[0002] Field of the Invention The present specification provides a formulation for delivering a multi - kinase inhibitor.
Background Art
[0003] Background A multi - kinase inhibitor is an inhibitor that targets two or more protein kinases. A protein kinase is an enzyme that can add a phosphate group to a protein to regulate its function. Since phosphorylation controls many biological processes, multi - kinase inhibitors can be used in the treatment of various diseases or in the regulation of cell functions. The therapeutic potential of such compounds depends, at least in part, on how suitably the compound can be formulated and delivered for a particular treatment.

[Invention 1026] A method for treating an eye condition, comprising the step of administering an emulsion according to any of invention 1001 to 1025 to the eye of a subject. Details of one or more embodiments of the present invention are shown in the accompanying drawings and the following detailed description. Other features, purposes, and advantages of the present invention will become apparent from the detailed description and drawings, as well as from the claims. [Brief explanation of the drawing]
[0039] [Figure 1] This is an illustrative diagram illustrating the concept of exemplary disynamic emulsions and solubilizer systems used in some embodiments of the compositions described herein. [Figure 2] This plot shows the reduction in CNV in rabbits with 0.2% nintedanib emulsion or solution of Example 6. [Modes for carrying out the invention]
[0040] Detailed description of the invention The detailed descriptions herein are intended to provide details for understanding various aspects of the invention, and the disclosures provided are not intended to limit the claims to any particular aspect, but rather to illustrate the subject matter of the claims. Accordingly, certain aspects disclosed herein may be combined with other specific aspects disclosed herein, such as certain aspects under various headings provided for convenience and structural purposes, but this should not be interpreted as limiting the claims in any way.
[0041] All public documents cited herein are incorporated herein by reference in their entirety.
[0042] As used herein, the singular forms “a,” “an,” and “the” include the plural form unless otherwise evident from the context.
[0043] As used herein, unless otherwise specified, the term “about” is provided to indicate that, when used in relation to a number or range of values, that value or range of values may deviate to an extent that would be reasonable to a person skilled in the art (e.g., a particular temperature or temperature range). For example, when used in this context, the term “about” may, in some embodiments, indicate that a number or range of values may differ from the described value or range of values by only 5%, 4%, 3%, 2%, 1%, 0.9%, 0.8%, 0.7%, 0.6%, 0.5%, 0.4%, 0.3%, 0.2%, or 0.1%. In some embodiments, the number or range of values may differ by only 5%.
[0044] Nintedanib, axitinib, and pazopanib are three potent multikinase inhibitors targeting vascular endothelial growth factor receptor (VEGFR), platelet-derived growth factor receptor (PDGFR), and / or fibroblast growth factor receptor (FGFR). When formulated as oral capsules or tablets, nintedanib, axitinib, and pazopanib constitute an effective drug therapy for treating various types of cancer. However, nintedanib, axitinib, and pazopanib are insoluble in water, with a solubility of less than 0.001 mg / mL at room temperature. These physical and chemical properties can limit their application and prevent effective delivery of therapeutically effective concentrations to target ocular tissue via topical intraocular administration. Surprisingly, the synergistic effect of emulsion systems, optionally combined with solubilizers such as cyclic oligosaccharides (e.g., 2-hydroxypropyl-β-cyclodextrin), was found to enable the successful formulation of therapeutically effective concentrations of multi-kinase inhibitors such as nintedanib, axitinib, or pazopanib with sufficient stability to achieve a desirable shelf life. For example, unexpectedly, the emulsion, and optionally the solubilizer, was found to have an effect on the solubility of multi-kinase inhibitors such as nintedanib, axitinib, or pazopanib that outweighed the additive effect. As shown in Figure 1, multi-kinase inhibitors such as nintedanib, axitinib, or pazopanib could be dissolved in this cyclic oligosaccharide system by effectively trapping them in the central cavity of the cyclic oligosaccharide. While cyclic oligosaccharides such as 2-hydroxypropyl-β-cyclodextrin alone can dissolve multi-kinase inhibitors such as nintedanib, axitinib, or pazopanib to desired concentrations, the cyclic oligosaccharide-multi-kinase inhibitor complex can still dissociate and precipitate the multi-kinase inhibitor during long-term storage. Furthermore, surprisingly, the emulsion systems described herein have been shown to demonstrate similar or superior efficacy and / or pharmacokinetic properties (e.g., in various tissues) compared to solution formulations (e.g., administered three or more times a day), even with less frequent administration (e.g., twice a day).
[0045] To further improve stability, in some embodiments, multikinase inhibitors such as nintedanib, axitinib, or pazopanib can form a complex with a lipophilic carrier system such as a castor oil lipophilic carrier, and one or more surfactants such as polysorbate 80 and polyoxyl-35 castor oil, so that the multikinase inhibitor dissolves effectively at the interface of the oil droplets of the lipophilic carrier system to form a stable formulation. In some embodiments, the solubility and stability of the multikinase inhibitor formulation can be further significantly improved when the oil droplet size is about 200 nm or less. However, the concentration of surfactants in lipophilic carrier systems such as castor oil alone, including surfactants such as polysorbate 80 and / or polyoxyl-35 castor oil, which is necessary to dissolve nintedanib, axitinib, or pazopanib to the desired concentration for topical intraocular administration, may irritate the human eye. By using low concentrations of castor oil, polysorbate 80, or polyoxyl-35 castor oil emulsions or nanoemulsions, optionally combined with cyclic oligosaccharides, a synergistic effect can be achieved to improve the overall solubility of nintedanib, axitinib, or pazopanib, thereby achieving the desired solubility, formulation stability, and sufficient shelf life.

