BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

[0002] Bromodomain-containing proteins are of substantial biological interest, as components of transcription factor complexes and determinants of epigenetic memor '. For example, the bromo and extra terminal (BET) protein family (e.g., bromodomain-containing protein 2 (BRD2), bromodomain-containing protein 3 (BRD3), bromodomain-containing protein 4 (BRD4), and bromodomain testis-specific protein (BRDT)) shares a common domain architecture featuring two ammo-terminal bromodomains that exhibit high levels of sequence conservation, and a more divergent carboxy -terminal recruitment domain

(Filippakopoulos et al., Nature 2010, 468, 1067-1073). BRD2 and BRD3 are reported to associate with his tones along actively transcribed genes and may be involved in facilitating transcriptional elongation (Leroy et αΙ., ΜοΙ. Cell. 2008, 30, 51-60). It has also been reported that BRD4 or BRD3 may fuse with nuclear protein in testis (NUT), forming novel fusion oncogenes BRD4-NUT or BRD3-NUT, in a highly malignant form of epithelial neoplasia (French et al , Cancer Res., 2003, 63, 304-307; French et al, J. Clin. Oncol. 2004, 22, 4135- 4139). Data suggests that BRD-NUT fusion proteins contribute to carcinogenesis (French et al.. Oncogene 2008, 27, 2237-2242). BRDT is uniquely expressed in the testes and ovary. All family members of BET have been reported to have some function in controlling or executing aspects of the cell cycle and have been shown to remain in complex with chromosomes during ceil division, suggesting a role in the maintenance of epigenetic memory. In addition, some viruses make use of BET proteins to tether their genomes to the host cell chromatin, as part of the process of viral repl ication (You et al, Cell 2004, 117, 349-360). BRD4 appears to be involved in the recruitment of the pTEF-b complex to inducible genes, resulting in phosphorylation of RNA polymerase and increased transcriptional output (Hargreaves et al. Cell 2009, 138, 129- 145). In humans, BRD2, BRD3, BRD4, and BRDT exhibit similar gene arrangements, domain organizations, and some functional properties (Wu et al, J. Biol Chem. 2007, 282, 13141-13145). Modulation of bromo-domain containing proteins (e.g. , BET proteins) may be useful in treating a vari ety of conditions, for example, in treating cancer by altering epigenetic expression of certain genes in cancer cells.

[0096] A "counterion" or "anionic counterion" is a negatively charged group associated with a positively charged group in order to maintain electronic neutrality. An anionic counterion may be monovalent (i.e., including one formal negative charge). An anionic counterion may also be multivalent (i.e. , including more than one formal negative charge). such as divalent or trivalent. Exemplary counterforts include halide ions (e.g. , F ^" , CI ^" , Br ^" , Γ), N0 ₃ ^" , Ο0 ₄ ^~ , OH ^" , H ₂ P0 ₄ ^" , HCO3 ^~ HS0 ₄ ^" , sulfonate ions (e.g., methansulfonate,

[0097] As used herein, a "leaving group" (LG) is an art-understood term referring to a molecular fragment that departs with a pair of electrons in heteroivtic bond cleavage, wherein the molecular fragment is an anion or neutral molecule. As used herein, a leaving group can be an atom or a group capable of being displaced by a nucleophiie. See, for example, Smith, March Advanced Organic Chemistry 6th ed. (501-502). Exemplary leaving groups include, but are not limited to, halo (e.g. , chloro, bromo, iodo) and activated substituted hydroxyl groups (e.g. , -QC(=Q)SR ^aa , -QC(=0)R ^aa , -QCQ ₂ R ^aa , -OC(=0)N(R ^b ) ₂ , -OC(=NR )R ^aa , - OC(==NR )OR ^aa , -OC(=NR ^bb )N(R ^bb ) ₂ , -OS(=0)R ^aa , -OS0 ₂ R ^aa , -OP(R ^cc ) ₂ , -OP(R ^cc ) ₃ , - (W{ ()}-R ^{:! i} . -OP(==0)(R ^aa ) ₂ , -OP(==0)(OR ^cc ) ₂ , -OP(==0) ₂ N(R ^bb ) ₂ , and -OP(==0)(NR ) ₂ , wherein R ^aa , R ^bb , and R ^cc are as defined herein).

[0098] As used herein, use of the phrase ^" 'at least one instance" refers to 1, 2, 3, 4, or more instances, but also encompasses a range, e.g., for example, from i to 4, from 1 to 3, from 1 to 2, from 2 to 4, from 2 to 3, or from 3 to 4 instances, inclusive.

[0099] A "non-hydrogen group' ^" refers to any group that is defined for a particular variable that is not hydrogen.

[ΘΘ100] These and other exemplary substituents are described in more detail in the Detailed Description, F^xamples, and Claims. The invention is not intended to be limited in any manner by the above exemplary listing of substituents.

Other defintions

[ΘΘ101] As used herein, the term "salt" refers to any and ail salts, and encompasses pharmaceutically acceptable salts. [00102] The term " ^• pharmaceutically acceptable salt" refers to those salts which are, within the scope of sound medical judgment, suitable for use in contact with the tissues of humans and lower animals without undue toxicity, irritation, allergic response, and the like, and are commensurate with a reasonable benefit/risk ratio. Pharmaceutically acceptable salts are well known in the art. For example, Berge et al. describe pharmaceutically acceptable salts in detail in J. Pharmaceutical Sciences, 1977, 66, 1-19, incorporated herein by reference.

Pharmaceutically acceptable salts of the compounds of this invention include those derived from suitable inorganic and organic acids and bases. Examples of pharmaceutically acceptable, nontoxic acid addition salts are salts of an amino group formed with inorganic acids, such as hydrochloric acid, hydrobromic acid, phosphoric acid, sulfuric acid, and perchloric acid or with organic acids, such as acetic acid, oxalic acid, maleic acid, tartaric acid, citric acid, succinic acid, or malonic acid or by using other methods known in the art such as ion exchange. Other pharmaceutically acceptable salts include adipate, alginate, ascorbate, aspartate, benzenesulfonate, benzoate, bisulfate, borate, butyrate, camphorate, camphorsulfonate, citrate, cyclopentanepropionate, digluconate, dodecylsulfate,

ethanesulfonate, formate, fumarate, glucoheptonate, glycerophosphate, gluconate, hemisulfate, heptanoate, hexanoate, hydroiodide, 2-hydroxy-ethanesuifonate, lactobionate, lactate, laurate, lauryl sulfate, malate, maleate, maionate, methanesuifonate, 2- naphthalenesulfonate, nicotinate, nitrate, oleate, oxalate, palmitate, pamoate, pectinate, persulfate, 3-phenylpropionate, phosphate, pi crate, pivalate, propionate, stearate, succinate, sulfate, tartrate, thiocyanate, p-toluenesulfonate, undecanoate, valerate salts, and the like. Salts derived from appropriate bases include alkali metal, alkaline earth metal, ammonium, and N ⁺ (C _1-4 alkyl) ₄ salts. Representative alkali or alkaline earth metal salts include sodium, lithium, potassium, calcium, magnesium, and the like. Further pharmaceutically acceptable salts include, when appropriate, nontoxic ammonium, quaternary ammonium, and amine cations formed using counterions such as halide, hydroxide, carboxylate, sulfate, phosphate, nitrate, lower alkyl sulfonate, and aryl sulfonate.

