     FIELD 
     This disclosure provides novel bifunctional compounds for proteolytically degrading targeted Bruton&#39;s tyrosine kinases (BTK) and methods for treating diseases modulated by BTK. 
     BACKGROUND 
     B cell receptor (BCR) signaling controls B cell development, as well as mature B cell activation, signaling, and survival. Mis-regulation of the BCR signaling pathway is associated with numerous disease indications involving B cell function, and targeting B cells and BCR signaling has clear therapeutic potential (Woyach, et al.;  Blood,  120(6); 1175-1184, 2012). For example, depletion of B cells with monoclonal antibodies targeting CD20 has significant effects in treatment of B cell malignancies and auto-immune and inflammatory diseases (Cang, et al.;  J Hematolo Oncol.  5; 64, 2012.). 
     BTK is a member of the TEC family of kinases and is a crucial signaling hub in the BCR pathway. Mutations in BTK result in X-linked agammaglobulinaemia (XLA), in which B cell maturation is impaired, resulting in reduced immunoglobulin production (Hendriks, et al.;  Expert Opin Ther Targets  15; 1002-1021, 2011). The central role of BTK in B cell signaling and function makes BTK an attractive therapeutic target for B cell malignancies as well as autoimmune and inflammatory diseases. Ibrutinib, a covalent inhibitor of BTK, has been approved to treat chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL), mantle cell lymphoma (MCL) and other B cell malignancies, as well as graft-versus-host disease (GvHD) (Miklos, et al.;  Blood,  120(21); 2243-2250, 2017). Currently, ibrutinib and second-generation BTK inhibitors are being investigated for oncology and immune-related indications such as rheumatoid arthritis (Akinleye, et al.;  J of Hematolo Oncol.  6: 59, 2013; Liu, et al.;  J Pharm and Exper Ther.  338(1): 154-163. 2011; Di Paolo, et al.;  Nat Chem Biol.  7(1): 41-50, 2011). 
     As an alternative to stoichiometric inhibition, proteolytic degradation of BTK could have dramatic consequences for B cell function by effectively blocking BCR signaling. Removal of BTK protein would eliminate BTK kinase activity as well as any protein interaction or scaffolding function of BTK. Specific degradation of BTK could be accomplished using heterobifunctional small molecules to recruit BTK to a ubiquitin ligase and thus promoting ubiquitylation and proteasomal degradation of BTK. Thalidomide derivatives, such as lenalidomide or pomalidomide, can be used to recruit potential substrates to cereblon (CRBN), a component of a ubiquitin ligase complex. This unique therapeutic approach could present a mechanism of action for interfering with BTK activity and BCR signaling that is distinct from the mechanism of stoichiometric BTK inhibition. Furthermore, this degradative approach could effectively target the C481S mutated form of BTK, which mutation has been clinically observed and confers resistance to inhibition by ibrutinib (Woyach, et al.;  Blood,  120(6): 1175-1184, 2012.). 
     Presently, there remains a need for bifunctional molecules that can induce the in vivo proteolytic degradation of BTK via a ubiquitin proteolytic pathway.

     DETAILED DESCRIPTION 
     Provided herein are methods of using bifunctional compounds that induce the proteolytic degradation of Bruton&#39;s tyrosine kinase (BTK) via a ubiquitin proteolysis pathway. 
     As used herein, the following definitions shall apply unless otherwise indicated. 
     Definitions 
     For purposes herein, the chemical elements are identified in accordance with the Periodic Table of the Elements, CAS version, Handbook of Chemistry and Physics, 75th Ed. Additionally, general principles of organic chemistry are described in “Organic Chemistry,” Thomas Sorrell, University Science Books, Sausalito: 1999, and “March&#39;s Advanced Organic Chemistry,” 5th Ed., Ed.: Smith, M. B. and March, J., John Wiley &amp; Sons, New York: 2001, the entire contents of which are hereby incorporated by reference. 
     As described herein, “protecting group” refers to a moiety or functionality that is introduced into a molecule by chemical modification of a functional group in order to obtain chemoselectivity in a subsequent chemical reaction. Standard protecting groups are provided in Wuts and Greene: “Greene&#39;s Protective Groups in Organic Synthesis,” 4th Ed, Wuts, P. G. M. and Greene, T. W., Wiley-Interscience, New York: 2006. 
