AI Technical Summary
Existing oral liquid formulations of enzalutamide, such as those described in WO 2018/037310, suffer from a bitter taste due to the presence of LABRASOL® and propylene glycol, which negatively impact palatability.
A novel oral liquid pharmaceutical composition of enzalutamide is formulated with enzalutamide, optionally including oil, surfactants and solubilizers like tocopherol succinate polyethylene glycol surfactant, polyoxyethylene castor oil surfactant, and polyethylene glycol caprylic/capric glyceride solubilizer, along with antioxidants and precipitation inhibitors, to improve taste and solubility.
The composition provides a palatable and therapeutically effective dose of enzalutamide in a convenient volume, enhancing patient compliance and reducing the tablet burden, particularly for elderly patients and those with dysphagia.

Abstract
Description
[Technical field]
[0001] CROSS-REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATIONS This application claims priority to Indian Patent Application No. 202111044703, filed on October 1, 2021, the entire contents of which are incorporated herein by reference.
[0002] Described herein are oral liquid pharmaceutical compositions comprising enzalutamide and therapeutic uses thereof. [Background technology]
[0003] Enzalutamide is a small molecule androgen receptor inhibitor. It has been shown to competitively inhibit androgen binding to the androgen receptor, resulting in the inhibition of the nuclear translocation of androgen receptors and their interaction with DNA. Enzalutamide is indicated for use in the treatment of patients with castration-resistant and metastatic castration-sensitive prostate cancer.
[0004] Oral solid compositions of enzalutamide have been approved for use. XTANDI® is available in film-coated tablet and liquid-filled soft gelatin capsule dosage forms. The tablets are available in 40 mg and 80 mg doses. Each capsule contains 40 mg of enzalutamide as a solution in caprylocaproyl polyoxylglyceride with butylated hydroxyanisole, butylated hydroxytoluene, gelatin, sorbitol sorbitan solution, glycerin, purified water, titanium dioxide, polyvinyl acetate, and black iron oxide as inactive ingredients. The recommended dose of XTANDI® is 160 mg once daily. Thus, patients should take four 40 mg capsules, four 40 mg tablets, or two 80 mg tablets daily as a single dose.
[0005] Oral liquid compositions of enzalutamide are disclosed in WO 2018 / 037310. However, the disclosed formulation contains large amounts of LABRASOL® and propylene glycol. LABRASOL® has been reported to have a bitter taste (see, e.g., Isabelle et.al, Advanced Drug Delivery Reviews 142;128-140 (2019)), and thus the compositions of WO 2018 / 037310 do not taste good.

[0074] The compositions described herein may contain any suitable amount of enzalutamide. For example, the compositions described herein may contain about 2.5% to about 6% w / w, such as about 2.5% w / w, about 3% w / w, about 4% w / w, about 5% w / w, about 6% w / w, and any amount therebetween. The compositions as described herein may contain about 20 mg to about 45 mg of enzalutamide per mL of the composition, for example, about 30 mg to about 45 mg of enzalutamide per mL of the composition, for example, about 20 mg, about 21 mg, about 22 mg, about 23 mg, about 24, about 25 mg, about 26 mg, about 27 mg, about 28 mg, about 29 mg, about 30 mg, about 31 mg, about 32 mg, about 33 mg, about 34 mg, about 35 mg, about 36 mg, about 37 mg, about 38 mg, about 39 mg, about 40 mg, about 41 mg, about 42 mg, about 43 mg, about 44 mg, and about 45 mg per mL of the composition. In some embodiments, the compositions as described herein contain about 15 mg of enzalutamide per mL of the composition. In some embodiments, the compositions as described herein contain about 27 mg of enzalutamide per mL of the composition. In another embodiment, the composition as described herein contains about 30 mg of enzalutamide per mL of composition. In another embodiment, the composition as described herein contains about 40 mg of enzalutamide per mL of composition.
[0075] As mentioned above, enzalutamide is typically formulated at a dose of about 160 mg / day. Thus, the compositions as described herein can provide a therapeutically effective dose (e.g., about 160 mg) in a convenient volume of the composition, such as about 3.5 mL to about 6.0 mL, e.g., about 5 mL, e.g., 6 mL. The therapeutically effective dose of enzalutamide can be provided in such a convenient volume of an oral liquid pharmaceutical composition, which is advantageous for patient convenience and can promote patient compliance with the treatment regimen, thereby improving the treatment outcome.