[00103] The term '"solvate" refers to forms of the compound, or a salt thereof, that are associated with a solvent, usually by a solvolysis reaction. This physical association may include hydrogen bonding. Conventional solvents include water, methanol, ethanol, acetic acid, DMSO, THF, diethyl ether, and the like. The compounds described herein may be prepared, e.g., in crystalline form, and may be soivated. Suitable solvates include pharmaceutically acceptable solvates and further include both stoichiometric solvates and non-stoichiometric solvates. In certain instances, the solvate will be capable of isolation, for example, when one or more solvent molecules are incorporated in the crystal lattice of a crystalline solid. "Solvate" encompasses both solution-phase and isolatable solvates.

Representative solvates include hydrates, ethanolates, and methanolates.

[00104] The term "hydrate" refers to a compound that is associated with water. Typically, the number of the water molecules contained in a hydrate of a compound is in a definite ratio to the number of the compound molecules in the hydrate. Therefore, a hydrate of a compound may be represented, for example, by the general formula R-x H ₂ 0, wherein R is the compound, and x is a number greater than 0. A given compound may form more than one type of hydrate, including, e.g., monohydrates (x is 1), lower hydrates (x is a number greater than 0 and smaller than 1 , e.g., hemihydrates (R-0.5 H?0)), and poly hydrates (x is a number greater than 1 , e.g., dihydrates (R-2 H ₂ 0) and hexahydrates (R-6 H ₂ 0)).

[00105] The term "tautomers" or "tautomeric" refers to two or more intercon ertible compounds resulting from at least one formal migration of a hydrogen atom and at least one change in valency (e.g., a single bond to a double bond, a triple bond to a single bond, or vice versa). The exact ratio of the tautomers depends on several factors, including temperature, solvent, and pH. Tautomerizations (i.e., the reaction providing a tautomeric pair) may catalyzed by acid or base. Exemplary tautomerizations include keto-to-enoi, amide-io~imide, lactam-to-lactim, enamiiie-to-imine, and enamine-to-(a different enamine) tautomerizations.

[00106] It is also to be understood that compounds that have the same molecular formula but differ in the nature or sequence of bonding of their atoms or the arrangement of their atoms in space are termed "isomers". Isomers that differ in the arrangement of their atoms in space are termed "stereoisomers".

[00107] Stereoisomers that are not mirror images of one another are termed

"diastereomers" and those that are non-superimposable mirror images of each other are termed "enantiomers". When a compound has an asymmetric center, for example, it is bonded to four different groups, a pair of enantiomers is possible. An enantiomer can be characterized by the absolute configuration of its asymmetric center and is described by the R- and S-sequencing rules of Cahn and Prelog, or by the manner in which the molecule rotates the plane of polarized light and designated as dextrorotatory or levorotatory (i.e., as (+) or (-)-isomers respectively). A chiral compound can exist as either individual enantiomer or as a mixture thereof. A mixture containing equal proportions of the enantiomers is called a "racemic mixture". [00108] The term " ^' pol morph" refers to a crystalline form of a compound (or a salt, hydrate, or solvate thereof). All polymorphs have the same elemental composition. Different crystalline forms usually have different X-ray diffraction patterns, infrared spectra, melting points, density, hardness, crystal shape, optical and electrical properties, stability, and solubility. Recrystallization solvent, rate of crystallization, storage temperature, and other factors may cause one crystal form to dominate. Various polymorphs of a compound can be prepared by crystallization under different conditions.

[00109] The term "prodrugs" refers to compounds that have cleavable groups and become by solvolysis or under physiological conditions the compounds described herein, which are pharmaceutically active in vivo. Such examples include, but are not limited to, choline ester derivatives and the like, N-alkylmorpholine esters and the like. Other derivatives of the compounds described herein have activity in both their acid and acid derivative forms, but in the acid sensitive form often offer advantages of solubility, tissue compatibility, or delayed release in the mammalian organism (see, Bundgard, H., Design of Prodrugs, pp. 7-9, 21-24, Elsevier, Amsterdam 1985). Prodrugs include acid derivatives well known to practitioners of the art, such as, for example, esters prepared by reaction of the parent acid with a suitable alcohol, or amides prepared by reaction of the parent acid compound with a substituted or unsubstituted amine, or acid anhydrides, or mixed anhydrides. Simple aliphatic or aromatic esters, amides, and anhydrides derived from acidic groups pendant on the compounds described herein are particular prodrugs. In some cases it is desirable to prepare double ester type prodrugs such as (acyloxy)alkyl esters or ((a!koxycarbonyl)oxy)alkylesters. Cj.g alky , C _2- 8 alkenyl, C?-s alkynyl, aryl, C _7- i ₂ substituted aryl, and C _7-12 arylaikyl esters of the compounds described herein may be preferred.

[ΘΘ110] The term "small molecule" refers to molecules, whether naturally-occurring or artificially created (e.g., via chemical synthesis) that have a relatively low molecular weight. Typically, a small molecule is an organic compound (i.e. , it contains carbon). The small molecule may contain multiple carbon-carbon bonds, stereocenters, and other functional groups (e.g. , amines, hydroxyl, carbonyls, and heterocyclic rings, etc.). In certain

embodiments, the molecular weight of a small molecule is not more than about 1,000 g/mol, not more than about 900 g/mol, not more than about 800 g/mol, not more than about 700 g/mol, not more than about 600 g/mol, not more than about 500 g/mol, not more than about 400 g/mol, not more than about 300 g/mol, not more than about 200 g/mol, or not more than about 100 g/mol. In certain embodiments, the molecular weight of a small molecule is at least about 100 g/mol, at least about 200 g/mol, at least about 300 g/mol, at least about 400 g/mol, at least about 500 g/mol, at least about 600 g/mol, at least about 700 g/mol, at least about 800 g/mol, or at least about 900 g/mol, or at least about 1 ,000 g/mol. Combinations of the above ranges (e.g. , at least about 200 g/mol and not more than about 500 g/mol) are also possible. In certain embodiments, the small molecule is a therapeutically active agent such as a drug (e.g. , a molecule approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration as provided in the Code of Federal Regulations (C.F.R.)). The small molecule may also be complexed with one or more metal atoms and/or metal ions. In tins instance, the small molecule is also referred to as a "small organometallic molecule." Preferred small molecules are biologically active in that they produce a biological effect in animals, preferably mammals, more preferably humans. Small molecules include, but are not limited to, radionuclides and imaging agents. In certain embodiments, the small molecule is a drug. Preferably, though not necessarily, the drug is one that has already been deemed safe and effective for use in humans or animals by the appropriate governmental agency or regulatory body. For example, drugs approved for human use are listed by the FDA under 21 C.F.R. §§ 330.5, 331 through 361, and 440 through 460, incorporated herein by reference; drugs for veterinary use are listed by the FDA under 21 C.F.R. §§ 500 through 589, incorporated herein by reference. All listed drugs are considered acceptable for use in accordance with the present invention.

[00111] A "protein,' ^* "peptide," or "polypeptide" comprises a polymer of amino acid residues linked together by peptide bonds. The term refers to proteins, polypeptides, and peptides of any size, structure, or function. Typically, a protein will be at least three amino acids long. A protein may refer to an individual protein or a collection of proteins. Inventi ve proteins preferably contain only natural ammo acids, although non-natural ammo acids (i.e. , compounds that do not occur in nature but that can be incorporated into a polypeptide chain) and/or amino acid analogs as are known in the art may alternatively be employed. Also, one or more of the ammo acids in a protein may be modified, for example, by the addition of a chemical entity such as a carbohydrate group, a hydroxy! group, a phosphate group, a faraesyl group, an isofaraesyl group, a fatty acid group, a linker for conjugation or

functional] zati on, or other modification. A protein may also be a single molecule or may be a multi-molecular complex. A protein may be a fragment of a naturally occurring protein or peptide. A protein may be naturally occurring, recombinant, synthetic, or any combination of these.

