INHIBITORS OF CBL-B AND METHODS OF USE THEREOF

CROSS-REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATIONS

[0001] This application claims priority to U.S. Provisional Application No. 62/622,667, filed January 26, 2018, and U.S. Provisional Application No. 62/693,359, filed July 2, 2018, the contents of which are hereby incorporated by reference in their entirety for all purposes.

TECHNICAL FIELD OF THE INVENTION

[0002] Provided herein are compounds and compositions for inhibition of the Cbl-b enzyme and methods of use thereof in modulating the immune system, treatment of diseases, and treatment of cells in vivo, in vitro, or ex vivo.

BACKGROUND

[0003] The ubiquitin proteasome pathway is a complex system involved in the regulation of protein function and catabolism. Proteins in eukaryotic cells are conjugated with ubiquitin, a 76 amino acid, 8.5 kilodalton protein. This conjugation, known as ubiquitination, results in altered function or degradation of the target protein. Ubiquitination of the target protein occurs via a coupled series of reactions involving ubiquitin and a set of enzymes known as El, E2, and E3 enzymes. Ubiquitin is activated by the ubiquitin-activating enzyme, or El enzyme. Ubiquitin is then transferred to a ubiquitin-conjugating enzyme, or E2 enzyme. Finally, a ubiquitin ligase, or E3 enzyme, promotes the transfer of ubiquitin from the E2 enzyme to the target protein.

Polyubiquitination of the target protein predominantly serves as a signal leading to degradation of the ubiquitin-conjugated protein by the proteasome, where it undergoes proteolysis.

Ubiqutination by E3 ligases can also result in altered protein activity, interactions, or localization. Ubiquitination regulates diverse biology including cell division, DNA repair, and cellular signaling.

[0004] The synthesis and degradation of proteins in the cell is critical for cell cycle regulation, cell proliferation, apoptosis, and many other cellular processes. Thus, the ability to modulate the ubiquitin proteasome pathway offers a wealth of opportunities to intervene in disease processes. Mechanisms for intervention can include enhanced degradation of oncogene products, reduced degradation of tumor-suppressor proteins, and modulation of immune cell response.

[0005] Approximately 35 E2 enzymes and over 500 E3 enzymes are encoded in the human genome. Discovery of agents that modulate E2 or E3 enzymes accordingly provides the potential for therapies directed against disease processes involving a particular E2 or E3 enzyme. The present patent application is directed to agents that inhibit one such E3 enzyme, Casitas B- lineage lymphoma proto-oncogene-b (Cbl-b).

Phosphorylation of Cbl-b by the Src kinase allows UbcH5B-Ub to bind to Cbl-b and bring the Bodipy-Fluorescein tagged ubiquitin in proximity to the streptavidin-terbium bound to the N-terminal biotinylated Avi-tagged Cbl-b. The resulting complex produces a FRET signal indicating that Cbl-b is active or not subject to inhibition. FIG. 1B: In the presence of a Cbl-b inhibitor, such as one described herein, Cbl-b is unable to bind UbcH5B-Ub. The lack of a FRET signal indicates Cbl-b is inhibited by the Cbl-b inhibitor. Ub indicates ubiquitin; N-Avi indicates biotinylated Avi-tag at the N-terminus of Cbl-b; inhibitor indicates Cbl-b inhibitor.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0397] Provided herein are compounds and pharmaceutical compositions that inhibit the Cbl- b enzyme, as well as methods of treatment using such compounds and pharmaceutical compositions. The compounds and compositions can be used in methods of modulating the immune system, for treatment of diseases, and for treatment of cells in vivo, in vitro, or ex vivo.

[0398] T-cell activation and T-cell tolerance are tightly controlled processes regulating the immune response to tumors while preventing autoimmunity. Tolerance prevents the immune system from attacking cells expressing“self’ antigens. During peripheral tolerance, T-cells that recognize“self’ antigens (i.e.. self-reactive T-cells) become functionally unresponsive or are deleted after encountering“self’ antigens outside of the thymus. Peripheral tolerance processes therefore are important for preventing autoimmune diseases. Normally, cancer cells are removed by activated T-cells that recognize tumor antigens expressed on the surface of the cancer cells. However, in cancer, the tumor microenvironment can support T-cell tolerance to cancer cells, which allows cancer cells to avoid recognition and removal by the immune system. The ability of cancer cells to avoid tumor immunosurveillance can contribute to uncontrolled tumor growth. Therefore, T-cell tolerance can be a form of T-cell dysfunction. General principles of T-cell dysfunction are well known in the art. See Schietinger, A. et ah, Trends Immunol., 35(2):51-60 (2014). Additional types of T-cell dysfunction that can contribute to uncontrolled tumor growth include T-cell exhaustion, T-cell senescence and/or T-cell anergy. Therefore, treating T-cell dysfunction, for example, by increasing T-cell activation, increasing T-cell proliferation, decreasing T-cell tolerance and/or decreasing T-cell exhaustion, is beneficial for preventing or treating cancer. Additional cells of the immune system are important for recognition and removal of cancer cells during immune surveillance. For example, Natural Killer (NK) cells are lymphocytes of the innate immune system that are able to identify and kill cancer cells. See Martinez-Losato, L. et al., Clin Cancer Res., 2l(22):5048-5056 (2015). Recent studies have also shown that B-cell subsets with distinct phenotypes and functions exhibit diverse roles in the anti tumor response. See Saravaria, A., et al., Cell Mol Immunol., l4(8):662-674 (2017). Due to their role in tumor surveillance, NK cells and B cells may also be amenable as therapeutic targets for the prevention or treatment of cancer.

[0399] Cbl-b is a RING-type E3 ligase that plays an important role in the immune system due to its function as a negative regulator of immune activation. Cbl-b has an essential role in decreasing the activation of T-cells, thereby enhancing T-cell tolerance. Studies have found that cbl-b-deficient T-cells display lower thresholds for activation by antigen recognition receptors and co-stimulatory molecules (e.g., CD28). For example, loss of Cbl-b in T-cells uncouples the requirement for CD28 costimulation during T-cell activation and proliferation. See Bachmaier, K. et al., Nature., 403(6766):2l 1-216 (2000). Such cbl-b-/- T-cells are largely resistant to T-cell anergy, a tolerance mechanism in which T-cells are functionally inactivated and T-cell proliferation is greatly impaired. See Jeon, M et al, Immunity, 21(2): 167-177 (2004) and Schwartz et al., Annu Rev Immunol., 21:305-34 (2003). In support of this, loss of Cbl-b in cbl-b knockout mice resulted in impaired induction of T-cell tolerance and exacerbated autioimmunity. See Jeon, M et al., Immunity, 21(2): 167-177 (2004). Importantly, loss of Cbl-b in mice also resulted in a robust anti-tumor response that depends primarily on cytotoxic T cells. One study showed that cbl-b-/- CD8+ T cells are resistant to T regulatory cell-mediated suppression and exhibit enhanced activation and tumor infiltration. Therapeutic transfer of naive cbl-b-/- CD8+ T cells was sufficient to mediate rejection of established tumors. See Loeser, S. et al, J Exp Med., 204(4): 879-891 (2007). Recent studies have shown that Cbl-b also plays a role in NK cell activation. Genetic deletion of Cbl-b or targeted inactivation of its E3 ligase activity allowed NK cells to spontaneously reject metastatic tumors in a mouse model. See Paolino, M. et al, Nature, 507(7493):508-512.

[0400] Provided herein are compounds and compositions that inhibit Cbl-b and can be used in novel approaches to treat diseases such as cancer. In some embodiments, the compounds and compositions provided herein can be used in methods of modulating the immune system, such as increasing activation of T-cells, NK cells and B cells as well as in the treatment of such cells in vivo, in vitro, or ex vivo.

I. Definitions

[0401] An“effective amount” of an agent disclosed herein is an amount sufficient to carry out a specifically stated purpose. An“effective amount” may be determined empirically and in a routine manner, in relation to the stated purpose. An“effective amount” or an“amount sufficient” of an agent is that amount adequate to produce a desired biological effect, such as a beneficial result, including a beneficial clinical result. In some embodiments, the term“effective amount” refers to an amount of an agent effective to“treat” a disease or disorder in an individual (e.g., a mammal such as a human).

[0402] The term“Cbl-b” as used herein refers to a Cbl-b protein. The term also includes naturally occurring variants of Cbl-b, including splice variants or allelic variants. The term also includes non-naturally occurring variants of Cbl-b, such as a recombinant Cbl-b protein or truncated variants thereof, which generally preserve the binding ability of naturally occurring Cbl-b or naturally occurring variants of Cbl-b (e.g., the ability to bind to an E2 enzyme).

[0403] The terms“pharmaceutical formulation” and“pharmaceutical composition” refer to preparations that are in such form as to permit the biological activity of the active ingredient to be effective, and that contain no additional components that are unacceptably toxic to an individual to which the formulation or composition would be administered. Such formulations or compositions may be sterile.

[0404] “Excipients” as used herein include pharmaceutically acceptable excipients, carriers, vehicles or stabilizers that are nontoxic to the cell or mammal being exposed thereto at the dosages and concentrations employed. Often the physiologically acceptable excipient is an aqueous pH buffered solution.

[0405] Reference to a compound as described in a pharmaceutical composition, or to a compound as described in a claim to a pharmaceutical composition, refers to the compound described by the formula recited in the pharmaceutical composition, without the other elements of the pharmaceutical composition, that is, without carriers, excipients, etc.

[0406] The terms“treating” or“treatment” of a disease refer to executing a protocol, which may include administering one or more therapeutic agent to an individual (human or otherwise), in an effort to obtain beneficial or desired results in the individual, including clinical results. Beneficial or desired clinical results include, but are not limited to, alleviation or amelioration of one or more symptoms, diminishment of extent of disease, stabilized (/. e. , not worsening) state of disease, preventing spread of disease, delay or slowing of disease progression, amelioration or palliation of the disease state, and remission (whether partial or total).“Treatment” also can mean prolonging survival as compared to expected survival of an individual not receiving treatment. Further,“treating” and“treatment” may occur by administration of one dose of a therapeutic agent or therapeutic agents, or may occur upon administration of a series of doses of a therapeutic agent or therapeutic agents.“Treating” or“treatment” does not require complete alleviation of signs or symptoms, and does not require a cure.“Treatment” also can refer to clinical intervention, such as administering one or more therapeutic agents to an individual, designed to alter the natural course of the individual or cell being treated (i.e. , to alter the course of the individual or cell that would occur in the absence of the clinical intervention). The term “therapeutic agent” can refer to a Cbl-b inhibitor, a modified immune cell or compositions thereof.

[0407] As used herein, an“individual” or a“subject” is a mammal. A“mammal” for purposes of treatment includes humans; non-human primates; domestic and farm animals; and zoo, sports, or pet animals, such as dogs, horses, rabbits, cattle, pigs, hamsters, gerbils, mice, ferrets, rats, cats, etc. In some embodiments, the individual or subject is human.

[0408] As used herein, the term“T-cell dysfunction” refers to a state of reduced immune responsiveness to antigenic stimulation. The term“T-cell dysfunction” includes common elements of both T-cell exhaustion and/or T-cell anergy in which antigen recognition may occur, but the ensuing immune response is ineffective to control tumor growth. The term“T-cell dysfunction” also includes being refractory or unresponsive to antigen recognition, such as, impaired capacity to translate antigen recognition to downstream T-cell effector functions, such as proliferation, cytokine production and/or target cell killing.

[0409] The term“T-cell anergy” refers to the state of unresponsiveness to antigen stimulation resulting from incomplete or insufficient signals delivered through the T-cell receptor.“T-cell anergy” can also result upon stimulation with antigen in the absence of co-stimulation, resulting in the cell becoming refractory to subsequent activation by the antigen even in the context of co stimulation.

[0410] The term“T-cell exhaustion” refers to a state of T-cell dysfunction that arises from sustained TCR signaling that can occur during cancer. It is distinguished from anergy in that it arises not through incomplete or deficient signaling, but from sustained signaling. It is defined by poor effector function, sustained expression of inhibitory receptors and a transcriptional state distinct from that of functional effector or memory T cell.

[0411] A“T -cell dysfunction disorder” is a disorder or condition characterized by decreased responsiveness of T-cells to antigenic stimulation. Decreased responsiveness may result in ineffective control of a tumor. In some embodiments, the term“T-cell dysfunction disorder” encompasses cancer such as a hematologic cancer or a non-hematologic cancer. In some embodiments, a“T-cell dysfunctional disorder” is one in which T-cells are anergic or have decreased ability to secrete cytokines, proliferate or execute cytolytic activity.

[0412] “Enhancing T-cell function” means to induce, cause or stimulate a T-cell to have a sustained or amplified biological function, or renew or reactivate exhausted or inactive T-cells. Examples of enhanced T-cell function include increased T-cell activation (e.g., increased cytokine production, increased expression of T-cell activation markers, etc.), increased T-cell proliferation, decreased T-cell exhaustion, and/or decreased T-cell tolerance relative to the state of the T-cells before treatment with a Cbl-b inhibitor. Methods of measuring enhancement of T- cell function are known in the art.

[0413] ‘Proliferation” is used herein to refer to the proliferation of a cell. Increased proliferation encompasses the production of a greater number of cells relative to a baseline value. Decreased proliferation encompasses the production of a reduced number of cells relative to a baseline value. In some embodiments, the cell is an immune cell such as a T-cell and increased proliferation is desired. In some embodiments, the cell is a cancer cell and reduced proliferation is desired.

