Description

CROSS REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATIONS This is a divisional of Australian Patent Application No. 2021288087, which is a divisional of Australian Patent Application No. 2023204103, the originally-filed specification of each of which is incorporated herein by reference in its entirety. TECHNICAL FIELD The present disclosure pertains to osmotic dosage forms and methods of use of those dosage forms for treating hyperkinetic movement disorders deriving from conditions such as Huntington’s disease, tardive dyskinesia, Tourette syndrome, levodopa-induced dyskinesia and dyskinesia in cerebral palsy. BACKGROUND Deutetrabenazine ((RR,SS)-1,3,4,6,7,11b-hexahydro-9,10-di(methoxy-d3)-3-(2-methylpropyl)-2H-benzo[a]quinolizin-2-one) is a vesicular monoamine transporter type 2 (VMAT2). The biologically active metabolites formed from deutetrabenazine (alpha-dihydrodeutetrabenazine [a-deuHTBZ] and beta-dihydrodeutetrabenazine [P—deuHTBZ]), together identified as “deuHTBZ”, are potent inhibitors of VMAT2 binding. Deutetrabenazine exhibits an increased half-life of its active metabolites, relative to tetrabenazine (e.g., U.S. Patent No. 8,524,733). Deutetrabenazine is approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration under the tradename AUSTEDO® for the treatment of chorea (involuntary muscle movements) associated with Huntington’s disease (HD) and for the treatment of tardive dyskinesia (TD) in adults. AUSTEDO® dosage forms are orally administered twice-daily (bid), for total daily dosages of 12 mg or above of deutetrabenazine. One factor affecting gastrointestinal absorption of orally administered drugs is the rate at which drug is released from the dosage form. Drug release rates for oral dosage forms are typically measured as rate of dissolution in vitro, i.e., a quantity of drug released from the dosage form per unit time for example, in a FDA approved system. Such systems include, for example, United States Pharmacopeia (USP) dissolution apparati I and II. The therapeutic window of a drug is the time period when the plasma drug concentration is within the therapeutically effective plasma drug concentration range. Because 2025205457   15 Jul 2025 the plasma drug concentration declines over time, however, multiple doses of drug dosage form must be administered at appropriate intervals to ensure that the plasma drug concentration remains within or, again rises to, the therapeutic window. At the same time, however, there is a need to avoid or minimize plasma drug concentrations that result in undesirable side effects. 5          Several dosage forms comprising deutetrabenazine are disclosed in U.S. Patent No. 9,296,739. A dosage form that can deliver deutetrabenazine in a controlled manner over an extended period of time would enable a more advantageous dosing regimen, e.g., one that would permit once-daily (qd) administration while maintaining the treatment effects currently realized by AUSTEDO®. A need exists for such alternative dosage forms. 10 SUMMARY Disclosed herein are osmotic dosage forms for once daily administration of deutetrabenazine to a subject in need thereof comprising: a. a tablet core comprising an active layer comprising an amount of deutetrabenazine 15               microparticles and a push layer; b. a semipermeable layer surrounding the tablet core; and c. a port extending through the semipermeable layer into the tablet core. Further disclosed herein are methods of treating a hyperkinetic movement disorder in a 20 subject comprising: administering on a once daily basis to the subject an osmotic dosage form disclosed herein. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS FIG. 1 provides an illustration of an osmotic dosage form in cross-section. 25          FIG. 2a and FIG. 2b provide flowcharts of the general manufacturing processes for osmotic dosage forms according to the present disclosure. FIG. 3a and FIG. 3b are graphs showing concentration (pg / mL) of deutetrabenazine vs. time (hours, “h”) in subjects administered 12 mg AUSTEDO® tablet bid (“R”) or an osmotic dosage form containing 24 mg deutetrabenazine qd (“T2A”).

