PHARMACEUTICAL COMPOSITIONS AND THEIR USE FOR TREATMENT OF

CANCER AND AUTOIMMUNE DISEASES

CROSS-REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATIONS [001] This application claims the benefit of U.S. Patent Application No.15/183,340, filed June 15, 2016. The content of the priority application is incorporated herein by reference in its entirety. BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION [002] Cancer treatment has evolved over time to become more targeted and less toxic to the patient. Traditional chemotherapy often has a high level of systemic toxicity. Targeted therapy uses small molecules or biologics (e.g., therapeutic antibodies) to inhibit the activity of a selected cellular protein involved in cancer development, and causes much less side effect than traditional chemotherapy. Immunotherapies such as those targeting immune checkpoints (e.g., PD-1 and PD-L1) and those involving chimeric antigen receptor T (CAR-T) cells aim to bolster the patient’s own anti-cancer immune defense, and have emerged as a promising new treatment paradigm. [003] One of the cellular proteins that have been targeted in cancer therapy is Bruton tyrosine kinase (BTK). BTK is a member of the Tec family of protein tyrosine kinases. BTK has domains with pleckstrin homology (PH), Tec homology (TH), Src homology 3 (SH3), Src homology 2 (SH2), and tyrosine kinase or Src homology 1(TK or SH1) (Akinleye et al., “Ibrutinib and novel BTK inhibitors in clinical development,” Journal of Hematology &

Oncology, 2013, 6:59). Proper expression of the BTK gene in different lymphoid regions plays a key role in normal B-cell development. BTK is also involved in signal transduction pathways for B cell activation and survival (Kurosaki,“Molecular mechanisms in B cell antigen receptor signaling,” Curr OP Imm, 1997, 9(3):309-18). [004] BTK functions downstream of multiple receptors, including B-Cell Receptor (BCR), receptors for growth factors and chemokines, and innate immune receptors. BTK initiates a broad range of cellular processes, such as cell proliferation, survival, differentiation, motility, adhesion, angiogenesis, cytokine production, and antigen presentation, and plays an important role in hematological malignancies and immune disorders. In a mouse model for chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL), BTK expression levels were shown to set the threshold for malignant transformation; BTK overexpression accelerated leukemia and increased mortality (Kil et al.,“Bruton’s tyrosine kinase mediated signaling enhances leukemogenesis in a mouse model for chronic lymphocytic leukemia,” Am J Blood Res, 2013, 3(1):71-83). [005] Ibrutinib (also known commercially as IMBRUVICA®) was the first BTK inhibitor approved by the United States Food and Drug Administration for treating mantle cell lymphoma (MCL), chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL), and Waldenström’s

macroglobulinemia (WM). In general, however, the selectivity of known BTK inhibitors is not ideal– they inhibit not only BTK, but also various other kinases (such as ETK, EGF, BLK, FGR, HCK, YES, BRK and JAK3, etc.). Known BTK inhibitors also produce a variety of derivatives. These characteristics of known BTK inhibitors lead to a decrease in therapeutic efficacy and an increase in side effects. The pharmacokinetics of known BTK inhibitors also needs to be improved. Indeed, significant variations in bioavailability of ibrutinib have been observed clinically among patients (Marostica et al.,“Population pharmacokinetic model of ibrutinib, a Bruton tyrosine kinase inhibitor, in patients with B cell malignancies,” Cancer Chemother Pharmacol, 2015, 75:111–121).

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION [006] The invention relates to methods of inhibiting cancer cells and treating cancer, and to methods of inhibiting lymphocytes (e.g., B cells) and treating immune disorders.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION [0058] Signaling transduction pathways controlling cell growth, proliferation, survival, and apoptosis are complex and interrelated. Applicant has discovered that concurrent blockade of (i) the BTK-mediated signaling pathway, (ii) the mTOR kinase-mediated signaling pathway, and (iii) the Bcl-2-mediated signaling pathway or a signal transduction pathway targeted by an immunomodulatory drug (IMiD) provides surprisingly superior efficacy in treating cancer, such as hematological malignancies, involving BTK, as compared to monotherapy targeting only one of these pathways. [0059] Applicant has also discovered that concurrent blockade of (i) the BTK-mediated signaling pathway and (ii) the mTOR kinase-mediated signaling pathway provides surprisingly superior efficacy in treating immune disorders, such as autoimmune diseases, inflammation, and hypersensitivity, involving BTK, as compared to monotherapy targeting only either pathway. [0060] In one aspect of the invention, applicant has discovered the unexpected strong synergistic effects in the combined use of BTK, mTOR, and Bcl-2 inhibitors to target the signal transduction mediated by these three cellular proteins. The relationships between signaling pathways are highly complicated. See, e.g., Roschewski et al.,“Diffuse large B-cell lymphoma—treatment approaches in the molecular era,” Nat Rev Clin Oncol, 2014, 11(1): 12- 23, the content of which is herein incorporated by reference in its entirety. The super synergistic effects shown by the present combinations are surprising because not all combinations of anti- cancer drugs have synergistic effects, much less synergistic effects of the magnitude seen with the present combinations. For example, applicant has found that ALK inhibitor ceritinib and BTK inhibitor ibrutinib have no synergistic effect; applicant has also found that JAK1/2 inhibitor ruxolitinib and a BTK inhibitor, or an mTOR inhibitor, or an immunomodulatory drug have no synergistic effect. [0061] However, the“two in one” and“three in one” combination therapies of this invention have been found to be synergistic and superior to monotherapy. The“two in one” pharmaceutical combinations each comprise the use of:

(i) a BTK inhibitor and (ii) an mTOR kinase inhibitor;

(i) a BTK inhibitor and (ii) an IMiD;

(i) a BTK inhibitor and (ii) a TOPK inhibitor;

(i) a BTK inhibitor and (ii) a PI3K inhibitor; or

(i) a TOPK inhibitor and (ii) a PI3K inhibitors. [0062] The“three in one” pharmaceutical combinations each comprise the use of:

(i) a BTK inhibitor, (ii) an mTOR kinase inhibitor, and (iii) an immunomodulatory drug (IMiD);

(i) a BTK inhibitor, (ii) an mTOR kinase inhibitor, and (iii) a Bcl-2 inhibitor;

(i) a BTK inhibitor, (ii) a PI3K inhibitor, and (iii) a Bcl-2 inhibitor; or

(i) a BTK inhibitor, (ii) a PI3K inhibitor, and (iii) an immunomodulatory drug (IMiD). Each of these inhibitors is further described below. [0063] Single targeted therapy (monotherapy) requires longer term treatment and often results in drug resistance and disease recurrence over time due to gene mutations in the target (e.g., cancerous) cells. Indeed, resistance to BTK inhibitor ibrutinib has been observed in patients. The combination therapies of this invention circumvent drug resistance because they inhibit potential compensatory pathways in the target cells. The present invention thus brings new hopes to patients with refractory diseases such as drug-resistant cancer. These therapies also have better safety profiles and broader therapeutic windows than single targeted drugs, because the synergistic effects of the drugs in these combination therapies enable a healthcare provider to use the individual drugs at much lower doses, thus reducing side effects of these drugs. [0064] Applicant’s studies have showed that the combination therapies of this invention achieved therapeutic efficacy that is as much as 100 times higher than monotherapy, yet at lower individual drug dosages. In various xenograft mouse models, oral gavage administration of a combination of 1/18 Compound 3 (BTK inhibitor) + 1/6 everolimus (mTOR inhibitor) + 1/6 pomalidomide (IMiD) achieved far better therapeutic effects than each of the three drugs at full doses. A“two in one” combination led to complete tumor regression in the 15-day treatment cycle, and a“three in one” combination led to complete tumor regression in an even shorter treatment cycle (9 days) in the mouse models. Importantly, the tumor did not rebound within 12 days after termination of the treatment, unlike in single targeted therapy. [0065] Applicant has found that the“three in one” pharmaceutical compositions can inhibit up to 95% of tumor cell viability at a BTK inhibitor concentration as low as 10 nM after an incubation time of only 48 hours, and that percentage increases with a longer incubation time (e.g., 72-96 hours). Applicant has also shown that the inhibition of cell viability in vitro by the compositions correlates with the inhibition of tumor growth in vivo by them. It is thus expected that the present compositions can lead to cancer remissions or complete disappearance at an individual drug concentration as low as 10 nM. At present, single targeted therapy or two- pathway combination therapy is effective in inhibiting the growth of tumor cells at the drug concentration of 1,000 nM. For example, venetoclax, a Bcl-2 inhibitor, inhibited TMD-8 tumor cell viability at 1,000 nM, 100 nM and 10 nM, by 37.6%, 18.8% and 11.1%, respectively. A “two in one” pharmaceutical composition of this invention comprised of venetoclax at the same concentrations and Compound 3 (a BTK inhibitor; infra) at 1,000 nM, 100 nM, and 10 nM inhibited TMD-8 cell viability by 85.97%, 79.99% and 65.36%, respectively. A“three in one” pharmaceutical composition comprised of venetoclax at 100 nM, Compound 3 at 1,000 nM, 100 nM, and 10 nM, and PI3K inhibitor at 100 nM inhibited TMD-8 cell viability by 95.56%, 95.30% and 94.62%, respectively. A“three in one” pharmaceutical composition comprised of venetoclax at 100 nM, Compound 31,000 nM, 100 nM and 10 nM and mTOR inhibitor everolimus at 100 nM inhibited TMD-8 cell viability by 93.44%, 94.73% and 94.65%, respectively. The significant synergistic effects of the compositions of this invention cannot be inferred from the existing knowledge. [0066] The present combination therapies have been shown not only highly effective in the sensitive TMD-8 tumor model, but also highly effective in the insensitive DoHH2 tumor model and the resistant and refractory WSU-DLCL tumor model. For example, compound EZ- 6438 (histone methyltransferase EZH2 inhibitor) inhibited tumor growth in the WSU-DLCL tumor model by oral gavage to mice at the high dose of 480 mg/kg/day according to previous reports (Knutson et al.,“Selective inhibition of EZH2 by EPZ-6438 leads to potent antitumor activity in EZH2-mutant non-Hodgkin lymphoma,” Mol. Can. Ther, 2014, 13(4):842-54), but the “three in one” combination of this invention is effective at only 21 mg/kg/day for all three drugs combined. [0067] In certain preferred embodiments, the pharmaceutical combinations of the invention comprise (i) a BTK inhibitor, (ii) an mTOR kinase inhibitor, and (iii) an IMiD or a Bcl-2 inhibitor. In in vivo animal models, where the drugs were administered by oral gavage (a route of administration that can avoid uncertainties in pharmacokinetics and more accurately evaluate druggability of an oral pharmaceutical composition than, for example, intraperitoneal injection or intravenous injection), such“three in one” combinations resulted in the complete disappearance of tumor grafts, and no tumor rebound was observed 12 days after treatment ended. Other combinations only inhibited tumor growth, and had to be administered

