PHARMACEUTICAL COMPOSITIONSCROSS-REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATIONS

[0001] This application claims the benefit of United States Provisional Application No. 63 / 567,099, filed March 19, 2024, and United States Provisional Application No. 63 / 677,056, filed July 30, 2024. The entirety of each aforementioned application is incorporated by reference herein in its entirety.TECHNICAL FIELD

[0002] The disclosure pertains to pharmaceutical compositions containing an indazole FGFR inhibitor that is useful in treating cancer and developmental disorders, as well as methods of using such pharmaceutical compositions in treating cancer.BACKGROUND

[0003] Kinase inhibitors have been used to block the activity of kinases and thereby treat cancer (e.g., by inhibiting mitotic processes). These kinase inhibitors are often small molecules that target kinases to block the development, growth or spread of cancer.

[0004] Although various inhibitors of kinases are known, however, there remains a need for selective inhibitors to be used for the treatment of cancers, which offer one or more advantages over current compounds. Those advantages include: improved activity and / or efficacy; beneficial kinase selectivity profile according to the respective therapeutic need; improved side effect profile, such as fewer undesired side effects, lower intensity of side effects, or reduced (cyto)toxicity; improved targeting of mutant receptors in diseased cells; improved physicochemical properties, such as solubility / stability in water, body fluids, and / or pharmaceutical formulations; improved pharmacokinetic properties, allowing e.g. for dose reduction or an easier dosing scheme; easier drug substance manufacturing, e.g., by shorter synthetic routes or easier purification.

[0005] The compound of Formula (I), 5-[(lR)-l-(3,5-dichloro-4-pyridyl)ethoxy]-3- [6-(2-methylsulfonyl-2,6-diazaspiro[3.3]heptan-6-yl)-3-pyridyl]-lH-indazole, and its preparation, are described in International Patent Application No. PCT / US2021 / 065679 (WO2022 / 147246), the entirety of which is incorporated by reference herein.

[0006] Pharmaceutically acceptable salts of Formula (I), including the besylate salt, as well as polymorphic forms of those salts, are described in International Patent Application No. PCT / US2023 / 069334 (W02024 / 006883), the entirety of which is incorporated by reference herein.

[0007] Therapeutic use of the compound of Formula (I) will depend in part on being able to achieve adequate bioavailability of the compound. The Developability Classification System (DCS) is an industry proven model designed to guide formulation. See Butler, J.M. and J.B. Dressman, The developability classification system: application of biopharmaceutics concepts to formulation development. J Pharm Sci, 2010. 99(12): p. 4940-54. This classification model is based upon the molecule’s dose / solubility ratio and the molecule’s permeability. DCS distinguishes poorly soluble molecules in three (3) scenarios: dissolution rate limited (DCS Ila), solubility limited (DCS lib), and solubility and permeability limited (DCS IV). Furthermore, a solubility-limited absorbable dose (SLAD), which informs the cutoff between DCS Ila and lib - may be calculated as shown in Equation 1.Equation 1: SLAD (mg)=500 x An x S where,S = API solubility in FaSSIF (or FeSSIF) expressed in mg / mL An = Absorption number which is equal to Peff ifPeff is >1 and equal to 1 if Peff is <1Peff = Predicted permeability in humans expressed in 10-4 cm / s

[0008] The DCS category and SLAD for Formula (I) were calculated in biorelevant media. A projected upper human dose of 50 mg was used for the calculation. Formula (I)should be considered a DCS IV (solubility and permeability limited absorption depending on dose with a SLAD of 30 mg in FeSSIF and 5 mg in FaSSIF).

[0009] Thus, there is a need for pharmaceutical compositions to enhance the bioavailability of the compound of Formula (I).SUMMARY

[0010] The disclosure provides pharmaceutical compositions for oral administration that provide adequate bioavailability of the compound of Formula (I) to facilitate its use in treating cancer.

[0011] The disclosure also provides methods of treating cancer in a subject in need thereof, comprising orally administering to the subject a pharmaceutical composition comprising:(a) a compound of Formula (I):Formula (I), or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof; and a pharmaceutically acceptable excipient.BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

[0197] The compound of Formula (I) besylate salt used in the Examples below is the polymorphic Form I, unless stated otherwise. See W02024 / 006883 at

[0126] ,

[0821] -

[0823] (Form I of Compound 2).Example 1 - Tablet Development

[0198] An excipient compatibility screen was conducted to support tablet development. This excipient compatibility study selected fifteen excipients across a variety of common tablet excipients including diluents, binders, disintegrants, glidants, lubricants, surfactants, and coating agents. Formula (I) besylate salt and excipient were blended at a 1 to 1 weight ratio. Each binary mixture was placed in a glass vial and blended to facilitate intimate contact.

[0199] The experimental conditions were as follows. Two sets of samples were prepared for both 40° C / 75% RH and 25° C / 60% RH storage conditions. All vials were sealed with a cap due to hydrolysis related instability discovered in the previous truncatedexcipient compatibility. The 40° C / 75% RH storage condition was the frontline storage condition and was tested at all three sampling intervals of 2, 4 and 8-weeks. The 25° C / 60% RH storage condition was reserve samples to be tested only if the frontline condition showed instability. Testing was conducted by UPLC using the method DUR-QCT-1751-TM.01. The method was modified to utilize a 2 pL injection volume.Table 1.1 Excipient Compatibility Samples - Binary Mixtures of Formula (I) besylate lot 006BJF062 with listed excipients

[0200] Generally, the screened excipients were stable under the 40° C / 75% RH sealed glass vial storage conditions. The area percent of Formula (I) besylate remained > 97% over the 8-week interval. Both Opadry I (HPMC based) and Opadry II (PVA based) did show degradation with Formula (I) area percent reaching 96.6% and 96.9%, respectively. Degradants were apparent at RRT values of 0.97 and 1.20 at the 8-week interval. At the 0.97 relative retention time the area percent was 0.88% and 0.56% for each coating. A small degradant was apparent RRT of 1.20 as well with area percents of 0.15% and 0.11%. This incompatibility should be monitored but this testing was conducted at a worst case 1 : 1 ratio while practical use levels would be much lower.

