6 to 20; (6) a-PD-Ll antibody at 150 μg, on days 6, 9, 12, 15, and 18; (7) the BTK inhibitor of Formula (XVIII) at 15 mg/kg, BID, on days 6 to 20, combined with a-PD-Ll antibody at 150 μg, on days 6, 9, 12, 15, and 18; (8) the PI3K-5 inhibitor of Formula (IX) at 15 mg/kg, BID, on days 6 to 20, combined with a-PD-Ll antibody at 150 μg, on days 6, 9, 12, 15, and 18; (9) the PI3K-5 inhibitor ibrutinib at 6 mg/kg, QD, on days 6 to 20, combined with a-PD-Ll antibody at 150 μg, on days 6, 9, 12, 15, and 18; and (10) the BTK inhibitor of Formula (XVIII) and the PI3K inhibitor of Formula (IX) each at 15 mg/kg, BID, on days 6 to 20, further combined with a-PD-Ll antibody at 150 μg, on days 6, 9, 12, 15, and 18. The overall treatment and dosing schema used for the a-PD-Ll inhibitor in combination with the BTK inhibitor of Formula (XVIII), the PI3K inhibitor of Formula (IX), and the BTK inhibitor ibrutinib is depicted in FIG. 135.

[001029] The preparation of tumors and rodent species was performed as described in Example 4. A total of 12 mice were used in each arm of the study.

Example 15 - Synergistic Combinations of a BTK Inhibitor, a PI3K-5 Inhibitor, and an q-PD-Ll inhibitor in the A20 Orthotopic Lymphoma Model

[001031] The A20 mouse orthotopic lymphoma cancer model was used to investigate the therapeutic efficacy of various combinations of the BTK inhibitor of Formula (XVTII), the BTK inhibitor ibrutinib (Formula (XX- A)), and the PI3K-5 inhibitor of Formula (IX), with an anti-PD-lL monoclonal antibody (aPD-Ll, BioXcell InVivoMAb anti-m-PD-Ll, clone 10F.9G2). The A20 lymphoma mouse model is described in Palmieri, et al, Blood 2010, 116, 226-3%; Kim, et al, J. Immunol. 1979, 122, 549-54. A20 is poorly

immunogenic, and A20 cells are injected into BALB/c mice lead to a disseminated leukemia with infiltration of lymph nodes, liver, and spleen and the presence of malignant cells in bone marrow and peripheral blood. This leukemia is highly resistant. Myeloablative doses of irradiation followed by syngeneic bone marrow transplant fail to cure A20 bearing mice. Graner, et al, Clin Cancer Res. 2000, 6, 909-15.

[001032] The treatment schema included the following arms: (1) IgG only; (2) the BTK inhibitor of Formula (XVIII) at 15 mg/kg, BID, on days 6 to 20; (3) the PI3K-5 inhibitor of Formula (IX) at 15 mg/kg, BID, on days 6 to 20; (4) the BTK inhibitor of Formula (XVIII) and the PI3K inhibitor of Formula (IX) each at 15 mg/kg, BID, on days 6 to 20; (5) the BTK inhibitor ibrutinib at 6 mg/kg, QD, on days 6 to 20; (6) a-PD-Ll antibody at 150 μg, on days 6, 9, 12, 15, and 18; (7) the BTK inhibitor of Formula (XVIII) at 15 mg/kg, BID, on days 6 to 20, combined with a-PD-Ll antibody at 150 μg, on days 6, 9, 12, 15, and 18; (8) the PI3K-5 inhibitor of Formula (IX) at 15 mg/kg, BID, on days 6 to 20, combined with a-PD-Ll antibody at 150 μg, on days 6, 9, 12, 15, and 18; (9) the PI3K-5 inhibitor ibrutinib at 6 mg/kg, QD, on days 6 to 20, combined with a-PD-Ll antibody at 150 μg, on days 6, 9, 12, 15, and 18; and (10) the BTK inhibitor of Formula (XVIII) and the PI3K inhibitor of Formula (IX) each at 15 mg/kg, BID, on days 6 to 20, further combined with a-PD-Ll antibody at 150 μg, on days 6, 9, 12, 15, and 18. The overall treatment and dosing schema used for the a-PD-Ll inhibitor in combination with the BTK inhibitor of Formula (XVIII), the PI3K inhibitor of Formula (IX), and the BTK inhibitor ibrutinib is depicted in FIG. 138.

[001033] The preparation of tumors and rodent species was performed as described in Example 4. A total of 12 mice were used in each arm of the study.

Example 16 - Preclinical Characteristics of BTK Inhibitors

[001035] The BTK inhibitor ibrutinib ((l-[(3i?)-3-[4-amino-3-(4-phenoxyphenyl)-lH- pyrazolo[3,4-<fJpyrimidin-l-yl]piperidin-l-yl]prop-2-en-l-one) is a first-generation BTK inhibitor. In clinical testing as a monotherapy in subjects with hematologic malignancies, ibrutinib was generally well tolerated at dose levels through 840 mg (the highest dose tested). Advani, et al., J. Clin. Oncol. 2013, 31, 88-94; Byrd, et al, N. Engl. J. Med. 2013, 369, 32-42; Wang, et al, N. Engl. J. Med. 2013, 369, 507-16. No maximum tolerated dose (MTD) was apparent within the tested dose range. Furthermore, subjects typically found the drug tolerable over periods extending to > 2 years. No subject had tumor lysis syndrome. No overt pattern of myelosuppression was associated with ibrutinib treatment. No drug-related reductions in circulating CD4⁺ T cells or serum immunoglobulins were noted. Adverse events with an apparent relationship to study drug included diarrhea and rash.

[001036] In subjects with heavily pretreated non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL), ibrutinib showed substantial antitumor activity, inducing durable regressions of lymphadenopathy and splenomegaly in most subjects. Improvements in disease-associated anemia and thrombocytopenia were observed. The pattern of changes in subjects with CLL was notable. Single-active pharmaceutical ingredient ibrutinib caused rapid and substantial reductions in lymph node size concomitant with a redistribution of malignant sites into the peripheral blood. An asymptomatic absolute lymphocyte count (ALC) increase was observed that was maximal during the first few months of treatment and generally decreased thereafter but could be persistent in some subjects or could be seen repeatedly in subjects who had interruption and resumption of drug therapy.

[001037] Collectively, these data with ibrutinib support the potential benefits of selective BTK inhibition in the treatment of subjects with relapsed lymphoid cancers. However, while highly potent in inhibiting BTK, ibrutinib has also shown in vitro activity against other kinases with a cysteine in the same position as Cys481 in BTK to which the drug covalently binds. For example, ibrutinib inhibits epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR), which may be the cause of ibrutinib-related diarrhea and rash. In addition, it is a substrate for both cytochrome P450 (CYP) enzymes 3A4/5 and 2D6, which increases the possibility of drug-drug interactions. These liabilities support the development of alternative BTK inhibitors for use in the therapy of lymphoid cancer.

[001038] The preclinical selectivity and potency characteristics of the second-generation BTK inhibitor of Formula (XVTII) were compared to the first-generation BTK inhibitor ibrutinib. In Table 9, a kinome screen (performed Life Technologies or based on literature data) is shown that compares these compounds. TABLE 9. Kinome Screen for BTK Inhibitors (IC

[001039] The results shown in Table 9 are obtained from a 10 point biochemical assay generated from 10 point concentration curves. The BTK inhibitor of Formula (XVIII) shows much greater selectivity for BTK compared to other kinases than ibrutinib.

[001040] A comparison of the in vivo potency results for the BTK inhibitors of Formula (XVIII) and ibrutinib is shown in FIG. 141. CD86 and CD69 are cell surface proteins that are BCR activation markers. To obtain the in vivo potency results, mice were gavaged at increasing drug concentration and sacrificed at one time point (3 h post-dose). BCR was stimulated with IgM and the expression of activation marker CD69 and CD 86 are monitored by flow cytometry and to determine EC₅₀ values.

[001041] In vitro and in vivo safety pharmacology studies with Formula (XVIII) have demonstrated a favorable nonclinical safety profile. When screened at 10 μΜ in binding assays evaluating interactions with 80 known pharmacologic targets such as G-protein- coupled receptors, nuclear receptors, proteases, and ion channels, Formula (XVIII) shows significant activity only against the A3 adenosine receptor; follow-up dose-response experiments indicated a IC₅₀ of 2.7 μΜ, suggesting a low clinical risk of off-target effects. Formula (XVIII) at 10 μΜ showed no inhibition of in vitro EGFR

phosphorylation in an A431 human epidermoid cancer cell line whereas ibrutinib had an IC₅₀ of 66 nM. The in vitro effect of Formula (XVIII) on human ether-a-go-go-related gene (hERG) channel activity was investigated in vitro in human embryonic kidney cells stably transfected with hERG. Formula (XVIII) inhibited hERG channel activity by 25% at 10 μΜ, suggesting a low clinical risk that Formula (XVIII) would induce clinical QT prolongation as predicted by this assay. Formula (XVTII) was well tolerated in standard in vivo Good Laboratory Practices (GLP) studies of pharmacologic safety. A functional observation battery in rats at doses of through 300 mg/kg (the highest dose level) revealed no adverse effects on neurobehavioral effects or body temperature at any dose level. A study of respiratory function in rats also indicated no treatment-related adverse effects at doses through 300 mg/kg (the highest dose level). In a cardiovascular function study in awake telemeterized male beagle dogs, single doses of Formula (XVTII) at dose levels through 30 mg/kg (the highest dose level) induced no meaningful changes in body temperature, cardiovascular, or electrocardiographic (ECG) (including QT interval) parameters. The results suggest that Formula (XVTII) is unlikely to cause serious off- target effects or adverse effects on critical organ systems.

[001042] The drug-drug interaction potential of Formula (XVTII) was also evaluated. In vitro experiments evaluating loss of parent drug as catalyzed by CYPs indicated that Formula (XVTII) is metabolized by CYP3A4. In vitro metabolism studies using mouse, rat, dog, rabbit, monkey, and human hepatocytes incubated with ¹⁴C-labeled Formula (XVTII) indicated two mono-oxidized metabolites and a glutathione conjugate. No unique human metabolite was identified. Preliminary evaluations of metabolism in the plasma, bile, and urine of rats, dogs, and monkeys indicated metabolic processes of oxidation, glutathione binding, and hydrolysis. It was shown that Formula (XVTII) binds to glutathione but does not deplete glutathione in vitro. Nonclinical CYP interaction studies data indicate that Formula (XVTII) is very unlikely to cause clinical drug-drug interactions through alteration of the metabolism of drugs that are substrates for CYP enzymes.

Example 17 - Clinical Study of a BTK Inhibitor in Leukemia/Lymphoma and Effects on Bone Marrow and Lymphoid Microenvironments

[001043] Clinical studies have shown that targeting the BCR signaling pathway by inhibiting BTK produces significant clinical benefit in patients with non-Hodgkin's lymphoma (NHL). The second generation BTK inhibitor, Formula (XVTII), achieves significant oral bioavailability and potency, and has favorable preclinical characteristics, as described above. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety and efficacy of the second generation BTK inhibitor of Formula (XVIII) in treating subjects with chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) and small lymphocytic lymphoma (SLL).

[001044] The design and conduct of this study is supported by an understanding of the history and current therapies for subjects with lymphoid cancers; knowledge of the activity and safety of a first-generation BTK inhibitor, ibrutinib, in subjects with hematologic cancers; and the available nonclinical information regarding Formula (XVTII). The collective data support the following conclusions. BTK expression plays an important role in the biology of lymphoid neoplasms, which represent serious and life- threatening disorders with continuing unmet medical need. Clinical evaluation of Formula (XVTII) as a potential treatment for these disorders has sound scientific rationale based on observations that the compound selectively abrogates BTK activity and shows activity in nonclinical models of lymphoid cancers. These data are supported by clinical documentation that ibrutinib, a first-generation BTK inhibitor, is clinically active in these diseases. Ibrutinib clinical data and Formula (XVIII) nonclinical safety pharmacology and toxicology studies support the safety of testing Formula (XVTII) in subjects with B cell malignancies.

[001045] The primary objectives of the clinical study are as follows: (1) establish the safety and the MTD of orally administered Formula (XVIII) in subjects with CLL/SLL; (2) determine pharmacokinetics (PK) of orally administered Formula (XVTII) and identification of its major metabolite(s); and (3) measure pharmacodynamic (PD) parameters including drug occupancy of BTK, the target enzyme, and effect on biologic markers of B cell function.

[001046] The secondary objective of the clinical study is to evaluate tumor responses in patients treated with Formula (XVTII).

[001047] This study is a multicenter, open-label, nonrandomized, sequential group, dose escalation study. The following dose cohorts will be evaluated:

Cohort 1 : 100 mg/day for 28 days (= 1 cycle)

Cohort 2: 175 mg/day for 28 days (= 1 cycle)

Cohort 3: 250 mg/day for 28 days (= 1 cycle)

Cohort 4: 350 mg/day for 28 days (= 1 cycle) Cohort 5: 450 mg/day for 28 days (= 1 cycle)

Cohort 6: To be determined amount in mg/day for 28 days (= 1 cycle)

[001048] Each cohort will be enrolled sequentially with 6 subjects per cohort. If < 1 dose-limiting toxicity (DLT) is observed in the cohort during Cycle 1 , escalation to the next cohort will proceed. Subjects may be enrolled in the next cohort if 4 of the 6 subjects enrolled in the cohort completed Cycle 1 without experiencing a DLT, while the remaining 2 subjects are completing evaluation. If > 2 DLTs are observed during Cycle 1, dosing at that dose and higher will be suspended and the MTD will be established as the previous cohort. The MTD is defined as the largest daily dose for which fewer than 33% of the subjects experience a DLT during Cycle 1. Dose escalation will end when either the MTD is achieved or at 3 dose levels above full BTK occupancy, whichever occurs first. Full BTK occupancy is defined as Formula (XVIII) active-site occupancy of

> 80% (average of all subjects in cohort) at 24 hours postdose. Should escalation to Cohort 6 be necessary, the dose will be determined based on the aggregate data from Cohorts 1 to 5, which includes safety, efficacy, and PK/PD results. The dose for Cohort 6 will not exceed 900 mg/day.

[001049] Treatment with Formula (XVTII) may be continued for > 28 days until disease progression or an unacceptable drug-related toxicity occurs. Subjects with disease progression will be removed from the study. All subjects who discontinue study drug will have a safety follow-up visit 30 (±7) days after the last dose of study drug unless they have started another cancer therapy within that timeframe. Radiologic tumor assessment will be done at screening and at the end of Cycle 2, Cycle 4, and Cycle 12 and at investigator discretion. Confirmation of complete response (CR) will require bone marrow analysis and radiologic tumor assessment. For subjects who remain on study for

> 11 months, a mandatory bone marrow aspirate and biopsy is required in Cycle 12 concurrent with the radiologic tumor assessment.

[001050] All subjects will have standard hematology, chemistry, and urinalysis safety panels done at screening. This study also includes pancreatic function assessment (serum amylase and serum lipase) due to the pancreatic findings in the 28-day GLP rat toxicity study. Once dosing commences, all subjects will be evaluated for safety once weekly for the first 4 weeks, every other week for Cycle 2, and monthly thereafter. Blood samples will be collected during the first week of treatment for PK/PD assessments. ECGs will be done at screening, and on Day 1-2, 8, 15, 22, 28 of Cycle 1, Day 15 and 28 of Cycle 2, and monthly thereafter through Cycle 6. ECGs are done in triplicate for screening only. Thereafter, single ECG tests are done unless a repeat ECG testing is required.