continuously to keep tumor growth at bay. Everolimus monotherapy could result in the complete disappearance of tumor grafts at high doses (3 mg/kg), but tumors quickly rebounded after treatment ended. Thus, the“three in one” pharmaceutical combinations of the present invention not only cause total tumor regression, but it also prevents tumor recurrence. [0068] The individual drugs useful in the present combination therapies are described in further detail below. BTK Inhibitors

They also can be the polyfluorinated compounds described in PCT Publication WO 2015/165279 and U.S. Application No.15/075,033, filed March 18, 2016, the disclosure of which are incorporated by reference herein in their entireties. Besides small molecules, other chemical entities, such as antisense RNAs, siRNAs, peptidyl inhibitors and antibody inhibitors of BTK can also be used. In some embodiments, the inhibitors bind irreversibly to BTK. In some embodiments, the inhibitors can bind to mutated BTK, such as BTK with a mutation at C481, e.g., a C481S mutation. In some embodiments, inhibitors of other members of the BTK- mediated signaling pathway may be used in lieu of or in addition to BTK inhibitors. For example, inhibitors of Protein Kinase C (PKC) β such as enzastaurin and sotrastaurin can be used as surrogates for a BTK inhibitor. [0070] In certain embodiments, useful BTK inhibitors include those having a structure of one of the following formulae (Formulae I, II, Ia, Ib, IIa, and IIb) or their pharmaceutically acceptable salts thereof, and their individual enantiomers or diastereomers or salts thereof. [0071] Nitrogen atom can form three bonds with other atoms. Any atom other than hydrogen has to be drawn. Hydrogen may or may not be clearly drawn as a typical practice by chemists. For example, R-N means R-NH₂, R-NC(=O)-W means R-NH(C=O)-W.

wherein:

each R¹ is F;

R² is F;

R³ is H or D;

n is 1, 2, 3 or 4; and

m is 1 or 2, or an enantiomer or diastereomer thereof, or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt or prodrug thereof. [0072] A compound of the above Formulae may comprise one or more stable isotopes or radio isotopes, including but not limited to, ²H, ³H, ¹³C, ¹⁴C, ¹⁵N, and ¹⁸O. For example, ¹H, which is at the end of the double bond of the vinyl group in the compound of Formula (I), maybe replaced with ²H to reduce the drug inactivation caused by the oxidation/reduction of double bond. [0073] As used herein, a“prodrug” is a biologically inactive compound that can be metabolized in the body to produce a drug. For example, a prodrug of a BTK inhibitor can be a prodrug at the amino group, for example, an amide, carbamate, or a polyethylene glycol. [0074] As used herein, the term“pharmaceutically acceptable salts” refers to salts formed with acid or base, including, but not limited to, (a) acid addition salts: inorganic acid (e.g., hydrochloric acid, hydrobromic acid, sulfuric acid, phosphoric acid, nitric acid and other organic acids), and organic acid (e.g., acetic acid, oxalic acid, tartaric acid, succinic acid, malic acid, and ascorbic acid); and (b) base addition salts, the formation of metal cations, such as zinc, calcium, sodium, and potassium. Synthesis Schemes for BTK Inhibitors [0075] A novel method for the synthesis of pyrazolopyrimidine compounds was successfully designed. Representative synthesis schemes are shown below. Unless otherwise specified, in the following reaction schemes and discussion, R¹, R², R³, m, and n have the same meaning as defined above.

0076 Scheme 1

[0077] Fluoro-substituted starting material A1 is treated with substituted phenol B1 to generate intermediate C1 under basic condition (e.g. potassium carbonate) in a suitable solvent (e.g. DMF). Intermediate C1 then reacts with bis(pinacolato)diboron to give intermediate D1 with a suitable catalyst (e.g. [1,1'-bis(diphenylphosphino)ferrocene]dichloropalladium(II)) under basic condition (e.g. potassium acetate) in a suitable solvent (e.g.1,4-dioxane). Iodination of 1H-pyrazolo[3,4-d]pyrimidin-4-amine with NIS forms intermediate F1, followed by Mitsunobu reaction or displacement reaction to furnish intermediate G1. Intermediate G1 is treated with compound D1 above obtained to give intermediate H1 with a suitable catalyst (e.g. Pd-118) under basic condition (e.g. potassium phosphate) in a suitable solvent (e.g.1,4-dioxane). De- Boc protection of intermediate H1 gives amine I1 under acidic condition. Intermediate I1 is reacted with an electrophilic reagent to form amide J1. If J1 is racemic, optically active compounds K1 and L1 can be obtained by SFC chiral resolution. 0078 Scheme 2

