[0026] As used herein, the “subject” to which administration is intended includes, but is not limited to, human beings (i.e., males or females of any age group, e.g., pediatric subjects (e.g., infants, children, adolescents), or adult subjects (e.g., young adults, middle-aged adults, or elderly adults)), and / or non-human animals, such as mammals including primates (e.g., cynomolgus macaques, rhesus macaques), cattle, pigs, horses, sheep, goats, rodents, cats, and / or dogs. In certain embodiments, the subject is human. In certain embodiments, the subject is a non-human animal. The terms “human,” “patient,” and “subject” are used interchangeably herein.

[0027] Diseases, disorders, and conditions are used interchangeably in this specification.

[0028] As used herein, unless otherwise specified, the terms “to treat,” “to treat,” and “treatment” refer to an action that occurs while the subject is suffering from a specified disease, disorder, or condition, and that reduces the severity of the disease, disorder, or condition, or delays or slows the progression of the disease, disorder, or condition (including “therapeutic treatment”).

[0029] As used herein, “effective dose” of a compound refers to an amount sufficient to induce a desired biological response. As will be understood by those skilled in the art, the effective dose of a compound in the present invention may vary depending on factors such as the desired biological endpoint, the pharmacokinetics of the compound, the disease being treated, the mode of administration, and the age, health, and condition of the subject. The effective dose encompasses both therapeutic and prophylactic treatments.

[0030] As used herein, and unless otherwise specified, the “therapeutic dose” of a compound is an amount sufficient to provide therapeutic benefit to the treatment of a disease, disorder, or condition, or to delay or minimize one or more symptoms associated with the disease, disorder, or condition. The therapeutic dose of a compound means the amount of the therapeutic agent, alone or in combination with other therapies, that provides therapeutic benefit to the treatment of a disease, disorder, or condition. The term “therapeutic dose” may include an amount that improves the overall therapy, reduces or avoids the symptoms or causes of the disease or condition, or enhances the therapeutic effect of another therapeutic agent.

[0031] As used herein, the term "amorphous" refers to a solid in a non-crystalline state. Amorphous solids generally have a crystalline-like short-range molecular arrangement, but unlike crystalline solids, they do not have the molecular packing seen in crystalline solids. There is no long-range order. The solid-state form of a solid can be determined by polarized light microscopy, X-ray powder diffraction (XRPD), differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), or other standard techniques known to those skilled in the art.

[0032] As used herein, "crystalline" refers to a solid having a highly regular chemical structure, i.e., a solid with long-range structural order in its crystal lattice. Molecules are arranged in a regular and periodic manner in the three-dimensional space of the lattice. In particular, crystalline forms can be produced as one or more single crystal forms.

[0033] When referring to peaks in the XRPD pattern of the crystalline form of compound 1, the term "peak" refers to a specific set of peaks whose 2θ values, collectively, are uniquely assigned to one of the crystalline forms of compound 1, over a range of 0° to 40°.

[0034] As used herein, the phrase “amorphous solid dispersion” refers to a solid comprising the active pharmaceutical ingredient (e.g., Compound 1) and the dispersion polymer.

[0035] The phrase “dispersion polymer” means a polymer that enables the active pharmaceutical ingredient (e.g., Compound 1) to be dispersed throughout so that a solid dispersion can be formed. The dispersion polymer may contain a mixture of two or more polymers. Examples of dispersion polymers, but are not limited to, vinyl polymers and copolymers, vinylpyrrolidine vinyl acetate copolymer (PVP-VA), polyvinyl alcohol, polyvinyl alcohol polyvinyl acetate copolymer, polyvinylpyrrolidine ("PVP"), acrylate and methacrylate copolymers, methyl methacrylate copolymer (Eudragit®), polyethylene polyvinyl alcohol copolymer, polyoxyethylene-polyoxypropylene block copolymer (also known as poloxamer), polyethylene glycol, graft copolymers composed of polyvinyl caprolactam and polyvinyl acetate (e.g., Soluplus®), cellulosic polymers, e.g., hydroxypropyl methylcellulose acetate ("HPMCA"), hydroxypropyl methylcellulose ("HP") Examples include methylcellulose ("MC"), hydroxypropylcellulose ("HPC"), methylcellulose, hydroxyethylmethylcellulose, hydroxyethylcellulose, hydroxyethylcellulose acetate, and hydroxyethylethylcellulose, hydroxypropylmethylcellulose acetate succinate ("HPMCAS"), hydroxypropylmethylcellulose phthalate ("HPMCP"), carboxymethylethylcellulose ("CMEC"), cellulose acetate phthalate ("CAP"), cellulose acetate succinate ("CAS"), hydroxypropylmethylcellulose acetate phthalate ("HPMCAP"), cellulose acetate trimellitate ("CAT"), hydroxypropylmethylcellulose acetate trimellitate ("HPMCAT"), and carboxymethylcellulose acetate butyrate ("CMCAB").

[0036] As used herein, the terms “stable” and “stability” mean that the development of an active pharmaceutical ingredient (e.g., compound 1) over time and / or under specific environmental conditions (e.g., temperature, humidity, etc.) does not significantly affect its quality, safety, and / or efficacy over a given period of time. This can be measured through the formation of degradation products (impurities), pH fluctuations, appearance, microbial growth, and / or color, as illustrated in the experimental section. Typically, a composition according to the present invention is considered stable if at least 95% of the initial concentration of each active pharmaceutical ingredient is found after 4 weeks at 25°C, and / or if no substantial change in the appearance of the solution is observed during such a period and under such temperature conditions. Stability can be evaluated over a range of relative humidity (RH) conditions, typically 60–75% RH.

[0037] As used herein, the term "particle size" is defined as the diameter of a particle as determined by a Sympatec particle size analyzer.

[0038] compound This specification describes pharmaceutical compositions and dosage forms comprising compounds useful for preventing and / or treating diseases, disorders, or conditions related to abnormal function of sodium ion channels, such as abnormal delayed sodium current (INaL).

[0039] In one embodiment, this disclosure relates to compound 1, represented by: [ka] The present invention relates to dosage forms comprising compound 1 and a pharmaceutically acceptable excipient. In some embodiments, compound 1 is crystalline. In some embodiments, the crystalline morphology exhibits an X-ray powder diffraction pattern with peaks at the following diffraction angles (2θ): 12.6±0.2, 15.8±0.2, and 18.6±0.2. In some embodiments, the crystalline morphology exhibits an X-ray powder diffraction pattern with peaks at the following diffraction angles (2θ): 10.7±0.2, 12.3±0.2, 12.6±0.2, 15.8±0.2, 18.6±0.2, and 22.6±0.2.

