Abstract
Description
[Technical Field]
[0001] The present invention relates to a pharmaceutical composition comprising a controlled-release PTH compound or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt, hydrate, or solvate thereof for use in methods of treating, managing, delaying, or preventing conditions that can be treated, managed, delayed, or prevented by PTH, wherein the controlled-release PTH compound is administered according to a dosing schedule in which dose adjustments corresponding to hypocalcemia or hypercalcemia are made in increments of 25% or less. [Background technology]
[0002] Hypoparathyroidism is a rare endocrine disorder affecting calcium and phosphate metabolism, most often resulting from parathyroid damage or removal during thyroid surgery. Hypoparathyroidism is unusual among endocrine disorders and, until recently, was not treated with supplementation of the deficient hormone, parathyroid hormone (PTH). Conventional treatments for hypoparathyroidism include high doses of vitamin D and oral calcium supplementation, which is often effective but can lead to hypercalcemia and hypocalcemia of the blood (ca). 2+ It is accompanied by marked fluctuations, excessive urinary calcium excretion, nephrocalcemia, and ectopic calcification, including that of blood vessels, basal ganglia, and the lens of the eye.
[0003] Calcium is the most abundant mineral in the human body, and its precise regulation is required for many biological functions, such as bone mineralization, muscle contraction, nerve conduction, hormone release, and blood clotting. Maintaining the most stable calcium concentration possible is especially important because various cell systems or organs, including the central nervous system, muscles, and exocrine / endocrine glands, require Ca 2+ This is because it reacts strongly to even small fluctuations. PTH is a major regulator of calcium homeostasis.
[0004] Serum Ca 2+ Inappropriately low or simply low PTH levels in relation to concentration are characteristic of hypoparathyroidism, Ca 2+This leads to decreased reabsorption of calcium by the renal tubules and, at the same time, increased reabsorption of phosphate by the renal tubules. Therefore, the main biochemical abnormalities of hypoparathyroidism are hypocalcemia and hyperphosphatemia. The clinical features of this disease include symptoms of hypocalcemia, such as numbness around the mouth, paresthesia, and carpal / foot muscle spasms. Pharyngospasm, tetany, and epileptic seizures are serious, potentially life-threatening complications. Hyperphosphatemia and increased calcium-phosphate products contribute to ectopic deposition of insoluble calcium-phosphate complexes in soft tissues, including the vascular system, brain, kidneys, and other organs.
[0005] The standard treatment for hypoparathyroidism is oral calcium and vitamin D supplementation. The treatment goals are: a) to improve the symptoms of hypocalcemia; b) to maintain fasting serum calcium within the lower limit of normal or slightly below; c) to maintain fasting serum phosphorus within the upper limit of normal or slightly above; d) to avoid or minimize hypercalciuria; e) to maintain calcium-phosphate products at levels well below the upper limit of normal; and f) to avoid ectopic calcification of the kidneys (stones and nephrocalcinosis) and other soft tissues.
[0006] Several concerns arise regarding the long-term use of high doses of calcium and activated vitamin D, particularly for hypercalciuria, kidney stones, nephrocalcinosis, and ectopic soft tissue calcification. Furthermore, conventional treatments with calcium and activated vitamin D do not alleviate quality-of-life complaints or improve the bone remodeling abnormalities specific to this disease. In short, improved hypoparathyroidism therapy is desperately needed.
[0007] In 2015, Natpara, PTH(1-84) was approved for once-daily subcutaneous injection as a vitamin D and calcium supplement in patients with hypoparathyroidism. Natpara, PTH(1-84) was approved for the management of hypocalcemia based on a crucial clinical trial that demonstrated that 42 percent of participants treated with PTH(1-84) achieved normal blood calcium levels with reduced doses of calcium supplement and active form of vitamin D, compared to 3 percent of participants treated with placebo. Time-course tracking of serum calcium after injection showed that 71 percent of patients treated with PTH(1-84) developed hypercalcemia with one or more measurements within a 24-hour period. PTH(1-84) reduced urinary calcium excretion 2–8 hours after injection, but there was no change in urinary calcium excretion after 24 hours. Similarly, urinary phosphate excretion increased only during the first 8 hours after PTH(1-84) injection.
[0008] While this could be considered a significant advantage in treating this disease, Natpara has not demonstrated that it can reduce the incidence of hypercalcemia (elevated serum calcium levels), hypocalcemia (low serum calcium levels), or hypercalciuria (increased urinary calcium) in treated patients compared to conventional treatments.
[0009] Therefore, improved PTH-based treatments for hypoparathyroidism are in great need.
[0010] PTH(1-34), or teriparatide, was approved by the FDA in 2002 for the treatment of osteoporosis. PTH(1-34) has long been used for the treatment of hypoparathyroidism, despite not being approved for this indication, with patients receiving injections two or three times daily. Clinical studies have been conducted using pump-delivered PTH(1-34) compared to twice-daily injections to promote more physiological PTH levels. Over six months, pump delivery produced normal steady-state calcium levels with minimal fluctuation, avoiding the elevation of serum and urinary calcium levels that appears immediately after PTH injection. The significant decrease in urinary calcium excretion when PTH(1-34) was administered by pump may indicate that PTH must be continuously exposed to the renal tubules to achieve a renal calcium-conserving effect. Pump delivery of PTH(1-34) achieved simultaneous normalization of bone turnover markers, serum calcium markers, and urinary calcium excretion markers. These results were achieved at a dose 65 percent lower than the daily dose of PTH(1-34) and reduced the need for magnesium supplementation compared to a twice-daily PTH(1-34) injection regimen.
