AI Technical Summary
Current radiopharmaceuticals, such as those containing Actinium-225, face challenges in stability, leading to degradation and increased radioactive impurities, which limits their shelf-life and effectiveness, especially for treating somatostatin receptor-positive neuroendocrine tumors, as they decay and generate reactive chemicals that can react with the drug substance.
Development of liquid radiopharmaceutical formulations, specifically 225Ac-DOTA-TATE, that are stable for at least 120 hours, comprising a radionuclide conjugate with stabilizing agents and an aqueous vehicle, allowing for administration in a form that maintains radionuclide binding and stability, even when stored for extended periods.
The enhanced stability of 225Ac-DOTA-TATE formulations ensures effective treatment of somatostatin receptor-positive neuroendocrine tumors by maintaining radionuclide binding and reducing radioactive impurities, enabling administration at remote locations and improving therapeutic outcomes.

[0001] WSGR Docket No.59541-743.602 METHODS FOR TREATING SSTR POSITIVE CANCER CROSS REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATIONS
[0001] This application claims the benefit of U.S. Provisional Application No.63 / 504,696, filed on May 26, 2023, International Application Serial No. PCT / US2023 / 024352, filed on June 2, 2023, and U.S. Provisional Application No.63 / 622,465, filed on January 18, 2024, each of which is incorporated herein by reference in its entirety. BACKGROUND
[0002] In the United States, cancer is the leading cause of death for those under 65 years of age, and it accounted for about 21% of all deaths in 2018. Neuroendocrine tumors (NETs) arise from neuroendocrine cells and most commonly develop in the lung, digestive tract and pancreas. NETs are one of the cancers that need systemic therapies because either they are inoperable, or they are diagnosed at an advanced stage with distant spread of tumor cells. Traditional radiotherapies such as external beam radiation therapy have been used for decades as a standard-of-care treatment for diagnosed cancer patients. While some patients respond to external beam radiation therapy, many others do not. Further, metastasis and circulating tumor cells can spread and remain in the bloodstream or bodily fluids after standard-of-care treatment and lead to resistance to therapy. The presence of cancer cells in various parts of the body reduces the therapeutic efficacy of traditional radiotherapies. Accordingly, strategies for targeted radiotherapies are being developed for better cancer treatment and diagnosis. One of the major challenges in the production of radiopharmaceutical drugs is to extend the shelf-life of product to allow treatment of patients at remote locations from the manufacturer site. There remains a need for compositions of radionuclides, e.g., alpha- particle emitting radionuclides, that have improved stability and shelf lives. SUMMARY
[0003] One of the major challenges in the production of radiopharmaceutical drugs is to extend the shelf-life of product to allow treatment of patients at remote locations from the manufacturer site. As radionuclides, such as Actinium-225, decay, a series of highly reactive chemicals are generated. In some cases, they can react with the drug substance, e.g., causing degradation of the radioisotope-containing drug and increasing radioactive impurity overtime. In one aspect, provided herein are liquid radiopharmaceutical formulations that provide enhanced stability for alpha-emitting radionuclide such as Actinium-225. In one aspect, provided herein are liquid radiopharmaceutical formulations comprising225Ac-DOTA-TATE that are stable for at least 120 hours.

Therefore, single stereochemical isomers as well as enantiomeric and diastereomeric mixtures of the present compounds are within the scope of the disclosure.
[0075] The term “peptide” as used herein refers to a compound that includes two or more amino acids. A peptide described herein can comprise one or more unnatural amino acids. The term “peptide” also encompasses peptide mimetics. In the present disclosure, the term “amino acid” is used in its broadest meaning and it embraces not only natural amino acids but also derivatives thereof and artificial amino acids. For example, the term “amino acid” encompasses unnatural amino acids.
[0076] As used herein, the term “unnatural amino acid” refers to an amino acid other than the 20 amino acids that occur naturally in protein.
