  • PARPi PARP inhibitors
  • the first human clinical trial of the PARPi drug Olaparib confirmed for the first time that PARPi can inhibit the growth of tumor cells carrying BRCA1/2 mutations, which is mainly based on the synthetic lethality theory (Ashworth, A., & Lord, CJ ( 2018). Synthetic lethal therapies for cancer: what's next after PARP inhibitors?. Nature r eviews. Clinical oncology, 15(9), 564–576. https://doi.org/10.1038/s41571-018-0055-6) : PARP inhibitors can inhibit the DNA single-strand damage repair function of PARP, resulting in a large number of single-stranded DNA damage in cells that cannot be repaired in time.
  • Unrepaired single-stranded DNA damage can trigger replication fork collapse and result in double-stranded DNA damage.
  • Double-stranded DNA damage with strong cytotoxicity can be mediated simultaneously in normal cells by proteins such as BRCA1 and BRCA2.
  • the source recombination repair (HR) pathway is repaired, but in BRCA1/2-deficient tumor cells, double-stranded DNA damage cannot be repaired, leading to the eventual death of the tumor cells.
  • HR The source recombination repair
  • PARPi was originally developed for radiotherapy and chemotherapy sensitization, and there are also preclinical studies supporting the development of PARPi as a single drug for the treatment of BRCA1/2 gene-deficient cancers. Therefore, the initial target population for testing the PARPi-BRCA hypothesis was selected as BRCA1/2 germline mutation (gBRCA1/2) carriers.
  • niraparib and rucaparib FDA and EMA approved niraparib maintenance regimen regardless of BRCA1/2 status
  • rucaparib Talazoparib has also been registered by the FDA and EMA as an optional treatment option for patients with BRCA1/2 mutation-related ovarian cancer who have previously received two lines of chemotherapy

  • TH-302 has a broad spectrum of biological activities in vivo and in vitro, as well as specific hypoxia selective activation activity and induction of H2AX phosphorylation and DNA cross-linking activities, leading to cell cycle arrest. Therefore, this compound has been studied by many pharmaceutical companies and scientific research institutes. Development of anticancer drugs.

