Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention belongs to the field of medicine, and particularly relates to a solid pharmaceutical composition containing temozolomide and its application. Background Art
[0002] Glioma is the most common primary central nervous system tumor in children and adolescents, accounting for 40% - 60% of all pediatric intracranial tumors. Among pediatric gliomas, WHO grade III or IV high-grade gliomas (HGG) account for about 8 - 12% of pediatric brain tumors, but they have a relatively high degree of malignancy, and the available treatment drugs are very limited, with a 5-year survival rate of less than 20%.
[0003] In the treatment of pediatric HGG, temozolomide remains an important treatment drug. The "Diagnosis and Treatment Specification for Pediatric Glioma (2021 Edition)" points out that the optional treatment regimens include temozolomide + lomustine. The "NCCN Clinical Practice Guidelines: Pediatric Central Nervous System Tumors (2023.V2)" in the United States, based on the COG ACNS0423 study, preferably recommends radiotherapy combined with temozolomide and lomustine for adjuvant treatment of pediatric HGG in children 3 years of age and older. In 2022, the working group on pediatric HGG of the Society for Pediatric Oncology in Europe (SIOPE) reached a consensus that all 32 countries agreed that pediatric hemispheric HGG should receive radiotherapy and adjuvant chemotherapy after surgical resection, and 30 (94%) of these countries recommended the use of temozolomide during initial radiotherapy.
[0004] The only commercially available oral formulation of temozolomide is a capsule formulation. The original research product was developed and marketed by Schering-Plough Corporation and is now marketed by Merck & Co., Inc. In January 1999, it was approved for marketing through the centralized review procedure in the European Union (trade name ); in August 1999, it was marketed in the United States (trade name ); in July 2006, it was marketed in Japan (trade name ); in 2008, the original research product was marketed in China (trade name or ). The marketed specifications of Merck & Co., Inc. in China and Japan are 20 mg and 100 mg.
[0005] The currently marketed temozolomide capsules are not suitable for the pediatric population, especially children under 6 years old, in terms of both the administration method (it is difficult for children to swallow capsules) and the flexibility of dose adjustment (administering according to body surface area). For pediatric patients who have difficulty swallowing temozolomide capsules in hospitals in Europe, the United States, and China, parents and caregivers need to open the capsules and mix the contents with soft food for administration. The stability of temozolomide when mixed with some foods is not good; there are literature reports that 4 food carriers (applesauce, chocolate cream, infant milk, mashed potatoes) have a significant impact on the stability of temozolomide, and the aminimidazolecarboxamide in 3 of these carriers increases significantly over time. Since children are in the stage of physical development, the dosage of medications is generally calculated according to the age, weight, or body surface area of children based on the adult dosage. Clinically, temozolomide is administered according to body surface area, while the temozolomide capsules marketed in China are in several fixed specifications.
[0006] To meet the clinical needs of patients, the United States Pharmacopeia has included the preparation method of temozolomide compounded oral suspension. The contents of temozolomide capsules, additional excipients (povidone PVP K30, citric acid), water, and the Ora-plus and Ora-Sweet solvents from Paddock Company are mixed to prepare an oral suspension for administration. The oral suspension should be stored in the refrigerator and used within 60 days. It needs to be shaken well before use. Since it is necessary to pour out the contents of the capsules, there is a risk of drug exposure. Therefore, it is required that this preparation process be carried out in a biosafety cabinet.