     As used herein, a “heterocycloalkyl” group refers to a 3-10 membered mono- or bicylic (fused, bridged, or spiro) (e.g., 5- to 10-membered mono- or bicyclic) saturated ring structure, in which one or more of the ring atoms is a heteroatom (e.g., nitrogen (N), oxygen (O), sulfur (S), or combinations thereof). Non-limiting examples of a heterocycloalkyl group include piperidyl, piperazyl, tetrahydropyranyl, tetrahydrofuryl, 1,4-dioxolanyl, 1,4-dithianyl, 1,3-dioxolanyl, oxazolidyl, isoxazolidyl, morpholinyl, thiomorpholinyl, octahydrobenzofuryl, octahydrochromenyl, octahydrothiochromenyl, octahydroindolyl, octahydropyrindinyl, decahydroquinolinyl, octahydrobenzo[b]thiopheneyl, 2-oxa-bicyclo[2.2.2]octyl, 1-aza-bicyclo[2.2.2]octyl, 3-aza-bicyclo[3.2.1]octyl, decahydro-2,7-naphthyridine, 2,8-diazaspiro[4.5]decane, 2,7-diazaspiro[3.5]nonane, octahydropyrrolo[3,4-c]pyrrole, octahydro-1H-pyrrolo[3,4-b]pyridine, and 2,6-dioxa-tricyclo[3.3.1.0 3,7 ]nonyl. A monocyclic heterocycloalkyl group can be fused with a phenyl moiety to form structures, such as tetrahydroisoquinoline, that would be categorized as heteroaryls. 
     A “heterocycloalkenyl” group, as used herein, refers to a mono- or bicylic (e.g., 5- to 10-membered mono- or bicyclic) non-aromatic ring structure having one or more double bonds, and wherein one or more of the ring atoms is a heteroatom (e.g., N, O, or S). Monocyclic and bicyclic heterocycloaliphatics are numbered according to standard chemical nomenclature. 
     A heterocycloalkyl or heterocycloalkenyl group can be optionally substituted with one or more substituents such as phospho, aliphatic (e.g., alkyl, alkenyl, or alkynyl), cycloaliphatic, (cycloaliphatic)aliphatic, heterocycloaliphatic, (heterocycloaliphatic)aliphatic, aryl, heteroaryl, alkoxy, (cycloaliphatic)oxy, (heterocycloaliphatic)oxy, aryloxy, heteroaryloxy, (araliphatic)oxy, (heteroaraliphatic)oxy, aroyl, heteroaroyl, amino, amido (e.g., (aliphatic)carbonylamino, (cycloaliphatic)carbonylamino, ((cycloaliphatic) aliphatic)carbonylamino, (aryl)carbonylamino, (araliphatic)carbonylamino, (heterocycloaliphatic)carbonylamino, ((heterocycloaliphatic)aliphatic)carbonylamino, (heteroaryl)carbonylamino, or (heteroaraliphatic)carbonylamino], nitro, carboxy (e.g., HOOC-alkoxycarbonyl, or alkylcarbonyloxy), acyl (e.g., (cycloaliphatic)carbonyl, ((cycloaliphatic)aliphatic)carbonyl, (araliphatic)carbonyl, (heterocycloaliphatic)carbonyl, ((heterocycloaliphatic)aliphatic)carbonyl, or (heteroaraliphatic)carbonyl), nitro, cyano, halo, hydroxy, mercapto, sulfonyl (e.g., alkylsulfonyl or arylsulfonyl), sulfinyl (e.g., alkylsulfinyl), sulfanyl (e.g., alkylsulfanyl), sulfoxy, urea, thiourea, sulfamoyl, sulfamide, oxo, or carbamoyl. 
     As described herein, compounds herein optionally may be substituted with one or more substituents, such as those illustrated generally herein, or as exemplified by particular classes, subclasses, and species of the description. 
     As used herein, the phrase “stable or chemically feasible” refers to compounds that are not substantially altered when subjected to conditions to allow for their production, detection, and their recovery, purification, and use for one or more of the purposes disclosed herein. In some embodiments, a stable compound or chemically feasible compound is one that is not substantially altered when kept at a temperature of 40° C. or less, in the absence of moisture or other chemically reactive conditions, for at least a week. 
     As used herein, an “effective amount” is defined as the amount required to confer a therapeutic effect on the treated patient, and is typically determined based on age, surface area, weight, and condition of the patient. The interrelationship of dosages for animals and humans (based on milligrams per meter squared of body surface) is described by Freireich et al., Cancer Chemother. Rep., 50: 219 (1966). Body surface area may be approximately determined from height and weight of the patient. See, e.g., Scientific Tables, Geigy Pharmaceuticals, Ardsley, N.Y., 537 (1970). As used herein, “patient” refers to a mammal, including a human. 
     As used herein, the term “about” means within +10% of a value. For example, a dose that is about 100 mg/kg provides that the dose can be 90 mg/kg to 110 mg/kg. By way of further example, an amount of an additional therapeutic agent ranging from about 50% to about 100% provides that the amount of additional therapeutic agent ranges from 45-55% to 90-110%. A person of skill in the art will appreciate the scope and application of the term “about” when used to describe other values disclosed herein. 