[0201] An initial direct compression formulation was prepared have the following composition:

[0202] A compression profile of this formulation showed that the formulation has more than sufficient compressibility with a linear trend through 6.9 kN of force and yielding a hardness value of 14.5 ± 0.5 kp (N = 6). However, a portion of compressed tablets showed picking. See Fig. 1.

[0203] To address the picking issue, a modified formulation (A0020964-02) in which the magnesium stearate lubricant level was increased to 1.0% was prepared:

[0204] Compression profiles for the 0.5% and 1.0% magnesium stearate (MgSt) formulations showed that both formulations have more than sufficient compressibility. The proposed 1.0% MgSt formulation has additional compressibility beyond 5.8 kN of force where tablet hardness averaged 13.8 ± 0.4 kp (N=6).

[0205] Approximately 100 tablets were compressed with the modified 1% lubricant formulation. These tablets were free from defects. The tooling used was 11 / 32 in round yielding tablets of 272.9 ± 6.2 mg. The tablet dimensions were 8.73 mm diameter and 4.83 ± 0.02 mm thickness (N=10). The aspect ratio (width / thickness) was 1.81.

[0206] Since these tablets were free of defects, a selection of tablets with hardness values approximately 6-7 kp were tested for friability, disintegration, and dissolution. The friability was conducted by USP testing (1216) and 15 tablets underwent 100 revolutions in a drop tester resulting a weight loss of 0.0090 g or 0.22% which is well below the 1% acceptable weight loss. Disintegration testing was conducted in deionized water at 37° C according to USP testing (701) with six tablets. The disintegration was very rapid all six tablets had undergone disintegration within 12 seconds.

[0207] Preliminary dissolution testing was conducted using UPLC. The method was developed to support the blended capsule drug product. Three tablets were tested in 500 mL of dissolution media (0.05% CTAB in 0.01 N HC1). A USP apparatus 1, baskets at 100 rpms, was utilized with 500 mL of dissolution in each vessel. The dissolution results are shown in Fig. 2.

[0208] The dissolution is initially rapid as expected for a quickly disintegrating tablet, however, the extent of release was only 79%. Various potential reasons for this limited release were investigated.

[0209] It was discovered that when the formulation blend containing 1% magnesium stearate was loaded into a gelatin capsule, the capsule gave a significantly higher extent of release versus the tableted blend. At 60 minutes the difference was 9.4% greater for capsules and after the infinite spin interval it was 10.1% greater. See Fig. 3.

[0210] The difference in extent of release between the tablet and the blend was investigated by DSC. One hypothesis is that the formulation and / or compression of the tablets may sponsor the formation of a salt or polymorph with reduced solubility. The recoveries in dissolution media show poorer recovery with higher levels of magnesium stearate, which suggests that contributing factors also may include tablet compression and / or salt exchange of besylate for a stearate.

[0211] DSC was used to investigate the drug substance within blends or tablets. The DSC of the Formula (I) besylate API shows several small endothermic transitions at onset temperatures of 26.2° C, 56.8° C and 68.3° C prior to the major melt at 189.7° C.Thermograms of the first direct compression formulation with 0.5% magnesium stearate is provided as the blend in Fig. 4 and as the tablet in Fig. 5. Briefly, onset temperatures of early endothermic transitions at 32.7° C, 75.0° C and 141.1° C can be assigned to tablet excipients. The endotherm at 183.8 - 185.6° C is likely primarily associated with melting of Formula (I) besylate. A melt transition at 165.8 - 166.2° C is not readily assigned to excipients or drug substance. This may be indicative of another drug substance form, whether a polymorph or salt.

[0212] The next set of thermograms are from the formulation with 1.0% magnesium stearate. As discussed previously, the increased magnesium stearate solved the picking problem that occurred with the initial direct compression tablet formulation containing only 0.5% magnesium stearate. Thermograms of the blend and tablet from the 1.0% magnesium stearate formulation are given in Figs. 6 and 7, respectively. The endotherm of interest at 166° C is nearly absent in the blend. In the tablet thermogram, however, a melt endotherm at 164.8° C is prevalent. Immediately after the melt endotherm at 165 - 166° C, a recrystallization exotherm occurs with a peak maxima of 177.4° C. This exothermic event occurs in both the 0.5% and 1.0% magnesium stearate formulations. An exotherm for Formula (I) besylate drug substance does not occur until after the melt onset at around 190° C and at a much higher temperature of 204° C. The formulations in this temperature region, have a series of melt endotherms without any evidence of recrystallization. All these thermal events occur prior to the decomposition temperature at 288° C.