[001051] Dose-limiting toxicity is defined as any of the following events (if not related to disease progression): (1) any Grade > 3 non-hematologic toxicity (except alopecia) persisting despite receipt of a single course of standard outpatient symptomatic therapy (e.g., Grade 3 diarrhea that responds to a single, therapeutic dose of Imodium® would not be considered a DLT); (2) grade > 3 prolongation of the corrected QT interval (QTc), as determined by a central ECG laboratory overread; (3) grade 4 neutropenia (absolute neutrophil count [ANC] < 500/μΕ) lasting > 7 days after discontinuation of therapy without growth factors or lasting > 5 days after discontinuation of therapy while on growth factors (i.e., Grade 4 neutropenia not lasting as long as specified will not be considered a DLT), (4) grade 4 thrombocytopenia (platelet count < 20,000/μΕ) lasting > 7 days after discontinuation of therapy or requiring transfusion (i.e., Grade 4

thrombocytopenia not lasting as long as specified will not be considered a DLT), and (5) dosing delay due to toxicity for > 7 consecutive days.

[001052] The efficacy parameters for the study include overall response rate, duration of response, and progression-free survival (PFS). The safety parameters for the study include DLTs and MTD, frequency, severity, and attribution of adverse events (AEs) based on the Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (CTCAE v4.03) for non- hematologic AEs. Hallek, et al, Blood 2008, 111, 5446-5456.

[001053] The schedule of assessments is as follows, with all days stated in the following meaning the given day or +/- 2 days from the given day. A physical examination, including vital signs and weight, are performed at screening, during cycle 1 at 1, 8, 15, 22, and 28 days, during cycle 2 at 15 and 28 days, during cycles 3 to 24 at 28 days, and at follow up (after the last dose). The screening physical examination includes, at a minimum, the general appearance of the subject, height (screening only) and weight, and examination of the skin, eyes, ears, nose, throat, lungs, heart, abdomen, extremities, musculoskeletal system, lymphatic system, and nervous system. Symptom- directed physical exams are done thereafter. Vital signs (blood pressure, pulse, respiratory rate, and temperature) are assessed after the subject has rested in the sitting position. Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) status is assessed at screening, during cycle 1 at 1 , 8, 15, 22, and 28 days, during cycle 2 at 15 and 28 days, during cycles 3 to 24 at 28 days, and at follow up, using the published ECOG performance status indications described in Oken, et ah, Am. J. Clin. Oncol. 1982, 5, 649-655. ECG testing is performed at screening, during cycle 1 at 1, 2, 8, 15, 22, and 28 days, during cycle 2 at 15 and 28 days, during cycles 3 to 24 at 28 days, and at follow up. The 12-lead ECG test will be done in triplicate (> 1 minute apart) at screening. The calculated QTc average of the 3 ECGs must be <480 ms for eligibility. On cycle 1, day 1 and cycle 1, day 8, single ECGs are done predose and at 1, 2, 4, and 6 h postdose. The single ECG on Cycle 1 Day 2 is done predose. On cycle 1, day 15, day 22, and day 28, a single ECG is done 2 hours post-dose. Starting with cycle 2, a single ECG is done per visit. Subjects should be in supine position and resting for at least 10 minutes before study-related ECGs. Two consecutive machine-read QTc > 500 ms or > 60 ms above baseline require central ECG review. Hematology, including complete blood count with differential and platelet and reticulocyte counts, is assessed at screening, during cycle 1 at 1, 8, 15, 22, and 28 days, during cycle 2 at 15 and 28 days, during cycles 3 to 24 at 28 days, and at follow up.

Serum chemistry is assesed at screening, during cycle 1 at 1, 8, 15, 22, and 28 days, during cycle 2 at 15 and 28 days, during cycles 3 to 24 at 28 days, and at follow up.

Serum chemistry includes albumin, alkaline phosphatase, ALT, AST, bicarbonate, blood urea nitrogen (BUN), calcium, chloride, creatinine, glucose, lactate dehydrogenase (LDH), magnesium, phosphate, potassium, sodium, total bilirubin, total protein, and uric acid. Cell counts and serum immunoglobulin are performed at screening, at cycle 2, day 28, and at every 6 months thereafter until last dose and include T/B/NK/monocyte cell counts (CD3, CD4, CD8, CD14, CD19, CD19, CD16/56, and others as needed) and serum immunoglobulin (IgG, IgM, IgA, and total immunoglobulin). Bone marrow aspirates are performed at cycle 12. Pharmacodynamics samples are drawn during cycle 1 at 1, 2, and 8 days, and at follow up. On days 1 and 8, pharmacodynamic samples are drawn pre-dose and 4 hours (±10 minutes) post-dose, and on day 2, pharmacodynamic samples are drawn pre-dose. Pharmacokinetics samples are drawn during cycle 1 at 1 , 2, 8, 15, 22, and 28 days. Pharmacokinetic samples for Cycle 1 Day 1 are drawn pre-dose and at 0.5, 1, 2, 4, 6 and 24 hours (before dose on Day 2) post-dose. Samples for Cycle 1 Day 8 are drawn pre-dose and at 0.5, 1, 2, 4, and 6 hours post-dose. On Cycle 1 Day 15, 22, and 28, a PK sample is drawn pre-dose and the second PK sample must be drawn before (up to 10 minutes before) the ECG acquisition, which is 2 hours postdose.

Pretreatment radiologic tumor assessments are performed within 30 days before the first dose. A computed tomography (CT) scan (with contrast unless contraindicated) is required of the chest, abdomen, and pelvis. In addition, a positron emission tomography (PET) or PET/CT must done for subjects with SLL. Radiologic tumor assessments are mandatory at the end of Cycle 2 (-7 days), Cycle 4 (- 7days), and Cycle 12 (-7 days). Otherwise, radiologic tumor assessments are done at investigator discretion. A CT (with contrast unless contraindicated) scan of the chest, abdomen, and pelvis is required for subjects with CLL. In addition, a PET/CT is required in subjects with SLL. Bone marrow and radiologic assessments are both required for confirmation of a complete response (CR). Clinical assessments of tumor response should be done at the end of Cycle 6 and every 3 months thereafter. Molecular markers are measured at screening, and include interphase cytogenetics, stimulated karyotype, IgHV mutational status, Zap- 70 methylation, and beta-2 microglobulin levels. Urinalysis is performed at screening, and includes pH, ketones, specific gravity, bilirubin, protein, blood, and glucose. Other assessments, including informed consent, eligibility, medical history, and pregnancy test are done at the time of screening.

[001054] The investigator rates the subject's response to treatment based on recent guidelines for CLL, as given in Hallek, et ah, Blood 2008, 111, 5446-56, and for SLL, as given in Cheson, et al., J. Clin. Oncol. 2007, 25, 579-586. The response assessment criteria for CLL are summarized in Table 10. TABLE 10. Response Assessment Criteria for CLL. Abbreviations: ANC = absolute neutrophil count; CR = complete remission; CRi = CR with incomplete blood count recovery; PR = partial remission.

evaluation

b. Without need for exogenous growth factors

c. In the sum products of < 6 lymph nodes or in the largest diameter of the enlarged lymph node(s) detected before therapy and no increase in any lymph node or new enlarged lymph nodes

[001055] The response assessment criteria for SLL are summarized in Table 11. TABLE 11. Response Assessment Criteria for SLL. Abbreviations: CR = complete remission, CT = computed tomography, FDG = [¹⁸F]fluorodeoxyglucose, PET = positron-emission tomography, PR = partial remission, SD = stable disease, SPD = sum of the product of the diameters.

[001056] The PK parameters of the study are as follows. The plasma PK of Formula (XVTII) and a metabolite is characterized using noncompartmental analysis. The following PK parameters are calculated, whenever possible, from plasma concentrations of Formula (XVIII):

AUC₍o-t₎: Area under the plasma concentration-time curve calculated using linear trapezoidal summation from time 0 to time t, where t is the time of the last measurable concentration (Ct),

AUC(o-24): Area under the plasma concentration-time curve from 0 to 24 hours, calculated using linear trapezoidal summation,

AUC(o-oo) : Area under the plasma concentration-time curve from 0 to infinity, calculated using the formula: AUC(o-_∞) = AU O-Q + Ct / λζ, where λζ is the apparent terminal elimination rate constant,

Cma_X: Maximum observed plasma concentration,

ma_X: Time of the maximum plasma concentration (obtained without interpolation),

t_½: Terminal elimination half-life (whenever possible),

λζ: Terminal elimination rate constant (whenever possible),

Cl F: Oral clearance.

[001057] The PD parameters of the study are as follows. The occupancy of BTK by Formula (XVIII) are measured in peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) with the aid of a biotin-tagged Formula (XVIII) analogue probe. The effect of Formula (XVIII) on biologic markers of B cell function will also be evaluated.

[001058] The statistical analysis used in the study is as follows. No formal statistical tests of hypotheses are performed. Descriptive statistics (including means, standard deviations, and medians for continuous variables and proportions for discrete variables) are used to summarize data as appropriate.

[001059] The following definitions are used for the safety and efficacy analysis sets: Safety analysis set: All enrolled subjects who receive > 1 dose of study drug; Per- protocol (PP) analysis set: All enrolled subjects who receive > 1 dose of study drug and with > 1 tumor response assessment after treatment. The safety analysis set will be used for evaluating the safety parameters in this study. The PP analysis sets will be analyzed for efficacy parameters in this study.

[001060] No imputation of values for missing data is performed except for missing or partial start and end dates for adverse events and concomitant medication will be imputed according to prespecified, conservative imputation rules. Subjects lost to follow-up (or drop out) will be included in statistical analyses to the point of their last evaluation.

[001061] The safety endpoint analysis was performed as follows. Safety summaries will include summaries in the form of tables and listings. The frequency (number and percentage) of treatment emergent adverse events will be reported in each treatment group by Medical Dictionary for Regulatory Activities (MedDRA) System Organ Class and Preferred Term. Summaries will also be presented by the severity of the adverse event and by relationship to study drug. Laboratory shift tables containing counts and percentages will be prepared by treatment assignment, laboratory parameter, and time. Summary tables will be prepared for each laboratory parameter. Figures of changes in laboratory parameters over time will be generated. Vital signs, ECGs, and physical exams will be tabulated and summarized.

[001062] Additional analyses include summaries of subject demographics, baseline characteristics, compliance, and concurrent treatments. Concomitant medications will be coded according to the World Health Organization (WHO) Drug Dictionary and tabulated.

[001063] The analysis of efficacy parameters was performed as follows. The point estimate of the overall response rate will be calculated for the PP analysis set. The corresponding 95% confidence interval also will be derived. The duration of overall response is measured from the time measurement criteria are met for CR or PR

(whichever is first recorded) until the first date that recurrent or progressive disease is objectively documented (taking as reference for progressive disease the smallest measurements recorded since the treatment started). Kaplan-Meier methodology will be used to estimate event-free curves and corresponding quantiles (including the median). Progression-free survival is measured from the time of first study drug administration until the first date that recurrent or progressive disease is objectively documented (taking as reference for progressive disease the smallest measurements recorded since the treatment started). Kaplan-Meier methodology will be used to estimate the event-free curves and corresponding quantiles (including the median). [001064] The study scheme is a sequential cohort escalation. Each cohort consists of six subjects. The sample size of the study is 24 to 36 subjects, depending on dose escalation into subsequent cohorts. Cohort 1 (N = 6) consists of Formula (XVIII), 100 mg QD for 28 days. Cohort 2 (N = 6) consists of Formula (XVIII), 175 mg QD for 28 days. Cohort 3 (N = 6) consists of Formula (XVIII), 250 mg QD for 28 days. Cohort 4 (N = 6) consists of Formula (XVIII), 350 mg QD for 28 days. Cohort 5 (N = 6) consists of Formula (XVIII), 450 mg QD for 28 days. Cohort 6 (N = 6) consists of Formula (XVIII), at a dose to be determined QD for 28 days. The dose level for Cohort 6 will be determined based on the safety and efficacy of Cohorts 1 to 5, and will not exceed 900 mg/day. Escalation will end with either the MTD cohort or three levels above full BTK occupancy, whichever is observed first. An additional arm of the study will explore 100 mg BID dosing. Treatment with oral Formula (XVIII) may be continued for greater than 28 days until disease progression or an unacceptable drug-related toxicity occurs.

[001065] The inclusion criteria for the study are as follows: (1) men and women > 18 years of age with a confirmed diagnosis of CLL/SLL, which has relapsed after, or been refractory to, > 2 previous treatments for CLL/SLL; however, subjects with 17p deletion are eligible if they have relapsed after, or been refractory to, 1 prior treatment for CLL/SLL; (2) body weight > 60 kg, (3) ECOG performance status of < 2; (4) agreement to use contraception during the study and for 30 days after the last dose of study drug if sexually active and able to bear children; (5) willing and able to participate in all required evaluations and procedures in this study protocol including swallowing capsules without difficulty; or (6) ability to understand the purpose and risks of the study and provide signed and dated informed consent and authorization to use protected health information (in accordance with national and local subject privacy regulations).

[001066] The dosage form and strength of Formula (XVIII) used in the clinical study is a hard gelatin capsules prepared using standard pharmaceutical grade excipients

(microcrystalline cellulose) and containing 25 mg of Formula (XVIII) each. The color of the capsules is Swedish orange. The route of administration is oral (per os, or PO). The dose regimen is once daily or twice daily, as defined by the cohort, on an empty stomach (defined as no food 2 hours before and 30 minutes after dosing). [001067] The baseline characteristics for the patients enrolled in the clinical study are given in Table 12.

TABLE 12. Relapsed/refractory CLL baseline characteristics.

[001068] The results of the clinical study in relapsed/refractory CLL patients are summarized in Table 13.

TABLE 13. Activity of Formula (XVIII) in relapsed/refractory CLL. (PR = partial response; PR+L = partial response with lymphocytosis; SD = stable disease; PD = progressive disease.)

[001069] FIG. 142 shows the median % change in ALC and SPD from baseline in the clinical study of Formula (XVIII), plotted in comparison to the results reported for ibrutinib in Figure 1A of Byrd, et al, N. Engl. J. Med. 2013, 369, 32-42. The results show that Formula (XVIII) leads to a more rapid patient response in CLL than corresponding treatment with ibrutinib. This effect is illustrated, for example, by the median % change in SPD, which achieved the same status in the present study at 7 months of treatment with Formula (XVIII) as compared to 18 months for ibrutinib. The % change in SPD observed in the different cohorts {i.e. by dose and dosing regimen) is shown in FIG. 143, and in all cases shows significant responses.

[001070] A Kaplan-Meier curve showing PFS from the clinical CLL study of Formula (XVIII) is shown in FIG. 144. A comparison of survival curves was performed using the Log-Rank (Mantle-Cox) test, with a p-value of 0.0206 indicating that the survival curves are different. The number of patients at risk is shown in FIG. 145. Both FIG. 144 and FIG. 145 show the results for Formula (XVIII) in comparison to the results reported for ibrutinib in Byrd, et ah, N. Engl. J. Med. 2013, 369, 32-42. An improvement in survival and a reduction in risk are observed in CLL patients treated with Formula (XVIII) in comparison to patients treated with ibrutinib.

[001071] Based on the data and comparisons shown in FIG. 142 to FIG. 145, the CLL study with Formula (XVIII) showed that the efficacy of Formula (XVIII) was surprisingly superior to that of ibrutinib.

[001072] In the literature study of ibrutinib, increased disease progression was associated with patients with high-risk cytogenetic lesions (17pl3.1 deletion or l lq22.3 deletion), as shown in Figure 3 A in Byrd, et ah, N. Engl. J. Med. 2013, 369, 32-42, which shows ibrutinib PFS including PFS broken down by genetic abnormality. The 17p and 1 lq deletions are validated high-risk characteristics of CLL, and the 17p deletion is the highest risk. In FIG. 146, the PFS is shown for Formula (XVIII) in patients with the 17p deletion in comparison to the results obtained for ibrutinib in Byrd, et al. , N. Engl. J. Med. 2013, 369, 32-42. A p-value of 0.0696 was obtained. In FIG. 147, the number of patients at risk with the 17p deletion is compared. To date, no 17p patients have progressed on Formula (XVIII).

