Emerging clinical evidence indicates that selective CDK9 inhibition may provide clinical benefits in the management of certain cancers. Many CDK9 selective inhibitors have entered clinical developments, and are being investigated. No clear winner has emerged because of unforeseen toxicity often observed in clinic with these agents. Therefore, a novel agent with differentiated profiles is still desirable. Herein, we report our design, syntheses of a novel azaindole series of selective CDK9 inhibitors. SAR studies led to a preclinical candidate YK-2168. YK2168 exhibited improved CDK9 selectivity over AZD4573 and BAY1251152; also showed differentiated intravenous PK profile and remarkable solid tumor efficacy in a mouse gastric cancer SNU16 CDX model in preclinical studies. YK-2168 is currently in clinical development in China (CTR20212900).

Targeting CDK9 with selective inhibitors or degraders in tumor therapy: an overview of recent developments

Review

Author: Xiao, Lanshu ; Shen, Lisong ; Liu, Yi ; Chen, Hui

As a catalytic subunit of the positive transcription elongation factor b (P-TEFb), cyclin-dependent kinase 9 (CDK9) has been demonstrated to contribute to carcinogenesis. This review focuses on the development of selective CDK9 inhibitors and proteolysis-targeting chimera (PROTAC) degraders. Twenty selective CDK9 inhibitors and degraders are introduced along with their structures, IC50 values, in vitro and in vivo experiments, mechanisms underlying their inhibitory effects, and combination regimens. NVP-2, MC180295, fadraciclib, KB-0742, LZT-106, and 21e have been developed mainly for treating solid tumors, and most of them work only on certain genotypes of solid tumors. Only VIP152 has been proven to benefit the patients with advanced high-grade lymphoma (HGL) and solid tumors in clinical trials. Continued efforts to explore the molecular mechanisms underlying the inhibitory effects, and to identify suitable tumor genotypes and combination treatment strategies, are crucial to demonstrate the efficacy of selective CDK9 inhibitors and degraders in tumor therapy.

Enitociclib, a Selective CDK9 Inhibitor, Induces Complete Regression of MYC+ Lymphoma by Downregulation of RNA Polymerase II Mediated Transcription

Article

Author: Wong, Harvey ; Stelte-Ludwig, Beatrix ; Mithal, Arushi ; Izumi, Raquel ; Frigault, Melanie M ; Mandava, Vinay ; Hamdy, Ahmed ; Birkett, Joseph ; Johnson, Amy J ; Huang, Xin

Abstract:

Double-hit diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DH-DLBCL) is an aggressive, and often refractory, type of B-cell non–Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL) characterized by rearrangements in MYC and BCL2. Cyclin-dependent kinase 9 (CDK9) regulates transcriptional elongation and activation of transcription factors, including MYC, making it a potential targeted approach for the treatment of MYC+ lymphomas. Enitociclib is a well-tolerated and clinically active CDK9 inhibitor leading to complete metabolic remissions in 2 of 7 patients with DH-DLBCL treated with once weekly 30 mg intravenous administration. Herein, we investigate the pharmacodynamic effect of CDK9 inhibition in preclinical models and in blood samples from patients [DH-DLBCL (n = 10) and MYC+ NHL (n = 5)] treated with 30 mg i.v. once weekly enitociclib. Enitociclib shows significant regulation of RNA polymerase II Ser2 phosphorylation in a MYC-amplified SU-DHL-4 cell line and depletion of MYC and antiapoptosis protein MCL1 in SU-DHL-4 and MYC-overexpressing SU-DHL-10 cell lines in vitro. Tumor growth inhibition reaching 0.5% of control treated SU-DHL-10 xenografts is achieved in vivo and MYC and MCL1 depletion as well as evidence of apoptosis activation after enitociclib treatment is demonstrated. An unbiased analysis of the genes affected by CDK9 inhibition in both cell lines demonstrates that RNA polymerase II and transcription pathways are primarily affected and novel enitociclib targets such as PHF23 and TP53RK are discovered. These findings are recapitulated in blood samples from enitociclib-treated patients; while MYC downregulation is most robust with enitociclib treatment, other CDK9-regulated targets may be MYC independent delivering a transcriptional downregulation via RNA polymerase II.

Significance::

MYC+ lymphomas are refractory to standard of care and novel treatments that downregulate MYC are needed. The utility of enitociclib, a selective CDK9 inhibitor in this patient population, is demonstrated in preclinical models and patients. Enitociclib inhibits RNA polymerase II function conferring a transcriptional shift and depletion of MYC and MCL1. Enitociclib intermittent dosing downregulates transcription factors including MYC, providing a therapeutic window for durable responses in patients with MYC+ lymphoma.