Studies have shown that the in vitro cytotoxicity of TH-302 in 32 human cancer cell lines under hypoxic conditions was significantly stronger than that under normoxic conditions, indicating that the compound has selective cytotoxicity to cancer cells in a hypoxic environment.
  • POR one-electron reductase
  • Cytochrome P450 oxidoreductase reduces TH-302, a prodrug, to obtain intermediate free radical anions, which are then unstable and decomposed into the cytotoxic cytotoxin Br-IPM.
  • the key step in this step is the single-electron reduction process. Research has confirmed that the presence of oxygen will reverse the single-electron reduction process. That is to say, the presence of oxygen will hinder the single-electron reduction process. Therefore, only in an oxygen-deficient environment, TH-302 can It can be reduced to produce Br-IPM with stronger cytotoxicity.

Abstract

本发明提供TH-302及其类似物单药或联用PARP抑制剂治疗癌症的方法,特别是TH-302单药治疗对PARP抑制剂敏感的癌症患者、TH-302联用PARP抑制剂治疗癌症患者。

Description

使用TH-302单药或联用PARP抑制剂治疗癌症的方法 技术领域
本发明涉及癌症的治疗方法,特别是PARP抑制剂(PARPi)敏感的癌症患者的治疗方法。
背景技术
PARPi药物奥拉帕利Olaparib的第一个人体临床试验,首次证实了PARPi可抑制携带BRCA1/2突变的肿瘤细胞的生长,这主要基于合成致死性理论(Ashworth,A.,& Lord,C.J.(2018).Synthetic lethal therapies for cancer:what's next after PARP inhibitors?.Nature r eviews.Clinical oncology,15(9),564–576.https://doi.org/10.1038/s41571-018-0055-6):PARP抑制剂可以抑制PARP的DNA单链损伤修复功能,导致细胞内大量单链DNA损伤不能及时修复。未被修复的单链DNA损伤会引发复制叉崩解并由此产生双链DNA损伤,具有较强细胞毒性的双链DNA损伤在正常细胞内可通过BRCA1及BRCA2等蛋白共同参与介导的同源重组修复(HR)途径进行修复,而在BRCA1/2缺陷的肿瘤细胞内,双链DNA损伤无法修复,导致肿瘤细胞的最终死亡。PARPi最初开发用于放射治疗和化疗增敏,也有临床前研究支持PARPi可以作为治疗BRCA1/2基因缺陷癌症的单一药物进行开发。由此,PARPi-BRCA假说验证的初始目标人群选定为BRCA1/2胚系突变(gBRCA1/2)携带者。PARPi在卵巢癌中的最初研究入组人群均是既往已接受过铂类化疗,且研究发现铂类敏感与PARPi响应有直接关联(铂类化疗药是DNA损伤剂,会导致DNA交联,部分可由HR通路修复;因此DNA修复缺陷型肿瘤预期会对铂类化疗敏感)。