[0079] 3-fluoro-4-bromophenol reacts with 1-fluoro-3-nitrobenzene to generate intermediate C2 with a base (e.g., potassium carbonate) in a suitable solvent (e.g. DMF). The obtained nitro compound C2 is reduced to the amine D2 with appropriate reducing reagents (e.g., iron powder and ammonium chloride) in appropriate solvents (e.g., ethanol and water), followed by treatment with sodium nitrite and hydrogen fluoride pyridine to generate fluoro-substituted intermediate E2. Intermediate E2 then reacts with bis(pinacolato)diboron to give intermediate F2 with a suitable catalyst (e.g., [1,1'-bis(diphenylphosphino)ferrocene]dichloropalladium(II)) under basic condition (e.g. potassium acetate) in a suitable solvent (e.g., 1,4-dioxane). Intermediate G1 is treated with compound F2 above obtained to give intermediate G2 with a suitable catalyst (e.g., Pd-118) under basic condition (e.g., potassium phosphate) in a suitable solvent (e.g., 1,4-dioxane). De-Boc protection of intermediate G2 gives amine H2 under acidic condition. Intermediate H2 is reacted with an electrophilic reagent to form amide I2. If I2 is racemic, optically active compounds J2 and K2 can be obtained by SFC chiral resolution. [0080 Scheme 3

[0081] 3-fluoro-4-bromophenol reacts with 3-fluorophenylboronic acid to generate intermediate B3 with an appropriate catalyst (e.g., copper acetate). Intermediate B3 then reacts with bis(pinacolato)diboron to give intermediate C3 with a suitable catalyst (e.g., [1,1'- bis(diphenylphosphino)ferrocene]dichloropalladium(II)). Intermediate G1 is treated with compound C3 above obtained to give intermediate D3 with an appropriate catalyst (e.g., [1,1'- bis(diphenylphosphino)ferrocene]dichloropalladium(II)) under basic condition (e.g., potassium acetate) in a suitable solvent (e.g., 1,4-dioxane). De-Boc protection of intermediate D3 gives amine E3 under acidic condition. Intermediate E3 is reacted with an electrophilic reagent to form amide F3. If F3 is racemic, optically active compounds H3 and I3 can be obtained by SFC chiral resolution. [0082] Scheme 4

[0083] Amine I1 was reacted with but-2-ynoic acid to form amide II. If II is racemic, optically active compounds H3 and I3 could be obtained by SFC chiral resolution.

0084 Scheme 5

[0085] Intermediate A5 was formed via Mitsunobu reaction or displacement reaction from compound F1. A5 was treated with compound D1 above obtained to give intermediate B5 with a suitable catalyst (e.g., Pd-118) under basic condition (e.g., potassium phosphate) in a suitable solvent (e.g., 1,4-dioxane). De-Boc protection of intermediate B5 gave amine C5 under acidic condition. Intermediate C5 was reacted with an electrophilic reagent to form amide Ia.

[0086] Scheme 6

[0087] Amine I1 was reacted with but-2-ynoic acid to form amide IIa. [0088] Table 1 shows the structures and names of these compounds and Compounds 7 and 20.

Table 1 Representative Compounds

[0089] Pharmacokinetic analysis of the Compounds can be performed as descried in Marostica et al.,“Population pharmacokinetic model of ibrutinib, a Bruton tyrosine kinase inhibitor, in patients with B cell malignancies,” Cancer Chemother Pharmacol, 2015, 75:111- 121. The content of this publication is herein incorporated by reference in its entirety. [0090] Toxicity and toxicokinetic (TK) studies of the compounds can be performed by well known methods. Applicant’s TK studies showed that the BTK-inhibitory Compounds described herein had better safety profiles than ibrutinib in 28-day rat and dog studies. For example, Compound 3 demonstrated the following advantageous characteristics:

(i) higher no-observed-adverse-effect-level (NOAEL) than ibrutinib;

(ii) 5- to 14-fold higher exposure than ibrutinib at the same dose of 40 mg/kg in rats on day 1;

(iii) when administered to rats at 40 mg/kg, AUC (area under the curve) 13,700 h*ng/mL (male) and 17,300 h*ng/mL (female), as compared to 1,000 h*ng/mL (male) and 3300 h*ng/mL (female) for ibrutinib at 40 mg/kg (according to U.S. FDA NDA Application No.

205552Orig1s000_pharmacological review);

(iv) when administered to dogs at 15 mg/kg, AUC 3,550 (male) and 2,930 (female) h*ng/mL, as compared to AUC 1,780 (male) and 1,850 (female) h*ng/mL for ibrutinib at 24 mg/kg ((according to U.S. FDA NDA Application No.205552Orig1s000_pharmacological review);

(v) no significant difference in drug exposure between Day 1 and Day 28, and

(vi) no significant difference in drug exposure between male and female. These characteristics show that Compound 3 has low toxicity, excellent pharmacokinetics, and superior bioavailability when compared to ibrutinib.