FIG. 4a and FIG. 4B are graphs showing concentration (pg / mL) of a- and P- deuHTBZ (total deuHTBZ) vs. time (hours, “h”) in subjects administered 12 mg AUSTEDO® tablet bid (“R”) or an osmotic dosage form containing 24 mg deutetrabenazine qd (“T2A”). FIG. 4a 2025205457   15 Jul 2025 shows direct scale for mean concentration, and FIG. 4b shows a log scale for mean concentration.

Further, unless otherwise required by context, singular terms shall include pluralities and plural terms shall include the singular. 15          As employed above and throughout the disclosure, the following terms and abbreviations, unless otherwise indicated, shall be understood to have the following meanings. In the present disclosure the singular forms “a”, “an”, and “the” include the plural reference, and reference to a particular numerical value includes at least that particular value, unless the context clearly indicates otherwise. Thus, for example, a reference to “a compound” 20 is a reference to one or more of such compounds and equivalents thereof known to those skilled in the art, and so forth. The term “plurality”, as used herein, means more than one. When a range of values is expressed, another embodiment includes from the one particular and / or to the other particular value. Similarly, when values are expressed as approximations, by use of the antecedent “about,” it is understood that the particular value forms another embodiment. 25 All ranges are inclusive and combinable. As used herein, the terms “compound”, “drug”, “pharmacologically active agent”, “active agent”, or “medicament” are used interchangeably herein to refer to a compound or compounds or composition of matter which, when administered to a subject (human or animal) induces a desired pharmacological and / or physiologic effect by local and / or systemic action. 30 The active agent is preferably deutetrabenazine, as disclosed herein. As used herein, “dosage form” refers to a drug form having osmotic properties and able to release active agent over an extended period, for example, the dosage form releases not more than 60 wt% of the active agent in the dosage form for 8 hours after administration. The active agent is preferably deutetrabenazine, as disclosed herein. 2025205457   15 Jul 2025 As used herein, the term "drug formulation" refers to a solution or suspension of the drug, optionally with excipients, formed in situ under aqueous conditions of the dosage form. The active agent is preferably deutetrabenazine, as disclosed herein. The terms "port" or "exit port", used interchangeably, refer to means and methods 5 suitable for exit of the drug or the drug formulation from the core of the dosage form , for example, any hole, passage, channel or similar opening though which the drug or the drug formulation in the core of the dosage form may exit.. Other expressions of such term include, for example, exit means, orifice or hole. As used herein, the terms “treatment” or “therapy” (as well as different forms thereof) 10 include preventative (e.g., prophylactic), curative, or palliative treatment. As used herein, the term “treating” includes alleviating or reducing at least one adverse or negative effect or symptom of a condition, disease or disorder. This condition, disease or disorder may refer to hyperkinetic movement disorder, such as, but not limited to, Huntington’s disease, tardive dyskinesia, Tourette syndrome, dystonia, dyskinesia in cerebral palsy and Parkinson's disease 15 levodopa-induced dyskinesia. The term “administering” means providing to a patient a pharmaceutical composition or dosage form (used interchangeably herein) disclosed herein. The terms “subject”, “individual”, and “patient” are used interchangeably herein, and refer to a human, to whom treatment, including prophylactic treatment, with a dosage form 20 disclosed herein, is provided. “Pharmaceutically acceptable” refers to those compounds, materials, compositions, and / or excipients which are, within the scope of sound medical judgment, suitable for contact with the tissues of human beings without excessive toxicity, irritation, allergic response, or other problem complications commensurate with a reasonable benefit / risk ratio. 25          The presently disclosed dosage forms may include “derivatives” of certain dosage form materials or ingredients, such as derivatives of cellulose or starch. As used herein, a “derivative” of a material may refer to a synthetic or semi-synthetic product of that material. For example, in the case of cellulose, a derivative can refer to semi-synthetic cellulose products such as cellophane, rayon, and cellulose acetate, cellulose esters, and cellulose ethers. 