     Unless otherwise stated, structures depicted herein also are meant to include all isomeric (e.g., enantiomeric, diastereomeric, and geometric (or conformational)) forms of the structure; for example, the (R)- and (S)-configurations for each asymmetric center, (Z)- and (E)-double bond isomers, and (Z)- and (E)-conformational isomers. Therefore, single stereochemical isomers as well as enantiomeric, diastereomeric, and geometric (or conformational) mixtures of the present compounds are within the scope of the description. Alternatively, as used herein, “enantiomeric excess (ee)” refers to a dimensionless mol ratio describing the purity of chiral substances that contain, for example, a single stereogenic center. For instance, an enantiomeric excess of zero would indicate a racemic (e.g., 50:50 mixture of enantiomers, or no excess of one enantiomer over the other). By way of further example, an enantiomeric excess of ninety-nine would indicate a nearly stereopure enantiomeric compound (i.e., large excess of one enantiomer over the other). The percentage enantiomeric excess, % ee=([(R)-compound]−[(S)-compound])/([(R)-compound]+[(S)-compound])×100, where the (R)-compound&gt;(S)-compound; or % ee=([(S)-compound]−[(R)-compound])/([(S)-compound]++[(R)-compound])×100, where the (S)-compound&gt;(R)-compound. Moreover, as used herein, “diastereomeric excess (de)” refers to a dimensionless mol ratio describing the purity of chiral substances that contain more than one stereogenic center. For example, a diastereomeric excess of zero would indicate an equimolar mixture of diastereoisomers. By way of further example, diastereomeric excess of ninety-nine would indicate a nearly stereopure diastereomeric compound (i.e., large excess of one diastereomer over the other). Diastereomeric excess may be calculated via a similar method to ee. As would be appreciated by a person of skill, de is usually reported as percent de (% de). % de may be calculated in a similar manner to % ee.

     Formulations and Administration 
     Pharmaceutical Compositions 
     The compounds described herein can be formulated into pharmaceutical compositions that further comprise a pharmaceutically acceptable carrier, diluent, adjuvant, or vehicle. In one embodiment, this disclosure provides a pharmaceutical composition comprising a compound described above, and a pharmaceutically acceptable carrier, diluent, adjuvant, or vehicle. In one embodiment, this disclosure is a pharmaceutical composition comprising an effective amount of a compound of this disclosure or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof and a pharmaceutically acceptable carrier, diluent, adjuvant, or vehicle. Pharmaceutically acceptable carriers include, for example, pharmaceutical diluents, excipients, or carriers suitably selected with respect to the intended form of administration, and consistent with conventional pharmaceutical practices. 
     According to another embodiment, the description provides a composition comprising a compound herein or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof and a pharmaceutically acceptable carrier, adjuvant, or vehicle. Pharmaceutical compositions of this description comprise a therapeutically effective amount of a compound of described herein wherein a “therapeutically effective amount” is an amount that is (a) effective to measurably degrade BTK (or reduce the amount of BTK) in a biological sample or in a patient; or (b) effective in treating and/or ameliorating a disease or disorder that is mediated by BTK. 
     The term “patient,” as used herein, means an animal, alternatively a mammal, and alternatively a human. 
     It also will be appreciated that certain compounds of this disclosure can exist in free form for treatment, or where appropriate, as a pharmaceutically acceptable derivative (e.g., a salt) thereof. According to this disclosure, a pharmaceutically acceptable derivative includes, but is not limited to, pharmaceutically acceptable prodrugs, salts, esters, salts of such esters, or any other adduct/educt or derivative that upon administration to a patient in need is capable of providing, directly or indirectly, a compound as otherwise described herein, or a metabolite or residue thereof. 
     As used herein, the term “pharmaceutically acceptable salt” refers to those salts that are, within the scope of sound medical judgement, suitable for use in contact with the tissues of humans and lower animals without undue toxicity, irritation, allergic response, and the like. 
     Pharmaceutically acceptable salts are well known in the art. For example, S. M. Berge et al., describe pharmaceutically acceptable salts in detail in  J Pharmaceutical Sciences  1977, 66, 1-19, incorporated herein by reference. Pharmaceutically acceptable salts of the compounds of this description include those derived from suitable inorganic and organic acids and bases. Examples of pharmaceutically acceptable, nontoxic acid addition salts include salts of an amino group formed with inorganic acids such as hydrochloric acid, hydrobromic acid, phosphoric acid, sulfuric acid, and perchloric acid; or with organic acids such as acetic acid, oxalic acid, maleic acid, tartaric acid, citric acid, succinic acid, or malonic acid; or by using other methods used in the art such as ion exchange. Other pharmaceutically acceptable salts include adipate, alginate, ascorbate, aspartate, benzenesulfonate, benzoate, bisulfate, borate, butyrate, camphorate, camphorsulfonate, citrate, cyclopentanepropionate, digluconate, dodecylsulfate, ethanesulfonate, formate, fumarate, glucoheptonate, glycerophosphate, gluconate, hemisulfate, heptanoate, hexanoate, hydroiodide, 2-hydroxy-ethanesulfonate, lactobionate, lactate, laurate, lauryl sulfate, malate, maleate, malonate, methanesulfonate, 2-naphthalenesulfonate, nicotinate, nitrate, oleate, oxalate, palmitate, pamoate, pectinate, persulfate, 3-phenylpropionate, phosphate, picrate, pivalate, propionate, stearate, succinate, sulfate, tartrate, thiocyanate, p-toluenesulfonate, undecanoate, valerate salts, and the like. Salts derived from appropriate bases include alkali metal, alkaline earth metal, ammonium and N + (C 1 -4 alkyl) 4  salts. This description also envisions the quaternization of any basic nitrogen-containing groups of the compounds disclosed herein. Water or oil-soluble or dispersable products may be obtained by such quaternization. Representative alkali or alkaline earth metal salts include sodium, lithium, potassium, calcium, magnesium, and the like. Further pharmaceutically acceptable salts include, when appropriate, nontoxic ammonium, quaternary ammonium, and amine cations formed using counterions such as halide, hydroxide, carboxylate, sulfate, phosphate, nitrate, lower alkyl sulfonate, and aryl sulfonate. 
