Targeting CDK4/6 with PD 0332991 (palbociclib)
• Selective CDK4/CDK6 inhibitor (IC50 11 nM) • Orally bioavailable pyridopyrimidine• Competing with ATP for binding to the kinase site of CDK4/CDK6 • Induces early G1 arrest • Reversible• Low in toxicity • Selectively and potently inhibits CDK4/6 phosphorylation of Rb in primary human myeloma cells (IC50 60 nM )
• Inhibits tumor growth in the NOD-SCID human myeloma xenograft models and the immune-competent mouse 5T models

Targeting CDK4/CDK6 in Recurrent MCL
Single agent PD 0332991 Phase I study
• Inhibition of CDK4/CDK6 by PD 0332991 leads to prolonged G1 arrest (pG1) and increased tumor-specific cell death in MCL (n=17)
• PD 0332991 (125 mg/d orally 21 of 28 d) is generally well tolerated with neutropenia, fatigue and diarrhea as most common adverse events
• 1 complete response, 2 partial response, 5 SD > 1 year

Inhibition of CDK4/6 induces early G1 arrest in MCL cells of both responders and non-responders initially.
Can we identify genes that differentiate sensitivity from resistance to targeting CDK4 in combination with bortezomib?

Only 1% of the genes that were repressed in (pG1, day 8) in clinically responding patients (R) were up-regulated in pG1 non-responding patients (NR). Candidate biomarkers for the PD 0332991-bortezomib therapy?

Differential regulated genes
• Glucose homeostasis• Redox homeostasis• Cell migration
Targeting CDK4 in combination with bortezomib in MCL
• At the optimal PD 0332991 concentration and reduced bortzomib 1 CR, 1 PR, 2 near PR (43% reduction), 1 SD, 1 PD.
• Inhibition of CDK4 induces early G1 arrest that controls cell cycle gene expression in all MCL patients initially.
• MCL cells express CDK4 but not CDK6, cyclin D1 but not D2 or D3
• CDK4 is a stable target- no mutation in CDK4 detected
• A small number of genes are oppositely regulated in pG1 (day 8 vs day 0) in responders vs non-responders – candidate biomarkers for targeting CDK4 in combination with bortezomib.

pG1 reprogramming MCL cells for ibrutinib inhibition of Bruton Tyrosine Kinase (BTK)
Ibrutinib is effective in MCL. However, relapse is frequent andassociated with aggressive proliferation and poor prognosis
Relapse-specific C481S mutation in BTK in MCL--Longitudinal integrative WES and WTS analysis
Chiron, Di Liberto, Martin et al, Cancer Discovery, 2014
Relapse-specific C481S mutation in BTK in MCL--Longitudinal integrative WES and WTS analysis
• However, BTKC481S mutation is absent in transient ibrutinib response (< 5months) or primary resistance (6/6)
At least two mechanisms of Ibrutinib relapse -
• BTKC481S mutation is detected in durable ibrutinib response (>14 or 30 months, 2/2.
Chiron, Di Liberto, Martin et al, Cancer Discovery, 2014
BTK C481S mutation undetected before Ibrutinib relapse
• BTK is inactivated by ibrutinib in MCL cells of both sensitive and resistant patients in vivo• PI3K-AKT is activated in ibrutinib resistance

Induction of pG1 by CDK4 inhibition reprograms MCL cells for killing by ibrutinib via inhibition of BTK and AKT

pG1 inhibits NF-kB activation in BCR signaling
Chiron, Di Liberto, Martin et al, Cancer Discovery, 2014
Overriding ibrutinib resistance by cell cycle reprogramming
• Integrative WES/WTS identified a BTK481S mutation at relapse from ibrutinib after a durable response in MCL
• BTK481S mutation is absent in transient ibrutinib response or primary resistance, suggesting addition mechanisms for resistance.
• BTK and AKT are concurrently activated in ibrutinib resistance.
• Ibrutinib inactivates BTK in MCL cells of resistant patients.
• Enhanced proliferation of MCL cells at relapse
• pG1 sensitizes resistant MCL cells to Ibrutinib killing via cooperative inactivate BTK and AKT, and inactivation of NF-kB.