[0213] A third tablet formulation utilizing sodium stearyl fumarate (SSF) was prepared to investigate the lubricant. This formulation is given in Table 1.2. The compression properties of the new formulation were similar to the previous 1.0% MgSt formulation.Table 1.2 20 mg Direct Compression Formulation (A0020964-03) with lubricant change from magnesium stearate to sodium stearyl fumarate

[0214] The dissolution of the 1.0% SSF tablets were evaluated with the 1.0% MgSt formulation in Fig. 8. The rate and extent of dissolution was faster for the SSF formulation. Specifically, the extent of dissolution was 90% at 60 minutes and 92% after the infinite spin. This was approximately 7% higher at each interval than the reference 1% magnesium stearate tablets. Additionally, when the new formulation blend was loaded into capsules, the capsules exhibited the same dissolution profile as the compressed tablets made from that blend.

[0215] The 1% SSF tablet formulation improves dissolution performance but does not achieve the target 95% release. Further investigation of excipients was conducted by preparing a formulation without lubricant or disintegrant. A 10% drug load formulation blend of Formula (I) was prepared without lubricant or disintegrant. The lubricant had accumulated some evidence that it maybe impacting the dissolution. A blend without lubricant could be evaluated in a capsule. The rapid tablet disintegration rate suggested this excipient maybe unnecessary. The initial blend A00200964-04 is given in Table 1.3. A portion of this blend then had sodium stearyl fumarate (SSF) lubricant added to form A0020964-04A provided in Table 1.4.Table 1.3 10% Drug Load Formulation Blend (A0020964-04) w / o lubricant or disintegrant.Table 1.4 10% Drug Load Formulation Blend (A0020964-04A) w / lubricant (SSF) but w / o disintegrant.

[0216] The two blends with and without lubricant were filled into size 1 gelatin capsules at a dose of 20 mg. As a comparator size 4 gelatin capsules were filled with neat Formula (I) besylate salt. Dissolution was conducted in 900 mL of 0.05% CTAB in 0.01 N HC1 dissolution media. Dissolution apparatus II was used at 75 rpm stirring with an additional 15 -minute sampling interval conducted as an infinite spin at 200 rpms, 75 -minute time point. The dissolution is provided in Fig. 9. Both blends showed similar dissolution profiles with or without lubricant. At the 60-minute interval drug release from the formulation w / o lubricant was 87% and w / lubricant was 89%. After the infinite spin interval (75i) the w / o lubricant release was 90% and w / lubricant was 91% which was low for capsule filled blends. Neat Formula (I) besylate provided poor dissolution performance likely due to slow wetting of the drug substance from the capsule.

[0217] The extent of release was below expectation for blend filled in a capsule versus the extent of release shown for previous formulations. Triplicate filled capsules at a dose of 20 mg prepared from the lubricant containing blend A0020964-04A were assayed. The results are given in Table 1.5.Table 1.5 Assay of 20 mg Formula (I) Besylate Dose Formulation Blend (A0020964- 04A) w / lubricant (SSF) filled into size 1 gelatin capsules (N=3)

[0218] It is suspected that the low assay results occur due to water uptake of the drug substance. The drug is known to be hygroscopic absorbing up to 4.6% water at 50% relative humidity. The loss of drying for this blend conducted at 105° C was 1.90%. Although the loss of drying was conducted on the formulation in which Formula (I) Besylate is only 10% weight fraction. Potentially water uptake is a contributor to the low assay results. Formulation preparation includes screening Formula (I) Besylate through a 30-mesh screen prior to weighing it into the formulation blend with the other prescreened excipients. This step may introduce moisture into the drug substance. A Karl Fisher water content of a 50 mg sample of Formula (I) Besylate, lot DAV1000371-07322-A, was measured along with the same drug substance screened through a 30-mesh screen. The certificate of analysis gives a water content of 0.3% while our analysis gives 0.7% water content for the standard, maintained in a sealed glass vial desiccated. The screened drug substance had a moisture content of 2.1%. The moisture content only compensates, however, for approximately one- third of the lower assay result.

[0219] Because dissolution performance appears to be independent of the presence of the selected lubricants, the blend was completed with the addition of crospovidone disintegrant. Only limited compression was conducted. The formulation with SSF lubricant but without disintegrant (A020964-04A) compressed with 3.3 kN of force yielded tablets of 6.9 kp hardness. The formulation with added disintegrant, 3.0% crospovidone, required 3.9 kN to yield tablets with a hardness of 8.2. These hardness values were considered acceptable for a 260 mg round tablet.Table 1.6 10% Drug Load Formulation Blend (A0020964-04B) including lubricant and disintegrant (3.0% crospovidone)Table 1.7 Disintegration of Formula (I) Besylate 20 mg tablets. Tablets from the A00200964-04A w / o disintegrant and A0020964-04B w / disintegrant are included.

[0220] Dissolution of three tablets from the A00200964-04A w / o disintegrant and A0020964-04B w / disintegrant was conducted. The dissolution profiles are given in Fig. 10. As can be observed these tablets with or without disintegrant have improved dissolution with final release of 94% for the tablet’s w / o disintegrant and 93% for the tablet’s w / disintegrant. The presence of disintegrant had no effect on release but the compression process may have improved extent of release.

[0221] Feasibility Batch

[0222] A feasibility batch was prepared with another lot of Formula (I) besylate. This drug substance was prepared and isolated initially as the free base and then converted to the besylate salt in subsequent processing step. The previous batches were converted directly into besylate salt form without isolation from the mother liquor.