[00112] The term "inhibition", "inhibiting", "inhibit," or "inhibitor" refer to the ability of a compound to reduce, slow, halt, and/or prevent activity of a particular biological process in a cell relative to vehicle. [00113] A "subject" to which administration is contemplated refers to a human (i.e. , male or female of any age group, e.g. , pediatric subject (e.g., infant, child, or adolescent) or adult subject (e.g. , young adult, middle-aged adult, or senior adult)) or non-human animal. In certain embodiments, the non-human animal is a mammal (e.g., primate (e.g. , cynomolgus monkey or rhesus monkey), commercially relevant mammal (e.g. , cattle, pig, horse, sheep, goat, cat, or dog), or bird (e.g. , commercially relevant bird, such as chicken, duck, goose, or turkey)). In certain embodiments, the non-human animal is a fish, reptile, or amphibian. The non-human animal may be a male or female at any stage of development. The non-human animal may be a transgenic animal or genetically engineered animal. A "patient" refers to a human subject in need of treatment of a disease.

[00114] The terms "administer," "administering,' ^* or "administration" refers to implanting, absorbing, ingesting, injecting, inhaling, or otherwise introducing a compound described herein, or a composition thereof, in or on a subject.

[00115] The terms "treatment," "treat," and "treating" refer to reversing, alleviating, delaying the onset of, or inhibiting the progress of a disease described herein. In some embodiments, treatment may be administered after one or more signs or symptoms of the disease have developed or have been observed. In other embodiments, treatment may be administered in the absence of signs or symptoms of the disease. For example, treatment maybe administered to a susceptible subject prior to the onset of symptoms (e.g., in light of a history of symptoms and/or in light of exposure to a pathogen). Treatment may also be continued after symptoms have resolved, for example, to delay and/or prevent recurrence.

[00116] The term "prevent," "preventing," or "prevention" refers to a prophylactic treatment of a subject who is not and was not with a disease but is at risk of developing the disease or who was with a disease, is not with the disease, but is at risk of regression of the disease. In certain embodiments, the subject is at a higher risk of developing the disease or at a higher risk of regression of the disease than an average healthy member of a population.

[00117] The terms "condition," "disease," and "disorder" are used interchangeably.

[00118] An "effective amount" of a compound described herein refers to an amount sufficient to elicit the desired biological response. An effective amount of a compound described herein may vary depending on such factors as the desired biological endpoint, the pharmacokinetics of the compound, the condition being treated, the mode of administration, and the age and health of the subject. In certain embodiments, an effective amount is a therapeutically effective amount. In certain embodiments, an effective amount is a prophylactic treatment. In certain embodiments, an effective amount is the amount of a compound described herein in a single dose. In certain embodiments, an effective amount is the combined amounts of a compound described herein in multiple doses.

[00119] A "therapeutically effective amount" of a compound described herein is an amount sufficient to provide a therapeutic benefit in the treatment of a condition or to delay or minimize one or more symptoms associated with the condition. A therapeutically effective amount of a compound means an amount of therapeutic agent, alone or in combination with other therapies, which provides a therapeutic benefit in the treatment of the condition. The term "therapeutically effective amount" can encompass an amount that improves overall therapy, reduces or avoids symptoms, signs, or causes of the condition, and/or enhances the therapeutic efficacy of another therapeutic agent.

[00120] The term "cancer" refers to a class of diseases characterized by the development of abnormal cells that proliferate uncontrollably and have the ability to infiltrate and destroy normal body tissues.

[00121] The terms "neoplasm" and "tumor" are used herein interchangeably and refer to an abnormal mass of tissue wherein the growth of the mass surpasses and is not coordinated with the growth of a normal tissue. A neoplasm or tumor may be "benign" or "malignant," depending on the following characteristics: degree of cellular differentiation (including morphology and functionality), rate of growth, local invasion, and metastasis. A "benign neoplasm" is generally well differentiated, has characteristically slower growth than a malignant neoplasm, and remains localized to the site of origin. In addition, a benign neoplasm does not have the capacity to infiltrate, invade, or metastasize to distant sites. Exemplary benign neoplasms include, but are not limited to, lipoma, chondroma, adenomas, acrochordon, senile angiomas, seborrheic keratoses, lentigos, and sebaceous hyperplasias. In some cases, certain "benign" tumors may later give rise to malignant neoplasms, which may result from additional genetic changes in a subpopulation of the tumor's neoplastic cells, and these tumors are referred to as "pre-malignant neoplasms." An exemplary pre-malignant neoplasm is a teratoma. In contrast, a "malignant neoplasm" is generally poorly differentiated (anaplasia) and has characteristically rapid growth accompanied by progressive infiltration, invasion, and destruction of the surrounding tissue. Furthermore, a malignant neoplasm generally has the capacity to metastasize to distant sites. The term "metastasis," "metastatic," or "metastasize" refers to the spread or migration of cancerous cells from a primary or original tumor to another organ or tissue and is typically identifiable by the presence of a "secondary tumor" or "secondary cell mass" of the tissue type of the primary or original tumor and not of that of the organ or tissue in which the secondar ' (metastatic) tumor is located. For example, a prostate cancer that has migrated to bone is said to be metastasized prostate cancer and includes cancerous prostate cancer cells growing in bone tissue.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF CERTAIN EMBODIMENTS OF THE INVENTION

[00122] Aspects of the disclosure relate to the surprising discover}' that certain combinations of bromodomain inhibitors and immune modulators (e.g., immune checkpoint inhibitors) are particularly effective in treating some types of cancers (e.g. , hematological cancers and solid organ tumors). The invention is based, at least in part, on the recognition that administration of bromodomain inhibitors synergistically enhances the anti-cancer effects of immune checkpoint inhibitors.

Methods of treating ameer

|00123] In some aspects, the disclosure provides a method of treating cancer in a subject in need thereof, the method comprising administering to the subject a therapeutically effective amount of a bromodomain inhibitor; and, an immune checkpoint inhibitor.

[00124] As used herein, "a subject in need thereof is a subject having, or suspected of having cancer, e.g., the subject has been diagnosed by a physician (e.g., using methods well known in the art; see, for example, Methods of Cancer Diagnosis, Theapy and Prognosis, Hay at (Ed.), vols. 1-8, 2008-2010). Examples of methods for diagnosing cancer include, but are not limited to blood tests, urine tests, tissue biopsy, image-based tests (e.g. , magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), computerized tomography (CT scans), and x-ray), and molecular tests (e.g., PCR-based diagnostic methods).