Where a haloalkyl moiety or other halo-substituted moiety is substituted with more than one halogen, it may be referred to by using a prefix corresponding to the number of halogen moieties attached. For example, dihaloaryl, dihaloalkyl, trihaloaryl, trihaloalkyl, etc., refer to aryl and alkyl substituted with two (“di”) or three (“tri”) halo groups, which may be, but are not necessarily, the same halo; thus, for example, the haloaryl group 4-chloro-3 -fluorophenyl is within the scope of dihaloaryl.

[0429] Oxo” refers to the group =0, that is, an oxygen atom doubly bonded to carbon or another element.

[0430] “Optionally substituted,” unless otherwise specified, means that a group is unsubstituted or substituted by one or more (e.g., 1, 2, 3, 4, or 5) of the substituents listed for that group, in which the substituents may be the same or different. In one embodiment, an optionally substituted group is unsubstituted. In one embodiment, an optionally substituted group has one substituent.

In another embodiment, an optionally substituted group has four substituents. In some embodiments, an optionally substituted group has 1 to 2, 1 to 3, 1 to 4, or 1 to 5 substituents. When multiple substituents are present, each substituent is independently chosen unless indicated otherwise. For example, each (C1-C4 alkyl) substituent on the group -N(C _I -C ₄ alkyl)(Ci-C4 alkyl) can be selected independently from the other, so as to generate groups such as -N(CH ₃ )(CH ₂ CH ₃ ), etc.

[0431] In addition to the disclosure herein, the term“substituted,” when used to modify a specified group or radical, can also mean that one or more hydrogen atoms of the specified group or radical are each, independently of one another, replaced with the same or different substituent groups as defined herein. In some embodiments, a group that is substituted has 1, 2, 3, or 4 substituents, 1, 2, or 3 substituents, 1 or 2 substituents, or 1 substituent.

[0432] Substituents can be attached to any chemically possible location on the specified group or radical, unless indicated otherwise. Thus, -Ci-Cs alkyl-OH includes, for

example, -CH ₂ CH ₂ OH and -CH(OH)-CH ₃ , and -CH ₂ C(OH)(CH ₃ ) ₂ .

[0433] Unless a specific isotope of an element is indicated in a formula, the disclosure includes all isotopologues of the compounds disclosed herein, such as, for example, deuterated derivatives of the compounds (where H can be 2H, i.e. , D). Isotopologues can have isotopic replacements at any or at all locations in a structure, or can have atoms present in natural abundance at any or all locations in a structure.

[0434] The disclosure also includes any or all of the stereochemical forms, including any enantiomeric or diastereomeric forms of the compounds described herein, and cis/trans or E/Z isomers. Unless stereochemistry is explicitly indicated in a chemical structure or name, the structure or name is intended to embrace all possible stereoisomers of a compound depicted. In addition, where a specific stereochemical form is depicted, it is understood that all other stereochemical forms are also described and embraced by the disclosure, as well as the general non-stereospecific form and mixtures of the disclosed compounds in any ratio, including mixtures of two or more stereochemical forms of a disclosed in any ratio, such that racemic, non- racemic, enantioenriched and scalemic mixtures of a compound are embraced. Compositions comprising a disclosed compound also are intended, such as a composition of substantially pure compound, including a specific stereochemical form thereof. Compositions comprising a mixture of disclosed compounds in any ratio also are embraced by the disclosure, including compositions comprising mixtures of two or more stereochemical forms of a disclosed compound in any ratio, such that racemic, non-racemic, enantioenriched and scalemic mixtures of a compound are embraced by the disclosure. If stereochemistry is explicitly indicated for one portion or portions of a molecule, but not for another portion or portions of a molecule, the structure is intended to embrace all possible stereoisomers for the portion or portions where stereochemistry is not explicitly indicated.

[0435] The disclosure also embraces any and all tautomeric forms of the compounds described herein.

Salts of basic compounds with amino acids, such as aspartate salts and glutamate salts, also can be prepared. The desired salt of an acidic compound can be prepared by methods known to those of skill in the art by treating the compound with a base.

Pharm. Sci. 66: 1 (1977).

[0437] As described in Biological Example 1, FIG. 1A, and FIG. 1B, the Cbl-b activity assay (Cbl-b inhibition assay) used to measure the IC ₅₀ values for Cbl-b inhibition uses a mixture comprising an N-terminal biotinylated Avi -tagged Cbl-b, an E2 enzyme (i.e.. UbcH5B) irreversibly conjugated to Bodipy-Fluorescein tagged ubiquitin (i.e.. UbcH5B-Ub), a Src kinase, streptavidin-terbium, and assay buffer. FIG. 1A shows the assay in the absence of a Cbl-b inhibitor, where phosphorylation of Cbl-b by the Src kinase allows UbcH5B-Ub to bind to Cbl-b and brings the Bodipy-Fluorescein tagged ubiquitin in proximity to the streptavidin-terbium bound to the N-terminal biotinylated Avi-tagged Cbl-b. The resulting complex produces a FRET signal indicating that Cbl-b is active or not subject to inhibition. FIG. 1B shows the assay in the presence of a Cbl-b inhibitor, where Cbl-b is unable to bind UbcH5B-Ub. The lack of a FRET signal indicates Cbl-b is inhibited by the Cbl-b inhibitor. In FIG. 1A and FIG. 1B, Ub indicates ubiquitin; N-Avi indicates biotinylated Avi-tag at the N-terminus of Cbl-b; and inhibitor indicates Cbl-b inhibitor. In one embodiment, the Cbl-b activity assay (Cbl-b inhibition assay) used to measure IC ₅₀ for inhibition of Cbl-b uses the conditions described in Biological Example 1, with 100 mM NaCl and 60 nM Src kinase. In another embodiment, an alternate assay, the“low-salt/low- Src kinase assay,” uses the conditions described in Biological Example 1, but with 50 mM NaCl and 30 nM Src kinase.

[0438] The Cbl-b binding assay is also described in Biological Example 1, and provides the dissociation constant K _D for the binding of the compounds disclosed herein.

[0448] The schemes below describe methods of synthesizing the compounds disclosed herein, where the rings represented by Ring A, Ring C, and Ring B are as described in the specification and claims herein. Thus, for example, Ring C in the schemes below can be 1,3- substituted phenyl, 2,4-substituted pyridyl (i.e.. the pyridine nitrogen is ortho to the branch of the molecule having Ring A, while the pyridine nitrogen is para to the branch of the molecule having Ring B), 3, 5 -substituted pyridyl, or iso-2, 4-substituted pyridyl (i.e., the pyridine nitrogen is ortho to the branch of the molecule having Ring B, while the pyridine nitrogen is para to the branch of the molecule having Ring A). Similarly, Ring A in the schemes below can be any of the rings described in the specification and claims herein for Ring A, for example, including, but not limited to, a phenyl ring or a pyridazinyl ring; and Ring C in the schemes below can be any of the rings described in the specification and claims herein for Ring C, for example, including, but not limited to, triazolyl. One of skill in the art will appreciate that terms such as“a heterocyclic ring,”“a heteroaryl ring,” and the like can refer to a single ring or multiple condensed rings, unless otherwise indicated or clear from context.

Scheme A

[0449] Compounds of the general formula A-3 can be readily synthesized from acids A-l and anilines A-2 using standard amide bond formation conditions in standard solvents such as dimethyl formamide or methylene chloride. If acids A-l or the anilines A-2 are derivatized by protected functional groups, these may be removed and subsequently derivatized as appropriate.

Scheme B

[0450] Scheme B outlines an alternate approach to synthesizing amides B-3. Ketone substituted amines B-l may be acylated with acids A-l under standard amide bond formation conditions (e.g., active ester formation, carbodiimide condensation) and reduced to yield the corresponding alcohols B-2. The secondary alcohols can be converted to thioethers B-3 either directly under conditions such as the Mitsunobu reaction or following activation of the alcohols and substitution reactions using thiol substituted heterocycles.

[0451] Intermediates B-2 may be obtained by reduction of the corresponding ketones B-5 that are accessible from aryl halides B-4 following metallated enolate cross-coupling reactions and subsequent hydrolysis of the enol ethers. Ester containing nitroarene B-6 can be reduced to the amino arenes which can be acylated with acids A-l. The intermediate esters can lead to ketones B-5 as well under standard conditions, for example using Weinreb amide chemistries. Scheme C

[0452] Another approach to amides B-3 is shown in scheme C. Enantioenriched nitro aryl alcohols C-l may be reduced to the corresponding amines that can be acylated with acids A-l to the corresponding amides C-2. Thioether formation can be carried under conditions such as the Mitsunobu reaction to yield amides B-3.

Scheme D

[0453] An approach to methylene -linked amides is shown in Scheme D. A 3-acetyl substituted amino aryl compound D-l can be acylated with aryl carboxylic acids A-l under standard conditions. The obtained methyl ketones can be halogenated under standard conditions to provide halomethyl ketones D-2. Subsequent displacement reactions on the halomethyl ketone using suitable heterocycles such as pyrazoles, triazoles, imidazole, tetrazoles, etc., followed by conversion of the ketone to an olefin (using, e.g., the Wittig reaction; see Example 216, step 4) and its subsequent reduction (e.g., by hydrogenation over Pd; see Example 216, step 5) leads to the formation of amides D-3.

Scheme E

[0454] Thioether containing amines E-3 may be synthesized as depicted in scheme E. Nitro- aryl ketones E- 1 can be reduced to the corresponding alcohols E-2 that can be utilized to prepare thioethers by reaction with thiol-containing heterocycles under thioether formation conditions such as the Mitsunobu reaction. The amines E-3 can be obtained following the reduction of the nitro group under standard conditions. In a related manner, nitro-aryl ketones E-l can be reduced in an enantioenriched fashion using common methodology such as the Corey -Bakshi-Shibata (CBS) reagent. The enantioenriched alcohols E-2a may be elaborated in a similar manner to the corresponding thioethers E-3a using the same conditions as for amines B-3.

[0455] Appropriately protected amino arenes substituted with an acyl group (E-4) can be reduced under standard conditions to the corresponding alcohols E-5 followed by thioether formation under for example Mitsunobu conditions using appropriately functionalized heterocycles. The protecting groups (P) can be removed to yield the amino arene intermediates E-3. Intermediates E-5 also can be subjected to enzymatic kinetic resolution to provide enantioenriched alcohols E-5a that can be converted to the corresponding thioethers and subjected to standard deprotection conditions leading to the formation of enantioenriched amino arenes E-3a. Intermediates E-5 also can be synthesized from aldehydes E-6 by addition of an organometallic reagent such as a Grignard or organo-lithium reagent. Scheme F

[0456] Methylene linked anilines such as F-2 can be synthesized as outlined in scheme F. Ketone E-l can be elaborated to the corresponding olefin by using commonly used reagents such as a phosphonium ylide (such as in the Wittig reaction). Esters F-l may be used as functional groups suitable for conversion to heterocycles under standard conditions such as depicted in schemes U - AC. Amino arenes F-2 then can be formed by subsequent reduction of the nitro group under standard conditions.

[0457] Cinnamic acids functionalized with chiral auxiliaries (F-3) may be used to synthesize enantioenriched intermediates F-4. Conversion of the amides to heterocyclic derivatives under standard conditions as depicted in schemes U - AC followed by nitro-reduction can lead to enantioenriched amines F-2a.

[0458] Appropriately protected amino arenes E-4 also can be elaborated to esters F-5 using reagents such as the phosphonium ylides (for example Wittig reaction) followed by standard olefin reducing conditions. Esters F-5 can be used to form heterocycles as depicted in schemes U - AC followed by nitro reduction to yield amino arene intermediates F-2.

G-1

[0459] 2-Hydroxyanilines halogenated in the 5-position (G-l) can be acylated under standard conditions followed by nitration in the 6-position. Subsequent ring closure under dehydration conditions to form the corresponding benzisoxazole, followed by ketone installation using methods such as transition metal mediated reactions employing vinyl ether reagents, leads to the formation of ketones G-2 following enol ether hydrolysis. Ketone reduction to the secondary alcohol using standard conditions followed by thioether formation using thiol-containing heterocycles under conditions such as the Mitsunobu reaction or alcohol activation via sulfonylation leads to the anilines G-3 following reduction of the nitro group.

Scheme H

[0460] Cyclobutyl containing aniline H-4 can be accessed via reduction of D-keto esters H-l to the corresponding l,3-diols using standard conditions followed by bis-activation of the primary and secondary alcohols to, for example, the corresponding primary and secondary halides. Reaction with malonates H-2 leads to the cyclobutanes H-3 via cyclization. Mono hydrolysis and concomitant decarboxylation leads to esters that can be readily elaborated to heterocycles H-4 as depicted in schemes U - AC following the reduction of the nitro-group under standard conditions.

Scheme I

[0461] The synthesis of cyclopropane -substituted aniline 1-4 can be carried out by cyclopropanation of 3 -vinyl nitro benzene 1-1 using diazoacetates 1-2 under standard conditions to produce the corresponding cyclopropanes as racemic mixtures of geometrical isomers.

Following separation of these geometrical isomers, esters 1-3 may be converted to heterocycles as depicted in schemes U - AC followed by reduction of the nitro group under standard conditions.