mTOR Kinase Inhibitors [0091] The mammalian target of rapamycin (mTOR) is a protein kinase that serves as a key regulator of cell growth, proliferation, metabolism and apoptosis. Inhibitors of mTOR kinase useful in the combination therapy of this invention include but are not limited to

everolimus,

rapamycin,

pharmaceutically acceptable salts thereof. [0092] In some embodiments, everolimus may be preferred. Everolimus has been approved by the United States Food and Drug Administration for the treatment of breast cancer, pancreatic cancer, renal cell carcinoma, renal angiomyolipoma, and tuberous sclerosis. In addition, everolimus has been used to treat organ transplant rejection at low doses, as organ transplant also activates mTOR. Applicant contemplates that the combination therapy of this invention also can be used in these contexts. [0093] Besides small molecules, other chemical entities, such as antisense RNAs, siRNAs, peptidyl inhibitors and antibody inhibitors of mTOR can also be used. Further, inhibitors of other members of the mTOR-mediated signaling pathway may be used in lieu of or in addition to mTOR inhibitors. For example, inhibitors of phosphoinositide 3-kinase (PI3K) such as BTG226, gedatolisib, apitolisib, omipalisib, dactolisib, duvelisib, and idelalisib can be used in lieu of or in addition to mTOR inhibitors. Inhibitors of Akt (Protein Kinase B) such as 8- [4-(1-aminocyclobutyl)phenyl]-9-phenyl-2H-[1,2,4]triazolo[3,4-f][1,6]naphthyridin-3- one;dihydrochloride (MK-2206) also can be used in lieu of or in addition to mTOR inhibitors. Immunomodulatory Drugs [0094] Immunomodulatory drugs (IMiDs) are a class of drugs that include thalidomide and its structural and functional analogues. IMiDs possess anti-angiogenic, anti-proliferative and pro-apoptotic properties for cancer cells. IMiDs stimulate T lymphocytes to induce proliferation, cytokine production, and cytotoxicity, thus increasing T cells’ anti-cancer activities. IMiDs are useful in treating a variety of inflammatory and autoimmune diseases. IMiDs also are useful in treating neoplastic diseases such as hematologic neoplasms, e.g., multiple myeloma and myelodysplastic syndromes, as well as certain solid tumors. IMiDs such as lenalidomide, pomalidomide, CC-112 (Celgene), and CC-220 (Celgene) have improved potency and reduced side effects compared to thalidomide. Bcl-2 Inhibitors [0095] B-cell lymphoma 2 protein (Bcl-2) is an important regulator of programmed cell death (apoptosis). Bcl-2 inhibitors useful in this invention include, but are not limited to:

Venetoclax or ABT-199 (Abbvie/Genentech),

BI-97C1 or sabutoclax,

navitoclax,

obatoclax,

4-[4-[[2-(4-Chlorophenyl)phenyl]methyl]piperazin-1-yl]-N-[4-[[(2R)-4-(dimethylamino)- 1-phenylsulfanylbutan-2-yl]amino]-3-nitrophenyl]sulfonylbenzamide (ABT-737), N-[4-(2-tert-butylphenyl)sulfonylphenyl]-2,3,4-trihydroxy-5-[(2-propan-2- ylphenyl)methyl]benzamide (TW-37),

APG-1252 (Ascentage Pharma),

S 55746 (Servier), and

pharmaceutically acceptable salts thereof.

Besides small molecules, other chemical entities, such as antisense RNAs, siRNAs, peptidyl inhibitors and antibody inhibitors of Bcl-2 can also be used. Further, inhibitors of other members of the Bcl-2-mediated signaling pathway may be used in lieu of or in addition to Bcl-2 inhibitors.

Additional Combinations [0096] The combination therapy of this invention may be further combined with other therapeutic agents, such as a TOPK inhibitor (e.g., OTS964 ((R)-9-(4-(1- (dimethylamino)propan-2-yl)phenyl)-8-hydroxy-6-methylthieno[2,3-c] quinolin-4(5H)-one) (Oncotherapy Science)), another tyrosine kinase inhibitor (e.g., axitinib, dasatinib, icotinib), a topoisomerase inhibitor (e.g., topotecan), a sphingosine-1-phosphate receptor agonist (e.g., fingolimod, KRP-203), anti-T cell immunoglobulin (e.g. AtGam), anti-IL-2 receptor antibody (e.g. daclizumab), amides (CTX), ifosfamide (IFO), adriamycin (ADM), daunorubicin (DNR), vincristine (VCR), vinblastine (VBL), etoposide (VP16), vermeer (Vumon), carboplatin (CBP) and methotrexate (MTX) cyclosporin A, tacrolimus, sirolimus, everolimus, azathioprine, brequinar, leflunomide, LEA-29Y, anti-CD3 antibody (e.g. OKT3), aspirin, B7-CD28 blocking molecules (e.g. belatacept, abatacept), CD40-CD154 blocking molecules (anti-CD40 antibodies), acetaminophen, ibuprofen, naproxen, piroxicam, and anti-inflammatory steroids (e.g.