另外两个PAR Pi已在卵巢癌中获批:尼拉帕利Niraparib和芦卡帕利Rucaparib:FDA和EMA批准了尼拉帕利的维持治疗方案(不管BRCA1/2状态如何);芦卡帕利也被FDA和EMA登记为BRCA1/2突变相关卵巢癌患者,既往接受过两线化疗方案之后的可选治疗方案;而他拉唑帕利现也得到了FDA的获批,用于治疗BRCA突变/HER-2阴性转移性乳腺癌(Mateo,J.,Lord,C.J.,Serra,V.,Tutt,A.,J.,Castroviejo-Bermejo,M.,Cruz,C.,Oakni n,A.,Kaye,S.B.,& de Bono,J.S.(2019).A decade of clinical development of PA RP inhibitors in perspective.Annals of oncology:official journal of the European Socie ty for Medical Oncology,30(9),1437–1447.https://doi.org/10.1093/annonc/mdz192)。
发明内容
TH-302(Evofosfamide,埃夫索胺,cas号918633-87-1)是一种2-硝基咪唑引发的乏氧激活前药(HAP)溴代异磷酰胺。在乏氧情况下,无活性TH-302前药可释放高毒性的Br-IPM。TH-302具有广谱的体内外生物活性以及特异的乏氧选择性激活活性以及诱导H2AX磷酸化、DNA交联活性,从而导致细胞周期停滞,因而该化合物被多家制药公司以及科研院所进行抗癌药物的开发。
Meng F Y(孟繁英)等人发表的研究文章指出:TH-302对于各种肿瘤具有广谱活性,并且具有优异的缺氧选择性的活性增强效应。研究表明,缺氧条件下32个人癌细胞系中TH-302的体外细胞毒性均明显强于常氧条件下的,显示该化合物对于缺氧环境下的癌细胞具有选择性的细胞毒性。使用单电子还原酶(POR)过表达的人源细胞证实了TH-302在乏氧条件下单电子还原酶依赖性的活性增强原理,如下反应式1:
细胞色素P450氧化还原酶将TH-302这个前药进行还原,得到中间体自由基负离子,然后自由基负离子不稳定而被分解为具有细胞毒性的细胞毒素Br-IPM发挥作用。该步骤的关键步骤是单电子还原过程,研究证实氧气的存在会使得单电子还原过程逆转,也就是说,氧气的存在会阻碍单电子还原过程,所以只有乏氧的环境下,TH-302才可还原产生具有更强细胞毒性的Br-IPM。进一步使用基于中国仓鼠卵巢细胞的DNA修复突变细胞系,包括缺乏碱基切除、核苷酸切除,非同源末端连接修复的细胞系或同源末端连接修复的细胞系(该细胞系为缺乏同源依赖性修复的细胞系)检测TH-302的体外细胞毒性。研究发现缺乏同源末端连接修复单独缺损或与核苷酸切除共同修复缺损的细胞系,对TH-302缺氧敏感性明显增强。但是单独缺损碱基切除、核苷酸切除或非同源末端连接修复的细胞系对TH-302敏感性无影响。与该发现一致的是,在缺乏BRCA1,BRCA2和FANCA DNA双链修复的细胞体外实验中中也观察到对TH-302的敏感性增强;并且在临床试验中也观察到TH-302对于BRCA基因突变的患者具有更好的治疗效果(Meng F,Evans J W,Bhupathi D,et al.Molecular and cellular pharmacology of the hypoxia-activated prodrug TH-302.[J].Molecular Cancer Therapeutics,2012,11(3):740;Conroy,M.,Borad,M.J.,& Bryce,A.H.(2017).Hypoxia-Activated Alkylating Agents in BRCA1-Mutant Ovarian Serous Carcinoma.Cureus,9(7),e1517.https://doi.org/10.7759/cureus.1517;WO2012135757A2,Methods for treating cancer;WO2015013448A1,Treatment of pancreatic cancer with a combination of a hypoxia-acti vated prodrug and a taxane;WO2020007106A1,埃夫索胺的抗癌医药用途)。
这些关于TH-302的作用机理研究,特别是揭示的TH-302对于BRCA突变的特别敏感性事实启发TH-302药物可能对某些癌症患者具有特别显著的治疗效果。发明人的实验结果进一步证明了TH-302治疗癌症的效果强于PARP抑制剂,即使是对于PARP抑制剂具有优异效果的BRCA致病突变的患者,为此本申请提供以下的癌症治疗方法。

“癌症”是指可通过侵袭而局部扩展且通过转移而全身扩展的潜在无限制生长的白血病、淋巴瘤、癌及其他恶性肿瘤(包括实体肿瘤)。
