FIELD OF THE INVENTION

(0001 J The present disclosure relates generally to therapeutics and compositions for treating cancers and allergic, autoimmune, and inflammatory disorders, and more specifically to the use of Bruton's Tyrosine Kinase (BTK) inhibitors

(hereinafter refered to BTK or Btk inhibitors) in combination with one or more agent which modulates Janus Kinase (JAK), Apopfcosis signal-regulating kinase 1 (ASK 1 ), bromodomam-eonta nmg proteins, or matrix metal lopeptidases 9

(MMP9).

BACKGKOUND

[0002] BTK inhibitors usefulm treating cancers such. as. hematological cancers and inflammatory conditions include those taught in U.S. Pat. No. 8,940,725 {Yamamoto et al.)_s U.S. 2014/0330015 Yamamoto e( ai.) and U.S. Pat. No.

7,514,444 (Honigberg et al.).

[0 Θ3] Janus Kinase (JAK) inhibitors are known in the art, including

momelotmib, peficitinib, toiacitinib, oelacitinib, ruxolitinib. baracitinib, lestaurtimb, pacritmib, fiigotmib, TG101348, JS-124, and I CB391 10, CHZ868, and GSK2586184. There remains a need for beneficial combination therapies.

[0004] Mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAFK) signaling cascades couple diverse extracellular and intracellular queues to appropriate cellular stress responses, including cell growth, differentiation, inflammation, and apoptosis (Kumar, S„ Boehm, J,, and Lee,, J. C. (2003) Nat. Rev, Drug Dk 2:717-726;

Piraienta, G._s and Paseual, J. (2007) Cell Cycle. 6: 2826-2632). MAPKs exist in three groups, MAP3&S, MAP2 s, and MAPKs, which are sequentially activated. MAPK3s directly respond to environmental signals and phosphorylate MAP2Ks, which in torn phosphorylate specific MAPKs. MAPKs then mediated the appropriate cellular response by phosphoryiatmg cellular substrates, including transcription factors that regulate gene expression. lO OS^'j Apoptosis signal-regulating kinase 1 (ASKI ) is a member of the mitogen-, activated protein kinase kinase kinase (^''MAF3K") family that activates the e-Jim N-termmal protein kinase ("JNK^, ) and p38 MAP kinase, (ichijo, H._e et al. (1997) Science, .275. 0-94). AS 1 is activated by a variety of stimuli including oxidative stress, reactive oxygen species ( OS), LPS, TNF-a, FasL, ER stress, and increased intracellular calcium concentrations (Hattori, K., et al. (2009) Cell Comm. Signal. 7: 1- 10; Takeda, K., et al. (2007) Annu. Rev. Pharmacal. Toxicol. 48: 1-8.27; Nagat, H., et al. (2007) J. Biochem. Mol. Biol. 40: 1-6). ASK1 ^'undergoes activatioa via autophospkjryiation at Thr838 in response to these signals and in turn phosphorylaf.es MAP2K.S, such as MKK3/6 and MK. 4/7, which then phosphorylate and activate p38 and JNK MAPKs, respectively.

AS 2 is a related MAP3K that shares 45% sequence homology with AS I (Wang, X. S., et al. (1998) Biochem. Biophys. Res. Common. 253, 33-37, Although A SK2 tissue distribution is restricted, in some cell, types ASKI and A SO have been reported to interact and function together in a protein complex (Takeda, ._s et al. (2007) J. Bioi. Chem. 282: 7522-7531 ; Iriyama, T.₅ et al. (2009) Embo J. 28: 843-853) In non-stressed conditions, A SKI is kept in an inactive state through binding to its repressor Thioredoxin (Trx) (Saitoh, M., et al.C 1998) Embo J. 1 7:2596-2606), and through association with ART (Zhang. L, Chen, J. and Fu, II (\ 999) Proe. Nal Acad. Sci. U.S.A 96:8511-8515).

Phosphorylation of ASK 1 protein can lead to apoptosis or 10 other cellular responses depending on the cell type. ASK! activation and signaling have been reported to play an important role in a broad range of diseases including neurodegenerati ve, cardio vascular, kiilammatory, autoimmunity, and metabolic disorders. In addition, ASKI has been implicate mediating organ damage following ischemia and reperthsion of the heart, brain, and kidney (Watanabe et al. (2005) BBRC 333 _f 562-567: Zhang et ah, (2003) Life Sci 74-37-43; Terada et al. (2007)BBRC 364: 1043-49). Emerging evidence suggests mat ASK2, either alone or in a complex with ASKI, may play important roles in human diseases as well. Therefore, therapeutic agents that function as inhibitors of ASKI and ASK2 signaling complexes have the potential to remedy or improve the lives of patients suffering from such conditions. U.S. Publication No. 2007/0276050 describes methods for identifying ASK! inhibitors useful for preventing and/or treating cardiovascular disease and methods for preventing and/or treating cardiovascular disease in an animal. The methods comprise administering to the animal an ASK! 30 inhibitor and, optionally, a hypertensive compound. U.S. Publication No. 2007/0167386 reports a drug for at least one of prevention and treatment of cardiac failure containing a compound that inhibits a functional expression of ASK! protein in a cardiomyocyte, and a method for screening the drug.

W02009027283 discloses iriazolopyridine compounds, methods for preparation thereof and methods for treating autoimmune disorders, inflammatory diseases, cardiovascular diseases and neurodegenerative diseases. U.S. Patent Nos.

8,552,196 and 8,742,126 teach AS 1 inhibiting compounds useful as pharmaceutical agents.

