Definitions
- MPN Myeloproliferative neoplasms
- PV polycythemia vera
- ET essential thrombocytosis
- MF myelofibrosis
- MPN may present clinically as a benign clonal myeloproliferation but the initiating abnormal stem/progenitor cell is susceptible to new mutations and epigenetic alterations that allow for the rapid evolution to bone marrow failure with myelofibrosis or transformation to acute myelogenous leukemia (AML).
- AML acute myelogenous leukemia
- Many MPN patients are asymptomatic at the time of diagnosis. Confounding a definitive diagnosis and prognosis, ET, PV and PMF can masquerade as one another. Common presenting manifestations include fatigue, weight loss, night sweats, fever, dyspnea, and abdominal discomfort due to sometimes massive splenomegaly.
- the three MPN disorders overlap phenotypically and even share similarities with other myeloid neoplasms.
- JAK2 JAK2
- CACR calreticulin
- MPL thrombopoietin receptor
- PV is the most common MPN and would appear to be the phenotypic manifestation mutations in JAK2. PV is the only MPN characterized by erythrocytosis defined as a hematocrit ⁇ 60% and hemoglobin ⁇ 20 gm/dL. ET is characterized by a sustained platelet count of >450,000/ ⁇ L and occurs predominantly in women.
- MF primary or secondary myelofibrosis but sometimes called myelofibrosis with myeloid metaplasia, agnogenic myeloid metaplasia, or primary myelosclerosis
- myelofibrosis with myeloid metaplasia is a chronic inflammatory process in which excess collagen is deposited in bone marrow impairing hematopoiesis in association with marrow fibrosis and extramedullary hematopoiesis.
- the major complications arise from cytopenias secondary to bone marrow failure, extramedullary hematopoiesis, principally in the spleen and liver, and evolution to acute myeloid leukemia.
- splenomegaly is the most distressing complication of primary myelofibrosis, leading to mechanical discomfort, inanition, splenic infarction, portal and pulmonary hypertension and blood cell sequestration. Both ET and PV are complicated by thrombosis. ET and PV can progress to MF as well as to AML.
- MDS myelodysplastic syndrome
- de novo AML include mutations in DNMT3A, IDH1/2, TET2, ASXLI, EZH2, TP53, NF1, NRAS, KRAS, SF3B1, U2AF1, SRSF2 and RUNX1.
- the nonselective JAK1/2 inhibitor ruxolitinib is approved for intermediate 1 and 2 and high risk MF patients and high-risk PV patients.
- Ruxolitinib is effective in alleviating constitutional symptoms and reducing spleen size or volume by 35% in approximately 50% of patients.
- Ruxolitinib prolonged survival and lowered the JAK V617F allele burden in high-risk patients with primary MF (PMF).
- PMF primary MF
- Anemia is exacerbated by ruxolitinib in some patients but thrombocytopenia, even if severe, may be improved.
- Ruxolitinib is effective only while the drug is administered; symptoms will recur when the drug is stopped.
- Fibrosis in the marrow is not affected and ruxolitinib has no impact on the mutation burden.
- Thalidomide at doses of 50 to 100 mg/day in combination with prednisone is effective in improving anemia and thrombocytopenia in approximately 60% of primary myelofibrosis patients and reducing spleen size in approximately 20%.
- Interferon- ⁇ at low-doses to reduce splenomegaly can be effective in the early course of the illness but can cause cytopenias.
- Pegylated interferon can produce molecular remissions in PV and reverse myelofibrosis in PMF in a minority of patients. Hydroxycarbamide has a low incidence of acute toxicity but causes marrow suppression and is leukemogenic.
- Low-dose alkylating agents can reduce organomegaly, reverse marrow fibrosis, and improve blood counts but only occasionally has durable effects; alkylating agents can cause severe bone marrow suppression and are leukemogenic.
- the only potentially curative treatment is allogeneic bone marrow transplantation indicated for patients younger than 65 years of age with intermediate-2 or high DIPSS score who have a matched donor. Five-year survival from stem cell transplant averages is approximately 50%.
- Epigenetic modifications of DNA such as methylation of cytosine or post- translational modifications of histones such as methylation and acetylation influence gene expression by altering chromatin structure. Changes in gene expression patterns have the potential to alter the phenotype of a given cell.
- Mutations in DNMT3A and TET2 are associated with changes in the normal methylation patterns of cytosine in DNA while mutations in JAK2, EZH2 and ASXLI alter the methylation, acetylation and phosphorylation state of histones: both of these classes of changes alter the patterns of normal gene expression programs. Mutations in genes coding for proteins influencing the epigenetic state of the cells suggest that targeting the enzymatic function of such proteins may selectively eliminate malignant stem/progenitor clones and/or restoring their normal phenotype.