在此列举TH-302或其类似化合物能治疗的癌症的实例包括(但不限于)肾上腺、骨、脑、***、支气管、结肠及/或直肠、胆囊、头及颈、肾、喉、肝、肺、神经组织、胰脏、***、副甲状腺、皮肤、胃及甲状腺的癌症。癌症的某些其他实例包括急性及慢性淋巴细胞及粒细胞肿瘤、腺癌、腺瘤、基底细胞癌、子宫颈上皮分化不良及原位癌、尤文氏肉瘤、表皮样癌、巨细胞瘤、多型性神经胶母细胞瘤、毛细胞肿瘤、肠神经节细胞瘤、增生性角膜神经肿瘤、胰岛细胞癌、卡波西肉瘤、平滑肌瘤、白血病、淋巴瘤、恶性类癌瘤、恶性黑色素瘤、恶性高钙血症、马方样体型肿瘤、髓样上皮癌、转移性皮肤癌、黏膜神经瘤、骨髓瘤、蕈状肉芽肿、神经胚细胞瘤、骨肉瘤、骨原性及其他肉瘤、卵巢瘤、 嗜铬细胞瘤、真性红血球增多症、原发性脑瘤、小细胞肺癌、溃疡型及***型二者的鳞状细胞癌、增生、***瘤、软组织肉瘤、视网膜母细胞瘤、横纹肌肉瘤、肾细胞肿瘤、局部皮肤病灶、网状细胞肉瘤及威尔姆氏肿瘤。
PARP是一种酶,全称叫聚腺苷酸二磷酸核糖基聚合酶(Poly ADP-ribose Polymerase,PARP)。PARP是一种DNA单链修复酶,在DNA修复通路中起关键作用。DNA单链损伤断裂时会激活PARP,它作为DNA损伤的一种分子感受器,具有识别、结合到DNA断裂位置的功能,进而激活、催化受体蛋白的聚ADP核糖基化作用,参与DNA单链的修复过程。
PARP抑制剂通过抑制PARP酶的工作,让这些相当于修理工的PARP酶没法正常工作,DNA的单链损伤得不到修复,细胞就会死亡。
因为细胞并不是只有PARP这一个修理工,所以即使PARP出问题,细胞的DNA损伤被带到下一个工序中,还有另一个修理工例如双链修复在等待,仍然可以把DNA修复。BRCA基因负责产生的蛋白正是这另一个修理工的重要成员。正常细胞拥有这套双保险机制,即使PARP抑制剂破坏了其中一重保险,另一重仍然可以工作,所以细胞不会死亡。
但是在具有BRCA基因突变的卵巢癌或乳腺癌细胞,BRCA这个修理工已经不能正常工作。当然,由于PARP班组还在继续工作,所以癌细胞还不会死。
如果用PARP抑制剂让PARP也干不了活,癌细胞的DNA就无法修复了。这样,PARP抑制剂就实现了只杀死癌细胞而不杀正常细胞的作用。
PARP抑制剂+BRCA基因突变加起来就是我们所说的“合成致死(Synthetic Lethality)”,合成致死简单来讲指的是,当两种不同的基因(BRCA)或蛋白(PRAP)同时失去功能时会导致细胞死亡,而这两种基因/蛋白中如果只有一种失去功能则不会导致细胞死亡。
PARP抑制剂就是对PARP酶有抑制作用的化合物,即所有能抑制PARP酶活性的物质均是PARP抑制剂。

TH-302或其类似化合物治疗癌症的推荐剂量可以参考Threshold公司及其他制药公司的专利申请文本中(比如WO2016011195A2、WO2004087075A1、WO2007002931A1、WO2008151253A2、WO2009018163A1、WO2009033165A2、WO2010048330A2、WO2012142520A1、WO2008083101A2、WO2020007106A1、WO2020118251A1、WO2014169035A1、WO2013116385A1、WO2019173799A2、WO2016081547A1、WO2014062856A1、WO2015069489A1、WO2012006032A2、WO2018026606A2、WO2010048330A2、WO2015171647A1、WO2013096687A1、WO2013126539A2、WO2013096684A2、 WO2012009288A2、WO2012145684A2、WO2016014390A2、WO2019055786A2、WO2012135757A2、WO2015013448A2、WO2016011328A2、WO2013177633A2、WO2016011195A2、WO2015051921A2)以及FDA登记的临床试验中(NCT02402062、NCT02020226、NCT02076230、NCT01381822、NCT02093962、NCT01440088、NCT02255110、NCT02342379、NCT01864538、NCT01149915、NCT02433639、NCT00743379、NCT01485042、NCT01721941、NCT02047500、NCT00742963、NCT01497444、NCT00495144、NCT01746979、NCT01144455、NCT01403610、NCT01522872、NCT01833546、NCT02598687、NCT03098160、NCT02496832、NCT02712567)中的剂量:
120mg/m2至460mg/m2的日剂量来静脉注射给药;
480mg/m2至大约670mg/m2或者例如575mg/m2的周剂量来静脉注射给药。