[6006] BET or BRD inhibitors- are a class of drugs with anti-cancer, immunosuppressive, and other effects demonstrated in clinical trials arid widely- used in research. They teversibiy bind the bromodomains of Bromodomain and Extra-Terminal motif (BET) proteins BRJD2, BR 3, BRD4 and B.RDT and prevent protein-protein interaction between BET proteins and aeetylated histories and transcription factors. Bromodomain inhibitors include the benzimidazole derivatives taught in US 2014-03.36 ί 90.

[0007] Abnormal activity of certain MMPs plays a role in tumor growth, metastasis, inflammation, autoimmunity, and vascular disease. See, for example, Hu ei ah (2007) Nature Reviews: Drug Discovery 6:480-498, One notable source of MMP9 is tumor-associated macrophages i^'TAMsj, which support .metastasis and invasion in a complex co-activation loop via paracrine interaction with the primary tumor cells. This combination of the proteolytic breakdown -of physical barriers to cell invasion plus liberation of factors that activate growth and angiogenesis paves the way for tumor expansion, with the accompanying development of neovascularization to support tumor outgrowth.

[6008] MMP9 is a target of Oncogenic signaling pathways such as RAS/RAF, FB A T/NFkB, and WNT beta-catenin and functions as an upstream regulator of these pathways via modulation ofintegrin and receptor tyrosine kinase function. MMP is also expressed by subsets of stromal cells (e.g. vasculature, fibroblasts) and turner-associated infiltrating cells, including myeloid-derived suppressor cells, macrophages and neutrophils. MMF9 is elevated in a wide variety of tumor types and. MMP9 levels are correlated with poor prognosis in many cancers, including gastric, lung, and colorectal cancer, MP9 is also implicated in chemoresistance and is unregulated upon loss of several tumor suppressors, MMP9 is unregulated in many diverse tumor types and can promote primary growth and distal invasion of cancerous cells.

{0009J It can be desirable to inhibit the activity of one or more MMPs in certain therapeutic settings. However, the activity of certain other MMPs, e.g., MMP2, is often required for normal function and/or is protective against disease. Since most MMP inhibitors are targeted to the conserved catalytic domain and, as a result, inhibit a number of different MMPS., use of available MMP inhibitors has caused side effects due to the inhibition of essential, non^pathogenicaily-rekfced MMPs. Useful MMP9 inhibitors include the antibodies and fragments disclosed in U.S. 2015-0140580 (Smith et al.) and U.S. Patent Nos. 8,377,443 (MeAuley et al.), 8,501 ,916 (MeAuley et al,), and 9.120,863 (MeAuley et al.).

{0010} There remains a need for additional treatments for cancers.

{0072| Compounds of a given formula described herein encompasses the compound disclosed and all pharmaceutically acceptable salts, esters, stereoisomers, tautomers, prodrugs, solvates, and deuterated forms thereof, unless otherwi se specified.

[0073] "Effective amount" or "therapeutically effective amount" means the amount of a compound or molecule described herein that may he effective to elicit the desired biological or medical response. These terms include the amount of a compound that, when administered to a subject for treating a disease, is sufficient to effect such treatment for the disease. The effective amount will vary depending on the compound, the disease and its severity and the age, weight, etc.. of the subject to be treated.

[0074] In another aspect, provided herein is a method for treating a human who is "refractory" to a cancer treatment or who is in "relapse" after treatment for cancer (e.g. , a hematologic malignancy). A subject "re ractory" to an anti-cancer therapy means they do not respond to the particular treatment, also referred to as resistant. The cancer may be resistant to treatment .from the beginning of treatment, or may become resistant during the course of treatment, tor example after the -treatment has shown some effect on the cancer, but not enough to be considered a remission or partial remission. A subject in "relapse" means that the cancer lias returned or the signs and symptoms of cancer have returned after a period of improvement, e.g. after a treatment has shown effective reduction in the cancer, such as after a subject is in remission or partial remission,

[0075] In some variations, the human is (i) refractory to at least one anti-cancer therapy, or (ii) in relapse after treatment with at least one anti-cancer therapy, or both (i) and (ii). In some of embodiments, the human is refractory to at least two, at least three, or at least four anti-cancer therapies (including, for example, standard or experimental chemotherapies).

[0076] "Subject" and "subjects" refer to human in need thereof may be an individual who has or is suspected of having a cancer. In some of variations, the human is at risk of developing a cancer (e.g., a human who is genetically or otherwise predisposed to developing a cancer) and who has or has not been diagnosed with the cancer. As used herein, an "at risk" subject is a subject who is at risk of developing cancer (e.g., a hematologic malignancy.). The subject may. or may not have detectable disease, and may or may not have displayed detectable disease prior to the treatment methods described herein. An at risk subject may have one or more so-called risk factors, which are measurable parameters that, correlate with development, of cancer, such as described. -herein, A subject having one or more of these risk factors has: a higher probability of developing cancer than an individual without, these risk factor(s). These risk factors may include, for example, age, sex, race, diet, history of previous disease, presence of precursor disease, genetic ( g-., hereditary) considerations, and environmental exposure, in some embodiments, a human at risk for cancer includes, for example, a human whose relatives have experienced this disease, and those whose risk is determined by analysis of genetic or biochemical markers. Prior history of having cancer may al so be a risk factor for instances of cancer recurrence

[0077] As used herein, "treatment" or "treating" is an approach for obtaining beneficial or desired results including clinical results. Beneficial or desired clinical results .may include one or more of the following:

(i) inhibiting the disease or condition (e.g. , decreasing one ox more symptoms resulting from the disease or condition, and/or diminishing the extent of the disease or condition);

(ii) slowing or arresting the development of one or more clinical symptoms associated with the disease or condition (eg., stabilizing the disease or condition, preventing or delaying the worsening or progression of the disease or condition, and/or preventing or delaying the spread (e.g., metastasis) of the disease or condition); and or (in) relievmg the disease, that is, causing the regression of clinical symptoms (e.g., ameliorating the disease state, providing partial or total remission of the disease or condition, enhancing effect of another medication, delaying the progression of the disease, increasing the quality of life, and/or prolonging survival).