- Lysine-specific demethylase 1 (LSD1, also known as KDM1A) is an enzyme that removes mono- and dimethyl groups from histone (H) H3 at critical lysines (K), K4 and K9 (Shi et al., 2004). Methylation of histone H3K4 and H3K9 is a post-translational modification associated with changes in rates of gene. By virtue of altering the local state of chromatin, LSD1 is an epigenetic regulator of gene expression.
- LSD1 is localized to three general regions of the genome: enhancers and super- enhancers, proximal promoters, and internal regions of transcription units through the agencies of proteins that bind DNA directly, generally TFs.
- LSD1 is part of a larger protein complex, containing, e.g., Co-RE 1 silencing transcription factor (CoREST) or nucleosome remodeling and histone deacetylase (NuRD), which dictate the cell-specific chromatin remodeling.
- CoREST Co-RE 1 silencing transcription factor
- NuRD histone deacetylase
- LSD1 may also include DNMT1 and histone deacetylases 1, 2 and 3 (HDAC1, 2, and 3) activities, all of which contribute to maintaining or modifying the epigenetic state at that genomic site.
- HDAC1, 2, and 3 histone deacetylases 1, 2 and 3
- an important property of LSD1 beyond its own enzymatic activity is its function as a scaffold for other epigenetic enzymes that are co recruited to genomic sites.
- LSD1 uniquely employs flavin adenine dinucleotide (FAD) to oxidatively remove one or two methyl groups in the process producing H202 and formaldehyde.
- FAD flavin adenine dinucleotide
- LSD1 is an essential gene; loss of LSD1 activity leads to early embryonic lethality. The protein is also needed for regulating the balance between self-renewal and proliferation.
- a conditional in vivo LSD1 knockdown (KD) using a doxycycline- inducible short hairpin LSD1 (shLSDl) established LSD1 as a central regulator of hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs) and myeloid progenitor cells.
- HSCs hematopoietic stem cells
- monocyte numbers were increased.
- MPPs multipotent progenitors
- CXCR4 chemokine receptor 4
- LSD1 plays a key role in regulating the progression from pluripotency to terminal differentiation. LSD1 is recruited to “high confidence” promoters and super-enhancers of genes essential for normal development by the “master” transcription factors octamer-binding transcription factor 4 (OCT4), SRY (sex determining region Y)-box 2 (SOX2), Nanog and the co-activator Mediator. Though not essential for maintenance of the embryonic stem cell (ESC) state, as part of the NuRD complex, LSD1 “decommissions” enhancers of genes directing the pluripotency program allowing ESC differentiation. LSD1 is essential for the complete shutdown of the ESC gene expression program as cells transition to more differentiated cell states.
- OCT4 octamer-binding transcription factor 4
- SOX2 SRY (sex determining region Y)-box 2
- Nanog the co-activator Mediator
- the role LSD1 plays in the ESC is phenomenologically similar to the essential role LSD1 plays during myeloid hematopoiesis, in which enhancers active in HSCs generating a stem-cell gene expression signature are also “decommissioned”, allowing commitment of progenitors to specific myeloid lineages. Enhancers essential for terminal differentiation in lineage-specific progenitor cells are poised for activation by H3K4me1 marks while promoters are characterized by progressive methylation of H3K4 culminating in H3K4me3. Enhancer H3K27 acetylation locks in transcriptional activation and lineage commitment.
- LSD1 expression decreases dramatically as myeloid differentiation proceeds to terminal cell states.
- the LSD1 enzyme sits at the apex of myeloid hematopoiesis.
- LSD1 prevents myeloid differentiation in stem and myeloid progenitor cells but is down-regulated as cells commit to specific myeloid lineages (erythroid, granulocytic, and megakaryocytic).
- the inhibition of LSD1 in acute myeloid leukemia cells causes a loss of stem cell potential (clonogenicity) and a concomitant induction of differentiation to a more mature monocytic immunophenotype.
- LSD1 is suitable as a target for a variety of myeloproliferative neoplasms.
- myeloproliferative neoplasms There are three major myeloproliferative neoplasms that may be treated with an LSD1 inhibitor: polycythemia vera, essential thrombocythemia, primary myelofibrosis (or myelofibrosis secondary to PV and ET); other MPNs are disclosed below and may also be treated by the methods disclosed herein.
- MPNs include All begin as clonal disorders as a consequence of somatic mutations occurring in hematopoietic stem/progenitor cells. The clinical overlap among these related diseases is mirrored by their shared genetic spectrum of somatic mutations including mutations in JAK2, DNMT3A, MPL, CALR, and ASXL1.