[001073] The adverse events observed in the clinical study in relapsed/refractory CLL are given in Table 14. No DLTs were observed. The MTD was not reached. No treatment-related serious adverse events (SAEs) were observed. No prophylactic antivirals or antibiotics were needed.

TABLE 14. Treatment-related adverse events reported in the clinical study of Formula (XVni) in relapsed/refractory CLL. (Reported in > 5% of patients.)

[001074] The clinical study of Formula (XVIII) thus showed other unexpectedly superior results compared to ibrutinib therapy. A lack of lymphocytosis was observed in the study. Furthermore, only grade 1 AEs were observed, and these AEs were attributable to the high BTK selectivity of Formula (XVIII).

[001075] BTK target occupancy was measured for relapsed/refractory CLL patients with the results shown in FIG. 148. For 200 mg QD dosing of the BTK inhibitor of Formula (XVni), approximately 94% - 99% BTK occupancy was observed, with superior 24 hour coverage and less inter-patient variability also observed. For 420 mg and 840 mg QD of the BTK inhibitor ibrutinib, 80% - 90% BTK occupancy was observed, with more inter- patient variability and capped occupancy. These results indicate that the BTK inhibitor of Formula (XVQI) achieves superior BTK occupancy in CLL patients than ibrutinib.

[001076] The effects of Formula (XVTII) on cell subset percentages were also evaluated using flow cytometry analysis of peripheral blood, with the results shown in FIG. 149, FIG. 150, FIG. 151, FIG. 152, FIG. 153, and FIG. 154. PBMC samples from CLL patient samples drawn prior to (predose) and after 28 days of dosing with Formula (XVni) were compared for potential changes in cell subsets. PBMCs were stained with monoclonal antibodies conjugated to fluorescent tags (flourochromes) to identify cell subsets via flow cytometry. Non-viable cells were excluded from the analysis using the dye 7-aminoactinomycin D (7-AAD). To produce the metric of percent change, the following steps were taken. First, each cell subset was defined by hierarchical flow cytometry gating. Then, the change in frequency (between day 1 and day 28) was calculated for each cell subset. MDSC subsets were measured as a % of all myeloid cells. T cell subsets were measured as a % of all CD3⁺ cells, and NK cells were measured as a % of all live CD45⁺ cells. In FIG. 149 and FIG. 150, the results show the % change in MDSC (monocytic) level over 28 days versus % ALC change at cycle 1 day 28 (C1D28) and at cycle 2 day 28 (C2D28). A cycle is 28 days. A trend is observed wherein patients with decreasing ALC % had increasing MDSC (monocytic) %. This may include patients who had quickly resolving lymphocytosis and those with no initial lymphocytosis. This provides evidence that treatment with Formula (XVTQ) mobilizes MDSCs and thus affects the CLL tumor microenvironment in marrow and lymph nodes, which is an unexpected indication of superior efficacy. In FIG. 151 and FIG. 152, the results show the % change in NK cell level over 28 days versus % ALC change, measured at C1D28 or C2D28, and similar trends are observed wherein patients with decreasing ALC % had increasing NK cell %. This may include patients who had quickly resolving lymphocytosis and those having no initial lymphocytosis. The effects in FIG. 149 to FIG. 152 are observed in multiple cohorts, at doses including 100 mg BID, 200 mg QD, and 400 mg QD. In FIG. 153 and FIG. 154, the effects on NK cells and MDSC cells are compared to a number of other markers versus % change in ALC at C1D28 and C2D28. These other markers include CD4+ T cells, CD8+ T cells,

CD4+/CD8+ T cell ratio, NK-T cells, PD-1+ CD4+ T cells, and PD-1+ CD8+ T cells. The effects on NK cells and MDSC cells are observed to be much more pronounced than on any of these other markers.

[001077] These results suggest that after Formula (XVIII) administration, the CLL microenvironment undergoes a change wherein NK cells and monocytic MDSC subsets increase in frequency in the peripheral blood in patients with falling ALC counts, an important clinical parameter in CLL. The NK cell increase may reflect an overall increase in cytolytic activity against B-CLL resulting in the ALC % to drop. The increase in MDSC % in the blood may be due to a movement of these cells out of the lymph nodes, spleen, and bone marrow, which are all possible sites of CLL proliferation. Fewer MDSCs at the CLL proliferation centers would likely result in a reduced immunosuppressive microenvironment leading to an increase in cell-mediated immunity against the tumor, decreased tumor proliferation, and eventually lower ALC% in the circulation.

[001078] Updated clinical results from the CLL study are shown in FIG. 155 to FIG. 160. FIG. 155 shows an update of the data presented in FIG. 142. FIG. 156 shows an update of the data presented in FIG. 142, and includes BID dosing results. Formula (XVIII) 200 mg QD dosing resulted in 94% - 99% BTK occupancy, 24 hour coverage, and less inter- patient variability. Ibrutinib 420 mg and 840 mg QD dosing resulted in 80% - 90% BTK occupancy, more inter-patient variability, and capped occupancy. Formula (XVIII) 100 mg BID dosing resulted in 97% - 99% BTK occupancy, complete BTK coverage, and less inter-patient variability. The PFS for patients with 1 lq deletions and 17p deletions are illustrated in FIG. 157, FIG. 158, and FIG. 159. Updated SPD results are illustrated in FIG. 160.

[001079] Treatment of CLL patients with Formula (XVIII) also resulted in increased apoptosis, as illustrated in FIG. 161. Apoptotic B-CLL was defined by flow cytometry as having cleaved PARP⁺, Caspase 3⁺, CD19⁺, and CD5⁺ phenotypes. 82% of samples tested had a baseline change greater than 25%. Treatment of CLL patients also showed that Formula (XVIII) decreased plasma chemokines associated with MDSC homing and retention. A significant decrease in CXCL12 and CCL2 levels has been observed in patients treated with Formula (XVIII), as shown in FIG. 162 and FIG. 163, respectively.

[001080] Overall, Formula (XVIII) shows superior efficacy to first generation BTK inhibitors such as ibrutinib, or to monotherapy with PI3K-5 inhibitors such as idelalisib. Formula (XVIII) has better target occupancy and better pharmacokinetic and metabolic parameters than ibrutinib, leading to improved B cell apoptosis. Furthermore, unlike treatment with ibrutinib and PI3K-5 inhibitors, treatment with Formula (XVIII) does not affect NK cell function. Finally, treatment with Formula (XVIII) leads to a CLL tumor microenvironmental effect by excluding MDSC cells from the marrow and lymph nodes and reducing their number.

Example 18 - Clinical Study of a BTK Inhibitor in Leukemia/Lymphoma in Combination with Obinutuzumab (GA-lOl)

[001081] The primary objectives of the study are (1) to determine the overall response rate (ORR) at 12 months with the combination of Formula (XVIII) and obinutuzumab in patients with relapsed or refractory CLL, (2) to determine the ORR at 12 months with the combination of Formula (XVIII) and obinutuzumab in patients with treatment-naive CLL, and (3) to establish the safety and feasibility of the combination of Formula (XVIII) and obinutuzumab.

[001082] The secondary objectives of this study are: (1) to determine the complete response (CR) rate and MRD-negative CR rate in previously untreated and relapsed and refractory CLL with this regimen; (2) to determine the progression-free survival (PFS), time to next treatment (TTNT), and overall survival (OS) with this regimen, (3) to perform baseline analysis of patients enrolled on this trial including fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH), stimulated karyotype, Zap-70 methylation, and ¾V_H mutational status and describe relationships between these biomarkers and ORR or PFS for patients treated with this regimen; (4) to determine pharmacokinetics (PK) of orally administered Formula (XVIII); (5) to measure pharmacodynamic (PD) parameters including drug occupancy of BTK, change in miR and gene expression on day 8 and 29 of therapy of Formula (XVIII); (6) to determine the influence of Formula (XVIII) on NK cell and T cell function in vivo; (7) to assess for serial development of resistance by baseline and longitudinal assessment of mutations of BTK and PLCG2 at regular follow up intervals and by examining diagnosis to relapse samples by whole exome sequencing; (8) to determine the influence of Formula (XVIII) on emotional distress and quality of life in CLL patients; and (9) to determine trajectory of psychological and behavioral responses to Formula (XVIII) and covariation with response to therapy.

[001083] CLL is the most prevalent form of adult leukemia and has a variable clinical course, where many patients do not require treatment for years and have survival equal to age matched controls. Other patients, however, exhibit aggressive disease and have a poor prognosis despite appropriate therapy. Byrd, et ah, Chronic lymphocytic leukemia. Hematology Am. Soc. Hematoh Educ. Program. 2004, 163-183. While patients with early disease have not been shown to have a survival advantage with early treatment, most patients will eventually require therapy for their disease with the onset of symptoms or cytopenias, and despite the relatively long life expectancy for early stage disease, CLL remains an incurable disease. Patients diagnosed with or progressing to advanced disease have a mean survival of 18 months to 3 years. Unfortunately these patients with advanced disease are also more refractory to conventional therapy.

[001084] The treatment of CLL has progressed significantly over the previous decades. While alkylator therapy was used in the past, randomized trials have demonstrated a higher response rate and longer progression free survival (PFS) with fludarabine and subsequently with fludarabine-and cyclophosphamide-based combinations. O'Brien, et ah, Advances in the biology and treatment of B-cell chronic lymphocytic leukemia.

Blood 1995, 85, 307-18; Rai, et ah, Fludarabine compared with chlorambucil as primary therapy for chronic lymphocytic leukemia. N. Engl. J. Med. 2000, 343, 1750-57; Johnson, et ah, Multicentre prospective randomised trial of fludarabine versus cyclophosphamide, doxorubicin, and prednisone (CAP) for treatment of advanced-stage chronic lymphocytic leukemia. The French Cooperative Group on CLL. Lancet 1996, 347, 1432-38; Leporrier, et ah, Randomized comparison of fludarabine, CAP, and ChOP in 938 previously untreated stage B and C chronic lymphocytic leukemia patients. Blood 2001, 98, 2319- 25; Catovsky, et ah, Assessment of fludarabine plus cyclophosphamide for patients with chronic lymphocytic leukemia (the LRF CLL4 Trial): A randomised controlled trial. Lancet 2007, 370, 230-239; Eichhorst, et ah, Fludarabine plus cyclophosphamide versus fludarabine alone in first-line therapy of younger patients with chronic lymphocytic leukemia. Blood 2006, 107, 885-91. At the same time, the chimeric anti-CD20 monoclonal antibody rituximab was introduced for the treatment of CLL. At high doses or with dose intensive treatment, single agent rituximab has shown efficacy; however complete responses and extended remissions are very rare. O'Brien, et ah Rituximab dose-escalation trial in chronic lymphocytic leukemia. J. Clin. Oncol. 2001, 19, 2165-70; Byrd, et ah, Rituximab using a thrice weekly dosing schedule in B-cell chronic lymphocytic leukemia and small lymphocytic lymphoma demonstrates clinical activity and acceptable toxicity. Clin. Oncol. 2001, 19, 2153-64. The efficacy of rituximab has been improved by combining it with traditional cytotoxic agents such as fludarabine or fludarabine and cyclophosphamide, which have produced high CR rates and extended progression free survival (PFS) compared to historical controls. Indeed, a large randomized clinical trial reported by the German CLL study group has shown a benefit of the addition of antibody therapy with rituximab to fludarabine and cyclophosphamide in the prolongation of PFS and OS in patients with untreated CLL. Hallek, et al, Addition of rituximab to fludarabine and cyclophosphamide in patients with chronic lymphocytic leukemia: a randomised, open-label, phase 3 trial. Lancet 2010, 376, 1164-74. This encouraging progress in therapy and our understanding of the disease has resulted in significantly improved response rates and PFS. However, significant improvements in overall survival (OS) and ultimately cure, remain elusive goals.

[001085] While fludarabine based chemoimmunotherapy is standard for younger patients, the therapy for older patients is less well defined. In the large Phase 2 and 3 trials outlined previously, median ages were typically in the early-60s, while the average age of patients diagnosed with CLL is 72, which calls into question whether these results are generalizable to the entire CLL population. In fact, the one randomized Phase 3 trial investigating primary CLL therapy in older patients demonstrated that in patients >65 years old, fludarabine is not superior to chlorambucil. Eichhorst, et al, First-line therapy with fludarabine compared with chlorambucil does not result in a major benefit for elderly patients with advanced chronic lymphocytic leukemia. Blood 2009, 114, 3382-91. This finding was corroborated by a large retrospective study of front-line trials performed by the Alliance for Clinical Trials in Oncology, which demonstrated again that fludarabine is not superior to chlorambucil in older patients, but also showed that the addition of rituximab to chemotherapy was beneficial regardless of age. Woyach, et al, Impact of age on outcomes after initial therapy with chemotherapy and different chemoimmunotherapy regimens in patients with chronic lymphocytic leukemia: Results of sequential cancer and leukemia group B studies. J. Clin. Oncol. 2013, 31, 440-7. Two studies have evaluated the combination of rituximab with chlorambucil, showing that this combination is safe and moderately effective. Hillmen, et al, rituximab plus

chlorambucil in patients with CD20-positive B-cell chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL): Final response analysis of an open-label Phase II Study, ASH Annual Meeting Abstracts, Blood 2010, 116, 697; Foa, et ah, A Phase II study of chlorambucil plus rituximab followed by maintenance versus observation in elderly patients with previously untreated chronic lymphocytic leukemia: Results of the first interim analysis, ASH Annual Meeting Abstracts, Blood 2010, 116, 2462.

[001086] Recently, the type II glycoengineered CD20 monoclonal antibody

obinutuzumab was introduced. In a Phase 1 trial of previously treated CLL as monotherapy, this antibody has a 62% response rate including 1 MRD-negative complete response, suggesting that alone this antibody may be more active in CLL than rituximab. Morschhauser, et ah, Phase I study of R05072759 (GA101) in relapsed/refractory chronic lymphocytic leukemia, ASH Annual Meeting Abstracts. Blood, 2009, 114, 884. The German CLL Study Group (GCLLSG) recently completed a Phase 3 trial of rituximab and chlorambucil or obinutuzumab and chlorambucil versus chlorambucil alone in patients with untreated CLL and significant comorbidities. In this population, obinutuzumab and chlorambucil (but not rituximab and chlorambucil) improved OS over chlorambucil alone (hazard ratio 0.41, p=0.002), and obinutuzumab and chlorambucil improved PFS over rituximab and chlorambucil (median PFS 26.7 months vs 14.9 months, pO.001). Goede, et ah, Obinutuzumab plus chlorambucil in patients with CLL and coexisting conditions, N. Engl. J. Med. 2014, 370, 1101-10. On the basis of these favorable data, the combination of obinutuzumab and chlorambucil is FDA approved as frontline therapy for CLL patients.

[001087] Many older patients are also treated with the combination of bendamustine plus rituximab (BR). Although BR has not been compared directly with chlorambucil and rituximab, results of a recent Phase 2 trial show an ORR of 88% with a median event free survival of 33.9 months and 90.5% OS at 27 months. Fischer, et ah, Bendamustine in combination with rituximab for previously untreated patients with chronic lymphocytic leukemia: A multicenter phase II trial of the German Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia Study Group. J. Clin. Oncol. 2012, 30, 3209-16. These results held for patients > 70 years old, and compare favorably with results published for chlorambucil and rituximab. While results with this regimen appear to be improved over historical controls, outcomes are not as good as those observed in younger patients with chemoimmunotherapy.

Therefore, the optimal therapy for older patients remains an unmet need in clinical trials.

