Abstract
Abstract OP-1250, a complete estrogen receptor antagonist (CERAN) and selective estrogen receptor degrader (SERD), is currently in Phase I/II clinical trials for the treatment of estrogen receptor positive (ER+)/human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 negative (HER2-) breast cancer. OP-1250 has previously demonstrated efficacy in both estrogen receptor 1 (ESR1) wild-type and Y537S mutant breast cancer xenograft models. Inhibitors of cyclin-dependent kinases 4 and 6 (CDK4/6) are a standard first-line treatment for ER+ advanced or metastatic breast cancer in combination with endocrine therapy. To characterize OP-1250 efficacy in this setting, we explored the combination of OP-1250 with CDK4/6 inhibitors palbociclib and ribociclib in ER+/HER2- breast cancer preclinical models, and profiled the transcriptional changes associated with single agent and combination therapy. OP-1250 and CDK4/6 inhibitors were tested alone and in combination in ESR1 wild-type MCF7 and ESR1 Y537S mutant ST941 xenograft models. Higher doses of OP-1250 and either CDK4/6 inhibitor, when given as a monotherapy, suppress tumor growth and increase animal survival, while lower doses of the compounds display a modest or minimal effect on tumor growth or survival. In combination, lower doses of OP-1250 and either CDK4/6 inhibitor result in significantly greater tumor growth suppression (both xenograft models), tumor regression (MCF7) and animal survival (ST491) than each compound individually. RNA sequencing revealed substantially more gene expression changes with combination treatment than monotherapy. In particular, pathways associated with cell cycle progression displayed greater changes with combination treatment, similar to what was observed with a much higher dose of monotherapy. This study supports the clinical evaluation of OP-1250 in combination with CDK4/6 inhibitors (palbociclib or ribociclib) and provides additional context to mechanisms of combination efficacy. OP-1250 is currently being evaluated in a Phase Ib clinical trial in combination with palbociclib and a study including evaluation of the combination of OP-1250 with ribociclib is planned to initiate in Q3 2022.