[0086] Example 1: Stability of Emulsion Formulation Solution A and emulsion B were prepared and their stability assessed. Solution A: 0.2% nintedanib in a solution system containing 10% 2-hydroxypropyl-β-cyclodextrin. Emulsion B: 0.5% nintedanib in an emulsion system containing 5% 2-hydroxypropyl-β-cyclodextrin, castor oil, polysorbate 80, and polyoxyl-35 castor oil. Stability data under heated conditions (40°C, 50°C, and 60°C) can be used to estimate and predict long-term storage at room temperature. As shown in Table 2, the multi-kinase inhibitor remained stable when stored in emulsion B at 40°C, 50°C, and 60°C, indicating that this formulation system can maintain a shelf life of 2 years or more at room temperature. A typical desirable shelf life at room temperature for topical ophthalmic solutions is 2 years.

[0088] Example 2 Synergistic effect on the solubility of nintedanib in an emulsion system of castor oil, polysorbate 80, polyoxyl-35 castor oil, and 2-hydroxypropyl-β-cyclodextrin.
[0089] (Table 3) Maximum solubility of CBT-001 (nintedanib free base) in solvent TIFF0007880912000005.tif134166
[0090] According to the FDA's Industry Drug Stability Guidelines, storing a drug under heated (high-temperature) conditions can predict its long-term storage stability. Stability data under heated conditions can be used to estimate and predict the long-term storage stability of drug products when stored under recommended storage conditions (ideally room temperature).
[0091] The maximum solubility of nintedanib in 10% 2-hydroxypropyl-β-cyclodextrin was approximately 0.2%. This 0.2% nintedanib in 10% 2-hydroxypropyl-β-cyclodextrin was demonstrated to be stable at room temperature for approximately 5 months, after which it did not meet the acceptable stability specification (90% recovery). Under heated storage conditions (40°C), it was unstable on day 4. The recovery rate of nintedanib fell to less than 90% on day 4 and less than 70% on day 7. This indicates that 0.2% nintedanib in this 10% 2-hydroxypropyl-β-cyclodextrin solution may have stability issues when stored for 1-2 years.
[0092] The concentration and stability of nintedanib in the formulation system were improved using a 5% 2-hydroxypropyl-β-cyclodextrin and nanoemulsion system. 0.5% nintedanib in the 5% 2-hydroxypropyl-β-cyclodextrin and nanoemulsion system was demonstrated to be stable when stored at 40°C, 50°C, and 60°C. This indicates that the 5% 2-hydroxypropyl-β-cyclodextrin and nanoemulsion system had a synergistic effect on the stability of nintedanib in the nanoemulsion formulation system.
[0093] Table 3 lists the maximum solubility of nintedanib in each solvent. The theoretically maximum possible solubility of nintedanib in a mixture can be estimated by assuming that nintedanib is dissolved in each solvent and then combining the components to create a mixture of all components. The theoretically maximum possible solubility of nintedanib in the mixture calculated in this way is 2.91 mg / g. Surprisingly, an improved nintedanib solubility of 7.9 mg / g was obtained in a formulation system of 10% 2-hydroxypropyl-β-cyclodextrin, castor oil, 1% polysorbate 80, and 2% polyoxyl-35 castor oil nanoemulsion. This indicates that 10% 2-hydroxypropyl-β-cyclodextrin and the nanoemulsion of castor oil, 1% polysorbate 80, and 2% polyoxyl-35 castor oil had a synergistic effect on the solubility of nintedanib.
[0094] Example 3 The solubilizers for nintedanib were investigated according to the following procedure: 1. 1. Tare measurement of 1.5 mL Eppendorf tubes 2. Add nintedanib and record the weight. 3. Add a solubilizer and record the weight. 4. Add water with pH 5 (except for F3 and F4) and record the weight. 5. Mix with Beadbeater for 120 seconds. 6. Place in a rotary mixer overnight at ambient temperature. 7.0.2 μm filtration with SPIN-X centrifugal filter 8. pH measurement of the filtrate 9. Assay the filtrate using CBT-001 standard solution.
[0095] Despite many of the solubilizers investigated having similar structural properties (see, for example, Tables 4 and 5), the significantly different results obtained for each solubilizer were a surprising finding. The discovery that solubilizers such as castor oil and polysorbate 80 (see, for example, Table 3) exhibited high solubilization performance for nintedanib was particularly remarkable.