[001088] Additionally, most patients eventually relapse with their disease and are frequently refractory to existing agents. Patients who relapse after combined

chemoimmunotherapy have a poor outcome with subsequent standard therapies. While options for these patients include alemtuzumab, bendamustine, high dose corticosteroids, ofatumumab, and combination based approaches, none of these therapies produces durable remissions that exceed that observed with first line chemoimmunotherapy.

[001089] In an ongoing Phase lb/2 study, the BTK inhibitor ibrutinib has shown activity in patients with relapsed or refractory CLL. In patients with relapsed or refractory CLL and measurable lymphadenopathy, the rate of lymph node shrinkage >50% is 89%. With a median follow-up of 4 months, ORR was 48% due to asymptomatic lymphocytosis, and with longer follow-up of 26 months in patients receiving the 420 mg dose, has improved to 71%, with an additional 20% of patients achieving a partial response with

lymphocytosis (PR-L). Byrd, et al, Activity and tolerability of the Bruton's tyrosine kinase (Btk) inhibitor PCI-32765 in patients with chronic lymphocytic leukemia/small lymphocytic lymphoma (CLL/SLL): Interim results of a phase Ib/II study. J. Clin.

Oncol. ASCO Annual Meeting Abstracts, 2011, 29, Abstract 6508; Byrd, et al. Targeting BTK with ibrutinib in relapsed chronic lymphocytic leukemia. N. Engl. J. Med. 2013, 369, 32-42. This lymphocytosis is likely related to B cell release from lymph node, spleen and marrow microenvironment due to disruption of homing signals or

chemoattractants that are relevant to usual lymphocyte circulation dynamics.

Lymphocytosis with ibrutinib is seen within 1 -2 weeks of starting therapy, reaches plateau within the first 2-3 cycles, and has resolved over time in virtually all patients. The duration of lymphocytosis does not appear to be related to the depth of eventual response nor to response duration. Woyach, et al. , Prolonged lymphocytosis during ibrutinib therapy is associated with distinct molecular characteristics and does not indicate a suboptimal response to therapy. Blood 2014, 123, 1810-7. Response to ibrutinib occurs independently of high-risk genomic features including IgV_H mutational status and del(17pl3.1). Responses to this drug have been durable as well, with an estimated 26 month PFS of 76% and OS of 83% for these relapsed and refractory patients. This study also included a cohort of 31 previously untreated patients. With 16.6 months of follow-up, ORR is 71%, with an additional 10% of patients having persistent lymphocytosis; estimated 22 month PFS is 96%. This agent is currently in Phase 3 trials in treatment-naive disease and is currently FDA approved for the treatment of relapsed CLL. These data with ibrutinib support the potential benefits of selective BTK inhibition in CLL. However, while highly potent in inhibiting BTK, ibrutinib has also shown in vitro activity against other kinases (e.g., epidermal growth factor receptor), which may be the cause of ibrutinib-related diarrhea and rash. Honigberg, et ah, The Bruton tyrosine kinase inhibitor PCI-32765 blocks B-cell activation and is efficacious in models of autoimmune disease and B-cell malignancy. Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. USA 2010, 107, 13075-13080. In addition, it is a substrate for both cytochrome P450 (CYP) enzymes 3A4/5, which increases the possibility of drug-drug interactions. Finally, the inhibition of ITK that is seen with ibrutinib has the potential to abrogate NK cell ADCC, which makes combination with monoclonal antibodies less effective. Kohrt, et ah, Ibrutinib antagonizes rituximab-dependent NK cell-mediated cytotoxicity. Blood 2014, 123, 1957- 60. These liabilities support the development of alternative BTK inhibitors for use in the therapy of lymphoid cancers.

[001090] In this Phase IB study, two cohorts (relapsed/refractory and treatment-naive) will be evaluated with slightly staggered enrollment. First, 6 subjects with R/R CLL will be enrolled into Cohort 1. Once the safety has been evaluated, the R/R cohort will be expanded to 26 subjects and enrollment of 6 treatment-naive subjects can begin in Cohort 2. Once safety is established for Cohort 2, then the cohort will be expanded to 19 subjects.

[001091] Formula (XVTII) will be administered starting cycle 1 day 1 and will be administered twice daily (100 mg BID) until disease progression. Obinutuzumab will be given in the standard dosing fashion starting on cycle 2 day 1. On cycle 2 day 1 , patients will receive 100 mg IV. On cycle 2 day 2, patients will receive 900 mg. On cycle 2 days 8 and 15, patients will receive 1000 mg IV. On cycles 3-7, patients will receive 1000 mg on day 1 of each cycle. For patients treated at dose level -1, 100 mg will be given on Day 1 and 650 mg on Day 2 of Cycle 2. On cycle 2 day 8 and 15, patients will receive 750 mg IV and during cycles 3-7, patients will receive 750 mg on Day 1 of each cycle. It is acceptable for cycles to begin < a 24-hour (1 business day) window before and after the protocol-defined date for Day 1 of a new cycle.

[001094] In this study, Formula (XVIII) is administered 100 mg BID, with the second dose 11-13 hours after the first. Obinutuzumab is administered by IV infusion as an absolute (flat) dose. Obinutuzumab is administered in a single day, with the exception of the first administration when patients receive their first dose of obinutuzumab over two consecutive days (split dose) in Cycle 2: 100 mg on Day 1 and 900 mg on Day 2. For patients treated at dose level -1 (750 mg obinutuzumab), - 100 mg will be given on Day 1 and 650 mg on Day 2. On days when both Formula (XVIII) and obinutuzumab are given, the order of study treatment administration will be Formula (XVIII) followed at least 1 hour later by obinutuzumab. The full dosing schedule is given in Table 15.

TABLE 15. Dosing of obinutuzumab during 6 treatment cycles each of 28 days duration.

Cycles 3-7 Day 1 1000 mg to a maximum of 400 mg/hr.

[001095] Anti-CD20 antibodies have a known safety profile, which include infusion related reactions (IRR). Anti-CD20 antibodies, and in particular obinutuzumab, can cause severe and life threatening infusion reactions. Sequelae of the infusion reactions include patient discontinuations from antibody treatment leading to suboptimal efficacy or increased medical resource utilization, such as hospitalization for hypotension or prolonged antibody infusion time. In the initial study of obinutuzumab in

relapsed/refractory CLL patients (Cartron, et al, Blood 2014, 124, 2196), all patients (n=13) in the Phase 1 portion experienced IRRs (15% Grade 3, no Grade 4, and 100% patients experienced all grade AE), with hypotension and pyrexia the most common symptoms. In the Phase 2 portion of the study, 95% of patients developed IRR, with 60% of cases developing symptoms of hypotension; of those, 25% were Grade 3 reactions. In the pivotal trial of obinutuzumab and chlorambucil in previously untreated patients, 69% developed infusion related reactions, of which 21% were grade 3-4.

[001096] The results of the Phase lb study described in this example for Formula (XVIII) in combination with obinutuzumab for patients with relapsed/refractory or untreated CLL/SLL/PLL are as follows. 6 patients have been treated in the study to date with the combination of Formula (XVIII) and obinutuzumab. Patients are first treated with a month run-in of Formula (XVIII) alone, then on cycle 2, day 1, patients are given obinutuzumab. To date, 41 doses of obinutuzumab have been administered to 6 patients. Lymphocyte counts immediately prior to treatment with obinutuzumab have ranged from 8 to 213 107L. No cases of serious or Grade 3-4 IRRs have been reported. Only 2 patients have had obinutuzumab temporarily held for chills and arthralgias/sluured, respectively, and were able to complete the planned infusion. An additional 3 patients had adverse events within 24 hours of the infusion, all grade 1 (terms: flushing, palpitations in one patient, rash, and restlessness and headache). Consequently, there has been a substantial decrease in serious or Grade 3-4 IRRs with the one month lead-in of Formula (XVIII), which could potentially lead to higher efficacy for the combination as well as better tolerability, leading to a decrease in medical resource utilization. Example 19 - Clinical Study of a Combination of Pembrolizumab and a BTK Inhibitor in B Cell Malignancies

[001097] The use of multidrug regimens has been shown to produce higher CR rates and more durable responses, resulting in improved survival in most oncology indications. However, these benefits are often outweighed with the increased toxicity associated with multidrug regimens. This high risk-benefit ratio limits the use of many effective multidrug regimens in elderly patients or patients with comorbid conditions.

[001098] The advent of highly selective, targeted active pharmaceutical ingredients such as BTK inhibitors has changed the risk-benefit paradigm traditionally associated with cytotoxic chemotherapy regimens. For example, ibrutinib, a first-generation oral, small- molecule BTK inhibitor, has been approved for the treatment for CLL and MCL. In addition, ibrutinib has shown clinical efficacy in other NHL histologies, including FL (Advani, et al., J. Clin. Oncol. 2013, 31, 88-94), ABC-DLBCL (De Vos, et al,

Haematologica 2013, 98(sl), S1180), and in WM (Treon, et al, Blood 2013, 122, 251). Preliminary data suggests that patients with multiple myeloma (MM) with high BTK activity, as evidenced by phosphorylated Btk, may be particularly responsive to BTK inhibitor therapy (Liu, et al. , Leuk Lymphoma 2014, 55, 177-81). In preclinical studies, BTK inhibition significantly reduced MM cell growth and tumor-induced osteolysis in a murine model (Tai, et al, Blood 2012, 20, 1877-1887). Despite these significant advances, the investigation of additional treatment regimens is essential to improve outcomes in B cell malignances. A low proportion of patients achieve CR when treated with single-active pharmaceutical ingredient BTK inhibitors compared with conventional chemotherapy or chemoimmunotherapy regimens. Moreover, the median duration of response can be brief (< 12 months) in aggressive histologies.

[001099] Chemical optimization, pharmacologic characterization, and toxicologic evaluation have led to identification of Formula (XVIII), an orally bioavailable, new chemical entity that covalently inhibits BTK and shows encouraging activity and acceptable safety in nonclinical studies. Within the class of BTK inhibitors, Formula (XVIII) is a more selective inhibitor of Btk than ibrutinib. Key nonclinical differentiators of Formula (XVIII) versus ibrutinib are:

Formula (XVIII) has been evaluated against ibrutinib in epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) expressing cell lines, as described e.g. in Example 14. Ibrutinib is a potent covalent inhibitor of EGFR (EC₅₀ = 50 to 70 nM). Formula (XVIII) does not inhibit EGFR even at the highest concentration tested (10 μΜ).

Formula (XVTII) has been evaluated against ibrutinib in vitro antibody-dependent cell-mediated cytotoxicity (ADCC) assays, as described in Example 11. At physiologic concentrations, ibrutinib, but not Formula (XVTII), reduced natural killer (NK) cell-mediated lysis of Raj i and autologous CLL tumor cells and significantly inhibited rituximab-induced NK cell cytokine secretion (P < 0.05).

Formula (XVTII) has been evaluated against ibrutinib in an in vivo thrombus

formation model, as described in Example 9. At physiologic concentrations, ibrutinib, but not Formula (XVTII), significantly inhibited thrombus formation (P=0.001).

Formula (XVTII) has been evaluated against ibrutinib in standard drug metabolism and pharmacokinetics (DMPK) assays. Formula (XVTII) has greater solubility, less plasma protein binding, and better oral bioavailability than ibrutinib.

The nonclinical and toxicology results of Formula (XVTII) suggest it may have an improved therapeutic window relative to ibrutinib; it may be more readily combined with other active pharmaceutical ingredients for the treatment of cancer including monoclonal antibodies that activate effector cells.

[001100] Improved understanding of the molecular mechanisms governing the host response to tumors has led to the identification of checkpoint signaling pathways involved in limiting the anticancer immune response (Topalian, et al. , J. Clin. Oncol. 2011, 29, 4828-4836). A critical checkpoint pathway responsible for mediating tumor- induced immune suppression is the PD-1 pathway (McDermott and Atkins, Cancer Med. 2013, 2, 662-673). To determine whether there is potential synergy between Btk inhibition and PD-1 blockade, a nonclinical study of Formula (XVTII) in combination with an anti-PD-Ll antibody in an orthotopic colon cancer murine model was conducted, as described in Example 5. Treatment with anti-PD-Ll as a single active pharmaceutical ingredient reduced tumor growth, but tumor regression was not observed (see Example 5). However, combined anti-PD-Ll and Formula (XVTII) treatment showed a further reduction in tumor growth (anti-PD-Ll, 820 mm versus anti-PD-Ll /Formula (XVIII), 411 mm³) and 6 of 9 animals displayed tumor regression. These results indicate the combination therapy of BTK inhibition and PD-1 blockade leads to greater benefit compared with PD-1 blockade alone.

[001101] A significant reduction in the number of MDSCs within the tumor in mice treated with the anti-PD-Ll Formula (XVIII) combination when compared with anti-PD- 1L treatment alone (see Example 5). The decrease of MDSCs is directly related to BTK inhibition; this effect has been observed in monotherapy studies of Formula (XVIII) in murine pancreatic cancer models as described above. Together, these data implicate tumor-associated MDSCs in preventing the full benefit of immune checkpoint blockade and offer a translatable, therapeutic option by targeting the MDSC population with Formula (XVIII) to improve the efficacy of checkpoint blockade.

[001102] This proof-of-concept clinical study assesses the clinical potential of combined BTK inhibition and checkpoint blockade by evaluating the safety, PD, and efficacy of Formula (XVIII) and pembrolizumab in B-cell malignancies. This is a Phase lb/2, open- label, nonrandomized study that will be conducted in 2 parts. Part 1 of the study will determine the safety and preliminary efficacy of Formula (XVIII) and pembrolizumab and Part 2 allows for possible expansion cohorts into a wider range of B-cell

malignancies.

[001103] Part 1 : Six subjects will be enrolled to receive Formula (XVIII) in combination with pembrolizumab. If the combination is safe with < 1 dose-limiting toxicity (DLT) (6- week observation period) in the first 6 subjects, the cohort will be expanded to up to 24 subjects to obtain additional safety information and to assess the efficacy of the combination. Part 1 of the study will include adult subjects with the following disease types: Non-germinal center B-cell (non-GCB) diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL); Follicular lymphoma (FL); and CLL/small lymphocytic lymphoma (SLL).

[001104] Part 2: Part 2 consists of expansion groups of up to 12 subjects per histology provided the safety and efficacy results from Part 1 of the study indicate that further evaluation of the combination is warranted. The possible expansion groups for Part 2 may include adult subjects with the following disease types: non-GCB DLBCL, germinal center B-cell (GCB) DLBCL, Richter's syndrome, mantle cell lymphoma (MCL), indolent non-Hodgkin lymphoma (iNHL), FL, Waldenstrom macroglobulinemia (WM), CLL/SLL, multiple myeloma (MM), other B-cell malignancy (including but not limited to Hodgkin's lymphoma, Burkitt's lymphoma, marginal zone lymphomas, and hairy cell leukemia).

[001105] Treatment with Formula (XVIII) and pembrolizumab, in both Part 1 and Part 2, may be continued until disease progression or an unacceptable drug-related toxicity occurs as defined in the protocol. Combination treatment can end for subjects with confirmed CR (or stringent CR [sCR] for MM) if treatment has been administered for at least 24 weeks and 2 doses of pembrolizumab have been administered after confirmation of CR/sCR. At the end of 52 weeks of treatment, subjects who are tolerating the regimen and deriving clinical benefit may be eligible to roll over into a maintenance protocol under which they could receive Formula (XVIII) and/or pembrolizumab.

[001106] All subjects will have hematology, chemistry, and urinalysis safety panels performed at screening. Once dosing commences (Day 1), all subjects will be evaluated for safety, including serum chemistry and hematology, once weekly for the first 8 weeks and monthly thereafter. Radiologic tumor assessments will be done at screening and at 8- to 12- week intervals during the trial.

