Abstract

IKZF2 (Helios) is a transcription factor that is selectively expressed by Tregs and is essential for preserving the function and stability of Tregs in the tumor microenvironment (TME), where it suppresses the anti-tumor immune response. Targeted IKZF2 degradation by small molecules represents a promising strategy for the development of a new class of cancer immunotherapy. Herein, we describe the discovery of PVTX-405, a potent, effective, highly selective, and orally efficacious IKZF2 molecular glue degrader. PVTX-405 degrades IKZF2 (DC = 0.7 nM and D = 91%) while sparing other CRBN neo-substrates. Degradation of IKZF2 by PVTX-405 increases production of inflammatory cytokine IL-2 and reduces the suppressive activity of Tregs, leading to an increase in Teff cell proliferation. Once-daily oral administration of PVTX-405 as single agent significantly delays the growth of MC38 tumors in a syngeneic tumor model using humanized CRBN mice. PVTX-405 in combination with anti-PD1 or anti-LAG3 significantly increases animal survival compared to anti-PD1 or anti-LAG3 alone. Together, these results demonstrate that PVTX-405 is a promising IKZF2 degrader for clinical development for the treatment of human cancers.

摘要

IKZF2(Helios)是一种转录因子,由调节性T细胞(Tregs)选择性表达,对于维持肿瘤微环境(TME)中Tregs的功能和稳定性至关重要,在该环境中它会抑制抗肿瘤免疫反应。通过小分子靶向降解IKZF2是开发新型癌症免疫疗法的一种有前景的策略。在此,我们描述了PVTX - 405的发现,它是一种强效、有效、高度选择性且口服有效的IKZF2分子胶降解剂。PVTX - 405能降解IKZF2(DC = 0.7 nM且D = 91%),同时不影响其他CRBN新底物。PVTX - 405介导的IKZF2降解增加了炎性细胞因子白细胞介素 - 2的产生,并降低了Tregs的抑制活性,导致效应T细胞(Teff)增殖增加。在使用人源化CRBN小鼠的同基因肿瘤模型中,PVTX - 405作为单药每日一次口服给药可显著延迟MC38肿瘤的生长。与单独使用抗PD1或抗LAG3相比,PVTX - 405与抗PD1或抗LAG3联合使用可显著提高动物存活率。总之,这些结果表明PVTX - 405是一种有前景的IKZF2降解剂,可用于人类癌症治疗的临床开发。