[0011] However, continuous pump therapy is inconvenient and difficult for patients; therefore, the object of the present invention is to provide a more convenient treatment option that results in continuous exposure to PTH.
[0012] Long-term daily administration of PTH is associated with progressive cortical osteopenia due to increased bone metabolism. In a 6-year follow-up study of patients treated with PTH(1-84) (Rubin, JCEM 2016), bone turnover markers remained higher than pre-treatment levels, peaked in the first few years after initiation of PTH(1-84), and then declined, but remained significantly higher than baseline levels until year 6. BMD measured by DXA was consistent with the known site-specific effects of PTH, namely an increase in the lumbar spine and a decrease in the distal one-third of the radius. The decrease observed in the distal one-third is consistent with the known effects of intermittent PTH, which increase cortical porosity and endosteal resorption. [Prior art documents] [Non-patent literature]
[0013] [Non-Patent Document 1] Rubin, JCEM 2016 [Overview of the project] [Problems that the invention aims to solve]
[0014] The object of the present invention is to provide a method of intermittently administering PTH that improves the management of serum and urinary calcium and serum phosphorus compared to currently used PTH therapies, and reduces the increase in bone turnover markers. Preferably, intermittently means every day, or more preferably at weekly intervals.
[0015] In both the Forteo, PTH(1-34) and Natpara, PTH(1-84) preclinical development programs, a dose-dependent increase in osteosarcoma incidence was observed in rats treated with daily injections of PTH compounds. In the Natpara study, administration to high-dose rats was discontinued due to an excessive number of deaths, primarily from metastatic osteosarcoma, in this group. This is thought to be due to the rats' sensitivity to the anabolic effects of intermittent PTH. In contrast, it is known that continuous exposure to PTH does not have significant anabolic activity. It is an object of the present invention to provide an intermittent PTH replacement therapy that results in an infusion-like profile of PTH, which leads to improved symptom control with the administration of lower doses. Preferably, intermittent means daily, or more preferably weekly.
[0016] In short, there is a need for more convenient and safer treatments for hypoparathyroidism with reduced side effects.
[0017] Therefore, an object of the present invention is to overcome the above-mentioned drawbacks at least partially. [Means for solving the problem]
[0018] This objective is achieved with a pharmaceutical composition comprising a controlled-release PTH compound or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt, hydrate, or solvate thereof for use in methods of treating, managing, delaying, or preventing conditions that can be treated, managed, delayed, or prevented by PTH, wherein the pharmaceutical composition comprising the controlled-release PTH compound is administered according to a dosing schedule in which dose adjustments corresponding to hypocalcemia or hypercalcemia are made in increments of 25% or less.
[0019] Surprisingly, such controlled-release PTH compounds are more potent than PTH 1-84, and it has been found that dose adjustments of pharmaceutical compositions containing such controlled-release PTH compounds can be made with fewer increments than dose adjustments of pharmaceutical compositions containing PTH 1-84, which involve doubling or halving the dose in response to hypocalcemia or hypercalcemia, respectively, to reach the correct dose. A typical starting dose is 50 μg / day, which is gradually reduced to 25 μg / day (50%) in cases of hypercalcemia, or gradually increased to 75 μg / day (50%) first, and then to 100 μg / day (33.3%) in cases of hypocalcemia where most subjects require 75 or 100 μg / day.
[0020] In this invention, the following terms are used:
[0021] As used herein, the term "increment" refers to an increase or decrease in the amount of the controlled-release PTH compound based on a previously administered dose of the same controlled-release PTH compound, and this increase or decrease is expressed as a specific percentage based on the weight of the controlled-release PTH compound.
[0022] As used herein, the term “controlled-release PTH compound” refers to any compound, conjugate, crystal, or mixture comprising at least one PTH molecule or substructure, wherein at least one PTH molecule or substructure is released with an release half-life of at least 12 hours.
[0023] As used herein, the terms “release half-life” and “half-life” refer to the time required for all or half of all PTH or PTH substructures contained in each controlled-release PTH compound to be released from the controlled-release PTH compound under physiological conditions (i.e., aqueous buffer, pH 7.4, 37°C).
[0024] As used herein, the term "PTH" refers to all PTH polypeptides, preferably from mammalian species, more preferably from humans and mammalian species, more preferably from humans and murine species, as well as their variants, analogs, orthologues, homologs, and derivatives and fragments, characterized by increasing serum calcium and renal phosphorus excretion and decreasing serum phosphorus and renal calcium excretion. The term "PTH" also refers to all PTHrP polypeptides that bind to and activate the common PTH / PTHrP1 receptor, such as the polypeptide of SEQ ID NO: 121. Preferably, the term "PTH" refers to the PTH polypeptide of SEQ ID NO: 51, as well as its variants, homologs, and derivatives that exhibit essentially the same biological activity, namely increasing serum calcium and renal phosphorus excretion and decreasing serum phosphorus and renal calcium excretion.

[0026] More preferably, the term "PTH" refers to the sequence of sequence numbers 47, 48, 49, 50, 51, 52, 53, 54, 55, 107, 108, 109, 110, 111, 112, 113, 114, and 115. Even more preferably, the term "PTH" refers to the sequence of sequence numbers 50, 51, 52, 110, 111, and 112. In a particularly preferred embodiment, the term "PTH" refers to the sequence of sequence number 51.