     A pharmaceutically acceptable carrier may contain inert ingredients that do not unduly inhibit the biological activity of the compounds. The pharmaceutically acceptable carriers should be biocompatible, for example, non-toxic, non-inflammatory, non-immunogenic, or devoid of other undesired reactions or side-effects upon the administration to a subject. Standard pharmaceutical formulation techniques can be employed. 
     The pharmaceutically acceptable carrier, adjuvant, or vehicle, as used herein, includes any and all solvents, diluents, or other liquid vehicle, dispersion or suspension aids, surface active agents, isotonic agents, thickening or emulsifying agents, preservatives, solid binders, lubricants, and the like, as suited to the particular dosage form desired. Remington&#39;s Pharmaceutical Sciences, Sixteenth Edition, E. W. Martin (Mack Publishing Co., Easton, Pa., 1980) discloses various carriers used in formulating pharmaceutically acceptable compositions and known techniques for the preparation thereof. Except insofar as any conventional carrier medium is incompatible with the compounds described herein, such as by producing any undesirable biological effect or otherwise interacting in a deleterious manner with any other component(s) of the pharmaceutically acceptable composition, the use of such conventional carrier medium is contemplated to be within the scope of this description. As used herein, the phrase “side effects” encompasses unwanted and adverse effects of a therapy (e.g., a prophylactic or therapeutic agent). Side effects are always unwanted, but unwanted effects are not necessarily adverse. An adverse effect from a therapy (e.g., prophylactic or therapeutic agent) might be harmful, uncomfortable, or risky. Side effects include, but are not limited to, fever, chills, lethargy, gastrointestinal toxicities (including gastric and intestinal ulcerations and erosions), nausea, vomiting, neurotoxicities, nephrotoxicities, renal toxicities (including such conditions as papillary necrosis and chronic interstitial nephritis), hepatic toxicities (including elevated serum liver enzyme levels), myelotoxicities (including leukopenia, myelosuppression, thrombocytopenia and anemia), dry mouth, metallic taste, prolongation of gestation, weakness, somnolence, pain (including muscle pain, bone pain, and headache), hair loss, asthenia, dizziness, extra-pyramidal symptoms, akathisia, cardiovascular disturbances, and sexual dysfunction. 
     Some examples of materials that can serve as pharmaceutically acceptable carriers include, but are not limited to, ion exchangers, alumina, aluminum stearate, lecithin, serum proteins (such as human serum albumin), buffer substances (such as tween 80, phosphates, glycine, sorbic acid, or potassium sorbate), partial glyceride mixtures of saturated vegetable fatty acids, water, salts or electrolytes (such as protamine sulfate, disodium hydrogen phosphate, potassium hydrogen phosphate, sodium chloride, or zinc salts), colloidal silica, magnesium trisilicate, polyvinyl pyrrolidone, polyacrylates, waxes, polyethylene-polyoxypropylene-block polymers, methylcellulose, hydroxypropyl methylcellulose, wool fat, sugars such as lactose, glucose, and sucrose; starches such as corn starch and potato starch; cellulose and its derivatives such as sodium carboxymethyl cellulose, ethyl cellulose, and cellulose acetate; powdered tragacanth; malt; gelatin; talc; excipients such as cocoa butter and suppository waxes; oils such as peanut oil, cottonseed oil, safflower oil, sesame oil, olive oil, corn oil, and soybean oil; glycols such a propylene glycol or polyethylene glycol; esters such as ethyl oleate and ethyl laurate; agar; buffering agents such as magnesium hydroxide and aluminum hydroxide; alginic acid; pyrogen-free water; isotonic saline; Ringer&#39;s solution; ethyl alcohol, and phosphate buffer solutions, as well as other non-toxic compatible lubricants such as sodium lauryl sulfate and magnesium stearate, as well as coloring agents, releasing agents, coating agents, sweetening, flavoring, and perfuming agents. Preservatives and antioxidants can also be present in the composition, according to the judgment of the formulator. 
     As used herein, the term “measurably degrade,” means a measurable reduction in (a) BTK activity, between a sample comprising a compound of this description and a BTK and an equivalent sample comprising a BTK in the absence of said compound; or (b) the concentration of the BTK in a sample over time. 
     Administration 
     The compositions of this disclosure are administered orally. The pharmaceutically acceptable compositions of this description may be orally administered in any orally acceptable dosage form including, but not limited to, capsules, tablets, aqueous suspensions, or solutions. In the case of tablets for oral use, carriers commonly used include lactose and corn starch. Lubricating agents, such as magnesium stearate, are also typically added. For oral administration in a capsule form, useful diluents include lactose and dried cornstarch. When aqueous suspensions are required for oral use, the active ingredient is combined with emulsifying and suspending agents. If desired, certain sweetening, flavoring, or coloring agents also may be added. 