In some embodiments, the crystalline morphology has an X-ray powder diffraction pattern substantially identical to that shown in Figure 1.

[0040] In some embodiments, compound 1 is amorphous.

[0041] Dosage and composition In one embodiment, the present disclosure features dosage forms or compositions useful for preventing and / or treating diseases, disorders, or conditions described herein, such as diseases, disorders, or conditions related to abnormal function of sodium ion channels, such as abnormal delayed sodium current (INaL).

[0042] The present invention provides a pharmaceutical composition comprising, as an active ingredient, a compound described herein (e.g., Compound 1) or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof, a carrier comprising one or more pharmaceutically acceptable excipients, an inert solid diluent and a packing agent, a diluent comprising a sterile aqueous solution and various organic solvents, an osmotic enhancer, a solubilizer and an adjuvant. The pharmaceutical composition may be administered alone or in combination with other therapeutic agents. Such compositions are prepared in ways well known in the pharmaceutical art (e.g., Remington's Pharmaceutical Sciences, Mace Publishing Co., Philadelphia, Pa. 17th Ed. (1985), and Modern Pharmaceutics, Marcel Dekker, Inc. 3rd Ed. (see GSBanker & CTRhodes, Eds.)).

[0043] Pharmaceutical compositions are administered, for example, as inhalants, by intra-arterial injection, intravenous injection, intraperitoneal injection, parenteral injection, intramuscular injection, subcutaneous injection, oral injection, topical injection, or by other means, including rectal injection, oral injection, intranasal injection, and transdermal injection routes. For example, the drug may be administered in single or multiple doses by any of the acceptable modes of administration having similar utility to those described in the patents and patent applications incorporated by reference, via an impregnated or coated device such as a stent or an arterial insertion cylindrical polymer.

[0044] One mode of administration is parenteral administration, particularly by injection. Forms into which the novel compositions of the present invention may be incorporated for administration by injection include aqueous or oily suspensions, or emulsions containing sesame oil, corn oil, cottonseed oil, or peanut oil, as well as elixirs, mannitol, dextrose, or sterile aqueous solutions, and similar pharmaceutical vehicles. Aqueous solutions in physiological saline are also conventionally used for injection, but are less preferred in connection with the present invention. Ethanol, glycerol, propylene glycol, liquid polyethylene glycol, etc. (and preferred mixtures thereof), cyclodextrin derivatives, and vegetable oils may also be used. Adequate fluidity can be maintained, for example, by the use of coatings such as lecithin, by maintaining the required particle size in the case of dispersions, and by the use of surfactants. Prevention of microbial activity can be achieved by various antimicrobial and antifungal agents, for example, parabens, chlorobutanol, phenol, sorbic acid, thimerosal, etc.

[0045] Sterile injectable solutions are prepared by incorporating the required amount of the compound according to the present invention into a suitable solvent containing, if necessary, various other components listed above, and then sterilizing by filtration. Generally, dispersions are prepared by incorporating various sterile active ingredients into a sterile vehicle containing a basic dispersion medium and other required components from those listed above. In the case of sterile powders for preparing sterile injectable solutions, preferred preparation methods are vacuum drying and freeze-drying techniques to obtain powders of the active ingredients and any additional desired components from the sterile solution that has been pre-sterilized and filtered.

[0046] Oral administration is another route for administering the compounds according to the present invention. Administration may be via capsules or tablets, etc. In the preparation of a pharmaceutical composition comprising at least one compound described herein, the active ingredient is usually diluted with an excipient and / or encapsulated in such a carrier, which may be in the form of a capsule, pouch, paper, or other container. When the excipient functions as a diluent, the excipient may be in the form of a solid, semi-solid, or liquid material (as described above) acting as a vehicle, carrier, or medium for the active ingredient. Thus, the composition may be in the form of tablets, pills, powders, licks, pouches, cachets, elixirs, suspensions, emulsions, solutions, syrups, aerosols (as solid or in a liquid medium), for example, ointments, soft and hard gelatin capsules, sterile injection solutions, and sterile packaging powders containing up to 10% by weight of the active compound.

[0047] Some examples of suitable excipients include lactose, dextrose, sucrose, sorbitol, mannitol, starch, acacia gum, calcium phosphate, alginate, tragacanth, gelatin, calcium silicate, microcrystalline cellulose, polyvinylpyrrolidone, cellulose, sterile water, syrup, and methylcellulose. The formulation may further contain lubricants, wetting agents, emulsifiers and suspending agents such as talc, magnesium stearate, and mineral oil, as well as preservatives, sweeteners, and flavoring agents such as methyl and propyl hydroxybenzoates.

[0048] The compositions of the present invention can be formulated to provide rapid, sustained, or delayed release of the active ingredient after administration to a patient using procedures known in the art. Controlled-release drug delivery systems for oral administration include osmotic pump systems and dissolution systems containing polymer-coated reservoirs or drug polymer matrix formulations. An example of a controlled-release system is U.S. Patent No. 3,845,770. This is described in U.S. Patents No. 4,326,525, No. 4,902,514, and No. 5,616,345. Another formulation for use in the method of the present invention utilizes a transdermal delivery device ("patch"). Such a transdermal patch may be used to provide a continuous or discontinuous infusion of the compound of the present invention in a controlled amount. The configuration and use of transdermal patches for delivering pharmaceuticals are well known in the art. See, for example, U.S. Patents No. 5,023,252, No. 4,992,445, and No. 5,001,139. ​​Such patches may be constructed for continuous, pulsed, or on-demand delivery of pharmaceuticals.

[0049] The composition is preferably formulated in unit dosage forms. The term “unit dosage form” refers to a physically distinct unit suitable as a unit dose for human subjects and other mammals, each unit containing a predetermined amount of the active substance calculated to produce the desired therapeutic effect in relation to a suitable pharmaceutically effective excipient (e.g., tablet, capsule, ampoule). The compound is generally administered in a pharmaceutically effective dose. Preferably, for oral administration, each dose unit contains 1 mg to 2 g of the compound described herein, and for parenteral administration, preferably 0.1 to 700 mg of the compound described herein. However, it will be understood that the actual amount of compound administered will usually be determined by a physician in consideration of relevant circumstances, including the condition being treated, the route of administration selected, the actual compound administered and its relative activity, the individual patient’s age, weight, and response, and the severity of the patient’s symptoms.