[0027] As used herein, the term “PTH polypeptide variant” refers to a polypeptide from the same species that is different from the reference PTH or PTHrP polypeptide. Preferably, such reference is a PTH polypeptide sequence having the sequence of SEQ ID NO: 51. Generally, the differences are limited, and therefore the amino acid sequences of the reference and the variant are similar throughout and identical in many regions. Preferably, the PTH polypeptide variant is at least 70%, 80%, 90%, or 95% identical to the reference PTH or PTHrP polypeptide, preferably the PTH polypeptide of SEQ ID NO: 51. A polypeptide having an amino acid sequence that is at least, for example, 95% “identical” to the query amino acid sequence means that the amino acid sequence of the target polypeptide is identical to the query sequence, except that it may contain no more than 5 amino acid changes for every 100 amino acids of the query amino acid sequence. These modifications of the reference sequence may be located at the amino-terminus (N-terminus) or carboxy-terminus (C-terminus) of the reference amino acid sequence, or they may be individually scattered among residues in the reference sequence, or scattered among one or more adjacent groups in the reference sequence, or they may be located at any position between these terminal positions. The query sequence may be the entire amino acid sequence of the reference sequence, or any fragment as specified herein. Preferably, the query sequence is the sequence of SEQ ID NO: 51.
[0028] Such PTH peptide variants may be naturally occurring variants, such as naturally occurring allele variants encoded by one of several alternative forms of PTH or PTHrP occupying a given locus on a chromosome or organism, or they may be isoforms encoded by naturally occurring splice variants derived from a single primary transcript. Alternatively, the PTH polypeptide variant may be a variant not known to exist naturally, which can be produced by mutagenesis methods known in the art.
[0029] It is known in the art that one or more amino acids can be deleted from the N-terminus or C-terminus of a biologically active polypeptide without substantially losing its biological function. Such N and / or C-terminal deletions are also encompassed by the term PTH polypeptide variant.
[0030] Those skilled in the art will also recognize that the amino acid sequence of a portion of a PTH or PTHrP polypeptide can be altered without significantly affecting the structure or function of the polypeptide. Such variants include deletions, insertions, inversions, repeats, and substitutions, which are selected according to general rules known in the art so as to have little effect on activity. For example, guidance on methods for making phenotypically silent amino acid substitutions is provided in Bowie et al. (1990), Science 247:1306-1310, which is incorporated herein by reference in its entirety, and the authors of this reference show that there are two main approaches to studying the tolerance of amino acid sequences to alteration.
[0031] The term PTH polypeptide also encompasses all PTH or PTHrP polypeptides encoded by PTH or PTHrP analogs, orthologs, and / or species homologs. Those skilled in the art will also recognize that the term PTH polypeptide encompasses all PTHrP analogs, since PTHrP and PTHrP analogs bind to and activate the common PTH / PTHrP1 receptor. As used herein, the term "PTH analogue" refers to PTH or PTHrP from different, unrelated organisms that perform the same function in each organism but do not originate from a common ancestral structure shared by the ancestors of those organisms. Rather, similar PTH and PTHrP arose separately and subsequently evolved to perform the same or similar functions. In other words, similar PTH and PTHrP polypeptides are polypeptides that perform the same biological activity, namely increasing serum calcium and renal phosphorus excretion and decreasing serum phosphorus and renal calcium excretion, but have entirely different amino acid sequences.
[0032] As used herein, the term "PTH ortholog" refers to PTHs or PTHrPs within two different species that have evolved to be distinct from each other, although their sequences are related by a common homologous PTH or PTHrP in the ancestral species.
[0033] As used herein, the term "PTH homolog" refers to PTH or PTHrP from different organisms that perform the same function in each organism and originate from an ancestral structure common to the ancestors of those organisms. In other words, homologous PTH polypeptides are polypeptides that perform the same biological activity, i.e., increase serum calcium and renal phosphorus excretion and decrease serum phosphorus and renal calcium excretion, and have exactly the same amino acid sequence. Preferably, a PTH polypeptide homolog can be defined as a polypeptide that exhibits at least 40%, 50%, 60%, 70%, 80%, 90%, or 95% identity with a reference PTH or PTHrP polypeptide, preferably the PTH polypeptide of SEQ ID NO: 51.
[0034] Accordingly, the PTH polypeptide according to the present invention may, for example, (i) have at least one amino acid residue substituted with a conserved or non-conserved amino acid residue, preferably a conserved amino acid residue, and such substituted amino acid residue may or may not be encoded by the genetic code, and / or (ii) have at least one amino acid residue containing a substituent, and / or (iii) have the PTH polypeptide fused with another compound, for example, a compound for increasing the half-life of the polypeptide (e.g., polyethylene glycol), and / or (iv) have further amino acids fused to the PTH polypeptide, such as an IgG Fc fusion region polypeptide or a leader or secretion sequence, or a sequence used for purifying the polypeptide of the above form, or a protein precursor sequence.
[0035] As used herein, the term "PTH polypeptide fragment" refers to any polypeptide comprising a contiguous range of a portion of the amino acid sequence of a PTH or PTHrP polypeptide, preferably the polypeptide of SEQ ID NO: 51.
