Description

[0001] The applicant filed PCT application PCT / US2020 / 056410 on October 20, 2020, entitled "Pharmaceutical composition comprising (S)-2-(2,6-dioxopiperidin-3-yl)-4-((2-fluoro-4-((3-morpholinoazonobutane-1-yl)methyl)benzyl)amino)isoindoline-1,3-dione and method of use thereof". This PCT application entered the Chinese national phase on June 20, 2022, with application number 202080088915.6. This application is a divisional application of that Chinese application.

[0002] This application claims priority to U.S. Provisional Application No. 62 / 923,927, filed October 21, 2019, which is incorporated herein by reference. 1. Technical Field

[0003] This document provides pharmaceutical compositions comprising (S)-2-(2,6-dioxadiazin-3-yl)-4-((2-fluoro-4-((3-morpholinoazonobutane-1-yl)methyl)benzyl)amino)isoindoline-1,3-dione or an enantiomer, mixture of enantiomers, tautomers, isotopes, or pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof, and a carrier or diluent. This document also provides methods for using said pharmaceutical compositions to treat, prevent, and manage various diseases. 2. Background Technology

[0004] The main characteristic of cancer is an increase in the number of abnormal cells originating from designated normal tissues. These abnormal cells invade adjacent tissues or spread to local lymph nodes and metastasize via lymphatic or hematogenous spread of malignant cells. Clinical data and molecular biological studies indicate that cancer is a multi-step process that begins with subtle precancerous changes that can develop into neoplasmosis under certain conditions. Neoplasmic lesions can undergo clonal evolution and develop an increased ability to invade, grow, metastasize, and heterogeneously, especially when tumor cells evade host immune surveillance. Current cancer treatments may include surgery, chemotherapy, hormone therapy, and / or radiation therapy to eradicate the patient's tumor cells. Recent advances in cancer treatment are discussed by Rajkumar et al. in Nature Reviews Clinical Oncology 11, 628–630 (2014).

[0005] All current cancer treatments come with significant drawbacks for patients. For example, surgery may be contraindicated or unacceptable to the patient due to their health condition. Furthermore, surgery may not completely remove tumor tissue. Radiation therapy is only effective when tumor tissue exhibits a higher sensitivity to radiation than normal tissue. Radiation therapy also frequently causes severe side effects. Hormone therapy is rarely administered as a single drug. While it can be effective, it is often used to prevent or delay cancer recurrence after other treatments have cleared most of the cancer cells.

[0006] Despite the availability of various chemotherapy drugs, chemotherapy has many drawbacks. Almost all chemotherapy drugs are toxic, and chemotherapy causes severe, often dangerous, side effects, including severe nausea, bone marrow suppression, and immunosuppression. Furthermore, even with combined use of chemotherapy drugs, many tumor cells develop or become resistant to them. In fact, cells resistant to a specific chemotherapy drug used in a treatment regimen often prove resistant to other drugs, even those with different mechanisms of action. This phenomenon is called multidirectional resistance or multidrug resistance. Due to resistance, many cancers prove or become refractory to standard chemotherapy regimens.

[0007] Hematological malignancies are cancers originating from hematopoietic tissues such as bone marrow or immune system cells. Examples of hematological malignancies are leukemia, lymphoma, and myeloma. More specific examples of hematological malignancies include, but are not limited to, acute myeloid leukemia (AML), acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL), multiple myeloma (MM), non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL), diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL), Hodgkin lymphoma (HL), T-cell lymphoma (TCL), Burkitt lymphoma (BL), chronic lymphocytic leukemia / small lymphocytic lymphoma (CLL / SLL), marginal zone lymphoma (MZL), and myelodysplastic syndromes (MDS).

[0008] The variety of possible pharmaceutical compositions (e.g., oral formulations containing different excipients) contributes to the potential diversity of physical and chemical properties of a given pharmaceutical compound. The discovery and selection of pharmaceutical compositions are crucial for developing an effective, stable, and commercially viable drug. 3. Summary of the Invention

[0033] 5. Detailed Explanation

[0034] 5.1 Definition

[0035] Unless otherwise defined, all technical and scientific terms used herein have the same meaning as commonly understood by one of ordinary skill in the art. All patents, applications, published applications, and other publications are incorporated herein by reference in their entirety. Where multiple definitions exist for terms used herein, the definitions in this section shall prevail unless otherwise stated.

[0036] As used herein, as well as in the specification and appended claims, the indefinite articles “a” and “an” and the definite article “the” include both plural and singular things, unless the context clearly indicates otherwise.

[0037] As used herein, the terms “comprising” and “including” are used interchangeably. The terms “comprising” and “including” should be understood to specify the presence of the mentioned features or components, but do not exclude the presence or addition of one or more features or components or groups thereof. Furthermore, the terms “comprising” and “including” are intended to include examples covered by the term “consisting of”. Therefore, the term “consisting of” can be used in place of the terms “comprising” and “including” to provide more specific embodiments of the invention.

[0038] The term "consisting of" means that the subject matter has at least 90%, 95%, 97%, 98%, or 99% of the said features or components constituting it. In another embodiment, the term "consisting of" excludes any other features or components from any subsequent enumeration, except those features or components that are not essential to the desired technical effect.

[0039] As used herein, the term "or" should be understood as inclusive, meaning any one or any combination. Therefore, "A, B, or C" means any of the following: "A; B; C; A and B; A and C; B and C; A, B, and C". Exceptions to this definition only arise when a combination of elements, functions, steps, or behaviors is inherently mutually exclusive in some way.

[0040] As used herein and unless otherwise specified, when used in conjunction with a dose, amount, or weight percentage of a component of a composition or dosage form, the terms “about” and “approximately” mean a dose, amount, or weight percentage recognized by those skilled in the art as providing a pharmacological effect equivalent to that obtained from a specified dose, amount, or weight percentage. In some embodiments, when used in the context, the terms “about” and “approximately” mean a dose, amount, or weight percentage within the range of 30%, 20%, 15%, 10%, or 5% of the specified dose, amount, or weight percentage.

