Activity of TAS4464, a novel NEDD8 activating enzyme E1 inhibitor, against multiple myeloma via inactivation of nuclear factor ?B pathways.

ABSTRACT: The ubiquitin proteasome pathway is essential for the proliferation and survival of multiple myeloma (MM) cells. TAS4464, a novel highly potent inhibitor of NEDD8 activating enzyme, selectively inactivates cullin-RING ubiquitin E3 ligases, resulting in accumulation of their substrates. Here, we examined 14 MM cell lines treated with TAS4464. TAS4464 induced growth arrest and cell death in the MM cell lines even in the presence of bone marrow stromal cells. It also induced the accumulation of phospho-inhibitor of ?B? and phospho-p100, impaired the activities of nuclear factor ?B (NF-?B) transcription factors p65 and RelB, and decreased the expression of NF-?B target genes, suggesting that TAS4464 inhibits both the canonical and non-canonical NF-?B pathways. TAS4464 had similar effects in an in vivo human-MM xenograft mouse model in which it was also observed to have strong antitumor effects. TAS4464 synergistically enhanced the antitumor activities of the standard MM chemotherapies bortezomib, lenalidomide/dexamethasone, daratumumab and elotuzumab. Together, these results suggest that the anti-MM activity of TAS4464 occurs via inhibition of the NF-?B pathways, and that treatment with TAS4464 is a potential approach for treating MM by single and combination therapies.

Project description:PurposeEvaluate the safety, pharmacokinetic profile, pharmacodynamic effects, and antitumor activity of the first-in-class investigational NEDD8-activating enzyme (NAE) inhibitor pevonedistat (TAK-924/MLN4924) in patients with relapsed/refractory lymphoma or multiple myeloma.Experimental designPatients with relapsed/refractory myeloma (n = 17) or lymphoma (n = 27) received intravenous pevonedistat 25 to 147 mg/m(2) on days 1, 2, 8, 9 (schedule A; n = 27) or 100 to 261 mg/m(2) on days 1, 4, 8, 11 (schedule B; n = 17) of 21-day cycles.ResultsMaximum tolerated doses were 110 mg/m(2) (schedule A) and 196 mg/m(2) (schedule B). Dose-limiting toxicities included febrile neutropenia, transaminase elevations, muscle cramps (schedule A), and thrombocytopenia (schedule B). Common adverse events included fatigue and nausea. Common grade ≥3 events were anemia (19%; schedule A), and neutropenia and pneumonia (12%; schedule B). Clinically significant myelosuppression was uncommon. There were no treatment-related deaths. Pevonedistat pharmacokinetics exhibited a biphasic disposition phase and approximate dose-proportional increases in systemic exposure. Consistent with the short mean elimination half-life of approximately 8.5 hours, little-to-no drug accumulation in plasma was seen after multiple dosing. Pharmacodynamic evidence of NAE inhibition included increased skin levels of CDT-1 and NRF-2 (substrates of NAE-dependent ubiquitin ligases), and increased NRF-2-regulated gene transcript levels in whole blood. Pevonedistat-NEDD8 adduct was detected in bone marrow aspirates, indicating pevonedistat target engagement in the bone marrow compartment. Three lymphoma patients had partial responses; 30 patients achieved stable disease.ConclusionsPevonedistat demonstrated anticipated pharmacodynamic effects in the clinical setting, a tolerable safety profile, and some preliminary evidence that may be suggestive of the potential for activity in relapsed/refractory lymphoma.
