  • the actual takedown was between 6-9 hours.
  • Blood was collected via cardiac puncture immediately upon death via CO 2 and placed in EDTA tubes spun down at 2000 g for 10 minutes at 4° C. The plasma was transferred to Eppendorf tube and stored at ⁇ 80° C.

  • RAD140 administered at a dose of 100 mg/kg alone or in combination with palbociclib inhibited the growth of HER2 ⁇ , ER+, PR+ breast cancer tumors implanted in female athymic nude mice (WHIM18 PDx) ( FIG. 6 ).
  • RAD140 administered at lower doses 1 mg/kg bid, 3 mg/kg bid or 10 mg/kg bid all led to substantial inhibition of tumor growth, as judged by TGI values of 49%, 65% and 57%, respectively.
  • RAD140 was demonstrated to have good activity in a transplanted PDx tumor xenograft in nude mice. The activity was significant in a range from 1 mg/kg through 100 mg/kg. Taking into account the specific exposure levels in mice, and cross species pharmacokinetic modelling from both known and derived pharmacokinetic parameters, a dose range in women patients can be calculated. In particular, doses between 1 mg/kg (bid) and 100 mg/kg (bid) were all demonstrated to have good efficacy in one or more models described in the examples herein. Based on half life across species and microsome stability, it is predicted that RAD140 will be effective as a once per day oral dosage with a dose range between 5 mg and 500 mg.
  • the mouse efficacious dose of 10 mg/kg (qd) effectively translates to a dose of approximately 50 mg qd in a 60 kg woman. Since a range of 1 mg/kg to 100 mg/kg (bid) were shown effective, a broader range of 10 mg to 1000 mg is clinically relevant. In particular, within this range it can be seen that additional ranges of 10 mg-250 mg, 25 mg-250 mg, 25-500 are also supported. Similarly, individual dose points falling anywhere within the range are well supported such that any specific point within the range, integer or non-integer are supported.

  • QD dosing of the described doses are predicted to be quite adequate as RAD140 is predicted from pharmacokinetic studies in animals to have a long half life suitable for once daily dosing though bid dosing would also work BUT the doses given above for a single daily administration are divided in two since they would be given twice per day.