用于临床试验的TH-302(用于施用溶液的浓缩物)是TH-302的无菌液体制剂。用70%无水乙醇、25%二甲基乙酰胺和5%聚山梨酯80配制TH-302。它由发起人提供,在具有橡胶塞和flip-off封口的10mL玻璃小瓶中。TH-302药物产品是澄清的、无色至淡黄色的溶液,基本上不含可见颗粒。对于标称总量为650mg的TH-302,每个单次使用的小瓶含有标称填充体积为6.5mL的TH-302药物产品(相当于100mg/mL),并且被清楚地贴上标签,其公开了批号、施用途径、所需的储存条件、发起人的名称和适用的规定所要求的适宜的预警标记。在施用前需要按照药房手册进行稀释。
在施用前用可商购获得的5%葡萄糖水溶液稀释至总体积为500mL(对于≥1000mg的总剂量为1000mL)施用,以获得所需的终浓度。用不含邻苯二甲酸二(2-乙基己基)酯(无DEHP)的5%葡萄糖水溶液制备每剂TH-302,并使用不含DEHP的静脉输液施用装置静脉滴注。
当然也可以使用Threshold公司开发的冻干制剂:
将TH-302(100mg)和蔗糖(1g)的溶液(20mL)加入冻干小瓶中并冻干以产生TH-302的冻干单位剂型,载药量不到5mg/cm3。为了人类施用的目的,将单位剂型溶解在的5%葡萄糖注射液中,并向患者施用适量的该溶液;
后续人类患者TH-302的I期临床试验给药方案使用冻干制剂,在100mL玻璃小瓶中制备注射用TH-302冻干制剂,载药量为100mg/100ml,在2-8℃°的受控条件下储存,使用时注射到冻干制剂瓶中250mL的5%葡萄糖注射液,并通过输注泵在30分钟内静脉滴注。
单药,即单药治疗。联用,即联合用药治疗。单药治疗是指在一个疗程中仅使用一种抗癌药物。联合治疗是指在一个疗程中同时或先后使用两种或两种以上的抗癌药物。
一般而言,联合治疗需要根据病情特点、联用药物种类探索不同的给药剂量、给药周期,只有根据上述情况,探索得到的联合用药治疗方案才可能取得较单一用药治疗好的治疗效果。
单药和联用治疗方案的药物给药剂量、给药周期均需要在参考上述TH-302及其类似化合物和PARPi的剂量、给药方案通过临床试验探索得到。

人类BRCA1基因和BRCA2基因突变检测试剂盒(可逆末端终止测序法),由厦门艾德生物医药科技股份有限公司开发,可用于PARP抑制剂奥拉帕利片的相关用药指导。
BRCA1、BRCA2突变包括胚系突变(gBRCAm)和体系突变(sBRCAm)的BRCA1、BRCA2突变。
式(1)的乏氧激活化合物选自以下结构的化合物:
即TH-302,以及特别的,优选TH-302。
进一步,所述癌症、肿瘤选自卵巢癌、乳腺癌、胰腺癌、输卵管癌、原发性腹膜癌、胃癌、***癌、非小细胞肺癌、小细胞肺癌、肝癌、结肠癌、直肠癌等。
所述的BRCA致病基因突变的TMB(肿瘤基因突变负荷)水平为中。
由于不同瘤种之间TMB(Tumor mutation load(burden)即肿瘤基因突变负荷)高低不同:一般认为:TMB超过20个突变/Mb(Mb代表的就是每百万个碱基),就是高;低于10个突变/Mb,就是低,处于中间的就是中。2017年世界肺癌大会上,施贵宝公司公布过一项名为CheckMate-032的临床试验结果。这是一项纳入了401名一线治疗失败的晚期肺癌患者的II期临床试验,接受PD-1抑制剂单独或联合伊匹木治疗。按照TMB高低划分成TMB高、TMB中、TMB低三类病人,那么在接受联合治疗的人群中,三组的有效率分别为62%、20%、23%,TMB高的人群有效率高3倍;而三组的中位总生存期,分别为:22.0个月、3.6个月、3.4个月——22.0个月与3.4个月,相差6倍!该试验证明,对于不同的癌症治疗药物,不同的TMB水平对于药物的疗效有很大的影响。
其中,所述癌症、肿瘤患者对PARP抑制剂是敏感的或耐药的。
敏感和耐药是评价患者对于一种药物是否具有抗性的定性判断,常见于微生物病原体与抗菌(细菌和真菌)药的药敏实验中。
敏感和耐药都是临床在进行药敏试验时,表现出来的两种不同的结果。所谓敏感就是在做药敏试验的时候,发现病原体对这种药物很敏感,也就是这种药能全部杀死病原体;而耐药就是在实验的时候发现这种药不能杀死病原体,也就是这种药物是没有效果的。另外临床得到这个结果的时候,对治疗就很有意义的,就可以选择比较敏感的药物治疗来杀死病原体。同时结果里面还有一个结果是中敏,就是中度敏感的意思,很容易产生耐药但也有可能有用,但疗效不会很好,不如敏感的治疗有效果。
在癌症治疗的化疗(相对于手术和放疗,这里的化疗是广义的,指使用药物治疗癌症)方案中,根据临床治疗指南,通常是次第使用一系列化疗药物:当首次施用的药物在施用一段时间后已经对于患者没有治疗效果或治疗效果很弱时,就认为该癌种患者已经对这种药物产生耐药或抵抗,此时需要使用其他药物(二线药物),对应的可能二线药物也会在 施用一段时间后出现耐药或抵抗,此时需要使用三线药物。敏感和耐药是有医学专业人员或临床医师进行诊断、判断。