Scheme J

[0462] Bis-amides as exemplified by J-3 can be synthesized from intermediates A-2 by two different approaches. In the first approach, amine A-2 can be acylated using pyridine acid esters J-l followed by hydrolysis of the ester to yield carboxylic acid intermediates J-2. A second acylation step with primary or secondary amines followed by an optional deprotection reaction leads to bis-amide analogs J-3. The second approach elaborates 4-halo pyridines substituted with esters in the 2-position of the pyridine (J-4) to the corresponding vinyl derivatives J-5 using standard methods such as transition metal mediated cross couplings. Subsequently, the vinyl group of J-5 is converted to the corresponding carboxylic acid J-6 under standard conditions which can be elaborated to the corresponding amides J-7. The ester group of J-7 can be used directly as a functional group to be converted to the corresponding amide J-3 using amine A-2 under standard conditions such as the use of trimethyl aluminum.

Scheme K

[0463] Pyridine-2-esters with a leaving group in the 4-position of the pyridine ring (J-4) may be used to acylate amines A-2 directly using activating reagents such as trimethyl aluminum to provide amides K-l. Conversion of the activated pyridine K-l to the corresponding amine- substituted product K-2 can be carried out directly with amines at elevated temperature. Scheme L

[0464] A 3 -acyl substituent aryl bromide L-l or the corresponding secondary alcohol L-2 may be used as a reagent in an arylation reaction to derivatize lactam L-3 under standard conditions. Following reduction of the ketone to the secondary alcohol (in cases where L-l was used as a starting material), and thioether formation under conditions such as the Mitsunobu reaction, final products L-4 are obtained that optionally can be derivatized further.

[0465] Analogs L-4 also can be obtained from appropriately functionalized intermediates, such as halogenated arenes L-5 that can be reacted with lactams L-3 and optional subsequent derivatization. Appropriately functionalized aryl aldehydes L-6 also can be used to arylate lactams L-3 followed by nucleophilic addition to the aldehyde and subsequent reaction of the intermediate secondary alcohol to the targets L-4 under conditions such as the Mitsunobu reaction.

Scheme L’

[0466] Lactam analogs such as L-8 may be obtained by elaborating ketones L-l to esters L-7 under conditions such as the Wittig reaction. Appropriately functionalized aryls L-7 can be utilized to arylate lactams L-3 under standard conditions such as transition metal mediated reactions. Reduction of the produced olefin leads to intermediates that can be advanced as depicted in schemes U - AC to heterocycle-containing targets M-2. Scheme M

[0467] Lactam analogs L-4 also can be prepared by reacting amino arenes M- 1 with aryl esters containing a suitably functionalized ortho-methyl substituent such as a halomethyl group. The obtained lactams may optionally be further derivatized to yield targets L-4.

[0468] Various methods for connecting rings B and C also are described as follows.

Scheme N

[0469] Heterocyclic intermediates featuring a gem-dimethyl moiety can be accessed from the readily available aryl propionic esters or acids applying chemistry as outlined in the schemes U - AC below.

Scheme O

[0470] Heterocyclic intermediates featuring a cyclopropane moiety can be accessed from the readily available aryl acetic esters applying standard chemistry to introduce a cyclopropane moiety by alkylation using reagents such as l,2-dibromoethane. Standard chemistry, such as the Amdt-Eistert homologation followed by conversion of the ester to heterocycles as outlined in schemes U - AC below, can be applied to extend the ester moiety by a CH2-group.

Scheme P

[0471] Heterocyclic intermediates featuring an oxetane moiety can be accessed by reaction of readily available aryl boronic acids with appropriate functional groups such as halogens and 2- (oxetan-3-ylidene)acetic esters under conditions of the Hayashi reaction. Subsequent derivatization of the aryl halides for example under transition metal -mediated conditions allows access to the corresponding amides or lactams that can be further elaborated to heterocycles as outlined in schemes U - AC below.

Scheme Q

[0472] Certain targets featuring fluorination can be accessed, for example from nitro- substituted benzyl halides by reaction with dithiane acetic esters, to obtain the corresponding aryl propionic esters. Hydrolysis of the dithiane under standard conditions leads to the corresponding a-keto-esters that can be reduced to the amino substituted intermediate containing a secondary alcohol. Amine acylation followed by conversion of the alcohol to the corresponding fluoride leads to the target analogs.

Scheme R

[0473] Other heterocyclic targets featuring fluorination can be accessed directly from the alpha-keto-esters that can be converted to heterocycles as outlined in schemes U - AC below. Subsequent conversion of the carbonyl group to the gem-difluoride moiety followed by nitro reduction and acylation provides the desired fluorinated analogs.

Scheme S

[0474] Other heterocyclic targets featuring fluorination can be accessed, for example by addition of acetates to nitro-aryl ketones under Claisen condensation conditions. The esters can be converted to heterocycles as outlined in schemes U - AC below. Nitro reduction followed by acylation and conversion of the tertiary alcohol to the corresponding fluoride yields the desired fluorinated analogs. Scheme T

[0475] Other heterocyclic targets featuring fluorination can be accessed, for example by reaction of nitro-aryl ketones with bromo-di fluoro acetates under halogen-metal exchange conditions, to yield the corresponding tertiary alcohols. Subsequent conversion of the esters to heterocycles as outlined in schemes U - AC below followed by nitro reduction leads to amino aryl intermediates. Acylation of said amines followed by conversion of the tertiary alcohol to the corresponding fluoride leads to the trifluoro analogs.

[0476] Formation of the heterocycles in the compounds, such as in Ring B, can be carried out as described below.

Scheme U :

[0477] Heterocyclic analogs linked via one of their heteroatoms can be obtained by reaction of the heterocycles with halomethyl ketones 1-2, followed by subsequent conversion of the carbonyl group to the corresponding olefins under conditions such as the Wittig reaction and hydrogenation of the tis obtained olefins to the final targets. Scheme U’: Substituted 1,2, 3 -triazoles

[0478] Analogs featuring a 5-substiuted 1,2, 3-triazole moiety U-8 can be synthesized by reacting sodium azide with nitroarenes U-5 substituted with an ethyl group functionalized with a leaving group such as a halide or sulfonate. The thus-obtained azido intermediates U-6 can be elaborated to substituted triazoles U-7 that can be advanced to the final analogs U-8 following nitro reduction under standard conditions (such as Palladium on carbon in a hydrogen atmosphere) and acylation using for example acids A- 1.

Scheme V

[0479] 1,2,4 -Triazole-containing analogs V-5 can be accessed from the corresponding acyl precursors through alternate routes. Amides V-l or esters V-2 can be converted directly to the corresponding amides V-3 that can be converted to the N-((dimethylamino)methylene)amides V- 4. Reaction of V-4 with hydrazine allows access to 1,2, 4-triazole analogs V-5. Amides V-l or esters V-2 also can be converted to hydrazides V-6 that may be elaborated to an N,N- dimethylformohydrazonamide V-7 and subsequently cyclized using primary amines.

Alternatively, hydrazides V-6 may be converted to the corresponding 4-methyl- 1,2, 4-triazole-3- thiol V-10 by use of methyl isothiocyanate that can be desulfurized to the 4-methyl- 1,2, 4-triazole V-5 under a variety of conditions such as using NaNCF/HNCf or hydrogen peroxide. In a third method, carboxylic acid V-8 can be condensed to thiosemicarbazide V-9, which will cyclize under basic conditions to form 4-methyl- 1, 2, 4-triazole-3 -thiol V-10.

Scheme W

[0480] 3,4 -Disubstituted pyrazoles W-6 can be synthesized from esters V-2 or acids V-l by elaboration to the corresponding b-keto esters W-l using approaches such as acylation of mono alkyl malonates followed by decarboxylation. Conversion to the 2-((dimethylamino)methylene)- 3-oxobutanoate W-2 allows for the cyclization to the ester substituted pyrazoles W-3 using mono-protected hydrazine derivatives. Final compounds can be obtained by reduction of the ester to the corresponding hydroxymethyl (W -4) or methyl pyrazoles (W -5) and subsequent deprotection.

Scheme X

X-4

[0481] 4,5 -Disubstituted imidazole analogs X-4 can be accessed through conversions of a,b- unsaturated esters X-l to acid chlorides X-2 that can be elaborated to the 1, 2-diketones X-3 using vinyl ethers under transition metal-mediated conditions followed by hydrolysis. The 1,2- diketones can be advanced to the final compounds X-4 by condensation with reagents such as ammonium acetate and formaldehyde. Scheme Y

[0482] 2-substituted imidazoles Y-2 can be obtained from protected aldehydes Y-l that can be elaborated under condensation conditions with reagents such as ammonia and glyoxal. Subsequent exposure of imidazoles Y-2 to alkylating reagents such as iodomethane or dimethyl sulfate will provide methylimidazole analogs Y -3.

Scheme Z

[0483] 3,4 -Disubstituted isoxazoles Z-5 can be synthesized from esters V-2 that can be reduced to the corresponding aldehydes Z-l. Elaboration of the aldehydes to the oxime derivatives Z-2 followed by oxidation with reagents such as N-chlorosuccinimde (NCS) enables a [3+2] cycloaddition with reagents such as dimethylamino acrylates to provide isoxazoles Z-3 that can be reduced to the corresponding methyl analogs Z-5 via the hydroxymethyl derivatives

Z-4.

Scheme AA

[0484] Regio-isomeric 4,5-disubstituted isoxazoles AA-3 may be synthesized from 2- ((dimethylamino)methylene)-3-oxobutanoate W-2 and cyclization to the isoxazole AA-l using reagents such as hydroxylamine. Reduction of the ester moiety to the corresponding methyl derivative AA-3 can be carried out via the hydroxymethyl analog AA-2. Scheme AB

[0523] Provided are methods for the preparation and processing of immune cells produced (e.g., modified immune cells) and used in the methods herein. As used herein, the term “modified immune cells” refers to immune cells or a cell population comprising the immune cells which have been cultured, incubated and/or have been contacted with an effective amount of a Cbl-b inhibitor to modulate the activity of said immune cells. In some embodiments, the modified immune cells can be used for immunotherapy, such as in connection with adoptive immunotherapy methods.

Samples

[0524] In some embodiments, the immune cells to be modified or cell populations comprising the immune cells to be modified are isolated from a sample, such as a biological sample, e.g., one obtained from or derived from an individual (e.g., a human). In some embodiments, the individual from which the immune cell is isolated is one having a particular disease or condition (e.g. , cancer) or in need of a cell therapy or to which cell therapy will be administered. The individual in some embodiments is a human in need of a particular therapeutic intervention, such as the adoptive cell therapy for which immune cells are being isolated, processed, and/or modified. Accordingly, the cells isolated from the individual in some embodiments are primary cells (e.g., primary human cells). As used herein, the term“primary cells” refers to cells isolated directly from mammal biological fluid or tissue (e.g., human biological fluid or tissue).

[0525] In some embodiments, the immune cells to be modified are hematopoietic cells, multipotent stem cells, myeloid progenitor cells, lymphoid progenitor cells, T-cells, B cells, and/or NK cells. As used herein, the term“hematopoietic cells” includes hematopoietic stem cells and hematopoietic progenitor cells. In some embodiments, the immune cells to be modified are present in a heterogeneous cell population or a composition comprising a heterogeneous cell population. For example, the immune cells to be modified may be hematopoietic cells present in a heterogeneous cell population comprising cells such as differentiated cells derived from a tissue or organ. In some embodiments, the immune cells to be modified are present in a homogenous cell population or a composition comprising a homogenous cell population. For example, the immune cells to be modified may be hematopoietic cells present in a homogenous cell population comprising only hematopoietic cells. In some embodiments, the immune cells to be modified or cell populations comprising the immune cells to be modified include one or more subsets of immune cells. For example, one or more subsets of T cells or other cell types, such as whole T cell populations, CD4+ cells, CD8+ cells and subpopulations thereof, such as those defined by function, activation state, maturity, potential for differentiation, expansion, localization, persistence capacities, surface marker profile, cytokine secretion profile, and/or degree of differentiation.

[0526] In some embodiments, biological samples described herein includes tissue, fluid, and other samples taken directly from the individual, as well as samples resulting from one or more processing steps, such as separation, centrifugation, genetic engineering (e.g., transduction with a viral vector encoding a recombinant chimeric receptor), washing, and/or incubation. The biological sample can be a sample obtained directly from a biological source or a sample that is processed. Biological samples include, but are not limited to, body fluids, such as blood, plasma, serum, cerebrospinal fluid, synovial fluid, urine and sweat, tissue and organ samples (e.g., sample from a tissue or organ containing a tumor), including processed samples derived therefrom. In some embodiments, the biological sample is a biological fluid sample or a biological tissue sample. In some embodiments, the biological sample is a biological tissue sample.

[0527] In some aspects, the biological sample from which the immune cells are derived or isolated is blood or a blood-derived sample, or is derived from an apheresis or leukapheresis product.

[0528] Exemplary biological samples include whole blood, peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs), leukocytes, bone marrow, thymus, tissue biopsy, tumor, leukemia, lymphoma, lymph node, gut associated lymphoid tissue, mucosa associated lymphoid tissue, spleen, other lymphoid tissues, liver, lung, stomach, intestine, colon, kidney, pancreas, breast, bone, prostate, cervix, testes, ovaries, tonsil, or other organ, and/or cells derived therefrom. Biological samples include, in the context of cell therapy (e.g., adoptive cell therapy) samples from autologous sources (i.e.. obtained from or derived from the individual in need of cell therapy) and allogeneic sources (i.e. , obtained from or derived from an individual or source other than the individual in need of cell therapy).

[0529] In some embodiments, the immune cells to be modified or a cell population comprising the immune cells to be modified are derived from a cell line (e.g., a T-cell line, a B cell line, a NK cell line, etc.). In some embodiments, the immune cells to be modified or a cell population comprising the immune cells to be modified are obtained from a xenogeneic source, such as from mouse, rat, non-human primate, or pig.