[0041] As used herein and unless otherwise stated, when used in conjunction with numerical values ​​or ranges of values ​​provided to characterize a particular solid form, such as a particular temperature or temperature range (e.g., describing melting, dehydration, desolvation, or glass transition temperature); mass change (e.g., mass change as a function of temperature or humidity); solvent or water content (e.g., mass or percentage); or peak position (e.g., by IR or Raman spectroscopy or XRPD analysis), the terms "about" and "approximately" indicate that the value or range of values ​​may deviate to a degree that would be reasonable to a person skilled in the art while still describing the particular solid form. For example, in certain embodiments, when used in the context, the terms "about" and "approximately" indicate that the numerical value or range of values ​​may vary within 25%, 20%, 15%, 10%, 9%, 8%, 7%, 6%, 5%, 4%, 3%, 2%, 1.5%, 1%, 0.5%, or 0.25% of the value or range of values. For example, in some embodiments, the value of the XRPD peak position may vary within a range of up to ±0.2°2θ while still describing the particular XRPD peak. As used in this article, the tilde (i.e., "~") preceding a numerical value or range indicates "about" or "approximately".

[0042] Unless otherwise specified, the terms “X-ray powder diffraction”, “powder X-ray diffraction”, “PXRD” and “XRPD” may be used interchangeably in this application.

[0043] As used herein and unless otherwise stated, the term "solid form" and related terms refer to a physical form that is not primarily in a liquid or gaseous state. As used herein, the term "solid form" includes semi-solids. Solid forms can be crystalline, amorphous, partially crystalline, partially amorphous, or mixtures of various forms.

[0044] As used herein and unless otherwise specified, when used to describe a substance, component, product, or form, the term "crystalline" and related terms as used herein mean that the substance, component, product, or form is substantially crystalline, for example, as determined by X-ray diffraction.

In extreme cases, complete inhibition is referred to herein as prophylaxis or chemoprevention. In this context, the term "prophylaxis" includes complete prevention of clinically apparent cancer development or prevention of the occurrence of preclinically apparent stages of cancer. This definition is also intended to include prevention of transformation into malignant cells or halting or reversing the progression of preclinical cells to malignant cells. This includes prophylactic treatment for individuals at risk of developing cancer.

[0059] In some implementations, NHL treatment can be evaluated using the Deauville Criteria for fluorodeoxyglucose-positron emission tomography (FDG-PET) scan interpretation (see Cheson et al., J. Clin. Oncol. 2014, 32(27): 3059-3068) and the Deauville Criteria for fluorodeoxyglucose-positron emission tomography (FDG-PET) scan interpretation (Itti et al., Eur. J. Nucl. Med. Mol. Imaging, 2013, 40(9): 1312-20; Meignan et al., Leuk Lymphoma, 2014, 55(1): 31-37 (“Lugano Criteria”), using the response and endpoint definitions shown in Tables 1-3.

[0159] In one embodiment, the pharmaceutical composition provided herein is formulated as a capsule. In one embodiment, the capsule is an HPMC capsule.

[0160] Typically, compositions are formulated for single-dose administration. To formulate a composition, a weight fraction of the compound is dissolved, suspended, dispersed, or otherwise mixed in a chosen solvent at an effective concentration (to alleviate or improve the condition being treated). Suitable drug carriers or solvents for administering the compounds provided herein include any such carriers known to those skilled in the art as being appropriate for a particular mode of administration.

[0161] Furthermore, the compound can be formulated as the sole pharmaceutically active ingredient in a composition, or in combination with other active ingredients. Liposome suspensions, including tissue-targeting liposomes such as tumor-targeting liposomes, are also suitable as pharmaceutically acceptable carriers. These can be prepared according to methods known to those skilled in the art. For example, liposome formulations can be prepared as known in the art. Briefly, liposomes, such as multilayer vesicles (MLVs), can be formed by drying lecithin and cephalin-serine (7:3 molar ratio) on the inside of a flask. A solution of the compound provided herein in phosphate-buffered saline (PBS) lacking divalent cations is added and the flask is shaken until the lipid membrane is dispersed. The resulting vesicles are rinsed to remove unencapsulated compounds, the precipitate is centrifuged, and then resuspended in PBS.

[0162] The active compound is encapsulated in a pharmaceutically acceptable carrier in an amount sufficient to exert a therapeutically useful effect on the patient without undesirable side effects. Therapeuticly effective concentrations can be determined by testing the compound in the in vitro and in vivo systems described herein, from which the dosage for human use can be deduced.

[0163] The concentration of the active compound in a pharmaceutical composition will depend on the absorption, tissue distribution, inactivation, metabolism and excretion rate of the active compound, the physicochemical properties of the compound, the dosage regimen and amount administered, and other factors known to those skilled in the art.

[0164] Solutions or suspensions intended for parenteral, intradermal, subcutaneous, or topical application may include any of the following components: sterile diluents such as water for injection, saline, fixative oil, polyethylene glycol, glycerin, propylene glycol, dimethylacetamide, or other synthetic solvents; antibacterial agents such as benzyl alcohol and methylparaben; antioxidants such as ascorbic acid and sodium bisulfite; chelating agents such as ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid (EDTA); buffers such as acetates, citrates, and phosphates; and tonic agents such as sodium chloride or glucose. Parenteral preparations may be packaged in ampoules, pens, disposable syringes, or single- or multi-dose vials made of glass, plastic, or other suitable materials.

[0165] When a compound exhibits insufficient solubility, methods for solubilizing the compound can be used. These methods are known to those skilled in the art and include, but are not limited to, the use of co-solvents such as dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) and surfactants such as... It can also be dissolved in an aqueous solution of sodium bicarbonate.