[0050] To prepare solid compositions such as tablets, the main active ingredient is mixed with pharmaceutical excipients to form a solid preliminary formulation composition containing a homogeneous mixture of the compounds of the present invention. When these preliminary formulation compositions are referred to as homogeneous, it means that the active ingredient is uniformly dispersed throughout the composition, thereby allowing the composition to be easily subdivided into equally effective unit dosage forms such as tablets, pills, and capsules.

[0051] The tablets or pills of the present invention may be coated or otherwise formulated to provide a dosage form that offers the benefit of long-term action or to protect from the acidic conditions of the stomach. For example, the tablets or pills may comprise an inner dosage component and an outer dosage component, the latter in the form of a coating covering the former. The two components may be separated by an enteric coating that functions to withstand disintegration in the stomach and allow the inner component to pass through the duodenum intact or be released with delayed release. A variety of materials may be used for such enteric coatings or coatings, including many polymer acids, as well as mixtures of polymer acids with materials such as shellac, cetyl alcohol, and cellulose acetate.

[0052] Compositions for inhalation or inhalation include solutions and suspensions in pharmaceutically acceptable aqueous solvents or organic solvents, or mixtures thereof, as well as powders. Liquid or solid compositions may contain suitable pharmaceutically acceptable excipients as described above. Preferably, compositions are administered orally or via nasal respiratory routes for topical or systemic effects. Compositions in preferably pharmaceutically acceptable solvents may be sprayed using an inert gas. The sprayed solution may be inhaled directly from a spray device, or the spray device may be attached to a face mask tent or an intermittent positive pressure respirator.

[0098] Epilepsy and epileptic syndromes The formulations described herein (e.g., dosage forms, compositions in dosage forms containing compound 1) are useful for the treatment of epilepsy and epileptic syndromes. Epilepsy is a CNS disorder in which the activity of nerve cells in the brain is disrupted, resulting in seizures or periods of abnormal behavior, sensation, and sometimes loss of consciousness. Seizure symptoms vary greatly, from simple, expressionless stares lasting a few seconds to recurrent short contractions of the arms or legs during a seizure.

[0099] Epilepsy can include generalized seizures, partial seizures, or focal seizures. All areas of the brain are involved in generalized seizures. A person experiencing a generalized seizure may scream or make some noise, stiffen for a few seconds to a minute, and then have rhythmic movements of the arms and legs. The eyes are generally open, and the person may appear not to be breathing and may actually turn blue. Consciousness gradually returns, and the person may be confused for several minutes to several hours. There are six main types of generalized seizures: tonic-clonic seizures, tonic seizures, clonic seizures, myoclonic seizures, absence seizures, and atonic seizures. In partial or focal seizures, only a part of the brain is involved, and therefore only a part of the body is affected. Symptoms may vary depending on which part of the brain has abnormal electrical activity.

[0100] Epilepsy as described herein includes generalized, partial, complex partial, tonic-clonic, clonic, tonic, refractory seizures, status epilepticus, absence seizures, febrile seizures, or temporal lobe epilepsy.

[0101] The formulations described herein (e.g., dosage forms containing compound 1, compositions in dosage forms) may also be useful in the treatment of epileptic syndromes. Severe syndromes with diffuse brain dysfunction at least partially caused by certain forms of epilepsy are also called epileptic encephalopathy. These are associated with frequent seizures that are resistant to treatment, and severe cognitive impairment, such as West syndrome.

[0102] In some embodiments, epileptic syndromes include epileptic encephalopathy, such as developmental and epileptic encephalopathy (DEE), Dravet syndrome, Angelman syndrome, CDKL5 disorder, frontal lobe epilepsy, infantile seizures, West syndrome, juvenile myoclonic epilepsy, and Landau syndrome. This includes Kleffner syndrome, Lennox-Gastaut syndrome, Ohtahara syndrome, PCDH19 epilepsy, or Glut1 deficiency.

[0143] By administering the sodium channel blocker of the present invention simultaneously with therapeutic agents suitable for treating cardiovascular-related conditions, it becomes possible to enhance the standard treatment the patient is currently receiving.

[0144] Antiangin medication Antianginal drugs include beta-blockers, calcium channel blockers, and nitrates. Beta-blockers reduce the amount of oxygen the heart needs by reducing the workload on the heart, resulting in a lower heart rate and less vigorous contractions. Examples of beta-blockers include acebutolol (Sectral), atenolol (Tenormin), betaxolol (Kerlone), bisoprolol / hydrochlorothiazide (Ziac), bisoprolol (Zebeta), carteolol (Cartrol), esmolol (Brevibloc), labetalol (Normodyne, Trendate), metoprolol (Lopressor, Toprol XL), nadolol (Corgard), propranolol (Inderal), sotalol (Betapace), and timolol (Blocadren).

[0145] Nitrates dilate arteries and veins, thereby increasing coronary blood flow and lowering blood pressure. Examples of nitrates include nitroglycerin, nitrate patches, isosorbide disnitrate, and isosorbide 5-nitrate.

[0146] Calcium channel blockers prevent the normal flow of calcium to heart and blood vessel cells, causing vasodilation and thereby increasing the supply of blood and oxygen to the heart. Examples of calcium channel blockers include amlodipine (Norvasc, Lotrel), bepridil (Vascor), diltiazem (Cardizem, Tiazac), felodipine (Plendil), nifedipine (Adalat, Procardia), nimodipine (Nimotop), nisolodipine (Sular), verapamil (Calan, Isoptin, Verelan), and nicardipine.

[0147] Heart failure medication Medications used to treat heart failure include diuretics, ACE inhibitors, vasodilators, and cardiac glycosides. Diuretics remove excess fluid from tissues and circulation, thereby alleviating many of the symptoms of heart failure. Examples of diuretics include hydrochlorothiazide, metrasone (Zaroxolyn), furosemide (Lasix), bumetanide (Bumex), spironolactone (Aldactone), and eplerenone (lnspra).

[0148] Angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitors reduce the workload on the heart by dilating blood vessels and decreasing resistance to blood flow. Examples of ACE inhibitors include benazepril (Lotensin), captopril (Capoten), enalapril (Vasotec), fosinopril (Monopril), lisinopril (Prinivil, Zestril), moexipril (Univasc), perindopril (Aceon), quinapril (Accupril), ramipril (Altace), and trandolapril (Mavik).