     Liquid dosage forms for oral administration include, but are not limited to, pharmaceutically acceptable emulsions, microemulsions, solutions, suspensions, syrups, and elixirs. In addition to the active compounds herein, the liquid dosage forms may contain inert diluents commonly used in the art such as, for example, water or other solvents, solubilizing agents and emulsifiers such as ethyl alcohol, isopropyl alcohol, ethyl carbonate, ethyl acetate, benzyl alcohol, benzyl benzoate, propylene glycol, 1,3-butylene glycol, dimethylformamide, oils (in particular, cottonseed, groundnut, corn, germ, olive, castor, and sesame oils), glycerol, tetrahydrofurfuryl alcohol, polyethylene glycols and fatty acid esters of sorbitan, and mixtures thereof. Besides inert diluents, the oral compositions also can include adjuvants such as wetting agents, emulsifying and suspending agents, sweetening, flavoring, and perfuming agents. 
     Solid dosage forms for oral administration include capsules, tablets, pills, powders, and granules. In such solid dosage forms, the active compound herein is mixed with at least one inert, pharmaceutically acceptable excipient or carrier such as sodium citrate or dicalcium phosphate and/or a) fillers or extenders such as starches, lactose, sucrose, glucose, mannitol, and silicic acid; b) binders such as carboxymethylcellulose, alginates, gelatin, polyvinylpyrrolidinone, sucrose, and acacia; c) humectants such as glycerol; d) disintegrating agents such as agar-agar, calcium carbonate, potato or tapioca starch, alginic acid, certain silicates, and sodium carbonate; e) solution retarding agents such as paraffin; f) absorption accelerators such as quaternary ammonium compounds; g) wetting agents such as, for example, cetyl alcohol and glycerol monostearate; h) absorbents such as kaolin and bentonite clay; and i) lubricants such as talc, calcium stearate, magnesium stearate, solid polyethylene glycols, sodium lauryl sulfate, and mixtures thereof. In the case of capsules, tablets, and pills, the dosage form also may comprise buffering agents. 
     Solid compositions of a similar type also may be employed as fillers in soft and hard-filled gelatin capsules using such excipients as lactose or milk sugar as well as high molecular weight polyethylene glycols and the like. The solid dosage forms of tablets, dragees, capsules, pills, and granules can be prepared with coatings and shells such as enteric coatings and other coatings well known in the pharmaceutical formulating art. Solid dosage forms optionally may contain opacifying agents. These solid dosage forms also can be of a composition such that they release the active ingredient(s) only, for example, in a certain part of the intestinal tract, optionally, in a delayed manner. Examples of embedding compositions that can be used include polymeric substances and waxes. Solid compositions of a similar type also may be employed as fillers in soft and hard-filled gelatin capsules using such excipients as lactose or milk sugar as well as high molecular weight polethylene glycols and the like. 
     The active compounds herein also can be in micro-encapsulated form with one or more excipients as noted above. The solid dosage forms of tablets, dragees, capsules, pills, and granules can be prepared with coatings and shells such as enteric coatings, release controlling coatings, and other coatings well known in the pharmaceutical formulating art. In such solid dosage forms the active compound may be admixed with at least one inert diluent such as sucrose, lactose, or starch. Such dosage forms also may comprise, as is normal practice, additional substances other than inert diluents, for example, tableting lubricants and other tableting aids such a magnesium stearate and microcrystalline cellulose. In the case of capsules, tablets and pills, the dosage forms also may comprise buffering agents. They may optionally contain opacifying agents and also can be of a composition such that they release the active ingredient(s) only, for example, in a certain part of the intestinal tract, optionally, in a delayed manner. Examples of embedding compositions that can be used include polymeric substances and waxes. 
     The compounds of the description are formulated in dosage unit form for ease of administration and uniformity of dosage. As used herein, the phrase “dosage unit form” refers to a physically discrete unit of agent appropriate for the patient to be treated. It will be understood, however, that the total daily usage of the compounds and compositions of this disclosure will be decided by the attending physician within the scope of sound medical judgment. The specific effective dose level for any particular patient or organism will depend upon a variety of factors including the disorder being treated and the severity of the disorder; the activity of the specific compound employed; the specific composition employed; the age, body weight, general health, sex, and diet of the patient; the time of administration, route of administration, and rate of excretion of the specific compound employed; the duration of the treatment; drugs used in combination or coincidental with the specific compound employed, and like factors well known in the medical arts. 
     The amount of the compounds of this disclosure that may be combined with the carrier materials to produce a composition in a single dosage form will vary depending upon the host treated, the particular mode of administration, and other factors. The compositions should be formulated so that a dosage of between 0.01-100 mg/kg body weight/day of the compound or inhibitor can be administered to a patient receiving these compositions. 