(0Θ78) In some variations, "delaying" the development of a disease or condition means to defer, hinder, slow, retard, stabilize, and/or postpone development of the disease or condition. This delay can be of varying lengths of time, depending on the history of the disease or condition, and/or subject being treated . For example, a method that "delays" development of a disease or condition is a method that reduces probability of disease or condition development in a given time frame and/or reduces the extent of the disease or condition in a given time frame, when compared to not using the method. Such comparisons are typically based on clinical studies, using a statistically significant number of subjects. ^•Disease or condition development can be detectable using standard methods, such as routine physical exams, mammography, imaging, or biopsy. Development may also refer to disease or condition progression that may be initially undetectable and includes occurrence, recurrence, and onset.

[0079]

{0080] Reference to "about" a value or parameter herein includes (and describes) embodiments that are directed to that value or parameter per se. In certain embodiments, the term "about" includes the indicated amount ± 10%. In other embodiments, the term "about" includes the indicated amount ·± 5%. In certain other embodiments, the term "about" includes the indicated amount ± 1%, Also, to the term "about includes description &P-X , Also* the singular-forms "a" and "the" include plural references unless the context clearly dictates otherwise. Thus, e.g., reference to "the compound" includes a plurality of such compounds and reference to "the assay" includes reference to one or more assays and equivalents thereof known to those skilled in the art.

Antibodies [0081] As used herein, the term "antibody" means an isolated or recombinant polypeptide binding agent that comprises peptide sequences (e.g., variable region sequences} that specifically bind an antigenic epitope. The term is used in its broadest sense and specifically covers mo.ooclon.ai antibodies (including full- length monoclonal antibodies), polyclonal antibodies, human antibodies, humanized antibodies, chimeric antibodies, nanobodies, diabodies, multispecifle antibodies [e.g. , bispeeific antibodies), and antibody fragments including but not limited to Fv, scFv, Fab. Fab' F(ab')₂ and Fab?., so long as they exhibit the desired biological activity. The term "human antibody^"' refers to antibodies containing sequences of human origin, except, for possible non-human CDR regions, and does not imply that the full structure of an immunoglobulin molecule be present, only that the antibody has minimal immunogenic effect, in. a human {i.e., does not induce the production of antibodies to itself).

{^'0082] An "antibody fragment" comprises; a portion of a full-length antibody, for example, the antigen bindi ng or variable region of a full -length antibody, Such antibody fragments may also be referred to herein as "functional fragments: or "antigen-binding fragments". Examples of antibody fragments include Fab, Fab¹, Fiab'_.h, and Fv fragments; diabodies; linear antibodies (Zapata et al (1995) Protein Eng. 8(10): 1057-1062); single-chain antibody molecules; and mulrispeeific antibodies formed from antibody fragments. Papain digestion of antibodies produces two identical antigen-binding fragments, called "Fab" fragments, each with a single antigen-binding site, and a residual "Fc" fragment, a designation reflecting the ability to crystallize readily. Pepsin treatment yields an F(ab')₂ fragment that, has two antigen combining sites and is still capable of cross-linking antigen.

i0083| "Fv" is the minimum antibody fragment which contains a complete antigen-recognition and -binding site. This region consists of a dimer of one heavy- and one ^'light-chain variable domain in tight, non-covalent association. It is in this configuration that the three complementarity-determining regions (CDRs) of each variable domain interact to define an antigen-binding site on the surface of the VH~VI, dimer. Collectively, the six CDRs confer antigen-binding specificity to the antibody. However, even a single variable domain (or an isolated VH or V^'t region comprising only three of the six CDRs specific for an antigen) has the ability to recognize and bind antigen, although generally at a lower affinity than does the entire F_Y fragment.

[0084] The -fragment also contains, in addition to heavy and light chain variable regions, the constant domain of the light chain and the first constant domain (CM)) of the heavy chain. Fab fragments were originally observed following papain digestion of an antibody. Fair fragments differ from Fab fragments; in that F(ab') fragments contain several additional residues at the carboxy terminus of the heavy chain CHj domain, including one or more cysteines from the antibody hinge region. F(ab¾ fragments contain two Fab fragments joined, near the hinge region, by disulfide bonds, and were originally- observed following pepsin digestion of an antibody. Fab^' -SH is the designation herein for Fab' fragments in which the cysteine residue(s) of the constant domains bear a free thiol group. Other chemical couplings of antibody fragments are also known.

(0085] The "light chains" of antibodies (immunoglobulins) from any vertebrate species can he assigned to one of two clearly distinct types, called kappa and lambda, based on the amino acid sequences of their constant domains.

Depending on the amino acid sequence of the constant domain of their heavy- chains, immunoglobulins can be assigned to five major classes: IgA, IgD, IgE, IgG, and IgM, and several of these may be further divided into subclasses (isotypes), e.g., igG L IgG2, lgG3, lgG4, IgAF and !gA2.

[0086] "Single-chain Fv" or "sFv" or "scFv" antibody fragments comprise the VH and Vi. domains of antibody, wherein these domains are present a single polypeptide chain. In some embodiments, the Fv polypeptide further comprises a polypeptide linker between the \¾ and ¼. domains, which enables the sFv to form the desired structure for antigen binding. For a review of sFv, see

Pluckthun, in The Pharmacology of Monoclonal Antibodies, vol. 113 (Rosenborg and Moore eds.) Springer-Vedag, New York, pp. 269-31 5 (1994).