- somatic mutations including mutations in JAK2, DNMT3A, MPL, CALR, and ASXL1.
- LSD1 causes a significant improvement in five parameters of disease: reduction in platelets, reduction in splenomegaly, reduction in red cell count, resolution of marrow fibrosis and reduction in mutant cell burden.
- LSD1 lysine-specific histone demethylase
- KDM1A histone demethylase
- hematopoietic stem/progenitor cells participates in the balance in hematopoietic stem/progenitor cells between proliferation and differentiation in vivo by influencing state-specific gene expression patterns.
- LSD1 is essential for normal myeloid differentiation affecting the erythroid, megakaryocytic and granulocytic lineages but not the monocytic/dendritic lineage.
- Small molecule inhibitors of LSD 1 have shown promising results in preclinical models of acute myeloid leukemia (AML) and solid cancers and have recently entered clinical trials in AML.
- AML acute myeloid leukemia
- solid cancers have recently entered clinical trials in AML.
- the role and requirement for LSD1 in the pathogenesis of MPNs and the therapeutic targeting of LSD 1 in MPN is an area of current investigation.

- the methods disclosed above, or any subset or species of them may use any of the compounds disclosed above as LSD1 inhibitors, either a discrete chemical species or as described by one of the formulae or embodiments, or a pharmaceutical composition comprising them.
- EXAMPLES [0166] Presented below are biological assays and clinical trials demonstrating the utility of the compositions and methods disclosed herein.
- Example 1 Phase 1/2A and Phase 2B Clinical Trials in Myelofibrosis
- PMF primary myelofibrosis
- PV-MF post-polycythemia vera myelofibrosis
- PET-MF post-essential thrombocythemia myelofibrosis
- Phase 1/2A portion of the study assessed: the safety of the original starting dose, 0.25 mg/kg/d; an 85-day duration of treatment with a subsequent washout period of up to 28 days; and, pharmacokinetic and drug concentration measurements. Patients demonstrating clinical benefit could resume treatment for additional 12 week cycles.
- changes supported by the earlier pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic studies and safety assessments were implemented, including: an increased starting dose of 0.5 mg/kg/d with larger titration increments; a 168-day (24 week) duration of treatment, with continuous dosing via removal of the washout period; elimination of PK and drug concentration sampling; and, a reduced visit schedule.
- This study was conducted at multiple sites.
- PK pharmacokinetics
- SVR spleen volume reduction
- Exploratory endpoints included improvement in constitutional symptoms demonstrated by reduction in total symptoms scores (TSS) derived from the MPN-SAF in Phase 1/2A and using the MPN-SAF TSS instrument in Phase 2B, cytokines, and bone marrow (BM) fibrosis.
- TSS total symptoms scores
- One strategy to reduce the excess products of megakaryocytes is to target megakaryocyte maturation and function.
- the effectiveness of a treatment targeting the megakaryocyte may be quantified by measuring the products of megakaryocytes, e.g., platelets in circulation or inflammatory cytokines and growth factors in plasma or serum.
- Dosing of such a treatment can be made more precise by titrating the dose to lower the platelet count to a specific range.
- the titration target platelet count expected to be associated with most efficacious therapeutic effect was > 50,000 to ⁇ 100,000/ ⁇ L (50-100 x 10 9 /L).
- the Phase l/2a titration and re-challenge rules based on weekly evaluation of platelet counts are noted below in Table 1.
- the mean total daily dose of Compound 1 needed to achieve a platelet count in the target range was 78.3 mg (S.D.13.8, range 53-90 mg) or the equivalent of approximately 0.7 to 1.2 mg/kg/d. Accordingly, to enable patients to reach more quickly the optimal dose while still maintaining an adequate safety margin, a new Compound 1 starting dose of 0.5 mg/kg QD was selected for all patients entering the Phase 2B portion of the study. The titration and re-challenge rules were also modified in association with this new target (Table 2). Table 2 Titration and Re-challenge Rules for the Phase 2b Portion of the Study
- Figs.4-6 S100A9 (Fig.4), RANTES (Fig.5), and IL-8 (Fig.6) were generally decreased at week 12 in the course of treatment with Compound 1; meanwhile, levels of CCL3, IL-6, IL-10, IL-33, IL-28A, IFN ⁇ , IFN ⁇ , IFN ⁇ were not elevated in any patient. As shown in Figs.7 and 8, levels of growth factors VEGF and PDGF-BB were generally decreased at week 12. The relevance of these results in a therapeutic theory of LSD1 inhibition is shown in Fig.9. [0182] Improvements in hemoglobin (Hb) levels and percent fetal hemoglobin containing erythrocytes (F-cells) were also observed.