     Depending upon the particular condition, or disease, to be treated or prevented, additional therapeutic agents, which are normally administered to treat or prevent that condition, also may be present in the compositions of this disclosure. As used herein, additional therapeutic agents that are normally administered to treat or prevent a particular disease, or condition, are known as “appropriate for the disease, or condition, being treated.” 
     For example, chemotherapeutic agents or other anti-proliferative agents may be combined with the compounds of this disclosure to treat proliferative diseases and cancer. Examples of known chemotherapeutic agents include, but are not limited to, PI3K inhibitors (e.g., idelalisib and copanlisib), BCL-2 inhibitors (e.g., venetoclax), BTK inhibitors (e.g., ibrutinib and acalabrutinib), etoposide, CD20 antibodies (e.g., rituximab, ocrelizumab, obinutuzumab, ofatumumab, ibritumomab tiuxetan, tositumomab, and ublituximab), aletuzumab, bendamustine, cladribine, doxorubicin, chlorambucil, prednisone, midostaurin, lenalidomide, pomalidomide, checkpoint inhibitors (e.g., ipilimumab, nivolumab, pembolizumab, atezolizumab, avelumab, durvalumab), engineered cell therapy (e.g., CAR-T therapy—Kymriah®, Yescarta®), Gleevec™, adriamycin, dexamethasone, vincristine, cyclophosphamide, fluorouracil, topotecan, taxol, interferons, and platinum derivatives. 
     And, in some instances, radiation therapy is administered during the treatment course wherein a compound of this disclosure (or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof) is administered to a patient in need thereof. 
     Other examples of agents with which the compounds or inhibitors of this disclosure also may be combined include, without limitation, treatments for Alzheimer&#39;s Disease such as Aricept® and Excelon®; treatments for Parkinson&#39;s Disease such as L-DOPA/carbidopa, entacapone, ropinrole, pramipexole, bromocriptine, pergolide, trihexephendyl, and amantadine; agents for treating Multiple Sclerosis (MS) such as beta interferon (e.g., Avonex® and Rebif®), Copaxone®, and mitoxantrone; treatments for asthma such as albuterol and Singulair®; agents for treating schizophrenia such as zyprexa, risperdal, seroquel, and haloperidol; anti-inflammatory agents such as corticosteroids, TNF blockers, IL-1 RA, azathioprine, cyclophosphamide, and sulfasalazine; immunomodulatory and immunosuppressive agents such as cyclosporin, tacrolimus, rapamycin, mycophenolate mofetil, interferons, corticosteroids, cyclophophamide, azathioprine, and sulfasalazine; neurotrophic factors such as acetylcholinesterase inhibitors, MAO inhibitors, interferons, anti-convulsants, ion channel blockers, riluzole, and anti-Parkinsonian agents; agents for treating cardiovascular disease such as beta-blockers, ACE inhibitors, diuretics, nitrates, calcium channel blockers, and statins; agents for treating liver disease such as corticosteroids, cholestyramine, interferons, and anti-viral agents; agents for treating blood disorders such as corticosteroids, anti-leukemic agents, and growth factors; and agents for treating immunodeficiency disorders such as gamma globulin.

     Biological Example 1 
     Cellular BTK Degradation Assay 
     BTK levels are determined using Cisbio Total-BTK HTRF (Homologous Time-Resolved Fluorescence) kit (63ADK064PEG) according to the manufacturer&#39;s protocol. Briefly, cells are incubated in 1× supplied lysis buffer for 30 minutes. In an opaque white low volume 96-well plate (Cisbio, 66PL96005), cell lysate is combined with two different specific BTK antibodies, one conjugated with Eu 3+ -Cryptate FRET donor and one conjugated with d2 FRET acceptor. Assay controls include wells containing cell lysate with only the Eu 3+ -Cryptate FRET donor antibody and wells containing both HTRF antibodies and lysis buffer without cells or control lysate provided by Cisbio. HTRF ratio is calculated as (acceptor signal at 665 nm/donor signal at 620 nm)×104. Background HTRF levels are determined from the control well containing the donor, but no acceptor, antibody. Background HTRF levels are subtracted from all samples. Readouts are reported as HTRF levels relative to HTRF levels of DMSO-treated cells. Four-parameter non-linear regressions were performed in GraphPad Prism 7.02 to obtain DC50 values. 
     Biological Example 2 
     Human Dosing of Compound 149 
     Compound 149 was administered to human patients in a Phase 1a/lb trial investigating safety and tolerability in relapsed and refractory B cell malignancies. Compound 149 was administered as a once daily oral dose first in an accelerated Phase 1a dose escalation starting at 100 mg on Day 1. The first dose levels are explored in a single patient cohort until a grade 2 adverse event has been observed. Thereafter, a traditional 3+3 escalation design is used. This 100 mg starting dose was predicted to provide similar exposure as that observed in non-human primate studies. Once a dose is selected based on all safety, efficacy, pharmacokinetic, and pharmacodynamic data available, the trial will expand in up to five expansion cohorts. 
