Definitions

• the present invention provides novel bifunctional compounds for proteolytically degrading Hematopoietic progenitor kinase (HPK1) and methods for treating diseases modulated by HPKl.
• HPK1 Hematopoietic progenitor kinase
• Immuno-oncology utilizes inhibitor antibodies against the immune checkpoint receptors CTLA4, PD-1 and PD-L 1 . Targeted disruption of these checkpoint pathways releases the immune cell from key regulatory pathways, allowing for a boost in the immune response against cancer cells.
• Current therapies utilizing these antibodies are highlighted by both significant and durable response to many different cancers but also by low overall response rates ( ⁇ 25%). Improvement in these response rates could benefit from a combination of checkpoint blockade with other immune activating agents or cell based therapies.
• Hematopoietic progenitor kinase 1 a STE20 ser/thr kinase from the germinal center family of kinases, regulates the function of diverse immune populations including T cells, B cells, and dendritic cells (Hu et al., Gens Dev, 1996; Alzabin et al., J Immunol 2009).
• HPK1 serves as a negative regulator of T cell receptor (TCR) signaling (Liou et al., Immunity 2000; Sauer et al., JBC 2001) by phosphorylating SLP76 on serine 376, which induces the association of SLP76 with 14-3-3 proteins, and leads to the disassociation of the signaling complex (Di Bartolo et al., JEM 2007).
• TCR T cell receptor