[0149] Vasodilators reduce pressure on blood vessels by relaxing and dilating them. Examples of vasodilators include hydralazine, diazoxide, prazosin, clonidine, and methyldopa. ACE inhibitors, nitrates, potassium channel activators, and calcium channel blockers also act as vasodilators.

[0150] Cardiac glycosides are compounds that increase the contractile force of the heart. These compounds enhance the heart's pumping capacity and improve irregular heart rate. Examples of cardiac glycosides include digitalis, digoxin, and digitoxin.

[0151] Antithrombotic drugs Antithrombotic drugs inhibit the blood's ability to clot. There are three main types of antithrombotic drugs: antiplatelet agents, anticoagulants, and thrombolytic agents.

[0152] Antiplatelet drugs inhibit the coagulation activity of platelets, thereby reducing arterial coagulation. Examples of antiplatelet drugs include acetylsalicylic acid (aspirin), ticlopidine, clopidogrel (plavix), dipyridamole, cilostazol, persantinsulfinpyrazone, dipyridamole, indomethacin, and glycoprotein IIb / IIIa inhibitors, such as absiximab, tirofiban, and eptifivatide (Integrelin). Beta-blockers and calcium channel blockers also have platelet inhibitory effects. Anticoagulants prevent thrombi from growing and prevent the formation of new blood clots. Examples of anticoagulants include bivalirudine (Angiomax), warfarin (Coumadin), unfractionated heparin, low molecular weight heparin, danaparoid, repirudine, and argatroban.

[0153] Thrombolytic drugs work by breaking down existing blood clots. An example of a thrombolytic drug is Strep. Examples include tokinase, urokinase, and tenecteplase (TNK), as well as tissue plasminogen activator (t-PA).

[0154] Antiarrhythmic drugs Antiarrhythmic drugs are used to treat heart rate and rhythm disorders. Examples of antiarrhythmic drugs include amiodarone, dronedarone, quinidine, procainamide, lidocaine, and propafenone. Cardiac glycosides and beta-blockers are also used as antiarrhythmic drugs.

[0155] Considering the synergistic effects of the recently discovered sodium channel blocker lanolazine, amioarone, and doronedarone, the combination of amiodarone and doronedarone is particularly interesting.

For manual grinding, compound 1 was weighed into a ceramic motor and gently ground for approximately 5 minutes. The particle size distribution (PSD) of compound 1 showed D90 = 77.82 μm and D90 = 28.27 μm before and after manual grinding. The PSD obtained by the dry method was measured by Sympatec The analysis was performed using a HELOS particle size analyzer, with the dispersion system and pressure set to RODOS and 0.5 bar, respectively. [Table 2]

[0184] In the case of jet pulverization, compound 1 was pulverized by jet pulverization with a yield of approximately 90%. The particle size of the jet-pulverized material was reduced to a range of 4.7–13.5 μm (D90). [Table 3]

[0185] X-ray powder diffraction (XRPD) data were collected using a Bruker D8 Advance powder diffractometer. The sample was irradiated with copper K-alpha X-rays (λ=1.54179Å) using a generator operating at 40kV / 40mA. The sample was scanned in a continuous mode from 3° to 40° (2θ) at a sample rotation speed of 15 rpm and a scanning speed of 10° / min. Figure 1 shows the XRPD patterns of the raw material and the jet-ground material, indicating that there was no change in the physical morphology of compound 1 after jet grinding.

[0186] For compound 1 before and after jet pulverization, proton NMR ( 1 H-NMR, fluorine NMR ( 19 1F-NMR and LC-MS analysis were also performed. Both the NMR and LC-MS results were used to determine the chemical or structural properties of compound 1 obtained by jet pulverization. This indicates that no significant changes were observed.

[0195] Table 3 summarizes the prototypes used to prepare the solution formulation of compound 1 and their respective stabilizations. Table 4 shows detailed stability results. [Table 4]

[0196] For the stability and purity tests of Compound 1, a high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) method was developed. The HPLC method used for the chemical stability and purity tests was as follows. [Table 5] [Table 6]

[0197] Approximately 24 mg of Compound 1 was added to an 8 mL glass bottle, dissolved by Prototype 2b, and then sonicated for 10 minutes to obtain a clear solution with a concentration of 7 mg / mL. Subsequently, the solution was diluted three times with water for the stability test. The results are as shown in Table 5 below. [Table 7]

[0198] Based on the HPLC results and appearance, the formulations of Prototype 1, 2a, 2b, and 3 containing Compound 1 were stable under ambient conditions for at least 7 days.

[0199] Suspension formulation To prepare the suspension formulation of Compound 1, approximately 0.5 mg, 5 mg, and 10 mg of Compound 1 were weighed into separate vials, and 1 mL of 0.5% MC 400 cP / 0.2% Tween 80 was added to each vial. The materials were mixed together by Vortex and stirred at room temperature overnight (24 hours). The stability of the suspension formulation was measured by quantifying the purity of Compound 1 using high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC). The suspension remained a homogeneous suspension. Table 6 summarizes the stability results.

[0200] To prepare a suspension formulation containing jet-milled Compound 1, 15 mg of jet-milled Compound 1 was weighed into a glass vial, then 10 mL of vehicle (0.5% MC 400 cP / 0.2% Tween 80) was added and dispersed to achieve a Compound 1 concentration of 1.5 mg / mL. The suspension was completely dispersed by homogenization for approximately 30 seconds. The stability of the suspension was evaluated by HPLC and particle size distribution (PSD), and the results are summarized in Table 7. Based on HPLC and PSD, the suspension formulation containing jet-milled Compound 1 was stable under ambient conditions for 28 days.

Table 9

[0201] As shown in Tables 8 - 11, various suspension formulations were tested for stability under different conditions.

[0202] To prepare the suspension, the required amount of milled Compound 1 is weighed into a glass container and the corresponding volume of vehicle is added. Using an overhead mixer at the final concentration target, the compound is completely dispersed into a homogeneous suspension. Concentrations were prepared at 0.1 mg / mL and 10 mg / mL. The suspension product was physically evaluated for appearance, concentration, purity, and PSD.

[0203] The vehicle is prepared by dissolving either 0.5 wt% of methylcellulose with 400 cP or 4000 cP methylcellulose, and 0.2% of Poloxamer 188. For the stored suspension, an additional 1.0 volume% of paraben preservation solution is dissolved into the vehicle using an overhead mixer. The paraben preservation solution was prepared by dissolving 0.10 g of methylparaben and 0.025 g of propylparaben in 9.875 g of propylene glycol and mixing for 1 hour with a stirring bar at room temperature.

