Abstract

The present disclosure relates to improved methods of treatment with nirogacestat.

First claim

What is claimed:

1. A method for therapeutic treatment of multiple myeloma in a patient in need thereof comprising concomitantly administering to the patient (i) nirogacestat or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof and (ii) one or more additional active ingredients for treating multiple myeloma, wherein the method comprises (A) orally administering to the patient 150 mg (free base equivalent dose) of nirogacestat or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof twice daily and (B) one or more of:
(a) upon the patient having Grade 3 or 4 diarrhea persisting for at least 3 days despite medical therapy, withholding the nirogacestat or pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof until the diarrhea is resolved to no higher than a Grade 1 diarrhea or baseline and then restarting oral administration of the nirogacestat or pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof at a dose of 100 mg (free base equivalent dose) twice daily;
(b) upon the patient having Grade 3 or 4 hypophosphatemia persisting for at least 3 days despite replacement therapy, withholding the nirogacestat or pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof until the hypophosphatemia is resolved to no higher than a Grade 1 hypophosphatemia or baseline and then restarting oral administration of the nirogacestat or pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof at a dose of 100 mg (free base equivalent dose) twice daily;
(c) upon the patient having Grade 3 or 4 hypokalemia despite replacement therapy, withholding the nirogacestat or pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof until the hypokalemia is resolved to no higher than a Grade 1 hypokalemia or baseline and then restarting oral administration of the nirogacestat or pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof at a dose of 100 mg (free base equivalent dose) twice daily;
(d) upon the patient having an alanine transaminase (ALT) or aspartate aminotransferase (AST) of 3 to 5 times upper limit of normal (ULN), withholding the nirogacestat or pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof until the ALT, AST, or both are resolved to less than 3 times ULN or baseline and then restarting oral administration of the nirogacestat or pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof at a dose of 100 mg (free base equivalent dose) twice daily; and
(e) upon the patient having an ALT or AST of greater than 5 times ULN, permanently discontinuing treatment with the nirogacestat or pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof, wherein the method comprises (d) upon the patient having an alanine transaminase (ALT) or aspartate aminotransferase (AST) of 3 to 5 times upper limit of normal (ULN), withholding the nirogacestat or pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof until the ALT, AST, or both are resolved to less than 3 times ULN or baseline and then restarting oral administration of the nirogacestat or pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof at a dose of 100 mg (free base equivalent dose) twice daily.

2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the patient is concomitantly administered a BCMA therapy.

3. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:
(f) for another severe adverse reaction, life-threatening adverse reaction, or persistent intolerable Grade 2 adverse event, withholding the nirogacestat or pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof until the adverse reaction is resolved to no higher than a Grade 1 adverse reaction or baseline and then, after considering the potential benefit and likelihood of recurrence of the adverse reaction, (A) restarting oral administration of the nirogacestat or pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof at a dose of 100 mg (free base equivalent dose) twice daily and (B) upon recurrence of the severe or life-threatening adverse reaction at the 100 mg (free base equivalent dose) twice daily dose, permanently discontinuing treatment with the nirogacestat or pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof.

4. A method for therapeutic treatment of multiple myeloma in a patient in need thereof comprising concomitantly administering to the patient (i) nirogacestat or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof and (ii) one or more additional active ingredients for treating multiple myeloma, wherein the method comprises (A) orally administering to the patient 100mg (free base equivalent dose) of nirogacestat or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof twice daily and (B) one or more of:
(a) upon the patient having Grade 3 or 4 diarrhea persisting for at least 3 days despite medical therapy, withholding the nirogacestat or pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof until the diarrhea is resolved to no higher than a Grade 1 diarrhea or baseline and then restarting oral administration of the nirogacestat or pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof at a dose of 50 mg (free base equivalent dose) twice daily;
(b) upon the patient having Grade 3 or 4 hypophosphatemia persisting for at least 3 days despite replacement therapy, withholding the nirogacestat or pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof until the hypophosphatemia is resolved to no higher than a Grade 1 hypophosphatemia or baseline and then restarting oral administration of the nirogacestat or pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof at a dose of 50 mg (free base equivalent dose) twice daily;
(c) upon the patient having Grade 3 or 4 hypokalemia despite replacement therapy, withholding the nirogacestat or pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof until the hypokalemia is resolved to no higher than a Grade 1 hypokalemia or baseline and then restarting oral administration of the nirogacestat or pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof at a dose of 50 mg (free base equivalent dose) twice daily;
(d) upon the patient having an alanine transaminase (ALT) or aspartate aminotransferase (AST) of 3 to 5 times upper limit of normal (ULN), withholding the nirogacestat or pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof until the ALT, AST, or both are resolved to less than 3 times ULN or baseline and then restarting oral administration of the nirogacestat or pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof at a dose of 50mg (free base equivalent dose) twice daily; and
(e) upon the patient having an ALT or AST of greater than 5 times ULN, permanently discontinuing treatment with the nirogacestat or pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof, wherein the method comprises (d) upon the patient having an alanine transaminase (ALT) or aspartate aminotransferase (AST) of 3 to 5 times upper limit of normal (ULN), withholding the nirogacestat or pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof until the ALT, AST, or both are resolved to less than 3 times ULN or baseline and then restarting oral administration of the nirogacestat or pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof at a dose of 100mg (free base equivalent dose) twice daily.

5. The method of claim 4 , wherein the patient is concomitantly administered a BCMA therapy.

6. The method of claim 4 , further comprising:
(f) for another severe adverse reaction, life-threatening adverse reaction, or persistent intolerable Grade 2 adverse event, withholding the nirogacestat or pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof until the adverse reaction is resolved to no higher than a Grade 1 adverse reaction or baseline and then, after considering the potential benefit and likelihood of recurrence of the adverse reaction, (A) restarting oral administration of the nirogacestat or pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof at a dose of 50 mg (free base equivalent dose) twice daily and (B) upon recurrence of the severe or life-threatening adverse reaction at the 50 ; mg (free base equivalent dose) twice daily dose, permanently discontinuing treatment with the nirogacestat or pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof.