[0166] When compounds are mixed or added, the resulting mixture can be a solution, suspension, emulsion, etc. The form of the resulting mixture depends on many factors, including the intended method of administration and the solubility of the compound in the chosen carrier or solvent. The effective concentration is sufficient to improve the symptoms of the disease, ailment, or condition being treated and can be determined empirically.

[0167] Pharmaceutical compositions are provided in unit dosage forms, such as tablets, capsules, pills, powders, granules, sterile parenteral solutions or suspensions, and oral solutions or suspensions and oil-water emulsions, containing an appropriate amount of the compound or its pharmaceutically acceptable salt, for administration to humans and animals. Therapeutic active pharmaceutical compounds and their salts are formulated and administered in single-dose or multi-dose forms. As used herein, a unit-dose form refers to a physically discrete unit suitable for human and animal individuals, individually packaged as known in the art. Each unit dose contains a predetermined amount of the therapeutically active compound sufficient to produce the desired therapeutic effect, along with the desired drug carrier, solvent, or diluent. Examples of unit-dose forms include ampoules and syringes, as well as individually packaged tablets or capsules. Unit-dose forms can be administered in multiple doses or fractions. Multi-dose forms are multiple identical unit dosage forms packaged in a single container and administered in separate unit-dose forms. Examples of multi-dose forms include vials, bottles, pint bottles, or gallon bottles of tablets or capsules. Thus, a multi-dose form is multiple unit doses not separated in the package.

[0168] Dosage forms or compositions containing 0.005% to 100% of the active ingredient can be prepared, with the remainder consisting of a non-toxic carrier. For oral administration, pharmaceutically acceptable non-toxic compositions are formed by incorporating any commonly used excipients, such as pharmaceutical-grade mannitol, lactose, starch, magnesium stearate, talc, cellulose derivatives, croscarmellose sodium, glucose, sucrose, magnesium carbonate, or sodium saccharin. The compositions include solutions, suspensions, tablets, capsules, powders, and sustained-release formulations, such as, but not limited to, implants and microencapsulated delivery systems, and biodegradable biocompatible polymers, such as collagen, ethylene vinyl acetate, polyanhydride, polyglycolic acid, polyorthoesters, polylactic acid, etc. Methods for preparing the compositions are known to those skilled in the art.

[0169] Active compounds or pharmaceutically acceptable salts can be prepared together with a carrier that protects the compound from rapid excretion from the body, such as a sustained-release formulation or a coating.

[0170] The composition may include other active compounds to achieve the desired combination of properties. The compounds provided herein, or their pharmaceutically acceptable salts, may also be advantageously used in combination with another medicine known in the general art as valuable in treating one or more of the aforementioned diseases or medical conditions (e.g., diseases related to oxidative stress) for therapeutic or preventative purposes. It should be understood that the combined therapies constitute another aspect of the compositions and treatment methods provided herein.

[0171] (d) Methods for preparing dosage forms

[0172] The pharmaceutical compositions (dosage forms) described herein can be prepared by any pharmaceutical method, but all methods include the step of combining the active ingredient with an excipient that constitutes one or more essential components. Typically, the composition is prepared by uniformly mixing (e.g., direct mixing) the active ingredient with a liquid excipient or finely crushed solid excipient, or both, and then, if necessary, shaping the product into the desired appearance (e.g., compaction, such as roller compaction). If desired, tablets can be coated using standard aqueous or anhydrous techniques.

[0173] The dosage forms provided herein can be prepared by compression or molding, optionally containing one or more excipients. Compressed tablets can be prepared by compressing the active ingredient in a free-flowing form (e.g., powder or granules) in a suitable machine, said active ingredient optionally mixed with excipients and / or surfactants or dispersants as described above. Molded tablets can be prepared by molding a mixture of powdered compounds wetted with an inert liquid diluent in a suitable machine. Encapsulation of the dosage forms provided herein can be accomplished using hydroxypropyl methylcellulose, calcium alginate, or gelatin capsules.

[0174] In some implementations, the active ingredient and excipients are directly mixed and filled, for example, into capsules, or directly compressed into tablets.

In one embodiment, the wet granulation method includes the steps of: (i) mixing an active ingredient (e.g., compound 1 or an enantiomer, mixture of enantiomers, tautomers, isotopes, or pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof) with a first portion of excipient (intragranule excipient) and water to form wet granules; (ii) drying and then grinding (e.g., by coil) the granules; and (iii) mixing the ground granules with the remaining excipient (extragranule excipient) to form a final mixture. In one embodiment, this method is followed by an encapsulation step.

[0176] In one embodiment, the in-particle excipients include a binder (e.g., starch) and a disintegrant (e.g., crospovidone), and the out-of-particle excipients include a diluent (e.g., mannitol) and a lubricant (e.g., stearic acid). In one embodiment, the ratio of in-particle excipients to out-of-particle excipients does not exceed approximately 33:67. In one embodiment, the ratio of in-particle excipients to out-of-particle excipients does not exceed approximately 23:77. In one embodiment, the ratio of in-particle excipients to out-of-particle excipients is approximately 23:77.

[0177] In one embodiment, prior to step (i), the active ingredient is passed through a 60-mesh (250 μm) sieve or a sieve with a smaller pore size.

[0178] In one embodiment, the particle size of the milled particles (e.g., measured by D50) matches (e.g., within ±10%, ±20%, or ±30%) the particle size of the excipient (e.g., a diluent, such as mannitol) as the main component.

[0179] In some embodiments, the dosage forms or pharmaceutical compositions provided herein are prepared by a compaction method. In one embodiment, the compaction method includes the steps of: (i) mixing an active ingredient (e.g., compound 1 or an enantiomer, mixture of enantiomers, tautomers, isotopes, or pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof) with a first portion of excipients (intragranule excipients) to form an intragranule mixture; (ii) passing the intragranule mixture through a compaction mill to form dry granules; and (iii) mixing the dry granules with the remaining excipients (extragranule excipients) to form a final mixture. In one embodiment, step (i) includes premixing the active ingredient with a small portion of a binder (e.g., starch) and then mixing it with the remaining intragranule excipients. In one embodiment, this method is followed by an encapsulation step.