[0223] The feasibility batch for the 10 and 30 mg doses was prepared from a common blend given in Table 1.8. A correction factor of 0.740 was used for Formula (I) besylate, lot 005NPM017. The feasibility was prepared to conform with the informal stability formulation.Table 1.8 Formula (I) Besylate Feasibility Blend Preparation

[0224] Tableting of the 10 mg dose is given in Table 1.9. The initial two runs were above target tablet weight, so the fill was adjusted down and only the runs 3-5 which achieved target weight are given. A hardness of 9.1 kp was selected as the target value (Run 5) final column. All additional testing was conducted with tablets prepared at these compression parameters.Table 1.9 10 mg Formula (I) Besylate Dose Tableting Properties

[0225] The 30 mg dose tableting properties is given in Table 1.10. A hardness of11.1 kp was selected as the target value (Run 4) last column. All additional testing was conducted with tablets prepared at these compression parameters.Table 1.10 30 mg Formula (I) Besylate Dose Tableting Properties

[0226] Both 10 mg and 30 mg dose Formula (I) tablets were tested for friability Table 1.11 and disintegration Table 1.12. The friability weight loss was 0.4% for both doses which is acceptable. The disintegration testing for both doses conducted in water at 37° C was fast at only 10 seconds. These values are considered acceptable and are consistent with the informal stability batch A002195.Table 1.11 Feasibility Batch Friability ResultsTable 1.12 30 mg Formula (I) Besylate Dose Tableting Properties

[0227] Dissolution testing of the feasibility tablets was conducted in 900 mL of dissolution media and apparatus II at 75 rpms, as modified for tablet dosage forms. The dissolution profiles are given in Fig. 11. They show a slower second phase of release and at 60 minutes the extent of release is only 75% for the 10 mg tablets and 79% for the 30 mg tablets. This was inconsistent with the dissolution results collected for the informal stability.Pilot Batch - Micronization

[0228] Feasibility batches prepared with drug substance lot 005NPM017 prior to the pilot batch resulted in poor dissolution. It was determined that the drug substance from lot 005NPM017 had a larger particle size distribution than the original drug substance used ininitial tablet development. Therefore, micronization was implemented as part of the drug substance manufacturing process to improve the dissolution profile.

[0229] Approximately 221 grams of drug substance lot 005NPM017 were screened through a 20-mesh sieve, then milled on a Sturtevant 4” Micronizer. The material was fed into the mill using a vibratory feeder at approximately 6 grams / minute. A feed air pressure of 60 psig and a grind air pressure of 40 psig were used. An overall yield of 192 g (-87%) was achieved. The particle size results for the un-micronized and micronized materials are provided in Table 1.13 below.Table 1.13. Formula (I) besylate Drug Substance Particle Size SummaryBlending

[0230] Half the required lactose was added to the bin and blended for 1 minute to coat the walls of the equipment with an inert material prior to addition of the drug substance. Then the Formula (I) besylate drug substance and remaining lactose were added to the bin and blended for 5 minutes at 15 RPM. The entire blend was discharged and screened through a 30-mesh sieve. Avicel® PH-102 MCC, crospovidone, and Cab-O-Sil were screened through a 30-mesh sieve. Half the screened blend was loaded back into the bin, with the screened MCC, crospovidone, and Cab-O-Sil sandwiched in the middle, and the other half of screened blend loaded on top. The bin was blended for 5 minutes at 15 RPM. The entire blend was discharged and screened through a 30-mesh sieve. The lubricant sodium stearyl fumarate was screened through a 30-mesh sieve with a portion of the blend. Half the screened blend was loaded back into the bin, with the lubricant sandwiched in the middle, and the other half of screened blend loaded on top. All materials were blended for an additional 5minutes at 15 rpm. The final blend was increased to 10 minutes for the subsequent pilot batch and for the proposed GMP process to improve lubrication of the blend.

[0231] A sample of the blend was evaluated for powder flow properties. The results are presented in Table 1.14 below. The compressibility index and Hausner ratio are indicative of a powder with borderline passable / poor flow properties. Though not ideal, compression was not adversely affected.Table 1.14. Formula (I) Besylate Tablet, Powder Flow Properties of Common BlendCompression

[0232] The blend was divided for each dosage prior to initiating compression. 450 grams of the common blend was allocated to manufacture the 10 mg tablets. The remainder of the blend, -1,350 g, was used to manufacture the 30 mg tablets.

[0233] Tablets were compressed across a range of forces on a Piccola rotary tablet press and evaluated for weight, hardness, thickness, friability, and disintegration. The averaged results are presented in Table 1.15 and Table 1.16.Table 1.15. Formula (I) besylate Tablet, 10 mg Tablet Hardness Profile1NT = Not Tested.Table 1.16. Formula (I) besylate Tablet, 30 mg Tablet Hardness Profile1NT = Not Tested.

[0234] Friability of core tablets is important to ensure that the tablets can withstand the attrition experienced during subsequent manufacturing steps. Traditionally, a friability result below 1.0% is considered acceptable for a film coating process. The results in Table 1.15 and Table 1.16 show an acceptable friability level is achieved across the entire proposed hardness range.