[0036] More specifically, a PTH polypeptide fragment comprises at least six, e.g., at least eight, at least ten, or at least 17 consecutive amino acids of a PTH or PTHrP polypeptide, more preferably the polypeptide of SEQ ID NO: 51. Furthermore, a PTH polypeptide fragment may be described as a subgenus of a PTH or PTHrP polypeptide comprising at least six amino acids, where “at least six” is defined as any integer between six and an integer representing the C-terminal amino acid of a PTH or PTHrP polypeptide, preferably the polypeptide of SEQ ID NO: 51. Further includes species of PTH or PTHrP polypeptide fragments of at least six amino acids in length, as described above, which are further specified with respect to the N-terminal and C-terminal positions. All PTH or PTHrP polypeptide fragments of at least six amino acids in length, as described above, which may be specifically specified by the N-terminal and C-terminal positions, are also included in the term “PTH polypeptide fragment” as individual species. In other words, the present invention includes any combination of N-terminal and C-terminal positions that can be occupied by a fragment of at least six consecutive amino acids on any given amino acid sequence of a PTH or PTHrP polypeptide, preferably the PTH polypeptide of SEQ ID NO: 51.
[0037] The term "PTH" includes poly(amino acid) conjugates having the sequence described above, but also having a backbone containing both amide and non-amide bonds, such as ester bonds, such as depsipeptides. A depsipeptide is a chain of amino acid residues whose backbone contains both amide (peptide) bonds and ester bonds. Therefore, as used herein, the term "side chain" refers to a substructure bonded to the alpha-carbon of an amino acid substructure when the amino acid substructures are linked by amine bonds, for example in the case of a polypeptide, or to any carbon-carbon-containing substructure bonded to the backbone of a poly(amino acid) conjugate, such as in the case of a depsipeptide. Preferably, the term "PTH" refers to a polypeptide having a backbone formed by amide (peptide) bonds.
[0038] The term PTH includes the above variants, analogs, orthologues, homologs, derivatives, and fragments of PTH or PTHrP; therefore, all references to specific positions within the reference sequence also include equivalent positions within variants, analogs, orthologues, homologs, derivatives, and fragments of the PTH or PTHrP substructure, even if not specifically stated.
[0039] As used herein, the term "micelle" refers to an aggregate of amphiphilic molecules dispersed in a liquid colloid. In aqueous solutions, typical micelles form aggregates, also called "normal-phase micelles," in which the hydrophilic substructure of the surfactant molecule faces the surrounding solvent and the hydrophobic substructure of the surfactant faces inward. "Reverse micelles" have both an inwardly facing hydrophilic substructure and a hydrophobic substructure facing the surrounding solvent.
[0040] As used herein, the term "liposome" refers to a vesicle having at least one lipid bilayer, preferably a spherical vesicle. Preferably, the liposome contains phospholipids, more preferably phosphatidylcholine. The term "liposome" refers to a variety of structures and sizes, such as multilayer liposomal vesicles (MLVs) having one or more concentric lipid bilayers and an average diameter of 100-1000 nm, small monolayer liposomal vesicles (SUVs) having one lipid bilayer and an average diameter of 25-100 nm, large monolayer liposomal vesicles (LUVs) having one lipid bilayer and an average diameter of about 1000 μm, and giant monolayer vesicles (GUVs) having one lipid bilayer and an average diameter of 1-100 μm. The term "liposome" also includes elastic vesicles, such as transferosomes and ethosomes.
[0041] As used herein, the term "aquasome" refers to spherical nanoparticles having a diameter of 60 to 300 nm, comprising at least three layers of self-assembling structures, i.e., a solid-phase nanocrystalline core covered with an oligomeric film on which drug molecules of a modified or unmodified drug are adsorbed.

[0044] As used herein, the term "niosome" refers to a monolayer or multilayer vesicle containing a nonionic surfactant.
[0045] As used herein, the term "pharmacosome" refers to a microvesicle, micelle, or hexagonal aggregate derived from lipids covalently bound to a biologically active substructure.
[0046] As used herein, the term "proniosome" refers to a dried formulation of a surfactant-coated carrier that becomes a niosome upon rehydration and gentle stirring.
[0047] As used herein, the term "polymerosome" refers to an artificial spherical vesicle containing a membrane formed from an amphiphilic synthetic block copolymer, which may sometimes contain an aqueous solution within its core. Polymerosomes have a wide range of diameters, from 50 nm to 5 μm and larger. The term also includes syntosomes, which are polymerosomes designed to contain channels that allow certain chemical substances to enter or leave the vesicle through the membrane.
[0048] As used herein, the term "sphingosome" refers to a concentric bilayer vesicle in which the aqueous volume is completely encapsulated by a membrane-like lipid bilayer composed primarily of natural or synthetic sphingolipids.
[0049] As used herein, the term "transferosome" refers to a highly flexible lipid vesicle containing an aqueous core, formed from a mixture of suitable terminally activated lipids having a common polarity, the common polarity of which promotes the formation of a highly curved bilayer, and this curved bilayer makes the transferosome highly deformable.
[0050] As used herein, the term "ufasome" refers to a vesicle containing unsaturated fatty acids.
[0051] As used herein, the term "polypeptide" refers to a peptide containing 50 or fewer amino acid monomers.

[0053] As used herein, the term "physiological conditions" refers to an aqueous buffer solution at 37°C and pH 7.4.
[0054] As used herein, the term “pharmaceutical composition” means a composition containing one or more active ingredients, such as at least one controlled-release PTH compound, and one or more excipients, and any products obtained directly or indirectly from combinations, complexes, or aggregations of any two or more components of the composition, or from the dissociation of one or more of the components, or from other types of reactions or interactions of one or more of the components. Accordingly, the pharmaceutical compositions of the present invention encompass any composition produced by mixing one or more controlled-release PTH compounds with pharmaceutically acceptable excipients.
