In some embodiments, the (S)—N-((4-(((1,4-dioxan-2-yl)methyl)amino)-3-nitrophenyl)sulfonyl)-2-((1H-pyrrolo[2,3-b]pyridin-5-yl)oxy)-4-(4-((6-(4-chlorophenyl)spiro[3.5]non-6-en-7-yl)methyl)piperazin-1-yl)benzamide. In some embodiments, the method further comprises administering a second anti-cancer agent to the patient before, during or after the administering of a CYP2C8 (and/or another drug that may cause a drug/drug interaction, such as a CYP3A4 inhibitor, or a food such as grapefruit juice).

Definitions

[0382] For convenience, certain terms used in the specification, examples, and appended claims are collected here.

[0383] The phrase “combination therapy,” as used herein, refers to co-administering Bcl-2 inhibitor and at least one other anti-cancer agent, for example, where the other anti-cancer agent is an FTL3 inhibitor or a CDK4/6 inhibitor, as part of a specific treatment regimen intended to provide the beneficial effect from the co-action of these therapeutic agents. The beneficial effect of the combination includes, but is not limited to, pharmacokinetic or pharmacodynamic co-action resulting from the combination of therapeutic agents. Administration of these therapeutic agents in combination typically is carried out over a defined time period (usually weeks, months or years depending upon the combination selected). Combination therapy is intended to embrace administration of multiple therapeutic agents in a sequential manner, that is, wherein each therapeutic agent is administered at a different time, as well as administration of these therapeutic agents, or at least two of the therapeutic agents, in a substantially simultaneous manner. Substantially simultaneous administration can be accomplished, for example, by administering to the subject a single tablet or capsule having a fixed ratio of each therapeutic agent or in multiple, single capsules for each of the therapeutic agents. Sequential or substantially simultaneous administration of each therapeutic agent can be effected by any appropriate route including, but not limited to, oral routes, intravenous routes, intramuscular routes, and direct absorption through mucous membrane tissues. The therapeutic agents can be administered by the same route or by different routes. For example, a first therapeutic agent of the combination selected may be administered by intravenous injection while the other therapeutic agents of the combination may be administered orally. Alternatively, for example, all therapeutic agents may be administered orally or all therapeutic agents may be administered by intravenous injection.

[0384] Combination therapy also can embrace the administration of the therapeutic agents as described above in further combination with other biologically active ingredients and non-drug therapies. Where the combination therapy further comprises a non-drug treatment, the non-drug treatment may be conducted at any suitable time so long as a beneficial effect from the co-action of the combination of the therapeutic agents and non-drug treatment is achieved. For example, in appropriate cases, the beneficial effect is still achieved when the non-drug treatment is temporally removed from the administration of the therapeutic agents, perhaps by days or even weeks.

[0385] The components of the combination may be administered to a patient simultaneously or sequentially. It will be appreciated that the components may be present in the same pharmaceutically acceptable carrier and, therefore, are administered simultaneously. Alternatively, the active ingredients may be present in separate pharmaceutical carriers, such as, conventional oral dosage forms, that can be administered either simultaneously or sequentially.

[0386] It is contemplated that the combination of active ingredients will not only provide a greater degree of goal attainment, but it will also permit the goals to be achieved at lower dosages of the individual active ingredients thereby reducing the incidence and/or severity of dose-related adverse events associated with the individual active ingredients. It is contemplated that, for example, inhibition of cell growth of cancer cells by using, for example, a Bcl2 inhibitor in combination with an FTL3 inhibitor be superior to use of either agent alone. In some cases, use of a combination provides effects that are synergistic, i.e. more than the effect expected from simple addition of the effects of the individual drugs.

[0387] For example, the compositions can be used to reduce the growth of cancer cells to meet a clinical end-point but with fewer or reduced adverse events than (i) when the Bcl2 inhibitor is administered alone in a monotherapy at a dosage sufficient to achieve or substantially achieve (for example, within 10%) the clinical end-point or (ii) when the Bcl2 inhibitor is administered together with another anti-cancer agent, where the Bcl2 inhibitor and the other anti-cancer agent are administered at dosages sufficient to achieve or substantially achieve the clinical end-point

[0388] An “effective amount” includes the amount of the subject compound that will elicit the biological or medical response of a tissue, system, animal or human that is being sought by the researcher, veterinarian, medical doctor or other clinician. A compound described herein, e.g., Compound A, is administered in effective amounts to treat a condition, e.g., a hematologic malignancy. Alternatively, an effective amount of a compound is the quantity required to achieve a desired therapeutic and/or prophylactic effect, such as an amount which results in the prevention of or a decrease in the symptoms associated with the condition.