[0077] The term “protein” as used herein refers to a polypeptide (i.e., a string of at least 3 amino acids linked to one another by peptide bonds). Proteins can include moieties other than amino acids (e.g., may be glycoproteins, proteoglycans, etc.) and / or can be otherwise processed or modified. A protein can be a complete polypeptide as produced by and / or active in a cell (with or without a signal sequence). In some embodiments, a protein is or comprises a characteristic portion such as a polypeptide as produced by and / or active in a cell. A protein can include more than one polypeptide chain.
[0078] The term “peptide mimetic” or “mimetic” refers to biologically active compounds that mimic the biological activity of a peptide or a protein but are no longer entirely peptidic in chemical nature, e.g., they can contain non-peptide bonds (that are, bonds other than amide bonds between amino acids). As used herein, the term peptide mimetic is used in a broader sense to include molecules that are no longer completely peptidic in nature, such as pseudo-peptides, semi-peptides and peptoids. Whether completely or partially non-peptide, peptide mimetics described herein can provide a spatial arrangement of reactive chemical moieties that closely resemble the three-dimensional arrangement of active groups in the subject amino acid sequence or subject molecule on which the peptide mimetic is based. As a result of this similar active-site geometry, the peptide mimetic can have effects on biological systems that are similar to the biological activity of the subject entity.
[0079] In some embodiments, the peptide mimetics are substantially similar in both three-dimensional shape and biological activity to the subject amino acid sequence or subject molecule on which the peptide WSGR Docket No.59541-743.602 mimetic is based. Examples of methods of structurally modifying a peptide to create a peptide mimetic include the inversion of backbone chiral centers leading to D-amino acid residue structures that may, particularly at the N-terminus, lead to enhanced stability for proteolytical degradation without adversely affecting activity. An example is described in the paper “Tritiated D-ala1-Peptide T Binding”, Smith C. S. et al., Drug Development Res., 15, pp. 371-379 (1988). A second method is altering cyclic structure for stability, such as N to C interchain imides and lactames (Ede et al. in Smith and Rivier (Eds.) “Peptides: Chemistry and Biology”, Escom, Leiden (1991), pp. 268-270). An example of this is provided in conformationally restricted thymopentin-like compounds, such as those disclosed in US4457489. A third method is to substitute peptide bonds in the subject entity by pseudopeptide bonds that confer resistance to proteolysis.
[0080] Ranges provided herein are understood to be shorthand for all of the values within the range. For example, a range of 1 to 50 is understood to include any number, combination of numbers, or sub-range from the group consisting of 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 26, 27, 28, 29, 30, 31, 32, 33, 34, 35, 36, 37, 38, 39, 40, 41, 42, 43, 44, 45, 46, 47, 48, 49, or 50, as well as all intervening decimal values between the aforementioned integers such as, for example, 1.1, 1.2, 1.3, 1.4, 1.5, 1.6, 1.7, 1.8, and 1.9. With respect to sub-ranges, “nested sub-ranges” that extend from either end point of the range are specifically contemplated. For example, a nested sub-range of an exemplary range of 1 to 50 may comprise 1 to 10, 1 to 20, 1 to 30, and 1 to 40 in one direction, or 50 to 40, 50 to 30, 50 to 20, and 50 to 10 in the other direction.
[0081] As used herein, C1-Cx (or C1-x) includes C1-C2, C1-C3... C1-Cx. By way of example only, a group designated as “C1-C4” indicates that there are one to four carbon atoms in the moiety, i.e., groups containing 1 carbon atom, 2 carbon atoms, 3 carbon atoms or 4 carbon atoms. Thus, by way of example only, “C1-C4alkyl” indicates that there are one to four carbon atoms in the alkyl group, i.e., the alkyl group is selected from among methyl, ethyl, propyl, iso-propyl, n-butyl, iso-butyl, sec-butyl, and t-butyl. Also, by way of example, C0-C2alkylene includes a direct bond, -CH2-, and -CH2CH2- linkages.