[0055] As used herein, the term "liquid composition" refers to a mixture comprising a water-soluble controlled-release PTH compound and one or more solvents, such as water.
[0056] The term "suspension composition" refers to a mixture containing a water-insoluble controlled-release PTH compound and one or more solvents, such as water.
[0057] As used herein, the term “dried composition” means that the pharmaceutical composition is provided in a dry form. Preferred drying methods are spray drying and freeze-drying. Such a dried composition of a prodrug has a residual moisture content of up to 10%, preferably less than 5%, and more preferably less than 2%, as determined by Karl Fischer. Preferably, the pharmaceutical composition of the present invention is dried by freeze-drying.
[0058] As used herein, the term “drug” refers to a substance used to treat, cure, prevent or diagnose a disease, or to otherwise improve physical or mental well-being. When a drug is conjugated with another substructure, the substructure of the resulting product derived from that drug is called the “bioactive substructure.”
[0059] As used herein, the term “prodrug” refers to a conjugate in which a bioactive substructure is reversibly covalently linked to a special protecting group via a reversible linker substructure that includes a reversible bond to the bioactive substructure, the reversible linker substructure also referred to as the “reversible prodrug linker substructure,” and the special protecting group alters or removes undesirable properties of the parent molecule. This includes enhancing desirable properties and suppressing undesirable properties of the drug. The special non-toxic protecting group is referred to as the “carrier.” A prodrug releases a reversibly covalently bonded bioactive substructure in the form of its corresponding drug. In other words, a prodrug is a conjugate containing a bioactive substructure reversibly covalently conjugated to a carrier substructure via a reversible prodrug linker substructure, where the reversible covalent bond of the carrier to the reversible linker substructure is either direct or spacer-mediated. Such a conjugate releases the previously conjugated bioactive substructure in the form of a free, unmodified drug.
[0060] A "biodegradable bond" or "reversible bond" is a bond that can be decomposed by hydrolysis in the absence of enzymes under physiological conditions (aqueous buffer solution at pH 7.4, 37°C), i.e., cleaved, with a half-life in the range of 1 hour to 3 months, preferably 1 hour to 2 months, even more preferably 1 hour to 1 month, even more preferably 1 hour to 3 weeks, and most preferably 1 hour to 2 weeks. Therefore, a stable bond is a bond that has a half-life longer than 3 months under physiological conditions (aqueous buffer solution at pH 7.4, 37°C).
[0061] As used herein, the term "trace-free prodrug linker" refers to a reversible prodrug linker that releases the drug in its free form upon cleavage; that is, a linker substructure that reversibly covalently links a bioactive substructure to a carrier. As used herein, the term "free form" refers to the drug in its unmodified, pharmacologically active form.
[0062] As used herein, the term “excipient” refers to a substance that is therapeutically useful, such as a diluent, adjuvant, or vehicle used to administer a drug or prodrug. Such pharmaceutical excipients may be sterile solutions, such as water and oils (including, but not limited to, peanut oil, soybean oil, mineral oil, sesame oil, etc., including those of petroleum, animal, plant, or synthetic origin). Water is a preferred excipient when the pharmaceutical composition is administered orally. When the pharmaceutical composition is administered intravenously, saline and dextrose aqueous solutions are preferred excipients. Salt solutions, as well as dextrose and glycerol aqueous solutions, are preferably used as liquid excipients for injectable solutions. Suitable pharmaceutical excipients include starch, glucose, lactose, sucrose, mannitol, trehalose, gelatin, malt, rice, wheat flour, chalk, silica gel, sodium stearate, glyceryl monostearate, talc, sodium chloride, skim milk powder, glycerol, propylene glycol, water, and ethanol. Pharmaceutical compositions may, as needed, contain small amounts of wetting or emulsifying agents, pH buffers such as acetates, succinates, tris, carbonates, phosphates, HEPES (4-(2-hydroxyethyl)-1-piperazineethanesulfonic acid), MES (2-(N-morpholino)ethanesulfonic acid), or surfactants such as Tween, poloxamer, poloxamine, CHAPS, Igepal, or amino acids such as glycine, lysine, or histidine. These pharmaceutical compositions can take the form of liquids, suspensions, emulsions, tablets, pills, capsules, powders, sustained-release formulations, etc. Pharmaceutical compositions may also be formulated as suppositories using conventional binders and excipients, such as triglycerides. Oral formulations may contain standard excipients, such as pharmaceutical-grade mannitol, lactose, starch, magnesium stearate, sodium saccharin, cellulose, magnesium carbonate, etc. Such compositions would contain a therapeutically effective amount of drug or bioactive substructure, along with suitable amounts of excipients to produce a dosage form for appropriate administration to the patient. The formulation should be appropriate for the method of administration.
[0063] As used herein, the term “reagent” means a compound containing at least one functional group for reaction with the functional group of another compound or drug. Drugs containing a functional group (e.g., a primary or secondary amine or a hydroxyl functional group) are also understood to be reagents.
[0064] As used herein, the term "substructure" refers to a part of a molecule that lacks one or more atoms compared to the corresponding reagent. For example, when a reagent of formula "HXH" reacts with another reagent and becomes part of the reaction product, the corresponding substructure of that reaction product has the structure "HX-" or "-X-", where each "-" indicates a bond to another substructure. Thus, the biologically active substructure is released as a drug from the prodrug.