[00125] Aspects of the disclosure relate to the surprising discover}' that bromodomain inhibitors require an intact immune system for optimal efficacy in treatment of cancer. As used herein, the term "intact immune system" refers to subject (e.g., a human) with a functional immune system capable of raising an immune response to a foreign antigen. Thus, a subject having an "intact immune system" has a full complement of immune effector ceils (e.g. , T-ceI3s, B-cells, NK cells, dendritic cells, myeloid cells) and immune effector molecules (e.g., perform, granzymes, death receptors, T-cell receptors, co-stimulatory molecules). The immune response includes, for example, the ability to generate B ceils that secrete antibodies. [00126] Aspects of the invention relate to use of a combination of a bromodomain inhibitor and an immune checkpoint inhibitor for the treatment of a hematological cancer and/or a solid organ tumor. In some embodiments, the hematological cancer is lymphoma, leukemia, or myeloma. Examples of hematological cancers include, but are not limited to acute lymphocytic leukemia (ALL), acute myelocytic leukemia (AML), chronic myelocytic leukemia (CML), Hodgkin lymphoma (HL), non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL) ,mantle cell lymphoma (MCL), B-cell lymphoma, and multiple myeloma. In some embodiments, the cancer is a solid organ tumor. Examples of solid organ tumors include, but are not limited to, tumors of the liver, colon, breast, lung, prostate, brain, kidney, head and neck, melanoma, skin, pancreas, colorectum, bladder, sarcoma (e.g. , tumors of bone or muscle), and melanocytes (e.g. , melanoma).

[00127] Aspects of the invention relate to the disco very that certain combinations of bromodomain inhibitors and immune checkpoint inhibitors exhibit synergistic anti-cancer effects when administered to a subject having or suspected of having cancer. As used herein, the terms "synergist! caliy" or "synergy" refer to refers to the joint action of agents (e.g. , pharmaceutically active agents), that when taken together increase each other's effectiveness. Without wishing to be bound by any particular theory, certain bromodomain inhibitors (e.g. , JQ1) down-regulate immune checkpoint proteins (e.g. , PD-L1) and increase the therapeutic efficacy of immune checkpoint inhibitors (e.g. , anti-PD-Ll antibody) compared to treatment with the bromodomain inhibitor or the immune checkpoint inhibitor alone. The synergistic effects of bromodomain inhibitor/immune checkpoint inhibitor combinations are described in the Examples section and in Figure 4.

[00128] Assessment of therapeutic efficacy can be performed by any suitable method in the art. For example, therapeutic efficacy in treating a solid tumor can be assessed by measurement of tumor growth (e.g. , inhibition of tumor growth), or a reduction in tumor size. In another example, therapeutic efficacy in treating a hematological cancer can be assessed by measuring induction of apoptosis in cancer cells (e.g. , by annexin V staining) that have been treated with the combination of a bromodomain inhibitor and an immune checkpoint inhibitor. Additional methods of assessing therapeutic efficacy of cancer treatments are disclosed, for example, in Textbook of Medical Oncology 4 ^th Ed.. Cavalli et al. (Eds.), Taylor & Francis, 2009 and in Cell Death Techniques- A Laboratory Manual. Johnstone and Silke (Eds.), Cold Spring Harbor Press, 2015.

[00129] A bromodomain inhibitor can be a peptide, antibody, interfering RNA, or small molecule. Examples of antisense compounds include, but are not limited to interfering RNAs (e.g. , dsRNA, siRNA, shRNA, miRNA, and amiRNA), antisense oligonucleotides (ASO), and ap tamers (e.g. , DNA aptamers and RNA aptamers). In some embodiments, a

bromodomain inhibitor is a small molecule.

[00130] In some embodiments, the bromodomain inhibitor is a bromodomam inhibitor selected from the group consisting of formulas (I)-(XI), or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt, solvate, hydrate, polymorph, co-crystal, tautomer, stereoisomer, isotopically labeled derivative, or prodrag thereof. Such bromodomam inhibitors are described in further detail below.

Immune Modulators

[00254] Certain aspects of the invention relate to the surprising discovery that

combinations of bromodomain inhibitors and immune modulators (e.g. , immune checkpoint inhibitors) are particularly effective in treating cancers. In some embodiments, the immune modulator activates expression or activity of a stimulatory immune molecule. In some embodiments, the stimulatory immune molecule is selected from the group consisting of 4- 1BB (CD137), CD137L, OX40, OX40L, ICOS, CD40, CD40L, CD70, CD27, CD28, CD80, CD86, B7RP1, and Herpesvirus entry mediator (HVEM). In some embodiments, the immune modulator is a peptide, antibody, interfering RNA, or small molecule. In some embodiments, the immune modulator is a monoclonal antibody, or an Ig fusion protein. In some embodiments, the immune modulator is an agonistic antibody directed to a stimulatory immune molecule (e.g., 4-1BB (CD137), CDI37L, OX40, OX40L, ICOS, CD40, CD40L, (1)7( 1. (1)27. ( 1)28. (1)80. CD86, B7RP1, or HVEM).

[00255] In some embodiments, the immune modulator inhibits expression or activity of an inhibitory immune molecule (e.g. , an immune checkpoint molecule). In some embodiments, the immune modulator is an immune checkpoint inhibitor,

[00256] As used herein, the term "immune checkpoint inhibitor" refers to an agent that reduces, slows, halts, and/or prevents activity of a an immune checkpoint protein in a cell relative to vehicle. Immune checkpoint proteins are proteins that regulate the inhibitory pathways of a subject's (e.g. human's) immune system, maintain self-tolerance, and modulate the duration and amplitude of a physiological immune response. Typically, immune checkpoint proteins are dysregulated by cancer cells (e.g., tumors). Without wishing to be bound by any particular theory, immune checkpoint proteins can be targeted with inhibitors as an anti-cancer therapy, for example as described by Pardoll et al.. Nature Reviews Cancer, 12: 252-264, 2012.

[00257] Non-limiting examples of immune checkpoint proteins include inhibitory receptors and their cognate ligands. Examples of inhibitory receptors include, but are not limited to, Cytotoxic T-cell-Lymphocyte-associated Antigen 4 (CTLA4), Programmed Cell Death protein 1 (PD1), Lymphocyte Activation Gene 3 (LAG3), T-cell Membrane Protein 3 (ΊΊΜ3), and 4- lBB (CD137). Examples of immune checkpoint proteins that are ligands include, but are not limited to, PD1 Ligands 1 and 2 (PDL-1, PDL-2), B7-H3, B7-H4, and 4- 1BB (CD137) ligand. Thus, in some embodiments, the immune checkpoint inhibitor is an inhibitor of an immune checkpoint protein selected from the group consisting of: CTLA-4, PD-1, PDL-1, ΊΊΜ3, LAG3, B7-H3, B7-H4, and 4-lBB (CD137).

[00258] An immune checkpoint inhibitor can be a peptide, antibody, interfering RNA, or small molecule. Generally, immune checkpoints are initiated by ligand-receptor interactions between immune checkpoint proteins. See, for example, Pardoll et al, Nature Reviews Cancer, 12: 252-264, 2012. In some embodiments, such interactions are blocked by using specific antibodies (e.g., antibodies that bind specifically to an immune checkpoint protein or its interacting partner), recombinant protein ligands, and/or soluble recombinant receptor proteins. Thus, in some embodiments, the immune checkpoint inhibitor is an antibody (e.g. , a monoclonal antibody), or an Ig fusion protein.

[00259] Methods of producing antibodies are well known in the art. For example, an epitope of a target protein (e.g. , an immune checkpoint protein) can be used to generate polyclonal antibodies in animals. Alternatively, a monoclonal antibody can be produced. Methods of producing monoclonal and polyclonal antibodies are described, for example, in Antibodies: A Laboratory Manual. Harlow and Lane, Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory, New York, 1988. Examples of antibody immune checkpoint inhibitors include Ipilimumab, Tremelimumab, MDX-1 106 (BMS-936558), MK3475, CT-011 (Pidilizumab), MDX-1 105, MPDL3280A, MEDI4736, and MGA271. Further examples of antibody immune checkpoint inhibitors are disclosed, in Creel an, Cancer Control, 21(1): 80-89, 2014. In some

embodiments, the immune checkpoint inhibitor is selected from the group consisting of: anti- PD-1 antibody and anti -4- IBB antibody.