显然,癌症、肿瘤患者对PARP抑制剂是敏感的具体意思是如果该患者经诊断为具有BRCA致病突变,在施用PARP抑制剂后有效果或通过医生的诊疗后判断PARP抑制剂将有效果,此种情况单用TH-302或PARP抑制剂联用TH-302将有更好的治疗效果。
也就是说,根据本发明施用TH-302将替代PAPR抑制剂,PAPR抑制剂的适应症TH-302均可以进行替代:市面上批准的PAPR抑制剂其适应症包括铂敏感的复发性上皮性卵巢癌、输卵管癌或原发性腹膜癌;携带胚系或体细胞BRCA突变晚期上皮性卵巢癌、输卵管癌或原发性腹膜癌,对应的TH-302将可能对这些适应症有效,且疗效优于PAPR抑制剂。
本发明还提供了一种治疗方法,包括以下步骤:
检测癌症、肿瘤患者的BRCA1、BRCA2基因突变情况;
如该患者具有BRCA1、BRCA2基因突变,则使用含有式(1)的乏氧激活化合物的药物单药或联用PARP抑制剂进行治疗:
其中,R各自独立地选自H、-CH3、-CH2CH3、-CF3,X各自独立地选自Cl、Br、MsO、TsO等离去官能团。
上述药物除含有式(1)的乏氧激活化合物外,还应根据药品、药物、制剂的特定,添加药学上可接受的辅料或赋形剂。所述药物可以为临床施用的任何剂型,例如片剂、栓剂、分散片、肠溶片、咀嚼片、口崩片、胶囊、糖衣剂、颗粒剂、干粉剂、口服溶液剂、注射用小针、注射用冻干粉针或大输液。根据具体剂型和施用方式,所述药物中的药学上可接受的辅料或赋形剂可以包括下述的一种或多种:稀释剂、增溶剂、崩解剂、悬浮剂、润滑剂、粘合剂、填充剂、矫味剂、甜味剂、抗氧化剂、表面活性剂、防腐剂、包裹剂、和色素等。
在使用时,可以单用上述药物或联合PARPi药物进行治疗。

其中,R各自独立地选自H、-CH3、-CH2CH3、-CF3,X各自独立地选自Cl、Br、MsO、TsO等离去官能团。
制剂单位包装是药品生产销售过程中的一个概念,指生产储运销售过程中,药品(药剂)被装载到独立的药品内包装容器中并在药品内包装容器外壁粘贴标签或印刷标签,最终具有标签、内转载有药剂的独立包装容器被放置到外包装组件(通常是一个纸质的包装盒,被消费者直接看到)中,而记载有药品最关键信息的药品说明书(Label)则也和独立包装容器一并被装进外包装组件中。
通常法定的药品说明书(Label)有以下法定的内容:
对美国而言,药品说明书label必须记载

以下提供本发明的具体实验。
一、TH-302在Olaparib敏感型的OV5304 PDX模型中的药效及安全性评价(E4354-B2136实验)
为了评价TH-302在Olaparib敏感模型中的体内药效,我们选用带有BRCA致病突变,并对Olaparib敏感的卵巢癌OV5304 PDX模型,该模型带有一个BRCA1的致病突变位点p.F580Kfs。
利用BALB/c nude雌性小鼠皮下接种模型OV5304瘤块,建立人卵巢癌皮下移植肿瘤模型。试验分为葡萄糖注射液对照组、测试药Olaparib 50mg/kg单药组、测试药TH-302 20mg/kg、40mg/kg和80mg/kg单药组及Olaparib 50mg/kg和TH-302 40mg/kg联用药组。其中,葡萄糖注射液对照组、测试药TH-302 20mg/kg、40mg/kg和80mg/kg单药组及Olaparib 50mg/kg和TH-302 40mg/kg联用药组中的TH-302 40mg/kg是尾静脉注射给药,每周给药一次,连续给药三周。测试药Olaparib 50mg/kg单药组和Olaparib 50mg/kg和TH-302 40mg/kg联用药组中的Olaparib 50mg/kg组是口服灌胃给药,每天给药一次,连续给药30天。具体给药方案和TGI如表1所示。
表1.在卵巢癌OV5304模型中各组药效分析数据


注:
1.数据以“平均值±标准误差”表示,即
2.T/C%=TRTV/CRTV×100%或T/C%=TTV/CTV×100%(TRTV:治疗组平均RTV;CRTV:溶媒对照组
平均RTV;RTV=Vt/V0,V0为分组时该动物的瘤体积,Vt为治疗后该动物的瘤体积,下同);
3.TGI%=(1-T/C)×100%(T和C分别为治疗组和对照组在某一特定时间点的平均相对肿瘤体积(RTV))。
对应的肿瘤体积随和小鼠体重百分比随时间变化的曲线图如图1、2所示。