[0065] When an arrangement or chemical structure of atomic groups is provided in which an atomic group is bonded to two substructures or interposed in one substructure, it is understood that, unless otherwise explicitly stated, the arrangement or chemical structure may be bonded to the two substructures in either orientation. For example, the substructure "-C(O)N(R 1 )-" is "-C(O)N(R 1 )-" or "-N(R 1 As ")C(O)-", it may be bonded to two substructures, or it may be inserted into one substructure. Similarly, substructure [ka] teeth, [ka] They may be bonded to two substructures or inserted into one substructure.
[0066] As used herein, the term "functional group" refers to an atomic group that can react with other atomic groups. Functional groups include, but are not limited to, the following: carboxylic acids (-(C=O)OH), primary or secondary amines (-NH2, -NH-), maleimides, thiols (-SH), sulfonic acids (-(O=S=O)OH), carbonates, carbamates (-O(C=O)N<), hydroxyls (-OH), aldehydes (-(C=O)H), ketones (-(C=O)-), hydrazines (>NN<), isocyanates, isothiocyanates, phosphoric acids (-O(P=O)OHOH), phosphonic acids (-O(P=O)OHH), haloacetyls, alkyl halides, acryloyls, aryl fluorides, hydroxylamines, disulfides, sulfonamides, sulfonic acids, vinyl sulfones, vinyl ketones, diazoalkanes, oxiranes, and aziridines.
[0067] If the controlled-release PTH compounds of the present invention contain one or more acidic or basic groups, the present invention also includes corresponding pharmaceutically or toxicologically acceptable salts thereof, in particular pharmaceutically usable salts thereof. Accordingly, controlled-release PTH compounds of the present invention containing acidic groups can be used in accordance with the present invention, for example, as alkali metal salts, alkaline earth metal salts, or ammonium salts. More detailed examples of such salts include sodium salts, potassium salts, calcium salts, magnesium salts, or salts with ammonia or organic amines (e.g., ethylamine, ethanolamine, triethanolamine, etc.) or amino acids. There may also be controlled-release PTH compounds of the present invention containing one or more basic groups, i.e., protonable groups, and such prodrugs can be used in accordance with the present invention in the form of inorganic or organic acids and their addition salts. Examples of suitable acids include hydrogen chloride, hydrogen bromide, phosphoric acid, sulfuric acid, nitric acid, methanesulfonic acid, p-toluenesulfonic acid, naphthalenedisulfonic acid, oxalic acid, acetic acid, tartaric acid, lactic acid, salicylic acid, benzoic acid, formic acid, propionic acid, pivalic acid, diethylacetic acid, malonic acid, succinic acid, pimelic acid, fumaric acid, maleic acid, malic acid, sulfamic acid, phenolpropionic acid, gluconic acid, ascorbic acid, isonicotinic acid, citric acid, adipic acid, and other acids known to those skilled in the art. Further methods for converting basic groups to cations, such as alkylation of amine groups to provide suitable counterions for positively charged ammonium groups and their salts, are known to those skilled in the art. When the controlled-release PTH compound of the present invention contains both an acidic and a basic group, the present invention also includes intramolecular salts or betaines (zwitterionic) in addition to the salt forms mentioned. Each salt can be obtained by conventional methods known to those skilled in the art, for example, by contacting these compounds with organic or inorganic acids or bases in a solvent or dispersion, or by anion exchange or cation exchange with other salts. The present invention also includes all salts of the compounds of the present invention, which, due to their low physiological compatibility, are not directly suitable for use in pharmaceuticals, but can be used, for example, as intermediates in chemical reactions or in the production of pharmaceutically acceptable salts.
[0068] The term "medically acceptable" means a substance that does not cause harm when administered to a patient and is preferably approved for use in animals, preferably for use in humans, by a regulatory body, such as the EMA (Europe) and / or the FDA (United States) and / or any other national regulatory body.
[0069] In this specification, the term “about” as used in combination with a number is used to indicate not only the number itself, but also a range of plus / minus 10% or less of the number, more preferably 8% or less of the number, even more preferably 5% or less of the number, and most preferably 2% or less of the number. For example, the phrase “about 200” is used to mean a range of 200+ / -10%, i.e., a range of 180 to 220, preferably a range of 200+ / -8%, i.e., a range of 184 to 216, even more preferably a range of 200+ / -5%, i.e., a range of 190 to 210, and most preferably a range of 200+ / -2%, i.e., a range of 196 to 204. A percentage indicated as “about 20%” is understood not to mean “20%+ / -10%”, i.e., a range of 10 to 30%, but rather that “about 20%” means a range of 18 to 22%, i.e., plus / minus 10% of the number 20.
[0070] As used herein, the term "polymer" means a molecule containing repeating structural units, i.e., monomers, linked by chemical bonds in a linear, cyclic, branched, cross-linked or dendrimer-like manner or in combinations thereof, which may be of synthetic origin, of biological origin, or a combination of both. It is understood that polymers may also contain one or more other chemical groups and / or substructures, such as, for example, one or more functional groups. Preferably, soluble polymers have a molecular weight of at least 0.5 kDa, for example, at least 1 kDa, at least 2 kDa, at least 3 kDa, or at least 5 kDa. When the polymer is soluble, it preferably has a molecular weight of up to 1000 kDa, for example, up to 750 kDa, for example, up to 500 kDa, for example, up to 300 kDa, for example, up to 200 kDa, for example, up to 100 kDa. It is understood that for insoluble polymers such as hydrogels, a meaningful molecular weight range cannot be provided. Proteins are also understood to be polymers in which the amino acids are the repeating structural units, even though the side chains of each amino acid may be different.