Table 10

[0204] Amorphous solid dispersion (ASD) Amorphous solid dispersions containing compound 1 were prepared using a mixture of compound 1 and a polymer. Nine different polymers (PVPK30, PVPVA64, Soluplus, HPMC E5, HPMC ASMG, HPMC ASMF, HPMC ASHG, Eudragit EPO, Eudragit L100) were used to screen for use as solid dispersants, and nine ASD formulations were prepared. Approximately 10 mg of compound 1 and 40 mg of the corresponding polymer were weighed into a 40-mL glass vial and dissolved in 1 mL of MeOH / DCM (1:1, v / v) to prepare a stock solution. The resulting clear solution was stored at 70°C and rapidly evaporated to obtain a solid dispersion. The evaporated product was dried overnight under vacuum at 30°C, and further characterization was performed by appearance, PLM, XRPD, and mDSC.

[0205] Nine ASD formulations were tested for kinetic solubility in FaSSIF at a concentration of 2 mg / mL. The experiment was conducted at 37°C and a speed of 450 rpm. At each time point, 0.5 mL of the mixture was taken out and centrifuged before running ULC (the level of compound 1 was determined using the shortened runtime version of the HPLC method described). The results are shown in Table 12. Improved solubility was observed for most polymers, particularly Eudragit EPO. [Table 14]

[0206] Based on the kinetic solubility evaluation of the prototype ASD formulations. Then, three exemplary prototype ASD formulations were prepared for further evaluation using Soluplus, Eudragit L100, or HPMC ASMF, and are summarized in Table 13. The stability test results of the selected ASD formulations are shown in Tables 14 and 15. [Table 15] [Table 16] [Table 17]

[0207] Scale-up of Three ASDs by Spray Dryer ASD-1 Preparation: Approximately 300 mg of Compound 1 and approximately 1200 mg of Soluplus were weighed into a 250 mL glass, then 150 mL of acetone was added to make a clear solution, which was then spray dried. After spray drying, the powder was collected and dried under vacuum conditions at 30 °C for 12 hours (yield 80.2%).

[0208] ASD-2 Preparation: Approximately 300 mg of Compound 1 and approximately 1200 mg of Eudragit L100 were weighed into a 250 mL glass, then 150 mL of acetone was added to make a clear solution, which was then spray dried. After spray drying, the powder was collected and dried under vacuum conditions at 30 °C for 12 hours (yield 74.5%).

[0209] ASD-3 Preparation: Approximately 300 mg of Compound 1 and approximately 1200 mg of HPMC ASMF were weighed into a 250 mL glass, then 150 mL of acetone was added to make a clear solution, which was then spray dried. After spray drying, the powder was collected and dried under vacuum conditions at 30 °C for 12 hours (yield 70.0%).

[0210] The ASD-3 prototype was also evaluated in an in vitro dissolution test. The collected ASD-3 spray-dried powder was manually weighed directly into size #4 hard gelatin capsules using an analytical balance at two dose strengths: 2.5 and 10 mg of the active ingredient (13.7 and 54.8 mg of ASD).

[0211] The following conditions were used for the elution method. [Table 18]

[0212] For elution analysis, the compound level in the elution medium was quantified using HPLC. The same HPLC method was used for both the elution test and the content uniformity test. The HPLC method used is as follows: [Table 19]

[0213] The dissolution results are shown in Figure 2. At dose intensities of 2.5 mg and 10 mg, the release rates for the two dose intensities were 29.76% and 17.64%, respectively.

[0214] The ASD-3 prototype was also evaluated in a pharmacokinetic (PK) study in cynomolgus monkeys using a crossover study design. The collected ASD-3 spray-dried powder was manually weighed directly into size #4 hard gelatin capsules using an analytical balance. Three male monkeys were orally administered 0.5 mg per kg of body weight under fasting conditions, and plasma samples were analyzed for compound level 1.

[0215] Capsule formulation Exemplary capsule formulations contain 2.5 mg, 10 mg, or 100 mg of Compound 1 per capsule. For the 2.5 mg dose capsule, the formulation contains a 1:10 blend of Compound 1 to microcrystalline cellulose (MCC) with 2% magnesium stearate (MgSt) in a gelatin capsule, while another formulation contains 2.5 mg of pure Compound 1 in a gelatin capsule (without additional excipients).

[0216] The pulverized compound 1 and the filler (MCC or starch) were weighed separately and blended for 15 minutes to obtain a homogeneous mixture. The required amount of magnesium stearate was added and blended together. The blend was manually filled into appropriately sized hard gelatin capsules. The samples were then kept stable under various conditions and analyzed for the appearance of the assay at various time points.

[0217] Blended formulation Blends 1 and 2 (1:10 blend) 1 g of pulverized compound 1 and 9 g of MCC or starch were weighed into a container. The two components were mixed using a Turbula at a speed of 36 rpm for approximately 15 minutes to obtain a homogeneous phase. 0.2 g of MgSt was added and mixed for a further 3 minutes to obtain homogeneous blend 1 (Table 16). Dose uniformity was evaluated by measuring a 10-capsule assay (Tables 18 and 19). [Table 20]

[0218] Blends 3 and 4 (1:1 blend) 5 g of pulverized compound 1 and 5 g of MCC or starch were weighed into a container. The two components were mixed using a Turbula at a speed of 36 rpm for approximately 15 minutes to obtain a homogeneous phase. 0.2 g of MgSt was added and mixed for a further 3 minutes to obtain homogeneous blend 1 (Table 17). Dose uniformity was evaluated by measuring a 10-capsule assay (Tables 20 and 21). [Table 21]

[0219] Tables 18-21 summarize the blend uniformity results for four exemplary blends (blends 1-4 above) containing compound 1. [Table 22] [Table 23] [Table 24] [Table 25]

[0220] Tables 21.1, 21.2, 21.3, and 21.4 show the stability results for Blend 1 capsule and Blend 2 capsule at dose intensities of 1 mg per capsule (1:10 blend ratio), 10 mg per capsule (1:10 and 50:50 blend ratios), and 100 mg per capsule (50:50 blend ratio). [Table 26] [Table 27] [Table 28] [Table 29]

[0221] The dissolution of Blend 1 in size #0 HG capsules at a 1:10 ratio of compound 1 to MCC was evaluated for both 1 mg and 10 mg of the active ingredient (10 mg and 100 mg blends with MCC, respectively).

