Abstract
Provided are compounds of the Formula (I), or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof: wherein W, X, Y, Z, x, R1, R2, R3, x and n are defined in the specification. The compounds are inhibitors of lysyl oxidase (LOX) and lysyl oxidase-like (LOXL) family members (LOXL1, LOXL2, LOXL3, LOXL4) and are useful in therapy, particularly in the treatment of cancer. Also disclosed are LOX inhibitors for use in the treatment of a cancer associated with EGFR and biomarkers that predict responsiveness to a LOX inhibitor.