[0097] (Table 5) Solubilities of nintedanib in various solubilizers TIFF0007880912000007.tif69166
[0098] Based on the results of the solubilizing agents, various emulsion systems were identified for investigation. Surprisingly, an emulsion system combining castor oil, polysorbate 80, and polyoxyl-35 castor oil was found to suitably solubilize nintedanib. As shown in Table 6, one emulsion system was surprisingly able to dissolve nintedanib up to approximately 3–5 mg / ml, which is far above the previously calculated theoretical upper limit of solubility of nintedanib in this combination (see Table 3).
[0099] (Table 6) Solubleness of nintedanib in typical emulsion systems TIFF0007880912000008.tif36166
[0100] Example 4 We identified emulsion systems for developing formulations of nintedanib and other multi-kinase inhibitors with similar physicochemical properties.
[0101] Phase separation occurs when oil and water are mixed and left for a period of time; this is a common phenomenon. Formulations that have undergone phase separation are unsuitable for use as certain ophthalmic formulations, such as eye drops. Regarding the potential use of nintedanib and other multi-kinase inhibitors with similar physicochemical properties in the development of ophthalmic formulations, the physical stability and homogeneity of various emulsion systems were investigated. As shown in Table 7, some emulsion systems exhibited phase stability, while others, despite having components with similar properties, were unstable after 3 days, a surprising finding. The reason why some systems are stable while others are unstable remains unclear.
[0102] The physical stability of the emulsion system was investigated using the following procedure: 1. Adjust the pH of 100 mL of water to 5. Tare weight measurement of 2.15 mL tubes 3. Add the ingredients and record the weight. 4. QS with water 5. Mix by vortexing for 1 minute. 6. Mix with high shear until a uniform emulsion is formed. 7. Record the appearance and pH. 8. Dispense each preparation into three 1.5 mL tubes. 9. Store at -20°C, 2-8°C, and 40°C for 3 days. 10. Remove from storage and allow to equilibrate at room temperature. 11. Record the exterior 12. Take only the vehicle, which is a homogeneous single-phase emulsion, and transfer it to a centrifuge. Centrifuge at 13.13K RPM for 10 minutes. 14. Record the exterior 15. pH measurement of a homogeneous single-phase emulsion vehicle