[0180] In one embodiment, prior to step (i), the active ingredient is passed through a 60-mesh (250 μm) sieve or a sieve with a smaller pore size.

[0181] In one embodiment, the in-particle excipients include binders (e.g., starch), diluents (e.g., mannitol), disintegrants (e.g., cropovidone), flow aids (e.g., silica), and lubricants (e.g., sodium stearate fumarate), while the out-of-particle excipients include flow aids (e.g., silica) and lubricants (e.g., sodium stearate fumarate). In one embodiment, the ratio of in-particle excipients to out-of-particle excipients is not less than approximately 67:33. In one embodiment, the ratio of in-particle excipients to out-of-particle excipients is not less than approximately 98:2.

[0342] 6.2 Cell-based assays using compound 1

[0343] The following are examples of cell-based assays that utilize typical non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL) cell lines to determine the antiproliferative and apoptotic activities of compound 1.

[0344] Assays for cell proliferation and viability using the SU-DHL-4 cell line: The following exemplary assays utilize DLBCL cell lines, such as the SU-DHL-4 cell line treated for 120 hours (Deutsche sammlon von Mikroorganismen und Zellkulturen GmbH [DSMZ]: catalog number ACC-495). The seeding density of SU-DHL-4 can be optimized to ensure linearity of assays in 1536-well plates.

[0345] Using an acoustic dispenser (EDC ATS-100), compound 1 at increased concentrations (from 0.5 nM to 10 μM) was spotted into empty 1536-well plates in a 20-spot dilution pattern (non-uniformly spaced data points). The DMSO concentration was kept constant, with a final test concentration of 0.1% DMSO. Prior to the assay, SU-DHL-4 cells were grown in RPMI-1640 (Roswell Park Memorial Institute-1640) medium containing 10% FBS (fetal bovine serum: HyClone) and expanded in culture flasks to provide sufficient raw materials. Cells were then diluted to 500 cells per well in 5 μL volumes and added directly to the 1536-well plates containing the added compound. Cells were grown at 37°C and 5% CO2 for 120 hours. When cells begin to be exposed to the compound (t0), according to the manufacturer's (Promega Corporation, Madison, WI) instructions, the luminescence level is quantified by measuring the presence of 5′-adenosine triphosphate (ATP) in living cells at a 1 volume: 2 volume ratio. luminescent cell viability assay (Cell) The Luminescent Cell Viability Assay was used to assess the initial number of viable cells. After 120 hours, the cells were analyzed using Cell... Cell viability was assessed and luminescence was read. All growth inhibition curves were processed and evaluated using Activity Base (IDBS, Alameda, CA). Cell viability IC50 was calculated using a four-parameter logistic model (sigmoidal dose-response model). 50 value:

[0355] Compound 1 was found to be active in SU-DHL-4 cell proliferation assays, with an IC50 value of 1. 50 <0.2μM.

[0356] Cell proliferation and viability assays using blood cell lines: The exemplary antiproliferative assays described below used the exemplary blood cell lines described below. The in vitro growth inhibitory activity of compound 1 described herein was evaluated using 384-well flow cytometry.

[0362] ABC = Activated B-cell-like cells; FBS = Fetal bovine serum; GCB = Germinal center B-cells; IMDM = Iscove modified Dulbecco medium; NEAA = Non-essential amino acids; RPMI = RPMI 1640.

[0363] Cell lines were seeded in 384-well plates and evaluated using either compound 1 at concentrations increased from 0.00015 μM to 10 μM or a dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) control. The final concentration of DMSO was 0.1% (v / v). After adding compound 1 or DMSO and incubating for 120 hours, cells were analyzed by flow cytometry using Annexin V and the live-cell non-permeable DNA dye DRAQ7. Thermo Fisher Scientific (TFS) analysis was used to determine cell number and cell death. In the early stages of apoptosis, phosphatidylserine translocates from the inner to the outer layer of the cell membrane, and Annexin V binds to exposed phosphatidylserine residues found on the surface of apoptotic cells. Intact live cells exclude the live dye DRAQ7, and the live dye DRAQ7 stains only cells that have died due to apoptosis or necrosis.

[0364] Then, flow cytometry data analysis was performed using FlowJo_v10 software to determine the number of viable cells (Annexin V and DRAQ7 double-negative cells) and the percentage of apoptotic cells (Annexin V positive cells) under each condition. The viable cell counts for each concentration were normalized relative to the DMSO control (as 100%) to calculate the percentage of remaining viable cells after treatment, and plotted using GraphPad Prism 7.03. The IC50 was then calculated by fitting a nonlinear regression curve using log(inhibitor) vs. normalized response-variable slope analysis on GraphPad Prism 7.03. 50 (50% inhibitory concentration) and E max (Maximum potency achieved) value. The area under the curve (AUC) was calculated by performing an AUC analysis on GraphPad Prism 7.03. Similarly, for apoptosis analysis, the percentage of apoptotic cells relative to DMSO in "early" (Annexin V positive and DRAQ7 negative) and "late" (Annexin V and DRAQ7 positive) apoptotic cell gates was plotted using GraphPad Prism 7.03. The AUC and EC50 of the apoptosis curve were calculated by performing an AUC analysis on GraphPad Prism 7.03 and fitting a nonlinear regression curve using log(agonist) vs. standardized response-variable slope analysis. 50 (The concentration of compounds that produce half of the maximum apoptosis response) and Y max (Maximum percentage of apoptosis achieved) value.

