Summary for Patent: 9,999,655
Title:Use of MKS inhibitor peptide-containing compositions for treating non-small cell lung cancer with same
Abstract: Pharmaceutical compositions, systems and methods for treating a non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) solid tumor comprising a population of tumor cells are described. In some aspects, administering a pharmaceutical composition comprising a therapeutic amount of a polypeptide having the amino acid sequence YARAAARQARAKALARQLGVAA (SEQ ID NO: 1) or functional equivalent thereof, and a pharmaceutically acceptable carrier, is effective to inhibit a kinase activity in the population of tumor cells and to reduce cancer cell proliferation, to reduce tumor size, to reduce tumor burden, to induce tumor cell death, to overcome tumor chemoresistance, to enhance tumor chemosensitivity, or a combination thereof.

Application Number:15/066,976
Patent Claims:1. A method for treating non-small cell lung cancer solid tumor comprising a population of tumor cells, the method comprising: administering to a subject in need thereof a pharmaceutical composition comprising a therapeutic amount of a polypeptide of the amino acid sequence YARAAARQARAKALARQLGVAA (SEQ ID NO: 1), and a pharmaceutically acceptable carrier thereof, wherein the therapeutic amount of the polypeptide is effective to inhibit kinase activity of the population of tumor cells, to reduce cancer cell proliferation, to reduce tumor size, to reduce tumor burden, to induce cancer cell death, to overcome tumor chemoresistance, to enhance tumor chemosensitivity, to slow progression of the population of tumor cells, or a combination thereof, and wherein at least 65% of kinase activity of mitogen-activated protein kinase-activated protein kinase 2 (MK2 kinase), mitogen-activated protein kinase-activated protein kinase 3 (MK3 kinase), Ca.sup.2+/calmodulin-dependent protein kinase I (CaMKI), and BDNF/NT-3 growth factors receptor (TrkB) is inhibited.

2. The method according to claim 1, wherein the tumor is selected from the group consisting of a primary tumor, a secondary tumor, a recurrent tumor, a refractory tumor and a combination thereof.

3. The method according to claim 2, wherein the primary tumor is selected from the group consisting of a squamous cell carcinoma, an adenocarcinoma, a large cell carcinoma and a combination thereof.

4. The method according to claim 2, wherein the secondary tumor is a metastatic tumor.

5. The method according to claim 4, wherein the metastatic tumor is a selected from the group consisting of an adrenal metastatic tumor, a bone metastatic tumor, a liver metastatic tumor, a brain metastatic tumor and a combination thereof.

6. The method according to claim 1, wherein the step of administering occurs intratracheally, parenterally, intravenously, intraperitoneally or by pulmonary administration.

7. The method according to claim 6, wherein the step of administering occurs by pulmonary administration.

8. The method according to claim 7, wherein the pulmonary administration is inhalation.

9. The method according to claim 1, wherein the pharmaceutical composition further comprises at least one additional therapeutic agent.

10. The method according to claim 9, wherein the additional therapeutic agent is a chemotherapeutic agent selected from the group consisting of afatinib dimaleate, bevacizumab, carboplatin, carboplatin-paclitaxol, ceritinib, cisplatin, crizotinib, docetaxel, erlotinib hydrochloride, gefitinib, qemcitabine-cisplatin, gemcitabine hydrochloride, mechlorethamine hydrochloride, methotrexate, paclitaxel, paclitaxel albumin-stabilized nanoparticle formulation, pemetrexed disodium, ramucirumab, vinorelbine tartrate, and a combination thereof.

11. The method according to claim 9, wherein the additional therapeutic agent is a glucocorticoid selected from the group consisting of prednisone, budesonide, mometasone furoate, fluticasone propionate, fluticasone furoate, and a combination thereof.

12. The method according to claim 9, wherein the additional therapeutic agent is a bronchodilator selected from the group consisting of a leukotriene modifer, an anticholingertic bronchodilator, a short-acting .beta.2-agonist, and long-acting .beta.2-agonist, and a combination thereof.

13. The method according to claim 9, wherein the additional therapeutic agent is an analgesic agent.

14. The method according to claim 9, wherein the additional therapeutic agent is an anti-infective agent.

15. The method according to claim 1, wherein the carrier is selected from the group consisting of a controlled release carrier, a delayed release carrier, a sustained release carrier, and a long-term release carrier.

16. The method according to claim 1, wherein the pharmaceutical composition is in a form of a dry powder.

17. The method according to claim 16, wherein the dry powder comprises microparticles with Mass Median Aerodynamic Diameter (MMAD) of 1 to 5 microns.

18. The method according to claim 1, wherein the pharmaceutical composition is administered via an inhalation device.

19. The method according to claim 18, wherein the inhalation device is a nebulizer.

20. The method according to claim 18, wherein the inhalation device is a metered-dose inhaler (MDI).

21. The method according to claim 18, wherein the inhalation device is a dry powder inhaler (DPI).

22. The method according to claim 18, wherein the inhalation device is a dry powder nebulizer.

23. The method according to claim 1, wherein the pharmaceutical composition comprises a first amount of the polypeptide of the amino acid sequence YARAAARQARAKALARQLGVAA (SEQ ID NO: 1) and a second amount of a chemotherapeutic agent, wherein the first amount and the second amounts together comprise an amount effective to inhibit kinase activity of the population of tumor cells, to reduce cancer cell proliferation, to reduce tumor size, to reduce tumor burden, to induce cancer cell death, to overcome tumor chemoresistance, to enhance tumor chemosensitivity, to slow progression of the population of tumor cells, or combination thereof.

24. The method according to claim 23, wherein the chemotherapeutic agent is cisplatin