30           “Microparticles” refers to particles, for example deutetrabenazine particles, with a particle size (ie diameter) below 1 mm. In one embodiments, the median diameter (D50) of the microparticles is from about 0.05 to about 100 pm. In another embodiment, D50 of the microparticles is from about 0.05 to about 50 pm. In another embodiment, the D50 of the microparticles is from about 1 pm to about 30 pm, or about 1 pm to about 25 pm, or about 5 2025205457   15 Jul 2025 pm to about 30 pm, or about 1 pm to about 20 pm, or about 5 pm to about 25 pm, or about 10 pm to about 20 pm. In one embodiment, the deutetrabenazine microparticles have a particle size distribution of about 1 pm to about 30 pm in diameter. In another embodiment, the deutetrabenazine microparticles have a D90 of 15 pm (ie, 90% of the particles have a diameter 5 less than or equal to 15 um). In another embodiment, the deutetrabenazine microparticles have a D50 10 pm (ie, 50% of the particles have a diameter greater than 10 um and 50% of the particles have a diameter less than or equal to 10 um). In yet another embodiment, the deutetrabenazine microparticles have a Dio of 3 pm (ie,10% of the particles have a diameter less than 3 um). 10           The terms D90, D50 or Dio are well understood in the art. The particle size distribution of the microparticles (i.e. the diameters) can be determined by one with skill in art using conventional methods, for example, dynamic or static light-scattering of an aqueous dispersion of the microparticle composition. The D90 and Dio values, like the D50 value, can be calculated from the particle size distribution of the microparticles. 15           Osmotic dosage forms, in general, utilize osmotic pressure to generate a driving force for imbibing fluid, for example, from the gastrointestinal (GI) tract, into a compartment formed, at least in part, by a semipermeable wall, layer or membrane that permits free diffusion of fluid but not drug or osmotic agent(s), if present. A constant rate of drug release can be achieved by designing the system to provide a relatively constant osmotic pressure and having suitable exit 20 means for the drug formulation to be released at a rate that corresponds to the rate of fluid imbibed as a result of the relatively constant osmotic pressure. Without being limited to theory, osmotic systems may operate independently of pH and thus, operation continues at the osmotically-determined rate throughout an extended time period even as the dosage form transits the GI tract and encounters differing microenvironments having significantly different 25 pH values. An example of one type of osmotic device comprises two component layers within a compartment (herein referred to as, and used interchangeably with, a core) formed by a semipermeable wall. One component layer (herein referred to as an active layer) comprises drug (i.e. deutetrabenazine) in a mixture with an excipient(s) and the second component layer 30 (herein referred to as a push layer) comprises an osmotically active agent(s), optionally in a mixture with excipients but does not contain drug. This core is further coated by the semipermeable wall, which permits entry of aqueous fluid, i.e. from the GI system, into the 2025205457   15 Jul 2025 core. Without wishing to be limited to theory, as fluid is imbibed into the dosage form, the active layer forms a drug formulation and the osmotic agent(s) in the push layer swell and push against the drug formulation to thereby facilitate release of the drug formulation at a substantially constant rate. See, e.g, U.S. Pat. Nos. 4,327,725; 4,612,008; 4,783,337; and 5   5,082,668. Although constant-release dosage forms have been proven effective for many different drug therapies, there are clinical situations where these have not been entirely satisfactory. It has been observed that for some patients, the therapeutic effectiveness of the drug decreases below the therapeutically effective threshold before the end of the desired therapy period 10 despite the maintenance of substantially constant drug release that would be expected to provide continued effectiveness. It has been surprisingly discovered that oral dosage forms comprising deutetrabenazine