Cell Processing and Separation

[0530] In some embodiments, isolation of the immune cells to be modified includes one or more preparation and/or cell separation steps. The one or more cell separation steps can be non- affinity based separation or affinity based separation. As an example, non-affinity based separation can be centrifugation of a composition comprising the immune cells to be modified.

In some embodiments, the non-affinity based separation methods include density-based cell separation methods, such as the preparation of white blood cells from peripheral blood by lysing the red blood cells and centrifugation through a Percoll or Ficoll gradient. Affinity based separation methods can include contacting a composition comprising the immune cells to be modified with antibody coated beads. Antibody coated beads contemplated herein include, but are not limited to, magnetic beads (e.g., Dynabeads® or MACS® microbeads) coated with an antibody that binds to a marker expressed on the surface of the immune cell to be modified. In some embodiments, specific subpopulations of T cells, such as cells positive or expressing high levels of one or more surface markers, e.g., CD4+, CD8+, etc., are isolated by positive or negative selection techniques. Positive selection can be based on a technique in which the target cells (e.g., immune cells to be modified) have bound to a reagent and are retained for further use. For example, T-cells that are CD3+ can be positively selected using magnetic beads conjugated to anti-CD3 antibodies (e.g., MACS® CD3 human microbeads). Negative selection can be based on a technique in which the targets cells (e.g., immune cells to be modified) that have not bound to a reagent are retained. For example, total human primary T-cells can be isolated from peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PMBCs) utilizing negative selection, wherein a cocktail of antibodies against surface markers CD14, CD15, CD16, CD19, CD34, CD36, CD56, CD123 and CD235a are incubated in a sample comprising the PBMCs before passing the sample by magnetic beads for removal of cells expressing those surface markers and retaining the remaining cells in the sample for subsequent processing. In some embodiments, the immune cells or a cell population comprising the immune cells to be modified are washed, centrifuged, and/or incubated in the presence of one or more reagents, for example, to remove unwanted components, enrich for desired components, lyse or remove cells sensitive to particular reagents. In some examples, the immune cells are separated based on one or more property, such as density, adherent properties, size, sensitivity and/or resistance to particular components. Cell separation steps do not require 100% enrichment or removal of particular cells. In some embodiments, positive selection of or enrichment for immune cells of a particular type (e.g., CD4+ T cells) refers to increasing the number or percentage of such cells. In some embodiments, removal, or depletion of cells of a particular type that are not of interest such as by negative selection, refers to decreasing the number or percentage of such cells.

[0531] In some embodiments, immune cells or a cell population comprising the immune cells are obtained from the circulating blood of an individual, e.g., by apheresis or leukapheresis. In some aspects, a sample comprising the immune cells to be modified contain lymphocytes, including T-cells, monocytes, granulocytes, B cells, other nucleated white blood cells, red blood cells, and/or platelets, and in some aspects contains cells other than red blood cells and platelets.

[0532] In some embodiments, the blood cells collected from the individual are washed such as to remove the plasma fraction and to place the cell population comprising the immune cells to be modified in an appropriate buffer or media for subsequent processing steps. In some embodiments, the cell population comprising the immune cells to be modified is washed with phosphate buffered saline. In some embodiments, the wash solution lacks calcium and/or magnesium. In some aspects, a washing step is accomplished by a semi-automated“flow- through” centrifuge. In some aspects, a washing step is accomplished by tangential flow filtration. In some embodiments, the immune cells to be modified or cell population containing the immune cells to be modified are resuspended in a variety of suitable buffers after washing, such as, for example, calcium and/or magnesium free phosphate buffered saline. In some embodiments, components of a blood cell sample are removed and the immune cells to be modified or a cell population comprising the immune cells to be modified are directly resuspended in a suitable cell culture medium.

[0533] Representative methods for processing and/or separation of immune cells such as hematopoietic cells from samples containing a cell population containing said hematopoietic cells (e.g. , samples comprising peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs)) are described in Biological Example 2 and Biological Example 3 herein. Methods and techniques for the processing and/or separation of immune cells such as hematopoietic cells, multipotent stem cells, myeloid progenitor cells, lymphoid progenitor cells, T-cells, B cells, and/or NK cells are well known in the art. See for example, U.S. Patent Application No. 2017/0037369; U.S. Patent Application No. 2012/0148553; U.S. Patent No. 6,461,645; U.S. Patent No. 6,352,694; and U.S. Patent No. 7,776,562. Incubation and Treatment

[0534] Provided herein are methods for modulating the activity of an immune cell, such as the processed and/or separated immune cells described above by contacting the immune cell with an effective amount of a Cbl-b inhibitor described herein. Also provided herein are modified immune cells produced by any of the methods described herein such as by culturing a cell population containing an immune cell (e.g., the processed and/or separated immune cells described above) in the presence of an effective amount of a Cbl-b inhibitor to modulate the activity of the immune cell and thereby produce the modified immune cell.

[0535] In some embodiments, the immune cells to be modified (e.g. , the processed and/or separated immune cells described above) are incubated and/or cultured in a suitable culture medium prior to contacting said immune cells with a Cbl-b inhibitor provided herein. In some embodiments, the immune cells to be modified are incubated and/or cultured in a suitable culture medium simultaneously to contacting said immune cells with a Cbl-b inhibitor provided herein.

[0536] The processed and/or separated immune cells to be modified or cell population comprising the immune cells to be modified can be differentiated and/or expanded in vitro. In some embodiments, the immune cells to be modified are hematopoietic cells, multipotent stem cells, myeloid progenitor cells, lymphoid progenitor cells, T-cells, B cells, and/or NK cells. In some embodiments, the immune cell to be modified is incubated in a suitable cell culture medium comprising a Cbl-b inhibitor described herein before differentiation and/or expansion of the immune cell. In some embodiments, the immune cell to be modified is incubated in a suitable cell culture medium comprising a Cbl-b inhibitor described herein after differentiation and/or expansion of the immune cell. The immune cells become modified (i.e., modified immune cells) upon contact with a Cbl-b inhibitor provided herein in an effective amount to modulate the activity of said immune cells. In some embodiments, the immune cell to be modified is not differentiated and/or expanded in vitro and is therefore the same cell type as the modified immune cell that has been contacted with a Cbl-b inhibitor. For example, a T-cell can be incubated in a suitable medium comprising a Cbl-b inhibitor without differentiation of the T- cell. In some embodiments, the immune cell to be modified is differentiated and/or expanded in vitro and is therefore a different cell type as the modified immune cell that has been contacted with a Cbl-b inhibitor. For example, a hematopoietic cell can be incubated in a suitable medium comprising a Cbl-b inhibitor as well as other agents that drive differentiation of the

hematopoietic cell into a T-cell. Accordingly, in some aspects of the embodiments herein, the modified immune cells are hematopoietic cells, multipotent stem cells, myeloid progenitor cells, lymphoid progenitor cells, T-cells, B cells, and/or NK cells. Methods for expansion and/or differentiation of immune cells are well known in the art. See, for example, International Patent Application No. WO2017037083.

[0537] An effective amount of a Cbl-b inhibitor is the amount or concentration of the Cbl-b inhibitor that is sufficient to modulate the activity of the immune cell as compared to a reference sample. The reference sample may be immune cells that have not been contacted with the Cbl-b inhibitor. In some embodiments, the concentration of a Cbl-b inhibitor added to a composition (e.g., cell culture medium) comprising the immune cells to be modified is from about 1 pM to about 100 mM, about 5 pM to about 100 pM, about 10 pM to about 100 pM, about 20 pM to about 100 pM, about 40 pM to about 100 pM, about 60 pM to about 100 pM, about 80 pM to about 100 pM, about 1 nM to about 100 pM, about 3 nM to about 100 pM, about 10 nM to about 100 pM, about 15 nM to about 100 pM, about 20 nM to about 100 pM, about 40 nM to about 100 pM, about 60 nM to about 100 pM, about 80 nM to about 100 pM, about 0.1 pM to about 100 pM, about 0.1 pM to about 90 pM, about 0.1 pM to about 80 pM, about 0.1 pM to about 70 pM, about 0.1 pM to about 60 pM, about 0.1 pM to about 50 pM, about 0.1 pM to about 40 pM, about 0.1 pM to about 30 pM, about 0.1 pM to about 20 pM, about 0.1 pM to about 10 pM, about 0.2 pM to about 10 pM, or about 0.3 pM to about 8 pM. In some embodiments, the concentration of a Cbl-b inhibitor added to a composition (e.g., cell culture medium) comprising the immune cells to be modified is about 1 pM, about 2 pM, about 3 pM, about 4 pM, about 5 pM, about 10 pM, about 20 pM, about 30 pM, about 40 pM, about 50 pM, about 60 pM, about 70 pM, about 80 pM, about 90 pM, about 1 nM, about 3 nM, about 5 nM, about 10 nM, about 20 nM, about 40 nM, about 50 nM, about 80 nM, about 0.1 pM, about 0.2 pM, about 0.3 pM, about 0.4 pM, about 0.5 pM, about 1 pM, about 5 pM, about 10 pM, about 15 pM, about 20 pM, about 25 pM, about 30 pM, about 40 pM, about 50 pM, about 60 pM, about 70 pM, about 80 pM, about 90 pM, or about 100 pM. In some embodiments, the concentration of a Cbl-b inhibitor added to a composition (e.g., cell culture medium) comprising the immune cells to be modified is about 0.3 pM, about 1 pM, or about 4 pM. In some embodiments, the concentration of a Cbl-b inhibitor added to a composition (e.g., cell culture medium) comprising the immune cells to be modified is about 1 pM or about 8 pM.

[0538] The effective amount of a Cbl-b inhibitor is in contact with the immune cells for a sufficient time to modulate the activity of the immune cell as compared to a reference sample. The reference sample may be immune cells that have not been contacted with the Cbl-b inhibitor but are incubated for the same length of time as the composition (e.g., cell culture medium) comprising the immune cells and the Cbl-b inhibitor. In some embodiments, the Cbl-b inhibitor is in contact and/or is incubated with the immune cells from about 1 minute to about 1 hour, about 5 minutes to about 1 hour, about 10 minutes to about 1 hour, about 15 minutes to about 1 hour, about 20 minutes to about 1 hour, about 30 minutes to about 1 hour, about 45 minutes to about 1 hour, about 1 hour to about 2 hours, about 1 hour to about 4 hours, about 1 hour to about 6 hours, about 1 hour to about 8 hours, about 1 hour to about 12 hours, about 1 hour to about 24 hours, about 2 hours to about 24 hours, about 6 hours to about 7 hours, about 6 hours to about 24 hours, about 8 hours to about 24 hours, about 10 hours to about 24 hours, about 15 hours to about 24 hours, about 20 hours to about 24 hours, about 12 hours to about 48 hours, about 24 hours to about 48 hours, or about 36 hours to about 48 hours. In some embodiments, the Cbl-b inhibitor is in contact and/or is incubated with the immune cells from about 1 day to about 7 days, about 2 days to about 7 days, about 3 days to about 7 days, about 4 days to about 7 days, about 5 days to about 7 days, or about 6 days to about 7 days. In some embodiments, the Cbl-b inhibitor is in contact and/or is incubated with the immune cells for about 1 minute, about 5 minutes, about 10 minutes, about 15 minutes, about 20 minutes, about 30 minutes, about 40 minutes, about 50 minutes, about 1 hour, about 2 hours, about 3 hours, about 4 hours, about 5 hours, about 6 hours, about 7 hours, about 8 hours, about 9 hours, about 10 hours, about 12 hours, about 14 hours, about 16 hours, about 18 hours, about 20 hours, about 22 hours, or about 24 hours. In some embodiments, the Cbl-b inhibitor is in contact and/or is incubated with the immune cells for about 1 day, about 2 days, about 3 days, about 4 days, about 5 days, about 6 days or about 7 days.

[0539] In some embodiments, the immune cells or a cell population comprising the immune cells are incubated under a suitable condition to induce proliferation, expansion, activation, and/or survival of the immune cells. Suitable conditions during incubation include, but are not limited to, use of one or more medium (e.g., cell culture medium), temperature, incubation time, the presence of a stimulating agent (e.g., anti-CD3 and/or anti-CD28 antibody), and present of any other beneficial agents or factors such as cytokines, chemokines, and/or recombinant soluble receptors.