[00260] As used herein, the term "Ig fusion protein" refers to a a recombinant protein that comprises the Fc domain of an immunoglobulin (Ig) linked to a peptide or protein of interest. Generally, the Fc domain of an Ig fusion protein increases bioavailability and in vivo half-life of the peptide or protem of interest. In some embodiments, an Ig fusion protein comprises a peptide or protein that is a gand (e.g. , PDL-1) of an immune checkpoint protein (e.g. an immune checkpoint receptor, such as PD1 ) and is thus configured to inhibit said immune checkpoint protein. Examples of Ig fustion protein immune checkpoint inhibitors include AMP-224 and IMP321. Other suitable Ig fusion protein immune checkpoint inhibitors can be produced by methods known in the art, for example as disclosed in Cannon et al, Methods Mol. Biol., 748:51 -67, 2011.

Pharmaceutical Compositions and Modes of Administration

[00261] Pharmaceutical compositions described herein can be prepared by any method known in the art of pharmacology. In general, such preparatory methods include bringing the bromodomain inhibitors and/or immune modulators (e.g., immune checkpoint inhibitors) described herein (i.e. , the "active ingredients") into association with a carrier or excipient, and/or one or more other accessory ingredients, and then, if necessary and/or desirable, shaping, and/or packaging the product into a desired single- or multi-dose unit.

Pharmaceutical compositions provided herein can be produced in a manner known to the skilled artisan as described, for example, in Remington's Pharmaceutical Sciences. 15th Ed., Mack Publishing Co., New Jersey (1991 ).

[00262] The bromodomain inhibitors and/or immune modulators provided herein are typically formulated in dosage unit form for ease of administration and uniformity of dosage. It will be understood, however, that the total daily usage of the compositions described herein will be decided by a physician within the scope of sound medical judgment. The specific therapeutically effective dose level for any particular subject or organism will depend upon a variety of factors including the disease being treated and the severity of the disorder; the activity of the specific active ingredient employed; the specific composition employed; the age, body weight, general health, sex, and diet of the subject; the time of administration, route of administration, and rate of excretion of the specific active ingredient employed; the duration of the treatment; drugs used in combination or coincidental with the specific active ingredient employed; and like factors well known in the medical arts.

[00263] The bromodomain inhibitors, immune modulators, and compositions provided herein can be administered by any route, including enteral (e.g. , oral), parenteral, intravenous, intramuscular, intra-arterial, intramedullary, intrathecal, subcutaneous, intraventricular, transdermal, interdermal, rectal, intravaginal, intraperitoneal, topical (as by powders, ointments, creams, and/or drops), mucosal, nasal, bucal, sublingual; by intratracheal instillation, bronchial instillation, and/or inhalation; and/or as an oral spray, nasal spray, and/or aerosol. Specifically contemplated routes are oral administration, intravenous administration (e.g. , systemic intravenous injection), regional administration via blood and/or lymph supply, and/or direct administration to an affected site (e.g. , a solid orga tumor). In general, the most appropriate route of administration will depend upon a variety of factors including the nature of the agent (e.g. , its stability in the environment of the gastrointestinal tract), and/or the condition of the subject (e.g., whether the subject is able to tolerate oral administration). In certain embodiments, the bromodomain inhibitors, immune modulators, and pharmaceutical compositions described herein are suitable for topical administration to the eye of a subject.

[00264] The exact amount (e.g., combined amount) of a bromodomain inhibitor and an immune modulator required to achieve an effective amount will vary from subject to subject, depending, for example, on species, age, and general condition of a subject, severity of the side effects or disorder, identity of the particular bromodomain inhibitor, identity of the particular immune checkpoint inhibitor, mode of administration, and the like. An effective amount may be included in a single dose (e.g., single oral dose) or multiple doses (e.g. , multiple oral doses). In some embodiments, each dose is a combination of the bromodomain inhibitor and the immune modulator. In some embodiments, the combination of the bromodomain inhibitor and the immune modulator is administered as a single composition (e.g. , a heterogeneous mixture of the two inhibitors). In some embodiments, the

bromodomain inhibitor and the immune modulator may be independently administered (e.g., individually administered as separate compositions) at the same time or administered separately at different times in any order. For example, a bromodomain inhibitor can be administered prior to, concurrently with, or after administration of an immune modulator.

[00265] In certain embodiments, the duration between an administration of the bromodomain inhibitor and an administration of the immune modulator is about one hour, about two hours, about six hours, about twelve hours, about one day, about two days, about four days, or about one week, wherein the administration of the bromodomain inhibitor and the administration of the immune modulator are consecutive administrations. In some embodiments, an administration of a bromodomain inhibitor is occurs at least 24 hours (1 day), 2 days, 3 day s, or 4 days prior to the administration of an immune modulator.

[00266] In some aspects, the invention relates to administering a therapeutically effective amount of a bromodomain inhibitor and an immune modulator to a subject. An ^" 'effective amount" refers to an amount sufficient to elicit the desired biological response, e.g., treating cancer. As will be appreciated by those of ordinary skill in this art, the effective amount of the compounds described herein may vary depending on such factors as the desired biological endpoint, the pharmacokinetics of the compound, the condition being treated, the mode of administration, and the age and health of the subject. An effective amount includes, but is not limited to, that amount necessary to slow, reduce, inhibit, ameliorate or reverse one or more symptoms associated with cancer. For example, in the treatment of cancer, such terms may refer to a reduction in the size of the tumor.

[00267] In some embodiments, an effective amount is an amount of agent (e.g., bromomdomain inhibitor and/or an immune modulator) that results in a reduction of expression and/or activity of the protein to be inhibited (e.g., a bromodomain-containing protein and/or an immune checkpoint protein) in the cancer cells. The reduction in expression and/or activity resulting from administration of an effective amount of bromodomain inhibitor and/or immune checkpoint inhibitor can range from about 2-fold to about 500-fold, 5 -fold to about 250-fold, 10-fold to about 150-fold, or about 20-fold to about 100-fold. In some embodiments, reduction in expression and/or activity (e.g., of a bromodomain-containing protein and/or an immune checkpoint protein) resulting from administration of an effective amount of inhibitor (e.g. , bromomdomain inhibitor and/or an immune checkpoint inhibitor) can range from about 100% to about 1%, about 90% to about 10%, about 80% to about 20%, about 70% to about 30%, about 60% to about 40%. In some embodiments, an amount effective to treat the cancer results in a cell lacking expression and/or activity of a bromodomain-containing protein and/or an immune checkpoint protein (e.g. , complete silencing or knockout of a gene encoding a bromodomain-containing protein and/or a gene encoding an immune checkpoint protein). Inhibition of a bromodomain- containing protein and/or an immune checkpoint protein can be measured by any suitable means known in the art. For example, protein level can be measured by Western blot or gene expression level can be measured by quantitative PCR (qPCR). In another example, inhibition of a bromodomain-containing protein can be measured by assaying functional activity (e.g. , activity of proteins controlled or regulated by a bromodomain-containing protein) in a subject. In another example, inhibition of an immune checkpoint protein can be measured by assaying functional activity (e.g. , changes in immune cell activation or stimulation) in a subject.

