In particular, the present invention relates to a combination comprising a proteasome inhibitor selected from the group consisting of: a boronate, anepoxyketone, a peptide aldehydeand a β-lactone protease inhibitor; and a cyclic peptidethat comprisesan exposed Arg-Gly-Asp (RGD)moiety; wherein the combination is formulated for oral administration of both the proteasome inhibitor and cyclic peptide components. More particularly, the present invention relates to a combination comprising a proteasome inhibitor selected from the group consisting ofbortezomib, delanzomib,ixazomib, carfilzomib, oprozomib, MG132and marizomib; and a cyclic peptidethat comprisesan exposed Arg-Gly-Asp (RGD)moiety; wherein the combination is formulated for oral administration of both the proteasome inhibitor and cyclic peptide components. COMBINATION THERAPY FIELD OF THE INVENTION [01] The present invention relates to a combination comprising a proteasome inhibitor and a cyclic peptide that comprises an exposed Arg-Gly-Asp (RGD) moiety; wherein the combination is formulated for oral administration of both the proteasome inhibitor and cyclic peptide components. In particular, the present invention relates to a combination comprising a proteasome inhibitor selected from the group consisting of: a boronate, an epoxyketone, a peptide aldehyde and a β-lactone protease inhibitor; and a cyclic peptide that comprises an exposed Arg-Gly-Asp (RGD) moiety; wherein the combination is formulated for oral administration of both the proteasome inhibitor and cyclic peptide components. More particularly, the present invention relates to a combination comprising a proteasome inhibitor selected from the group consisting of: bortezomib, delanzomib, ixazomib, carfilzomib, oprozomib, MG1 32 and marizomib; and a cyclic peptide that comprises an exposed Arg-Gly-Asp (RGD) moiety; wherein the combination is formulated for oral administration of both the proteasome inhibitor and cyclic peptide components. [02] The present invention relates to an oral combination that is useful as a medicament, for example in the treatment of hyper proliferative diseases, such as cancer. [03] The present invention also relates to a pharmaceutical composition formulated for oral administration comprising the combination and to kits comprising each component of the combination wherein each component of the kit is formulated for oral administration. BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION [04] Bortezomib (BTZ) is an anti-neoplastic agent which is licensed for intravenous injection (IV) or subcutaneous (SC) use. The structure of bortezomib is: [05] Bortezomib is a reversible inhibitor of the chymotrypsin-like activity of the 26S proteasome in mammalian cells. The 26S proteasome is a large protein complex that degrades ubiquitinated proteins. The ubiquitin-proteasome pathway plays an essential role in regulating the intracellular concentration of specific proteins, thereby maintaining homeostasis within cells. Inhibition of the 26S proteasome prevents this targeted proteolysis which can affect multiple signalling cascades within the cell. This disruption of normal homeostatic mechanisms can lead to cell death. Experiments have demonstrated that bortezomib is cytotoxic to a variety of cancer cell types in vitro. Bortezomib causes a delay in tumour growth in vivo in nonclinical tumour models, including multiple myeloma. [06] Data from in vitro, ex-vivo, and animal models with bortezomib suggest that it increases osteoblast differentiation and activity and inhibits osteoclast function. These effects have been observed in patients with multiple myeloma affected by an advanced osteolytic disease and treated with bortezomib. [07] Dorsey et al. J . Med Chem. 2008; 5 1 :1068-72 assessed the pharmacokinetics of bortezomib in CD-1 mice. Bortezomib was dosed at 4mg/kg PO was comparable to about half the AUC values compared with delivery of 0.8mg/kg intravenously. The estimated oral bioavailability of bortezomib was approximately 11% . Zhu et al. J . Med Chem 201 0 ; 53: 1990-9 also assessed the pharmacokinetics of bortezomib in Sprague-Dawley rats. The authors report oral Tmax, Cmax, AUC and other pharmacokinetic parameters for bortezomib. The calculated bioavailability of bortezomib in this study was 46% by comparison of the AUC for intravenous versus intra-gastric administration. [08] Delanzomib (DLZ), ([(1 R)-1 -[[(2S,3R)-3-Hydroxy-2-[[(6-phenylpyridin-2-yl)carbonyl]amino]- 1- oxobutyl]amino]-3-methylbutyl]boronic acid), is an anti-neoplastic agent for intravenous injection (IV), oral or subcutaneous (SC) use. The structure of delanzomib is: [09] Delanzomib is also a reversible inhibitor of the chymotrypsin-like activity