药效方面:药效实验结果表明,在BRCA1致病突变的卵巢癌OV5304模型中,测试药Olaparib(50mg/kg)单药治疗组在首次给药后的第30天有显著的抑瘤作用,相对肿瘤抑制率TGI(%)为96.16%,相较对照组统计学上有显著性差异(p<0.001)。测试药TH-30220mg/kg治疗组、TH-302 40mg/kg和TH-302 80mg/kg单药治疗组在首次给药后的第30天也表现出显著的抑瘤作用,相对肿瘤抑制率TGI(%)分别为82.81%、97.98%和100%,相较对照组统计学上有显著性差异,p值分别为p<0.01、p<0.001和<0.001,并且TH-302单药在该模型中表现出剂量依赖性。
我们选用TH-302单药的中间剂量组40mg/kg和Olaparib 50mg/mg剂量组进行联用,检测两个单药在该Olaparib敏感模型中是否有协同效应。结果显示,联用组的相对肿瘤抑制率TGI(%)为100%,相较对照组统计学上有显著性差异(p<0.001)。
我们发现很难从相对肿瘤抑制率TGI的结果上区分Olaparib单药和TH-302各单药给药组以及联用药组的药效差异,但是我们的研究发现TH-302单药及联用药在肿瘤的清除能力上明显优于Olaparib单药治疗组。研究结果表明,Olaparib单药组的6只小鼠中,没有肿瘤被完全清除;TH-302 40mg/kg和80mg/kg单药组中,分别有1只和6只小鼠的肿瘤被完全清除,清除率分别为16.7%和100%。完全清除的结果也出现在TH-302 40mg/kg和Olaparib 50mg/kg联用治疗组中。结果显示,TH-302 40mg/kg只有1只小鼠的肿瘤被完全清除,而Olaparib单药组没有小鼠的肿瘤被完全清除,但是在相同剂量的联用药治疗组中,6只小鼠的肿瘤均被完全清除,清除率达到100%。各组小鼠TGI的统计学分析结果显示,TH-302 80mg/kg组相较Olaparib 50mg/kg对肿瘤增殖的抑制作用具有显著差异。同时,测试药TH-302 40mg/kg和Olaparib 50mg/kg联用治疗组抑瘤效果明显优于Oplaparib 50mg/kg单药治疗组和TH-30240mg/kg单药治疗组,且具有统计学意义,说明TH-302和Olaparib的抑瘤作用具有协同作用。
上述结果均表明:
1、TH-302在Olaparib敏感的卵巢癌OV5304 PDX模型中,无论TH-302单药还是与Olaparib联用药组均显示出明显优于Olaparib单药组的肿瘤清除能力和抗肿瘤增殖的能力;
2、进一步对比可知,TH-302单药治疗BRCA突变癌症模型的治疗疗效优于单药PAPR抑制剂Olaparib的疗效;
3、在实验中,观察到TH-302与PAPR抑制剂Olaparib联用的疗效优于各自单药治疗的效果。
总之,在疗效方面,即使实验模型为Olaparib敏感模型中,TH-302单用疗效明显优于PARP抑制剂Olaparib,且与Olaparib联用疗效更佳。
另在安全性方面,测试药TH-302和Olaparib各单药组及联用药治疗组小鼠没有出现任何明显的体重下降的现象,治疗期间耐受良好,初步显示两个药物在一定给药剂量水平下,联用具有一定的安全性。
二、TH-302在Olaparib耐药的胰腺癌Capan-1 CDX模型中的药效及安全性评价
方案:BALB/c裸小鼠皮下接种人源胰腺癌Capan-1细胞,建立人源胰腺癌皮下移植模型。
试验分为测试药Olaparib 100mg/kg单药组(Group 2)、TH-302 50mg/kg单药组(Group 3,QD)、TH-302 100mg/kg单药组(Group 4,QW)、TH-302 50mg/kg单药组(Group 5,QW)、TH-302 25mg/kg单药组(Group 6,QW)、TH-302 25mg/kg和Olaparib 100mg/kg联合给药组(Group 7)以及10%无水乙醇+10%聚氧乙烯(35)蓖麻油+80%葡萄糖注射液D5W(pH7.4)溶媒对照组(Group 1),共7组,每组6只小鼠。溶媒对照组、TH-302各测试药均为尾静脉注射给药。其中TH-302 50mg/kg单药组(Group 3,QD)每天给药一次,连续给药3天,休息4天,再休息两周;再每天给药,连续给药3天。TH-302 100mg/kg(Group 4,QW)、50mg/kg(Group 5,QW)、25mg/kg(Group 6,QW)单药组以及TH-302 25mg/kg和Olaparib 100mg/kg联合给药组(Group 7)中的TH-302,均为每周给药一次,共给药三周。各组中测试药Olaparib均为口服灌胃给药,每天给药一次,共给药30天。具体人源胰腺癌Capan-1动物模型中的给药途径、剂量及方案如表2所示。

上述数据表明:
溶媒对照组小鼠在肿瘤细胞接种后的第43天(Day 43)平均肿瘤体积为1301.38mm3。测试药Olaparib 100mg/kg(Group 2)治疗组在肿瘤细胞接种后的第43天(Day 43)平均肿瘤体积为846.86mm3,相对肿瘤抑制率TGI(%)为37.43%,相较对照组统计学上没有显著性差异(p>0.05)。
