    Abstract: Human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2) amplification is one of oncogenic drivers most found in breast cancer but also occurs in multiple other tumor types. Approximately 10-30% of patients with breast cancer develop brain metastases (BCBM), a devastating cause of morbidity and mortality. To address this unmet medical need, VRN10s, brain penetrant, orally bioavailable, and irreversible small molecule inhibitors were designed to target HER2 while sparing EGFR wild type. In biochemical assays VRN10s had low nanomolar potency to inhibit catalytic activity of HER2. In cell viability assays using HER2+ breast and gastric cancer cell lines, VRN10s inhibited proliferation with single-digit nanomolar potency and exhibited an exceptional selectivity for HER2 over EGFR, with an enhancement of & gt; 30-fold. Neuregulin-1 (NRG-1) has been suggested to decrease the anti-tumor activity of HER2 kinase inhibitors by induction of HER3 in brain microenvironment. Two FDA-approved HER2 kinase inhibitors tucatinib and lapatinib are not only less brain permeable, but they also show significantly decreased activity in the presence of NRG-1. However, the addition of NRG-1 did not rescue the proliferation of HER2+ breast cancer cell lines treated with VRN10s. Western blot confirmed that VRN10s inhibit signal transduction downstream of HER2 and HER3 through the AKT and ERK pathways. Inhibition of HER2 is reported to cause cytotoxicity on cardiomyocytes. In spite of potent inhibition of HER2 catalytic inhibition, VRN10s did not show cardiomyocyte cytotoxicity more than other HER2 kinase inhibitors, including tucatinib and neratinib. We confirm VRN10s to have high brain exposure in several preclinical models. Consistent with our in vitro results, potent activity was observed in the xenograft and intracranial models using once daily oral administration with strong tumor growth inhibition. Based on in vitro assay, brain permeability and in vivo efficacy, VRN10s may be promising therapeutic candidates for patients with HER2+ tumors including BCBM.

    Abstract: The brain is a common target organ for breast cancer metastasis, and the risk of brain metastasis is usually high for patients with HER2-positive breast cancer. While T-DXd showed positive results in HER2-positive breast cancer brain metastasis (BCBM), its activity and blood-brain barrier (BBB) permeability in active BCBM need to be further validated (TUXEDO-1 included 15 patients with active brain metastasis). Tucatinib plus Trastuzumab and Capecitabine triplet showed efficacy in patients with brain metastasis, but Tucatinib alone has poor BBB penetration. There is still an unmet medical need for active HER2-positive BCBM. VRN101099 is a highly selective kinase inhibitor of HER2 (Eurofins scanMAX Kinase Profiling, S-score (35) of 0.01). VRN101099 has single- to double-digit nanomolar (IC50) cellular potency in HER2-dependent cancer cells, and Ba/F3 cells expressing HER2 wild type or mutations with selectivity over wildtype EGFR. VRN101099 inhibited proliferation of BT474 with 3.6 nM IC50 but HaCaT with 829.2 nM IC50. VRN101099 binds HER2 kinase by forming a covalent bond to the Cys805 and its irreversible inhibition resulted in a longer target resident time than Tucatinib, confirmed by in vitro washout experiments. Robust in vivo activity of VRN101099 was observed in HER2-positive BT474 xenograft models. Moreover, once daily oral administration of VRN101099 significantly regressed intracranial BT474 tumor, demonstrating greater efficacy than twice daily oral administration of Tucatinib. These results were well explained by the superior brain to plasma exposure of VRN101099 to Tucatinib. Also, VRN101099 showed high exposure in the target organ, the fat pad, which potentiated better clinical translation. These anti-tumor efficacies are correlated with pharmacodynamic responses, as confirmed by decreased HER2, AKT, and ERK phosphorylation. In summary, VRN101099 is a brain penetrant, orally bioavailable, irreversible, and highly selective inhibitor of HER2 with therapeutic potential in HER2-positive BCBM. These data support the clinical development of VRN101099 in HER2-driven cancers.

    Abstract: Breast cancer (BC) is the second most common cancer associated with brain metastasis (BM) and among patients with breast cancer brain metastasis (BCBM), human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2)-positive breast cancer is most likely to develop BM. The overall prognosis of HER2-positive BCBM remains dismal with median survival time after BM of less than a year. Drugs like T-DM1, T-DXd and Tucatinib are reported to deliver a progression-free survival benefit in HER2-positive BCBM patients, but there are still unmet needs for a drug that crosses the blood brain barrier more effectively. We develop VRN101396, a brain penetrant, orally available, and irreversible small molecule inhibitor targeting HER2 to offer a new therapeutic option for the treatment of HER2-positive BCBM. VRN101396 potently inhibits catalytic activity of HER2 but spares wild-type EGFR. In HER2-positive breast cancer cell lines BT474 and SK-BR3 and gastric cancer cell line NCI-N87, VRN101396 inhibited the cell proliferation and phosphorylation of HER2 with single- or double-digit nanomolar IC50 values while inhibiting wild type EGFR with an IC50 value of & gt;100 nM. In both subcutaneous and intracranial efficacy mouse models, once-daily oral dose of VRN101396 significantly inhibited tumor growth and achieved tumor regression. In N87 subcutaneous xenograft model, VRN101396 alone showed superior efficacy to the combination of Tucatinib and Trastuzumab. Additionally, in intracranial xenograft model, VRN101396 showed superior efficacy to Tucatinib. Pharmacokinetics of VRN101396 displayed higher brain exposure than tucatinib and lapatinib, indicating better target engagement in the brain. Pharmacodynamic analysis revealed that VRN101396 reduced phosphorylation of HER2, HER3, AKT, and ERK compared to vehicle group after administration up to 24 hours. In conclusion, VRN101396 is a therapeutic candidate for the treatment of HER2-positive BC, BCBM and gastric cancer.
