Patent Description:
Kirsten Rat Sarcoma <NUM> Viral Oncogene Homolog ("KRas") is a small GTPase and a member of the Ras family of oncogenes. KRas serves as a molecular switch cycling between inactive (GDP-bound) and active (GTP-bound) states to transduce upstream cellular signals received from multiple tyrosine kinases to downstream effectors regulating a wide variety of processes, including cellular proliferation (e.g., see <NPL>).

The role of activated KRas in malignancy was observed over thirty years ago (e.g., see <NPL>). Aberrant expression of KRas accounts for up to <NUM>% of all cancers and oncogenic KRas mutations that stabilize GTP binding and lead to constitutive activation of KRas and downstream signaling have been reported in <NUM> -<NUM>% of lung adenocarcinomas. (e.g., see <NPL>). Single nucleotide substitutions that result in missense mutations at codons <NUM> and <NUM> of the KRas primary amino acid sequence comprise approximately <NUM>% of these KRas driver mutations in lung adenocarcinoma, with a G12C transversion being the most common activating mutation (e.g., see <NPL>).

The well-known role of KRas in malignancy and the discovery of these frequent mutations in KRas in various tumor types made KRas a highly attractable target of the pharmaceutical industry for cancer therapy. Notwithstanding thirty years of large-scale discovery efforts to develop inhibitors of KRas for treating cancer, no KRas inhibitor to date has demonstrated sufficient safety and/or efficacy to obtain regulatory approval (e.g., see <NPL>).

Compounds that inhibit KRas activity are highly desirable and under investigation, including those that disrupt effectors such as guanine nucleotide exchange factors (e.g., see <NPL>) as well as those that target KRas G12C (e.g., see <NPL>). Clearly there remains a continued interest and effort to develop inhibitors of KRas, particularly inhibitors of activating KRas mutants, including KRas G12C.

<CIT> relates to combination therapies for treatment of cancers associated with mutations in the KRAS gene. Compositions comprising therapeutic agents for treatment of cancers associated with mutations in the KRAS gene are also disclosed therein.

<CIT> relates to compounds of structure (I) as defined therein or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt, tautomer, stereoisomer or prodrug thereof, having activity as inhibitors of G12C mutant KRAS protein. Methods associated with preparation and use of such compounds, pharmaceutical compositions comprising such compounds and methods to modulate the activity of G12C mutant KRAS protein for treatment of disorders, such as cancer, are also provided.

<CIT> relates to compounds that inhibit KRas G12C. In particular, compounds that irreversibly inhibit the activity of KRas G12C, pharmaceutical compositions comprising the compounds and methods of use therefor.

<NPL> relates to dasatinib and the sensitization of KRAS-mutant cancer cells to mitogen-activated protein kinase kinase inhibitor via inhibition of TAZ activity.

<CIT> relates to compounds of structure (I) as defined therein, or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt, stereoisomer or prodrug thereof, having activity as inhibitors of G12C mutant KRAS protein. Methods associated with preparation and use of such compounds, pharmaceutical compositions comprising such compounds and methods to modulate the activity of G12C mutant KRAS protein for treatment of disorders, such as cancer, are also provided.

<CIT> relates to compounds that inhibit KRas G12C. In particular, <CIT> relates to compounds that irreversibly inhibit the activity of KRas G12C, pharmaceutical compositions comprising the compounds and methods of use therefor.

While the KRas G12C inhibitors disclosed herein are potent inhibitors of KRas G12C enzymatic activity and exhibit single agent activity inhibiting the in vitro proliferation of cell lines harboring a KRas G12C mutation, the relative potency and/or observed maximal effect of any given KRas G12C inhibitor can vary between KRAS mutant cell lines. The reason or reasons for the range of potencies and observed maximal effect is not fully understood but certain cell lines appear to possess differing intrinsic resistance. Thus, there is a need to develop alternative approaches to maximize the potency, efficacy, therapeutic index and/or clinical benefit of KRas G12C inhibitors in vitro and in vivo.

The combination therapy of the present invention, in one aspect, synergistically increases the potency of KRas G12C inhibitors resulting in improved efficacy and therapeutic index of KRas G12C inhibitors disclosed herein. The combination therapy of the present invention, in another aspect, provides improved clinical benefit to patients compared to treatment with KRas G12C inhibitors disclosed herein as a single agent.