[0076] The compositions described herein may be provided in any dosage form suitable for oral liquid pharmaceutical compositions, including bulk dosage forms or unit dosage forms. In bulk dosage forms, a volume of the composition providing multiple doses (e.g., 150 mL or more) may be provided in a bottle. In unit dosage forms, a volume of the composition providing a single dose (e.g., 3.5-6.0 mL) may be provided in a bottle or pouch (e.g., stick pack or sachet). Alternatively, in unit dosage forms, a volume of the composition providing a single dose or a subdose thereof may be filled into one or more capsules. For example, a volume of the composition providing ¼ of the dose (e.g., 1-1.25 mL or 1.5 mL) may be filled into one capsule, such that the total dose is provided in four capsules. Similarly, a volume of the composition providing ½ of the dose (e.g., 2-2.5 mL or 3 mL) may be filled into one capsule, such that the total dose is provided in two capsules. Similarly, one capsule may be filled with a volume providing 1 / 3 of the dose (such as 1 mL of 6 mL) such that the total dose is provided in three capsules.
[0077] Thus, the compositions described herein can be packaged in unit dosage forms (unit doses) containing about 160 mg (inclusive) of enzalutamide per unit dosage form (unit dose).For example, the compositions described herein can be packaged in unit dose bottles, vials, pouches, stick packs, sachets, etc., each containing about 160 mg (inclusive).
[0078] As illustrated in the examples below, compositions as described herein may exhibit an in vitro dissolution profile of enzalutamide comparable to that of XTANDI® capsules. Additionally or alternatively, compositions as described herein may exhibit an in vivo pharmacokinetic profile comparable to that of XTANDI® capsules, as may be reflected in the mean plasma concentration-time profile following administration. Alternatively, compositions as described herein may achieve a pharmacokinetic profile that is not comparable to that of XTANDI® but is therapeutically effective, for example, for treating prostate cancer.

[0151] The following specific examples are included as illustrative examples of the compositions described herein. These examples are not intended to limit the scope of the present disclosure in any way. Other aspects of the present disclosure will be apparent to those skilled in the art to which the present disclosure pertains.
[0152] Example 1 Formulations containing 160 mg of enzalutamide per unit dose of the formulation were prepared using the ingredients shown in Tables 1, 2, 3 and 4 below.
[0153] [Table 1]
[0154] [Table 2]
[0155] [Table 3]
[0156] [Table 4]
[0157] [Table 5]
[0158] [Table 6]
[0159] The in vitro dissolution and in vivo pharmacokinetic properties of the formulations were evaluated using four XTANDI® capsules per dissolution vessel as a reference product. As noted above, XTANDI® capsules are soft gelatin capsules containing 40 mg of enzalutamide in a liquid formulation.
[0160] In vitro dissolution testing was performed according to the USP Type II paddle method at 50 rpm in 900 mL of 0.1 N HCl with 0.3% cetyltrimethylammonium bromide (CTAB) dissolution medium maintained at 37° C.±0.5° C. The release profiles of formulations 1 and 2 are shown in FIG. 1. The release profiles of formulations 3, 4, 5, and 6 are shown in FIG. 2. The release profiles of formulations 7, 8, and 9 are shown in FIG. 3. The release profiles of formulations 10, 11, 12, 13, and 14 are shown in FIG. 8. The release profiles of formulations 15, 16, and 17 are shown in FIG. 9. The formulations showed complete release of enzalutamide and, when compared to XTANDI® capsules, showed similar release of enzalutamide.
[0161] In vitro dissolution testing was performed according to the USP Type II paddle method at 100 rpm in 500 mL of 0.001N HCl dissolution medium (without CTAB) maintained at 37° C.±0.5° C. Release profiles are shown in Figures 6 and 7, with the release profiles of formulations 1, 2, 3, and 4 shown in Figure 6 and the release profiles of formulations 5, 6, 7, 8, and 9 shown in Figure 7. The release profiles of formulations 10, 11, 12, 13, and 14 are shown in Figure 10. The release profiles of formulations 15, 16, and 17 are shown in Figure 11. As reported in the tables and figures below, all formulations released more than 40% of the enzalutamide in 10 minutes compared to XTANDI® capsules which released less than 10%.