[0365] A set of dose-response proliferation curves and nonlinear curve-fit regression of blood cell lines were used to determine the IC50 of the percentage of viable cells. 50 AUC and E max (E of survivability) max The dose-response apoptosis curve was used to determine the percentage of apoptosis (EC5) between 100 at low doses and 0 at high doses (the latter corresponding to inhibition of all viable cells), and the EC5 was used to determine the percentage of apoptosis. 50 AUC and Y max (Y-cell apoptosis) maxThe value varied between 0 at low doses and 100 at high doses (the latter corresponding to the death of all cells). Tumor cells were exposed to serially diluted (0.00015 μM to 10 μM) compounds 1 or a dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) control for 5 days. Viability and apoptosis of all cell lines were assessed by Annexin V / 7-aminoactinomycin D (7-AAD) flow cytometry. Compound 1 showed antiproliferative and / or apoptotic activity in almost all tested blood cell lines, as shown in the table below.

[0371] 6.3 Excipient compatibility

[0372] Excipient compatibility study design

[0373] The purpose of the excipient compatibility study is to evaluate the effect of each excipient on the stability of compound 1, to classify excipients in each functional category, and to provide a rational basis for the selection of excipients.

[0374] The table below lists the composition of the excipient compatibility blends. Excipients have many functions, including diluents, binders, disintegrants, flow aids, and lubricants. Given the relatively high solubility of compound 1, dissolution may not be a critical issue compared to low doses (as low as 0.1 mg). Therefore, surfactants are not included in this excipient evaluation.

[0375] Due to the low dosage specifications, segregation and content uniformity (CU) variations may be major process challenges. Granulation processes (rolling or high-shear wet granulation) may offer a better option than direct mixing to minimize segregation. Therefore, for each formulation mixture, in addition to powder mixtures, compacted slug samples were prepared to simulate roller pressing conditions, and wet & dry samples were prepared to simulate wet granulation process conditions.

[0376] The mixture was placed under open conditions of 5°C (control), 50°C (dry), and 50°C / 75% RH (humid) for 2 weeks to evaluate the chemical and chiral stability of the samples. Two copies of the sample were prepared for each time point and condition.

[0377] Table 8. Composition of excipient compatibility mixtures

[0378]

[0379]

[0380] Excipient compatibility scheme

[0381] For each mixture in the table, different forms (blend mix, lumps, and wet & dried mix) are used to simulate direct mixing, rolling, and wet pelleting process conditions.

[0382] For each formulation mixture, accurately weigh 120 mg of the HCl salt of compound 1 (form A) and the corresponding excipient. Prepare the mixture by mixing at 32 rpm for 20 minutes on a Turbula mixer. For blister samples, press the mixture into blister packs at 4.4 kN for 100 ms in an RRDI. For wet mixture samples, add 20% water to the mixture powder, magnetically stir for 5 minutes, and then dry in a 50°C oven for 1 hour.

[0383] For chemical and chiral stability, all samples were tested for stability by maintaining them at 5°C, 50°C, and 50°C / 75%RH for 2 weeks. The following two tables show the chemical and chiral analysis data, respectively.

[0395] 6.4 Stability of the prototype formulation

[0396] Prototype formulation design

[0397] Based on the results of excipient compatibility studies, the original capsule formulation was selected, as shown in the table below.

[0398] For direct mixing and rolling processes, both MCC and pregelatinized starch are used as binders in prototype formulations because they exhibit similar stability in terms of excipient compatibility; silica is used as a flow aid; and magnesium stearate and sodium stearate fumarate are used as lubricants.

[0399] For wet granulation processes, MCC and pregelatinized starch are used, although pregelatinized starch shows slightly better performance than MCC in terms of excipient compatibility; silica is not used; stearic acid (not magnesium stearate or sodium stearate fumarate) is used as a lubricant.

[0400] Table 11. Prototype Formulation Combinations

[0401]

[0402] Preparation of prototype formulation

[0403] For direct-mix formulations (Cap-1, Cap-2, Cap-3), first pass the excipients through a 30-mesh / 595μm sieve and the API through a 60-mesh / 250μm sieve. Use geometric dilution to improve the homogeneity of the mixture – first mix the API with a small amount of starch or MCC at 15 rpm for 20 minutes, then mix the compound with the remaining excipients (except magnesium stearate) at 15 rpm for 20 minutes, repeat the compounding, rinse the compound with mannitol, and then finally mix at 15 rpm for 10 minutes. If magnesium stearate is used as a lubricant, add it last and mix at 15 rpm for another 3 minutes.

[0404] For compacted formulations (Cap-4, Cap-5, Cap-6), first pass the excipients through a 30-mesh / 595μm sieve and the API through a 60-mesh / 250μm sieve. Use geometric dilution to improve the uniformity of the mixture – first mix the API with a small amount of starch or MCC at 15 rpm for 20 minutes, then coil (457μm sieve) with the remaining in-granule excipients (except magnesium stearate) at 15 rpm for 20 minutes, coil again (457μm sieve), rinse the coil with mannitol, and then mix at 15 rpm for 10 minutes. If magnesium stearate is used as a lubricant, add the magnesium stearate portion of the granules last and mix at 15 rpm for another 3 minutes. Then, pass the in-granule mixture through a Gerteis Polygran compactor (grooved roller, roller speed 2 rpm, roller gap 2.0 mm, rolling force 4 kN / cm, sieve aperture 1.0 mm, granulator speed 50 rpm). Finally, mix the external lubricant with the dry particles.

[0405] For wet granulation formulations (Cap-7, Cap-8, Cap-9), all excipients (except lubricant) and APIs are first passed through a 30-mesh / 595 μm sieve. They are then mixed for 10 minutes in a Freund Vector high-shear granulator bowl at an impeller speed of 300 rpm and a shredder speed of 3000 rpm. Following this, 20% water is sprayed at 30 g / min using the same impeller speed and shredder speed, followed by 1 minute of wet massing. The wet granules are then passed through a 5-mesh / 4 mm sieve and dried in a Mini Glatt fluidized bed dryer (inlet air temperature 50°C, inlet air flow rate 50 CFM, product temperature NMT 42°C). The dried granules are then passed through a comul (610 μm sieve) and mixed with stearic acid (lubricant) screened at 30 mesh at 15 rpm for 10 minutes.