[0235] Low, target, and high hardness tablets for both were evaluated for dissolution using the conditions summarized in Table 1.17. The 10 mg tablets compressed at 14 kp were not evaluated for dissolution, since they were similar to the composite tablets prepared at a target of 13 kp for the pilot lot. The 30 mg tablets compressed at 12 kp were not evaluated for dissolution since the tablets disintegrated extremely fast.Table 1.17. Formula (I) besylate Tablet Dissolution Parameters

[0236] For the 10 mg tablet, the cores compressed at the low and target hardness (8 kp and 13 kp) have acceptable dissolution profiles. However, the tablets compressed at 18 kp demonstrate slower dissolution than the other tablets, with an average dissolution of 82% at 45 minutes. This does not meet the proposed finished product specification of Q = 80 at 45 minutes (85% release), reference A0023337. The results presented in Fig. 12 show the dissolution curve for each hardness. Based on dissolution data for the low and target hardness tablets and individual tablet hardness results, the proposed hardness target and range for the 10 mg tablet is 11 kp ± 4 kp.

[0237] For the 30 mg tablet, all cores compressed within the hardness range of 17 kp and 25 kp have acceptable dissolution profiles. All core tablets fall within the proposed finished product specification of Q = 80 at 45 minutes (85% release). The results presented in Fig. 13 show an acceptable rate of dissolution is achieved across the entire proposed hardness range. Based on these results the proposed hardness target and range for the for the 30 mg tablet is 20 kp ± 6 kp.

[0238] After tablets were generated at various hardnesses for dissolution evaluation, tablets were compressed at the target weight and hardness to generate material for stability. The compression parameters for the pilot batch were based on the formulation development compression results, the hardness profile study, and prior knowledge of similar products manufactured using the Piccola tablet press. At the start of compression, the weight and hardness were adjusted to their respective targets. Upon acceptable set-up, the compression process was started. See Table 1.18 for actual final compression parameters.Table 1.18. Formula (I) Besylate Tablet Compression ParametersCoating

[0239] The tablet cores were film-coated with an Opadry® II 85F 18422 WhitePVA-based coating system in a Vector perforated coating pan to achieve a uniform finalcoating. The film coating is not designed to offer any functional control on the dosage form in terms of release rate or stability. A coating level of 3.0% with respect to (w.r.t.) tablet core weight was selected and the solids concentration of the coating solution was set at 14.5% based on recommendations from the manufacturer and prior experience with similar nonfunctional coatings. For the second pilot, the coating level was increased to 3.7% w.r.t. the coated tablet weight to address slight color variation observed in the first pilot batch.

[0240] The equipment used was Vector HI-COATER® with a 16” Pan. Pan 1 was placebo only to confirm process parameters. For both Pans 2 and 3, there were not enough active tablets to meet the minimum required batch size for the 16” pan. Therefore, embossed placebo tablets were used to q.s. the batch up to 1.5 kg. The embossed tablets were removed from the batch at completion of the coating process.Table 1.19. Formula (I) Besylate Tablet, Coating Parameters13.0% (w.r.t. tablet core weight) was used for the pilot but increased to 3.7% (w.r.t. coated tablet weight) to address uneven color variation observed in Pan 2.

[0241] The process of separating active tablets from placebo tablets resulted in a slightly undercoated batch for Pan 2. The coating process was ended when a sample of 10 tablets met weight gain. However, when 100 tablets were weighed to confirm, weight gain was not quite met (2.8% instead of 3.0%). This resulted in slight color variation among the tablets. Therefore, the coat weight gain target was increased for the second pilot and GMP. Additionally, for GMP production, a whole milligram target weight (e.g., 5 mg) will be used for ease of operations.

[0242] After coating was completed, the tablets were evaluated for visual acceptability, and no erosion was observed.Evaluation of Final Composite Tablets

[0243] A composite sample of both dosage tablets was submitted to the lab for testing.Initial (T = 0) results for the non-GMP pilot batch are summarized in Table 1.20 and Table 1.21. The dissolution profile of the final coated tablet is presented in Figure 10.Table 1.20. Formula (I) Besylate Tablet, 10 mg Initial (T = 0) resultsTable 1.21. Formula (I) Besylate Tablet, 30 mg Initial (T = 0) results

[0244] The dissolution of the coated tablet compares well to the dissolution of the Formula (I) besylate capsule. The data for each pilot lot is presented in Fig. 14.

[0245] In the course of the tablet development, the effect of API micronization on tablet dissolution was investigated. The particle size distribution of lot 005NPM017 was generally larger than the previously used drug substance, which resulted in poor dissolution of the drug product (as demonstrated in A0022507-A). Therefore, particle size reduction (micronization) was implemented and tablets prepared to confirm the effect of micronization on drug product dissolution (A0022507-B). Particle size reduction successfully improved the dissolution, as can be seen in Fig. 15. Therefore, micronization was incorporated into the pilot batch (A0023274).

[0246] Formula (I) free base and Formula (I) besylate salt, were subjected to micronization using a Model 00 Jet-O-Mizer (2"). The micronization parameters are detailed in Table 1.22.Table 1.22 Micronization Parameters (Model 00 Jet-O-Mizer)

[0247] The particle sizes of micronized Formula (I) and unmicronized Formula (I) (for both, base and besylate salt) were analyzed using a Malvern Mastersizer 3000. The particle size distribution results are detailed in Table 1.23.Table 1.23, Particle Size Distribution for Formula (I) free base and Formula (I) Salt

[0248] Kinetic solubility studies on the micronized API were performed at 37 °C at a loading equivalent to 250pg / mL of Formula (I) per mL of bio-relevant media. As shown in Fig. 16, an increase in solubility was observed in all samples relative to the neat Formula (I). The highest sustained solubility was observed in the Micronized Salt API.