[0540] In some embodiments, a suitable condition to induce proliferation, expansion, activation, and/or survival of the immune cells includes the provision of stimulating conditions or agents, which is capable of activating the immune cell (e.g. , NK cell). For example, a suitable condition to induce proliferation, expansion, activation, and/or survival of a T-cell includes the provision of stimulating conditions or agents, which are capable of activating intracellular signaling in the T-cell. Full activation of T-cells generally requires the recognition of antigen by the T-cell receptor, referred to herein as“TCR” (signal one) as well as recognition of costimulators such as CD28 (signal two). In some aspects, one or more agent turns on or initiates a TCR complex mediated intracellular signaling cascade in a T-cell. For example, a first agent can bind to a component of the TCR complex in order to activate the T-cell and a second agent can bind to a costimulatory molecule on the surface of the T-cell to thereby stimulate the activated T-cell. In some embodiments, the first agent stimulated a TCR/CD3 complex- associated signal in the T-cell by specifically binding to CD3 (e.g., an anti-CD3 antibody). In a further embodiment, the co-stimulatory molecule on the surface of the T-cell may be CD28 and the second agent specifically binds to CD28 (e.g., anti-CD28 antibody). Such agents include, but are not limited to, antibodies, divalent antibody fragments, and binding molecules such as those specific for a TCR complex component (e.g., anti-CD3 antibody) and/or those specific for costimulatory receptor (e.g., anti-CD28 antibody). In some embodiments, an agent that specifically binds to CD3 is an anti-CD3 antibody, a divalent antibody fragment of an anti-CD3 antibody (e.g., (Fab)2’ fragment or a divalent scFv fragment), a monovalent antibody fragment of an anti-CD3 antibody (e.g., a Fab fragment, a Fv fragment, or a scFv fragment), or a CD3 binding molecule (e.g., an aptamer). In some embodiments, an agent that specifically binds to CD28 is an anti-CD28 antibody, a divalent antibody fragment of an anti-CD28 antibody (e.g., (Fab)2’ fragment or a divalent scFv fragment), a monovalent antibody fragment of an anti-CD28 antibody (e.g., a Fab fragment, a Fv fragment, or a scFv fragment), and a CD28 binding molecule (e.g., an aptamer). The one or more agents provided herein (e.g., anti-CD3 antibody and anti- CD28 antibody) for example, can be bound to a solid support such as a bead. In some embodiments, the expansion method step may further comprise the step of adding anti-CD3 antibody and/or anti-CD28 antibody to the culture medium. In some embodiments, the stimulating agents added to the cell culture medium include one or more cytokines such as, but not limited to, IL-2 and/or IL-15. For example, IL-2 can be added at a concentration of at least about 10 units/mL to a cell culture medium comprising the immune cells and agents such as anti- CD3 antibodies and/or anti-CD28 antibodies.

[0541] In some embodiments, a suitable condition to induce proliferation, expansion, activation, and/or survival of a T-cell includes the provision of stimulating conditions or agents which are capable of activating intracellular signaling through the T-cell receptor (TCR) complex, and a Cbl-b inhibitor as described herein. In some embodiments, the immune cells or a cell population comprising the immune cells are incubated with a first agent that stimulates a TCR/CD3 complex-associated signal in the T cell by specifically binding to CD3 (e.g., an anti- CD3 antibody). In a further embodiment, the immune cells or a cell population comprising the immune cells are incubated with a first agent that stimulates a TCR/CD3 complex-associated signal in the T cell by specifically binding to CD3 (e.g., an anti-CD3 antibody), with a second agent that binds to the co-stimulatory molecule CD28 (e.g., an anti-CD28 antibody), and with a Cbl-b inhibitor at a concentration of about 1 pM to about 100 mM (e.g., about 0.3 pM, about 1 pM, or about 4 pM). In some embodiments a suitable condition to induce proliferation, expansion, activation, and/or survival of a T-cell when in the presence of a Cbl-b inhibitor does not require stimulation through a co-stimulatory molecule (e.g., CD28). Contacting T-cells with a Cbl-b inhibitor or a composition thereof can bypass the need for co-stimulation required for T- cells to enter into an activated state. In some such embodiments, the immune cells or a cell population comprising the immune cells are incubated with a first agent that stimulates a TCR/CD3 complex-associated signal in the T-cell by specifically binding to CD3 (e.g., an anti- CD3 antibody) and with a Cbl-b inhibitor at a concentration of about 0.1 mM to about 50 mM (e.g., about 1 pM or about 8 pM).

[0542] In some embodiments of the methods for modulating activity of an immune cell, the immune cell is a T-cell and modulating activity of the T-cell comprises increased T-cell activation and/or increased T-cell proliferation. T-cells contemplated in embodiments herein may be in a tolerant state even in the presence of an activating agent that binds to a component of the TCR complex, such as an anti-CD3 antibody, as well as in the presence of a stimulating agent that binds a co-stimulatory molecule, such as an anti-CD28 antibody. In some embodiments, the method of modulating activity of a T-cell comprises contacting the T-cell with an effective amount of a Cbl-b inhibitor or a composition thereof in the presence of an anti-CD3 antibody in combination with an anti-CD28 antibody. In some embodiments, the method of modulating activity of a T-cell comprises contacting the T-cell with an effective amount of a Cbl-b inhibitor or a composition thereof, wherein the T-cell previously has been in contact with an anti-CD3 antibody in combination with an anti-CD28 antibody. In some embodiments, stimulation via the co-stimulatory CD28 molecule is not required for modulating the activity of the T-cell (e.g. , increasing T-cell activation and/or increasing T-cell proliferation). In some embodiments, the method of modulating activity of a T-cell comprises contacting the T-cell with an effective amount of a Cbl-b inhibitor or a composition thereof in the presence of an anti-CD3 antibody alone. In some embodiments, the method of modulating activity of a T-cell comprises contacting the T-cell with an effective amount of a Cbl-b inhibitor or a composition thereof, wherein the T- cell has previously been in contact with one or more agents that activate the T-cell (e.g., an anti- CD3 antibody), wherein said agents do not include an agent that stimulates the CD28 co stimulatory molecule (e.g., an anti-CD28 antibody).

[0543] In some embodiments, the immune cell is a T-cell and modulating activity of the T- cell comprises enhanced T-cell activation and/or enhanced T-cell proliferation. For example, T- cells contemplated in embodiments herein may be in an activated state such as when in the presence of agents that activate the T-cells (e.g., anti-CD3 antibody), and in some further embodiments, in the presence of agents that stimulate the T-cells (e.g, anti-CD28 antibody).

Contacting T-cells with a Cbl-b inhibitor or composition thereof can lower the threshold required for activation and therefore enhance activation and/or proliferation of T-cells that are in the presence of an activating agent (e.g., an anti-CD3 antibody) and in some further embodiments, a stimulating agent (e.g., an anti-CD28 antibody). In some embodiments, the method of modulating activity of a T-cell comprises contacting the T-cell with an effective amount of a Cbl-b inhibitor or a composition thereof in the presence of an anti-CD3 antibody in combination with an anti-CD28 antibody. In some embodiments, the method of modulating activity of a T- cell comprises contacting the T-cell with an effective amount of a Cbl-b inhibitor or a composition thereof, wherein the T-cell has previously been in contact with an anti-CD3 antibody in combination with an anti-CD28 antibody. In some embodiments, stimulation via the co-stimulatory CD28 molecule is not required for modulating the activity of the T-cell (e.g. , enhancing T-cell activation and/or enhancing T-cell proliferation). In some embodiments, the method of modulating activity of a T-cell comprises contacting the T-cell with an effective amount of a Cbl-b inhibitor or a composition thereof in the presence of an anti-CD3 antibody alone. In some embodiments, the method of modulating activity of a T-cell comprises contacting the T-cell with an effective amount of a Cbl-b inhibitor or a composition thereof, wherein the T- cell has previously been in contact with one or more agents that activate the T-cell (e.g., anti- CD3 antibody).

[0544] In some embodiments, the immune cell is a T-cell and modulating activity of the T- cell comprises decreased T-cell dysfunction including decreased T-cell exhaustion, decreased T- cell tolerance, and/or decreased T-cell anergy. General principles of T-cell dysfunction are well known in the art. See Schietinger, A. et al., Trends Immunol., 35(2):5 l-60 (2014). Immune tolerance is a process that is part of the normal function of the immune system. Antigen-specific immune tolerance is characterized by a decrease in responsiveness to an antigen, which is induced by previous exposure to that antigen. When specific lymphocytes (e.g., T-cells) encounter antigens, the lymphocytes may be activated, leading to an antigen-specific immune response, or the lymphocytes (e.g., T-cells) may be inactivated or eliminated, leading instead to antigen-specific immune tolerance. In some aspects, tolerance can be caused by clonal anergy, peripheral clonal deletion, suppression of T-cells and/or other forms of antigen-specific tolerance. In some embodiments, tolerance may result from or be characterized by the induction of anergy. In some aspects, anergy can result by exposure of T-cells to an antigen in the absence of costimulation. Prolonged antigen recognition by the TCR alone, in the absence of the co stimulatory signal, may lead to anergy (i.e.. functional unresponsiveness). Anergic T cells may be refractory to subsequent antigenic challenge, and may be capable of suppressing other immune responses. Generally, in the natural setting tolerance is involved in non-reactivity or nonproductive reactivity to self-antigens. In some cases, however, tolerance to a“non-self’ antigen can be induced. Thus, in some aspects, the same mechanisms by which mature T-cells that recognize self-antigens in peripheral tissues become incapable of subsequently responding to these antigens also may regulate unresponsiveness to foreign or“non-self’ antigens such as those expressed by cancer cells. Accordingly, T-cells contemplated in embodiments herein may be in a tolerant state even in the presence of stimulatory agents such as agents that binds to a co stimulatory molecule such as CD28. Contacting T-cells with a Cbl-b inhibitor provided herein or a composition thereof can bypass aspects of T-cell dysfunction such as T-cell tolerance, T-cell anergy and/or T-cell exhaustion. In some embodiments, the method of modulating activity of a T-cell (e.g., decreasing T-cell tolerance, decreasing T-cell anergy and/or decreasing T-cell exhaustion) comprises contacting the T-cell with an effective amount of a Cbl-b inhibitor or a composition thereof. In some embodiments of the methods herein, modulating activity of a T- cell (e.g., decreasing T-cell tolerance, decreasing T-cell anergy and/or decreasing T-cell exhaustion) comprises contacting the T-cell with an effective amount of a Cbl-b inhibitor or a composition thereof in the presence of an anti-CD3 antibody in combination with an anti-CD28 antibody. In some embodiments of the methods herein, the method of modulating activity of a T-cell (e.g., decreasing T-cell tolerance, decreasing T-cell anergy and/or decreasing T-cell exhaustion) comprises contacting the T-cell with an effective amount of a Cbl-b inhibitor or a composition thereof, wherein the T-cell previously has been in contact with an anti-CD3 antibody in combination with an anti-CD28 antibody. In some embodiments, stimulation via the co-stimulatory CD28 molecule is not required for modulating the activity of the T-cell (e.g. , decreasing T-cell tolerance, decreasing T-cell anergy and/or decreasing T-cell exhaustion). In some embodiments of the methods herein, the method of modulating activity of a T-cell (e.g, decreasing T-cell tolerance, decreasing T-cell anergy and/or decreasing T-cell exhaustion) comprises contacting the T-cell with an effective amount of a Cbl-b inhibitor or a composition thereof in the presence of an anti-CD3 antibody alone. In some embodiments, the method of modulating activity of a T-cell (e.g., decreasing T-cell tolerance, decreasing T-cell anergy and/or decreasing T-cell exhaustion) comprises contacting the T-cell with an effective amount of a Cbl- b inhibitor or a composition thereof, wherein the T-cell has previously been in contact with one or more agents that activate the T-cell, such as an anti-CD3 antibody alone.

[0545] T-cell activation and T-cell tolerance are tightly controlled processes regulating the immune response.

[0551] Methods for experimentally determining increased B cell activation and NK cell activation are well known in the art. See, for example, Fauriat et ah, Blood. 115(11):2167-76, (2010); Beano et al, J. Transl. Med. 6:25, (2008); Claus et ah, J. Immunol. Methods, 341(1-2):

154-64, (2009); and Fujisaki et al., Cancer Res. 69(9): 4010-4017, (2009). In some embodiments, representative methods of determining B-cell activation can be found in Biological Example 3 provided herein. In some embodiments, representative methods of determining NK cell activation can be found in Biological Example 3 provided herein.

[0552] Modulation of activity of an immune cell, such as a T-cell, a B cell or aNK cell can be measured by determining a baseline value for a parameter of interest (e.g., cytokine secretion). For example, T-cell activation, such as in a sample obtained from in vitro experiments of cells contacted with a Cbl-b inhibitor, can be measured before contacting or administering said Cbl-b inhibitor to determine a baseline value. A reference value then is obtained for T-cell activation after contacting or administering said Cbl-b inhibitor. The reference value is compared to the baseline value in order to determine the amount of T-cell activation due to contact or

administration of the Cbl-b inhibitor or composition thereof. For example, in some

embodiments, immune cell (e.g., T-cell) activation is increased by at least 0.1 -fold in a sample as compared to a baseline value, wherein the baseline value is obtained before contacting the immune cell (e.g., T-cell) with a Cbl-b inhibitor or a composition thereof. In some embodiments, immune cell (e.g., T-cell) activation is increased by at least about O.l-fold, about 0.2-fold, about 0.3-fold, about 0.4-fold, about 0.5-fold, about 0.6-fold, about 0.7-fold, about 0.8-fold, about 0.9- fold, about l-fold, about 2-fold, about 4-fold, about 6-fold, about 8-fold, about 10-fold, about 20- fold, about 30-fold, but no more than about 50-fold over a baseline value. Immune cell activation can be assessed by measuring biological markers of activation such as increased cytokine secretion, increased cell surface expression of activation markers (e.g., cell surface markers), or increased phosphorylation of proteins in a downstream signaling pathway. The fold over baseline value that indicates immune cell activation can be determined for the parameter being tested and the conditions under which the immune cell were treated. For example, for measuring T-cell activation, a baseline value can be obtained from T-cells stimulated with anti- CD3 antibody in combination with anti-CD28 antibody, wherein the cells are not incubated with a Cbl-b inhibitor. A reference value is then obtained from T-cells stimulated with anti-CD3 antibody in combination with anti-CD28 antibody, wherein the T-cells have been or are in contact with a Cbl-b inhibitor. A positive response for immune cell activation can then be determined by the obtained reference value. Similar reference value measurements can be obtained and compared to a baseline value for assessing T-cell activation, T-cell proliferation, T- cell exhaustion, T-cell tolerance, B cell activation and/or NK cell activation. Measurements for these parameters can be obtained utilizing techniques well known in the art, as well as the techniques provided in Biological Examples 2 and 3.