[001107] For Part 1, a DLT will be defined as the occurrence of any of the following study drug-related adverse events (note: adverse events clearly related to disease progression or the subject's current medical history and associated comorbidities will not be considered DLTs): (1) Any Grade ~ 3 non-hematologic toxicity (except Grade 3 nausea, vomiting, or diarrhea that respond to supportive therapy); (2) Any of the following hematologic toxicities: (a) Grade 4 neutropenia lasting > 7 days, (b) Grade 4 thrombocytopenia, or Grade 3 thrombocytopenia with bleeding, or any requirement for platelets transfusion, (c) Grade ~ 3 febrile neutropenia (temperature > 38.5°C), (d)Grade 4 anemia, unexplained by underlying disease; (3) Dosing delay due to toxicity for > 28 consecutive days.

[001108] The study objectives are as follows: (1) characterize the safety profile of Formula (XVIII) and pembrolizumab in subjects with relapsed or refractory B-cell malignancies; (2) evaluate the activity of Formula (XVIII) and pembrolizumab as measured by overall response rate (ORR), duration of response, progression-free survival, overall survival, and time-to-next treatment; (3) determine the effects of Formula (XVIII) plus pembrolizumab on peripheral blood T cells and myeloid-derived suppressor cells (MDSCs); (4) determine if any characteristics of peripheral blood T cells and/or MDSCs correlate with immune-mediated toxicities, (5) determine if any characteristics of peripheral blood T cells and/or MDSCs correlate with response to Formula (XVTII) and pembrolizumab, and (6) determine if any baseline tumor characteristics correlate with response to Formula (XVTII) and pembrolizumab.

[001109] The safety parameters for the study include type, frequency, severity, timing of onset, duration, and relationship to study drug of any treatment- emergent adverse events (AEs) or abnormalities of laboratory tests; serious adverse events (SAEs); and DLTs or AEs leading to discontinuation of study treatment.

[001110] The pharmacodynamic and biomarker parameters for the study are as follows. The occupancy of BTK by Formula (XVTII) will be measured in peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) and bone marrow, if available, with the aid of a biotin- tagged Formula (XVTII) analogue probe. The effect of Formula (XVTII) and

pembrolizumab on B cells, T cells, and MDSCs will also be evaluated. Tumor tissue, when available, will be evaluated for PD-L1 expression.

[001111] The efficacy parameters for the study include ORR, duration of response, progression- free survival, overall survival, and time-to-next treatment.

[001112] The sample size for part 1 is up to 24 subjects, and for part 2 is between 12 and 108 subjects.

[001113] The inclusion criteria for part 1 are:

Cancer Res. 2009, 15, 5494-5502; Hans, et al, Blood 2004, 103, 275-282); If the subject has iNHL, the histology shows 1 of the following subtypes: FL Grade 1, 2, or 3a, or CLL/SLL);

(2) Prior treatment for lymphoid malignancy (applies to Part 1 and Part 2): If the subject has DLBCL, there is no curative option with conventional therapy and the prior treatment included > 1 prior combination chemoimmunotherapy regimen (eg, anthracycline based therapy with rituximab); if the subject has MCL or iNHL, the prior treatment comprised any of the following: ~ 1 regimen containing an anti-CD20 antibody administered for > 2 doses and/or > 1 regimen containing ~ 1 cytotoxic active pharmaceutical ingredient (eg, bendamustine, chlorambucil, cyclophosphamide, cytarabine, doxorubicin) administered for ~ 2 cycles, and/or > 1 regimen containing ⁹⁰Y-ibritumomab tiuxetan (ZEVALIN) or ¹³¹I-tositumomab (BEXXAR);

(3) Presence of radiographically measurable lymphadenopathy or extranodal

lymphoid malignancy (defined as the presence of a > 2.0 cm lesion, as measured in the longest dimension by computed tomography [CT] scan). Note: not applicable to subjects with WM and MM.

(4) Absolute neutrophil count (ANC) > 1.5 x 109/L or platelet count > 100 x 10⁹/L unless due to disease involvement in the bone marrow (Part 1 only).

114] The inclusion criteria for part 2, which are in addition to the Part 1 criteria, are:

(1) DLBCL (GCB): Confirmed diagnosis of DLBCL with disease characterized as GCB subtype by immunohistochemistry (Choi, et al., Clin. Cancer Res. 2009, 15, 5494-5502; Hans, et al, Blood 2004, 103, 275-282) and meeting the rest of the criteria as defined above.

(6) Other B-cell malignancy (including but not limited to: Hodgkin's lymphoma, Burkitt's lymphoma, marginal zone lymphomas, mediastinal large B-cell lymphoma, and hairy cell leukemia): Confirmed diagnosis of previously treated B-cell malignancy and meeting the rest of the criteria as defined above.

[001115] Formula (XVIII) is provided as hard gelatin capsules for oral administration. Pembrolizumab is provided as a lyophilized powder in single-use vial for reconstitution and is administered as an intravenous infusion over 30 minutes. The regimen used in the study is: Formula (XVTII) 100 mg twice a day (BID) continuous oral dosing;

KEYTRUDA (pembrolizumab) 2 mg/kg by intravenous (IV) infusion every 3 weeks.

[001116] Descriptive statistics (including means, standard deviations, and medians for continuous variables and proportions and confidence intervals [CIs] for discrete variables) will be used to summarize data as appropriate. Depending on Part 1 and the number of expansion cohorts opened in Part 2, 6 to 132 evaluable subjects will be enrolled. In Part 1 (DLT review), enrollment of 6 subjects for DLT review is consistent with sample sizes used in oncology studies for determination of maximum tolerated dose (MTD). The trial employs the standard National Cancer Institute definition of MTD (dose associated with DLT in < 33.3% of subjects). Provided < 1 DLT occurs during the DLT review, then expansion will occur in Part 1 to include up to 24 subjects in a select group of histologies. The safety and preliminary efficacy results from Part 1 will be used to determine opening Part 2 of the protocol. In Part 2 (expansion groups), enrollment of 12 subjects per group offers the opportunity to determine if there is sufficient antitumor activity to warrant further development in the selected tumor types. An ORR of > 20% is considered the minimum value of potential interest in each of the selected indications. If 0/12 subjects in a group experience an objective response, the probability is > 0.90 that an ORR of > 20% will be excluded for that cancer (1 -sided exact binomial 90% CI upper bound=17.5%).

[001117] Results of this study were obtained after enrollment of 24 patients, including: Part 1 DLT: 7 enrolled (4 CLL and 3 folicular lymphoma patients); Part 1 expansion: 2 enrolled (2 CLL); and Part 2: 15 enrolled (5 CLL, 2 mantle cell lymphoma, 3 folicular lymphoma, 1 multiple myeloma, 1 non-GCB DLBCL, 1 gray zone lymphoma, 1

Hodgkin's lymphoma, and 1 marginal zone lymphoma patients). With 6 patients progressing past week 8, the following responses were observed: 1 partial response in a folicular lymphoma patient, 2 partial responses plus lymphocytosis in 2 CLL patients, and 3 observations of stable disease in 1 CLL patient and 2 folicular lymphoma patients. No safety concerns were noted during DLT.

Example 20 - Clinical Study of a BTK Inhibitor Alone and in Combination with

Pembrolizumab in Subjects with Advanced or Metastatic Pancreatic Cancer

[001118] In 2014, approximately 46,420 people in the United States will be diagnosed with pancreatic cancer (Siegel, et al., CA Cancer J. Clin. 64, 9-29). Because of the aggressive nature of this cancer, the annual mortality rate almost matches the incidence rate, and it is expected that -39,590 will die from this disease in the same year. For the

20% of patients with disease involving only the pancreas, surgical resection is the primary therapy. In the -80% of patients with regional disease extension or metastases at presentation, chemotherapy is the primary treatment (Tempero, et al. , J. Natl. Compr.

Cane. Netw. 2014, 12, 1083-1093). Among the therapeutic options, poly chemotherapy with infusional 5-fluorouracil (5-FU), leucovorin, irinotecan, and oxaliplatin

(FOLFIRINOX) or gemcitabine plus albumin-bound paclitaxel (nab-paclitaxel) are commonly employed (Tempero, et al., J. Natl. Compr. Cane. Netw. 2014, 12, 1083-

1093). However, because of the inherent chemoresistance of pancreatic cancer, median

PFS with these intensive regimens is < 6 months (Conroy, et al, N. Engl. J. Med. 2011,

364, 1817-25, Von Hoff, et al, N. Engl. J. Med. 2013, 369, 1691-1703). Approximately

45% of patients who receive such first-line regimens are alive and sufficiently fit to receive second-line therapy, but no therapies have been approved by the United States

Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for such patients. Despite off-label use of existing chemotherapeutic active pharmaceutical ingredients, survival at 2 years is < 10%. Thus, while antitumor benefit has been observed with such regimens, toxicity is substantial and therapeutic options are limited. Furthermore, the response rate in advanced pancreatic cancer using monotherapy with the immunotherapeutic anti-PD-1 monoclonal antibody nivolumab is 0%; no responses were observed for 14 patients with metastatic pancreatic cancer treated with nivolumab. Brahmer, et ah, N. Engl. J. Med. 2012, 366, 2455-65. Similarly, checkpoint blockade with pembrolizumab alone and ipilumumab alone have not achieved clinical responses. Many other combination studies of previously treated pancreatic adenocarcinoma patients have also reported response rates of 0%, such as a combination study of capecitabine and the oral mTOR inhibitor everolimus. Kordes, et ah, Cancer Chemother. Pharmacol. 2015, 75, 1135-41. Novel, more efficacious, and less toxic approaches are desperately needed for this lethal cancer, particularly in patients who experience failure of existing first-line therapies.

[001119] The importance of pancreatic cancer stroma in the biology of pancreatic cancer has been increasingly recognized (Feig, et ah, Clin. Cancer Res. 2012, 18, 4266-76, Rucki, et al., World J. Gastroenterol. 2014, 20, 2237-46, Wilson, et ah, Front Physiol. 2014, 5, 52). Pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma exists in a complex desmoplastic microenvironment that provides stromal support for tumor growth and conceals the tumor from immune surveillance. Tumor-associated stroma comprises a mix of fibroblasts (pancreatic stellate cells) and an abundance of mast cells, immunosuppressive Tregs, MDSCs, and TAMs that promote tumor growth and restrain immunologically mediated tumor cell killing (Shibuya, et ah, PLoS One 2014, 9, e96565). Pancreatic cancers secrete chemokines that recruit immune cells to the tumor site. These immune cells are then activated either by direct contact or by cancer cell-derived triggers to selectively release "procancer" mediators (Feig, et al, Clin. Cancer Res. 2012, 18, 4266-76, Ma, et ah, Cancer Immunol. Immunother. 2014, 63, 247-57). These mediators induce angiogenesis, promote tumor proliferation, inhibit antitumor responses, and alter the surrounding stroma to permit metastases. Treatment of tumor-bearing mice with active pharmaceutical ingredients that block immunocyte migration and function has been shown to decrease the growth of pancreatic cancer (Ma, et al, Cancer Immunol.

Immunother. 2014, 63, 247-57; Shibuya, et al, PLoS One 2014, 9, e96565).

[001120] Several negative regulatory checkpoint molecules function to check

overstimulation of immune responses and contribute to the maintenance of immune tolerance to self-antigens (McDermott and Atkins, Cancer Med. 2013, 2, 662-673). These molecules include cytotoxic T-lymphocyte antigen-4 (CTLA-4), as well as the programmed death (PD)-l receptor and its ligands (PD-L1 and PD-L2). CTLA-4 acts as a signal dampener, largely within the lymph nodes, to regulate the magnitude of early activation of naive and memory T cells. By contrast, PD-1 is induced on T cells after activation in response to inflammatory signals and limits T-cell function at sites of infection or tumor in peripheral tissues. As the T-cell response progresses, these negative regulatory molecules are induced, limiting the magnitude and duration of the response to prevent healthy tissue damage. Tumors are capable of exploiting the homeostatic mechanisms regulated by these checkpoint molecules, thus limiting immune destruction.

[001121] Such checkpoint pathways appear to be operative in pancreatic cancer.

Immunohistochemistry analyses have indicated a significantly worse prognosis for patients with PD-Ll -positive pancreatic cancer than for those with PD-Ll -negative tumors (Nomi, et ah, Clin. Cancer Res. 2007, 13, 2151-57; Loos, et al, Cancer Lett. 2008, 268, 98-109). These data have been corroborated in murine pancreatic cancer models in which genetic engineered cells expressing high or low levels of PD-Ll showed hyperproliferative or hypoproliferative phenotypes, respectively (Song, et al, Oncol. Rep. 2014, 31, 1191-98). In human cancers, a positive correlation between PD-Ll expression and Treg infiltration (Loos, et al., Cancer Lett. 2008, 268, 98-109), and an inverse correlation between PD-Ll expression and cytotoxic T lymphocyte infiltration (Nomi, et al, Clin. Cancer Res. 2007, 13, 2151-57) has been reported. Among clinical subjects, PD-Ll tumor expression has been associated with response to therapeutic anti- PD-1 blockade (Taube, et al, Clin. Cancer Res. 2014, 20, 5064-74). Evaluation of intratumoral T cells in pancreatic cancer has shown that the majority expressed PD-1 (Shibuya, et al, PLoS One 2014, 9, e96565), further supporting the concept that pancreatic cancer evades antitumor immunity via PD-Ll /PD-1 signaling in the stroma.

[001122] BTK is expressed among cells of hematopoietic origin, including B cells, myeloid cells, mast cells and platelets, where it regulates multiple cellular processes including proliferation, differentiation, apoptosis, and cell migration (Khan, Immunol. Res. 2001, 23, 147-156; Mohamed, et al, Immunol. Rev. 2009, 228, 58-73; Bradshaw, Cell Signal. 2010, 22, 1175-84). In addition, BTK-dependent activation of mast cells, myeloid cells and other immunocytes in peritumoral inflammatory stroma has been shown to sustain the complex microenvironment needed for lymphoid and solid tumor maintenance (Soucek, et al. , Neoplasia 2011, 13, 1093-1100, Ponader, et al, Blood 2012, 119, 1182-1 189, de Rooij, et al, Blood 2012, 119, 2590-4).

[001123] In model systems, ex vivo analyses demonstrated BTK inhibition results in macrophages that polarize into Ml macrophages, instead of showing enhanced induction of immunosuppressive M2 macrophages (Ni Gabhann, et al, PLoS One 2014, 9, e85834). These data suggest inhibition of BTK may impair the capacity of tumor- associated macrophages critical for promotion of tumor invasion and metastasis

(Mouchemore, et al., FEBSJ. 2013, 280, 5228-5236). Several lines of evidence demonstrate BTK inhibition interferes with cross-talk between malignant cells and their microenvironment, suggesting disruption of intrinsic and extrinsic survival signals may be a critical mechanism for the clinical activity of BTK inhibitors (Ponader, et al. , Blood 2012, 119, 1 182-89, Herman, et al, Leukemia 2013, 27, 2311 -21). Furthermore, epithelial derived tumors contain large numbers of TAMs, which are the dominant innate immune cell in mammary cancers of humans (Pollard, Nat. Rev. Immunol. 2009, 9, 259- 270).

[001124] BTK is also a signaling hub in immature myeloid cells known as MDSCs (Schmidt, et al., Int. Arch. Allergy Immunol. 2004, 134, 65-78). Recent evidence suggests MDSC play an important part in suppression of host immune responses through several mechanisms such as production of arginase 1, release of reactive oxygen species, nitric oxide and secretion of immune-suppressive cytokines. This leads to an

immunosuppressive environment necessary for the growth of malignant cells

(Wesolowski, et al., J. Immunother. Cancer 2013, 1, 10).