that exhibit a desirable rate of release and hence a desirable pharmacokinetic profile for an extended time can be achieved. In some embodiments, the presently disclosed osmotic dosage 15 forms provide a pharmacokinetic profile when administered orally to a subject on a once daily basis (q.d.) that is comparable, e.g., bioequivalent, to that of the AUSTEDO® dosage forms administered b.i.d. In certain embodiments, the osmotic dosage forms provide an in vivo plasma profile for total deuHTBZ at steady state that includes a mean AUC0-24 of about 410,000 to 800,000 h*pg / mL, and a mean Cmax of less than about 40,000 pg / mL. 20          The osmotic dosage forms of the present disclosure include a tablet core containing at least a push layer and an active layer, wherein the active layer includes deutetrabenazine and one or more excipient for forming a drug formulation when hydrated, and wherein the push layer includes at least one osmotic agent and one or more excipient. Both the push layer and active layer are contained within a tablet core at least partially surrounded by a semipermeable 25 layer having a port that functions as an exit means for drug formulation release from the tablet core. In some embodiments, the two layers are compressed into a bilayer tablet core surrounded by a semipermeable membrane and further having a suitable orifice for drug release there through. An embodiment of an oral osmotic dosage form disclosed herein is illustrated in the 30 cross section in FIG. 1. The components are not drawn to scale. The dosage form (2) comprises a bilayer tablet core. The core comprises an active layer (4), containing drug, e.g. deutetrabenazine, and one or more active layer excipients, and a push layer (6), containing at least one osmotic agent along with one or more push layer excipients. At least a portion of the active layer forms a drug formulation upon exposure to an aqueous milieu. Suitable active layer 2025205457   15 Jul 2025 and push layer excipients are known in the art and include diluents, carriers, binders, fillers, control release agents and processing aids. A semipermeable membrane (8) surrounds the bilayer tablet core and a suitably sized port (10) that extends from the semipermeable membrane into the active layer (4) is present to permit drug formulation to be released from within the 5 tablet core. As illustrated, the dosage form may be longitudinally compressed and the port (10) present on the side of the dosage form comprising the active layer. In other embodiments, the dosage form is compressed along the lateral axis of the dosage form, and the port is present on one end of the dosage form. In all embodiments, more than one port may be present. Through cooperation of the osmotic dosage form components and in the presence of an aqueous milieu, 10 drug formulation is released from the active layer through the port at a desired release rate for an extended time. Although not shown in FIG. 1, an optional immediate-release layer (immediate release coating), external to the semipermeable layer, including further drug (ie deutetrabenazine microparticles) may be further provided, if desired, as described elsewhere herein. 15          In one embodiment, the invention provides an osmotic dosage form for once daily administration to a subject in need thereof comprising: a. a tablet core comprising an active layer comprising an amount of deutetrabenazine microparticles and a push layer; b. a semipermeable layer surrounding the tablet core; and 20           c. a port in the semipermeable layer extending to the tablet core.

In one specific embodiment, the push layer comprises sodium chloride, polyethylene oxide, hydroxypropyl methylcellulose, a colorant, and magnesium stearate. The present osmotic dosage forms include a semipermeable layer that surrounds the tablet core, thereby enabling influx of fluid from an external fluid environment (e.g., a subject’s 20 gastrointestinal tract) into the tablet core while preventing efflux of drug from the core. The semipermeable layer is preferably formed of a material that does not adversely affect the patient, and is permeable to an external fluid such as water and biological fluids. The selectively permeable materials forming the semipermeable layer are insoluble in body fluids, and are non-erodible or are bioerodible after a predetermined period with bioerosion 25 corresponding to the end of the drug formulation release period.

