Abstract

Provided are methods of treating cancer in a human subject. The method includes selecting a subject in need of treatment of cancer; administering to the subject a therapeutically effective amount of gedatolisib at least once a week for a period of three weeks; discontinuing administration of gedatolisib for a period of one week; and resuming administration of gedatolisib at least once a week following the period of discontinuation. The administration for at least a period of three weeks and discontinued administration for at least a period of one week constitutes a cycle, where the cycle is repeated for at least two cycles.

Claims (46)

1. A method of treating ER+/HER2− breast cancer in a human subject who is being or has been treated with a hormonal therapy, said method comprising:

administering to the human subject (i) gedatolisib, or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt, solvate, or ester thereof, at a dosage of 180 mg/week, once a week for a period of three weeks; and (ii) a therapeutic dosage of a CDK 4/6 inhibitor for a period of three weeks;

discontinuing administration of gedatolisib, or pharmaceutically acceptable salt, solvate, or ester thereof, and the CDK 4/6 inhibitor for a period of one week; and

resuming administration of (i) gedatolisib, or pharmaceutically acceptable salt, solvate, or ester thereof, at a dosage of 180 mg/week once a week and (ii) the CDK 4/6 inhibitor at a therapeutic dosage following the period of discontinuation,

wherein the administration for a period of three weeks and discontinued administration for a period of one week constitutes a cycle, wherein the cycle is repeated for at least two cycles; and

wherein the administration of the CDK 4/6 inhibitor occurs during concurrent weeks as the administration of gedatolisib, or pharmaceutically acceptable salt, solvate, or ester thereof.

2. The method of claim 1 , wherein resumed administration of (i) gedatolisib, or pharmaceutically acceptable salt, solvate, or ester thereof, occurs at a dosage of 180 mg/week once a week for a period of three weeks; and (ii) the CDK 4/6 inhibitor occurs at a therapeutic dosage for a period of three weeks.

3. The method of claim 1 , wherein the cycle of administration occurs for at least 3 cycles, at least 4 cycles, at least 5 cycles, at least 6 cycles, at least 7 cycles, at least 8 cycles, or at least 9 cycles.

4. The method of claim 1 , wherein the CDK 4/6 inhibitor is selected from the group consisting of palbociclib, ribociclib, abemaciclib, trilaciclib, dalpiciclib, riviciclib, and combinations thereof.

5. The method of claim 1 , wherein the CDK 4/6 inhibitor is palbociclib.

6. The method of claim 5 , wherein the palbociclib is administered at a dose of 125 mg per day.

7. The method of claim 1 , further comprising administering hormonal treatment to the human subject.

8. The method of claim 7 , wherein hormonal treatment comprises administering the estrogen receptor antagonist fulvestrant.

9. The method of claim 8 , wherein the fulvestrant is administered at a dose of 500 mg every two weeks.

10. The method of claim 8 , wherein the fulvestrant is administered at a dose of 500 mg every four weeks.

11. The method of claim 1 , wherein the human subject is a pre-menopausal or post-menopausal female patient.

12. The method of claim 1 , wherein the human subject has failed a prior treatment for cancer in a period of less than twelve months.

13. The method of claim 1 , wherein the human subject has failed a prior treatment for cancer in a period of less than six months.

14. The method of claim 1 , wherein the human subject has failed two or more prior treatments for cancer.

15. The method of claim 12 , wherein the failed prior treatment is an endocrine treatment for cancer.

16. The method of claim 7 , wherein hormonal treatment comprises administering an aromatase inhibitor.

17. The method of claim 16 , wherein the aromatase inhibitor is letrozole.

18. The method of claim 17 , wherein letrozole is administered at a dosage of 2.5 mg daily.

19. A method of treating ER+/HER2− breast cancer in a human subject who is being or has been treated with a hormonal therapy, said method comprising:

administering to the human subject: (i) gedatolisib, or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt, solvate, or ester thereof, at a dosage of 180 mg/week once a week for a period of three weeks; and (ii) a CDK 4/6 inhibitor at a therapeutic dosage for a period of three weeks, wherein the CDK 4/6 inhibitor is selected from the from the group consisting of palbociclib, ribociclib, abemaciclib, trilaciclib, dalpiciclib, riviciclib;

discontinuing administration of gedatolisib, or pharmaceutically acceptable salt, solvate, or ester thereof, and the CDK 4/6 inhibitor for a period of one week; and

resuming administration of (i) gedatolisib, or pharmaceutically acceptable salt, solvate, or ester thereof, at a dosage of 180 mg/week once a week and (ii) the CDK 4/6 inhibitor at a therapeutic dosage following the period of discontinuation,

wherein the administration for a period of three weeks and discontinued administration for a period of one week constitutes a cycle,

wherein the cycle is repeated for at least two cycles; and

wherein the administration of the CDK 4/6 inhibitor occurs during concurrent weeks as the administration of gedatolisib, or pharmaceutically acceptable salt, solvate, or ester thereof.

20. The method of claim 19 , wherein the CDK 4/6 inhibitor is palbociclib.

21. The method of claim 20 , wherein palbociclib is administered at a dose of 125 mg per day.

22. The method of claim 19 , wherein the hormonal therapy comprises treatment with letrozole or fulvestrant.

23. The method of claim 19 , wherein the cycle of administration occurs for at least 3 cycles, at least 4 cycles, at least 5 cycles, at least 6 cycles, at least 7 cycles, at least 8 cycles, or at least 9 cycles.

24. A method of treating ER+/HER2− breast cancer in a human subject, the method comprising:

administering to the human subject: (i) gedatolisib, or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt, solvate, or ester thereof, at a dosage of 180 mg/week once a week for a period of three weeks; (ii) a CDK 4/6 inhibitor at a therapeutic dosage for a period of three weeks, wherein the CDK 4/6 inhibitor is selected from the from the group consisting of palbociclib, ribociclib, abemaciclib, trilaciclib, dalpiciclib, riviciclib; and (iii) a hormonal therapy selected from fulvestrant and letrozole;

discontinuing administration of gedatolisib, or pharmaceutically acceptable salt, solvate, or ester thereof, and the CDK 4/6 inhibitor for a period of one week; and

resuming administration of (i) gedatolisib, or pharmaceutically acceptable salt, solvate, or ester thereof, at a dosage of 180 mg/week once a week and (ii) the CDK 4/6 inhibitor at a therapeutic dosage following the period of discontinuation,

wherein the administration for a period of three weeks and discontinued administration for a period of one week constitutes a cycle,

wherein the cycle is repeated for at least two cycles; and

wherein the administration of the CDK 4/6 inhibitor occurs during concurrent weeks as the administration of gedatolisib, or pharmaceutically acceptable salt, solvate, or ester thereof.

25. The method of claim 24 , wherein the CDK 4/6 inhibitor is palbociclib.

26. The method of claim 25 , wherein palbociclib is administered at a dose of 125 mg per day.

27. The method of claim 24 , wherein fulvestrant is administered at a dose of 500 mg every two weeks.