[0087] The term "diabodies" refers to small antibody fragments with two antigen-binding sites, which fragments comprise a heavy-chain variable domain (V^'H) connected to a light-chain variable domain (Vj_.) in the same polypeptide chain (Vs.;- Vg. 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, thereby creating two antige -binding sites. Diabodies are additionally described, for example, in EP 404,097; WO 93/1 .1 161 and HolHnger et aL ( 1993) Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. USA 90:6444-6448.

[0088] An "isolated" antibody is one that, has been identified and separated and/or recovered from a component of its natural environment. Components of its natural environment may include enzymes, hormones, and other proteinaceous or nonproteinaceous solutes. In some embodiments, an isolated antibody is purified (1) to greater than 95% by weight of antibody as determined by the Lowry method, for example, more than 99% by weight. (2) to a degree sufficient to obtain at least 15 residues of -terminal or internal amino, acid. sequence, e.g., by use of a spinning, cup sequenator, or (3) to homogeneity by gel electrophoresis (e.g,_} SDS-PAGE) under reducing or nonreducing- conditions, with detection by Coomassie bine or silver stain. The term "isolated antibody" includes an antibody in situ within recombinant cells, since at least one component of the antibody's natural environment will not be present. In certain embodiments, isolated antibody is prepared by at least one purification step.

[0089] As used herein, "immunoreactive" refers to antibodies or fragments thereof that are specific to a sequence of amino acid residues ("binding site" or "epitope"), yet if are cross-reactive to other peptides/proteins, are not toxic at the levels at which they are formulated for administration to human use. "Epitope" refers to that portion of an antigen capable of forming a binding interaction with an antibody or antigen binding fragment thereof. An epitope can be a linear peptide sequence (i.e., ''continuous") or can be composed of noncontiguous amino acid sequences (i.e., "conformational" or "discontinuous"). The term "preferentially binds" means that the binding agent binds to the binding site with greater affinity than it binds unrelated amino acid sequences.

[0090] As used herein, the term "CDR" or "complementarity determining region" is intended to mean the non-contiguous antigen combining sites found within the variable region of both heavy and light chain polypeptides. These particular regions have been described by Kabat et aL J. Biol. Chem. 252:6609- 6616 (1977); Kabat et al., U.S. Dept. of Heal to and Human Services, "Sequences of proteins of immunological interest" (1 91 ): by Chothia et al._s I Mol. Biol. 196:901-917 (1987); and MacCalksni et aL, J. Mol. Bio!. 262:732-745 (1996), where the definitions include overlapping or subsets of ammo acid residues when compared against each other. Nevertheless, application of either definition to refer to a CDR of an antibody or grafted antibodies or variants thereof is intended to be within the scope of the term as defined and used herein. The amino acid residues which encompass the CDRs as def ned by each of the above cited references are set forth below in Table 1 as a comparison.

'Residue nBtnbering follows ihe nomenclature of Kabat ct ai., supra

''Residue numberin follows the nomenclature of Chothia et si., supra :^' Residue numbering follows the nomenclature of MacCaiium et si,, supra [0092] As used herein, the term "framework" when used its reference to an antibody variable region is intended to mean all amino acid residues outside the CDR regions within the variable region of an antibody. A variable region framework is generally a discontinuous amino acid sequence between about 100- 120 amino acids in length but is intended to reference only those amino acids outside of the CDRs. As used herein, the term ".framework region" is intended to mean each domain of the framework that is separated by the CDRs.

[0093] "Homology" or "identity" or "similarity" as used herein in the context of nucleic acids and polypeptides refers to the relationship between two polypeptides or two nucleic acid molecules based on an alignment of the ammo acid sequences or nucleic acid sequences, respectively. Homology and identity can each be determined by comparing a position in each sequence which may be aligned for purposes of comparison. When an equivalent position in the compared sequences is occupied by the same base or amino acid, then the molecules are identical at that position; when the equivalent site occupied by the same, or a similar amino acid residue (e.g., similar in sterie and/or electronic nature), then the molecules can be referred io as homologous (similar) at that position. Expression as a percentage of homology/similarity or identity refers to a function of the number of identical or similar amino acids at positions shared by the compared sequences, In comparing two sequences, the absence of residues (amino acids or nucleic acids) or presence of extra residues also decreases the identity and homology/sitnilariiy.

10094] As used herein, "identity" means th percentage of identical nucleotide or ami no acid residues at corresponding positions in two or more sequences when the sequences are aligned to maximize sequence matching, i.e., taking into account gaps and insertions. Sequences are generally aligned for maximum correspondence over & designated region, e.g., a region al least about 20. 25, 30, 35, 40, 45, 50, 5, 0, 65 or more amino acids or nucleotides in length, and can be up to the full-length of the reference amino acid or nucleotide. For sequence comparison, typically one sequence acts as a reference sequence, to which test sequences are compared. When usi a sequence comparison algorithm, test and reference sequences are input into a computer program, subsequence coordinates are designated, if necessary, and sequence algorithm program parameters are designated. The sequence comparison algorithm then calculates the percent sequence identity for the test sequence(s) relative to the reference sequence, based on the designated program parameters.

|009S] Examples of algorithms that are suitable for determining percent sequence identity are the BLAST and BLAST 2,0 algorithms, which are described in AJ.ts.chui et al. (1 90) I Mol. Biol. 215: 403-410 and Altschiil et a . (1977) Nucleic. Acids Res. 25: 3389-3402, respectively. Software for perfo ming BLAST -analyses is publicly available through the National Center for

Biotechnology Information (www;nebi.nlm.nih,gov). Further exemplary algorithms include ChistalW (Biggins D., et al (1994) Nucleic Acids Res 22: 4673 -4680), avail a ble a t www.ebt . ac ,uk/Tool s/clus tai w/index.html ,

[0096] Residue positions which are not identical can differ by conservative amino acid substitutions. Conservative amino add substitutions refer to the interchangeability of residues having similar side chains. For example, a group of amino acids having aliphatic side chains is gl cine, alanine, valine, leucine, and iso!eucine; a group of amino acids having aliphatic-hydroxy! side chains is serine and threonine; a group of amino acids having amide-containing side chains is asparagine and glutamine; a group of amino acids having aromatic side chains is phenylalanine, tyrosine, and tryptophan; a group of amino acids having basic side chains is lysine, arginine, and histidine; and a group of amino acids having sulfur- containing side chains is cysteine and methionine.