[0406] The final mixture was encapsulated in a Bosch GKF 702 encapsulator into No. 4 white opaque HPMC capsules with a fill weight of 75 mg.

[0407] The table below shows the preliminary test results for prototype formulation batches under different process conditions. For the same formulation composition, batches using the milling process consistently had smaller AV values ​​(Cap-4 vs Cap-1, Cap-5 vs Cap-2, Cap-6 vs Cap-3) than batches using the direct mixing process; therefore, for the production of HCl salt drug products of Compound 1, the milling process is superior to the direct mixing process for obtaining better content uniformity. Different processes affect chemical stability. Compared with direct mixing, the total chemical degradation after the milling process does not change significantly; however, degradation increases after the wet granulation process, which means that the wet granulation process may have a higher level of chemical stability risk than the milling process. Chiral purity is not affected by different process conditions.

[0408] Table 12. Batch Results of the Prototype Formulation

[0409]

[0410] *AV: Acceptable value

[0411] Stability of the original formulation

[0412] Each formulation was encapsulated in 50 100cc HDPE bottles, induction sealed, with 10 capsules per bottle. 35 bottles contained 2g of desiccant, and 15 bottles did not contain desiccant. Stability was evaluated under accelerated conditions (40°C / 75%RH and 50°C / 75%RH).

[0413] Figure 1A , Figure 1B and Figure 1C The chemical stability (total impurities) of the prototype formulation was demonstrated for up to 12 weeks at 40°C / 75%RH without desiccant, 40°C / 75%RH with desiccant, and 50°C / 75%RH with desiccant.

[0414] At 40°C / 75% RH, the effect of desiccant vs. no desiccant on stability was investigated. Formulations packaged with desiccant showed a significantly slower rate of API impurity growth than those without desiccant packaging. This indicates that humidity control is important for the stability of pharmaceutical products, and hydrolysis is one of the main degradation pathways of the HCl salt of Compound 1. Desiccants are needed to maintain the shelf life of pharmaceutical products containing the HCl salt of Compound 1.

[0415] For the three rolled formulations, at 40°C / 75%RH with desiccant, Cap-5 and Cap-6 formulations showed similar total impurity growth rates, slower than Cap-4. At 50°C / 75%RH with desiccant, the total impurity growth rate was faster than at 40°C, but the order of preference among the formulations remained unchanged. The main compositional difference between Cap-4 and Cap-5 / Cap-6 is that magnesium stearate is used as a lubricant in Cap-4, while sodium stearate fumarate (SSF) is used as a lubricant in Cap-5 / Cap-6. Therefore, SSF is superior to magnesium stearate as a lubricant in rolled formulations. The binder used in Cap-5 is pregelatinized starch, while microcrystalline cellulose is used in Cap-6. Cap-5 and Cap-6 have similar chemical stability.

[0416] For the three wet granulation formulations, at 40°C / 75%RH with a desiccant, Cap-9 exhibited a faster impurity growth rate than Cap-7 and Cap-8. At 50°C / 75%RH with a desiccant, the impurity growth rate was faster than at 40°C, but the order of impurity growth among the formulations remained unchanged; Cap-8 had a slightly faster impurity growth rate than Cap-7.

[0417] Cap-5 and Cap-7 have similar formulation compositions but are produced using different granulation processes. The wet-granulated formulation (Cap-7) has a higher initial impurity content than the rolled-up formulation (Cap-5), which is likely due to the process; however, during the stability period, they have similar rates of total impurity growth.

[0418] Figure 2A , Figure 2B and Figure 2C The data show the chiral stability of the prototype formulation for up to 12 weeks at 40℃ / 75%RH without desiccant, 40℃ / 75%RH with desiccant, and 50℃ / 75%RH with desiccant.

[0419] At 40°C / 75%RH, the effect of desiccant vs. no desiccant on stability showed that formulations packaged with desiccant exhibited a significantly slower chiral isomerization rate than those without desiccant packaging. This implies that humidity control is important for the chiral stability of pharmaceutical products, and that desiccants are necessary to maintain the shelf life of pharmaceutical products.

[0420] For the crushed formulations, at 40°C / 75% RH with desiccant, all three formulations exhibited slow chiral isomerization rates—a decrease in chiral purity of approximately 1% over 12 weeks. The order of chiral stability appeared to be Cap-4 > Cap-5 > Cap-6. At 50°C / 75% RH with desiccant, the chiral isomerization rate was faster than at 40°C, but the order among the formulations remained unchanged. It appears that chiral stability poses a less significant risk to drug shelf life than chemical stability.

[0421] For wet-granulation formulations, at 40°C / 75% RH with desiccant, all three formulations also exhibited slow chiral isomerization rates—with a decrease in chiral purity of less than 1.5% over 12 weeks. The order of chiral stability appeared to be Cap-8 > Cap-7 > Cap-9. At 50°C / 75% RH with desiccant, the chiral isomerization rate was faster than at 40°C, but the order among the formulations remained unchanged.

[0422] Cap-5 and Cap-7 have similar formulation compositions but are processed using different granulation processes. Both formulations initially exhibit the same level of chiral purity; after 12 weeks, the wet-granulated formulation (Cap-7) shows a slightly lower level of chiral purity than the rolled-up formulation (Cap-5). Cap-5 and Cap-7 were selected for further process development.

[0423] 6.5 Process Evaluation and Development

[0424] (a) Evaluation and development of high-shear wet granulation process

[0425] In-particle excipient / out-of-particle excipient ratio

[0426] The recommended clinical dosage of the HCl salt of compound 1 is as low as 0.1 mg, packed into 75 mg capsules, representing a drug loading of approximately 0.14%. Such an extremely low drug loading poses challenges to the process and content uniformity. High-shear wet granulation not only effectively disperses the API with high shear forces during mixing but also forms particles to prevent segregation during bulk storage and packaging. For low-dose formulations with content uniformity issues, high-shear wet granulation may be a good option.