[00268] An effective amount of a compound (e.g. , a bromodomain inhibitor or an immune checkpoint inhibitor) may vary from about 0.001 mg/kg to about 1000 mg/kg in one or more dose administrations, for one or several days (depending on the mode of administration). In certain embodiments, the effective amount varies from about 0.001 mg/kg to about 1000 mg/kg, from about 0.01 mg/kg to about 750 mg/kg, from about 0.1 mg/kg to about 500 mg/kg, from about 1.0 mg/kg to about 250 mg/kg, and from about 10.0 mg/kg to about 150 mg/kg. One of ordinary skill in the art would be able to determine empirically an appropriate therapeutically effective amount.

[00269] In certain embodiments, an effecti ve amount of a compound for administration one or more times a day to a 70 kg adult human may comprise about 0.0001 mg to about 3000 mg, about 0.0001 mg to about 2000 mg, about 0.0001 mg to about 1000 mg, about 0.001 mg to about 1000 mg, about 0.01 mg to about 1000 mg, about 0.1 mg to about 1000 mg, about 1 mg to about 1000 mg, about I mg to about 100 mg, about 10 mg to about 1000 mg, or about 100 mg to about 1000 mg, of a compound per unit dosage form.

[ΘΘ270] In certain embodiments, the compounds provided herein may be administered at dosage levels sufficient to deliver from about 0.001 mg/kg to about 100 mg/kg, from about 0.01 mg/kg to about 50 mg/kg, preferably from about 0.1 mg/kg to about 40 mg kg, preferably from about 0.5 mg kg to about 30 mg/kg, from about 0.01 mg kg to about 10 mg/kg, from about 0.1 mg/kg to about 10 mg/kg, and more preferably from about 1 mg/kg to about 25 mg/kg, of subject body weight per day, one or more times a day, to obtain the desired therapeutic effect.

[ΘΘ271] It will be appreciated that dose ranges as described herein provide guidance for the administration of provided pharmaceutical compositions to an adult. The amount to be administered to, for example, a child or an adolescent can be determined by a medical practitioner or person skilled in the art and can be lower or the same as that administered to an adult.

EXAMPLES

Materials and Methods

Cell lines and reagents

[ΘΘ272] Έμ-Myc lymphomas were derived, cultured and transplanted as previously described [1]. Retroviral transduction of freshly isolated Εμ-Myc lymphomas with murine stem-cell virus-internal ribosomai entry site-green fluorescence protein (MSCV-IRES-GFP) and Bcl2 (MSCV-IRES-GFP/Bcl-2) constructs were performed as previously described |2j. Retroviral TRMPVIR Tet-shRNA expression vectors were transfected into HEK293T Phoenix packaging ceils using standard calcium phosphate transfection protocols. Viral supernatant was used to transduce Εμ-Myc lymphoma cells ( 4242) in RetroNectin (Ta aRa, Shiga, Japan)-pre~coated 6- well plates (Becton Dickinson, Franklin Lakes, NJ). After 72 hours, GFP-positive cells were sorted by flow cytometry and expanded in vitro. GFP- positive cells were treated in vitro with 1 ug/mL doxycycline (Dox, Sigma- Aldrich) to induce shRNA DsRed expression. All human cell lines were maintained at 5% C0 ₂ and cultured in Gibco RPMi-1640 supplemented with 10% fetal calf serum, penicillin (100 u/mL), and streptomycin (100 mg/mL). Recombinant human interferon-gamma (IFN-γ) was purchased from BD Pharmingen (San Diego, CA). For in vitro use, JQ 1 , IBET-151 , IBET-762, RVX- 208, Y803, dBETl was dissolved in dimethylsulfoxide (DMSO) to a final concentration of 10 mM.

In vitro drug treatment

[00273] Εμ-Myc lymphoma ceils (5x10') were incubated in the presence of JQ1, or DMSO, in 500 uL culture media in a 48 well plates (Corning, NY) prior to analysis of PD- L1/L2 expression by flow cytometry. Human RPMI-8226 and L540 cells (5x10 ³ ) were incubated in the presence of JQ1, or DMSO vehicle, in 500 μΕ culture media in a 48 well plates (Coming, NY). Additionally RPMI-8226 cells were cultured with 100 ng/mL IFN-γ as a single agent and in combination with JQ1 , prior to analysis of PD-L1/L2 expression by flow cytometry.

Cell suspensions were washed once with ice-cold flow cytometry buffer and stained on ice for 30 minutes with the following conjugated antibodies: anti-mouse CD3 (pacific blue, 1 :400, clone 17A2), anti-mouse CD4 (APC, 1 :400, clone RM4-5), anti-mouse CDS (PE-Cy7, 1 :400, clone 53-6.7), anti-mouse PD- 1 (FITC, 1 :400, clone J43), anti-mouse PD-L1 (PE, 1 : 100, clone MIH5), anti-mouse PD-L2 (Biotin, 1 :200, clone TY25), anti-human PD-L1 (PE, 1 :200, clone 29E.2A3), or anti-human PD-L2 (Biotin, 1 :200, clone 24F.10C12). Biotinylated antibodies were subsequently incubated with Streptavidin-PE-Cy (1 : 1000, catalogue number 25-4317-82) or Streptavidin- Pacific Blue (1 : 1000, catalogue number 48-4317-82) for 30 minutes on ice. Anti-Armenian Hamster IgG (FITC, 1:400, catalogue number 55401 1), Mouse IgG2ai (PE, 1 : 100, clone RTK2758), Rat IgG2aK (Biotin, 1 :200, clone eBR2a), Mouse IgG2bK (PE, 1 :200, catalogue number 559529), and Mouse IgG2aic (Biotin, 1 :200, clone eBM2a) were used as isotype control antibodies, respectively. All antibodies were purchased from BioLegend (San Diego, CA), eBiosciences (San Diego, CA), or BD Bioscience (San Diego, CA). Cell suspensions were washed once with ice-cold flow cytometry buffer, resuspended in ice-cold flow cytometry buffer containing 7-AAD (1: 1000, BD Bioscience) and analyzed by flow cytometry. Data was collected on a LSR Fortessa flow cytometer (BD Biosciences) and analyzed using How Jo Software, version 10.0.7 (Tree Star).

Quantitative real-time PGR

[00275] Έμ-Myc lymphomas cells were cultured in the presence of JQ1 , or DMSO, as described above.

