Definitions

  • the present invention relates to pharmaceutical combinations, e.g. products, comprising a combination of (i) a MET inhibitor and (ii) an EGFR (ErbB-1) inhibitor, or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof, respectively, or a prodrug thereof, which are jointly active in the treatment of proliferative diseases, corresponding pharmaceutical formulations, uses, methods, processes, commercial packages and related invention embodiments.
  • Multigenic diseases such as cancer or other proliferative diseases.
  • multi-target drugs In order to combat such diseases, one approach is to use single multi-target drugs however, here it is required that the targets causally involved into manifestation of a disease are all hit by the drug considered. On the other hand, multi-target drugs may lead to undesired side effects as they may also have impact on targets not involved in the disease manifestation.
  • a different approach is to use a combination of drugs as multi-target drugs. In the best scenario, this may lead to a combined efficiency, e.g. synergy, thus even allowing a reduction of side effects caused by the single drugs when used alone.
  • the components (combination partners) of such drugs may impact separate targets to create a combination effect, and thus may create a combination effect going beyond what is achievable with the single compounds and/or when considering their isolated effects, respectively, either in the same pathway or separate pathways, within an individual cell or in separate cells in separate tissues.
  • one component may alter the ability of another to reach its target, e.g. by inhibiting of efflux pumps or the like.
  • the combination partners may bind to separate sites of the same target.
  • the proto-oncogen cMET encodes the protein Hepatocyte Growth Factor Receptor (HGFR) which has tyrosine kinase activity and is essential for embryonic development and wound healing.
  • HGFR Hepatocyte Growth Factor Receptor
  • HGF Hepatocyte Growth Factor
  • MET Upon Hepatocyte Growth Factor (HGF) stimulation, MET induces several biological responses, leading to invasive growth.
  • Abnormal MET activation triggers tumor growth, formation of new blood vessels (angiogenesis) and metastasis, in various types of malignancies, including cancers of the kidney, liver, stomach, breast and brain.
  • c-MET dysregulated c-Met pathway plays important and sometimes causative (in the case of genetic alterations) roles in tumor formation, growth, maintenance and progression (Birchmeier, C. et al., Nat. Rev. Mol. Cell. Biol. 2003, 4(12):915-925; Boccaccio, C. et al., Nat. Rev. Cancer 2006, 6(8):637-645; Christensen, J. G. et al., Cancer Lett. 2005, 225(1):1-26). HGF and/or c-Met are overexpressed in significant portions of most human cancers, and are often associated with poor clinical outcomes such as more aggressive disease, disease progression, tumor metastasis and shortened patient survival.
  • c-Met receptor can also be activated in cancer patients through genetic mutations (both germline and somatic) and gene amplification. Although gene amplification and mutations are the most common genetic alterations that have been reported in patients, the receptor can also be activated by deletions, truncations, gene rearrangement.
  • carcinomas e.g., bladder, breast, cervical, cholangiocarcinoma, colorectal, esophageal, gastric, head and neck, kidney, liver, lung, nasopharygeal, ovarian, pancreas, prostate, thyroid
  • musculoskeletal sarcomas e.g., osteosarcaoma, synovial sarcoma, rhabdomyosarcoma
  • soft tissue sarcomas e.g., MFH/fibrosarcoma, leiomyosarcoma, Kaposi's sarcoma
  • hematopoietic malignancies e.g., multiple myeloma, lymphomas, adult T cell leukemia, acute myelogenous leukemia, chronic myeloid leukemia
  • other neoplasms e.g., glioblastomas, a
  • MET c-met and activated c-met mutations
  • agents include anti-HGF and antic-Met antibodies, HGF peptide antagonists, decoy c-Met receptor, c-Met peptide antagonists, dominant negative c-Met mutations, c-Met specific antisense oligonucleotides and ribozymes, and selective small molecule c-Met kinase inhibitors (Christensen, J. G. et al., Cancer Lett. 2005, 225(1):1-26).
  • abnormal HGF/MET signaling is also implicated in atherosclerosis, lung fibrosis, renal fibrosis and regeneration, liver diseases, allergic disorders, inflammatory and autoimmune disorders, cerebrovascular diseases, cardiovascular diseases, conditions associated with organ transplantation (Ma, H. et al., Atherosclerosis. 2002, 164(1):79-87; Crestani, B. et al., Lab. Invest. 2002, 82(8):1015-1022; Sequra-Flores, A. A. et al., Rev. Gastroenterol. Mex. 2004, 69(4)243-250; Morishita, R. et al., Curr. Gene Ther. 2004, 4(2)199-206; Morishita, R.
  • the Epidermal Growth Factor Receptor (EGFR, aka ErbB-1; HER1 in humans), is a receptor for ligands of the epidermal growth factor family.
  • EGFR Epidermal Growth Factor Receptor
  • HER1 ErbB-1
  • Several types of cancers are known to be dependent on EGFR over-activity or over-expression, such as lung cancer, anal cancers, glioblastoma multiforme and many other mainly epithelial cancers.
  • RTKs receptor tyrosine kinases
  • MET activation can compensate for loss of EGFR activity (by inhibition) by downstream activation of signal molecules such as HER3, such as MET amplification may compensate, or its ligand hepatocyte growth factor may activate MET (see Engelman, J. A., et al., Science, 316: 1039-1043, 2007; Yano, S., et al., Cancer Res, 68: 9479-9487, 2008; and Turke, A. B., et al., Cancer Cell, 17: 77-88, 2010).