The Src-family of kinases is composed of nonreceptor tyrosine kinases with key roles in regulating signal transduction pathways that are involved in the regulation of cell proliferation and survival. All Src-family kinases share common functional domains including an N-terminal myristoylation sequence for membrane targeting, SH3 (Src homology domain <NUM>), SH2, and SH1 (protein kinase) domains. The Src-family of kinases includes nine members: Src, Yes, Fyn and Fgr forming the SrcA subfamily; Lck, Hck, Blk and Lyn in the SrcB subfamily, and Frk in its own subfamily. Several Src-family kinases are ubiquitously expressed in all tissue types whereas others are expressed in only a subset of tissue types (e.g., <NPL>).

Src-family kinases have been reported to be activated and/or overexpressed in various cancers (<NPL>) and, as such, have been a promising target for anti-cancer therapies. Several inhibitors having activity against Src-family kinases have been developed and a number have received marketing approval, particularly for hematological cancers.

In the present invention, the KRas G12C inhibitor is:
<CHM>
and pharmaceutically acceptable salts thereof.

The reference KRas G12C inhibitor:
<CHM>
is referred to herein as Reference Example No. <NUM>.

The KRas G12C inhibitor used in the present invention is:
<CHM>
(also referred to herein as Example No. <NUM>) or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof.

In one embodiment, the KRas G12C inhibitor compound used in the present invention includes trifluoroacetic acid salts of the compound.

Methods for manufacturing the KRas G12C inhibitors disclosed herein are known. For example, commonly owned published international <CIT> and <CIT> describe general reaction schemes for preparing KRas G12C inhibitors and also provide detailed synthetic routes for the preparation of each KRas G12C inhibitor disclosed herein.

The Src-family kinase inhibitors and the KRas G12C compounds of or pharmaceutically acceptable salts thereof of the present invention may be formulated into pharmaceutical compositions.

In another aspect, the invention provides pharmaceutical compositions comprising a Src-family kinase inhibitor and KRas G12C inhibitor according to the invention and a pharmaceutically acceptable carrier, excipient, or diluent for use in treating non-small cell lung cancer. The Src-family kinase inhibitor and KRas G12C inhibitor may be independently formulated by any method well known in the art and may be prepared for administration by any route, including, without limitation, parenteral, oral, sublingual, transdermal, topical, intranasal, intratracheal, or intrarectal. In certain embodiments, Src-family kinase inhibitor and/or KRas G12C inhibitor are administered intravenously in a hospital setting. In one embodiment, administration may be by the oral route.

The characteristics of the carrier will depend on the route of administration. As used herein, the term "pharmaceutically acceptable" means a non-toxic material that is compatible with a biological system such as a cell, cell culture, tissue, or organism, and that does not interfere with the effectiveness of the biological activity of the active ingredient(s). Thus, compositions may contain, in addition to the inhibitor, diluents, fillers, salts, buffers, stabilizers, solubilizers, and other materials well known in the art. The preparation of pharmaceutically acceptable formulations is described in, e.g., <NPL>.

As used herein, the term pharmaceutically acceptable salt refers to salts that retain the desired biological activity of the above-identified compounds and exhibit minimal or no undesired toxicological effects. Examples of such salts include acid addition salts formed with inorganic acids (for example, hydrochloric acid, hydrobromic acid, sulfuric acid, phosphoric acid, nitric acid), and salts formed with organic acids such as acetic acid, oxalic acid, tartaric acid, succinic acid, malic acid, ascorbic acid, benzoic acid, tannic acid, pamoic acid, alginic acid, polyglutamic acid, naphthalenesulfonic acid, naphthalenedisulfonic acid, and polygalacturonic acid. The compounds can also be administered as pharmaceutically acceptable quaternary salts known by those skilled in the art, which specifically include the quaternary ammonium salt of the formula --NR+Z-, wherein R is hydrogen, alkyl, or benzyl, and Z is a counterion, including chloride, bromide, iodide, -O-alkyl, toluenesulfonate, methylsulfonate, sulfonate, phosphate, or carboxylate (such as benzoate, succinate, acetate, glycolate, maleate, malate, citrate, tartrate, ascorbate, benzoate, cinnamoate, mandeloate, benzyloate, and diphenylacetate).