[001125] Immune evasion is one of the multiple characteristics of cancer. Monoclonal antibodies that block negative regulators of T cells, such as PD-1 , amplify immune responses. Antibodies against PD-1 are showing impressive results in advanced hematologic and solid malignancies (Hamid, et al. , N. Engl. J. Med. 2013, 369, 134-44; Westin, et al., Lancet Oncol. 2014, 15, 69-77; Berger, et al., Clin. Cancer Res. 2008, 14, 3044-51 ; Topalian, et al, J. Clin. Oncol. 2014, 32, 1020-30). Studies examining circulating MDSCs in anti-CTL4 and anti-PD-l/PD-Ll -treated patients have shown that alterations in the myeloid cell compartment correlate with clinical outcome. Specifically, solid tumor progressors had proportionally higher circulating MDSC levels and a high myeloid gene signature (Powles, et al, J. Clin. Oncol. 2014, 32, 5s (suppl; abstr 5011); Heery, et ah, J. Clin. Oncol. 2014, 32, 5s (suppl; abstr 3064); Weide, et al, Clin. Cancer Res. 2014, 20, 1601-09). Recent preclinical results show elevated MDSC levels are responsible for this lack of response (Highfill, et ah, Sci. Transl. Med. 2014, 6, 237ra67; Kim, et al, Proc. Nat l. Acad. Sci. USA, 2014, 111, 11774-79).

[001126] Given the potential for BTK inhibition to affect TAMs and MDSCs, single- active pharmaceutical ingredient Formula (XVIII) was evaluated in mice with advanced pancreatic cancer arising as the result of genetic modifications of oncogenes KRAS and p53, and the pancreatic differentiation promoter PDX-1 (KPC mice), as described in Example 10. Similar single-active pharmaceutical ingredient activity was also observed with Formula (XVIII) (15 mg/kg BID) in the ID8 syngeneic orthotopic ovarian model described in Example 6, where a substantial decrease of tumor growth was observed compared with vehicle. This antitumor effect correlated with a significant decrease in immunosuppressor cells and an increase in cytolytic T cells similar to the KPC pancreatic model. The activity of Formula (XVTQ) was confirmed in an orthotopic mouse model evaluating both single-active pharmaceutical ingredient and combination efficacy (see Examples 8 and 9).

[001127] The study design is as follows. The clinical trial is a Phase 2, multicenter, open-label, randomized study evaluating Formula (XVQI) monotherapy and the combination of Formula (XVIII) and pembrolizumab in subjects who have advanced or metastatic pancreatic cancer. Subjects meeting the eligibility criteria for the study will be randomized 1 : 1 to one of the following arms: Arm 1 : Formula (XVTQ) 100 mg administered orally (PO) twice per day (BID) Arm 2: Formula (XVIII) 100 mg PO BID plus pembrolizumab 200 mg administered as an intravenous (IV) infusion every 3 weeks (Q3W). Although Formula (XVQI) has not demonstrated any dose limiting toxicities (DLTs) to date, the safety of Formula (XVQI) in combination with pembrolizumab in this patient population will be assessed and standard DLT criteria will be applied to Arm 2 of the study. Therefore an interim safety analysis will occur once 12 subjects (6 subjects per arm) have been successfully randomized and have been treated a minimum of 6 weeks. Enrollment will be paused while the safety interim analysis occurs. If < 1 DLT is observed in Arm 2, then randomization will continue to evaluate the objective response rates of Formula (XVIII) monotherapy and the combination of pembrolizumab and Formula (XVIII) (i.e., up to 38 subjects per arm). If > 2 DLTs are observed in Arm 2, then enrollment will continue until an additional 6 subjects are randomized to Arm 2, but with a reduced dose level for Formula (XVIII) (Level -1). If the DLT review is cleared in those additional 6 subjects in Arm 2 then continued enrollment will occur at Level -1 for the combination arm. If > 2 DLTs are observed in Arm 2 at Level -1, then an additional 6 subjects will be randomized at Level -2 and assessed for DLTs. If the DLT review is cleared, continued enrollment will occur at Level -2 for the combination arm. If the DLT review is not cleared, enrollment will be halted in Arm 2. In addition, analyses for futility and toxicity will also be done. Treatment can continue for up to 52 weeks for subjects who are tolerating therapy and not progressing. Subjects who have confirmed progressive disease on the combination of pembrolizumab and Formula (XVIII) will come off study while those in the Formula (XVIII) monotherapy arm with confirmed progressive disease will continue on Formula (XVIII) (dose may be reduced depending on DLT review of combination arm) with the addition of pembrolizumab until a second disease progression. Treatment can end for subjects with confirmed complete response (CR) if treatment has been administered for at least 24 weeks and, for subjects receiving pembrolizumab, 2 doses of pembrolizumab have been administered after confirmation of CR. At the end of 52 weeks of treatment, subjects who are tolerating the regimen and deriving clinical benefit may be eligible to roll over into a maintenance protocol under which they could receive Formula (XVIII) and/or pembrolizumab.

[001128] A DLT will be defined as the occurrence of any of the following study drug- related adverse events (AEs) (note: AEs clearly related to disease progression or the subject's current medical history and associated comorbidities will not be considered DLTs): (1) Grade 4 vomiting or diarrhea; (2) Grade 3 nausea, vomiting, or diarrhea lasting for > 72 hours; (3) Other Grade > 3 toxicities; (4) Dosing delay due to toxicity for > 21 consecutive days.

[001129] The objectives of the study are as follows: (1) to characterize the safety profile of Formula (XVIII) and pembrolizumab in subjects with advanced or metastatic pancreatic cancer; (2) to evaluate the efficacy of Formula (XVIII) monotherapy and Formula (XVIII) and pembrolizumab combination treatment in subjects with advanced or metastatic pancreatic cancer using standard response criteria; (3) to determine the effects of Formula (XVIII) alone and Formula (XVTII) plus pembrolizumab on peripheral blood T cells and MDSCs; (4) to determine if any characteristics of peripheral blood T cells and/or MDSCs correlate with immune-mediated toxicities; (5) to determine if any characteristics of peripheral blood T cells and/or MDSCs correlate with response to Formula (XVTII) alone or Formula (XVTII) and pembrolizumab; (6) to determine if any baseline tumor characteristics correlate with response to Formula (XVTII) alone or Formula (XVTII) and pembrolizumab; (7) to evaluate the efficacy of adding

pembrolizumab to Formula (XVIII) in subjects who progress on Formula (XVIII) monotherapy.

[001130] Safety endpoints and pharmacodynamic and biomarker parameters are as in Example 18.

[001131] Efficacy endpoints are as follows: (1) disease control rate (DCR) defined as stable disease (SD), partial response (PR) or CR based on modified RECIST 1.1 criteria; (2) ORR, defined as PR or CR based on modified RECIST 1.1 criteria; (3) Duration of response (DOR); (4) Progression-free survival (PFS); (5) Overall survival (OS); (6) Change in serum cancer antigen 19-9 (CA19-9). Exploratory endpoints for efficacy based on immune-related response criteria (irRC) are: (1) Immune-related DCR (irDCR), defined as immune-related SD (irSD), immune-related PR (irPR), and immune-related CR (lrCR); (2) irORR, defined as irPR and nCR; (3) lrDOR; (4) lrPFS.

[001132] Sample size is as follows: Interim safety analysis (DLT review): 12 subjects (6 subjects receiving Formula (XVTII) monotherapy and 6 subjects receiving Formula (XVTII) and pembrolizumab combination). Provided the DLT period is cleared in the combination arm and neither arm is stopped early due to futility or toxicity, the study will proceed to full enrollment of 38 subjects per arm for a total enrollment of 76 subjects.

[001133] Formula (XVTII) is provided as hard gelatin capsules for oral administration. KEYTRUDA (pembrolizumab) is provided as a lyophilized powder in single-use vial for reconstitution. It is administered as an IV infusion over 30 minutes. The dosing regimen for Arm 1 is 100 mg BID of Formula (XVTII). The dosing regimen for Arm 2 is s starting dose of 100 mg BID Formula (XVTII) and 200 mg of pembrolizumab every three weeks, a Level -1 dose of 100 mg QD Formula (XVIII) and 200 mg of pembrolizumab every three weeks, and a Level -2 dose of 100 mg BID Formula (XVIII) and 200 mg of pembrolizumab every three weeks.

[001134] The statistical methods used in the study use the following analysis methods. Descriptive statistics (including means, standard deviations, and medians for continuous variables and proportions and confidence intervals [CIs] for discrete variables) will be used to summarize data as appropriate. The statistical basis for the sample size is as follows. For the safety interim analysis (DLT review), enrollment of 6 subjects in the combination arm for DLT review is consistent with sample sizes used in oncology studies for determination of maximum tolerated dose (MTD). The trial employs the standard National Cancer Institute definition of MTD (dose associated with DLT in < 17% of subjects). Provided < 1 DLT occurs during the DLT review in the combination arm, then up to 32 subjects will be added per arm. The sample size for this study was estimated based on the primary endpoint of DCR (SD, PR, CR). In a Phase 2 trial of oxaliplatin plus capecitabine as second line therapy for patients with advanced pancreatic cancer, a DCR of 28% was observed (Xiong, et al, Cancer 2008, 113, 2046-2052). To reject the null hypothesis of 28% DCR in favor of an alternative hypothesis that the DCR is < 5%, approximately 36 subjects per arm will preserve at least 80% power to detect the difference at a 0.05 level of significance by 2-sided chi-square test. The study will enroll up to 38 subjects per arm to account for up to 2 drop outs per arm. Should the necessary condition of minimum cell counts for a valid chi-square test fail to exist, an exact test will be employed to perform the comparison analysis of the primary endpoint.

[001135] Preliminary results of the study are based on response assessments reported by the investigators. A total 58 patients have received study drug(s) (26 patients in the monotherapy arm and 32 patients in the combination arm). 92% and 75% of patients in the monotherapy and combination therapy arms, respectively, were assessed with stage 4 disease. The median number of prior treatments was 2. No DLTs occurred. Grade 3-4 events that occurred in > 2 patients on the monotherapy arm were dehydration (12%), anemia (8%), and hypotension (8%) and on the combination arm were anemia (9%), increased ALT (6%), and abdominal pain (6%). No Grade 4-5 treatment-related events were reported in > 2 patients. A total of 43 patients (20 patients in the monotherapy arm and 23 patients in the combination arm) were evaluable for response. In the monotherapy arm, 4 patients with stable disease (SD) were reported. In the combination arm, 3 patients with partial responses (2 PRs, 1 PRu (partial response, unconfirmed)) and 5 patients with SD were reported. The median time on study for the patients with PR/PRu is 4.7 months (range 2.4-5.1). The combination of Formula (XVTII) and pembrolizumab has a favorable benefit/risk profile and shows encouraging preliminary results for antitumor activity in an advanced metastatic pancreatic cancer population.

Example 21 - Clinical Study of a Combination of a BTK Inhibitor and Pembrolizumab in Subjects with Platinum-Refractory Metastatic Bladder Cancer

[001136] In 2014, approximately 141,610 people in the United States will be diagnosed with urothelial carcinoma of the bladder, renal pelvis, or ureter (Siegel, et al, CA Cancer J. Clin. 2014, 64, 9-29). Although many newly diagnosed patients have localized disease, urothelial carcinoma is often fatal for those diagnosed with metastatic disease. Approximately 30,350 people are anticipated to die from this disease in 2014. In most patients with localized disease, treatment includes localized excision with transurethral resection of bladder tumor (TURBT) and intravesicular Bacillus Calmette Guerin (BCG) infusions (Martyn-Hemphill, et al, Int. J. Surg. 2013, 11, 749-52). In the -30% of patients who develop metastatic disease, chemotherapy with a platinum-based regimen is the primary treatment (Gartrell and Sonpavde, Expert Opin. Emerg. Drugs, 2013, 18, 477-94). Current standard of care first-line therapy includes combination chemotherapy with cisplatin or carboplatin with gemcitabine, or the combination of methotrexate, vinblastine, adriamycin, and cisplatin (MVAC). However, because of the inherent chemoresistance of bladder cancer, median progression-free survival (PFS) with these chemotherapy regimens is approximately 7.4 months (Von der Maase, et ah, J. Clin. Oncol. 2000, 17, 3068-3077). The addition of paclitaxel to gemcitabine/cisplatin has improved PFS to 8.3 months (Bellmunt, et al., J. Clin. Oncol. 2012, 30, 1107-1113). Currently, second-line therapies are limited, and no therapies have been approved by the United States Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for patients who survive to undergo second-line treatment. Survival at 2 years is therefore < 20% (Bellmunt, et al., J. Clin. Oncol. 2012, 30, 1107-1113). Thus, while antitumor benefit has been observed with such regimens, toxicity is substantial and therapeutic options are limited. Novel, less toxic approaches are needed for metastatic, platinum-refractory urothelial carcinoma.

[001137] The importance of the stroma in urothelial carcinoma has been increasingly recognized (Van der Horst, et al., Mol. Cancer Res. 2012, 10, 995-1009), particularly in its role in tumor progression and formation of metastases. Several stromal-changing growth factors, such as FGF2, VEGF, PDGF, EGFR ligands, and TGF-13 are important in mediating tumor progression, supporting tumor associated fibroblasts in urinary bladder tumor specimens (Enkelmann, et ah, J. Cancer Res. Clin. Oncol. 2011, 137, 751- 759). Tumor-associated fibroblasts have also shown increased populations in invasive bladder tumors and not in superficial bladder tumors, thus associating with muscle invasion and formation of metastases (Alexa, et ah, Rom. J. Morphol. Embryol. 2009, 50, 639-643). Furthermore, tumor-associated macrophages have been shown to mediate (Onita, et ah, Clin. Cancer Res. 2002, 8, 471 -480). The TGF-13 mediator is also known to shift macrophages from an Ml antitumor phenotype to an M2 protumor phenotype, leading to remodeling of the microenvironment, angiogenesis, and epithelial plasticity (Fuxe, et al., Semin. Cancer Biol. 2012, 22, 455-461). In summary, urothelial carcinoma exists in a complex desmoplastic microenvironment providing stromal support for tumor growth, resembling wound healing, thus increasing motility, invasion, and angiogenesis.

[001138] Such checkpoint pathways appear to be operative in urothelial carcinoma. Immunohistochemistry analyses have shown PD-Ll positivity is associated with increased staging, high-grade tumors, and tissue-infiltrating mononuclear cells in urothelial carcinoma (Inman, et al. , Cancer 2007, 109, 1499-1505). In a series of 318 patients with urothelial carcinoma, PD-Ll and PD-1 expression were associated with advanced disease, and PD-Ll expression independently predicted for mortality (Boorjian, et al., Clin. Cancer Res. 2008, 14, 4800-08). PD-Ll expression may protect cancer cells from immune- mediated destruction. In a clinical study of subjects with urothelial carcinoma evaluating the efficacy of an anti -PD-Ll antibody, high expression of PD-Ll in tumor-infiltrating immune cells correlated with a higher overall response rate (ORR, 40% to 50%) compared with an ORR of 13% and 8% for low PD-Ll or no PD-Ll expression (Powles, et al., J. Clin. Oncol. 2Q\4, 32, 5s(suppl; abstr 5011)). In a clinical study of the anti -PD-1 monoclonal antibody, pembrolizumab, in subjects with recurrent or metastatic urothelial carcinoma, a 24% ORR, including 10% complete response (CR) rate, was observed across the 33 subjects treated. Analysis of the relationship between PD-L1 expression and pembrolizumab efficacy was pending (Plimack, et ah, "A phase IB study of pembrolizumab in patients with advanced urothelial tract cancer," 2014 ESMO Annual Meeting).