[0162] [Table 7]
[0163] [Table 8]
[0164] In an in vivo study, 160 mg doses of enzalutamide formulations 1 and 2 as described above were administered to male beagle dogs, and plasma levels of enzalutamide were measured periodically over a 96-hour period. Figure 4 shows the mean plasma concentration-time profiles. As shown in the figure, formulation 1 exhibited a similar plasma concentration-time profile to an equivalent dose of XTANDI® capsules (four 40 mg capsules), while formulation 2, although with a similar curve, produced reduced plasma concentrations.
[0165] In addition, 160 mg doses of enzalutamide formulations 7, 8 and 9 as described above were administered to male beagle dogs and plasma levels of enzalutamide were measured periodically over a 144 hour period. Figure 5 shows the mean plasma concentration-time profiles. As shown in the figure, formulations 7, 8 and 9 showed plasma concentration-time profiles similar to the equivalent dose of XTANDI® capsules (four 40 mg capsules).
[0166] Example 2 The bitterness of the above-described formulations 1, 2, 7 and 9 was evaluated using the Insent taste recognition device TS-5000Z. The TS-5000Z device is equipped with multiple artificial lipid membranes with different properties designed to evaluate different taste modalities (bitter, salty, sour, astringent). The device measures the potential of the artificial lipid membrane surface of the device (affected by the test substance in contact with the membrane). For example, the test substance may change the potential by electrostatic interaction with the hydrophilic group of the lipid membrane, hydrophobic interaction with the hydrophobic group of the lipid membrane, etc. Thus, by measuring the change in the membrane potential, it is possible to detect taste modalities such as bitterness. In these experiments, the test sample was prepared as a 0.01% solution of the enzalutamide formulation in 10 mM KCl, and a bitter standard solution of 0.01 mM quinine hydrochloride was used.
[0167] As reported in the table below, formulations 1, 2, 7, 8 and 9 have no bitter taste compared to a standard bitter (quinine hydrochloride) solution. Formulation 8 exhibited a slight bitter aftertaste, formulations 1, 2 and 9 exhibited minimal bitter aftertaste, while formulation 7 exhibited no bitter aftertaste.
[0168] [Table 9]
[0169] Example 3 The stability of formulations 8, 10 and 17 as described in Example 1 was evaluated at 40° C. and 75% relative humidity for 1 month and 3 months. The results of this study are shown in the table below.
[0170] [Table 10]
[0171] The target impurity limits for each category were as follows: 0.2% w / w for dioxoimidazoline impurity; 0.2% w / w for the highest individual impurity; and 1.0% w / w for total impurities. These targets were achieved for formulations (with or without BHA and BHT) formulated with DL-methionine as the antioxidant. Results showed that formulations 10 and 17 were stable at 3 months, meeting the International Council for Harmonisation of Technical Requirements for Pharmaceuticals for Human Use (ICH) guidelines for impurity limits.
[0172] Example 4 A two-treatment, two-sequence randomized crossover study was conducted to compare the bioavailability of Formulation 10 as described in Table 3 at a dose of 160 mg with XTANDI® (enzalutamide) capsules (4 tablets x 400 mg) in 18 healthy adult males under fasting conditions. In each study period, a single dose of the enzalutamide composition was administered orally in the morning after a 10-hour overnight fast. Fasting conditions were maintained for up to 4 hours after dosing. Plasma concentrations of enzalutamide were quantified by serial blood sampling, and pharmacokinetic (PK) parameters were determined by noncompartmental analysis. Mean plasma concentration-time profiles are reported in Figure 12. Peak plasma concentrations (C max ), and the area under the plasma concentration-time curve up to 72 hours (AUC 0-72h ), and time to peak plasma concentration (T max ) are shown in the table below. AUC values were calculated by the Linear-up and Log-down Trapezoidal Method. The results showed that Formulation 10 was comparable to XTANDI®.