[0222] The following conditions were used for the elution method. [Table 30]

[0223] The results are shown in Figure 3, where 50.3% of the 1 mg dose-intensity capsules were released after 120 minutes, and 20.5% of the 10 mg dose-intensity capsules were released after 120 minutes.

[0224] To evaluate the effect of adding a surfactant to the 1:10 MCC capsule blend (Blend 1), further prototype blend capsule formulations were prepared. For evaluation in stability tests (Table 21.3), crossover PK tests, and dissolution tests, a 1:10 compound 1:MCC (25 mg blend and 0.5 mg SLS) containing 2% SLS was manually filled into size #4 hard gelatin capsules (the dose level was 2.5 mg of active ingredient per capsule). [Table 31]

[0225] Three male monkeys were orally administered 0.5 mg per kg of body weight while fasted, and plasma samples were analyzed for compound 1 levels. The levels of compound 1 in the obtained plasma did not show a significant increase with exposure to the MCC blend capsule containing the surfactant (AUC[0-inf] = 1,004 ng-hours / mL) compared to the case without the surfactant (area under the curve from 0 hours to infinity, AUC[0-inf] = 994 ng-hours / mL).

[0226] Blend 1 MCC capsules, both containing and without the surfactant, were also evaluated in in vitro dissolution tests at a dose intensity of 2.5 mg of compound 1.

[0227] The following conditions were used for the elution method. [Table 32]

[0228] The dissolution results are shown in Figure 4. When 2% SDS was added to the formulation, the in vitro dissolution and release significantly increased, from 38% release after 120 minutes with Poloxamer 188 to 54% release after 120 minutes with SLS.

[0229] Table 22 presents other exemplary formulations of the blend capsules (prototypes 1-12). [Table 33]

[0230] Table 23 shows examples of excipients that may be used in the preparation of the formulations disclosed in this application. [Table 34] TIFF2026086664000060.tif121170

[0231] Example 3. Pharmacokinetic study of formulations containing compound 1 Pharmacokinetic (PK) studies were conducted in animals using the formulations described in Example 2. Compound 1 was formulated to achieve the desired dose (Table 24) and administered to groups of three fasted animals by single oral force-feeding. Blood samples were collected using at least seven time points, and plasma samples were then prepared for in vivo analysis. PK parameters were then obtained after non-compartmental pharmacokinetic analysis using Phoenix WinNonlin software (version 6.3, Pharsight, Mountain View, CA). A linear / logarithmic trapezoidal rule was applied to obtain the PK parameters. Nominal dose levels and nominal sampling times were used in the calculation of all pharmacokinetic parameters. The PK data are summarized in Table 24. The results are summarized in the following table. Studies 14–17 were conducted under a crossover design. In the table, the prototype 2a solution is 58.1% Kolliphor RH40 + 16.9% Labrafil M2125 CS + 8.3% propylene glycol + 16.7% ethanol. MC is methylcellulose 400cP, and Tween 80 is polyoxyethylene (80) sorbitan monooleate, HPMC-ASMF, Solplus, and Eudragit are polymers, and Poloxamer is a copolymer. [Table 35]

[0232] Regarding the Cmax values ​​in Table 24, A represents values ​​greater than 50 ng / mL and a maximum of 150 ng / mL, B represents values ​​greater than 150 ng / mL and a maximum of 300 ng / mL, C represents values ​​greater than 300 mg / mL and a maximum of 600 mg / mL, and D represents values ​​greater than 600 ng / mL and a maximum of 900 ng / mL.

[0233] Furthermore, human PK and effective doses are estimated. Based on calculations, the effective human dose for neurological disorders (e.g., epilepsy) is approximately 2.5–100 mg (e.g., 60 mg) once daily.

[0234] Example 4. A randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled study evaluating the safety, tolerability, and pharmacokinetics of single and multiple dose escalations of Compound 1 and the effects of food in healthy volunteers. This study examined the safety, tolerability, and PK of compound 1 in healthy volunteers aged 18-55 years. This is a three-part clinical trial to evaluate the effects of diet, and the following three parts: ● Part A is randomized, double-blind, and placebo-controlled. Part A is designed to investigate the safety and pharmacokinetics of a single escalating dose of compound 1. ● Part B is randomized, double-blind, and placebo-controlled. Part B is designed to investigate the safety and pharmacokinetics of multiple escalating doses of compound 1 (selected based on the results from Part A). ● Part C is a randomized, open-label, crossover design to investigate the pharmacokinetics (PK) of a single dose of compound 1 in fasted and fed conditions.

[0235] Objectives and evaluation criteria: [Table 36] [Table 37] [Table 38]

[0236] Based on new safety and PK data from Part A, the SRC may select the starting dose for Part B before completion of all dose-level cohorts in Part A. Part C may be initiated after the last SAD cohort. Parts A and B are double-blinded, including participants and investigators, while the sponsor is not blinded to facilitate safety review. Each part consists of three periods: screening, intervention, and safety follow-up.

[0237] Screening / Baseline Period The screening period for all three parts is a maximum of 27 days (-28th day to -2nd day). That is the case.

[0238] Intervention period Following continuous eligibility checks, participants check in to the clinic on day -1 (the day before investigational drug administration) for evaluation. Participants remain in the unit from baseline (day -1) until discharge (day 6 of Part A, day 12 of Part B, and day 13 of Part C).

[0239] Part A Healthy volunteers are enrolled to receive a single escalating dose of either Compound 1 or placebo on day 1. Part A of the dose escalation is conducted in a total of six planned cohorts (Cohorts A1-A6). Up to three additional cohorts may be tested at planned dose levels or intermediate dose levels. Eight participants are enrolled in each cohort and randomized to receive either Compound 1 or placebo (ratio 3:1). Compound 1 is administered to participants in Cohort A1 at a starting dose of 2.5 mg. Dosing in all cohorts is under fasting conditions.

[0240] In each dose level cohort, administration was initiated with two sentinel participants, one of whom was randomized to receive compound 1 and the other to receive placebo. Safety and tolerability for each sentinel participant were monitored until day 6 and reviewed before administration to the remaining participants in each cohort.

[0241] The cohorts will be administered in an escalating manner. After each dose cohort in Part A has completed administration, blinded cumulative safety data and available blinded PK data collected up to day 6 will be reviewed by the Safety Review Board (SRC) to determine the safety and tolerability of the investigational drug.