[0389] “Individual,” “patient,” or “subject” are used interchangeably herein and include any animal, including mammals, including mice, rats, other rodents, rabbits, dogs, cats, swine, cattle, sheep, horses, or primates, and humans. The compounds described herein can be administered to a mammal, such as a human, but can also be administered to other mammals such as an animal in need of veterinary treatment, e.g., domestic animals (e.g., dogs, cats, and the like), farm animals (e.g., cows, sheep, pigs, horses, and the like) and laboratory animals (e.g., rats, mice, guinea pigs, and the like). The mammal treated in the methods described herein is desirably a mammal in which treatment of a disorder described herein is desired, such as a human.

Example 1: Study Methods

WST Experiment

[0396] Cell plating: Anti-proliferative effects were detected by a CCK-8 (Cell Counting Kit-8) assay based on water soluble tetrazolium salt (WST). The cells were seeded in 96-well plates, and only 95 μL of complete medium was added to each negative control group. 95 μL of complete medium cell suspension was added to each well to be tested, and the cell density was (5-10)×10{circumflex over ( )}4/hole.

[0397] Dosing (protection from light): In 96-well culture plates, according to the sensitivity of different cells to different drugs, the highest concentration was selected as 10 μM, and 9 concentrations were obtained by serial dilution in a ratio of 1:3. 5 μL of compound was added to each well and 2-3 replicate wells were made for per concentration. After the compound was added, 96-well plates were incubated in a 5% C02 incubator at 37° C. After 72 hours of action by using 9 different concentrations of the drug with 3 fixed doses of Compound 5, the combination effect of Compound 5 and the drug was tested.

[0398] Reading: At the end of the culture, the old solution was removed from the well to be tested, and 100 μl/well CCK-8 test solution (containing 10% CCK-8, 5% FBS in the corresponding medium) was added. The plates were continuously incubated at 37° C. for 2-4 hours in a CO.sub.2 incubator.

[0399] The OD values were measured using a microplate reader (SpectraMax Plus 384, Molecular Devices, LLC., US) under A450 nm. Using the average OD value of 3 replicate wells, the percentage of cell viability was calculated by the following formula:

(O.D. of test well−O.D. of blank control well)/(O.D. of cell control well−O.D. of blank control well)×100%.

[0400] For combination experiments, cell viability was calculated by normalization of the mean OD values of 3 replicate wells of single drug control. The comparison of the IC50 values obtained from the curves of combined drugs of administration and single drug of administration shows that the two compounds achieved synergistic effect (the curve of the combined drugs of administration shifted to the left).

Cell Viability Assays

[0401] Cell viability was determined using CellTiter-Glo® luminescent cell viability assay (Promega) or WST assay (Cell counting Kit-8, Shanghai life iLab, China) by following manufacturer's instruction. Cell viability was calculated as cell viability=(mean RLU sample−mean RLU blank)/(RLU cell control−RLU blank)×100. IC.sub.50 value was calculated using GraphPad Prism. Combination index (CI) value was calculated by CalcuSyn software (BIOSOFT, UK). CI<0.9 indicate a synergistic combination effect. CI<0.1 scored as 5+ indicates very strong synergistic combination effect, CI between 0.1 and 0.3 scored as 4+ indicates strong synergistic combination effect, CI between 0.3 and 0.7 scored as 3+ indicates medium synergistic combination effect.

Caspase-Glo® 3/7 Assay

[0402] Activation of caspase 3/7 during apoptosis included by the treatment with drugs or their combinations was quantitatively assessed by the Caspase-Glo® 3/7 Assay kit (Promega). The procedures of cell seeding and drug dilutions were the same to the above section 3.1. Cells in 96-well plate were treated with drugs or their combination as indicated for 72 hours and then equilibrated to room temperature for 30 minutes. Thirty μL of Caspase-Glo® 3/7 reagent that requires protection from light was added to each well, thoroughly mixed to produce cell lysis. The 96-well plate was kept at room temperature for another 30 minutes to stabilize the luminescent signal. Luminescence signals were detected using a Biotek synergy H1 microplate reader. Caspase 3/7 activation curves were plotted using Graphpad Prism 6.0 software 4.

Flow Cytometry Analysis-Apoptosis Measurement

[0403] Apoptosis was detected using an Annexin V-PI (propidium iodide) staining kit. Briefly, cells were harvested 24-72 hours after the treatment and washed with PBS. Cells were then stained with Annexin-V and PI, analyzed by an Attune N×T flow cytometer following manufacturer's instruction. Apoptosis data were obtained by analyzing 20,000 cells from each experimental condition. Apoptotic primary AML cells were detected by Annexin V-PI staining in CD45+CD33+ cell population. The data were analyzed by the FlowJo software.