The therapies may also be used in treating rejection in transplantation. [0098] The combination therapies of this invention can also be used to treat a variety of cancer, including hematological malignancies such as B-cell malignancies, e.g., small lymphocytic lymphoma (SLL), prolymphocytic leukemia (PLL), acute lymphocytic leukemia (ALL), chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL), Richter’s syndrome, diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL), Waldenström Macroglobulinemia (WM), follicular lymphoma (FL), multiple myeloma, mantle cell lymphoma (MCL)), marginal zone lymphoma, Hodgkin lymphoma, and non-Hodgkin lymphoma. [0099] In some embodiments, the combination therapies of this invention is used as a first line therapy, to treat patients who have not been treated by another drug for the same condition. In other embodiments, the combination therapy of this invention is used as a second, third, or fourth line therapy, where the patients have been treated for the same condition unsuccessfully (e.g., refractory or relapsed) by another drug, for example, rituximab (which targets CD20 on B cells), CHOP (the cyclophosphamide-hydroxydaunorubicin-oncovin- prednisone therapy), or rituximab plus CHOP (R-CHOP). Pharmaceutical Compositions and Administration [00100] The individual drugs in the combination therapies of the present invention can be administered separately to the patient, in any order as deemed appropriate for the patient by the healthcare provider. They can also be administered simultaneously; or in a hybrid manner, that is, for example, two of the individual drugs are administered simultaneously, separately from a third drug. [00101] The individual drugs in the combination therapies can also be co-formulated or provided in a pharmaceutical kit. In some embodiments, the co-formulated pharmaceutical composition or the pharmaceutical kit comprises a BTK inhibitor, an mTOR inhibitor, and an IMiD as active ingredients. In other embodiments, the co-formulated pharmaceutical composition or the pharmaceutical kit comprises a BTK inhibitor, an mTOR inhibitor, and a Bcl- 2 inhibitor as active ingredients. In other embodiments, the co-formulated pharmaceutical composition or the pharmaceutical kit comprises a BTK inhibitor, a PI3K inhibitor, and a Bcl-2 inhibitor as active ingredients. In other embodiments, the co-formulated pharmaceutical composition or the pharmaceutical kit comprises a BTK inhibitor, a PI3K inhibitor, and an IMiD as active ingredients. In some embodiments, the co-formulated pharmaceutical composition or the pharmaceutical kit comprises two or three compounds selected from BTK inhibitors, mTOR kinase inhibitors, IMiDs, Bcl-2 inhibitors, and PI3K inhibitors as active ingredients. [00102] Also included in the invention are the aforementioned combinations of active ingredients for use in treating diseases where BTK inhibition are beneficial, including, without limitation cancer such as lymphoid malignancies (e.g., B-cell malignancies recited above), and immune disorders such as autoimmune diseases and inflammation. Further included in the invention is the use of the aforementioned combinations of active ingredients in the manufacture of medicament for the treatment of these diseases. [00103] Carriers, excipients and other additives commonly used for pharmaceutical preparations may be used to prepare pharmaceutical compositions containing the active ingredients of the present invention, or pharmaceutically acceptable salts thereof. [00104] The administration forms may be oral dosage forms, such as tablets, pills, capsules, granules, powders, emulsions, syrups, suspensions, liquid preparations; or non-oral dosage forms, such as forms for intravenous, subcutaneous or intramuscular injection, suppository, transdermal implant, or inhalation. Symptoms, age, gender, weight, and other relevant medical information of the patient should be considered in order to properly determine the dosage of the drugs. Generally speaking, for oral administration, daily doses for adult patients of a drug is about 0.001 mg/kg to 100 mg/kg, given in a single dose daily or divided into 2 to 4 subdoses daily; for intravenous administration, daily doses for adult patients is 0.0001 mg/kg to 10 mg/kg, administered once or more times daily. [00105] In the present invention, solid compositions for oral administration may be tablets, capsules, powders, granules and the like. In such solid compositions, one or more active substances with at least one inert excipient (e.g., lactose, mannitol, glucose,

hydroxypropylcellulose, microcrystalline cellulose, starch, poly vinyl pyrrolidone, magnesium aluminum silicate, and the like ) can be mixed. The compositions may contain inert additives such as lubricants (e.g. magnesium stearate), disintegrating agents (e.g., sodium carboxymethyl starch) and dissolution aids. If necessary, tablets or pills may be coated with appropriate coatings such as a sugar coating or a gastric or enteric coating agent. [00106] The liquid compositions for oral administration include pharmaceutically acceptable emulsions, solutions, aqueous or oily suspensions, syrups, elixirs, and commonly used inert diluent (e.g., purified water, and ethanol). In addition to the inert diluent, the composition may also contain additives such as solubilizing agents, wetting agents, suspending agents, and sweetener, flavoring agents, flavoring agents and preservatives. [00107] Injections for parenteral administration may include sterile aqueous or non- aqueous liquid preparations, suspensions, and emulsions. Diluent aqueous solutions may include distilled water and physiological saline. Non-aqueous diluent solutions may include propylene glycol, polyethylene glycol, vegetable oils, alcohols (e.g., ethanol), and polysorbate 80. Such compositions may further contain isotonic agents, such as preservatives, wetting agents, emulsifying agents, dispersing agents, stabilizing agents, dissolving aids and the like. The compositions can be sterilized by filtration through a bacteria retaining filter, addition of bactericides, or irradiation. In addition, these compositions may be made as sterile solid compositions and dissolved or suspended in sterile water or a sterile solvent for injection prior to use. [00108] Pharmaceutical compositions used for transmucosal administration such as inhalation and nasal absorption can be solid, liquid, or semi-solid state of use, and can be made in accordance with conventional methods. For example, excipients such as lactose, starch, pH adjusting agents, preservatives, surfactants, lubricants, stabilizing and thickening agents and the like can be added. A suitable inhalation or insufflation device can be used. For example, metered dose inhaler devices may be used. A pressurized aerosol spray can also be used with a suitable propellant (e.g., chlorofluoroalkane, hydrofluoroalkane, or a suitable gas such as carbon dioxide). [00109] The following examples are meant to illustrate the methods and materials of the present invention. Suitable modifications and adaptations of the described conditions and parameters normally encountered in the art which are obvious to those skilled in the art are within the spirit and scope of the present invention.