[0104] Furthermore, we selected emulsion-based F20 as a base system for further formulation development.
[0105] Example 5 In this example, it was determined that a cyclodextrin-based solubilizer system, when mixed with a selected castor oil, polysorbate 80, and polyoxyl-35 castor oil-based emulsion system, is compatible and does not cause crash-out or phase separation. Furthermore, emulsion formulations containing HP-β-CD, castor oil, polysorbate 80, and polyoxyl-35 castor oil were found to achieve superior stability compared to solution formulations. While not bound by any particular theory, it is thought that the interaction between the drug in the complex and all of its components resulted in this superiority over single-component formulations. This remarkable finding was determined by extensive, comprehensive, and sophisticated experiments in which many components were sequentially investigated to select the final combination. Superior compositions were determined after several tests. For example, emulsion C showed very good stability for several months at high temperatures (>40°C), indicating that this formulation would have good stability during long-term storage at room temperature. These results were surprising because the solution formulation had been found to be unstable under the same conditions, and the emulsion formulation, which was investigated earlier, had also been found to be not very stable. As shown in Table 8, after one month at 40°C, only slightly more than half of the nintedanib remained in the solution formulation, while almost all of the nintedanib in emulsion C remained even after six months under the same conditions. Table 8 also surprisingly showed that emulsion C kept nintedanib stable for at least three months even at higher temperatures of 50°C and 60°C. These results were surprising because the solution formulation had been found to be unstable under the same conditions, and after four weeks at 40°C, only slightly more than half of the nintedanib remained in the solution formulation, while all of the nintedanib in emulsion C remained even after six months under the same conditions (Table 8). Similar emulsion systems also demonstrated the potential for long-term stability under room temperature storage conditions, keeping axitinib, another MKI class compound, stable at 40°C, 50°C, and 60°C for at least three months (Table 9).
[0106] Method for developing emulsion formulations The initial development involved designing, preparing, and testing multiple emulsion compositions to evaluate drug solubilization, droplet size, and the physical stability of heated emulsions (size change or aggregation). Each test composition contained basic components such as APIs (e.g., nintedanib), oils, surfactants, solubilizers, emulsifiers, lubricants, isotonic agents, and water. Two to three compositions were selected from the initial work, modified as needed, and evaluated for viscosity, osmotic pressure, and the physical stability of the emulsion. One exemplary composition was selected and further evaluated after meeting predefined requirements.
[0107] A pilot-scale manufacturing process was developed to produce prototype formulations in batch sizes of 0.1–1 L. The manufacturing process included (1) dissolving the API in a primary emulsion using a high-shear mixer, (2) reducing the droplet size to the desired size using a microfluidizer, (3) passing the nanoemulsion through a 0.2 micron filter, and (4) filling the nanoemulsion into sterile eye drop bottles (multi-dose containers without preservatives or MDPF and LDPE unit-dose containers) in a biosafety hood. Batches of the prototype formulation (approximately 250 mL) were prepared at four different strengths (0, 0.05%, 0.2%, and 0.5%). Using aseptic methods, the prototype formulation batches were loaded into 5.5 mL Aptar dropper bottles (3 mL / bottle) or LDPE unit-dose containers (0.3 mL / unit).
[0108] The formulations were tested for pH, appearance (visual and microscopic), osmotic pressure, viscosity, droplet size, API concentration, and impurities for each batch strength. These test results were used as the initial value (T=0) for the stability test. Prototype formulations were placed in stability chambers set at various temperatures for various durations at each batch strength. Stability tests for appearance (visual and microscopic), particulate matter (number), droplet size, drug concentration, impurities / degraded product, molar osmotic pressure concentration, and pH were performed at selected points in time.

Seal the vial with a rubber septum and press to seal. 4. Store two vials of each formulation at 2-8°C, 25°C, 40°C, 50°C, and 60°C. 5. Observe the PPT for one week.
[0110] The final concentrations of CBT-001 (nintedanib) and excipients in the formulations were determined for each of the following formulations: Solution A: 0.2% nintedanib in a solution system containing 10% 2-hydroxypropyl-β-cyclodextrin. Emulsion C: 0.2% nintedanib in an emulsion system containing 10% 2-hydroxypropyl-β-cyclodextrin, castor oil, polysorbate 80, and polyoxyl-35 castor oil.