of the 26S proteasome in mammalian cells. Experiments have demonstrated that delanzomib is cytotoxic to multiple myeloma cell lines in vitro (Piva et al. Blood 2008;1 11:2765-75, Dorsey et al. , J . Med Chem 2008;51 :1068-72). Delanzomib causes a reduction in tumour growth in vivo in nonclinical tumour models, including multiple myeloma (Sanchez et al., Br. J . Haematol 201 0 ;148:569-81 ) . The estimated oral bioavailability of bortezomib was approximately 39% (Dorsey et al). [01 0] Ixazomib (IXZ) is an anti-neoplastic agent for intravenous injection (IV), oral or subcutaneous use. Ixazomib is formulated with citric acid for clinical use: the citrate hydrolyses immediately on contact with plasma or aqueous solutions (Kupperman et al., Cancer Res. 201 0;70: 1970-80). The final formulation is termed ixazomib citrate, originally designated 'MLN9708', which contains the active drug component 'MLN2238' (ixazomib) and a citric acid moiety. [01 1] The structure of Ixazomib (MLN2238) ([(1 R)-1 -[[2-[(2,5- dichlorobenzoyl)amino]acetyl]amino]-3-methyl-butyl]boronic acid) is provided below: [01 2] The structure of Ixazomib citrate (MLN9708) (2,2'-{2-[(1 R)-1 -{[N-(2,5- Dichlorobenzoyl)glycyl]amino}-3-methylbutyl]-5-oxo-1 ,3,2-dioxaborolane-4,4-diyl} diacetic acid) is provided below: [01 3] Ixazomib is also a reversible inhibitor of the chymotrypsin-like activity of the 26S proteasome in mammalian cells. [01 4] Kupperman and co-workers (Kupperman et al. , Cancer Res. 201 0;70:1 970-80) describe the physiochemical, phamocokinetic, pharmacodynamic, antitumoral activity and interactions of ixazomib with the proteasome compared with bortezomib. Both bortezomib and ixazomib bind preferentially to the β5 site of the 20S proteasome, also binding to the β2 and β1 sites at higher concentrations. Although the affinity for the active sites in the proteasome is approximately equal for ixazomib and bortezomib, ixazomib was found to remain bound to the proteasome for a shorter time period. The proteasome dissociation half-life of ixazomib is approximately 18 minutes, whereas the dissociation half-life of bortezomib is approximately 110 minutes, i.e. ixazomib is released approximately 6-fold faster than bortezomib. Ixazomib is cytotoxic to a variety of cancer cell lines in vitro including melanoma, lung cancer and colorectal cancer cell lines. Ixazomib also exhibited antitumoral activity in vivo in several preclinical models. In CWR22 human prostate cancer xenografts, both bortezomib and ixazomib showed effective anti-tumoral activity at their maximum tolerated dose (MTD). Ixazomib proved more effective than bortezomib at half the MTD. In WSU-DLCL2 lymphoma xenograft model, ixazomib showed significant anti-tumoral activity whereas bortezomib was ineffective at its MTD.

  • Toward Personalized Treatment in Waldenström Macroglobulinemia
    | INDOLENT LYMPHOMA:HOW UNDERSTANDING DISEASE BIOLOGY IS INFLUENCING CLINICAL DECISION-MAKING | Toward personalized treatment in Waldenstrom¨ macroglobulinemia Jorge J. Castillo and Steven P. Treon Bing Center for Waldenstrom¨ Macroglobulinemia, Dana-Farber Cancer Institute, Harvard Medical School, Boston, MA Waldenstrom¨ macroglobulinemia (WM) is a rare lymphoma with 1000 to 1500 new patients diagnosed per year in the United States. Patients with WM can experience prolonged survival times, which seem to have increased in the last decade, but relapse is inevitable. The identification of recurrent mutations in the MYD88 and CXCR4 genes has opened avenues of research to better understand and treat patients with WM. These developments are giving way to per- sonalized treatment approaches for these patients, focusing on increasing depth and duration of response alongside lower toxicity rates. In the present document, we review the diagnostic differential, the clinical manifestations, and the pathological and genomic features of patients with WM. We also discuss the safety and efficacy data of alkylating agents, proteasome inhibitors, monoclonal antibodies, and Bruton tyrosine kinase inhibitors in patients with WM. Finally, we propose a genomically driven algorithm for the treatment of WM. The future of therapies for WM appears bright and hopeful, but we should be mindful of the cost-effectiveness and long-term toxicity of novel agents. Diagnostic considerations Learning Objectives The differential diagnosis of WM includes immunoglobulin M (IgM) • To understand recent advances on the biology of Waldenstrom¨ monoclonal gammopathy of undetermined significance; other macroglobulinemia IgM-secreting lymphomas, especially marginal zone lymphoma (MZL); • To review available and investigational agents for the treat- and the rare IgM multiple myeloma (MM).