[0553] The terms "baseline" or "baseline value" as used herein can refer to a measurement or characterization before administration of a therapeutic agent as disclosed herein (e.g., a composition comprising a Cbl-b inhibitor as described herein) or at the beginning of administration of the therapeutic agent. The baseline value can be compared to a reference value in order to determine the increase or decrease of an immune cell function (e.g., increasing T-cell activation, increasing T-cell proliferation, decreasing T-cell exhaustion, and/or decreasing T-cell tolerance). The terms "reference" or "reference value" as used herein can refer to a measurement or characterization after administration of the therapeutic agent as disclosed herein (e.g., a composition comprising a Cbl-b inhibitor as described herein). The reference value can be measured one or more times during an experimental time course, dosage regimen, or treatment cycle, or at the completion of the experimental time course, dosage regimen or treatment cycle.

A "reference value" can be an absolute value, a relative value, a value that has an upper and/or lower limit, a range of values, an average value, a median value, a mean value, or a value as compared to a baseline value. Similarly, a "baseline value" can be an absolute value, a relative value, a value that has an upper and/or lower limit, a range of values, an average value, a median value, a mean value, or a value as compared to a reference value. The reference value and/or baseline value can be obtained from one sample (e.g., one sample obtained from an individual), from two different samples (e.g., a sample obtained from two different individuals) or from a group of samples (e.g. , samples obtained from a group of two, three, four, five or more individuals).

[0554] In some embodiments, a positive response for T-cell activation as measured by cytokine secretion (e.g., IL-2 secretion) by T-cells stimulated with anti-CD3 antibody in combination with anti-CD28 antibody in the presence of a Cbl-b inhibitor is at least 2.5 -fold over the baseline value for cytokine secretion (e.g., IL-2 secretion) obtained from T-cells stimulated with anti-CD3 antibody in combination with anti-CD28 antibody in the absence of a Cbl-b inhibitor. In some embodiments, a positive response for T-cell activation as measured by surface marker expression (e.g., CD25 surface marker staining) by T-cells stimulated with anti-CD3 antibody in combination with anti-CD28 antibody in the presence of a Cbl-b inhibitor is at least 1.3-fold over the baseline value for surface marker expression (e.g., CD25 surface marker staining) obtained from T-cells stimulated with anti-CD3 antibody in combination with anti- CD28 antibody in the absence of a Cbl-b inhibitor. In some embodiments, a baseline value can be obtained from T-cells stimulated with anti-CD3 antibody alone, wherein the cells are not incubated with a Cbl-b inhibitor. In some embodiments, a positive response for T-cell activation as measured by cytokine secretion (e.g., IL-2 secretion) by T-cells stimulated with anti-CD3 antibody alone in the presence of a Cbl-b inhibitor is at least 0.1 -fold over the baseline value for cytokine secretion (e.g., IL-2 secretion) obtained from T-cells stimulated with anti-CD3 antibody alone in the absence of a Cbl-b inhibitor. In some embodiments, a positive response for T-cell activation as measured by surface marker expression (e.g., CD25 surface marker staining) by T- cells stimulated with anti-CD3 antibody alone in the presence of a Cbl-b inhibitor is at least 0.6- fold over the baseline value for surface marker expression (e.g., CD25 surface marker staining) obtained from T-cells stimulated with anti-CD3 antibody alone in the absence of a Cbl-b inhibitor.

[0583] In some aspects, the effectiveness of Cbl-b inhibitor administration in the treatment of a disease or disorder such as cancer is measured by assessing clinical outcome, such as reduction in tumor size or number of tumors, and/or survival.

[0584] In some embodiments, the effectiveness of Cbl-b inhibitor administration in the methods herein (e.g., method of modulating an immune response in an individual) can be assessed by measuring the biological activity immune cells present in a sample (e.g., blood sample) isolated from the treated individual. For example, the ability of immune cells isolated from the individual after treatment with a Cbl-b inhibitor to destroy target cells using a cytotoxicity assay. In some embodiments, the biological activity of immune cells present in a sample (e.g., blood sample) can be measured by assaying expression and/or secretion of certain cytokines, such as IL-2 and IFNy.

The sterile injectable preparation also may be a sterile injectable solution or suspension in a parenterally acceptable diluent or solvent, for example, as a solution in propylene glycol. Among the acceptable vehicles and solvents that may be employed are water, saline, Ringer’s solution, and isotonic sodium chloride solution. In addition, sterile, fixed oils are conventionally employed as a solvent or suspending medium. For this purpose, any bland fixed oil may be employed including synthetic mono or di-glycerides. In addition, fatty acids such as oleic acid may be used in the preparation of injectables.

[0593] Solid dosage forms for oral administration may include capsules, tablets, pills, powders, and granules. In such solid dosage forms, the active compound may be admixed with at least one inert diluent such as sucrose, lactose, talc, or starch. Such dosage forms also may comprise additional excipient substances other than inert diluents, e.g., lubricating agents such as magnesium stearate. In the case of capsules, tablets, and pills, the dosage forms also may comprise buffering agents. Tablets and pills additionally can be prepared with enteric coatings. Acceptable excipients for gel capsules with a soft shell are, for instance, plant oils, wax, fats, semisolid and liquid poly-ols, and so on.

[0594] Liquid dosage forms for oral administration may include pharmaceutically acceptable emulsions, solutions, suspensions, syrups, and elixirs containing inert diluents commonly used in the art, such as water. Such compositions also may comprise additional agents, such as wetting agents, emulsifying and suspending agents, cyclodextrins, and sweetening, flavoring, and perfuming agents. Alternatively, the compound also may be administered in neat form if suitable.

[0595] The compounds and compositions also can be administered in the form of liposomes. As is known in the art, liposomes are generally derived from phospholipids or other lipid substances. Liposomes are formed by mono or multilamellar hydrated liquid crystals that are dispersed in an aqueous medium. Any physiologically acceptable and metabolizable lipid capable of forming liposomes can be used. The present compositions in liposome form can contain stabilizers, preservatives, excipients, and the like, in addition to a compound as disclosed herein.

BIOLOGICAL EXAMPLE 1: Evaluation of Cbl-b inhibition by Cbl-b inhibitor candidates

[2894] Candidate compounds were isolated and evaluated for their ability to bind and inhibit

Cbl-b, an E3 ubiquitin-protein ligase.

Materials and Methods

Cbl-b Activity Assay (Cbl-b Inhibition Assay)

[2895] The ability of candidate compounds to inhibit Cbl-b activity was measured by monitoring the interaction of Cbl-b with UbcH5B-Ub in the presence of the candidate compound. A truncated variant of Cbl-b (UniProt number Q 13191; SEQ ID NO: 1) containing an Avitag at its N-terminus was co-expressed with BirA biotin ligase and purified using a standard protocol {see Dou et al., Nature Structural and Molecular Biology 8: 982-987, 2013; Avidity LLC).

[2897] Fluorescently labeled UbcH5B-Ub was prepared by conjugating ubiquitin (Ub), labeled at its N-terminus with Bodipy-Fluorescein, to UbcH5B, an E2 enzyme, harboring a cysteine to lysine mutation at position 85. This mutation is similar to a mutation that was previously reported ( see Dou et al, Nature Structural and Molecular Biology 8: 982-987, 2013). Cbl-b activity assays were performed in a 384-well plate at room temperature in a 10 pl reaction volume by pre-incubating 12 nM Cbl-b (final concentration) in an assay buffer containing 50 mM HEPES pH 7.0, 100 mM NaCl, 0.01% Triton X-100, 0.01% BSA and lmM DTT in the presence of a candidate compound in 1% DMSO (final concentration) for 1 hour. After incubation in the presence of the candidate compound, the plate was incubated for an additional 1.5 hours in the presence of 60 nM Src kinase with 1 mM ATP and 5 mM MgCT (final concentrations). Src kinase was prepared as previously described ( See Kobashigawa et al., PNAS 108(51): 20579-20584, 2011). Following incubation, 2 mΐ ofa mixture containing 1.5 mM fluorescently labeled UbcH5B-Ub, 15 nM Streptavidin-Terbium (Cisbio), 300 nM EDTA and 0.01% BSA was added to the reaction, wherein the EDTA quenched the activity of the Src kinase. The plate was incubated for 1 hour. Following the 1 hour incubation, the plates were read for TR-FRET signal at 520/620 nM using Envision plate reader (Perkin Elmer). The presence of a FRET signal that indicated Cbl-b was not inhibited by the compound candidate (FIG. 1A). The absence of a FRET signal indicated Cbl-b was inhibited by the compound candidate and was therefore a Cbl-b inhibitor (FIG. 1B).

Cbl-b Binding Assay

[2898] SPR data was collected on a Biacore T200 (GE Healthcare) using a NeutrAvidin (Invitrogen) capture surface that was generated on a polycarboxylate hydrogel sensor chip of medium charge density (XanTec Bioanalytics GmbH) at 20 °C. The surface was prepared using 20 mM HEPES, pH 7.5, 100 mM NaCl, 0.5 mM TCEP, 0.01% Triton X-100 as the

immobilization buffer. Neutravidin was coupled to the sensor chip through EDC/NHS amine coupling. All steps were performed using a flow rate of 10 mΐ/min. First, the chip was preconditioned with a 3 -min injection of 1 M NaCl, 0.1 M Borate followed by a lO-min equilibration in immobilization buffer. The surface was activated by a 5-min injection of 100 mM EDC/ 50 mM NHS. Next, 250 pg/mL NeutrAvidin buffered in 10 mM sodium acetate buffer, pH 5.0 was injected over the surface for 2 min. The surface was deactivated with 1 M Tris, pH 8.5 for 7 min then re-equilibrated in immobilization buffer for 7 min. 0.5 mM of N- terminal biotinylated Avi -tagged Cbl-b (residues 36-427) in immobilization buffer was captured on the NeutrAvidin surface to a density of 3500 RU. Flow cell 1 served as a reference surface and was prepared without protein. All binding measurements were made in 20 mM HEPES, pH 7.5, 100 mM NaCl, 0.5 mM TCEP, 0.01% Triton X-100, 2% DMSO (referred as assay buffer) at 20 °C. Compounds, prepared in assay buffer, were diluted from a top concentration of either 100 mM or 50 pM using either a 2- or 3-fold dilution scheme containing 8 or 10 points. Samples were injected for 50 s at 50 pl/min. Dissociation time varied from 90-180 s, depending on anticipated potency. The surface was regenerated by injection of 0.3 M NaCl, prepared in assay buffer for 20 s at 10 pl/min. Positive and negative control samples were run between each compound to monitor surface integrity.

Results

[2899] The resulting data for the Cbl-b activity assays were analyzed using standard methods to report the IC ₅₀ values of the tested compounds (Table 2). Column marked with an asterisk (*) were tested as described above with assay buffer containing 50 mM NaCl instead of 100 mM NaCl and 30 nM Src kinase instead of 60 nM Src kinase. The resulting data for the Cbl-b binding assay was solvent corrected and double referenced prior to analysis. All data were globally fit to a steady-state affinity and kinetic binding model where applicable). Fit parameters were derived from a 1 : 1 binding model using the Biacore T200 Evaluation Software V2.0 (GE Healthcare) (Table 2). Compounds were ranked into bins A through F as follows for both IC50 and K _D : A indicates < 100 nM, B indicates 100 nM -300 nM, C indicates 301 hM-1000 nM, D indicates 1,001 nM - 3,000 nM, E indicates 3,001 nM - 10,000 nM, F indicates > 10,000 nM.

Conclusions

[2900] Compounds with the ability to inhibit Cbl-b activity were identified.

BIOLOGICAL EXAMPLE 2: Evaluation of T-cell activation by Cbl-b inhibitors

[2901] Loss of Cbl-b function in both T-cells and mice by genetic knockout of the cbl-b gene results in loss of the CD28 co-stimulation requirement for T-cell activation and T-cell resistance to anergy (See Bachmaier et al., Nature, 403(6766):2l 1-216, 2000; and Jeon et al., Immunity, 21(2): 167-177, 2004). Cbl-b inhibitors described herein were evaluated for their ability to activate T-cells.

Materials and Methods

Purification and assessment of primary human total T-cell activation

[2902] Peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMC) were obtained either: 1) by using Ficoll- Paque™ (GE Healthcare) for separation of peripheral blood hematopoietic cells from buffy coats of healthy human donors; or 2) directly from LeukoPak donations. Total human primary T-cells were isolated from the PMBCs utilizing negative selection with commercial kits following the manufacturer’s protocol (Miltenyi Catalog #130-096-535 (i.e., cocktail of antibodies against surface markers CD 14, CD15, CD16, CD19, CD34, CD36, CD56, CD123 and CD235a were incubated with the PBMCs before passing the samples by magnetic beads for removal of cells expressing those surface markers) or StemCells Catalog #17951) to yield >95% CD3+ cells as assessed by flow cytometry. The cells were rested overnight at 37 °C 5% CO2. The Cbl- inhibitor was added to 1 x 10 ⁵ cells per well and the plate was incubated for one hour at 37°C in 5% CO2 at the concentrations indicated (Table 3) with a final DMSO concentration of <0.1%.