Chromatin immunoprecipitation-PGR

[00276] ChIP studies were carried out using 5x10 ' tumor cells treated 2 hours with 1 μΜ JQ1 or DMSO control and crosslmked for 10 minutes at room temperature by the addition of one-tenth of the volume of .1 1 % formaldehyde solution (11% formaldehyde, 50mM HEPES pH 7.3, 100 mM NaCl, 1 mM EDTA pH 8.0, 0.5 mM EGTA pH8.0) followed by quenching with 0.125M glycine and two washes with PBS. Fifty μΐ of Dynal protein 6 magnetic beads (Sigma) were blocked with 0.5% BSA (w/v) in PBS. Magnetic beads were bound with 10 ^ig of the anti-BRD4 antibody (Bethyl Labs # A301 -985A). Crosslinked cells were lysed with lysis buffer 1 (50 mM HEPES -KOH pH 7.5, 140 mM NaCl, 1 mM EDTA pH 8,0, 10% glycerol, 0.5% NP- 40, and 0.25% Triton X-100) and washed with ly sis buffer 2 (10 mM Tris-HCi pH 8.0, 200 mM NaCl, 1 mM EDTA pH 8.0, and 0.5 mM EGTA pH 8.0). Cells were resuspended and sonicated in lysis buffer 3 (50 mM HEPES-KOH pH 7.5, 140 mM NaCl, 1 mM EDTA pH 8.0, 1 mM EGTA pH 8.0, 1% Triton X-100, 0.1% NaDeoxycholate and 1% SDS) for 4X 10 minute cycles, 30 second on/off cycles using a Bioruptor sonicator on power setting HIGH. Sonicated lysaies were cleared, diluted 1 : 10 with dilution buffer (50 mM HEPES-KOH pH 7.5, 140 mM NaCl, 1 mM EDTA pH 8.0, 1 mM EGTA pH 8.0, 1% Triton X-l 00, 0.1 % Na-Deoxycholate) and incubated overnight at 4 °C with magnetic beads bound with antibody. Beads were washed two times with lysis buffer 3, once with high salt wash (50 mM HEPES-KOH pH 7.5, 500 mM NaCi, 1 mM EDTA pH 8.0, 1 mM EGTA pH 8.0, 1% Triton X-l 00, 0.1% Na-Deoxycholate and 0.1 % SDS), once with LiCl wash buffer (20 mM Tris-HCl pH 8.0, 1 mM EDTA pH 8.0, 250 mM LiCl, 0.5% NP-40, 0.5% Na- deoxycholate), and once with TE buffer (10 mM Tris-HCl pH 8.0, 1 mM EDTA pH 8.0). Protease inhibitors (Roche Complete) were added to all ly sis and wash buffers. Bound complexes were eluted twice in elution buffer (50 mM Tris-HCl pH 8.0, 10 mM EDTA pH 8.0, 1 % SDS) at 65 °C for 15 min with occasional vortexing. Crosslinks were reversed overnight at 65 °C. RNA and protein were digested using RNase A and Proteinase K, respectively, and DNA was purified with phenol chloroform extraction and ethanol precipitation. Primers were designed to amplify regions of the murine PD-Ll locus; Promoter site 1 (forward) 5 ' -TCGAC AGCCTCTCAGTAGC A-3 ' (SEQ ID NO: 5) and (reverse) 5'- TGACACACGCCTTAATTCCA-3'(SEQ ID NO; 6); Enhancer site 1 (forward) 5'- ACCGGTTTCATGGAAGAATG-3' (SEQ ID NO: 7) and (reverse) 5'- TTC AC TC GGC A AAC ACTGAG- 3' (SEQ ID NO: 8); Enhancer site 2 (forward) 5'- GGTC CTTGGCTGAGTTTGAA-3 ' (SEQ ID NO: 9) and (reverse) 5'- GCCATGTAGAACCAAGTGGAA-3'(SEQ ID NO: 10) ; Enhancer site 3 (forward) 5'- CTCGGTTCTCCCTTTC ACAG-3 ' (SEQ ID NO: 1 1 ) and (reverse) 5'- CCAGCAGGACGTTCTTTCTC-3'(SEQ ID NO: 12); Enhancer site 4 (forward) 5'- CGCAGAGTGGATTTGAAACA-3' (SEQ ID NO: 13) and (reverse) 5'- CAGCCAGGGAGAAAAGTGAC-3'(SEQ ID NO: 14); Enhancer site 5 (forward) 5'- TGCTTGGTCTTCATCGTCAG-3' (SEQ ID NO: 15) and (reverse) 5'- ATACCCCACCTGGCCTACTC-3' (SEQ ID NO: 16); Enhancer site 6 (forward) 5'- TGACAATGGTACAGAGAGATCACA-3' (SEQ ID NO: 17) and (reverse) 5'- GCTCTGGGTTCTTGCTGATG-3 ' (SEQ ID NO: 18); Enhancer site 7 (forward) 5'~ GGGAGC AAAATGC AGTAAGAA-3 ' (SEQ ID NO: 19) and (reverse) 5'- ATC GATGTGC GT AGCTTTC A-3 ' (S EQ ID NO: 20); Negative control region 1 (forward) 5'- C ACTGC AACTGCC AGAGA AA-3 ' (SEQ ID NO: 21) and (reverse) 5'- TCC AGACTCTTGGGGTATTC A-3 ' (SEQ ID NO: 22); Negative control region 2 (forward) 5'- C C C GTCT ATGAAAGC AGGAG-3 ' (SEQ ID NO: 23) and (reverse) 5'- C- ACGGGGATTGTTT AA ATGC-3 ' (SEQ ID NO: 24).

In vivo analysis

[00277] Female C57BL/6 mice were purchased. C57BL/6.Rag2cy ^" '' ^~ mice were bred in house. C57BL/6.Ragl ^" ' ^" mice were purchased. For transplantation of Έμ-Myc lymphomas in vivo, cohorts of six- to eight- week-old syngeneic mice were inoculated via tail vein injection with l-4xl0 ⁵ Εμ-Myc lymphoma cells. Mice were treated with 50 mg/kg JQl , reconstituted in 1 part DMSO to 9 parts 10% (w/v) Hydroxypropyl-P-cyclodextrin (HPBCD; Cyclodextrin Technologies Development Inc., Gainesville, FL) in sterile water, or DMSO vehicle control. Mice were dosed once daily (5 days/week) via intra-peritoneal (i.p.) injection, commencing three days post-intravenous inoculation, for a total of 5 weeks therapy or until treatment failure. Tumor-bearing C57BL/6 mice were treated with the following monoclonal antibodies via i.p. injection: Anti-4-l-BB (Anti-CD137, 100 μ , 3H3; BioXCell), anti-PD-1 (100 ug, RPMI-14; BioXCell), or control immunoglobulin (clg, Rat IgG2a, 2A3, 100 μg; BioXCell). Anti-PD-1 mAb was dosed on days 5, 10, 15, and 20 post tumor transplant. Anti- 4-1BB mAb was dosed on days 5, 8, and 1 post tumor transplant.

Statistical analysis

ΘΘ278] Statistical analysis was performed using GraphPad Prism software, Version 6.0c (La Jolla, CA).

An intact host immune system is required for the robust anti-cancer effects of JQl against a murine model of aggressive B-cell lymphoma

[ΘΘ279] Cohorts of mice on a C57BL/6 background (n=10 per treatment group) were injected intra enously with l-SxlO ⁵ Εμ-Myc lymphoma cells three days prior to

commencement of daily dosing with JQl (50 mg/kg), or DMSO vehicle, via i.p. injection. Figures 1A and IB show Kaplan-Meier survival curves representing cohorts of wild type C57BL/6 mice and immune compromised strains. Figure 1A shows C57BL/6.Rag2cy ^~ ' ^~ mice and Figure IB shows C57BL/6.Ragr ^/" . Both sets of mice were inoculated with Έμ-Myc lymphoma *4242 and treated with JQl, or DMSO vehicle. Figure 1C shows Kaplan-Meier survival curves representing cohorts of wild type C57BL/6 mice and immune compromised strain C57BL/6.Rag2cy ^" ' ^" inoculated with Εμ-Myc lymphoma ^# 299 and treated with JQl (solid line), or DMSO vehicle (dashed line). [00280] In all therapy experiments, JQ1 conveyed a significant survival advantage to both immune competent and immune deficient mice bearing established Έμ-Myc lymphoma. However, immune deficient mice (C57BL/6.Rag2cy ^{" ~} and C57BL/6.Ragl ^" '' ^" ) succumbed to disease significantly earlier than tumor-bearing wild type mice despite JQ1 treatment.

[00281] Splenic T-cells from tumor bearing mice express high levels of PD-1, indicative of an exhausted phenotype. The spleen was harvested from a wild type C57BL/6 mouse bearing established Εμ-Myc lymphoma ( ^r, 299) at end-stage, and splenic CD3 ⁺ CD4 ⁺ and CD3 ⁺ CD8 ⁺ cells were analyzed for the expression of PD-1 by flow cytometry. Results are shown in Figure ID.