Vincerx Pharma to Implement Cost-Controls to Support Advancing Phase 1 Study of VIP943

Also Exploring Strategic Alternatives to Complement Fundraising EffortsPALO ALTO, Calif., Dec. 04, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Vincerx Pharma, Inc. (Nasdaq: VINC), a biopharmaceutical company aspiring to address the unmet medical needs of patients with cancer through paradigm-shifting therapeutics, today announced plans to implement cost-controls and explore strategic alternatives to support advancing the Phase 1 study of VIP943, the Company’s novel CD123-targeted antibody-drug conjugate (ADC) developed with the Company’s next-generation VersAptx™ platform. “We believe VIP943 is a highly differentiated and valuable asset, and we remain fully committed to advancing this program,” said Ahmed Hamdy, M.D., Chief Executive Officer. “As we shared in October, the Phase 1 dose-escalation study of VIP943 has demonstrated encouraging safety, efficacy, and tolerability. Of nine evaluable patients, one patient whose acute myeloid leukemia (AML) relapsed post-transplant achieved a CRi and one patient with higher-risk myelodysplastic syndrome (HR-MDS) achieved a CRL. Notably, since October, the patient with CRi has continued to improve, with their most recent bone marrow results showing only 1% cancer cells. This patient has now been on the study for seven months and counting. Monotherapy responses in post-transplant patients are rare, so we believe this type of response highlights the potential of VIP943 in this challenging population and supports the next-generation technology of our VersAptx platform.” Dr. Hamdy continued, “Our immediate focus is to give the program time to generate more data, with results from additional cohorts expected by early Q1 2025. To support this, we are implementing significant cost-cutting measures to focus resources on VIP943’s advancement. Additionally, we will begin exploring strategic alternatives to complement our ongoing fundraising efforts, with the goal of maximizing the value of the VIP943 program and our VersAptx platform.” As part of its review of potential strategic alternatives, Vincerx will consider options such as out-licensing, merger and acquisition opportunities, including reverse mergers, sales of assets and technologies, and other transactions. To streamline operations and focus resources, Vincerx will implement a significant reduction in force of approximately 55%. There can be no assurance that the exploration of strategic alternatives will result in any agreements or transactions, or as to the timing of any such agreements or transactions. The Company is in the process of engaging a financial advisor to assist in the strategic review process. Vincerx has not set a timetable for completion of the evaluation process and does not intend to disclose further developments or guidance on the status of its exploration of strategic alternatives unless and until it is determined that further disclosure is appropriate or necessary. As of October 31, 2024, the Company had approximately $8.4 million in cash, cash equivalents, and marketable securities. About VIP943VIP943, the first ADC from the VersAptx platform, consists of an anti-CD123 antibody, a unique linker cleaved intracellularly by legumain, and a novel kinesin spindle protein inhibitor (KSPi) payload enhanced with Vincerx’s CellTrapper™ technology.

Follicular Lymphoma Clinical Trial Pipeline Appears Robust With 50+ Key Pharma Companies Actively Working in the Therapeutics Segment | DelveInsight

Advances in immunotherapy have ushered in a new era of treatment for follicular lymphoma (FL), particularly for patients who have experienced relapse after conventional chemotherapy regimens. This paradigm shift is characterized by the emergence of innovative therapies like CAR T-cell therapy and bispecific antibodies, which have demonstrated remarkable efficacy in targeting and eradicating lymphoma cells. CAR T-cell therapy represents a groundbreaking approach where a patient's own T-cells are genetically engineered to recognize and attack cancer cells. This personalized treatment has shown significant promise, especially for individuals who have undergone extensive previous therapies. One notable example is Axicabtagene ciloleucel (Yescarta), a CAR T-cell therapy approved for use in patients with relapsed or refractory follicular lymphoma. Clinical trials have highlighted its ability to induce durable remissions, with some patients experiencing long-term remission even after multiple prior therapies.

Follicular Lymphoma Overview Follicular lymphoma is a common type of non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL) that originates from B-cells, a kind of white blood cell responsible for producing antibodies. This cancer is characterized by the growth of abnormal lymphoid follicles, which can disrupt normal lymphatic function. While the exact causes of follicular lymphoma are not fully understood, certain factors may increase the risk, including age (most commonly affecting adults over 60), a family history of lymphoma, and potential environmental factors such as exposure to pesticides or chemicals. Symptoms of follicular lymphoma can vary widely but may include painless swelling of lymph nodes in the neck, armpit, or groin, unexplained weight loss, night sweats, fatigue, and fever. Some patients may remain asymptomatic for extended periods, as this type of lymphoma can progress slowly. Diagnosis typically involves a combination of physical examinations, blood tests, imaging studies (like CT scans), and a biopsy of affected lymph nodes. The biopsy helps determine the subtype and stage of the lymphoma, which is crucial for planning treatment. Treatment for follicular lymphoma depends on the stage of the disease and the patient's overall health. Options may include watchful waiting for asymptomatic cases, chemotherapy, immunotherapy (such as monoclonal antibodies), and targeted therapies. In some cases, stem cell transplants may be considered for patients with more aggressive forms or those who do not respond to initial treatments. Given the indolent nature of follicular lymphoma, ongoing management, and regular monitoring are vital for achieving the best possible outcomes.