  • Proteasome Inhibitors for the Treatment of Multiple Myeloma
    cancers Review Proteasome Inhibitors for the Treatment of Multiple Myeloma Shigeki Ito Hematology & Oncology, Department of Internal Medicine, Iwate Medical University School of Medicine, Yahaba-cho 028-3695, Japan; [email protected]; Tel.: +81-19-613-7111 Received: 27 December 2019; Accepted: 19 January 2020; Published: 22 January 2020 Abstract: Use of proteasome inhibitors (PIs) has been the therapeutic backbone of myeloma treatment over the past decade. Many PIs are being developed and evaluated in the preclinical and clinical setting. The first-in-class PI, bortezomib, was approved by the US food and drug administration in 2003. Carfilzomib is a next-generation PI, which selectively and irreversibly inhibits proteasome enzymatic activities in a dose-dependent manner. Ixazomib was the first oral PI to be developed and has a robust efficacy and favorable safety profile in patients with multiple myeloma. These PIs, together with other agents, including alkylators, immunomodulatory drugs, and monoclonal antibodies, have been incorporated into several regimens. This review summarizes the biological effects and the results of clinical trials investigating PI-based combination regimens and novel investigational inhibitors and discusses the future perspective in the treatment of multiple myeloma. Keywords: multiple myeloma; proteasome inhibitors; bortezomib; carfilzomib; ixazomib 1. Introduction Multiple myeloma (MM) remains an incurable disease. Over the last ten years, the availability of new drugs, such as the proteasome inhibitors (PIs), the immunomodulatory drugs (IMiDs), the monoclonal antibodies (MoAbs), and the histone deacetylase inhibitors, have greatly advanced the treatment and improved the survival of patients with MM [1–3]. Proteasome inhibition has emerged as a crucial therapeutic strategy in the treatment of MM.

    Waldenström Macroglobulinemia No. 20 in a series providing the latest information for patients, caregivers and healthcare professionals Introduction Highlights “Lymphoma” is the name for many different types of y Waldenström macroglobulinemia (WM) is a rare cancer that originate in lymphocytes (white blood cells). and slow-growing subtype of non-Hodgkin There are three types of lymphocytes: B lymphocytes lymphoma that affects white blood cells. (B cells), T lymphocytes (T cells) and natural killer (NK) cells. B lymphocytes make antibodies to fight infection; y A main characteristic of WM is the T lymphocytes have many functions, including helping overproduction of a monoclonal protein called B lymphocytes to make the antibodies that fight infection; “immunoglobulin M” (IgM). Immunoglobulin M and natural killer cells that attack cancer cells and viruses. can result in a thickening of the blood and may cause several other symptoms. Lymphocytes go through several stages of development. y Over 90 percent of WM patients have a They are created in the bone marrow and then move mutation in the MYD88 gene in their lymphoma through the blood to the lymphatic system. The final cells. The mutation turns on pathways that stage of B-lymphocyte development is a mature, sustain the growth and survival of WM cells. immunoglobulin-producing plasma cell. y Some patients with WM do not have symptoms Lymphoma may arise in any of these types of at diagnosis and may not require treatment lymphocytes but, in general, B-cell lymphomas are for years. In these cases, patients are closely more common than T-cell lymphomas. Lymphoma is monitored for symptoms in an approach known divided into two major categories: Hodgkin lymphoma as “watch and wait.” Active treatment is started (HL) and non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL).
