DISCLOSURES FOR CHARLES SAWYERS, M.D. Board of Directors of Novartis Co-founder of ORIC Pharmaceuticals Co-inventor of enzalutamide and apalutamide, entitled to royalties from UCLA Science advisor: Agios, Beigene, Blueprint, Column Group, Foghorn, Housey Pharma, Nextech, KSQ, Petra and PMV Co-founder of Seragon, purchased by Genentech/Roche in 2014 Non-profit activities: National Cancer Advisory Board; Science Trustee, CSHL RFP-luminal CK5 GFP-basal DAPI Overcoming resistance to molecularly targeted cancer therapy Charles L. Sawyers, M.D. Howard Hughes Medical Institute Human Oncology and Pathogenesis Program Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center The first gatekeeper mutation: T315I in chronic myeloid leukemia WILD-TYPE T315I MUTANT (MODEL) STI571 = imatinib (Gleevec) Gorre et al Science, 2001 Overcoming Resistance with Next Generation Kinase Inhibitors -longer response duration -reduced toxicity through selectivity for mutant allele Sequist et al Sci TM 2011; Chen et al J Med Chem 2018 A New Drug Resistance Challenge: Lineage Plasticity TP53WT, RB1WT TP53Alt, RB1Alt Normal Gland Fixed Lineage Lineage Plasticity (luminal) Antiandrogen (luminal/basal/NE) CRPC CRPC Tumor cells can change identity: -epithelial to mesenchymal (EMT) AR Dependent AR Independent -neuroendocrine (small cell, NEPC) (AR amplification/mutation (loss of luminal identity) GR bypass) Mu et al Science, 2017 Examples: lung cancer, prostate cancer, melanoma Can we solve these challenges with combination therapy? 1. Precedent from infectious disease (TB, HIV) 2. Emerging examples in targeted cancer therapy -RAF+MEK inhibitor is superior to RAF inhibitor alone -additional benefit of reduced side effects (squamous skin cancer, keratoacanthomas) -even more dramatic benefit in adjuvant setting -anti-CTLA4 + anti-PD1 in BRAF wild-type melanoma 3. Scientific rationale is compelling, but few examples have made it into practice. Why not? -combo toxicity is real (but manageable with new dose/schedule?) -heterogeneity may demand 3-4 drug combinations -treat early! Larkin et al NEJM 2014; Robert et al NEJM 2014; Long et al NEJM 2017.

The BBVA Foundation Frontiers of Knowledge Award in Biomedicine Goes to Tony Hunter, Joseph Schlessinger and Charles Sawyers
The BBVA Foundation Frontiers of Knowledge Award in Biomedicine goes to Tony Hunter, Joseph Schlessinger and Charles Sawyers for opening the door to the personalized treatment of cancer The winners represent the three steps in research leading to this advance: Tony Hunter discovered tyrosine kinases, Joseph Schlessinger identified the principle through which they function, and Charles Sawyers brought this knowledge to the clinic and the development of novel cancer therapies Their contributions served initially to treat a variety of leukemia, transforming it from a fatal into a chronic disorder, but have since given rise to effective therapies for lung and breast cancer, melanoma and lymphomas, among other conditions José Baselga, Physician-in-Chief at the Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center in New York and nominator of Charles Sawyers, described the contributions of the three laureates as marking “the birth of personalized anti-cancer medicine” Madrid, January 27, 2015.- The BBVA Foundation Frontiers of Knowledge Award in the Biomedicine category is shared in this seventh edition by Tony Hunter, professor and Director of the Salk Institute Cancer Center in La Jolla, California; Joseph Schlessinger, Chairman of the Department of Pharmacology at Yale University School of Medicine, New Haven, and Charles Sawyers, Human Oncology and Pathogenesis Program Chair at the Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center in New York, for “carving out the path that led to the development of a new class of successful cancer drugs.” For José Baselga, Physician-in-Chief