Inhibition study of tumor growth in vivo: [00227] SCID mice or nude mice (weighing about 18 g at the beginning of the

experiment) were randomly divided into groups by the software in order to achieve close average weights between groups and control the bias within the allowable range. The mice were injected BTK cell lines (TMD-8, WSU-DLCL2 and DoHH-2) for tumor formation . Inhibitors were administered orally once or twice a day, a total of 14 days, 21 days or 28 days. Body weights and tumor volume were recorded. Xenograft Tumor Models inoculated with TMD-8, or DoHH2, or WSU-DLCL2 tumor cell lines: [00228] TMD-8 is a sensitive human diffuse large B-cell lymphoma cell line, and DoHH2 is a more difficult to treat human follicular lymphoma cell line, while WSU-DLCL2 is a multi- drug resistant (MDR) human non-Hodgkin's lymphoma cell line. Drug combination therapies provide better efficacies in all three tumor models than single targeted agent alone. [00229] Compounds (Compounds 3, 9, 14 and others as shown in the charts) and its combinations were evaluated against tumor growth in xenograft models in female CB-17 SCID mice. The TMD-8, DoHH2, WSU-DLCL2 tumor cells were maintained in vitro as a suspension culture in RPMI-1640 medium supplemented with 10% heat inactivated fetal calf serum at 37 ºC in an atmosphere of 5% CO₂ in air. The tumor cells were routinely subcultured twice weekly. The cells growing in an exponential growth phase were harvested and counted for tumor inoculation. Each mouse was inoculated subcutaneously at the right flank with the tumor cells (10 x 10⁶) in 0.2 ml of PBS with Matrigel (1:1) for tumor development. The treatments were started after the average tumor size reached approximately 100-200 mm³. Each group consisted of 6-10 tumor-bearing mice. The testing article (vehicle, compound or combination) was orally administrated to the mice according to the predetermined doses for 14- days or 21-days. Animal body weight and tumor volume were measured every 2- or 3-days throughout the treatment. Adjuvant-induced Arthritis AA model: [00230] The combination of Compounds 3 and 14 was evaluated in adjuvant-induced arthritis (AA) model in female Lewis rats. All rats except the normal group were immunized with complete Freund’s adjuvant (CFA) subcutaneously at the left hind paw to induce arthritis at day 0. At 6 days post immunization, some rats started to display clinical symptoms of arthritis, e.g. erythema and swelling. At day 13, the immunized animals were re-grouped to 7 groups, including vehicle, Compound 3 (5 mg/kg)/Compound 14 (0.5 mg/kg) BID. treatment, Compound 3 (15 mg/kg)/Compound 14 (1.5 mg/kg) BID treatment, Compound 3 (30 mg/kg)/Compound 14 (3 mg/kg) QD treatment, Compound 3 (5 mg/kg) BID treatment, Compound 14 (0.5 mg/kg) BID treatment, and a positive control (Compound 11, 3 mg/kg, BID treatment) groups, based on body weight and clinical scores. The treatments were given orally for 3 consecutive weeks. The body weight, paw volume and clinical score were monitored every other day after day 13 throughout the course of the study. At the terminal point, right hind paws were collected for histopathology analysis with H.E. staining. Collagen-induced Arthritis (CIA) Model:

[00231] The combination of Compounds 3 and 12 was evaluated in collagen induced arthritis (CIA) mouse model in Male DBA/1 mice. The animals were divided into 8 groups, including a normal, a vehicle, five treatment groups: All animals (except the normal group) were immunized with 200 µg of bovine collagen (type II) on day 0 and day 21. Seven days (day 28) after boosting immunization, animals started to show symptoms of disease with an average clinical score around 1. On the same day, immunized mice were randomly divided into 7 groups: Compound 3 (1.5 mg/kg) and Compound 14 (0.15 mg/kg) combination treatment BID group, Compound 3 (4.5 mg/kg) and Compound 14 (0.45 mg/kg) combination treatment BID group, Compound 3 (1.5 mg/kg) and Compound 14 (0.15 mg/kg) combination treatment QD group, Compound 3 (1.5 mg/kg) single treatment QD group, Compound 14 (0.15 mg/kg) single treatment QD group, and a positive control group (0.2 mg/kg of dexamethasone), and start to dosing and treatment. The treatments were given orally for 2 consecutive weeks. Body weight and clinical score were monitored through the study (recorded three times a week started after second immunization). At the end of the study, animals were euthanized and both hind paws were collected for histopathology analysis. [00232] As shown in Figure 4, although the administration of an mTOR kinase inhibitor (e.g., Compound 14) led to tumor disappearance in TMD-8 diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) mice model after 15 days of treatment, the tumor rebounded after treatment was stopped after day 15. Surprisingly, no tumor rebound was observed when the mTOR kinase inhibitor was administered in combination with a BTK inhibitor (e.g., Compound 3). In comparison, as shown in Figures 2-4, the DLBCL tumor did not disappear when the combination of the BTK inhibitor and an IMiD (e.g., Compounds 15 and 16) was administered, when the combination of the BTK inhibitor and a PI3K kinase inhibitor (e.g., Compound 8) was administered, when the combination of the IMiD and the PI3K kinase inhibitor was

administered, or when the combination of the BTK inhibitor, the IMiD and the PI3K kinase inhibitor was administered. [00233] As shown in Figure 5, the triple combination of a BTK inhibitor (e.g., Compound 3), an mTOR kinase inhibitor (e.g., Compound 14), and an IMiD (e.g., Compound 15) led to tumor disappearance in TMD-8 mice model after 9 days of treatment and, unexpectedly, the tumor did not rebound after treatment was stopped after day 12 and completed regression was observed throughout the rest of the 21-day period. [00234] As shown in Figure 12, the triple combination of a BTK inhibitor (e.g.,