The active compound is included in the pharmaceutically acceptable carrier or diluent in an amount sufficient to deliver to a patient a therapeutically effective amount without causing serious toxic effects in the patient treated. In one embodiment, a dose of the active compound for all of the above-mentioned conditions is in the range from about <NUM> to <NUM>/kg, for example <NUM> to <NUM>/kg per day, and as a further example <NUM> to about <NUM> per kilogram body weight of the recipient per day. A typical topical dosage will range from <NUM>-<NUM>% wt/wt in a suitable carrier. The effective dosage range of the pharmaceutically acceptable derivatives can be calculated based on the weight of the parent compound to be delivered. If the derivative exhibits activity in itself, the effective dosage can be estimated as above using the weight of the derivative, or by other means known to those skilled in the art.

The Src-family kinase inhibitor and the KRas G12C inhibitor can be formulated into separate or individual dosage forms which can be co-administered one after the other. Another option is that if the route of administration is the same (e.g. oral) two active compounds can be formulated into a single form for co-administration, both methods of co-administration, however, being part of the same therapeutic treatment or regimen.

The pharmaceutical compositions comprising a Src-family kinase inhibitor and/or a KRas G12C inhibitor for use in the methods may be for simultaneous, separate or sequential use. In one embodiment, the Src-family kinase inhibitor is administered prior to administration of the KRas G12C inhibitor of the present invention. In another embodiment, the Src-family kinase inhibitor is administered after administration of the KRas G12C inhibitor compound of the present invention. In another embodiment, the Src-family kinase inhibitor is administered at about the same time as administration of the KRas G12C inhibitor compound of the present invention.

Separate administration of each inhibitor, at different times and by different routes, in some cases would be advantageous. Thus, the components in the combination i.e. the KRas G12C inhibitor or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof and the Src-family kinase inhibitor, need not be necessarily administered at essentially the same time or in any order.

Oncology drugs are typically administered at the maximum tolerated dose ("MTD"), which is the highest dose of drug that does not cause unacceptable side effects. In one embodiment, the KRas G12C inhibitor and the Src-family kinase inhibitor are each dosed at their respective MTDs. In one embodiment, the KRas G12C inhibitor is dosed at its MTD and the Src-family kinase inhibitor is dosed in an amount less than its MTD. In one embodiment, the KRas G12C inhibitor is dosed at an amount less than its MTD and the Src-family kinase inhibitor is dosed at its MTD. In one embodiment, the KRas G12C inhibitor and the Src-family kinase inhibitor are each dosed at less than their respective MTDs. The administration can be so timed that the peak pharmacokinetic effect of one compound coincides with the peak pharmacokinetic effect of the other.

In one embodiment, a single dose of KRas G12C inhibitor of the present invention or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof is administered per day (i.e., in about <NUM> hour intervals) (i.e., QD). In another embodiment, two doses of the KRas G12C inhibitor of the present invention or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof are administered per day (i.e., BID). In another embodiment, three doses of the KRas G12C inhibitor of the present invention are administered per day (i.e., TID).

In one embodiment, the Src-family kinase inhibitor is administered QD. In another embodiment, the Src-family kinase inhibitor is administered BID. In another embodiment, the Src-family kinase inhibitor of the invention is administered TID.

In one embodiment, a single dose of KRas G12C inhibitor of the present invention or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof and Src-family kinase inhibitor are each administered once daily.