Cellulose acetate includes cellulose acetate polymers (e.g. 15 Eudragit®). In one embodiment, the semipermeable layer comprises a water insoluble polymer, which is present in an amount of about 80% to about 99.9% by weight, based on the weight of the semipermeable layer. In another embodiment, the water insoluble polymer is about 85% to about 95% by weight, based on the weight of the semipermeable layer. Preferably, the semipermeable layer comprises a water insoluble polymer which is cellulose 20 acetate, comprising about 32% - 40% acetyl content. The semipermeable layer may further include a pore-forming agent or “pore former”. Pore forming agents include biocompatible materials that when contacted with body fluids dissolve, disperse or degrade to create pores or channels in the semipermeable layer material. Typically, water soluble organic and non-organic materials such as sugars (e.g., sucrose, 25 dextrose), water soluble salts (e.g, sodium chloride, sodium phosphate, potassium chloride, and sodium carbonate), water soluble solvents such as N-methyl-2-pyrrolidone and polyethylene glycol and water soluble polymers (e.g., carboxymethylcellulose, hydroxypropylcellulose, and the like) can conveniently be used as pore formers. In one embodiment, the semipermeable layer comprises, in addition to the water soluble polymer or 30 water insoluble polymer, a pore-forming agent, which is selected from water soluble sugars, water soluble salts, water soluble solvents and water soluble polymers or any mixture thereof.

The port is present within the semipermeable layer and extends from external to the semipermeable layer into the tablet core providing an exit means for the drug formulation from the active layer within the tablet core into the environment external to the dosage form. The exit port(s) are formed by any means known in the art including mechanical drilling, laser 10 drilling, eroding an erodible element, extracting, dissolving, bursting, or by leaching. For example, the port(s) may be formed by post-coating mechanical or thermal means or with a beam of light (e.g., a laser), a beam of particles, or other high-energy source, or may be formed in situ by rupture of a small portion of the coating. Such rupture may be controlled by intentionally incorporating a relatively small weak portion into the coating. Exit port(s) may 15 also be formed in situ by erosion of a plug of water-soluble material or by rupture of a thinner portion of the coating over an indentation in the core. Exit port(s) may be formed by coating the core such that one or more small regions remains uncoated. In addition, the exit port(s) can be a large number of holes or pores that may be formed during coating. The exit port(s) can be a pore formed by leaching sorbitol, lactose or the like from a wall or layer as disclosed in U.S. 20 Pat. No. 4,200,098. This patent discloses pores of controlled-size porosity formed by dissolving, extracting, or leaching a material from a wall, such as sorbitol from cellulose acetate. A preferred form of laser drilling is the use of a pulsed laser that incrementally removes material from the semipermeable layer to the desired depth to form the exit port.

Total 326.8 10 Example 2 - Single Dose Bioavailability Assessment Osmotic dosage forms containing 24mg deutetrabenazine were produced as disclosed in Example 1 and studied in a single dose pharmacokinetic study. The primary objective was to assess the comparative bioavailability (BA) of deutetrabenazine and deuterated a- and P-dihydrotetrabenazine (deuHTBZ) metabolites following a single administration of 24 mg, once daily (q.d.) osmotic formulation (Test) compared to a single 12 mg AUSTEDO® tablet administered twice, 12 hours apart (b.i.d), under fasted conditions. Study Population and Number of Subjects: The study included healthy male and female non-smoking subjects, aged 18 through 45 years. A total of 8 healthy subjects (4 per sequence) were enrolled in this study. 2025205457   15 Jul 2025 Duration of Subject Participation: The study included a screening period of 4 weeks (period 1), an open label treatment period with the test formulation (Test2A) and the reference formulation (R) (period 2), and a follow-up visit at least 1 day later (period 3). Treatments: 5          Treatment sequence A: Day 1 - administration of Test2A. Days 2-3 - at least 6 hours wash out of Test2A followed by administration of R. Treatment sequence B: Day 1 - administration of R 10           Days 2-3 - at least 6 hours wash out of R, followed by administration of Test2A. The primary objective was addressed using the following parameters: - maximum observed concentration (Cmax) - area under the plasma concentration-time (AUC) from time 0 to the time of the last measurable plasma concentration (AUCO-t) 15          - AUC extrapolated to infinity (AUCO-oo) - AUC from time 0 to 24 hours post dose (AUC0-24h) Analyses AUCO-t, AUCO-oo, and AUC0-24h were calculated using the trapezoidal rule. The Cmax, AUCO-t, AUCO-oo, and AUC0-24h data was natural log-transformed prior to the 20 statistical analysis. Comparisons of Cmax, AUCO-t, AUCO-oo, and AUC0-24h between treatments (T2A vs R) was be carried out using a separate parametric analysis of variance (ANOVA) model with fixed effect terms for sequence, period, treatment group, and a random effect of subject within sequence. The difference between the reference formulation (R) and the test formulation (Test2A) was evaluated by constructing 90% confidence intervals for the 25 Test / Reference ratios, based on the least-square means from the ANOVA for the log- 2025205457   15 Jul 2025 transformed Cmax, AUCO-t, AUCO-oo and AUC0-24h. The treatment difference and the associated 90% confidence interval estimated from the ANOVA on the log scale was back-transformed to obtain the estimated ratio of geometric means between treatment groups and the 90% confidence interval for this ratio. 5                FIG. 3a and FIG 3b show the results of the R treatment compared to Test2A treatment (mean concentration of deutetrabenazine vs. time) direct scale and log scale, respectively.