PD-Ll is a direct target of BET inhibition in vitro and in vivo,

[00282] As described in Figures 2 A and 2B, JQ1 downregulates the expression of PD-Ll (CD274) on lymphoma cells as determined by flow cytometry analysis. Graphs showing the mean fluorescence intensity (MFI) of PD-Ll on Εμ-Myc lymphoma cell lines (Figure 2 A) 4242 and (Figure 2B) ^# 299 over-expressing Be!-2 following 24 hours treatment in vitro with indicated concentrations of JQ1, or DMSO control are provided. Representative data are presented as mean MFI of cells cultured and analyzed in triplicate ± S.E.M. (****p O.0001, Student's t test).

[00283] PD-Ll downregulation following BET inhibition is time-dependent. Flow cytometry analysis of PD-Ll expression on Εμ-Myc lymphoma cell line 6066 following treatment in vitro with 500 nM JQ1 or DMSO control for indicated time points was performed. Representative data are shown in Figure 2C.

[00284] An acute dose of JQI in C57BL/6 mice bearing established Έμ-Myc lymphoma rapidly downregulates both PD-Ll and PD-L2 (CD273) on tumor cells. A cohort of mice were injected intravenously with l-5xl0 ⁵ Εμ-Myc lymphoma *4242 cells and left for 12 days to develop bulky nodal disease. Peripheral lymph nodes were harvested 16 hours following a single dose of JQI (50 mg/kg), or DMSO vehicle (n=3 per treatment group) and assessed by flow cytometry. Graphs show the MFI of (Figure 2D) PD-Ll and (Figure 2E) PD-L2 expression gated on live GFP -positive tumor cells. Data are presented as mean MFI from 3 individual mice ± S.E.M. (*p <0.05, **p <0.01, Student's t test).

[ΘΘ285] Circulating tumor cells from the peripheral blood of C57BL/6 mice bearing Eu- Myc lymphoma and treated chronically with JQI express lower levels of PD-Ll . A cohort of mice were injected intravenously with l-5xl0 ⁵ Εμ-Mye lymphoma 4242/Bcl-2 cells and treated daily with JQ I (50 mg/kg), or DMSO vehicle (n=5 per treatment group). At day 18, peripheral blood was obtained and tumor cells were assessed by flow cytometry. Figure 2F shows the MFI of PD-L.1 expression gated on live GFP -positive tumor cells. Data are presented as mean MFI from 5 individual mice ± S.E.M, (**p <0.01, Student's t test).

[00286] JQ1 rapidly downreguiates PD-L1 transcript in vitro. Quantitative real-time-PCR (qPCR) analysis ofPD-Ll mRNA levels in Εμ-Afyc lymphoma cell lines (Figure 2G) *4242 and (Figure 2H) *299 over-expressing Bcl-2 following treatment with 1000 tiM JQ1, or DMSO control, was performed at indicated time points. Transcript levels are presented as fold change compared to DMSO. Data are presented as mean fold-change from 3 separate experiments ± S.E.M, (**p <0.01, ***p O.001, ****p <0.0001 , Student's t test),

[00287] Figure 21 provides data for chromatin immunoprecdpitation-PCR of Εμ-Myc lymphoma 299, and shows binding of BRD4 at the PD-Ll locus following 2 hours treatment in vitro with 1000 nM JQ1, or DMSO control.

Genetic knockdown ofBRD4 phenocopies BET inhibitor treatment.

[00288] Έμ-Myc lymphoma cells ( 4242) were transduced with dox cycline (Dox)- inducibie TRMPVIR shRNA expression vectors targeting BRD4 (sh.BRD4.498 and sh.BRD4.500) or scrambled control (sh.SCR). The PGK promoter drives constitutive GFP expression in retro viraliy infected Έμ-Myc lymphoma cells and addition of Dox induces rtTA3 activity to activate the TRE promoter and the DsRed-shRNA gene cassette. Figure 3A shows representative FACS plots of *4242 expressing sh.BRD4.498, sh.BRD4.500, and sh.SCR treated in the presence of absence of Dox for 16 hours in vitro.

[00289] Retrovirally infected and Dox-treated Εμ-Myc lymphoma cells expressing the indicated shRNA were gated on by GFP 'DsRed ¹ cells. Figure 3B shows the MFI of PD-Ll expression on GFPTJsRed populations following 16 hours in vitro treatment with Dox. Representative data are presented as mean MFI of cells cultured and analyzed in triplicate ± S.E.M (*p 0.05. **p <0.()1, Student's test).

ΘΘ290] JQ1 treatment downreguiates the constitutive expression of PD-Ll on human lymphoma cell lines. The Hodgkin lymphoma cell line L540, with a selective 9p24.1 amplification containing the PD-Ll loci, was treated for 24 hours in vitro with indicated concentrations of JQ1 prior to analysis with flow cytometry. Figure 3C shows MFI of PD-Ll expression.

[00291] JQ1 treatment downreguiates the IFN-y-inducibie expression of PD-Ll on human myeloma ceil lines. The human Ig-cMYC translocated multiple myeloma ceil line RPMI- 8226 was treated with either single agent or combination of 100 ng/mL IFN-γ and 500 nM JQl, or DMSO vehicle, for 24 hours prior to analysis by flow cytometry. Figure 3D shows MFI of PD-L1 expression and IFN-y-mediated induction of PD-L1 that can be abrogated with the co-treatment of JQl. Representative data are presented as mean MFI of cells cultured and analyzed in triplicate ± S.E.M. i*p <0.05, Student's t test).

[00292] Chemically distinct bromodomain inhibitors downregulate the expression of PD- Ll (CD274) on lymphoma cells, as shown by flow cytometry. Figure 3E shows the mean fluorescence intensity (MFI) of PD-L1 on Εμ-Myc lymphoma ceil line 6066 following 24 hours treatment in vitro with 1 μΜ JQl, IBET-151 , IBET-762, Y803, or dBETl , 10 μΜ RVX-208, or DMSO control. Representative data are presented as mean MFI of cells cultured and analyzed in triplicate ± S.E.M. (***p O.001, Student's t test).

JQl in combination with checkpoint inhibitors or immune stimulating antibodies promotes curative anti-tumor responses,

[00293] Figures 4A and 4B show Kaplan-Meier survival curves representing cohorts of C56BL/6 (n ^:=: 6 per treatment group) injected intravenously with l -5xl0 ^J Έμ-Myc lymphoma "299 cells. Figure 4A shows the efficacy of JQl in combination with PD-1 blockade against Έμ-Myc lymphoma '299. Mice received JQl (50 mg/kg), or DMSO vehicle, via i.p. injection commencing day 3 post-transplant for a total of 25 doses. Mice received 100 ug of anti-PD-1 (clone RPMI-14) or Rat IgG isolype antibody via i.p. injection on days 5, 10, 15, and 20 post- transplant.

[00294] Figure 4B shows the efficacy of JQl in combination with the agonistic anti-4-lBB (CD137) immune stimulating antibody against Εμ-Myc lymphoma 299. Mice received JQl (50 mg/kg), or DMSO vehicle, via i.p. injection from day 3 post-transplant for a total of 25 doses. Mice received 100 ug of anti-4-lBB (clone 3H3) or Rat IgG isotype antibody via i.p. injection on days 5, 8, and 11 post-transplant.