For samples stimulated with anti-CD3 antibody and anti-CD28 antibody (anti-CD3/anti-CD28), the Cbl-b inhibitor concentrations tested were 4 mM, 1 pM, and 0.3 pM. For samples stimulated with anti-CD3 antibody alone (anti-CD3), the Cbl-b inhibitor concentrations tested were 8 pM, and 1 pM. Following incubation with the Cbl-b inhibitor, primary human total T-cells were stimulated with either plate bound anti-CD3 antibody (OKT3) alone or plate bound anti-CD3 antibody (OKT3) with soluble anti-CD28 antibody (28.2) (Life Technologies). To prepare plates with plate bound anti-CD3 antibody (OKT3), 96-well round bottom tissue culture plates were coated with 100 pi of anti-CD3 antibody (OKT3) at lOpg/mL for 4 hours at 37°C 5% CO2 in phosphate buffered saline (PBS). The plates were washed with PBS once prior to adding the cells with or without soluble anti-CD28 antibody (28.2) to each well at a final concentration of 5 pg/mL. Cells were stimulated for 48 hours prior to harvesting the cell free supernatant and staining the cell population for surface marker assessment by flow cytometry. Supernatants were analyzed for cytokine secretion, including IL-2 by ELISA (R&D Systems, Peprotech or Life Technologies) or Luminex multiplex kits (Procarta Life Technologies) following the

manufacturer’s protocol. Cells were stained with anti-CD25 antibody (BD Biosciences) to assess levels of surface marker of activation.

Results

[2903] Readouts were reported as fold change over baseline. Baseline for this study was the measurement obtained from total human T-cells stimulated with anti-CD3 antibody and with soluble anti-CD28 antibody, wherein the cells were not incubated with a Cbl-b inhibitor (Table 3). For T-cells stimulated with anti-CD3/anti-CD28, changes greater than 2.5-fold over baseline for IL-2 secretion and greater than 1.3 -fold over baseline for CD25 surface staining were considered significant and a positive response (Table 3). For T-cells stimulated with anti-CD3 alone, changes greater than 0. l-fold over baseline for IL-2 secretion and greater than 0.6-fold over baseline for CD25 surface staining were considered significant and a positive response (Table 3). Compounds were ranked into bins according to their readouts as follows: [2904] For IL-2 secretion with anti-CD3 antibody and anti-CD28 antibody co-stimulation the bins are: E indicates < 1.00 fold, D indicates 1.01 - 2.50 fold, C indicates 2.51 - 5.00 fold, B indicates 5.00 - 7.50 fold, and A indicates > 7.50 fold;

[2905] For IL-2 secretion with anti-CD3 antibody stimulation the bins are: E indicates < 0.050 fold, D indicates 0.051 - 0.1 fold, C indicates 0.101 - 0.15 fold, B indicates 0.151 - 0.2 fold, and A indicates > 0.201 fold;

[2906] For CD25 staining with anti-CD3 antibody and anti-CD28 antibody co-stimulation the bins are: E indicates < 1.00 fold, D indicates 1.01 - 1.30 fold, C indicates 1.31 - 1.50 fold, B indicates 1.51 - 1.75 fold, and A indicates > 1.76 fold; and

[2907] For CD25 staining with anti-CD3 antibody stimulation the bins are: D indicates < 0.600 fold, C indicates 0.601 < 0.800 fold, B indicates 0.801 < 1.00 fold, and A indicates > 1.001 fold.

Table 3. T-cell activation as assessed by IL-2 secretion and CD25 surface staining

Blank cell in Table indicates data not available. Conclusions

[2908] Cbl-b inhibitors as described herein enhanced IL-2 secretion in T-cells stimulated with anti-CD3 antibody alone or in combination with anti-CD28 antibody. Expression of the surface activation marker, CD25, increased in T-cells stimulated with anti-CD3 antibody alone or in combination with anti-CD28 antibody. These results indicate the identified Cbl-b inhibitors have the ability to activate T-cells and that such activation did not require co-stimulation with anti-CD28 antibody.

BIOLOGICAL EXAMPLE 3: Evaluation of immunomodulatory effects by Cbl-b inhibitors

[2909] Cbl-b inhibitors identified from screening assays demonstrated the ability to activate total human T-cells in vitro as evidenced by enhanced IL-2 secretion and expression of the CD25 surface activation marker.

[2910] Further in vitro studies were conducted to assess additional cytokine secretion by T- cells and expression of surface activation markers on T-cells. Additional immunomodulatory effects on T-cells contacted with the Cbl-b inhibitors described herein were assessed, such as the ability of a Cbl-b inhibitor to increase T-cell proliferation, decrease T-cell exhaustion, and decrease T-cell anergy. The ability of Cbl-b inhibitors, such as those described herein, to activate T-cells in vivo was also assessed. Other immunomodulatory effects by the Cbl-b inhibitors were assessed such as the ability of Cbl-b inhibitors to activate B-cells and NK cells.

Purification and assessment of primary human total T-cell activation

[2911] Peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMC) were obtained either: 1) by using Ficoll- Paque™ (GE Healthcare) for separation of peripheral blood hematopoietic cells from buffy coats of healthy human donors; or 2) directly from LeukoPak donations. Total human primary T-cells were isolated from the PMBCs utilizing negative selection with commercial kits following the manufacturer’s protocol (Miltenyi Catalog #130-096-535 (i.e., cocktail of antibodies against surface markers CD14, CD15, CD16, CD19, CD34, CD36, CD56, CD123 and CD235a are incubated with the PBMCs before passing the samples by magnetic beads for removal of cells expressing those surface markers) or StemCells Catalog #17951) to yield >95% CD3+ cells as assessed by flow cytometry. For measurement of cell proliferation, cells were labeled with Cell Trace Violet (Invitrogen) following manufacturer’s protocol prior to activation by stimulation with anti-CD3 antibody alone or in combination with anti-CD28 antibody. The Cbl-b inhibitor was added to l x l0 ⁵ cells per well at multiple concentrations (e.g., 10 mM, 1.11 mM, or OT23 mM) with a final DMSO concentration of <0.1%. The plate was incubated for one hour at 37°C in 5% CO2. Following incubation with the Cbl-b inhibitor, primary human total T-cells were stimulated with either plate bound anti-CD3 antibody (OKT3) alone or plate bound anti-CD3 antibody (OKT3) with soluble anti-CD28 antibody (28.2) (Life Technologies). To prepare plates with plate bound anti-CD3 antibody (OKT3), 96-well round bottom tissue culture plates were coated with IOOmI of anti-CD3 antibody (OKT3) at lOpg/mL for 4 hours at 37°C 5% C0 ₂ in phosphate buffered saline (PBS). The plates were washed with PBS prior to adding the cells with or without soluble anti-CD28 antibody (28.2) to each well at a final concentration of 5 pg/mL. Cells were stimulated for 48 hours prior to harvesting the cell free supernatant and staining the cell population for surface marker assessment by flow cytometry. Supernatants were analyzed for cytokine secretion (e.g., GM-CSF, IFNy and TNFa) by ELISA (R&D Systems, Peprotech or Life Technologies) or Luminex multiplex kits (Procarta Life Technologies) following manufacturer’s protocol. Cells were stained with anti-CD69 (BD Biosciences) to assess levels of surface markers of activation. Proliferation was measured by flow cytometry and data was analyzed with FlowJo v7.6.5 or vlO. Readouts were reported as fold change over baseline. In some embodiments, baseline was the measurement obtained from total human T- cells stimulated with anti-CD3 antibody alone, wherein the cells were not incubated with a Cbl-b inhibitor. In some embodiments, baseline was the measurement obtained from total human T- cells stimulated with anti-CD3 antibody and anti-CD28 antibody, where the cells were not incubated with a Cbl-b inhibitor.

[2912] Cbl-b inhibitor effects on primary human T-cells were also evaluated in the context of an allogenic mixed lymphocyte reaction (MLR). Allogenic immature dendritic cells were generated under the following conditions. Peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMC) were obtained either: 1) by using Ficoll-Paque™ (GE Healthcare) for separation of peripheral blood hematopoietic cells from huffy coats of healthy human donors; or 2) directly from LeukoPak donations. Monocytes were isolated from the PMBCs utilizing positive selection with a commercial kit following the manufacturer’s protocol (StemCells Catalog #17858) to yield >95% CD 14+ cells as assessed by flow cytometry. Monocytes were cultured with 30 ng/mL of recombinant human GM-CSF and 20 ng/mL of recombinant human IL-4 for seven days to generate immature dendritic cells. Monocytes and T-cells were either isolated fresh from peripheral blood or thawed from frozen stocks. Human T-cells were isolated, labeled with CFSE and incubated with inhibitors as described above. The Cbl-b inhibitor was added to 1 x 10 ⁵ T- cells in coculture with 2 x 10 ³ allogenic immature dendritic cells per well at multiple concentrations (e.g. , 10 mM, or 1.11 mM) with a final DMSO concentration of <0.1% and incubated at 37°C in 5% C0 ₂ for 5 days. Proliferation of the T-cells was evaluated by flow cytometry.

[2913] Cbl-b inhibitors were tested to determine their ability to induce or enhance secretion of cytokines from T-cells (e.g., GM-CSF, IFNy and TNFa) and/or surface expression of cell surface markers on T-cells (e.g., CD69) that is indicative of T-cell activation. Cbl-b inhibitors were also tested to determine their ability to induce or enhance T-cell proliferation. Cbl-b inhibitors were tested for their effects on T-cell activation in the presence of costimulation and where conditions were suboptimal for priming.

Results

[2914] Readouts for T-cell activation were reported as fold change over baseline. Baseline for this study was the measurement obtained from total human T-cells stimulated with anti-CD3 antibody alone or anti-CD3 antibody in combination with soluble anti-CD28 antibody, where the cells were not incubated with a Cbl-b inhibitor. For T-cells stimulated with anti-CD3/anti-CD28 or with anti-CD3 alone changes greater than 1 2-fold over baseline for % positive CD69 staining and greater than 2-fold over baseline for % total proliferating cells were considered a significant and positive response (Table 4a). Compounds were ranked into bins according to their readouts for % CD69 positive staining as follows: A indicates < 1.200, B indicates 1.201 - 1.400, C indicates 1.401-1.600 and indicates >1.601. Compounds were ranked into bins according to their readouts for % total proliferation as follows: A indicates < 2.00, B indicates 2.01- 3.00, C indicates 3.01-4.00 and indicates >4.00. For T-cells stimulated with anti-CD3/anti-CD28 or anti- CD3 alone, changes greater than 1.5-fold over baseline for GM-CSF and TNFa secretion and greater than 2-fold over baseline for IFNy secretion was considered a significant and positive response (Table 4b). Compounds were ranked into bins according to their readouts for GM-CSF and TNFa secretion as follows: A indicates < 1.50, B indicates 1.51 - 2.00, C indicates 2.01- 4.00, and D indicates >4.00. Compounds were ranked into bins according to their readouts for IFNy secretion as follows: A indicates < 2.00, B indicates 2.01- 3.00, C indicates 3.01-4.00, and D indicates >4.00.

Table 4b. T-cell activation assessed by cytokine secretion

[2915] Readouts for the allogenic mixed lymphocyte reaction were reported as fold change over baseline. Baseline for this study was the measurement obtained from total human T-cells stimulated with allogenic immature dendritic cells, wherein the T-cells were not incubated with a Cbl-b inhibitor (Table 5). Increases in proliferation greater than 2-fold over baseline were considered a positive response (Table 5). Compounds were ranked into bins according to their readouts as follows: A indicates < 2.00, B indicates 2.01 - 3.00, and C indicates >3.01.

Table 5. Allogenic T-cell activation assessed by cell proliferation

Conclusions

[2916] Cbl-b inhibitors identified from screening assays enhanced T-cell activation measured by an increase in CD69 expression, an early surface marker of activation, and secretion of inflammatory cytokines. Cbl-b inhibitors also increased the proliferation of primary human T- cells in response to anti-CD3/anti-CD28 activation and in an allogenic MLR assay. These results indicate the identified Cbl-b inhibitors have the ability to enhance the activity and proliferation of T-cells in the presence of costimulation and under suboptimal priming conditions.

Human T-cell in vitro models ofT-cell exhaustion

[2917] T-cell exhaustion is characterized by cells having a poor effector response and a sustained level of inhibitory receptor expression that results in T-cell dysfunction in response to chronic infections and cancer. In vitro models of T-cell exhaustion include allogenic and autologous models. In an autologous model, myeloid cells and SEB (Staphylococcal enterotoxin B, Millipore) were used to stimulate anti-CD3 stimulated T-cells. Peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMC) were obtained either: 1) by using Ficoll-Paque™ (GE Healthcare) for separation of peripheral blood hematopoietic cells from huffy coats of healthy human donors; or 2) directly from LeukoPak donations. Monocytes were isolated with commercial kits using negative selection with StemCells Easy Sep Human Monocyte Enrichment Kit without CD 16 Depletion (Catalog #19058) following the manufacturer’s protocol. Isolated monocytes were cultured in complete media (e.g. RPMI 1640 with no additives, 10% HI FBS, IX Glutamine and IX b- mercaptoethanol) with 50 ng/mL recombinant human M-CSF (R&D System or Peprotech).