Evaluation Method for In Vivo Pharmacodynamic Experiment

[0404] A subcutaneous xenograft tumor model of human tumor immunodeficient mice was established by cell inoculation: tumor cells in logarithmic growth phase were collected, counted, resuspended in 1×PBS, and the cell suspension concentration was adjusted to 2.5-5×10.sup.7/mL. The tumor cells were inoculated subcutaneously in the right side of immunodeficient mice with a 1 mL syringe (4 gauge needle), 5-10×10.sup.6/0.2 mL/mouse. All animal experiments were strictly in accordance with the specifications for the use and management of experimental animals in GenePharma Co., Ltd. and Suzhou Ascentage Pharma Co., Ltd. The calculation of relevant parameters refers to the Chinese NMPA “Guidelines for Non-Clinical Research Techniques of Cytotoxic Anti-tumor Drugs”.

[0405] Animal body weight and tumor size were measured twice weekly during the experiment. The state of the animal and the presence or absence of death were observed every day. The growth of tumor and the effects of treatment on normal behavior of animals were monitored routinely, specifically involving experimental animal activity, feeding and drinking, weight gain or loss, eyes, clothing hair and other abnormalities. The deaths and clinical symptoms observed during the experiment were recorded in the raw data. All operations for administration and measurement of mouse body weight and tumor volume were performed in a clean bench. According to the requirements of the experimental protocol, after the end of the last administration, plasma and tumor tissues were collected, weighed and photographed. The plasma and tumor samples were frozen at −80° C. for ready-to-use.

[0406] Tumor volume (TV) is calculated as: TV=a×b.sup.2/2, wherein a and b represent the length and width of the tumor to be measured, respectively.

[0407] The relative tumor volume (RTV) is calculated as: RTV=V.sub.t/V.sub.1, wherein V.sub.1 is the tumor volume at the start of grouping and administration, and V.sub.t is the tumor volume measured on the t day after administration.

[0408] The evaluation index of anti-tumor activity is the relative tumor proliferation rate T/C (%), and the calculation formula thereof is: relative tumor proliferation rate T/C (%)=(T.sub.RTV/C.sub.RTV)×100%, T.sub.RTV is the RTV of treatment group, C.sub.RTV is the RTV of solvent control group.

[0409] Tumor regression rate (%) is calculated as: the number of tumor-bearing mice which exhibit SD (stable disease), PR (partial regression) and CR (complete regression) after treatment/the total number of the mice in this group×100%.

Change of body weight (%)=(measured body weight−body weight at the start of grouping)/body weight at the start of grouping×100%.

[0410] Evaluation criteria for therapeutic efficiency: According to the Chinese NMPA “Guidelines for Non-Clinical Research Techniques of Cytotoxic Anti-tumor Drugs” (November 2006), when T/C (%) value is ≤40% and statistical analysis shows p<0.05, efficiency is confirmed. A dose of drug is considered to be severely toxic if the body weight of mouse is reduced by more than 20% or the number of drug-related deaths exceeds 20%.

[0411] According to the description by Clarke R., Issues in experimental design and endpoint analysis in the study of experimental cytotoxic agents in vivo in breast cancer and other models [J]. Breast Cancer Research & Treatment, 1997, 46(2-3): 255-278, synergy analysis was evaluated using the following formula: synergy factor=((A/C)×(B/C))/(AB/C); A=RTV value of drug A alone group; B=RTV value of drug B alone group; C=RTV value of the solvent control group, and AB=RTV value of the A and B combination group. Synergistic factor >1 indicates that synergy is achieved; synergy factor=1 indicates that additive effect is achieved; and synergy factor <1 indicates that antagonistic effect is achieved.

[0412] Use of mRECIST (Gao et al., 2015) measured tumor responses included stable disease (SD), partial tumor regression (PR), and complete regression (CR), determined by comparing tumor volume change at day t to its baseline: tumor volume change (%)=(V.sub.t−V1/V1). The BestResponse was the minimum value of tumor volume change (%) for t≥10. For each time t, the average of tumor volume changes from t=1 to t was also calculated. BestAvgResponse was defined as the minimum value of this average for t≥10. The criteria for response (mRECIST) were adapted from RECIST criteria (Gao et al., 2015; Therasse et al., 2000) and defined as follows: mCR, BestResponse <−95% and BestAvg Response <−40%; mPR, BestResponse <−50% and BestAvgResponse <−20%; mSD, BestResponse <35% and BestAvgResponse <30%; mPD, not otherwise categorized. SD, PR, and CR were considered responders and used to calculate response rate (%). Body weight of animals were monitored simultaneously. The change in body weight was calculated based on the animal weight of the first day of dosing (day 1). Tumor volume and changes in body weight (%) were represented as the mean t standard error of the mean (SEM).

Example 2: Combination of Compound A and Compound C Achieved Synergistic Antitumor Effect in s.c. MV-4-11 AML Xenograft

[0413] As shown in FIG. 1, single agents showed moderate antitumor activity. Combination treatment significantly enhances tumor repression.

[0414] As shown in FIG. 2, on D19 of treatment, tumor weights from the combination treatment groups are significantly smaller than single agent groups.
