Abstract

The present invention relates to methods of treating a cell proliferation disorder (e.g., cancer) comprising administering: (a) a compound having the Formula (I), wherein R 1 or R 2 are as herein defined, or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof; and (b) an anti-human PD-1 antibody or antigen binding fragment thereof to a human patient in need thereof. Also disclosed are therapeutic combinations and kits containing such agents for the treatment of cancers.

Claims (20)

1. A method of treating prostate cancer, comprising administering:

(a) a compound having the Formula I

wherein R 1 are R 2 are independently H or C 1 -C 5 alkyl or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof; and

(b) an anti-human PD-1 antibody or antigen binding fragment thereof to a human patient in need thereof.

2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the prostate cancer is metastatic castrate-resistant prostate cancer.

3. The method of claim 1 , wherein the compound of Formula I is

or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof.

4. The method of claim 3 , wherein the compound of Formula I is

or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof.

5. The method of claim 3 , wherein the compound of Formula I is

or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof.

6. The method of claim 1 , wherein the human patient is administered:

(a) 200 mg or 240 mg of the anti-human PD-1 antibody or antigen binding fragment thereof and from 5 to 200 mg of the compound of Formula I or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof; or

(b) 2 mg/kg of an anti-human PD-1 antibody or antigen binding fragment thereof and from 5 to 200 mg of the compound of Formula I or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof,

wherein the anti-human PD-1 antibody or antigen binding fragment thereof is administered once every three weeks and the compound of Formula I or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof is administered once daily or twice daily.

7. The method of claim 1 , wherein the anti-human PD-1 antibody or antigen binding fragment thereof comprises three light chain CDRs of SEQ ID NO:1, SEQ ID NO:2 and SEQ ID NO:3 and three heavy chain CDRs of SEQ ID NO:6, SEQ ID NO:7 and SEQ ID NO:8.

8. The method of claim 1 , wherein the anti-human PD-1 antibody or antigen binding fragment thereof comprises a V L region which comprises the amino acid sequence set forth in SEQ ID NO:4, and a V H region which comprises the amino acid sequence set forth in SEQ ID NO:9.

9. The method of claim 1 , wherein the anti-human PD-1 antibody or antigen binding fragment thereof comprises a light chain comprising or consisting of a sequence of amino acids as set forth in SEQ ID NO:5 and a heavy chain comprising or consisting of a sequence of amino acids as set forth in SEQ ID NO:10.

10. The method of claim 1 , wherein the anti-human PD-1 antibody or antigen binding fragment thereof is pembrolizumab.

11. The method of claim 1 , wherein the anti-human PD-1 antibody or antigen binding fragment thereof is nivolumab.