[001139] The preclinical rationale for use of a combination of a BTK inhibitor and a PD-

1 or PD-L1 inhibitor in solid tumor cancers is discussed in Example 19 and in the other examples provided herein.

[001140] This proof-of-concept study will assess the clinical potential of a targeted dual inhibition approach by evaluating the safety, pharmacodynamics (PD), and efficacy of Formula (XVIII) and pembrolizumab in subjects with metastatic urothelial carcinoma who have progressed after treatment with cisplatin-based chemotherapy. This clinical trial is a Phase 2, multicenter, open-label, randomized study evaluating pembrolizumab monotherapy and the combination of Formula (XVIII) and pembrolizumab in subjects who have metastatic bladder cancer with disease progression on or after platinum-based chemotherapy. Subjects meeting the eligibility criteria for the study will be randomized 1 : 1 to one of the following arms: Arm 1 : Pembrolizumab 200 mg administered as an intravenous (IV) infusion every 3 weeks (Q3W); Arm 2: Formula (XVIII) 100 mg administered orally (PO) twice per day (BID) plus pembrolizumab 200 mg IV Q3W.

[001141] Although Formula (XVIII) has not demonstrated any dose-limiting toxicities (DLTs) to date, the safety of Formula (XVIII) in combination with pembrolizumab in this patient population needs to be assessed. Thus, standard DLT criteria will be applied to Arm 2 of the study. Therefore an interim safety analysis will occur once 12 subjects (6 subjects per arm) have been successfully randomized and have been treated a minimum of 6 weeks. Enrollment will be paused while the safety interim analysis occurs. I f ~ 1 DLT is observed in Arm 2 (i.e., DLT review is cleared), then randomization will continue to evaluate the objective response rates of Formula (XVIII) monotherapy and the combination of pembrolizumab and Formula (XVIII) (i.e., up to 37 subjects per arm). If -

2 DLTs are observed in Arm 2, then enrollment (1 : 1) will continue until an additional 6 subjects are randomized to Arm 2, but with a reduced dose level for Formula (XVIII) (Level -1). If the DLT review is cleared in those additional 6 subjects in Arm 2 then continued enrollment will occur at Level -1 for the combination arm. If ~ 2 DLTs are observed in Arm 2 at Level -1, then an additional 6 subjects will be randomized at Level - 2 and assessed for DLTs. If the DLT review is cleared, continued enrollment will occur at Level -2 for the combination arm. If the DLT review is not cleared, enrollment will be halted in Arm 2.

[001142] Treatment can continue for up to 52 weeks for subjects who are tolerating therapy and not progressing. Subjects who have confirmed progressive disease on the combination of pembrolizumab and Formula (XVIII) will come off study while those with confirmed progressive disease in the pembrolizumab monotherapy arm will continue on pembrolizumab with the addition of Formula (XVTII) until a second disease progression. Treatment can end for subjects with confirmed complete response (CR) if treatment has been administered for at least 24 weeks and 2 doses of pembrolizumab have been administered after confirmation of CR. At the end of 52 weeks of treatment, subjects who are tolerating the regimen and deriving clinical benefit may be eligible to roll over into a maintenance protocol under which they could receive Formula (XVIII) and/or pembrolizumab.

[001143] For assessment of the first 12 subjects randomized, DLT will be defined as the occurrence of any of the following study drug-related adverse events (note: adverse events clearly related to disease progression or the subject's current medical history and associated comorbidities will not be considered DLTs): (1) Any Grade ~ 3 toxicity (except Grade 3 nausea, vomiting, or diarrhea that respond to supportive therapy); (2) Dosing delay due to toxicity for > 21 consecutive days.

[001144] The study objectives are as follows: (1) to characterize the safety profile of Formula (XVTII) and pembrolizumab in subjects with metastatic, platinum-refractory bladder cancer; (2) to determine the overall response rate (ORR) of pembrolizumab monotherapy and the combination of Formula (XVTII) and pembrolizumab in subjects with metastatic, platinum-refractory bladder cancer; (3) to determine progression- free survival (PFS) in subjects treated with pembrolizumab monotherapy and the combination of Formula (XVTII) and pembrolizumab; (4) to evaluate the overall survival (OS) in subjects treated with pembrolizumab monotherapy and the combination of Formula (XVIII) and pembrolizumab; (5) to determine the effects of Formula (XVIII) plus pembrolizumab on peripheral blood T cells and myeloid-derived suppressor cells (MDSCs); (6) determine if any characteristics of peripheral blood T cells and/or MDSCs correlate with immune-mediated toxicities; (7) determine if any characteristics of peripheral blood T cells and/or MDSCs correlate with response to Formula (XVIII) and pembrolizumab; (8) determine if any baseline tumor characteristics correlate with response to Formula (XVIII) and pembrolizumab; and (9) to evaluate the efficacy of adding Formula (XVIII) to pembrolizumab in subjects who progress on pembrolizumab monotherapy.

[001145] Safety endpoints and pharmacodynamic and biomarker parameters are as in Example 18. Efficacy endpoints are as in Example 19.

[001146] The sample size is as follows: Interim safety analysis (DLT review): 12 subjects (6 subjects receiving pembrolizumab monotherapy and 6 subjects receiving Formula (XVIII) and pembrolizumab combination). Provided the DLT period is cleared in the combination arm, the study will proceed to full enrollment of 37 subjects per arm for a total enrollment of 74 subjects.

[001147] The dosing regimen and routes of administration for Formula (XVIII) and pembrolizumab are as in Example 19.

[001148] The statistical methods are as follows. Descriptive statistics (including means, standard deviations, and medians for continuous variables and proportions and confidence intervals [CIs] for discrete variables) will be used to summarize data as appropriate. The statistical basis for the sample size is as follows. For the safety interim analysis (DLT review), enrollment of 6 subjects in the combination arm for DLT review is consistent with sample sizes used in oncology studies for determination of maximum tolerated dose (MTD). The trial employs the standard National Cancer Institute definition of MTD (dose associated with DLT in ~ 17% of subjects). Provided ~ 1 DLT occurs during the DLT review in the combination arm, then up to 31 subjects will be added per arm. A sample size for a 2-arm pick-the-winner, non-comparative trial was determined by a Z-test for normal approximation of binomial distribution, based on one-sided a = 0.05, 80% power, with projected response rates of 40% in pembrolizumab/Formula (XVni) arm and 18% in pembrolizumab arm. Accounting for 10% drop-out rate (3 in each arm), final sample size is 37 in each arm.

Example 22 - Clinical Study of a Combination of a BTK Inhibitor and Pembrolizumab in Subjects with Advanced Head and Neck Squamous Cell Carcinoma

[001149] Head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC) is the sixth most common cancer worldwide; approximately 600,000 new cases are diagnosed per year worldwide

(International Agency for Research on Cancer. World Health Organisation. Globocan

2012: Estimated cancer incidence, mortality and prevalence worldwide in 2012). While early stage disease may be treated with a single modality such as surgery or RT, most patients (60%) present with Stage III/IV poor prognosis disease (Seiwert, et ah, Nat. Clin.

Pract. Oncol. 2007, 4, 156-171). These patients are generally treated with a combination of RT, surgery, and cytotoxic or targeted chemotherapy. Despite this aggressive multimodal treatment, most patients will relapse. The survival rates for all patients with

HNSCC are approximately 40% to 60% at 5 years (Gregoire, et ah, Ann. Oncol. 2010,

21, 184-186). While the addition of cetuximab, an immunoglobulin Gl (IgGl) monoclonal antibody targeting the epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR), improves

OS when combined with RT or chemotherapy (median OS is 10.1 months for the combination of cisplatin or carboplatin with 5-fluorouracil and cetuximab), few patients will benefit from anti-EGFR monoclonal antibodies, and the objective response rate in monotherapy is between 6% and 13% (Bonner, et ah, Lancet Oncol. 2010, 11, 21-28;

Machiels, et ah, Lancet Oncol. 2011, 12 ,333-343; Vermorken, et ah, N. Engl. J. Med.

2008, 359, 1116-1127; Vermorken, et ah, Cancer 2008, 112, 2710-2709). Based on recent developments in HNSCC molecular biology, new compounds are currently being investigated including immune checkpoint inhibitors (Schmitz, et ah, Cancer Treat. Rev.

2014, 40, 390-404).

[001150] Over half of solid tumors (including HNSCC, lung cancer, melanoma, renal cell carcinoma, pancreatic cancer, ovarian cancer, and others) express PD-L1 in the tumor microenvironment which results in immune tolerance and impaired immune response against the tumor (Zou and Chen, Nat. Rev. Immunol. 2008, 8, 467-77). Additionally, PD-L1 expression in the tumor microenvironment has been shown to be a poor prognostic factor in several cancers (Pardoll, Nat. Rev. Cancer 2012, 12, 252-264). In a clinical study of the anti-PD-1 monoclonal antibody, pembrolizumab, in subjects with advanced unresectable HNSCC (N=60), a 20% ORR was observed with response lasting up to 41 weeks (Chow, et ah, ESMO 2014 Abstract LB A31). Pembrolizumab was well tolerated with few serious drug-related AEs (Seiwert, et ah, Nat. Clin. Pract. Oncol. 2007, 4 156-171).

[001151] The clinical study is a Phase 2, multicenter, open-label, randomized study evaluating pembrolizumab monotherapy and the combination of Formula (XVIII) and pembrolizumab in subjects who have recurrent, metastatic or unresectable HNSCC. Subjects meeting the eligibility criteria for the study will be randomized 1 : 1 to one of the following arms: Arm 1 : Pembrolizumab 200 mg administered as an intravenous (IV) infusion every 3 weeks (Q3W); Arm 2: Formula (XVTII) 100 mg administered orally (PO) twice per day (BID) plus pembrolizumab 200 mg IV Q3W. Although Formula (XVTII) has not demonstrated any dose-limiting toxicity (DLT) to date, the safety of Formula (XVTII) in combination with pembrolizumab in this patient population needs to be assessed. Thus, standard DLT criteria will be applied to Arm 2 of the study. An interim safety analysis will occur once 12 subjects (6 subjects per arm) have been successfully randomized and have been treated a minimum of 6 weeks. Enrollment will be paused while the safety interim analysis occurs. If < 1 DLT is observed in Arm 2 (i.e., DLT review is cleared), then randomization will continue to evaluate the objective response rates of pembrolizumab monotherapy and the combination of pembrolizumab and Formula (XVTII) (i.e., up to 37 subjects per arm). If > 2 DLTs are observed in Arm 2, then enrollment (1 : 1) will continue until an additional 6 subjects are randomized to Arm 2, but with a reduced dose level for Formula (XVTII) (Level -1). If the DLT review is cleared in those additional 6 subjects in Arm 2 then continued enrollment will occur at Level -1 for the combination arm. If > 2 DLTs are observed in Arm 2 at Level -1, then an additional 6 subjects will be randomized at Level -2 and assessed for DLTs. If the DLT review is cleared, continued enrollment will occur at Level -2 for the combination arm. If the DLT review is not cleared, enrollment will be halted in Arm 2. In addition, analyses for futility and toxicity will also be done as outlined in 5.5. Treatment can continue for up to 52 weeks for subjects who are tolerating therapy and have not developed disease progression. Subjects who have confirmed progressive disease on the combination of pembrolizumab and Formula (XVIII) will come off study while those with confirmed progressive disease in the pembrolizumab monotherapy arm will continue on

pembrolizumab with the addition of Formula (XVIII) until a second disease progression is observed. Treatment will end for subjects with confirmed complete response (CR) once treatment has been administered for at least 24 weeks and 2 doses of

pembrolizumab have been administered after confirmation of CR.

[001152] DLT will be defined as the occurrence of any of the following study drug- related adverse events (AEs): (1) any Grade > 3 toxicity (note: AEs clearly related to disease progression or the subject's current medical history and associated comorbidities will not be considered DLTs); (2) dosing delay due to toxicity for > 28 consecutive days.

[001153] The objectives of the study are as follows: (1) to characterize the safety and tolerability of Formula (XVIII) in combination with pembrolizumab in subjects with recurrent, metastatic or unresectable FINSCC; (2) to determine the overall response rate (ORR) of pembrolizumab monotherapy and the combination of Formula (XVIII) and pembrolizumab in subjects with recurrent, metastatic or unresectable FINSCC; (3) to determine progression-free survival (PFS) in subjects treated with pembrolizumab monotherapy and the combination of Formula (XVIII) and pembrolizumab; (4) to evaluate the overall survival (OS) in subjects treated with pembrolizumab monotherapy and the combination of Formula (XVIII) and pembrolizumab; (5) to determine the effects of Formula (XVIII) plus pembrolizumab on peripheral blood T cells and myeloid-derived suppressor cells (MDSCs); (6) to determine if any characteristics of peripheral blood T cells and/or MDSCs correlate with immune-mediated toxicities; (7) to determine if any characteristics of peripheral blood T cells and/or MDSCs correlate with response to Formula (XVIII) and pembrolizumab; (8) to determine if any baseline tumor

characteristics correlate with response to Formula (XVIII) and pembrolizumab; and (9) to evaluate the efficacy of adding Formula (XVIII) to pembrolizumab in subjects who progress on pembrolizumab monotherapy.

[001154] Safety endpoints and pharmacodynamic and biomarker parameters are as in Example 18.

[001155] Efficacy endpoints are as follows: (1) ORR, defined as partial response (PR) and CR, based on modified RECIST 1.1 criteria; (2) duration of response (DOR); (3) PFS; (4) OS. Exploratory endpoints for efficacy based on immune-related response criteria (irRC) are: (1) Immune-related ORR (irORR), defined as immune-related partial response (irPR) and immune-related complete response (irCR); (2) Immune-related duration of response (irDOR); (3) Immune-related progression-free survival (irPFS).

[001156] Interim safety analysis (DLT review): 12 subjects (6 subjects receiving pembrolizumab monotherapy and 6 subjects receiving Formula (XVTII) and

pembrolizumab combination). Provided the DLT period is cleared in the combination arm and neither arm is stopped early due to futility or toxicity, the study will proceed to full enrollment of 37 subjects per arm for a total enrollment of 74 subjects.

[001157] The dosing regimen and routes of administration for Formula (XVTII) and pembrolizumab are as in Example 19.

[001158] The statistical methods are as follows. Descriptive statistics (including means, standard deviation [SD], and medians for continuous variables and proportions and confidence intervals [CIs] for discrete variables) will be used to summarize data as appropriate. For the safety interim analysis (DLT review), enrollment of 6 subjects in the combination arm for DLT review is consistent with sample sizes used in oncology studies for determination of maximum tolerated dose (MTD). The trial employs the standard National Cancer Institute definition of MTD (dose associated with DLT in < 17% of subjects). Provided < 1 DLT occurs during the DLT review in the combination arm and the study is not stopped early due to futility or toxicity, then up to 31 subjects will be added per arm. A sample size for a 2-arm pick-the-winner, non-comparative trial was determined by a Z-test for normal approximation of binomial distribution, based on onesided a = 0.05, 80% power, with projected response rates of 40% in the pembrolizumab and Formula (XVTII) arm and 18% in the pembrolizumab arm. Accounting for 10% drop-out rate (3 in each arm), the final sample size is 37 in each arm.

Example 23 - BTK Inhibitory Effects on MDSCs in the Solid Tumor Microenvironment

[001159] A molecular probe assay was used to calculate the percent irreversible occupancy of total BTK. MDSCs were purified from tumor bearing PDA mice (as described previously) dosed at 15 mg/kg BID of Formula (XVTII). Complete BTK occupancy is observed for both the granulocytic and monocytic MDSC compartment on Day 8 at 4 hours post dose (N=5). The results are shown in FIG. 164.