[0112] In addition to nintedanib, another multikinase inhibitor, axitinib, was investigated and showed remarkably good safety for 3 months at high temperatures in a similar emulsion (Table 9). This experiment demonstrated that multikinase inhibitors with similar physical and chemical properties, such as nintedanib and axitinib, can be formulated as specific, similar emulsion formulations for long-term storage.

[0114] Example 6 In a rabbit model of corneal neovascularization (CNV), emulsion formulations were superior to solution formulations used at the same intensity in terms of efficacy and ophthalmic pharmacokinetic profile, although the safety profiles of the emulsion and solution formulations were similar. The solution formulation used in this study has been shown to be safe and effective in human clinical trials.
[0115] Research Overview This study evaluated the efficacy of emulsion and solution formulations in inhibiting hyperemia and neovascularization in a rabbit model of corneal sutures, starting 7 days after topical intraocular BID (twice daily) administration of 0.2% nintedanib emulsion, 0.05% axitinib emulsion, and 0.1% pazopanib emulsion, or TID (three times daily) administration of 0.2% nintedanib solution and vehicle emulsion. The solutions were those described in Example 5. The emulsions were very similar to emulsion C in Example 5. Furthermore, systemic and intraocular pharmacokinetics and intraocular tolerance were evaluated in these animals.
[0116] All tested formulations were well-tolerated both orally and systemically. While the frequency of administration to rabbits was lower for the 0.2% nintedanib emulsion twice daily (BID) compared to the 0.2% nintedanib solution three times daily (TID), the 0.2% nintedanib emulsion BID surprisingly showed efficacy equal to or better than the 0.2% nintedanib solution TID, as shown in Figure 2. On day 10, the efficacy of the emulsion and solution was similar. On day 12, the emulsion was statistically significantly more effective than the solution (p=0.0025).
[0117] The intraocular pharmacokinetic profile shows that the emulsion has a higher C max The AUC and other metrics indicated that more drug could be delivered to the target tissues of the conjunctiva and cornea (Table 10). Further analysis of the concentration / IC50 ratio over time showed that the emulsion may have more effective inhibition of the target VEGFR2, as a ratio >10 would result in near-complete inhibition of the target (Table 11). This demonstrated that the 0.2% nintedanib emulsion was superior to the 0.2% nintedanib solution in delivering more drug to the ocular surface, resulting in higher efficacy and a longer duration of action.

[0120] Example 7 The effectiveness of the surfactants PEG40 stearate and polyoxyl-35 castor oil in emulsion systems was investigated. The compositions investigated are shown in Table 12.
[0121] (Table 12) Composition of Formulations F70 and F72 TIFF0007880912000014.tif42128
[0122] Formulations F70 and F72 (Table 12) were prepared and investigated as follows. Adjust the pH of 1100 mL of water to pH 2.0 using 1N HCl. Labeled 2.15 mL conical tubes. 3. Tare weight measurement of conical tubes 4. Add water and record the weight. 5. Vortex to make a clear solution. 6. Add Tween 80 and polyoxyl-35 castor oil or PEG40 stealth, and record the weight. 7. Add castor oil and record the weight. 8.1 min vortex 9. Achieve a clear or homogeneous solution by high shear mixing. 10. Add API 11. Place the cone tube in an ice bath. 12.30 minutes high shear mixing 13. After 30 minutes, centrifuge to settle the insoluble API at the bottom of the tube. 14. Take 50 μL from the top of the emulsion and test the droplet size using LLS. If the wavelength is greater than 15,200 nm, continue with high shear mixing and repeat the test. 16. Record the final droplet size. 17. pH measurement 18. If the pH is less than 6, adjust the pH to 6 using 1N NaOH. If the pH is between 6 and 8, no adjustment is necessary. 19.0. Filtration using a 0.2 μm syringe filter 20. Measure the pH and particle size of the filtrate. 21. Assay using CBT-001 (nintedanib) standard solution
[0123] The results of this experiment are shown in Table 13. Since the concentration of nintedanib was higher in formulation F70 than in formulation F72, the combination of polyoxyl-35 castor oil and polysorbate 80 is considered to be a superior surfactant system for emulsifying castor oil and dissolving nintedanib compared to the combination of PEG40 stearate and polysorbate 80.