[0249] Minitabs of the disclosure containing 5.82% by weight Formula (I) besylate can be made by using standard weighing, screening, blending, compression, and coating techniques. In some embodiments, the batch is blended initially in a Gemco Double Cone Blender (0.5 cu. ft), screened and final blended in the Gemco Double Cone Blender (0.5 cu.ft). The final blend is compressed on a rotary tablet press into Mini-tablets and coated in Fluid bed coater. The coated mini-tablets are screened and blended with talc using Gemco double cone blender (0.5 cu. ft).Example 2 - Capsules

[0250] The drug substance, Formula (I) besylate salt lot 006BJF062, was evaluated for bulk and tapped density. The bulk density was 0.304 g / mL and the tapped density was 0.461 g / mL. The drug substance had poor flow properties, with a compressibility index is 34 with a Hausner ratio of 1.51. A (50:50) blend with drug substance and microcrystalline cellulose, Avicel 102, was developed to increase flow and utilize the Xcelodose to fill capsules. Specifically, size 4 gelatin capsules were filled as 5 and 10 mg doses. The dose was based on the free base form and the purity factor of drug substance lot 006BJF062 which is 0.7477. The fill weight of capsules was set at 10 mg for the 5 mg dose and 20 mg for the 10 mg dose. This drug product pilot batch, lot A0019265-01 5 mg dose and A0019265-02 10 mg dose was placed on stability.Table 2.1 Excipient Blend for Capsule Fill Formulationa free base equivalent

[0251] The drug in capsule formulation included the diluent, Avicel PH-102. An interim seven-day excipient compatibility study was conducted to support this formulation. Blends of Avicel PH102 and Formula (I) besylate were prepared in a glass vial for both the 40° C / 75% RH and 25° C / 60% RH storage conditions. Approximately 200 mg (potency corrected) of DS was placed in each vial with an appropriate amount of Avicel PHI 02 to make an approximate 400 mg fill. The stability study included HPLC assay only on days 0, 1, 3 and 7.

[0252] The 40° C / 75% RH sample was placed uncapped and exposed to the relative humidity. A significant increase in the RRT peak at 0.98 occurs over the 7-day interval, increasing to 0.45% of the total area.

[0253] The reserve 25° C / 60% RH was tightly sealed with a cap as this sample was a reserve sample showed no degradation at a RRT value of 0.98, suggesting that the stability is not related to Avicel PHI 02. This data set is inconclusive as to if temperature or the relative humidity, open or closed vial, is the contributing factor.

[0254] An expanded secondary excipient compatibility study was conducted to address the capsule formulation. The experiment was designed to determine if water or elevated temperature caused the degradation. Two of three samples were stored in closed vial configuration protecting the DS from water. The results indicate that only the open container configuration had a degradant peak at RRT of 0.97 which reached 0.40 area percent at the 7-day interval.Example 3 - Lipid Vehicle-Based Liquid CompositionsSolubility Screening of lot Formula (I) in Lipid Vehicles

[0255] Suspensions of Formula (I) free base were prepared in various lipid vehicles and allowed to mix in temperature-controlled vortex mixers. Sample mixing was performed at 25°C except for certain mixtures with semi-solid vehicles which were mixed at 35°C / 50°C.

[0256] Results of HPLC assays (Table 3.1) indicated that PEG400, Massester E8120, Gelucire 44 / 14, Kolliphor HS15, Kolliphor RH40, Capryol 90, Vit E TPGS and Tween 80 has reasonable solubility (>10mg / g).

[0257] The highest solubility in lipid excipient (Labrasol ALF) is at 41mg / g.

[0258] PXRD of residual solids from samples in Capryol 90, Masester E8120, Lauroglycol FCC, Oleic Acid, Miglyol 812N (MCT) and Olive Oil were consistent with the input API. All residual solids, from the other samples / vehicles, indicated a conversion from input material.Table 3.1 Summary of Solubility Screening of Formula (I) in Lipid VehiclesCompatibility Screening of Formula (I) in Lipid Vehicles

[0259] Ten excipients were selected to conduct the chemical compatibility study at 40 °C for 2 weeks. Formula (I) API (free base) was added to each excipient at 3mg / g to 10 mg / g target drug load and mixed well to solubilize. These compatibility samples were stored at 40°C in oven and assessed for degradation products. API oxidative degradation was expected with lipid excipients, therefore, BHT and a-Tocopherol, two different antioxidants with lipid excipients were evaluated for compatibility. Results for compatibility are presented in the Table 3.2. Massester E8120, Kolliphor HS15, Kolliphor RH40, Capryol 90, Vitamin E TPGS are compatible with Formula (I) API. Gellucire 44 / 14 and Maisine CC showed moderate degradation of Formula (I) API. Significant degradation was observed in Labrasol ALF, PEG400 and Tween 80.Table 3.2 Chemical Compatibility Screening of Formula (I) in Lipid Vehicles for T=2 week at 40°C

[0260] Based on the compatibility results - Masester E8120, Kolliphor HS15, Kolliphor RH40, Gelucire 44 / 14, Caproyl 90, Vitamin E TPGS and Mai sine CC were selected for formulation prototypes. Ascorbyl Palmitate was evaluated as antioxidant to prevent free glycerol degradation. One prototype with Labrasol ALF with Ascorbyl Palmitate was evaluated with the risk-based approach.

