Abstract
Description
The present invention relates to a novel pharmaceutical use of delgocitinib, 3-[(3S,4R)-3-methyl-6-(7H-pyrrolo[2,3-d]pyrimidin-4-yl)-1,6-diazaspiro[3,4]octan-l-yl]-3-oxopropanenitrile. In another aspect, the present invention relates to the treatment of cutaneous lupus erythematosus. In yet another aspect, the present invention relates to a novel topical pharmaceutical formulation comprising delgocitinib. BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION Lupus erythematosus is an inflammatory autoimmune disease that can affect only the skin (cutaneous lupus erythematosus, CLE) but can also involve severe systemic organ involvement (systemic lupus erythematosus, SLE). CLE can be acute, subacute, or chronic. Discoid lupus erythematosus (DLE) is the most common form of chronic CLE, accounting for 80% of all cases. Discoid lupus erythematosus (DLE) is an autoimmune disease that affects the skin with localized, scaly, erythematous lesions. Over time, these lesions can cause scarring, atrophy, depigmentation, and hair loss. DLE lesions typically vary in size, ranging from a few millimeters to 15 centimeters in diameter, and are primarily found in areas exposed to UV radiation, such as the Ref. 326689 head and neck, and to a lesser extent the trunk and limbs. Physical appearance affects the quality of life of patients with LDE and is associated with a higher risk of depression and unemployment. LED is classified as localized (only lesions above the neck) or generalized (lesions both above and below the neck), the localized form being much more common. Currently, there is no cure for LDE, and no treatments have been approved for this condition. Current and usual care treatments are used off-label and have limited effect. First-line treatment recommendations include sun avoidance, UV protection, and potent topical corticosteroids. Several JAK inhibitors are in clinical development or are already on the market. Ruxolitinib, the first JAK1 and JAK2 inhibitor approved by the FDA, is an oral medication approved in several countries / regions for the treatment of patients with myelofibrosis. Tofacitinib is currently approved in the US as an oral medication for the treatment of rheumatoid arthritis and is currently in development for the treatment of psoriasis and atopic dermatitis. Patent WO2011 / 013785 describes nitrogen-containing spirocyclic compounds and their pharmaceutical uses. It states that the compounds are JAK inhibitors useful for the prevention or treatment of, for example, autoimmune diseases, allergic diseases, psoriasis, rheumatoid arthritis, and atopic dermatitis. Patent EP 2813228 Al describes the pharmaceutical use of a JAK inhibitor, and more specifically a pharmaceutical composition for the treatment of skin diseases such as senile xerosis, asteatosis, eczema and contact dermatitis. fr / ozLn / ίζηζ / Β / γι Consequently, there is an unmet medical need for a new treatment for cutaneous lupus erythematosus that is highly effective in combination with an attractive safety profile. Currently there is an ointment formulation, which is a paraffin-based formulation containing Delgocitinib in suspended solid form. Surprisingly, a stable cream formulation has been obtained with Delgocitinib dissolved in the aqueous phase.

The RCLASI skin lesion activity and damage sign scores apply only to the targeted lesions. The scores and the sum of the individual signs will provide a quantitative assessment of the treatment effect. A high RCLASI score indicates more severe disease. In addition, a comprehensive RCLASI assessment will be performed at baseline to describe the overall disease burden of cutaneous lupus erythematosus (CLE) in the trial population. The total skin disease activity score is defined as the sum of the erythema, scaling / hyperkeratosis, and edema / infiltration scores: Erythema: 0 = Absent; 1 = Pink, faint; 2 = Red; 3 = Dark red, violet / purple / crusted / hemorrhagic. Scaling / hyperkeratosis: 0 = Absent; 1 = Circumscribed adherent scaling / follicular plugging; Verrucous hyperkeratosis. Edema / infiltration: 0 = Absent; 1 = Slight, simply palpable; 2 = Palpable and visible. The total skin disease damage score is defined as the sum of the depigmentation and scarring / atrophy scores: Dispigmentation: 0 = Absent; 1a = Hypopigmentation; 1b = Hyperpigmentation; 2 = Hypo and hyperpigmentation. Scarring / atrophy: 0 = Absent; 1 = Initial scarring; 2 = Firm / atrophic / severe vermicular scarring. Patient Global Assessment of Disease Severity (PaGA) The PaGA is a self-assessment of subjects' perception of the severity of the disease. The subjects will assess the severity of the disease for each target lesion using the PaGA. The assessment will be performed using the 5-point scale: = Normal; 1 = Almost normal; 2 = Mild; 3 = Moderate; 4 = Severe. Dermatology Life Quality Index (DLQI) The DLQI is a validated questionnaire with content specifically designed for people with dermatological conditions. It consists of 10 items that assess the respondent's perception of the impact of their skin condition on various aspects of their quality of life during the past week, including symptoms and feelings related to dermatology, daily activities, leisure, work or school, personal relationships, and treatment. Each item is scored on a 4-point Likert scale (0 = "not at all relevant," 1 = "a little," 2 = "a lot," 3 = "very much"). The total score is the sum of the 10 items (0 to 30); a high score indicates poor quality of life. fr / ozLn / Lznz / E / Yii Product in research phase (IP-1) Ingredient Pharmaceutical product (mg / g) Vehicle (mg / g) Pharmaceutical substance the compound with formula (I) 20 - Excipients Liquid paraffin 100 100 Cetostearyl alcohol 72 72 Macrogol cetostearyl ether 18 18 Benzyl alcohol 10 10 Citric acid monohydrate 1 0.59 Sodium citrate 1 0.57 Disodium edetate 1.3 1.3 Hydrochloric acid 4.99 - Hydroxybutylanisole 0.2 0.2 Purified water up to 1 g up to 1 g Product in research phase (IP-2) fr / ozLn / Lznz / E / Yii Ingredient Pharmaceutical product (mg / g) Vehicle (mg / g) Pharmaceutical substance the compound with formula (I) 20 - Excipients Paraffin liquid 100 100 Cetostearyl alcohol 72 72 Macrogol cetostearyl ether 18 18 Benzyl alcohol 10 10 Citric acid monohydrate 1 0.59 Sodium citrate dihydrate - 0.57 Disodium edetate 0.6 0.6 Hydrochloric acid 3M 17.7 — Hydroxybutylanisole 0.2 0.2 Purified water up to 1 g up to 1 g CLAUSES