- nucleic markers DNA or RNA; nucleic markers include RNA and/or DNA mutations detected by sequencing or other nucleic assay methods
- Compound 1 was supplied as capsules in multiple strengths. These strengths, based on Compound 1 free base, i.e., the active substance, may include: 1 mg, 5 mg, 10 mg, 25 mg and 50 mg. Capsule strengths provided may change throughout the duration of the study.
- the therapeutic goal for the treatment of MF was to inhibit the activity of LSD1 in hematopoietic cells for only a portion of the 24-hour dosing cycle, sufficient to reduce the production of cytokines and growth factors that drive bone marrow fibrogenesis.
- Considerations for a safe and therapeutic starting dose included chronic toxicology studies, in conjunction with the clinical experience of the patients who have received Compound 1 to date in prior studies.
- a starting dose (Ds) of 0.25 mg/kg/d was selected for the Phase 1/2A portion of this study. All patients, however, required multiple up-titrations of Compound 1 from this starting dose to render platelets in the target platelet count range, suggesting the Ds should be higher.
- a dose- response curve was subsequently generated that provided a titration algorithm to adjust dose to achieve a target platelet count of between 50,000-75,000 platelets per microliter (k/uL), devised with a view to minimizing the probability of severe thrombocytopenia.
- the mean total daily dose of Compound 1 needed to achieve a platelet count in the target range was 78.3 mg (S.D. 13.8, range 53-90 mg) or the equivalent of approximately 0.7 to 1.2 mg/kg/d. Accordingly, to enable patients to more quickly reach the optimum dose while still maintaining an adequate safety margin, a new Compound 1 starting dose of 0.5 mg/kg QD was selected for all patients entering the Phase 2b portion of the study.
- This study design used the alternative model-based approach appropriate for a targeted, non-cytotoxic drug such as Compound 1 in which there is no observed monotonic relationship between exposure and toxicity (Le Tourneau, et al., 2009). Specifically, this study employed the dose-toxicity model developed in rat and dog relating the plasma concentration of drug 24 hours after last dose (Cmin) at steady state needed to inhibit platelet production. [0193] As there is no evidence in non-clinical studies of acute toxicity with Compound 1, even at extremely high doses (human equivalent dose (HED) ⁇ 20-40 mg/kg), it was believed that two sentinel patients would be sufficient to establish the acute safety of the starting dose.
- HED human equivalent dose
- the DSMC convened within 4 days post-completion of 7 days of treatment for each of the sentinel patients and determined it was safe for: 1.
- Each sentinel patient to continue dosing note: dosing was not interrupted pending this review), and 2. Additional patients to begin treatment with Compound 1.
- Study Conduct [0195] This study initiated as a Phase 1/2a study assessing the safety of the starting dose, an 85 day duration of treatment, and the pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic effects of Compound 1, with transition to a Phase 2b study incorporating changes supported by the earlier pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic studies and safety assessments. This study consisted of two treatment periods: the Initial Treatment Period (ITP), followed by the Additional Treatment Period (ATP).
- ITP Initial Treatment Period
- ATP Additional Treatment Period
- ITP Initial Treatment Period.
- ITP Days 0, 3 and 7 patients initially returned for study assessments twice weekly for the first week (ITP Days 0, 3 and 7); post-dosing of 3 patients at the new Ds, the DSMC convened to assess the necessity of the Day 3 visit.
- the ‘qualification’ assessment occurred at the study visit immediately preceding the Day 84 visit.
- the assessments that were prescribed during the washout were still done despite the elimination of the washout. All patients underwent follow-up period visits, including an EoT visit within approximately 2 days of last dose, a pre-EOS visit approximately 14 days post last dose, and an EoS visit approximately 28 days post last dose. Patients that did not enter the ATP, or discontinue early, entered the follow-up period beginning with an EoT visit within approximately 2 days of the decision to end treatment.
- Patients were followed closely throughout the study for both Adverse Events (AEs) and signs of toxicity by frequent monitoring of clinical signs and symptoms and by peripheral blood and urine analyses.
- AEs Adverse Events
- Dose-adjustments could be made at each clinic visit (with the exception of Day 3), with dose-titration, either upward or downward, contingent on the comparison of hematology values from the prior visit, as dictated by the rules below.
- the Dpi was anticipated to be ⁇ 1.2 mg/kg QD; however, this was not the upper limit for titration purposes as the dose needed to achieve a therapeutic effect will vary among patients and may change over time.
- the platelet titration target expected to be associated with a clinically significant therapeutic effect was a platelet count of ⁇ 50,000 to ⁇ 75,000/ ⁇ L (50-75 x 10 9 /L).