(ADME). Substitution with heavier isotopes such as deuterium may afford certain therapeutic advantages resulting from greater metabolic stability, for example increased in vivo half-life, reduced dosage requirements and/or an improvement in therapeutic index. An ^¾*F labeled compound may be useful for PET or SPECT studies.

[00.147] Useful MMP9 inhibiting agents include comprises binding proteins, e.g., antibodies and antigen-binding fragments thereof, that bind to the matrix metalloproteinase-9 (MMP9) protein (M. P9 is also known as gelatinase-B), wherein the binding proteins comprise an immunoglobulin (ig) heavy chain (or functional fragment thereof) and an Ig light chain (or functional fragment thereof) disclosed in U.S. 20.15-0140580 (Smith et al.) and U.S. Patent Nos. 8,377,443 (McAuley et al.}, 8,501,916 (McAuley et al.), and 9.120,863 (McAuley et al.)_s each of which is incorporated herein by reference.

[001 8 j Practice of the present disclosure employs, unless otherwise indicated, standard methods and conventional techniques in the fields of celt biology, toxicology, molecular biology, biochemistry, cell culture, immunology, oncology, recombinant D A and related fields as are within, the skill of the art, Such techniques are described m the literature and thereby available: to those of skill in the art. See, for example, Alberts, B, el l_t "Molecular Biology of the Cell" 5^th edition, Garland Science, New York, NY, 2008; Voei, D. et al.

See also, for example, "Current Protocols in Immunology," (II. Coico, series editor), Wiley, last updated August 2010.

10149] The present combinations provide binding proteins, e.g., antibodies and antigen-binding fragments thereof, that bind to the matrix metaUoproteinase-9 (MMP9) protein (MMP9 is also known as gelatinase-B). The binding proteins of the present disclosure generally comprise an immunoglobulin (Ig) heavy chain (or functional fragment thereof) and an Ig light, chain (or functional fragment thereof) to be used in the methods, regimens, kits, and articles of manufacture herein, with a pharmaceutically effective amount, or with individual dose units containing a pharmaceutically effective amount, of Compound A 1.

(001501 The combinations include MMP9 binding proteins thai bind specifically to MMP9 and not to other matrix metalioproteinases such as MMPL MMP2, MMP3, MMP7, MMP9, MMPK), MMP12, MMPJ.3. Such specific MMP9 binding proteins are thus generally not significantly or deteciably crossreactive with non-MMP9 matrix meiailoprotekiases. MMP9 binding proteins that specifically bind M P9 find use in applications in. which it is necessary or desirable to obtain specific modulation (e.g.. inhibition) ofMMF9. e.g., without directly affecting the activity of other matrix metalioproteinases.

[00151] lit certain embodiments of the present disclosure an anti-MMP9 antibody is an inhibitor of the activity of MMP9, and can be a specific inhibitor of M P9. In particular, the MMP9 binding proteins disclosed herein will be useful for inhibition of MP9 while allowing norma} function of other, related matrix metalioproteinases, "An inhibitor of MMP" or "inhibitor of MMP9 activity" can be an antibody or an antigen binding fragment thereof thai directly or indirectly inhibits activity of MMP9, including but not limited to enzymatic processing, inhibiting action of MMP9 on it substrate (e.g., by inhibiting substrate binding, substrate cleavage, and the like), and the like.

[00152] The present combinations also comprise MMP9 binding proteins that specifically bind to non-mouse MMP9, such as human M P9, Cyrtomolgus monkey MMP9, and rat M P9.The combinations also comprise MM.P9 binding proteins (e.g., anti-MMP9 antibodies and functional fragments thereof) mat act as non-competitive inhibitors, A "non-competitive inhibitor" refers to an inhibitor binds at site away from substrate binding site of an enzyme, and thus can bind the enzyme and effect inhibitory activity regardless of whether or not the enzyme is bound to its substrate. Such non-competitive inhibitors can, for example, provide for a level of inhibition that can be substantially independent of substrate concentration.

[001 S3] MMP9 binding proteins (e.g., antibodies and functional fragments thereof) of the present disclosure include those that bind MMP9, particularly human MMP9, and having a heavy chain polypeptide (or functional fragment thereof) that has at least about 80%, 85%, 0%, 95% or more ammo acid sequence identity to a heavy chain polypeptide disclosed herein. MMP9 binding proteins (e.g., antibodies and functional fragments thereof) of the present combinations, methods, articles maniactore, and kits include those that bind MM.P9, particularly human MMP9, and having a light polypeptide (or functional fragment thereof) that has ai least about 80%, 85%, 90%, 95% or more amino acid sequence identity to a heavy chain polypeptide disclosed herein. MMP9 binding proteins (e.g., antibodies and functional fragments thereof) of the present disclosure include those that bind MMP9, particularly human MMP9, and have a heavy chain polypeptide (or functional fragment thereof) having the

complementarity determining regions ("CDRs ) of heavy chain polypeptide and the CDRs of a light chain polypeptide (or functional fragment thereof) as disclosed .herein,.