测试药TH-302 50mg/kg治疗组(Group 3,QD),在肿瘤细胞接种后的第43天(Day 43)平均肿瘤体积为146.99mm3,相较对照组统计学上有显著性差异(p<0.001),相对肿瘤抑制率TGI(%)为89.17%。测试药TH-302 100mg/kg治疗组(Group 4,QW),在肿瘤细胞接种后的第43天(Day 43)平均肿瘤体积为124.68mm3,相较对照组统计学上有显著性差异(p<0.001),相对肿瘤抑制率TGI(%)为90.89%。测试药TH-302 50mg/kg治疗组(Group 5,QW),在肿瘤细胞接种后的第43天(Day 43)平均肿瘤体积为263.45mm3,相较对照组统计学上有显著性差异(p<0.001),相对肿瘤抑制率TGI(%)为80.18%,肿瘤完全抑制率为33.3%。测试药TH-302 25mg/kg治疗组(Group 6,QW),在肿瘤细胞接种后的第43天(Day 43)平均肿瘤体积为1521.33mm3,相较对照组统计学上没有显著性差异(p>0.05),相对肿瘤抑制率TGI(%)为-21.59%。Olaparib 100mg/kg和TH-302 25mg/kg的联合治疗组(Group 7),在肿瘤细胞接种后的第43天(Day 43)平均肿瘤体积为378.56mm3,相较对照组统计学上有显著性差异(p<0.001),相对肿瘤抑制率TGI(%)为74.36%。
TH-302 100mg/kg(Group 4,QW)、50mg/kg(Group 5,QW)和25mg/kg(Group 6,QW)单药治疗组表现出药物抑瘤作用的剂量依赖性。TH-302 100mg/kg(Group 4,QW)、50mg/kg(Group 5,QW)单药治疗组相较TH-302 25mg/kg单药治疗组(Group 6,QW)统计学上均有显著性差异(p均<0.001)。
Olaparib 100mg/kg与TH-302 25mg/kg的联合治疗组(Group 7)抗肿瘤作用优于Olaparib 100mg/kg(Group 2)以及TH-302 25mg/kg单药组(Group 6),统计学上有显著性差异(p<0.05以及p<0.001),Olaparib与TH-302联用的特定剂量组合可以显示出抑瘤效果的协同作用。
测试药Olaparib 100mg/kg(Group 2)、TH-302 25mg/kg(Group 6)、TH-302 50mg/kg(Group 3,QD)、TH-302 50mg/kg(Group 5,QW)、TH-302 100mg/kg(Group 4,QW)、Olaparib 100mg/kg和TH-302 25mg/kg联合给药组(Group 7)、溶媒对照组(Group 1)小鼠体重均没有明显下降,耐受良好。
上述研究结果表明:
1、一定剂量的TH-302单药治疗方案在Olaparib耐药(TGI在六只实验小鼠中统计平均值为37.43%,技术人员一般的判断基准为60%左右,该结果显示一定程度的耐药)的胰腺癌模型中显示出优异的抗肿瘤效果(Group 3、Group 4、Group 5);而低剂量的TH-302单药治疗方案无抗肿瘤疗效(Group 6)。
2、进一步的,使用低剂量TH-302与Olaparib联用能对Olaparib耐药的胰腺癌模型显示抗肿瘤效果(Group 7);
也就是说,对于Olaparib耐受的患者,或者只能接受TH-302低剂量治疗的患者(在这种低剂量的治疗方案中,肿瘤生长被抑制的效果较差或不能有效抑制),通过TH-302与Olaparib的联用能够达到肿瘤治疗效果,联用方案将为他们提供一种新的治疗选择。
总而言之,TH-302与Olaparib联用方案,将扩展两种药物的使用场景,使这两种药物各自均没有明显疗效的单药剂量给药方案患者,通过联用方案得到治疗效果而获益,且没有明显降低安全性。
虽然本申请实施例中选用的PARP抑制剂为奥拉帕利Olaparib,但芦卡帕利Rucaparib、尼拉帕利Niraparib、他拉唑帕利Talazoparib、氟唑帕利Fluzoparib、帕米帕利Pamiparib等同样属于PARP抑制剂,作用机理与奥拉帕利Olaparib类似,均是阻断参与修复受损DNA酶发挥作用,因此,可以推定,芦卡帕利Rucaparib、尼拉帕利Niraparib、他拉唑帕利Talazoparib、氟唑帕利Fluzoparib、帕米帕利Pamiparib等PARPi具有与上述实验中的奥拉帕利Olaparib类似的肿瘤抑制疗效。
TH-302为乏氧活化的DNA烷化剂,权利要求1的通式化合物:
在相关专利申请中已被证明是与TH-302类似的机理,因此这类化合物具有与TH-302类似的效果是完全可以预测的。