Example 24 - BTK Inhibitory Effects on Solid Tumor Microenvironment in a Non-small Cell Lung Cancer (NSCLC) Model

[001160] A genetic tumor model of NSCLC (KrasLA2) was studied as a model for lung cancer using the treatment schema shown in FIG. 165. The model is designed to have sporadic expression in single cells of G12D mutant Kras off its own promoter triggered by spontaneous intrachromosomal recombination. Johnson, et al. Nature 2001, 410, 1111-16. While the mutant Kras protein is expressed in a few cells in all tissues, tumor development is seen only in the lung at high penetrance. Mice treated with Formula (XVIII) showed a significant decrease in tumor volumes versus vehicle (FIG. 166) and fewer overall tumors with dosing of 15 mg/kg. The effects on TAMs (FIG. 167), MDSCs (FIG. 168), Tregs (FIG. 169), and CD8+ cells (FIG. 170) were consistent with suppression of the solid tumor microenvironment as demonstrated previously.

Example 25 - Additional Preclinical Characteristics of BTK Inhibitors

[001161] The in vitro potency in whole blood of Formula (XVIII), ibrutinib and CC-292 in inhibiting signals through the B cell receptor was also assessed. Blood from four healthy donors was incubated for 2 hours with the compounds shown over a

concentration range, and then stimulated with anti-human IgD [10 μg/mL] for 18 hours. The mean fluorescent intensity (MFI) of CD69 (and CD86, data not shown) on gated CD 19+ B cells was measured by flow cytometry. MFI values were normalized so that 100% represents CD69 level in stimulated cells without inhibitor, while 0% represents the unstimulated/no drug condition. The results are shown in FIG. 171. The EC₅₀ values obtained were 8.2 nM (95% confidence interval: 6.5 - 10.3), 6.1 nM (95% confidence interval: 5.2 - 7.2), and 121 nM (95% confidence interval: 94 - 155) for Formula (XV II), ibrutinib, and CC-292, respectively.

[001162] The EGF receptor phosphorylation in vitro was also determined for Formula (XVIII) and ibrutinib. Epidermoid carcinoma A431 cells were incubated for 2h with a dose titration of Formula (XVIII) or ibrutinib, before stimulation with EGF (100 ng/mL) for 5 min to induce EGFR phosphorylation (p-EGFR). Cells were fixed with 1.6% paraformaldehyde and permeabilized with 90% MeOH. Phosphoflow cytometry was performed with p-EGFR (Y1069). MFI values were normalized so that 100% represents the p-EGFR level in stimulated cells without inhibitor, while 0% represents the unstimulated/no drug condition. The results are shown in FIG. 172. EGF- induced p- EGFR inhibition was determined to be 7% at 10 μΜ for Formula (XVIII), while ibrutinib has an EC₅₀ of 66 nM. The much more potent inhibition of EGF-induced p-EGFR by ibrutinib may be associated with increased side effects including diarrhea and rash.

Example 26 - Effects of BTK Inhibition on Antibody-Dependent NK Cell Mediated Cytotoxicity Using Obinutuzumab

[001163] It has been shown above that ibrutinib undesirably antagonizes rituximab ADCC effects mediated by NK cells, and that Formula (XVIII) does not antagonize rituximab ADCC effects and instead allows for a synergistic combination. As noted previously, this may be due to ibrutinib' s secondary irreversible binding to ITK, which is required for FcR-stimulated NK cell function including calcium mobilization, granule release, and overall ADCC. H. E. Kohrt, et al, Blood 2014, 123, 1957-60. The potential for ibrutinib antagonization of obinutuzumab (GA-101) ADCC as mediated by NK cells was also explored and compared to the effects of Formula (XVIII).

[001164] The NK cell degranulation/ADCC assay was performed using a whole blood assay with CLL targets added to normal donor whole blood, in the presence or absence of different doses of Formula (XVIII) and ibrutinib, followed by opsonization with the anti- CD20 antibody obinutuzumab. Ibrutinib was used as a control, and two blinded samples of BTK inhibitors, Formula (XVIII) and a second sample of ibrutinib, were provided to the investigators. Degranulation in whole blood was performed as follows. CLL targets (MEC-1 cells) were expanded in RPMI 1640 medium (Life Technologies, Inc.) with 10% fetal bovine serum (FBS). Exponentially growing cells were used. On the day of the experiment, 8 mL of blood was drawn from a normal volunteer into a test tube containing desirudin to obtain a final concentration of 50 μg/mL. A white blood cell (WBC) count of whole blood was performed. MEC-1 cells were re-suspended at the concentration of WBC in whole blood (e.g., if 6 lO⁶ WBC/mL was measured, MEC-1 cells were re- suspended at 6 xlO⁶ cells/mL, to allow for a final WBC:MEC-1 cell ratio of 1 : 1). The ibrutinib control and two blinded BTK inhibitors were diluted in X-VIVO 15 serum- free hematopoietic cell medium (Lonza Group, Ltd.) to concentrations of 200 μΜ, 20 μΜ and 2 μΜ. 170 μΐ. aliquots of unmanipulated whole blood were incubated with 10 μΐ. BTK inhibitors or X-VTVO 15 medium for one hour into a plate. Cetuximab and

obinutuzumab (GA-101) were diluted in X-VTVO 15 medium to a concentration of 20 μg/mL. Equal volumes of MEC-1 cells and antibodies were incubated for 5 minutes. After incubation, 20 μΤ of MEC-1 cells and antibodies was added to whole blood and the BTK inhibitors/X-VIVO 15 medium (for a final volume of 200 μΤ). The samples were placed in a 5% C0₂ incubator for 4 hours at 37 °C. The experimental conditions thus achieved a WBC:MEC-1 cell ratio of 1 : 1, with final concentrations of the BTK inhibitors in the assay of 10 μΜ, 1 μΜ and 0.1 μΜ and final concentrations of the antibodies of 1 μg/mL.

[001165] After 4 hours, the samples were mixed gently and 50 μΕ aliquots were removed from each well and placed in fluorescence-activated cell sorting (FACS) test tubes. A 20 μΕ aliquot of anti-CD56-APC antibody and anti-CD 107a-PE antibody was added. The samples were incubated for 20 minutes at room temperature in the dark. An aliquot of 2 rriL of FACS lysing solution (BD Biosceinces) was added. The samples were again incubated for 5 minutes, and then centrifuged at 2000 rpm for 5 minutes. Supernatant was discarded and the cell pellet was resuspended in 500 μΕ of PBS. The samples were analyzed on the flow cytometer for CD107a⁺ NK cells (CD56⁺).

[001166] The NK cell degranulation results are summarized in FIG. 173 for n = 3 experiments, which shows the effects on whole blood after pretreatment for 1 hour with the BTK inhibitors at the concentrations shown and subsequent stimulation with MEC-1 opsonised with obinutuzumab or cetuximab at 1 μg/mL for 4 hours. A strong reduction in the percentage of CD56⁺/CD107a⁺ NK cells is observed using ibrutinib (both as a control and blinded BTK inhibitor), which indicates that ibrutinib undesirably antagonizes NK cells. In contrast, Formula (XVIII) shows little antagonism towards NK cells, and had a minimal effect on obinutuzumab-stimulated NK cell degranulation while ibrutinib reduced obinutuzumab-stimulated NK degranulation by greater than 40%. These results support the synergistic combination of obinutuzumab and Formula (XVIII) in treatment of human B cell malignancies. Example 27 - Effects of BTK Inhibition on Generalized NK Cell Mediated Cytotoxicity

[001167] An assay was performed to assess the effects of BTK inhibition using Formula (XVIII) on generalized NK killing (non-ADCC killing). The targets (K562 cells) do not express MHC class I, so they do not inactivate NK cells. Target cells were grown to mid- log phase, and 5*10⁵ cells were labeled in 100 μΕ of assay medium (IMDM with 10% FCS and penicillin/streptomycin) with 100 μCi of ⁵¹Cr for 1 hour at 37 °C. Cells were washed twice and resuspended in assay medium. A total of 5000 target cells/well was used in the assay. Effector cells were resuspended in assay medium, distributed on a V- bottom 96-well plate, and mixed with labeled target cells at 40: 1 E:T ratios. Maximum release was determined by incubating target cells in 1% Triton X-100. For spontaneous release, targets were incubated without effectors in assay medium alone. After a 1 minute centrifugation at 1000 rpm, plates were incubated for 4 and 16 hours at 37 °C. Supernatant was harvested and ⁵¹Cr release was measured in a gamma counter.

Percentage of specific release was calculated as (experimental release-spontaneous release)/(maximum release-spontaneous release) x 100. The results are shown in FIG. 174.

Example 28 - Effects of BTK Inhibition on T Cells

[001168] An assay was performed to assess the effects of BTK inhibition using Formula (XVffl) on T cells. Enriched CD4⁺ T cells are plated on 24-well culture dishes that have been precoated 2 hr with 250 μΕ anti-TCRP (0.5 μg/mL) plus anti-CD28 (5 μg/mL) at 37 °C in PBS. The cells are then supplemented with media containing BTK inhibitors along with the skewing cytokines as indicated in the following. The Thl7 and Treg cultures are grown for 4 days before analysis. The cells are maintained for an additional 3 days with skewing cytokines (Thl7; 20 ng/mL IL-6, 0.5 ng/mL TGF-β, 5 μg/mL IL-4, 5 μg/mL IFN-γ and Treg; 0.5 ng/mL TGF-β, 5 μg/mL IL-4, 5 μg/mL IFN-γ) and are supplemented with IL2 as a growth factor.

[001169] The results are shown in FIG. 175 and FIG. 176, and further illustrate the surprising properties of Formula (XVIII) in comparison to ibrutinib. Because of the lack of activity of Formula (XVIII) on Itk and Txk, no adverse effects on Thl7 and Treg development was observed. Since ibrutinib inhibits both Itk and Txk, a profound inhibition of Thl7 cells and an increase in Treg development is observed, which is comparable to the murine Itk/Txk double knock-out cells which were used as a control.

[001170] The effects of ibrutinib in comparison to Formula (XVIII) on CD8⁺ T cell viability were also assessed. Total T cells were plated on anti-TCR and anti-CD28 coated wells in the presence of both BTK inhibitors. Neutral culture conditions were used that will not polarize T cells to a helper lineage. The cells are grown for 4 days and are then stained with anti-CD4, anti-CD8 and LIVE/DEAD reagent to determine if the drugs have selective effects on either the CD4⁺ or CD8⁺ cells. Statistical significance was calculated using the Mann Whitney T-test. The results, shown in FIG. 177, indicate that higher concentrations of ibrutinib have a strong, negative effect on CD8⁺ T cell viability that is not observed with Formula (II) at any concentration.

[001171] Without being bound by any theory, CD8⁺ T cells have two primary effector functions: (1) produce large amounts of IFN-γ (which activates macrophages), and (2) cytolytic activity. A cytotoxic T cell (CTL) assay was performed to compare the BTK inhibitors of Formula (XVTII) and Formula (XX- A) (ibrutinib). Effectors were prepared by generating CTL by culturing MHC mismatched splenocytes for 4 days with (500 nM) and without Formula (XVTII) or Formula (XX- A) (ibrutinib). The targets were B lymphoblasts from lipopolysaccharide (LPS) treated cultures. The assay was performed by incubating different ratios of effectors:targets for 4 hours. In FIG. 178, the results show that Formula (XX- A) (ibrutinib) affects CD8⁺ T cell function as measured by % cytotoxicity. Formula (XVTII), in contrast, has no effect on CD8⁺ T cell function as measured by % cytotoxicity relative to vehicle. The effect on CD8⁺ T cell function can also be observed by measurement of IFN-γ levels, as shown in FIG. 179, where Formula (XX- A) (ibrutinib) again results in a significant loss of function relative to Formula (XVIII) and vehicle.

Example 29 - Blood-Brain Barrier Penetration of BTK Inhibitors in Rats

[001172] P-glycoprotein substrates can have relatively low brain exposure, due to activity of efflux pumps including P-glycoprotein at the blood-brain barrier (BBB). In a biodistribution study using radiolabeled Formula (XVTII), low relative concentrations (3% to 4% of plasma concentrations) were observed in the brain. Preliminary brain PK experiments were performed to evaluate the potential for Formula (XVTII) to cross the blood brain barrier, with results illustrated in FIG. 180. Four Sprague-Dawley rats per group were treated by oral gavage with 5 or 30 mg/kg/day Formula (XVIII) and tissues were collected at 30 minutes after dosing - the approximate time of Cmax - on Days 1, 3 and 5. Two vehicle treated rats were sacrificed on each sampling day for comparison. Cerebral spinal fluid (CSF) was collected; and the brains were flushed with heparinized saline prior to collection and snap frozen for analysis of Formula (XVIII). Bioanalytical methods specific to CSF and brain tissue were used to measure Formula (XVIII) concentrations in these matrices. Results (FIG. 180) showed low but detectable levels of Formula (XVIII) in the brain and CSF samples. Penetration of Formula (XVIII) into the brain was surprising because of the efflux ratio observed with in vitro studies in Caco-2 cells. However, the ratio of Formula (XVIII) in the flushed brains, compared with matched plasma concentrations, showed that brain extracts had -3-4% of the observed plasma concentrations, consistent with the results from the biodistribution study. The ratios observed in clean CSF samples from rats treated with 5 and 30 mg/kg/day were between 1-2% of the plasma levels. The results indicate that Formula (XVIII) can penetrate the BBB, and because of the covalent binding of Formula (XVIII) and low BTK resynthesis rates, high levels of BTK occupancy in tumor cells in the brain (such as infiltrating lymphocyties and microglia) as well as in cells of the solid tumor

microenvironment in order to treat cancers such as gliomas and primary central nervous system lymphoma (Schideman, et al., J. Neurosci. Res. 2006, 83(8), 1471-84).

Example 30 - Synergistic Combination of a BTK Inhibitor and an a-PD-1 Inhibitor in the ID8 Ovarian Cancer Model

[001173] The ID8 ovarian cancer model of Examples 6 and 7 was also used to investigate potential synergistic effects between the BTK inhibitor of Formula (XVIII) and an a-PD- 1 inhibitor. Doses of 15 mg/kg BID of Formula (XVIII) and 150 μg of a-PD-1 antibody (anti-mouse PD-1 antibody Clone J43, BE0033-2) or anti-mouse PD-1 antibody Clone RMPl-14 (BioXcell, BE0146)). The experiments were performed as described in Example 7.

[001174] The results of tumor volume assessment for mice treated with vehicle, Formula (XVIII) alone, the a-PD-1 inhibitor alone, and a combination of Formula (XVIII) and the a-PD-1 inhibitor are shown in FIG. 181. The results show that Formula (XVIII) alone or in combination with an anti-PD-1 antibody impairs ID8 ovarian cancer growth in a syngeneic murine model. The results also show that the combination of Formula (XVIII) and the a-PD-1 inhibitor exhibits a synergistic effect on the reduction of tumor volumes.

Example 31 - Synergistic Combination of a BTK Inhibitor and a PI3K-5 Inhibitor

[001175] A study was also performed using the approach described above in Example 2 with the BTK inhibitor of Formula (XXVIII-R) (ONO-4059) and the PI3K-5 inhibitor of Formula (XVI) (idelalisib). Proliferation was again determined with MTS (CellTiter 96 AQueous, Promega). Incubations were performed for 96 hours. The detailed results of the additional cell line studies for the BTK inhibitor of Formula (XXVIII-R) and the PI3K-5 inhibitor of Formula (XVI) are given in FIG. 182 to FIG. 187. The results of these combination studies are summarized in Table 16.

TABLE 16. Summary of results of the combination of a BTK inhibitor with a PI3K-5 inhibitor (S = synergistic, A = additive, X = no effect).

[001176] Synergistic effects of the combination of the BTK inhibitor of Formula (XXVIII-R) with the PI3K-5 inhibitor of Formula (XVI) are observed in cell lines that are representative of a number of clinically-significant B cell malignancies.