10015 MMP9 binding proteins including antibodies and functional fragments thereof. Accordingly, the present disclosure provides embodiments comprising, for example, antibodies or antigen binding fragments thereof, comprising a heavy chain variable region polypeptide having at least 80%, 85%. 90%, 95%, or greater amino acid sequence identity to an amino acid sequence of a heavy chain variable region described herein (e.g., SEQ ID NOS: 1 or 5-8), and a variable light chain polypeptide having at least 80%, 85%, 90%, 95%, or greater amino acid sequence identity to an amino acid sequence of a light chain polypeptide as set forth herein (e.g., SEQ ID NOS:2 or 9-12).

[001551 Sequence identity between two nucleic acids can also be described in terms of hybridization of two molecules to each other under stringent conditions. The hybridization conditions are -selected following standard methods in the art (see, for example, Samhrook, et a-L, Molecular Cloning: A Labora tory Manual, Second Edition, (1989) Cold Spring Rarhor,^'N.Y .). An example of stringent hybridization conditions is hybridization at 50°C or higher and 0.1 ^χ SSC (15 mM sodium chloride/ .5 mM sodium citrate). Another example of stringent hybridization, conditions is overnight incubation at 42 X. in a solution: 50 % formamide, 5 x SSC (150 roM aCL 15 mM tnsodium citrate), 50 mM sodium phosphate (pH7.6), 5 * Denhardfs solution, 10% dextran sulfate, and 20 mg/mi - - denatured, sheared salmon sperm DMA, followed by washing the fitters in 0.1 x SSC at about 65 . Stringent hybridization conditions are hybridization conditions thai are at least as stringent as the above representative conditions, where conditions axe considered to be at least as stringent if ihey are at least about 80% as stringent, typically at least 90% as stringent as the above specific stringent conditions. Examples of anti-MMP9 antibodies of the present disclosure are described in more detail below.

[00156] Anii~MMP9 antibodies can he described in terms of the CDRs of the heavy and light chains. In some embodiments, an antibody is a humanized antibody or a human antibody. Humanized antibodies include human immununoglobulins (recipient antibody) in which residues from a

complementary-determinkg region (CD ) of die recipient are replaced by residues from a CDR of a non-human species (donor antibody) such as mouse, rat or rabbit having the: desired specificity, affinity and capacity. Thus, humanized forms of non-human (e.g.,, murine) antibodies are chimeric immunoglobulins which contain minimal sequence derived from non-human immunoglobulin. The non -human sequences are iocated primarily in the variable regions, particularly in the complemeniarity-determining regions (CDRs). In some embodiments, Fv framework residues of the human immunoglobulin are replaced by corresponding non-human residues. Humanized antibodies can also comprise residues that are found neither in the recipient antibody nor in the imported CDR or framework sequences, In certain embodiments, a humanized antibody comprises substantially ail of at least one, and typically two, variable domains, in which all or substantially all of the CDRs correspond to those of a non-huraan

immunogiobufin and all or substantially all of the framework regions are those of a human immunoglobulin consensus sequence. For the purposes of the present disclosure, humanized antibodies can also include immunoglobulin fragments, such as Fv, Fab, Fab', F(ab')2 or other antigen-binding subsequences of antibodies.

[00157] The humanized antibody can also comprise at least a portion of an immunoglobulin constant region (Fc), typically (hat of a human immunoglobulin. See, for example, Jones et al. (1986) Nature 321 :522--525; Rie iraa n et al. (1988) Nature 332:323-329; and Presta (1992) C rr. Op. Struct. Biol. 2:593-596.

[06158) Methods for humanizing non-human antibodies are known in the art. Generally, a humanized antibody has one or more amino acid residues introduced into it from a source that is non-human. These non-huraan amino acid residues are- often referred to as "import" or "donor" residues, which are typically obtained from an "import" or "donor" variable domain. For example, hum an mation can he performed essentially according to the method of Winter and co-workers, by substituting rodent CDRs or CDR sequences for the corresponding sequences of a human antibody. See, for example. Jones et al., supra; iechmann et al, supra and Verhoeyen et al. (1988) Science 239: 1534-1536. Accordingly, such

"humanized" antibodies include chimeric antibodies (U.S. Patent No. 4,816,567), wherein, substantially less, than an intact human variable domain has been substituted by the corresponding sequence from a non-human species. In certain embodiments, humanized antibodies are human antibodies in which some CDR. residues and optionally some framework region residues are substituted by residues from analogous sites in rodent antibodies (e.g., murine monoclonal antibodies),

[00159] Human antibodies can also be produced, for example, by using phage display libraries. Hoogenboom et al. ( 1 91) J. Mol. Biol, 227:381 ; Marks et al (1991) J. Mol. Biol. 222:581 . Other methods for preparing human monoclonal antibodies are described by Cole et al. (1985) "Monoclonal Antibodies and Cancer Therapy," Alan R. Liss, p, 77 and Boerner et al. ( 1 1) J. Immunol. 147:86-95.

[00160] Human antibodies can be made by introducing human immunoglobulin loci into transgenic animals (e.g. , mice) in which the endogenous

immunoglobulin genes have been partially or completely inactivated. Upon immunological challenge, human antibody production is observed, which closely resembles that seen in humans in all respects, including gene rearrangement, assembly, and antibody repertoire. This approach is described, for example, in U.S. Patent Nos. 5,545,807; 5,545,806; 5,569,825; 5,625,126; 5,633,425;

5,661 ,016, and in the following scientific publications: Marks et al. ( 1992) Bio/Technology 10:779-783 (1992); Lonberg m at (1994) Nature 368: 856-859; Morrison (J 994) Nature 368:812-813; Fishwaid et l f 1996) Nature

Biotechnology 14:845-851 ; Neuberger (1996) Nature Biotechnology 14:826; and Lonberg a al (] 99S) Intern. Rev. Immunol 13:65-93.

