Abstract

The present application provides bicyclic amines that are inhibitors of cyclin-dependent kinase 2 (CDK2), as well as pharmaceutical compositions thereof, and methods of treating cancer using the same.

or pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof, wherein the cancer is selected from breast cancer, ovarian cancer, lung cancer, fallopian tube cancer, endometrial cancer, gastrointestinal cancer, uterine cancer, urothelial cancer, anal cancer, bile duct cancer, cancer of the small bowel, cancer of the large bowel, colon cancer, colorectal cancer, rectal cancer, cancer of the small intestine, esophageal cancer, islet cell cancer, liver cancer, pancreatic cancer, and gastric cancer.

2 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the cancer is associated with an amplification of the cyclin E1 (CCNE1) gene and/or overexpression of CCNE1.

3 . The method of claim 2 , wherein the human subject has been previously determined to:
(i) (a) have a nucleotide sequence encoding a p16 protein comprising the amino acid sequence of SEQ ID NO:1; and/or (b) have a cyclin dependent kinase inhibitor 2A (CDKN2A) gene lacking one or more inactivating nucleic acid substitutions and/or deletions; (ii) (a) have an amplification of the cyclin E1 (CCNE1) gene; and/or (b) have an expression level of CCNE1 in a biological sample obtained from the human subject that is higher than a control expression level of CCNE1.

4 . The method of claim 2 , comprising:
(i) identifying, in a biological sample obtained from the human subject:
(a) a nucleotide sequence encoding a p16 protein comprising the amino acid sequence of SEQ ID NO:1; and/or
(b) a cyclin dependent kinase inhibitor 2A (CDKN2A) gene lacking one or more inactivating nucleic acid substitutions;
(ii) identifying, in a biological sample obtained from the human subject:
(a) an amplification of the cyclin E1 (CCNE1) gene; and/or
(b) an expression level of CCNE1 that is higher than a control expression level of CCNE1; and
(iii) administering the compound or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof, to the human subject.

5 . The method of claim 4 , comprising:
(i) identifying, in a biological sample obtained from the human subject:
(a) a nucleotide sequence encoding a p16 protein comprising the amino acid sequence of SEQ ID NO:1; and/or
(b) a CDKN2A gene lacking one or more inactivating nucleic acid substitutions and/or deletions;
(ii) identifying, in a biological sample obtained from the human subject:
(a) an amplification of the CCNE1 gene; and
(iii) administering the compound or the salt to the human subject.

6 . The method of claim 2 , the method further comprising:
(a) administering the compound or the salt, to the human subject, wherein the human subject has been previously determined to have an amplification of the cyclin E1 (CCNE1) gene and/or an expression level of CCNE1 that is higher than a control expression level of CCNE1; (b) measuring, in a biological sample of obtained from the subject subsequent to the administering of step (a), the level of retinoblastoma (Rb) protein phosphorylation at the serine corresponding to amino acid position 780 of SEQ ID NO:3, wherein a reduced level of Rb phosphorylation at the serine corresponding to amino acid position 780 of SEQ ID NO:3, as compared to a control level of Rb phosphorylation at the serine corresponding to amino acid position 780 of SEQ ID NO:3, is indicative that the human subject responds to the compound or the salt.

7 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the compound is 8-ethoxy-N-((3R,4S)-3-methyl-1-(methylsulfonyl) piperidin-4-yl)-7-(1H-pyrazol-4-yl)-[1,2,4]triazolo[1,5-a]pyridin-2-amine, or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof.