     Seven patients were screened, one patient completed the first cohort, and five patients were enrolled in the second cohort. Four patients had chronic lymphocytic leukemia or small cell lymphocytic leukemia. One patient had mantle cell lymphoma. One patient had Waldenstrom&#39;s macroglobulinemia. All patients had at least two prior lines of therapy. All patients had failed ibrutinib therapy. Two patients had failed pirtobrutinib therapy. In the second cohort, one patient was removed from the study on Day 15. Two additional patients were then enrolled in the second cohort. 
     Plasma concentrations of compound 149 were measured and provided in  FIG.  1   . All patients showed rapid rise of concentrations and achieved steady state plasma concentrations by Day 8. 
     Plasma levels of Bruton&#39;s tyrosine kinase were measured by flow cytometry in circulating B cells, including disease cells and provided in  FIG.  2   . This mean fluorescence intensity directly correlates with the levels of BTK protein observed in a Western blot. Compound 149 dramatically decreases the level of BTK protein in all patients treated. The patient&#39;s BTK levels start at different levels yet, the treatment results in the same level of degradation by Day 15, which is the first measurement after steady state concentration is achieved. 
     BTK levels are normalized in each patient to 100% and provided in  FIG.  3   . The 100 mg patient achieved greater than 80% BTK degradation at steady state. All patients at the 200 mg dose level achieved greater than 90% degradation at steady state. 
     The data is summarized in Table 3 below which provides the average percent BTK degradation during the last 2 weeks of the first cycle (namely Days 15, 22, and 29). In Cohort 2 (200 mg), well above 90% of BTK degradation was achieved during the steady state. 
     In humans, compound 149 is well-tolerated with no dose limiting toxicities at 100 mg and 200 mg per dose. Greater than 90% BTK degradation was observed in all patients at 200 mg per dose.

     Biological Example 3 
     Oral Dosing of Compound 149 
     This trial was conducted at 12 centers, including Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center, MD Anderson Cancer Center, City of Hope (Duarte, Calif.), National Institutes of Health Clinical Center, Sarah Cannon Research Institute, Colorado Blood Cancer Institute, Florida Cancer Specialists, Tennessee Oncology, University of California (San Francisco), University of California (Irvine), OSU Wexner Medical Center, and Swedish Cancer Institute (Seattle). 
     Patients were treated at four different dosage levels of Compound 149: dose level 1 (100 mg), dose level 2 (200 mg), dose level 3 (300 mg), and dose level 4 (400 mg). The objective of the study was to assess safety and tolerability, to identify maximum tolerated dose, and to evaluate PK/PD. 
     Patients evaluated in this study were treated for diseases or disorders selected from the group consisting of: chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) with BTK C481 mutation (n 20); CLL without BTK C481 mutation (n˜20); mantle cell lymphoma (MCL), marginal zone lymphoma (MZL), Waldenstrom&#39;s macroglobulinemia (WM) (n˜20); follicular lymphoma (FL) (n˜20); and diffuse large B cell lymphoma (DLBCL) (n˜20). Tables 4 and 5 below summarize patient characteristics. Heavily pretreated patient population, including double-refractory CLL patients.

     Efficacy Evaluations 
     All the patients with CLL with prior therapy dosed with 100 mg of Compound 149 showed clinical activity (see,  FIG.  4   ). As shown in  FIG.  5   , data from all evaluable CLL patients showed nodal reductions and/or lymphocytosis observed in all patients treated, responses in patients with resistance mutations to covalent and non-covalent BTK inhibitors, and responses from double-refractory patient who had prior BCL2 inhibitor therapy. Data shown in  FIG.  6    confirms that Compound 149 is a potent BTK degrader to solve inhibitor resistance observed with prior therapy. Compound 149 kills lymphoma cells harboring BTK-C481S mutation and degrades multiple novel BTK mutations emerging post BTKi-treatment. 
     Safety Observations 
     Safety population included 19 subjects, and data is summarize in Table 6 below. Two subjects were assigned to the 100 mg cohort but treatment was not entered in the electronic data capture (EDC) at time of extract. Dose limiting toxicity was observed at 300 mg in a CLL patient; a cognitive AE was believed to be related to immunomodulatory activity. Two AEs of lower grade atrial fibrillation were observed at 100 mg in a patient with MCL, and at 200 mg in a patient with CLL.

     Biological Example 4 
     Flow Cytometry Assay for BTK Degradation 
     Following informed consent, peripheral blood was obtained from all patients for baseline and post Compound 149 therapy assessment of BTK and Ikaros degradation. Patient blood (5 mL) was drawn and immediately fixed in a 5 mL CytoChex™ BCT tube and stored at ambient temperature until assessment via flow cytometry. Blood samples were analyzed within 3 days post sample collection at Precision for Medicine. Additional blood was also drawn into 8 mL BD Vacutainer® CPT™ Cell Preparation Tube with Sodium Citrate. Peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) were processed, and viability frozen according to manufacturer&#39;s protocol. 