[0071] As used herein, the term "polymeric" means a reagent or substructure containing one or more polymers or polymer substructures. The polymeric reagent or substructure may optionally also contain one or more other substructures, and such other substructures are preferably selected from the group consisting of: · C 1-50 alkyl, C 2-50 alkenyl, C 2-50 alkynyl, C 3-10 cycloalkyl, 3- to 10-membered heterocyclyl, 8- to 11-membered heterobicyclyl, phenyl, naphthyl, indenyl, indanyl and tetralinyl, and · bonds selected from the group comprising:
Chemical formula
[0072] Those skilled in the art will understand that polymerization products obtained from polymerization reactions do not necessarily all have the same molecular weight, but rather exhibit a molecular weight distribution. Therefore, as used herein, molecular weight range, molecular weight, monomer number range in a polymer, and monomer number in a polymer refer to the number-average molecular weight and monomer number average, i.e., the arithmetic mean of the molecular weight of the polymer or polymer substructure and the arithmetic mean of the number of monomers in the polymer or polymer substructure.
[0073] Therefore, in the case of a polymer substructure containing "x" monomer units, any integer substituted for "x" corresponds to the arithmetic mean number of the monomers. Any range of integers substituted for "x" provides an integer range in which the arithmetic mean number of the monomers resides. An integer "x" expressed as "approximately x" means that the arithmetic mean number of the monomers resides within the integer range of x+ / -10%, preferably x+ / -8%, more preferably x+ / -5%, and most preferably x+ / -2%.
[0074] As used herein, the term "number-mean molecular weight" refers to the usual arithmetic mean of the molecular weights of individual polymers.

[0408] In a preferred embodiment, the controlled-release PTH compound has formula (IIe-i): [ka] (In the formula, The unmarked dashed lines indicate the bonding of the PTH substructure -D to nitrogen by forming an amide bond.

[0413] As used herein, the term “residual activity” refers to the activity exhibited by a PTH prodrug in which a PTH substructure is bound to a carrier, as opposed to the activity exhibited by the corresponding free PTH. In this context, “activity” refers to binding to the PTH / PTHrP1 receptor, resulting in activation of adenylyl cyclase to produce cAMP, activation of phospholipase C to produce intramolecular calcium, or activation of the PTH / PTHrP1 receptor to the osteoblast expression of RANKL (which binds to RANK (a receptor activator for nuclear factor kB)) on osteoclasts. It is understood that measuring the residual activity of the PTH prodrug of the present invention takes time for a certain amount of PTH to be released from the PTH prodrug of the present invention, and such released PTH can distort the measurement results of the PTH prodrug. Therefore, it is customary to test the residual activity of a prodrug using a conjugate in which the drug substructure, in this case PTH, is irreversibly, i.e., stably bound to a carrier, and which approximates as closely as possible the structure of the PTH prodrug whose residual activity is to be measured.

[0417] Such liquid, suspension, dried, or reconstituted pharmaceutical compositions contain at least one excipient. Excipients used in parenteral formulations may be classified, for example, as buffers, isotonic modifiers, preservatives, stabilizers, absorption inhibitors, antioxidants, thickeners / viscosity enhancers, or other adjuvants. However, in some cases, one excipient may have a dual or triple function. Preferably, the at least one excipient included in the pharmaceutical composition of the present invention is selected from the group consisting of: (i) Buffering agents: Physiologically acceptable buffering agents to maintain pH within a desired range, such as sodium phosphate, bicarbonate, succinate, histidine, citrate and acetate, sulfate, nitrate, chloride, and pyruvate. Acid inhibitors, such as Mg(OH)2 or ZnCO3, may also be used; (ii) Isotonic modifiers: These are used to minimize pain that may result from cell damage caused by osmotic pressure differences at the injection depot. Examples include glycerin and sodium chloride. The effective concentration can be determined by osmotic measurement using an assumed molar osmotic concentration of 285–315 mOsmol / kg for serum; (iii) Preservatives and / or antibacterial agents: Parenteral formulations for multiple doses require the addition of preservatives at sufficient concentrations to minimize the risk of infection in patients by injection, and corresponding regulatory requirements have been established. Typical preservatives include m-cresol, phenol, methylparaben, ethylparaben, propylparaben, butylparaben, chlorobutanol, benzyl alcohol, phenylmercury nitrate, thimerosal, sorbic acid, potassium sorbate, benzoic acid, chlorocresol, and benzalkonium chloride; (iv) Stabilizers: Stabilization is achieved by enhancing the protein's stabilizing ability, by destabilizing the denatured state, or by direct binding of the excipient to the protein. Stabilizers may include amino acids, e.g., alanine, arginine, aspartic acid, glycine, histidine, lysine, proline; sugars, e.g., glucose, sucrose, trehalose; polyols, e.g., glycerol, mannitol, sorbitol; salts, e.g., potassium phosphate, sodium sulfate; chelating agents, e.g., EDTA, hexaphosphates; ligands, e.g., divalent metal ions (zinc, calcium, etc.); other salts or organic molecules, e.g., phenolic derivatives. In addition, oligomers or polymers, e.g., cyclodextrin, dextran, dendrimers, PEG or PVP, or protamine or HSA may also be used. (v) Absorption inhibitors: Primarily ionic or nonionic