[0082] The term “cyclized” or “cyclization” as used herein means that two amino acids apart from each other by at least one amino acid bind directly or bind indirectly to each other in one peptide to form a cyclic structure in the molecule. In some cases, the two amino acids bind via a linker or the like.
[0083] The term “subject” or “patient” encompasses mammals. Examples of mammals include, but are not limited to, any member of the Mammalian class: humans, non-human primates such as chimpanzees, and other apes and monkey species; farm animals such as cattle, horses, sheep, goats, swine; domestic animals such as rabbits, dogs, and cats; laboratory animals including rodents, such as rats, mice and guinea pigs, and the like. In one aspect, the mammal is a companion animal such as a dog or a cat. In one aspect, the mammal is a human.
[0084] The term "therapeutically effective amount" as used herein to refer to an amount effective at the dosage to achieve the desired therapeutic result. A therapeutically effective amount of a composition may vary depending on factors such as the individual's condition (e.g., age, sex, and weight), the radiopharmaceutical conjugate, and the method of administration (e.g., oral or parenteral). WSGR Docket No.59541-743.602 II. Technical Overview
[0085] Targeted Radiopharmaceuticals (TRP) are a new generation of nuclear medicine for cancer treatment or diagnosis. A TRP can selectively deliver high concentrations of radionuclide-containing molecules to the target cells such as a tumor, and no or very low concentrations to the undesired cells present in normal, healthy tissues. The process can be achieved by engineering the drug molecule with the high-affinity binder (e.g., targeting ligands) and linking it to the radioactive isotope. The biological targets of these binders are highly expressed on tumor cells and have low or no expression in healthy tissues and organs. When the radioisotope decays, it emits highly energic ionizing radiation in form of alpha, beta, and / or gamma particles. The released energy at the target sites can cause damage or death of the target tissues or be visualized by imaging scanner to achieve therapeutic or diagnostic purposes.
[0086] In some traditional radiopharmaceutical formulations, a very high concentration of stabilizer as to radiopharmaceutical is used. The high concentration can produce unknown biological effects and / or compromise therapeutic efficacy of the radiopharmaceutical. Due to the low efficiency of those stabilizers used in the past, significant dilution was needed to slow down the decomposition. As a result, larger volume of dose can require treatment via infusion instead of bolus injection under clinical setting. This is less desired for patients due to the prolonged stay at the infusion center and sometimes hospitalization. One of the major challenges in the production of radiopharmaceutical drugs is to extend the shelf-life of product to allow treatment of patients at remote locations from the manufacturer site. Increasing stability of radiopharmaceutical drug in formulated solution can resolve this challenge.
[0087] In some cases, with decay of the parent isotopes, daughter isotopes can be released into the solution. They can be non-radioactive or radioactive. When the daughter ions are radioactive, those non- bonded ions can create non-specific distribution of radioactivity in vivo and generate undesired toxicities. In addition, even if they are not radioactive, they can still bind to the metal chelation moiety on the radiopharmaceutical drug due to their higher affinity. The replacement of their parent ions can cause chemical decomposition of the drug substance. This process can also negatively impact the radiochemical purities overtime. When decay of Actinium-225-DOTA-containing drug starts, the isotope can first decay into Francium-221(I). The recoil energy of the process can be approximately 10000 times higher than any known chemical bond energy. It can cause the daughter ions to escape from their original chelator (e.g., DOTA). Due to the chemical nature of Francium-221 (I), in some cases, they cannot be recaptured by free DOTA-containing drug. As decay continues, more free daughter ions can enter the solution. Eventually, the majority of the decayed daughters can accumulate in the form of stable Bismuth-209 (III). Bismuth- 209 (III) can be strongly chelated with DOTA and compete with Ac-225 for binding to the parent drug, leading to further dissociation of Ac-225 from its chelator and generating additional radioactive free (unchelated) metal impurities.