The Src-family inhibitor used in the present invention is dasatinib (N-(<NUM>-chloro-<NUM>-methylphenyl)-<NUM>-((<NUM>-(<NUM>-(<NUM>-hydroxyethyl)piperazin-<NUM>-yl)-<NUM>-methylpyrimidin-<NUM>-yl)amino)thiazole-<NUM>-carboxamide). Other reference inhibitors of Src-family kinases include: ponatinib (<NUM>-(imidazo[<NUM>,<NUM>-b]pyridazin-<NUM>-ylethynyl)-<NUM>-methyl-N-(<NUM>-((<NUM>-methylpiperazin-<NUM>-yl)methyl)-<NUM>-(trifluoromethyl)phenyl)benzamide); vandetanib (N-(<NUM>-bromo-<NUM>-fluorophenyl)-<NUM>-methoxy-<NUM>-((<NUM>-methylpiperidin-<NUM>-yl)methoxy)quinazolin-<NUM>-amine); bosutinib (<NUM>-((<NUM>,<NUM>-dichloro-<NUM>-methoxyphenyl)amino)-<NUM>-methoxy-<NUM>-(<NUM>-(<NUM>-methylpiperazin-<NUM>-yl)propoxy)quinoline-<NUM>-carbonitrile); saracatinib (N-(<NUM>-chlorobenzo[d][<NUM>,<NUM>]dioxol-<NUM>-yl)-<NUM>-(<NUM>-(<NUM>-methylpiperazin-<NUM>-yl)ethoxy)-<NUM>-((tetrahydro-<NUM>-pyran-<NUM>-yl)oxy)quinazolin-<NUM>-amine); KX2-<NUM> (N-benzyl-<NUM>-(<NUM>-(<NUM>-(<NUM>-morpholinoethoxy)phenyl)pyridin-<NUM>-yl)acetamide); bafetinib (N-[<NUM>-(<NUM>,<NUM>'-bipyrimidin-<NUM>-ylamino)-<NUM>-methylphenyl]-<NUM>-[<NUM>(S)-(dimethylamino)pyrrolidin-<NUM>-ylmethyl]-<NUM>-(trifluoromethyl)benzamide; SU6656 ((Z)-N,N-dimethyl-<NUM>-oxo-<NUM>-((<NUM>,<NUM>,<NUM>,<NUM>-tetrahydro-<NUM>-indol-<NUM>-yl)methylene)indoline-<NUM>-sulfonamide); PP1 (<NUM>-(tert-butyl)-<NUM>-(p-tolyl)-<NUM>-pyrazolo[<NUM>,<NUM>-d]pyrimidin-<NUM>-amine); and WH-<NUM>-<NUM> (<NUM>,<NUM>-dimethylphenyl (<NUM>,<NUM>-dimethoxyphenyl)(<NUM>-((<NUM>-(<NUM>-methylpiperazin-<NUM>-yl)phenyl)amino)pyrimidin-<NUM>-yl)carbamate); and KX-<NUM>(N-benzyl-<NUM>-[<NUM>-[<NUM>-[<NUM>-(<NUM>-morpholinyl)ethoxy]phenyl]pyridin-<NUM>-yl]acetamide).

period of time). In one embodiment, the KRAS inhibitor is orally administered once daily. In one embodiment, the KRAS inhibitor is orally administered twice daily.

One skilled in the art will recognize that, both in vivo and in vitro trials using suitable, known and generally accepted cell and/or animal models are predictive of the ability of a test compound of the combination or the combination to treat or prevent a given disorder.

One skilled in the art will further recognize that human clinical trials including first-inhuman, dose ranging and efficacy trials, in healthy patients and/or those suffering from a given disorder, may be completed according to methods well known in the clinical and medical arts.

In one embodiment, the addition of a Src-family kinase inhibitor synergistically increases the activity of KRas G12C inhibitor of the present invenion or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof against cancer or cancer cell lines expressing KRas G12C. Any method for determining whether two compounds exhibit synergy may be used for determining the synergistic effect of the combination.

Several mathematical models have been developed to determine whether two compounds act synergistically, i.e., beyond a mere additive effect. For instance, Loewe Additivity (<NPL>), Bliss Independence (<NPL>), Highest Single Agent, ZIP (<NPL>) and other models (<NPL>; and <NPL>) are well known models in the pharmaceutical industry and may be used to calculate a "synergy score" that indicates whether synergy was detected and the magnitude of such synergy. Combining these synergy scores produces a composite synergy score which may be used to evaluate and characterize the KRas G12C inhibitor of the present invention or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof in combination with a Src-family kinase inhibitor.

In general, the mathematical models use data obtained from single agent values to determine the predicted additive effect of the combination which is compared to the observed effect for the combination. If the observed effect is greater than the predicted effect, the combination is deemed to be synergistic. For example, the Bliss independence model compares the observed combination response (YO) with the predicted combination response (YP), which was obtained based on the assumption that there is no effect from drug-drug interactions. Typically, the combination effect is declared synergistic if YO is greater than YP.

