Summary for Patent: 12,564,590
Title:Combinations of menin inhibitors and CYP3A4 inhibitors and methods of use thereof
Abstract:The present invention is directed to combinations of menin inhibitors with one or more CYP3A4 inhibitors, pharmaceutical compositions thereof, and methods of treating cancer and other diseases mediated by the menin-HLL interaction. Accordingly, the present disclosure provides compounds, e.g., of Formula (II), which inhibit menin and are useful in the treatment of diseases mediated by the menin-MLL interaction in combination with a strong CYP3A4 inhibitor.

Assignee: Syndax Pharmaceuticals Inc
Application Number:US17/917,193
Patent Claims: 1. A method of treating a leukemia in a human in need thereof comprising orally administering about 280-350 mg/day of a menin inhibitor of Formula (II), and a strong CYP3A4 inhibitor.

2. The method of claim 1, wherein the strong CYP3A4 inhibitor is selected from the group consisting of boceprevir, nefazodone, clarithromycin, nelfinavir, conivaptan, posaconazole, grapefruit juice, ritonavir, indinavir, saquinavir, itraconazole, telaprevir, ketoconazole, telithromycin, lopinavir, voriconazole, cobicistat, and mibefradil.

3. The method of claim 1, wherein the strong CYP3A4 inhibitor is an azole antifungal.

4. The method of claim 1, wherein the menin inhibitor and the strong CYP3A4 inhibitor are in separate unit doses.

5. The method of claim 1, wherein the menin inhibitor and the strong CYP3A4 inhibitor are administered concurrently, sequentially, simultaneously, essentially simultaneously or within a treatment protocol.

6. The method of claim 1, comprising administering about 300-340 mg/day of the menin inhibitor of Formula (II).

7. The method of claim 6, comprising administering about 310 mg/day of the menin inhibitor of Formula (II).

8. The method of claim 6, comprising administering about 320 mg/day of the menin inhibitor of Formula (II).

9. The method of claim 6, comprising administering about 330 mg/day of the menin inhibitor of Formula (II).

10. The method of claim 1, wherein the 280-350 mg/day dosage is divided into multiple doses which are administered twice daily.

11. The method of claim 10, wherein the 320 mg/day dosage is divided into multiple doses which are administered twice daily.

12. The method of claim 1, wherein the leukemia is mixed lineage leukemia (MLL), MLL-related leukemia, MLL-associated leukemia, MLL-positive leukemia, MLL-induced leukemia, rearranged mixed lineage leukemia (MLL-r), leukemia associated with a MLL rearrangement or a rearrangement of the MLL gene, acute leukemia, chronic leukemia, indolent leukemia, lymphoblastic leukemia, lymphocytic leukemia, myeloid leukemia, myelogenous leukemia, childhood leukemia, acute lymphocytic leukemia (ALL), acute myeloid leukemia (AML), acute granulocytic leukemia, acute nonlymphocytic leukemia, chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL), chronic myelogenous leukemia (CML), therapy related leukemia, myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS), myeloproliferative disease (MPD), myeloproliferative neoplasia (MPN), plasma cell neoplasm, multiple myeloma, myelodysplasia, cutaneous T-cell lymphoma, lymphoid neoplasm, AIDS-related lymphoma, thymoma, thymic carcinoma, mycosis fungoides, Alibert-Bazin syndrome, granuloma fungoides, Sezary Syndrome, hairy cell leukemia, T-cell prolymphocytic leukemia (T-PLL), large granular lymphocytic leukemia, meningeal leukemia, leukemic leptomeningitis, leukemic meningitis, multiple myeloma, Hodgkin's lymphoma, non-Hodgkin's lymphoma (malignant lymphoma), or Waldenstrom's macroglobulinemia.

13. The method of claim 1, wherein the leukemia is an acute leukemia.

14. The method of claim 1, wherein the leukemia is AML or ALL.

15. The method of claim 1, wherein the leukemia is a MLL-r leukemia.

16. The method of claim 1, wherein the leukemia is a nucleophosmin (NPM1)-mutated leukemia.

17. The method of claim 1, wherein the CYP3A4 inhibitor is selected from the group consisting of cobicistat, posaconazole, itraconazole, and voriconazole.

18. The method of claim 1, wherein the menin inhibitor of Formula (II) is administered as a pharmaceutically acceptable salt, solvate, and/or hydrate thereof.

19. A method of treating an NPM1-mutated leukemia or a MLL-r leukemia in a human in need thereof comprising orally administering about 320 mg/day of a menin inhibitor of Formula (II), wherein the menin inhibitor of Formula (II) is administered twice daily, and a strong CYP3A4 inhibitor.

20. The method of claim 19, wherein the strong CYP3A4 inhibitor is selected from the group consisting of boceprevir, nefazodone, clarithromycin, nelfinavir, conivaptan, posaconazole, grapefruit juice, ritonavir, indinavir, saquinavir, itraconazole, telaprevir, ketoconazole, telithromycin, lopinavir, voriconazole, cobicistat, and mibefradil.

21. The method of claim 19, wherein the strong CYP3A4 inhibitor is selected from the group consisting of cobicistat, posaconazole, itraconazole, and voriconazole.

22. The method of claim 19, wherein the strong CYP3A4 inhibitor is an azole antifungal.

23. The method of claim 19, wherein the menin inhibitor and the CYP3A4 inhibitor are in separate unit doses.

24. The method of claim 19, wherein the menin inhibitor and the strong CYP3A4 inhibitor are administered simultaneously.

25. The method of claim 19, wherein the menin inhibitor of Formula (II) is administered as a pharmaceutically acceptable salt, solvate, and/or hydrate thereof.

26. A method of treating an ALL or AML in a human in need thereof comprising orally administering about 320 mg/day of a menin inhibitor of Formula (II), and a strong CYP3A4 inhibitor.

27. The method of claim 26, wherein the strong CYP3A4 inhibitor is selected from the group consisting of boceprevir, nefazodone, clarithromycin, nelfinavir, conivaptan, posaconazole, grapefruit juice, ritonavir, indinavir, saquinavir, itraconazole, telaprevir, ketoconazole, telithromycin, lopinavir, voriconazole, cobicistat, and mibefradil.

28. The method of claim 26, wherein the strong CYP3A4 inhibitor is an azole antifungal.

29. The method of claim 26, wherein the menin inhibitor and the strong CYP3A4 inhibitor are in separate unit doses.

30. The method of claim 26, wherein the menin inhibitor of Formula (II) and the strong CYP3A4 inhibitor are administered concurrently, sequentially, simultaneously, essentially simultaneously or within the same treatment protocol.

31. The method of claim 26, wherein the 320 mg/day dosage of Formula (II) is divided into multiple doses which are administered twice daily.