Compound 3), an mTOR kinase inhibitor (e.g., Compound 14), and a Bcl-2 inhibitor (e.g., Compound 12) led to tumor disappearance in TMD-8 mice model after 8 days of treatment and, unexpectedly, the tumor did not rebound after treatment was stopped and completed regression was observed throughout the rest of the 14-day period. In comparison, the DLBCL tumor did not disappear when only the mTOR kinase inhibitor and the Bcl-2 inhibitor were administered in combination, when only the BTK inhibitor and the Bcl-2 inhibitor were administered in combination, or when the BTK inhibitor and the Bcl-2 inhibitor were administered in combination with a PI3K kinase inhibitor (e.g., Compound 8). [00235] As shown in Figures 6 and 7, the administration of a BTK inhibitor (e.g., Compound 3) and an mTOR kinase inhibitor (e.g., Compound 14) performed better than the administration of the BTK inhibitor alone in terms of controlling tumor growth in DoHH2 follicular lymphoma (FL) mice model. Surprisingly, when the BTK inhibitor and the mTOR kinase inhibitor were administered in combination with an IMiD (e.g., Compound 15), tumor growth in DoHH2 mice model was reduced to a minimal level. Such synergistic effects were reproduced in two separate experiments (Figures 6 and 7). [00236] As shown in Figures 8, the efficacy of Compound 3 in WSU-DLCL2 non- Hodgkin's lymphoma mice model is in line with the efficacy of Ibrutinib, an FDA-approved BTK inhibitor. As shown in Figure 9, the combination of a BTK inhibitor (e.g., Compound 3), an mTOR kinase inhibitor (e.g., Compound 14), and an IMiD (e.g., Compound 15) at a total of 21 mg/kg/day for all three drugs combined were able to reduce tumor growth in WSU-DLCL2 mice model. In comparison, EZH2 inhibitor EPZ-6438, which is currently undergoing clinical trial, achieved a similar effect against the WSU-DLCL tumor only by gavage to mice at a very high dose of 480 mg/kg/day (see Knutson et al., Mol. Cancer Ther, 2014, 13 :842-854, Figure 4A).

[00237] Moreover, Figure 10 demonstrates that the efficacy of the triple combination therapy against TMD-8 diffuse large B-cell lymphoma remains substantially consistent at various doses of the individual ingredients. Furthermore, Figures 11 demonstrates that the efficacy of the triple combination therapy against DoHH2 follicular lymphoma is not limited to Compound 3 but applicable to other BTK inhibitors (e.g., Ibrutinib) as well.

[00238] As shown in Figure 13, the combination of a BTK inhibitor (e.g., Compound 3) and an mTOR kinase inhibitor (e.g., Compound 14) at various doses synergistically reduced the paw volume of AA rats model, exhibiting efficacies similar to the positive control (Tofactinib). Such treatment effects are absent from rats treated with Compound 3 alone or Compound 14 alone.

[00239] As shown in Figure 15, the combination of a BTK inhibitor (e.g., Compound 3) and an mTOR kinase inhibitor (e.g., Compound 14) at various doses synergistically reduced the clinical score of CIA mice model, exhibiting efficacies similar to the positive control

(Dexamethasone). Such treatment effects are absent from mice treated with Compound 3 alone or Compound 14 alone.

[00240] Additional data of the BTK Compounds are shown in the tables below. Table 13 below demonstrates that low dose combination is synergistic against tumor cells and has shown synthetic lethality. At much lower dose than each single agent, the triple combination of Compounds 3, 14, and 15 resulted in completed tumor regression in 9 days while the double combination of Compounds 3 and 14 required 15 days. Single agent was much less effective or causing tumor to rebound when the administration of such agent is stopped. No tumor rebound was seen with the triple combination after tumor regression even when the administration of the triple combination is switched to the vehicle.

Table 13 Antitumor effect of Single-drug and combination therapy

[00241] Table 14 demonstrates that the lose dose combination is safe without any significant body weight changes between all treated and control groups.

[00242] Table 14. Animal weight for 3/14/15 and 9/14/15 combination therapy

[00243] Table 14 demonstrates that the lose dose combination at various doses of each agent is safe without any significant body weight changes between all treated and control groups.

[00244] Table 15. Animal weight for 3/14/15 combination therapy

[00246] Table 16 below shows that not all triple combinations have superior synergistic effects, further evidencing that the synergistic effects with the triple combinations of

BTK/mTOR/IMiD and BTK/mTOR/Bcl-2 are unexpected. Both in vitro and in vivo synergistic effects suppressing cancer cells have been achieved with these two triple combinations. [00247] Table 16 Lack of inhibition on tumor cell viability for triple combination of JAK1 inhibition with BTK/IMid, IMiD/PI3K and IMid/mTOR

[00248] Tables 17-20 below show that double combination is more effective than single agent alone in autoimmune animal models. [00249] Table 17 Paw volume of the animals during the AA study