[00161 j Antibodies can be affinity matured using known selection and/or mutagenesis methods as described above. In some embodiments, affinity matured antibodies have an affinity which is live times or more, ten times or more, twenty times or more, or thirty times or more than that of the starting antibody ί generally murine, rabbit, chicken, humanized or human) from which the matured antibody is prepared,

[00162] An antibody can also be a bispecifie antibody, Bispecilk antibodies are monoclonal, and may be human or humanized antibodies that have binding specificities for at least two different antigens. In the present case, the two different binding specificities can be directed to two different MPs, or to two different epitopes on a single MM? (e.g. , MMP9).

[00 J 63] An antibody as disclosed herein can also be an inmiunoconjugale. Such immunoconjugates comprise an antibody (e.g., to M.MF9) conjugated to a second molecule, such as a reporter. An imniurtoconjugate can also comprise an antibody conjugated to a cytotoxic agent such as a chemotherapeuric agent, a toxin (e.g.. an enxymaiieaily active toxin, of bacterial fungal, plant, or animal origin, or fragments thereof), or a radioactive isotope (i.e., a radioconjugatc).

[00164] An. antibody that "specifically binds to" or is "specific for" a particular polypeptide or an epitope on a particular polypeptide is one that binds to that particular polypeptide or epitope without substantially binding to any other polypeptide or polypeptide epitope. In same embodiments, an antibody of the present disclosure specifically binds to human MMP9 with a dissociation constant (K<s) equal to or lower than 100 nM, optionally lower than 10 nM, optionally lower than 1 nM, optionally lower than 0.5 nM, optionally lower than 0.1 nM, optionally lower than 0.01 nM, or optionally lower than 0.005 nM; in the form of monoclonal antibody, scFv, Fab, or other form of antibod measured at a temperature of about 4°C 25^CC, 3TC or 42°C. |00I6S| In certain embodiments, use of an antibody of the present disclosure binds to on or more processing sites (e.g., sites of proteolytic cleavage) in. MMP9. thereby effecti vely blocking processing of the proenzyme or preproenzyrae to the catalytically active enzyme, and thus reducing the proteolytic activity of the MMP9.1n certain embodiments, use of an antibody according to the present disclosure binds to MMP9 with an affinity at least 2 times, at least 5 times, at least 10 times, at least 25 times, at least 50 times, at least 100 times, at least 500 times, or at least 1000 times greater than its binding affinity for another MM P. Binding affinity can be measured by any method known in the art and can be expressed as, for example, on-rate, off-rate, dissociation constant {¾). equilibrium constant (K_SK) or any term in the art.

[00166] in certain embodiments, use of an antibody according to the present disclosure is a non-competitive inhibitor of the catalytic activity of MMP9. in certain embodiments, an antibody according to the present disclosure binds Within the catalytic domain of MMP9. In additional embodiments, an antibody according to the present disclosure binds outside the catalytic domain of MMP9. 100167] The present disclosure also contemplates use in the methods, regimens, kits, and articles of manufacture herein of antibodies, or antigen binding fragments thereof, that compete with anti«MMP9 antibodies or antigen binding fragments thereof described herein for binding to MMP9. Thus, the present disclosure contemplates use of anti-MMP9 antibodies, and .functional fragments thereof, that compete for binding with, for example, an antibody having a heavy chain polypeptide of any of SEQ ID NOS: 1 or 5-8, a light chain polypeptide of SEQ ID OS:2 or 942, or combinations thereof. In one embodiment, the anti- MMP9 antibody, for functional fragment thereof, competes for binding to human MMP9 with the antibody described herein as AB004I . MMP9 sequence

100195] MMP9 binding proteins, as well as nucleic acid (e.g., DNA or RNA) encoding MMP9 binding proteins, can be pro vided as a pharmaceutical composition, e.g., combined with a pharmaceutically acceptable earner or exeipieni. Such pharmaceutical compositions are useful for, for example, administration to a subject in vivo or ex vivo, and for diagnosing and/or treating a subject with the MMP9 binding proteins.

[00196] Pharmaceutically acceptable carriers are physiologically acceptable to the administered patient and retain the therapeutic properties of the antibodies or peptides with which it is administered, Pha aceuiscaliy-aoceptabie carriers and their formulations are and generally described in, for example. Remington' pharmaceutical Sciences (18th Edition, ed. A. Gennaro, Mack Publishing Co., Easton, PA 1 90), One exemplary pharmaceutical earner is physiological saline. Each carrier is "pharmaceutically acceptable" in the sense of being compatible with the other ingredients of the formulation and not substantially injurious to ihe patient,

[00197] Pharmaceutical compositions can be formulated to be compatible with a particular route of administration, systemic or local, Thus, pharmaceutical compositions include carriers, diluents, or excipi nts suitable for administration by various routes.

[001 8] Pharmaceutical compositions can include pharmaceutically acceptable additives,. Examples of additives include, but are not limited to. a sugar such as marmiiol, sorbitol, glucose, xylitol, trehalose, sorbose, sucrose, galactose, dextran, dextrose, fructose, lactose and mixtures thereof. Pharmaceutically acceptable additives can be combined with pharmaceutically acceptable carriers and/or excipients such as dextrose. Additives also include surfactants such as polysorbate 20 or polysorbate 80.

[00199] The formulation and delivery methods will generally be adapted according to the site and the disease to be treated. Exemplary formulations include, but are not limited to, those suitable for parenteral administration, e.g., intravenous, infra-arterial, intramuscular, or subcutaneous administration.

[00200] Pharmaceutical compositions for parenteral delivery include, for example, water, saline, phosphate buffered saline, Hank's solution.