In some embodiments, "synergistic effect" as used herein refers to combination of a KRAS inhibitor or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof, and a Src-family kinase inhibitor or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof producing an effect, for example, any of the beneficial or desired results including clinical results or endpoints as described herein, which is greater than the sum of the effect observed when a KRas G12C inhibitor or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof (e.g., a compound selected from compound Example Nos. <NUM>-<NUM>, or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof, e.g., Example No. <NUM>, <NUM>, <NUM> or <NUM> or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof) and a Src-family kinase inhibitor or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof are administered alone. The KRas G12C inhibitor is a compound No. <NUM> or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof. The Src inhibitor is dasatinib. The therapeutic combination comprises a therapeutically effective amount of Example No. <NUM> and dasatinib.

In some embodiments, the methods provided herein can result in a <NUM>% to <NUM>% (e.g., <NUM>% to <NUM>%, <NUM>% to <NUM>%, <NUM>% to <NUM>%, <NUM> to <NUM>%, <NUM> to <NUM>%, <NUM>% to <NUM>%,

treatment or not receiving a treatment).

In some embodiments of any of the medical uses described herein, before treatment with the compositions for use according to the invention, the patient was treated with one or more of a chemotherapy, a targeted anticancer agent, radiation therapy, and surgery, and optionally, the prior treatment was unsuccessful; and/or the patient has been administered surgery and optionally, the surgery was unsuccessful; and/or the patient has been treated with a platinum-based chemotherapeutic agent, and optionally, the patient has been previously determined to be non-responsive to treatment with the platinum-based chemotherapeutic agent; and/or the patient has been treated with a kinase inhibitor, and optionally, the prior treatment with the kinase inhibitor was unsuccessful; and/or the patient was treated with one or more other therapeutic agent(s).

The present disclosure also relates to a kit comprising a Src-family kinase inhibitor and a KRas G12C inhibitor combination of the present invention for use according to the present invention. Also provided is a kit comprising a Src-family kinase inhibitor or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof, and a KRas G12C inhibitor of the present invention, or a pharmaceutical salt thereof (compound Example No. <NUM> or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof) for use in treating non-small cell lung cancer.

In a related aspect, the disclosure provides a kit containing a dose of a Src-family kinase inhibitor and dose of a KRas G12C inhibitor combination of the present invention or a pharmaceutical salt thereof (compound Example No. <NUM> or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof) in an amount effective to inhibit proliferation of cancer cells, particularly non-small cell lung cancer cells, in a subject. The kit in some cases includes an insert with instructions for administration of the a Src-family kinase inhibitor and a KRas G12C inhibitor of the present invention. The insert may provide a user with one set of instructions for using the a Src-family kinase inhibitor in combination with a KRas G12C inhibitor of the present invention.

This Example illustrates that the combination of exemplary KRas G12C inhibitor compounds of the present invention and a Src-family kinase inhibitor synergistically inhibits the growth of tumor cell lines that express KRas G12C.

A panel of <NUM> lung cancer and <NUM> colorectal cell lines harboring KRas G12C mutations was assembled to determine whether combining Src-family kinase inhibitors with exemplary KRas G12C inhibitors disclosed herein results in synergistic activity. The collection included NCI-H1373 (ATCC CRL-<NUM>); NCI-H1792 (ATCC CRL-<NUM>); NCI-H2030 (ATCC CRL-<NUM>); NCI-H2122 (ATCC CRL-<NUM>); HCC1171 (KCLB <NUM>); HCC44 (DSMZ ACC-<NUM>); LU99 (RCB1900); SW1573 (ATCC CRL-<NUM>) and SW837 (ATCC CCL-<NUM>).

Assays for determining the synergy score for the pairwise combinations for each cell line were performed in triplicate. Three <NUM>-well plates plus an additional <NUM> wells of a separate <NUM>-well control plate for determining baseline luminescence were seeded with <NUM> cells/well of a particular cell line in a total volume of 90µl of a suitable growth medium for that cell line, e.g., RPMI <NUM> medium supplemented with <NUM>% FBS and any cell line specific reagents need for growth. The plates were incubated overnight at <NUM> in a <NUM>% CO<NUM> atmosphere.

To each of the designated baseline wells, 30µl of Cell-Titer Glo reagent (CTG; Promega Corporation) was added to each well and the plates were incubated for <NUM> with shaking at room temperature. Baseline luminescence was quantitated using a BMG ClarioStar multimode plate reader according to the manufacturer's instructions.