[0088] The decay of radionuclides can be accompanied by emission of energy in the form of alpha, beta and / or gamma radiations. The energy can go into the radiopharmaceutical-containing solution and can break chemical bonds, generate reactive chemical species from solvent molecules, and further decompose the radiopharmaceutical drug directly or indirectly. This process can be referred to as radiolysis. Radiolysis WSGR Docket No.59541-743.602 can be particularly severer when a concentrated radioactive compound is present in small volume of solution. In the case of Actinium-225-DOTA-containing radiopharmaceuticals, Actinium-225 can decay into Francium-221, Astatine-217, Bismuth-213, Thallium-209, Polonium-213, Lead-209, and Bismuth-209 in sequence. The decay chain can contain four alpha particle emissions and two beta particle emissions. In addition, Francium-221 and Bismuth-213 can release up to 25% of their decay energy through gamma emission. The ionizing radiation can cause radiolysis of surrounding water molecules particularly produce Hā atoms, āOH radicals, H3O+ions and oxidizing agent hydrogen peroxide. These chemical species can be highly reactive. In some cases. they can react with the drug substance, cause degradation of the radioisotope-containing peptide drug, and increase radioactive impurity overtime.
[0089] Accordingly, provided herein are radiopharmaceutical compositions with improved stability, for example, compositions containing Actinium-225.
[0090] In one aspect, the present disclosure relates to a radionuclide solution with radioisotopes and its daughter ions. The solution composition can comprise ingredients which stabilize the radioactive drug substance from radiolysis and chemical decomposition. The increased stability of the drug substance can extend shelf-life of radiopharmaceuticals, as such to achieve their wide applications as a drug product for their diagnostic and therapeutic purpose.
[0091] In one aspect, the compositions described herein have increased stability of the radiopharmaceutical conjugate. The radiopharmaceutical composition can contain ingredients, such as radiopharmaceutical stabilizers, which stabilize the radioactive drug substance from radiolysis and chemical decomposition. The radiopharmaceuticals stabilizers can comprise reducing agents and / or radical scavengers, such as ascorbic acid to reduce the radiolysis. The composition of the present disclosure can have extended shelf-life. The compositions described herein can comprise one or more stabilizing agents. The stabilizing agents can prevent or delay radiolysis of the radiopharmaceutical conjugate. The stabilizing agents can prevent or delay decomposition of the radiopharmaceutical conjugate. The stabilizing agents can prevent or delay chemical decomposition of the radiopharmaceutical conjugate caused by radioactive decay-generated daughter ions. The stabilizing agents can prevent or delay chemical decomposition of the radiopharmaceutical conjugate caused by pH changes. The stabilizing agents can be added into the composition at a low concentration. The stabilizing agents can be optionally added into the composition at a low concentration. The increased stability of the radiopharmaceutical conjugate can achieve one or more applications in the field of medicine. The applications can comprise acting as a drug product for one or more diagnostic purposes. The applications can comprise acting as a drug product for one or more therapeutic purposes. A treatment plan for a patient or subject receiving the radiopharmaceutical compositions described herein can include treatment at remote locations. A treatment plan for a patient or subject receiving the radiopharmaceutical compositions described herein can include a shorter stay at the infusion center or at the hospital.
[0092] A radiopharmaceutical conjugate can comprise a radionuclide and a metal chelator. The radionuclide and the metal chelator can be linked by ionic and coordinate bonding. The radionuclides for therapeutic purpose can include Lutetium-177, Actinium-225, Yttrium-90, and Bismuth-213. The WSGR Docket No.59541-743.602 radionuclides for diagnostic purpose can include Gallium-68, Copper-64, and Indium-111. The chelator can further bind to a target binder, such as one that has a high-affinity with the target of the radiopharmaceutical conjugate, directly or via a linker covalently. Exemplary metal chelators can include aza-crown ether-based polycarboxylic acid such as 2,2ƍ,2ƍƍ,2ƍƍƍ-(1,4,7,10-Tetraazacyclododecane-1,4,7,10- tetrayl)tetraacetic acid (DOTA), or 1,4,7-Triazacyclononane-1,4,7-triacetic acid (NOTA).