Cells were plated at 2 x 10 ⁶ cells per well (Day 0) and cultured for 5 days and were fed with fresh media and cytokines on day 2. On day 5 IFNy was added at 100 ng/mL and the cells were incubated overnight. Primary human T-cells from the same donor were isolated from PBMCs with a commercial kit using negative selection (with StemCell EasySep Human T-cell Isolation Kit (Catalog #17951) following the manufacturer’s protocol. Purity was confirmed by surface marker detection by flow cytometry for CD4, CD8, CD45RA, CD45RO, CD 19, CD 14, CD56, and CD3 (BD Biosciences). 3 x 10 ⁶ cells per/mL T-cells were stimulated with 10 pg/mL of plate bound anti-CD3 antibody (Clone UCHT-l) for 5 days. This was done in parallel with myeloid cell generation. On day 6, 2.5 x 10 ⁴ T-cells were added per well, 12.5 x 10 ³ myeloid cells per well and SEB antigen (0.1 pg/mL) were added to wells of a round bottom 96-well plate. Test agents (e.g. Cbl-b inhibitor compounds) or controls (e.g., checkpoint neutralizing antibodies such as anti-PDl antibody) were added to the wells at the indicated concentrations (e.g.10 pM). Cells were cultured for 3 days at which point cell free supernatants were collected and assessed for secreted cytokines (e.g., GM-CSF, IFNy, and IL-2) by ELISA (R&D Systems, Peprotech or Life Technologies) or Luminex multiplex kits (Procarta Life Technologies). The T-cells were stained for a panel of surface markers including checkpoint inhibitors (e.g. CTLA4) and evaluated by flow cytometry for Cbl-b inhibitor effects.

[2918] Cbl-b inhibitors were tested to determine their ability to induce or enhance secretion of cytokines from exhausted T-cells (e.g., GM-CSF, IFNy and IL-2) in the presence of myeloid cells, which is indicative of decreased T-cell exhaustion. Cbl-b inhibitors were also tested for their effects on checkpoint modulator expression levels following activation of exhausted T-cells.

Results

[2919] Readouts were reported as fold change over baseline. Baseline for this study was the measurement obtained from in vitro generated exhausted human T-cells stimulated with SEB in the presence of autologous myeloid cells, in which the T-cells were not incubated with a Cbl-b inhibitor (Table 6). Changes greater than 1 4-fold over baseline for IFNy, GM-CSF and CTLA4, and greater than 2.0-fold over baseline for IL-2, were considered a positive response (Table 6). Compounds were ranked into bins according to their readouts as follows for IFNy. GM-CSF and CTLA4: A indicates < 1.40, B indicates 1.41 - 1.60 and C indicates >1.61. Compounds were ranked into bins according to their readouts as follows for IL2: A indicates < 2.50, B indicates 2.51-3.00 and C indicates >3.01.

Table 6. Exhausted T-cell activation assessed by cytokine secretion and CTLA4 expression

Conclusions

[2920] Cbl-b inhibitors identified from screening assays increased exhausted T-cell activation measured by an increase in secreted cytokines. Cbl-b inhibitors also increased checkpoint modulators on exhausted primary human T-cells. These results indicate the identified Cbl-b inhibitors have the ability to enhance the cytokine response and checkpoint modulation of in vitro generated exhausted T-cells.

Human T-cell in vitro models of T-cell Anergy

[2921] Peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMC) were obtained either: 1) by using Ficoll- Paque™ (GE Healthcare) for separation of peripheral blood hematopoietic cells from buffy coats of healthy human donors; or 2) directly from LeukoPak donations. Total human primary T-cells were isolated from the PBMCs utilizing negative selection with commercial kits following the manufacturer’s protocol (Miltenyi Catalog #130-096-535 (i.e., cocktail of antibodies against surface markers CD14, CD15, CD16, CD19, CD34, CD36, CD56, CD123 and CD235a were incubated with the PBMCs before passing the samples by magnetic beads for removal of cells expressing those surface markers) or StemCells Catalog #17951) to yield >95% CD3+ cells assessed by flow cytometry. The cells were activated with immobilized anti-CD3 antibody (OKT3) and soluble anti-CD28 antibody (28.2) for two days at which time they are washed and allowed to rest for three days in the absence of stimulation. They were then treated with ionomycin (Sigma) for 18-24 hours to induce anergy. Following two washes to remove the ionomycin from the samples, Cbl-b inhibitor compounds were added to the cells at the indicated concentrations (e.g. 10, 1.11 and 0.37 mM) and incubated for 1 hour. The cells were then re challenged with anti-CD3 antibody and anti-CD28 antibody for 24 hours at which point cell free supernatants were collected and assessed for cytokines (e.g., IFNy) by ELISA (R&D Systems or Peprotech) or Luminex multiplex kits (Procarta Life Technologies) following manufacturer’s protocols.

[2922] Cbl-b inhibitors were tested to determine their ability to induce or enhance secretion of cytokines from anergic T-cells (e.g. IFNy), which is indicative of decreased T-cell tolerance.

Results

[2923] Readouts were reported as fold change over baseline. Baseline for this study was the measurement obtained from anergic human T-cells stimulated with immobilized anti-CD3 and soluble anti-CD28, wherein the T-cells were not incubated with a Cbl-b inhibitor (Table 7). For IFNy changes greater than 2.5-fold over baseline were considered a positive response (Table 7). Compounds were ranked into bins according to their readout as follows for IFNy: A indicates < 2.50, B indicates 2.51 - 4.00 and C indicates >4.01.

Conclusions

[2924] Cbl-b inhibitors identified from screening assays increased anergic T-cell activation measured by an increase in IFNy secretion. These results indicate the identified Cbl-b inhibitors have the ability to modulate tolerized T-cell responses.

In vivo activity of Cbl-b inhibitors

[2925] A method of determining the pharmacodynamic profile of Cbl-b inhibitors was performed by dosing strains of mice with competent immune systems such as C57BL/6 or BALB/c with a Cbl-b inhibitor. The Cbl-b inhibitor was dissolved in a suitable formulation and administered by one of various routes such as intravenous (IV), intraperitoneal (IP), subcutaneous (SC), or oral (PO), at a suitable dose level and frequency (e.g. twice per day BID or thrice per day TID) as informed by prior pharmacokinetic and tolerability studies. Following administration of the Cbl-b inhibitor, T-cells and indirectly other immune cells (e.g. via cytokine production) were stimulated in vivo by administration of an anti-CD3 antibody or antigen binding fragment thereof in PBS at defined amounts such as 2 pg or 10 pg per animal by routes such as IV or IP (See Hirsh et ah, J. Immunol., 1989; Ferran, et ah, Eur. J. Immunol., 1990). Additional study control arms included groups of mice treated with a vehicle formulation alone (i.e.. formulation without the Cbl-b inhibitor and anti-CD3 antibody), a formulation containing the Cbl-b inhibitor alone, a formulation containing the anti-CD3 antibody alone, PBS alone, or combinations of these agents. The level of immune activation was then assessed by analysis of plasma cytokine levels and/or expression of activation markers on immune cells (e.g. T-cells). Blood or lymphoid organs (e.g. spleen) were collected at defined time points (e.g. 8 hours or 24 hours). Blood samples were processed to collect plasma for determination of cytokine levels using standard methods known in the art. Cytokines measured included IL-2, IFNy, and TNFa. Additional blood samples and lymphoid tissues were processed for flow cytometric analysis of immune cells (e.g. T-cells) using standard methods to determine expression of cell type-specific markers and activation markers such as CD25 and/or CD69. Augmentation of immune stimulation by Cbl-b inhibitor administration was assessed by comparing the relative concentrations of cytokines in plasma, or the expression levels of activation markers on immune cells between appropriate groups (e.g. mice treated with Cbl-b inhibitor and 2 pg anti-CD3 antibody versus mice treated with vehicle and 2 pg anti-CD3 antibody). [2926] Cbl-b inhibitors were tested to determine their ability to induce or enhance the level of cytokines (e.g. IL-2, IFNy. and TNFa) in blood obtained from treated mice stimulated with an anti-CD3 antibody, which is indicative of modulation of the immune response. Cbl-b inhibitors were also tested to determine their ability to induce or enhance the expression of cell surface markers on T-cells (e.g. CD25 and/or CD69) isolated from treated mice stimulated with an anti- CD3 antibody, which is indicative of modulation of the immune response.

Results

[2927] Readouts were reported as fold change over baseline. The fold change was calculated from the mean value of mice treated with Cbl-b inhibitor and 2 pg anti-CD3 antibody, with the baseline defined as the mean value of mice treated with vehicle and 2 pg anti-CD3 antibody. Increases in the percentage of cells with surface expression of CD25 on CD4+ T-cells or CD8+ T-cells greater than 1.5-fold over baseline at 24 hours were considered a positive response. Increases in the plasma concentration of IL-2, IFNy, and TNFa greater than 1.5-fold over baseline at 8 hours post-stimulation were also considered a positive response (Table 8). Fold changes were ranked into bins according to their readouts as follows: A indicates > 2.50, B indicates 2.01 - 2.50, C indicates 1.51 - 2.00, D indicates 1.00 - 1.50, and E indicates < 1.00.

Conclusions

[2928] Cbl-b inhibitors identified from screening assays increased in vivo T-cell activation as measured by an increase in the percentage of surface CD25 expression on CD4+ or CD8+ T-cells and an increase in plasma cytokine levels from mice treated with Cbl-b inhibitors and an anti- CD3 antibody. These results indicate that the identified Cbl-b inhibitors have the ability to enhance T-cell activation and plasma cytokine levels in vivo.

B Cell Activation Assay

[2929] Peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMC) were obtained either: 1) by using Ficoll- Paque™ (GE Healthcare) for separation of peripheral blood hematopoietic cells from buffy coats of healthy human donors; or 2) directly from LeukoPak donations. Human primary B cells were isolated from the PBMCs utilizing negative selection with commercial kits following the manufacturer’s protocol (StemCells Catalog #17954) to yield >95% CD20+ cells assessed by flow cytometry. Primary human B cells were plated at 0.7-1 x 10 ⁵ per well in a 96-well plate with Cbl-b inhibitors over a dose ranging from 10 mM to 1 nM and incubated at 37°C 5% C0 ₂ , with a final DMSO concentration of <0.5%. Cells were stimulated with anti-IgM for 20 hours at 37°C 5% CCri. Surface activation markers on mature CD20 ⁺ IgD ⁺ B cells were monitored by FACS using an anti-CD69 antibody (BD Biosciences). [2930] Cbl-b inhibitors were tested to determine their ability to induce or enhance surface expression of cell surface markers on B cells (e.g., CD69), which is indicative of B cell activation.

Results

[2931] Readouts were reported as area under curve (AUC) of the dose response curve of CD69 mean fluorescence intensity (MFI) normalized to the DMSO control. Baseline for this study was the measurement obtained from primary human B cells treated with DMSO in the presence of 2.5 pg/mL of anti-IgM-F(ab’)2· For B cells treated with Cbl-b inhibitors and stimulated with anti-IgM, AUC greater than 0.5 were considered a positive response (Table 9). Compounds were ranked into bins according to their readouts as follows: A indicates < 0.5, B indicates 0.5 - 1.00, C indicates 1.01 - 1.50, and D indicates > 1.51.

Conclusions

[2932] Cbl-b inhibitors identified from screening assays enhanced anti-IgM activation of B cells as measured by an increase in CD69, an early surface marker of activation. These results indicate the identified Cbl-b inhibitors have the ability to enhance the activity of B cells.

Purification and activation of primary human NK cells.

[2933] Peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMC) were obtained either: 1) by using Ficoll- Paque™ (GE Healthcare) for separation of peripheral blood hematopoietic cells from buffy coats of healthy human donors; or 2) directly from LeukoPak donations. Total human primary NK cells were isolated from the PBMCs utilizing negative selection with commercial kits following the manufacturer’s protocol (Miltenyi Catalog #130-092-657 or StemCells Catalog #17955) to yield >92% CD56+, CD3- cells as assessed by flow cytometry. The cells were cultured overnight with IL-2 (60 ng/mL) at 37°C 5% CO2. Cbl-b inhibitors were added 1 hour prior to stimulation and incubated at 37°C 5% CO2 at a specific concentration (e.g., 10 mM, 1 pM, or 0.1 pM) with a final DMSO concentration of <0.1%. NK cells were co-cultured with target cells that were engineered to have a red nucleus (K562 NucRed) measurable by flow cytometry. K562 NucRed cells were produced by transduction of K562 cells with IncuCyte NucLight Red Lentivirus reagent (Catalog #4476) and selected for 5 days. Clonal populations were isolated and expanded using standard tissue culture techniques, and individual clones were validated by comparison to wildtype K562 cells in NK cell killing assays. The cells were mixed at the indicated ratios (e.g., 5: 1, 1: 1, or 1:5) ofNK (effector cells) to K562 NucRed (target cells) for 6 hours. Cell free supernatants were collected and analyzed for cytokine secretion (e.g. TNFa, IFNy. or MIRIb) by ELISA or Luminex multiplex kits following the manufacturer’s protocol. IFNy secretion was assessed using an R&D Systems ELISA kit (Catalog #DY285), TNFa secretion was assessed using an R&D Systems ELISA kit (Catalog #DY2lO), and MIRIb secretion was assessed using an R&D Systems ELISA kit (Catalog #DY27l). Results

[2934] Readouts were reported as fold change over baseline. Baseline for this study was the measurement obtained from primary human NK effector cells cocultured with K562 NucRed target cells in the absence of a Cbl-b inhibitor. For NK cells cocultured with K562 NucRed cells, changes greater than 2.0-fold over baseline for cytokine secretion were considered a positive response (Table lOa and lOb). Compounds were ranked into bins according to their readouts as follows: A indicates < 1.00 -fold, B indicates 1.01 - 2.00 -fold, C indicates 2.01 - 5.00 -fold, and D indicates > 5.00 -fold.