The osmotic dosage forms disclosed herein are administered once daily and provide acceptable treatment effects to that of AUSTEDO® 5 and also have no safety concerns. Example 3 - Multiple Dose Bioavailability Assessment Osmotic dosage form containing 24mg of deutetrabenazine were produced as disclosed in Example 1 and studied in an open label, randomized, multiple-dose, 2-way crossover study in healthy volunteers. 10          The primary objective was to assess the bioequivalence (BE) of administration of Test2A, once daily (qd) compared to bid administration of R, under fasted or fed conditions. Treatment included 7 days repeated dosing of Test2A once daily versus 7 days repeated dosing of R, bid. Qualified models were used to predict the steady state, AUCt, Cmax, tmax, Cmin, Cav for 15 deutetrabenazine and deuHTBZ concentrations. Table 16, below, provides simulation results for steady state pK parameters for deutetrabenazine with respect to Test2A compared to R as well as pK parameters for total deuHTBZ for the Test2A compared to R. 20 Table 16 2025205457   15 Jul 2025 Analyte Comparison PK Parameter (Mean) Test2A R Test2A / R Ratio Deutetrabenazine Test2A vs. R AUCo-24h [pg*h / mL] 2390 1784 1.34 Deutetrabenazine Test2A vs. R Cmax [pg / mL] 155 134 1.16 Total deuHTBZ Test2A vs. R AUCo-24h [pg*h / mL] 556826 519835 1.07 Total deuHTBZ Test2A vs. R Cmax [pg / mL] 28695 28485 1.01 Multiple dosing of Test2A has comparable pK parameters to that of R, at steady state. Therefore similar efficacy response is expected with once daily administration, having no 5 safety concerns. Example 4: Food effect study Osmotic dosage forms containing 24mg deutetrabenazine are produced as disclosed in Example 1 and studied in an open label, randomized, two-way crossover study, to assess the 10 comparative bioavailability of deutetrabenazine and deuHTBZ in the fed compared to the fasted state, following a single administration of 24 mg, once daily (qd) osmotic formulation. Treatment includes: A - 24 mg, once daily (qd) osmotic formulation given as a single oral dose with water after an overnight fast of at least 10 hours. 15          B - 24 mg, once daily (qd) osmotic formulation given as a single oral dose with water, 30 minutes after the start of standardized high calorie, high fat breakfast administered after an overnight fast of at least 10 hours. Subject will receive treatments A / B with at least 6 days washout period. 20          AUCt, Cmax, tmax, Cmin, Cav for deutetrabenazine and deuHTBZ will be analyzed. Results The similar plasma concentrations of deutetrabenazine and deuHTBZ, following single administration with or without food, show that the osmotic dosage from can be administered 25 regardless of food. 2025205457   15 Jul 2025 Throughout this specification and the claims which follow, unless the context requires otherwise, the word "comprise", and variations such as "comprises" and "comprising", will be understood to imply the inclusion of a stated integer or step or group of integers or steps but not the exclusion of any other integer or step or group of integers or steps.