For example, the solution can contain sodium acetate, sodium lactate, sodium chloride, potassium chloride, calcium chloride, sorbitan monolaurate or trietbanolamine oleate. Additional parenteral formulations and methods axe described in Bai ( 1997) J, Neuroimraunol. 80:65 75: Warren (1997) j. Neurol. Sci. 152:31 38; and Tonegawa (1997) J, Exp, Med. 1 6:507 515. The parenteral preparation can be enclosed in ampules, disposable syringes or multiple dose vials made of glass or plastic.

(00201) Pharmaceutical compositions for intradermal or subcutaneous administration can include a sterile diluent, such as water, saline solution, fixed oils, polyethylene glycols, glycerine, propylene glycol or other synthetic solvents; antibacterial agents such as benzyl alcohol or methyl parahens; antioxidants such as ascorbic acid, glutathione or sodium bisulfite; chelating agents such as ethylenedianiinetetra acetic acid; buffers such as acetates, citrates or phosphates and agents tor the adjustment of tonicity such as sodium chloride or dextrose.

(00202) Pharmaceutical compositions for injection include aqueous solutions (where water soluble.) or dispersions and sterile powders for the extemporaneous preparation of sterile injectable solutions or dispersion. For intravenous administration, suitable carriers include physiological saline, bacteriostatic water, Cremophor El-TM (BASF, Parsippany, N.J.) or phosphate buffered saline (PBS), The carrier can be a solvent or dispersion medium containing, for example, water, ethanol, polyol (for example, glycerol, propylene glycol, and liquid polyetheyiene glycol, and the like), and suitable mixtures thereof. Fluidity can be maintained, for example, by Ihe use of a coating such as lecithin, by the maintenance of the required particle size in the case of dispersion and by the use of surfactants. Antibacterial and antifungal agents include, for example, parabens,

ehlorobutano!, phenol, ascorbic acid and thimerosal, isotonic agents, for exampie, sugars, polyalcohols such as maniiol, sorbitol, and sodium chloride ma be included in the composition. The resulting solutions can be packaged for use as is, or lyophiiized; the lyophilked preparation can later be combined with a sterile solution prior to administration,

(00203) Pharmaceutically acceptable carriers can contain a compound thai stabilizes, increases or delays absorption or clearance. Such compounds include, for example, carbohydrates, ^'such as glucose, sucrose, or dextrans; low molecular weight proteins; compositions that reduce the clearance or hydrolysis of peptides; or excipients or other stabilizers and or buffers. Agents that delay absorption include, for example, aluminum raonostearate and gelatin. Detergents can also a s - be used to stabilize or to increase or decrease the absorption of the

pharmaceutical composition, including liposomal carriers. To protect from digestion the compound can be compkxed with a composition to render it resistant to acidic and enzymatic hydrolysis, or the compound can be complexed in an appropriately resistant carrier such as a liposome. Means of protecting compounds from digestion are known in the art (see, e.g., Fix (1 96) Pharm R.es. 13:1760 1764; Samanen (1996) J. Pharm. Pharmacol. 48: 119 135; and U.S. Pat. No. 5,391 ,377, describing lipid compositions for oral delivery of therapeutic agents).

Example 2

[00307) Material and Methods: The effect of the Combination of a BET inhibitor, (2-cyelopropyl-6-(3,5-dimethylisoxazol -4-yl)-lH-beit)¾⁾[d]imidazoI-4- yl)d^"i(pyridin-2-yl)methanol (Compound D)„ and BTK inhibitor (Compound Al) on growth inhibition of the human activated B cell (ABC) subtype DLBCL ceil line. TMD8, was evaluated in vitro. TMD8 cells were dosed with a matrix of Compound D (0 - 90 nM) andeompound Al (0 - 22 nM) and treated for four days, after which eel! viability was measured by a CeHTiter Glo assay. A representative heatmap of this dose matrix for cell growth inhibition is shown in FIG. 2 (0% to 100% growth inhibition). Both compounds reduced ceil growth over- he dose range; synergy was observed at concentrations of 5.8 - 90 nM of Compound D and 0.3 - 22 tM of Compound Al (FIG. 3). Synergy was defined as the excess over the predicted additive interaction between the compounds using Bliss analysis. The dose response curve for growth inhibition of

Compound I⁾ alone or in the presence of 5.5 nM or 1 1 nM of Compound Al is shown inFIG. 4 . The average 1C¾ values (concentration that causes half maximal inhibition of cell growth} for Compound. D were decreased from 25 nM to 11 nM and 8 nM by the presence of 5.5 nM and 1 i nM of Compound Al, respectively, and is consistent with a synergistic interaction.

Cell Viability Assay:

100308] Cells were plated at a density of 4,000 ceils per well in 384- well (Grenier 7 1086} tissue culture black well plates already spotted with compounds b a Labcy e Echo liquid handler. Cells were treated with an 8-point 2-fold dilution series of (Compound D starting at 90 nM (final DMSO concentration of 0.14%). Cells treated with DMSO alone were used as a positive control for 100% cell growth. Cells were treated with Compound D alone or in the presence of a dose range of Compound Al (6^»poini 2-fold dilution series ranging from 0.3 - 22 nM) for each dose of CompoundD. Ceils were incubated at 37*C for 96 hours and viability was measured using CellTiterG!o reagent as per the vendor's protocol. Curves were plotted in prism and IC½ valises were calculated with a 4- parameter variable biilslope non-linear fit. The predicted response under Bliss additivit for any combination of drugs at a given concentration pair was determined by a * Kb ~ Ra * Rb, where Ra and. Rb are the responses of Compounds D and Al (i.e., cell growth inhibition). The total Bliss score was determined by summing the differences between the observed values and the predicted additive value at each pair of concentrations assayed. Only values where the difference is greater than the 95% confidence interval of the measurements are included in the sum.