[0427] To improve the content uniformity of Cap-7 batches (CU% RSD 6.1%, AV 16.5), the wet granulation process was optimized. Since the API dosage was fixed, the ratio of in-granule excipients to out-of-granule excipients was reduced (from 95 / 5 to 23 / 77), increasing the drug loading of the in-granule mixture from 0.14% to 0.6%. Figure 3This shows a flowchart of the wet granulation process. In the original process, everything except the lubricant was inside the granules; in the new process, API, pregelatinized starch, and cropovidone are inside the granules, while mannitol and the lubricant are outside the granules.

[0428] Cap-10 was prepared using an in-particle excipient / out-particle excipient ratio of 23:77, while Cap-7 was prepared using an in-particle excipient / out-particle excipient ratio of 95:5. The treatment results for Cap-10 (CU% RSD 2.5%, AV 5.27) indicate that reducing the in-particle excipient / out-particle excipient ratio can improve content uniformity for wet granulation processes. To confirm this conclusion, repeat batches were prepared – Cap-11 was prepared using the same process as Cap-7, with an initial high in-particle excipient / out-particle excipient ratio of 95:5; while Cap-13 was prepared using the same process as Cap-10. The process results in the table below show good batch repeatability – the CU% RSDs for Cap-7 and Cap-11 are comparable (6.1 vs 6.8), but significantly higher than the batch repeatability of Cap-10 and Cap-13 (2.5 vs 3.3). Therefore, it has been confirmed that the novel wet granulation process with a lower ratio of in-particle to out-of-particle excipients will improve the content uniformity of low-dose formulations.

[0431] API screen mesh size

[0432] API particle size also affects content uniformity, as smaller API particles disperse better. The HCl salt API crystals of Compound 1 tend to aggregate; although high shear mixing forces can break down the aggregates, it is less efficient than sieving for low-dose formulations. For processes with high in-particle / out-of-particle excipient ratios, batch Cap-12 passed API through a 60-mesh (250 μm) sieve compared to Cap-7 and Cap-11 using a 30-mesh (595 μm) sieve. As a result, the CU% RSD significantly decreased from 6.1% for Cap-7 to 3.5% for Cap-12. This trend also holds true for newer wet granulation processes with lower in-particle / out-of-particle excipient ratios—changing the API sieve mesh size from 30 to 60 reduced the CU% RSD from 2.5% for Cap-10 to 2.0% for Cap-14. Therefore, passing API through smaller sieve openings can improve batch content uniformity.

[0433] Grinding particle size matching

[0434] In a wet granulation process with a low in-particle / out-of-particle excipient ratio (23 / 77), API is mixed with starch, cropovidone, and water to form wet granules, which are then dried and comul-milled. The milled granules are then mixed with mannitol and a lubricant to form the final mixture. Since mannitol powder constitutes the majority of the final mixture (approximately 72% w / w), it is important that the particle size of the milled granules be matched to that of the mannitol to minimize segregation.

[0435] Cap-13 is a repeat batch of Cap-10, using a lower in-particle / out-of-particle excipient ratio. Cap-10 has good CU data, but Cap-13's CU data is not as good (3.3 vs 2.5). The table below lists the particle size distribution of Cap-10, Cap-13, and the mannitol excipient (Pearlitol 200SD). The particle size of the Cap-10 milled particles (D50 145 μm) is very well matched with that of the mannitol (D50 148 μm); however, the particle size of the Cap-13 milled particles (D50 259 μm) is much larger than that of the mannitol (D50 148 μm), which may explain why Cap-13's CU data is not as good as Cap-10's. The particle size of the final mixture of Cap-10 and Cap-13 is similar because mannitol is the major component and dominates the average particle size of the final mixture, rather than the milled particles.

[0436] In another duplicate batch (Cap-14), the particle size of the abrasive particles was monitored and controlled before mixing with mannitol and lubricant. The particle size (D50 139 μm) was matched to that of Cap-10 with the abrasive particles and mannitol, which explains why the CU% RSD (2.0) of Cap-14 was as good as that of Cap-10 (2.5).

[0439] NT: Not tested

[0440] SEM images of the excipients, ground particles, and final mixture (not shown in this paper) were obtained to better understand particle size and surface morphology. SEM images of pregelatinized starch (Starch 1500) and mannitol (Pearlitol 200SD) show that most pregelatinized starch particles are smaller than mannitol particles. SEM images of the Cap-10 ground particles show that the ground particles are primarily aggregates of starch particles, and the particle size is similar to that of mannitol. SEM images of the final Cap-10 mixture show that it consists of mannitol particles.

[0441] In summary, for high-shear wet granulation processes, reducing the ratio of in-granule to out-of-granule excipients, passing the API through a sieve with a smaller aperture, and matching the size of the ground particles with that of mannitol can improve the content uniformity of low-dose formulations.

[0442] Evaluation and development of rolling technology

[0443] In-particle excipient / out-of-particle excipient ratio

[0444] The recommended clinical dosage of the HCl salt of compound 1 is as low as 0.1 mg, packed in 75 mg capsules, representing approximately 0.14% drug loading. Such an extremely low drug loading presents challenges for the manufacturing process and content uniformity. While the compaction process itself does not help to achieve uniform API dispersion, it does help prevent subsequent segregation; to achieve good content uniformity, the API should be well dispersed prior to the compaction step.

[0445] Cap-5 batches were subjected to geometric dilution to improve mixing homogeneity, yielding acceptable content homogeneity results (3.1% RSD, AV 7.4). To further improve content homogeneity, the in-particle drug loading was increased before compaction. Since the amount of API is fixed, the in-particle / out-of-particle excipient ratio needed to be reduced (from 98 / 2 to 14 / 86) to increase the drug loading of the in-particle mixture from 0.14% to 1%. Figure 4 Show the flowchart of the RC process.