[0261] Based on the results from solubility and compatibility study, the following 4 prototypes were proposed to further evaluate and optimize for lipid based drug delivery platform.1) Formula (I) (1.5%): Masester E8120 (58.0%): Kolliphor HS15 (24.0%): Vitamin E TPGS (15.5%): Ascorbyl Palmitate (1.0%);2) Formula (I) (1.5%): Masester E8120 (50.0%): Gelucire 44 / 14 (27.0%): Capryol 90 (20.5%): Ascorbyl Palmitate (1.0%);3) Formula (I) (1.25%): Masester E8120 (50.0%): Kolliphor HS15 (20.0%): Maisine CC (27.75%): Ascorbyl Palmitate (1.0%); and4) Formula (I) (2.5%): Labrasol ALF (53.0%): Kolliphor RH40 (25.5%): Maisine CC (18.0%): Ascorbyl Palmitate (1.0%).

[0262] API was added to previously prepared placebo and homogenized to solubilize the Formula (I) API at 40°C to 45°C using a handheld homogenizer. After mixing for 2-3 hours, undissolved API was observed in each prototype. All prototypes were left in the oven at 40°C overnight and homogenized the next morning for additional 30-45 minutes. Clear solutions were not achieved after mixing and undissolved Formula (I) API particles were observed.

[0263] To solubilize the desired drug load in each of the above prototype, additional formulations (Set 2) were prepared with small change in the composition of each. Also order of addition was changed so that ascorbyl palmitate was added after the API was added and homogenized for 2-3 hours.

[0264] The Set 2 formulations are:1) Formula (I) (1.5%): Masester E8120 (64.0%): Kolliphor HS15 (18.5%): Vitamin E TPGS (15.0%): Ascorbyl Palmitate (1.0%);2) Formula (I) (1.5%): Masester E8120 (55.0%): Gelucire 44 / 14 (24.0%): Capryol 90 (18.5%): Ascorbyl Palmitate (1.0%);3) Formula (I) (1.25%): Masester E8120 (55.0%): Kolliphor HS15 (20.0%): Maisine CC (22.75%): Ascorbyl Palmitate (1.0%); and4) Formula (I) (2.5%): Labrasol ALF (56.0%): Kolliphor RH40 (25.5%): Maisine CC (15.0%): Ascorbyl Palmitate (1.0%).

[0265] Even with the change of formulation composition and order of addition, Formula (I) API solubilization was not achieved. Therefore, the drug load for each prototype was decreased to achieve complete solubilization of API and Kollidon K30 was included at 1% level in each formulation to prevent recrystallization of API from the formulation. Thus, new prototype formulations (Set 3) were prepared:1) Formula (I) (1.25%): Masester E8120 (63.0%): Kolliphor HS15 (18.75%): Vitamin E TPGS (15.0%): Ascorbyl Palmitate (1.0%): Kollidon K30 (1.0%)2) Formula (I) (1.25%): Masester E8120 (54.0%): Gelucire 44 / 14 (24.0%): Capryol90 (18.75%): Ascorbyl Palmitate (1.0%): Kollidon K30 (1.0%)3) Formula (I) (1.0%): Masester E8120 (54.0%): Kolliphor HS15 (20.0%): Maisine CC (23.0%): Ascorbyl Palmitate (1.0%): Kollidon K30 (1.0%)4) Formula (I) (2.0%): Labrasol ALF (55.0%): Kolliphor RH40 (26.0%): Maisine CC (15.0%): Ascorbyl Palmitate (1.0%): Kollidon K30 (1.0%)

[0266] In the Set 3 prototypes, placebo preparations without ascorbyl palmitate were prepared with all respective excipients. Ascorbyl palmitate and Formula (I) API were added in the respective placebo formulation for active formulation preparation and mixed using hand-held homogenizer to solubilize API and ascorbyl palmitate.

[0267] The Set 3 formulations were visually clear solutions at 40 °C. These formulations were evaluated using Pion Fiberoptic dissolution in Bio-Relevant Media along with API. Results for dissolution in biorelevant media are given in Fig. 17 and Fig. 18.

[0268] These Prototype formulations (Set 3) were also evaluated for Assay and degradation product by HPLC analysis. Results for Assay and degradation products are given in Table 3.3.Table 3.3 Lipid Prototype formulation (Set 3) HPLC Analysis Data

[0269] The impurities at RRT 0.94 and 1.13 are also present in the API, and therefore may be process-related impurities and not degradation products. The impurity at RRT 0.98 may be due to presence of free glycerol.

[0270] For all Set 3 prototype formulations, ascorbyl palmitate was added at the end after Formula (I) API was solubilized. Additional formulations (Set 4) were prepared to evaluate order of addition of ascorbyl palmitate prior to API.

[0271] Also, Set 3 Formulation 3 did not have good dispersion in bio-relevant media, therefore Kolliphor HS15 was replaced with Kolliphor RH40 for Set 4 / Set 5 prototypes preparation.