     For flow staining, 1 mL blood was treated with 1×BD PharmLyse to facilitate red blood cell lysing. Remaining leukocytes were washed with staining buffer (SB) containing Dulbecco&#39;s Phosphate Buffered Saline (DPBS) without Calcium or Magnesium, 1% bovine serum albumin (BSA), 10 mM HEPES, 1 mM EDTA, and 0.01% sodium azide. Cell pellet was stained with fluorophore-conjugated cell surface markers antibodies against CD45, CD3, CD4, CD8, CD14, CD16, CD19 and CD56 prepared in BD Brilliant Stain buffer for 25 minutes at room temperature. 
     Following cell surface staining, cells were washed twice with SB and then fixed and permeabilized for one hour at room temperature with eBioscience FoxP3/Transcription Factor Staining Buffer set according to the manufacturer&#39;s instructions. Washed cells were then stained with unconjugated BTK antibody made in 1×Permeabilization buffer) for 30 minutes. This was followed by another 30-minute incubation with anti-rabbit Alexa488 secondary antibody also prepared in 1× Permeabilization buffer for BTK detection. After incubation, the cells were washed twice with 1× Permeabilization Buffer and then resuspended in SB. Control samples containing fluorescence minus two markers (FM2) were used for background controls and were stained for all surface markers in the panel excluding BTK. The FM2 does not include the antibody to detect BTK. 
     The samples were transferred to BD TruCount tubes before acquisition on a BD LSR Fortessa using predetermined BD FACS Diva software (v8.0) application settings. Data analysis was performed using FlowJo software (v10). 
     Single lymphocytes were gated for B cells (CD19+CD3−), and the geometric mean fluorescence intensity (MFI) of BTK was calculated. The MFI of B cells in FM2 control was used to quantify background staining. Percent BTK degradation was calculated using the following equation: 
       % Degradation 100−[100*(BTK MFI x )/(BTK MFI y )]
 
       % Remaining 100*(BTK MFI x )/(BTK MFI y ) 
     BTK MFI x =BTK MFI at time point of interest 
     BTK MFI y =BTK MFI at pre-dose

     Results 
     Once a Day Oral Compound 149 Treatment Induced Rapid and Sustained BTK Degradation Inpatients 
     Pharmacodynamic assessment of BTK degradation was performed using a validated 10-color flow cytometry assay. Serial peripheral blood was collected from consented patients upon receiving Compound 149 treatment. Peripheral blood from patients were processed and BTK degradation was assessed using a validated 10-color flow panel. B cells (CD19+CD3−) were gated and BTK MFI were measured. B cell BTK MFI from no antibody control FM2 sample was used to subtract background from each sample. % BTK remaining was calculated relative to Baseline as described in the Methods section. 
     In all patients receiving once daily oral regimen of Compound 149, a time-dependent decrease of BTK levels as measured by flow cytometry using BTK MFI in CD19+CD3− B cells were observed (see,  FIG.  7   ). In patients 1, 2, 3, and 4, 62.8-75.1% BTK degradation was observed at 24 hours after receiving the initial dose of Compound 149. Maximum BTK degradation was achieved at steady state Cycle 1 Day 15 where an average of 90.1% BTK degradation (Table 8) was observed in all patients. This level of degradation was sustained through Cycle 1 Day 29 prior to starting Cycle 2.

     Biological Example 5 
     Oral Dosing of Compound 149 
     A heavily pre-treated patient with non-GCB (ABC subtype) DLBCL was enrolled in Compound 149 phase 1 dose-escalation. The patient was treated at a single dosage level of Compound 149: dose level 1 (300 mg) for a period of 5 months and ongoing. The objective of the study was to assess safety and tolerability, to identify maximum tolerated dose, and to evaluate PK/PD.

     Response 
     The patient&#39;s response was checked at 8 weeks and 16 weeks. Per Lugano criteria, there was a complete response at 8 weeks, which was then confirmed at the subsequent 16-week assessment. As shown in  FIG.  8   , a time-dependent decrease of BTK levels as measured by flow cytometry using BTK MFI in CD19+B cells was observed. Gradual BTK degradation was observed until day 8 day of receiving the 300 mg dose of Compound 149, wherein the maximum BTK degradation was achieved on the 8 th  day. Consistent with its design, Compound 149 also degraded Ikaros and Aiolos which is responsible for the compound&#39;s immunomodulatory activity. Further, this level of BTK degradation was sustained through day 29. In addition, as shown in  FIG.  9   , a complete confirmed response at the 16-week assessment was seen through the FDG-PET CT Scan Disease Assessment as compared to the screening image. In the 16-week assessment image, maximum standard uptake value (Max SUV) reduced from 17.6 at screening to 2.5 at the 16-week assessment time with the Deauville five-point scale (5PS; Barrington et al., 2010, Eur J Nucl Med Mol Imaging 37(10):1824-33) reducing from 5 to 2. Thus, this data confirms that compounds having a dual mechanism of action (BTK and immunomodulatory activity) provides clinical benefit to refactory patients with certain non-Hodgkin&#39;s lymphoma such as DLBCL. Further, it was noted that no dose limiting toxicity (DLT) or serious adverse event (SAE) was observed.