surfactants or other proteins or soluble polymers, such as poloxamer (Pluronic F-68), PEG-dodecyl ether (Brij 35), polysorbate 20 and 80, dextran, polyethylene glycol, PEG-polyhistidine, BSA and HSA, and gelatin are used for coating the inner surface of the formulation container or for competitive adsorption to the inner surface. The selected excipient concentration and type depend on the action to be avoided, but typically a single layer of surfactant is formed at the interface just above the CMC value; (vi) Antioxidant agents: Antioxidants such as ascorbic acid, ectoin, methionine, glutathione, monothioglycerol, morin, polyethyleneimine (PEI), propyl gallate, and vitamin E. Chelating agents such as citric acid, EDTA, hexaphosphate, and thioglycolic acid may also be used; (vii) Thickeners or viscosity enhancers: In the case of suspensions, these are used to delay the sedimentation of particles in the vial and syringe, to facilitate the mixing and resuspension of particles, and to make the suspension easier to inject (i.e., with less force on the syringe plunger). Suitable thickeners or viscosity enhancers include, for example, carbomer thickeners, e.g., Carbopol 940, Carbopol Ultrez 10; cellulose derivatives, e.g., hydroxypropyl methylcellulose (hypromellose, HPMC) or diethylaminoethylcellulose (DEAE or DEAE-C); colloidal magnesium silicate (Veegum) or sodium silicate; hydroxyapatite gel; tricalcium phosphate gel; xanthan gum; carrageenan, e.g., Satia gum UTC 30; Aliphatic poly(hydroxy acids), e.g., poly(D,L- or L-lactic acid) (PLA) and poly(glycolic acid) (PGA) and copolymers thereof (PLGA), terpolymers of D,L-lactide, glycolide and caprolactone; poloxamers; hydrophilic poly(oxyethylene) blocks and hydrophobic poly(oxypropylene) blocks for constituting poly(oxyethylene)-poly(oxypropylene)-poly(oxyethylene) triblocks (e.g., Pluronic®); polyether ester copolymers, e.g., polyethylene glycol terephthalate / polybutylene terephthalate copolymer; sucrose acetate isobutyrate (SAIB); dextran or its derivatives Conductors; combinations of dextran and PEG; polydimethylsiloxane; collagen; chitosan; polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) and its derivatives; polyalkylimides; poly(acrylamide-co-diallyldimethylammonium (DADMA)); polyvinylpyrrolidone (PVP); glycosaminoglycans (GAG), such as dermatan sulfate, chondroitin sulfate, keratan sulfate, heparin, heparan sulfate, hyaluronan; and ABA triblock or AB block copolymer, which consists of a hydrophobic A block, such as polylactide (PLA) or poly(lactide-co-glycolide) (PLGA), and a hydrophilic B block, such as polyethylene glycol (PEG) or polyvinylpyrrolidone.Such block copolymers and the poloxamers described above may exhibit reverse thermal gelation behavior (a fluid state at room temperature to facilitate administration, and a gel state at temperatures higher than the sol-gel transition temperature at body temperature after injection). (viii) Spreading or diffusing agents: These regulate the permeability of connective tissue by hydrolysis of components of the extracellular matrix in the interstitial space (e.g., hyaluronic acid, a polysaccharide found in the intercellular space of connective tissue, for example, but not limited to these). Spreading agents, for example, hyaluronidase, for example, but not limited to these, temporarily reduce the viscosity of the extracellular matrix and promote the diffusion of injected drugs; and (ix) Other auxiliary agents: Wetters, viscosity modifiers, antibiotics, hyaluronidase, etc. Acids and bases such as hyaluronic acid and sodium hydroxide are auxiliary agents necessary for pH adjustment during manufacturing.

[0503] [Example 22] Dose Range Establishment Study - Dose Adjustment Study on Daily Subcutaneous Injection of TransCon PTH in Cynomolgus Monkeys Methods: This study was conducted to test the hypothesis of dose adjustment for TransCon PTH in 25% increments in response to hypocalcemia or hypercalcemia. The study was conducted in male and female cynomolgus monkeys. Four groups, each consisting of one male and one female, were administered at doses of 0.2, 0.5, 1.0, and 2.0 μg / kg / day for 4 weeks, respectively. Serum calcium (sCa) levels in these animals were measured before administration and on days -6, 1, 3, 7, 8, 12, 14, 16, 19, 23, 26, 28, and 29 after administration.
[0504] Results: Daily subcutaneous administration of TransCon PTH at doses of 0.2, 0.5, and 1.0 μg / kg / day over 28 days was well tolerated and accompanied by the expected sporadic, slight increases in sCa levels (1.05x to a maximum of 1.12x compared to pre-study levels). On day 3, sCa levels in males and females administered at 2.0 μg / kg / day increased to severe hypercalcemia levels (maximum 1.42x and 1.34x, respectively, compared to pre-study levels). Administration was discontinued in these two animals, followed by a drug-free period. On day 23, administration was resumed at 1.5 μg / kg / day for one week (25% dose reduction). On day 23 (the first day of administration after the drug-free period), increases in calcium were observed in males at all time points (1.05x to 1.12x compared to pre-study levels), with peak concentrations reached 4 hours after administration. On day 26, an increase was observed in both males and females (up to 1.17x compared to pre-study levels). On day 29, the calcium increase was still present in both males and females.
[0505] Conclusion: The dose of controlled-release PTH compound administered subcutaneously to male and female cynomolgus monkeys was successfully adjusted (reduced) by a 25% increment as a measure against hypercalcemia. sCa levels in the animals were lower after administration of the 25% reduced dose compared to administration of the original higher dose.