[0242] If the current dose level is deemed safe and tolerable, the next dose cohort will be enrolled and randomized to receive either the active compound 1 or placebo at a selected dose. EEG to assess the effect of compound 1 on auditory-induced responses may be performed in one or more cohorts, as determined based on safety and PK profiles. [Table 39]

[0243] Part B The starting dose level for Part B will be determined by the SRC based on safety, tolerability, and PK data obtained in Part A. The SRC may select the starting dose for Part B before the completion of all dose-level cohorts in Part A.

[0244] If the drug is deemed safe and tolerable in Part A, the dose level will be evaluated in Part B. In Part B, it is expected that three dose levels will be evaluated across a total of three cohorts (Cohorts B1-B3). An additional cohort may be added to repeat dose levels or to test an intermediate dose. Eight participants will be enrolled in each cohort and randomized to receive either Compound 1 or placebo (ratio 3:1). .

[0245] The dose levels of compound 1 evaluated in Part B will not exceed the doses tested in Part A. Administration will begin on day 1 and continue until day 7. The final dose will be administered on the morning of day 7. Administration in all cohorts in Part B will be under fasting conditions. Two sentinel participants are planned for each dose cohort in Part B. [Table 40]

[0246] In each dose cohort of Part B, after the completion of investigational drug administration, the SRC will review blinded safety data (including safety assessments conducted on day 9) and available PK data, following the same procedure as in Part A, to determine the safety and tolerability of the investigational drug.

[0247] EEG to evaluate the effect of compound 1 on auditory-induced responses may be performed in one or more cohorts determined by the sponsor based on safety and PK profiles.

[0248] Part C Part C can be initiated once safety and PK have been adequately assessed in the final cohort of Part A. Up to 16 participants will receive two doses of compound 1, one after fasting for at least 10 hours and the other after a high-fat, high-calorie meal in a randomized crossover design, with a 7-day washout period. Based on the half-lives observed in Part A, an additional washout of up to 3 days may be added between the fasting and feeding doses.

[0249] The dose used in Part C shall not exceed the dose used in Part A and shall be approved by the SRC based on the safety and PK data obtained. Sentinel administration may be used in Part C if deemed appropriate by the SRC. Part C is not blinded.

[0250] Safety assessment and monitoring Safety and tolerability assessments include vital signs, 12-lead ECG, physical examination, clinical laboratory tests, and the C-SSRS outlined in SoAs.

[0251] Number of participants: ● Part A: Up to 72 people are scheduled to receive either compound 1 or a placebo. ● Part B: Up to 32 people are scheduled to receive either compound 1 or a placebo. ● Part C: Compound 1 is scheduled to be administered to a maximum of 16 people.

[0252] Exclusion criteria During screening, participants who meet any of the following criteria will be excluded from this clinical trial: ●ECG abnormalities, including a QT interval >450 milliseconds using the Fridericia correction method (QTcF), confirmed by a single repeated test as needed at the time of screening or on day 1, and evaluated as clinically significant by the principal investigator. ●Two weeks prior to the first dose of the investigational drug or five times the terminal half-life of the drug, whichever is longer. Use of multivitamins, as well as nutritional and herbal supplements, during the clinical trial period, in systemic prescription drugs or over-the-counter (OTC) drugs.

[0253] Test product, reference therapy, administration: ● Part A: Capsules of Compound 1 or corresponding placebo are administered orally. ● Part B: Capsules of Compound 1 or corresponding placebo are administered orally. ● Part C: Capsules of Compound 1 are administered orally.

[0254] Statistical methods: PK analysis: For the determination of the plasma and urine concentrations of Compound 1, validated biological analytical methods are utilized. Plasma and urine concentrations are summarized by dose group / condition and time point using descriptive statistics. In addition to the descriptive statistics specified under the general conditions described above, plasma concentrations are also summarized using the number and percentage of concentrations below the quantification level (BLQ) and coefficient of variation (CV%).

[0255] Pharmacokinetic parameters are estimated from concentration-time data using standard non-compartmental methods. Urinary PK parameters are estimated from urinary concentration and urine volume data. PK parameters are summarized by dose group / condition using descriptive statistics. In addition to the descriptive statistics specified under the general conditions described above, PK parameters are summarized using CV%, geometric mean, and geometric coefficient of variation. PK parameters are evaluated for linearity and dose proportionality using a power model, if possible. To test the effect of food in Part C, the geometric mean ratio (ln-transformed) of the test treatment (i.e., fed condition) to the reference treatment (i.e., fasting condition) is estimated with the 90% CI calculated for max and AUC 0-inf . If the 90% CI of the ratio of both max and AUC 0-inf is completely contained within the interval of 0.80 to 1.25, it is concluded that there is no effect of food. If there are unexpected difficulties in determining the terminal half-life, AUC 0-last is used as AUC 0-infIt can be used instead of [this].

A randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled study evaluating the safety, tolerability, and pharmacokinetics of single and multiple dose escalations of Compound 1 and the effects of food in healthy volunteers. This is a three-part clinical trial to evaluate the safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics, and dietary effects of compound 1 in healthy volunteers aged 18–55 years. The trial consists of the following three parts: ● Part A is randomized, double-blind, and placebo-controlled. Part A is designed to investigate the safety, tolerability, and pharmacokinetics of a single escalating dose of Compound 1 ranging from 2.5 mg to 90 mg. ● Part B will be randomized, double-blind, and placebo-controlled. Part B is designed to investigate the safety, tolerability, and pharmacokinetics of multiple escalating doses of compound 1 (dosages selected based on the results from Part A). ● Part C is a randomized, open-label, crossover design to investigate the pharmacokinetics, safety, and tolerability of a single dose of Compound 1 (a dose selected based on the results from Part A) in fasted and fed states.

[0276] result Preliminary analyses of the first four of the six planned cohorts in Part A of the trial indicate that compound 1 appears to be well tolerable at the tested dose. Reviewed safety data included adverse events, vital signs, ECG, C-SSRS, physical examination, and safety laboratory data. No serious, severe, or adverse events leading to discontinuation or termination of the trial were reported in the first three cohorts tested.

[0277] Based on preliminary data, exposure appears to increase proportionally with dose levels, with peak concentrations reached in 2–3 hours. The terminal elimination half-life averages 114 hours (approximately 4–5 days) across the entire group. 90% of steady-state individuals should be reached in about two weeks with once-daily administration.