(Nasdaq: VINC), a biopharmaceutical company aspiring to address the unmet medical needs of patients with cancer through paradigm-shifting therapeutics, today reported financial results for the third quarter of 2024 and provided an overview of its clinical programs and anticipated milestones. “As we direct our efforts and resources toward our ADC technologies and programs, we are committed to advancing VIP943 based on the encouraging safety, efficacy, and tolerability results observed to date. We look forward to presenting additional data from patients at efficacious dose cohorts by early next year,” said Ahmed Hamdy, M.D., Chief Executive Officer. “Securing the funding necessary to advance our programs remains a priority. Alongside exploring financing options, we remain focused on strategic partnerships, particularly as pharmaceutical companies intensify their search for truly differentiated and transformative technologies.” THIRD QUARTER 2024 CLINICAL PROGRAM HIGHLIGHTS AND ANTICIPATED MILESTONES VIP943 VIP943 is a novel CD123-targeted ADC developed with the Company’s next-generation VersAptx platform.VIP943 has shown promising safety, efficacy, and tolerability in an ongoing Phase 1 dose-escalation study for patients with relapsed/refractory acute myeloid leukemia (AML), myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS), and B-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia (B-ALL) (NCT06034275). In October, the Company reported two complete responses in this Phase 1 study: one out of four patients with relapsed AML in the 1 mg/kg dose cohort achieved complete remission with incomplete hematologic recovery (CRi), and one out of one patient with higher-risk MDS in the 1.3 mg/kg dose cohort achieved complete remission with limited count recovery (CRL).VIP943 has shown effective target engagement and elimination of CD123+ malignant cells, with pharmacodynamic data demonstrating decreases in CD123+ blasts after dosing. Preliminary pharmacokinetic data indicates minimal payload release (≤1% in plasma), signifying a stable linker.Given the favorable safety and tolerability observed for VIP943, the Company continues dose escalation to assess potential for additional efficacy. Enrollment in the once-weekly and twice-weekly (as an induction therapy) dosing schedules is ongoing.Vincerx expects to share additional Phase 1 study data for VIP943 by early 2025. Enitociclib Enitociclib is a highly selective CDK9 inhibitor designed to block the activation of RNA polymerase II, leading to inhibition of oncogenes, including MYC and MCL1.Enitociclib is currently in a Phase 1 dose-escalation study (NTC05371054) evaluating the combination of enitociclib, venetoclax, and prednisone in diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) and peripheral T-cell lymphoma (PTCL). This study is being conducted in collaboration with the National Institutes of Health (NIH). As of September 2024, the study reported four partial responses (PRs) in seven patients (57% overall response rate), including one patient with double hit lymphoma (DH-DLBCL) and three patients with PTCL.Enitociclib has successfully completed its Phase 1 dose-escalation study as a monotherapy (NCT02635672), enrolling 63 patients across dose-escalation and expansion cohorts. The treatment demonstrated a favorable safety profile, dose-proportional pharmacokinetics, and on-target pharmacodynamic activity. Clinical benefits included durable complete metabolic remissions in two patients with DH-DLBCL, lasting 3.7 and 2.3 years, with both remissions continuing more than two years after treatment cessation. In addition, a transformed follicular (tFL) patient achieved a PR with a 63% tumor reduction after nearly two years, a meaningful outcome given the historically poor prognosis of tFL. Furthermore, 13 patients with solid tumors achieved stable disease as their best response, including five ovarian cancer patients—indicating a promising path for future combination studies in this indication.The Company is actively focused on finding a strategic partner to continue the development of this asset. VIP236 VIP236 is a αVβ3 SMDC conjugated to an optimized camptothecin (CPT) payload developed with the Company’s VersAptx platform.VIP236 has completed its Phase 1 dose-escalation study (NCT05712889), identifying the maximum tolerated dose that could be utilized in future studies. As reported in October, a total of 29 patients were enrolled in the Phase 1 study, resulting in a 45% disease control rate. The drug demonstrated a favorable safety profile, distinguishing itself from other CPTs by showing no instances of common dose-limiting side effects such as life-threatening diarrhea, severe stomatitis/mucositis, or interstitial lung disease.The Company intends to identify a partner to champion VIP236 through further development. THIRD QUARTER 2024 FINANCIAL RESULTS Vincerx had approximately $10.1 million in cash, cash equivalents, and marketable securities as of September 30, 2024, as compared to approximately $16.3 million as of June 30, 2024.