A series of working stock 1000X drug dilutions in <NUM>% DMSO was prepared that includes an <NUM> point single agent dilution of the exemplary KRas G12C inhibitor of Formula (I) and a <NUM>-point single agent dilution of the Src-family kinase inhibitor. The dilutions used for the KRas G12C inhibitor and the Src-family kinase inhibitor varied for each individual compound but were in the range of <NUM>- to <NUM>-fold/serial dilution.

KRas G12C inhibitors tested in this Example included:.

A 10X intermediate dosing plate was prepared in serum free RPMI medium that contains arrayed single agent dilutions of exemplary KRas G12C inhibitor or the Src-family kinase inhibitor. In addition, a matrix of <NUM> dilution combinations of exemplary KRas G12C inhibitor and the Src-family kinase inhibitor was prepared as test samples.

To each corresponding well of the three <NUM>-well plates seeded with the appropriate cell line above, <NUM>µL of each 10X single agent and the <NUM> combinations of the dose matrix was added and the plates were incubated for <NUM> hours at <NUM> in <NUM>% CO<NUM> atmosphere. A <NUM>µL aliquot of Cell-Titer Glo reagent (CTG) was added to each test well, the plates were incubated for <NUM> with shaking at room temperature, and luminescence was quantitated using a BMG ClarioStar multimode plate reader according to the manufacturer's instructions.

The raw data and metadata files were used as input files to calculate percent effect for each treatment condition and analyzed using four independent mathematical reference models designed to determine whether the two test compounds demonstrate synergy: Loewe additivity, Bliss independence, Highest Single Agent and ZIP.

The output of the data from each mathematical model is the assignment of a relative synergy score. The data reported in Table <NUM> are the aggregate sum of the Loewe additivity, Bliss independence, Highest Single Agent and ZIP scores ("Composite Synergy Score").

A composite score of greater than or equal to <NUM> was interpreted as a synergistic hit whereas a composite score between <NUM> and <NUM> indicates potential synergy. These results demonstrate that a synergistic effect was observed for the combination of a variety of Src-family inhibitors with KRas G12C inhibitor of the present invention in a majority of cell lines harboring a KRas G12C mutation listed in Table <NUM> that are less sensitive to single agent KRas G12C inhibitor thereby increasing the sensitivity of the KRas G12C cell line to the KRas G12C inhibitor combination.

Immunocompromised nude/nude mice were inoculated in the right hind flank with cells or patient derived tumor samples harboring a KRas G12C mutation. When tumor volumes reached between <NUM> - <NUM><NUM> in size, the mice were divided into four groups of <NUM>-<NUM> mice each. The first group was administered vehicle only. The second group was administered a single agent dose of the KRas G12C inhibitor at a concentration that yielded a maximal biological effect or a less than maximal biological effect, depending on the cell line and the single agent activity, that does not result in complete tumor regression. The third group was administered a single agent dose of the Src-family kinase inhibitor at a concentration that yielded a maximal biological effect or a less than maximal biological effect, depending on the cell line and the single agent activity, that also does not result in complete tumor regression. The fourth group was administered the single agent dose of the KRas G12C inhibitor in combination with the single agent dose of the Src-family kinase inhibitor. The treatment period varied from cell line to cell line but typically was between <NUM>-<NUM> days. Tumor volumes were measured using a caliper every two - three days and tumor volumes were calculated by the formula: <NUM> × (Length × Width)<NUM>. A greater degree of tumor growth inhibition for the combination in this model demonstrates that the combination therapy is likely to have a clinically meaningful benefit to treated subjects relative to treatment with only a KRas G12C inhibitor.

For example, on Day <NUM>, <NUM> nude/nude mice were inoculated in the right hind limb with <NUM> × <NUM><NUM> H2122 cells. When tumor volume reached ~<NUM><NUM> (Day <NUM>), <NUM> mice in each of the four groups were administered p. daily for <NUM> days: vehicle only (<NUM>% Captisol), <NUM>/kg of the KRas G12C inhibitor Compound <NUM> (<NUM>% Captisol in <NUM> citrate buffer, pH <NUM>), <NUM>/kg of the Src-family kinase inhibitor Dasatinib (<NUM>% methylcellulose/<NUM>% Tween-<NUM>), or <NUM>/kg of the KRas G12C inhibitor Compound <NUM> and <NUM>/kg of Dasatinib. Tumor volumes were measured at pre-specified days set forth below. Tumor volumes for the five mice per group were averaged and are reported in Table <NUM>.