[0446] Cap-5 was initially rolled using a 98:2 ratio of in-granule excipients to out-of-granule excipients, while Cap-15 was prepared using a new rolling process with a 14:86 ratio of in-granule excipients to out-of-granule excipients. Since starch alone cannot be successfully rolled, in Cap-15, the excipient ratio in the in-granule portion remains similar to that in the out-of-granule portion.

[0447] In Cap-5 batches, the API is passed through a 60-mesh (250 μm) sieve before mixing; however, since the use of a 60-mesh sieve is not common in mass production, a 30-mesh (595 μm) sieve is used for both the API and excipients in Cap-15 batches. There are no other process changes between Cap-15 and Cap-5.

[0448] The table below summarizes the process results for the rolling development batches. The CU% RSD for Cap-15 is higher than that for Cap-5 (9.0 vs 3.1). Even with additional mixing and co-milling steps, the content uniformity of the repeated batch (Cap-16) did not change significantly (CU% RSD of 8.6). Unlike wet granulation, the new method using a lower in-particle / out-of-particle excipient ratio (14:86) did not improve the content uniformity of low-dose formulations in the rolling process.

[0449] Table 15. Summary of process results for rolling development batches

[0450] Batch number Specification API screen Excipient screen Content determination (%LC) CU%RSD AV Cap-5 0.1mg 60 mesh 30 mesh 98.29 3.1 7.42 Cap-15 0.1mg 30 mesh 30 mesh 103.4 9.0 19.9 Cap-16 0.1mg 30 mesh 30 mesh 95.5 8.6 20.2 Cap-17 0.1mg 30 mesh 30 mesh 103.8 5.8 13.9 Cap-18 0.1mg 60 mesh 30 mesh 92.4 2.9 11.9

[0451] Particle size analysis was performed on the ground particles and the final mixture of the compacted batches, and the results are shown in the table below. For Cap-15 and Cap-16 batches, the D(50) values ​​of the ground particles and the final mixture were similar; however, there was a significant difference in the D(90) values ​​between the ground particles and the final mixture, indicating that the ground particles contained too many large particles, which did not mix well with the excipients when the excipients constituted the majority of the final mixture. Further work is needed to identify suitable process conditions to control the particle size of the ground particles to match the particle size of the excipients in processes with low in-particle / excipient ratios. However, since acceptable CU has already been achieved with conventional high in-particle / excipient ratio processes, further work on a new process is not necessary.

[0454] API screen mesh size

[0455] API particle size also affects content uniformity, as smaller API particles tend to disperse better. API crystals of the HCl salt of Compound 1 readily aggregate, and the mixing process is too gentle to break up large aggregates. Therefore, sieving the API powder through a sieve before mixing is an effective method to break up large aggregates.

[0456] For the initial high in-particle / out-of-particle excipient ratio process, batch Cap-5 passed API through a 60-mesh (250 μm) sieve and achieved an acceptable CU% RSD (3.1%); however, when Cap-17 increased the API sieve aperture to 30 mesh (595 μm), the CU% RSD increased to 5.8%. When Cap-18 reduced the API sieve aperture to 60 mesh (250 μm), the CU% RSD recovered to 2.9%. Therefore, passing API through a smaller sieve aperture can improve the content uniformity of the rolled batch.

[0457] In summary, for the rolling process, passing the API through a 60-mesh sieve instead of a 30-mesh sieve is important for the content uniformity of low-dose formulations.

[0458] 6.6 Evaluation and Production of Formulations

[0459] Cap-5 and Cap-7 have similar formulation compositions but are produced using different granulation processes. The wet-granulated formulation (Cap-7) has a 0.7% higher initial total impurity content than the rolled formulation (Cap-5), likely due to increased chemical degradation caused by the wetting and drying processes involved in wet granulation; however, the total impurity growth rates were similar for both batches in stability studies. Both formulations require a desiccant to maintain a suitable shelf life. Overall, the wet granulation process carries a higher risk of chemical instability than the rolled process. For chiral purity, the two formulations are similar.

[0460] Manufacturability was evaluated using content uniformity and content analysis values. Based on process development data, although the content uniformity (CU% RSD) of wet granulation batches was better than that of rolling, the content uniformity of rolling batches was still acceptable. Compared to wet granulation, rolling has a lower risk of API loss (content analysis value) because the rolling process is simpler.

[0461] Because the HCl salt API of compound 1 has relatively high solubility compared to the recommended dose level, the risk of drug product dissolution is low. Figure 5 The performance (dissolution profiles) of the formulations produced by the two granulation processes are shown. Although the wet granulation batch (Cap-10) has a faster dissolution rate, the rolled batch (Cap-5) still has a sufficiently good dissolution rate.

[0462] The crushed and Cap-5 formulations were selected for further evaluation. The following three tables list the formulation composition for different dosage strengths. Hydroxypropyl methylcellulose (HPMC) was chosen instead of gelatin as the capsule shell material due to the need for a desiccant, as gelatin capsules would break during storage in the presence of a desiccant.

[0474] Figure 6 The rolling process flow chart for the above batch is shown. The production process of the HCl salt capsules of compound 1 is described as follows: (i) the HCl salt of compound 1 is premixed with a small portion of pregelatinized starch, and then mixed with the remaining in-granule excipients (pregelatinized starch, mannitol, crospovidone, silica, sodium stearate); (ii) the in-granule mixture is passed through a rolling mill; (iii) the out-of-granule silica and sodium stearate are sieved and added to the granules and mixed; and (iv) capsules of appropriate size are filled to the specified weight.

[0475] Three batches (Cap-19, Cap-20, and Cap-21, in 0.1 mg, 0.5 mg, and 1.5 mg dosage strengths, respectively) were produced and packaged in 3 kg quantities. The stability results for each batch are listed in the table below. The capsules were packaged in 100cc opaque high-density polyethylene (HDPE) bottles with inductive seals and tamper-evident, child-proof polypropylene caps. Each bottle contained 21 capsules and 2g of desiccant.