[0278] Example 5. Randomized, double-blind comparison of the efficacy and safety of Compound 1 compared to placebo for the acute and prophylactic treatment of chronic SUNCT and SUNA. This multicenter clinical trial will evaluate the efficacy, safety, tolerability, and pharmacokinetics of compound 1 in participants aged 18–65 years with chronic SUNCT or chronic SUNA. This is a double-blind, placebo-controlled trial. Participants will be randomized in a 1:1:1 ratio to receive one of three blinded treatments: high dose mg of compound 1 orally daily, low dose mg of compound 1 orally daily, or placebo daily. Participants will self-administer the investigational drug once daily at weekly visits. Participants will be required to answer questions in an electronic diary (eDiary) three times a day, for example, before administration, or approximately 24 hours after the previous administration, approximately 4 hours after administration, and approximately 10 hours after administration. [Table 46]

[0279] The clinical trial consists of three periods: screening / baseline, intervention, and safety follow-up. An optional washout period is also available for participants receiving prophylactic medication.

[0280] Screening / Baseline Period The screening period will be, for example, 28 days (-28th day to -1st day). For participants discontinuing SUNCT or SUNA prophylactic medications (e.g., carbamazepine, lamotrigine), an optional washout period is permitted, for example, up to 14 days prior to screening.

[0281] During screening, participants will, for example, use a daily eDiary during a 14-day observation period. Complete the input to assess the stability, severity, and frequency of SUNCT and SUNA headaches.

[0282] Intervention period After eligibility is confirmed during screening, participants complete a baseline assessment (Day 1).

[0283] On day 1, participants return to the clinic and are randomized to one of three treatment groups to receive their first dose of the investigational drug. Participants remain in the clinical setting under medical observation for at least, for example, 6 hours. Headache logs are completed via eDiary daily before administration (e.g., approximately 24 hours after the previous dose) and, for example, approximately 4 and 10 hours after administration. After the first dose, participants continue daily administration at home until day 21. Participants return to the clinic to complete evaluations, for example, on day 7 (±1 day), day 14 (±1 day), and day 21 (±1 day). At selected sites, intensive PK sample collection is taken at the clinic, for example, on day 1, day 7 (±1 day), day 14 (±1 day), and day 21 (±1 day).

[0284] Key safety measures include clinical laboratory evaluation, 12-lead ECG, C-SSRS, and vital signs. Key efficacy evaluations include headache logging via eDiary (see evaluation schedule for details). Blood samples are obtained to measure plasma concentrations of compound 1 using validated bioanalytical methods and may also be used for exploratory method development and / or metabolite characterization.

[0285] Safety tracking period The safety follow-up period is conducted, for example, from day 22 to day 36. At the end of the safety follow-up period, participants return to the clinic, for example, on day 57 (±1 day) for the final evaluation. During this visit, the following evaluations are performed: vital signs, physical examination, clinical tests, ECG, C-SSRS assessment, and efficacy evaluation.

[0286] Adverse events and the use and procedures of concomitant medications are monitored from the time of informed consent until day 36 (±1 day). At that point, the participant is considered to have completed the clinical trial.

[0287] Selection / Exclusion Criteria Participants are, for example, women or men aged 18-65 years (inclusive) at the time of screening, with a history of chronic SUNCT and SUNA headaches that began before age 50 and lasted for, for example, more than one year, and who experience at least, for example, 100 episodes of SUNCT and SUNA headache over a 14-day period during the observation period of the clinical trial.

[0288] Test product, reference therapy, administration One capsule containing a high dose of mg of the compound, one capsule containing a low dose of mg of the compound, or a placebo will be administered orally and provided to participants in a pre-packaged container.

[0289] Dosage / route / regime The dosage is determined by PK data. The route of administration is oral.

[0290] statistical methods Safety, tolerability, PK, and efficacy variables are summarized using descriptive statistics. Descriptive summaries of categorical variables include counts and percentages. Descriptive summaries of continuous variables include the number of participants (n), mean, standard deviation (SD), median, minimum, and maximum. Where appropriate, 95% confidence intervals (CIs) may be reported. Summaries are not required. It will be presented as needed, at each stage.

[0291] Standard PK parameters are estimated using a non-compartmental method based on concentration-time data. These parameters, where possible, include Cmax, tmax, and AUC0-tau, and exploratory analyses can be performed to examine the relationship between PK and efficacy parameters for the PK analysis population.

[0292] Primary and secondary efficacy measures Headache log completed via eDiary An electronic tablet application for collecting information on participants' headache activity before administration (or approximately 24 hours after the previous administration) and approximately 4 and 10 hours after administration. Information collected at all time points includes headache frequency, duration, and severity (measured using the Stanford Pain Scale). Information collected only at 10 hours post-administration includes: type of attack, accompanying symptoms, trigger factors, and autonomic symptoms. Additional information collected via eDiary at 10 hours post-administration includes visual analog scales (VAS), activities of daily living, and disability levels.

[0293] Stanford Pain Scale The Stanford Pain Scale is a comparative pain scale with a corresponding explanation for each scale value ranging from 0 (no pain) to 10 (unspeakable pain). Pain rated between 0 and 3 is considered "mild," pain rated between 4 and 6 is considered "moderate," and pain rated between 7 and 10 is considered "severe." The Stanford Pain Scale is completed by the participant.

[0294] Trigger factors Participants are asked to evaluate whether their response to a trigger factor (e.g., brushing their hair, touching their face, chewing) has changed, using a 5-point scale: 0 = no change, 1 = slight improvement, 2 = moderate improvement, 3 = significant improvement, 4 = trigger factor resolution.

[0295] Visual Analog Scale The visual analog scale asks participants to rate their satisfaction with the treatment using a Likert scale with categories ranging from 0 = very low effect to 10 = very high effect.

[0296] Level of disability Participants' disability levels are measured by the participants themselves using the following goal achievement scale categories: 0 = no disability, 1 = mild, 2 = moderate, 3 = severe, 4 = unbearable.

[0297] SF-36 Health Survey (v2 Acute) (36-Item Short Form Health Survey (v2 Acute)) The SF-36 is a 36-item survey that measures a participant's overall health status (McHorney et al., 1994). The SF-36 assesses eight health concepts. The score is a weighted sum of the questions in each section. The score ranges from 0 to 100, with lower scores indicating greater impairment. An acute version of the SF-36 is completed by the participant if indicated in the SoA. In the acute version, participants are asked about their health status in the previous week.

[0298] activities of daily living Participants will be asked to assess changes in their ability to perform activities of daily living.