[0272] Prototype formulations preparation Set 4 and Set 5 were duplicate preparations of same composition. Set 5 was prepared after the assay value for Set 4 formulations was determined to be lower than target drug load. Formulation composition for each prototype (set 4 and Set 5) is given below.1) Formula (I) (1.25%): Masester E8120 (63.0%): Kolliphor HS15 (18.75%): Vitamin E TPGS (15.0%): Ascorbyl Palmitate (1.0%): Kollidon K30 (1.0%);2) Formula (I) (1.25%): Masester E8120 (54.0%): Gelucire 44 / 14 (24.0%): Capryol90 (18.75%): Ascorbyl Palmitate (1.0%): Kollidon K30 (1.0%);3) Formula (I) (1.0%): Masester E8120 (54.0%): Kolliphor RH40 (20.0%): Maisine CC (23.0%): Ascorbyl Palmitate (1.0%): Kollidon K30 (1.0%); and4) Formula (I) (2.0%): Labrasol ALF (55.0%): Kolliphor RH40 (26.0%): Maisine CC (15.0%): Ascorbyl Palmitate (1.0%): Kollidon K30 (1.0%)

[0273] Formulations prepared in Set 4 and Set 5 were evaluated with HPLC for Assay and degradation product. Results are presented below in Table 3.4.Table 3.4 Lipid Prototype Formulation (Set 4 and Set 5) HPLC Analysis Data

[0274] Formulation prototypes (Set 5) were evaluated using Pion Fiberoptic dissolution in Bio-Relevant Media along with API. Results for dissolution are provided in Fig. 19 and Fig. 20. As shown in those figures, each Set 5 formulation increases Formula (I) solubility in bio-relevant media by 3 to 5 times relative to the API.

[0275] The Set 5 formulations were further evaluated for stability at 40°C over 2- week time. Results for stability are given in Table 3.5. As shown in the table, each formulations showed increased in degradation product, specifically impurity at RRT 0.98.

[0276] Based on the dissolution in bio-relevant media and stability data for prototype formulations (Set 5), Formulation prototype 1, Prototype 3 and Prototype 4 were suggested for further evaluation for animal PK.Table 3.5 Formula (I) Lipid Formulation Prototypes (Set 5) T=2-week Stability at 40°CExample 5 - Pharmacokinetic Study #1

[0277] The objective of this study was to determine the plasma pharmacokinetic profiles of Formula (I) besylate in male Beagle dogs after oral administration.Study design

[0278] Total of four male Beagle dogs were dosed via a design as shown in Table 5.1. Formula (I) besylate was administered as PO doses (2 mg / kg for POA, 2 mg / kg for POB, 2 mg / kg for POC and 2 mg / kg for POD, 2 mg / kg for POE).Table 5.1: Dosing information* Five groups will share same four animals, after 7 day wash out, the animals of PO group will fasted overnight, then fed one hour before dosing.For capsule and tablets group, Oral with 20 mL water chaser (solid doses).Treatment Compositions:

[0285] Blood samples (1.00 mL) were collected from each animal via peripheral veins. These blood samples were placed into tubes containing K2EDTA, and then centrifuged at 2000 g for 10 minutes at 4°C to produce plasma.

[0286] All samples were stored at -75±15 °C pending analysis.Preparation of standard solutions for LC-MS / MS analysis

[0287] Formula (I) Besylate was prepared in DMSO with vortex at 1 mg / mL as a standard stock solution.

[0288] Calibration standard working solutions were prepared at concentrations of 10, 20, 50, 100, 500, 1000, 5000, 10000 and 20000 ng / mL by serial dilution of the standard stock solution with 50% acetonitrile in water. Quality control working solutions at concentrations of 20, 50, 500, 8000 and 16000 ng / mL were prepared by serial dilution of the standard stock solution with 50% acetonitrile in water. These QC samples were prepared on the day of analysis in the same way as calibration standards.Sample treatment

[0289] 5 pL of each calibration standard working solution (10, 20, 50, 100, 500, 1000, 5000, 10000 and 20000 ng / mL) was added to 50 pL of blank Beagle dog plasma to achieve calibration standards of 1-2000 ng / mL (1, 2, 5, 10, 50, 100, 500, 1000 and 2000 ng / mL) in a total volume of 55 pL. Quality Control (QC) samples at 2 ng / mL (low-1), 5 ng / mL (low-2), 50 ng / mL (mid), 800 ng / mL (high-1) and 1600 ng / mL (high-2) in blankplasma were prepared independently from those used for the calibration curves. These QC samples were prepared on the day of analysis in the same way as calibration standards.

[0290] 55 pL of standards, 55 pL of QC samples or 55 pL of unknown samples (50 pL of plasma sample with 5 pL of 50% acetonitrile in water) were mixed with 200 pL of acetonitrile containing a deuterated (de) internal standard (IS; 50 ng / mL) to precipitate proteins. Then the samples were vortexed for 30 sec. After centrifugation at 4°C, 3900 rpm for 15 min, the supernatant was diluted at a ratio of 1 :2 with water (v / v: 1 / 2). 10 pL of diluted supernatant was injected into the LC-MS / MS system for quantitative analysis.LC-MS / MS conditions

[0291] The LC-MS / MS system consisted of Degasser DGU-20A5R, S, Liquid Chromatograph LC-30AD, Communications Bus Module CBM-20A, Auto Sampler SIL- 30AC, Rack changer II and an AB API 5500 LC / MS / MS instrument (Serial No. EX20351803).

[0292] Chromatographic separation was performed on a Waters Xselect HSS T3 2.5pm (50*2.1 mm) at room temperature. The mobile phase was composed of A: 5% acetonitrile (0.1% formic acid) in water; B: 95% acetonitrile (0.1% formic acid) in water. The flow rate was 0.6 mL / min. The injection volume was 10 pL.

[0293] Positive mode electrospray ionization (ESI) was performed on a Turbo V® ion source to obtain protonated ions of Formula (I) besylate and a deuterated (de) internal standard (IS). A multiple reaction monitoring (MRM) method was selected for quantitative analysis. The optimized transitions were 558.90 / 384.80 Da and 564.93 / 388.00 Da for Formula (I) besylate and IS, respectively.
