[0001] This application claims the benefit of priority of U.S. Provisional Application No. 63 / 637,337, filed April 22, 2024; U.S. Provisional Application No. 63 / 640,771 , filed April 30, 2024; U.S. Provisional Application No. 63 / 641 ,890, filed May 2, 2024; U.S. Provisional Application No. 63 / 641 ,908, filed May 2, 2024; U.S. Provisional Application No. 63 / 691 ,572, filed September 6, 2024; U.S. Provisional Application No. 63 / 707,311 , filed October 15, 2024; U.S. Provisional Application No. 63 / 709,014, filed October 18, 2024; U.S. Provisional Application No. 63 / 767,686, filed March 6, 2025; and U.S. Provisional Application No. 63 / 767,812, filed March 6, 2025. The contents of each of these applications are herein incorporated by reference in their entirety.
[0002] The present disclosure describes methods of treating depressive disorders and cognitive impairment, including the efficacy of 9-[4- (cyclohexyloxy)phenyl]-7-methyl-3,4-dihydropyrazino[2, 1 -c][1 ,2,4]thiadiazine 2,2- dioxide (“COMPOUND A”) in treating major depressive disorder (“MDD”) by administering about 1 mg to about 3 mg of COMPOUND A to a patient in need thereof. Surprisingly, in studies evaluating the efficacy of COMPOUND A in treating MDD, the inventors discovered that in addition to being effective in treating MDD, the administration of COMPOUND A was also effective in treating treatment-resistant depression (“TRD”), a difficult to treat depressive disorder. Even more surprising, the inventors also discovered that administration of COMPOUND A was also effective in improving cognition in patients, irrespective of MDD or TRD diagnosis.
[0003] Also surprisingly, the inventors further discovered that administration of COMPOUND A was not associated with a substantial increase in side effects. Accordingly, the present disclosure also describes methods of administering COMPOUND A to a patient, with the administration of the COMPOUND A not causing the patient to experience a substantial increase in seizures. Also accordingly, the present disclosure describes methods of administering COMPOUND A to a patient, with the administration of the COMPOUND A not causing a substantial increase in the patient’s body weight. Also accordingly, thepresent disclosure describes methods of administering COMPOUND A to a patient, with the administration of the COMPOUND A not causing the patient to experience a substantial increase in a psychotomimetic and / or a dissociative event.
[0004] Disclosed herein are methods of treating MDD in a patient in need thereof, comprising administering to the patient about 1 mg to about 3 mg of COMPOUND A, once daily (such as, e.g., about 1 mg QD or about 3 mg QD). Also disclosed herein are pharmaceutical compositions for use in the once-daily treatment of major depressive disorder and uses of COMPOUND A in the preparation of the same.
[0005] Also disclosed herein are methods of treating treatment-resistant depression (“TRD”) in a patient in need thereof, comprising administering to the patient about 1 mg to about 3 mg of 9-[4-(cyclohexyloxy)phenyl]-7-methyl-3,4- dihydropyrazino[2,1-c][1 ,2,4]thiadiazine 2,2-dioxide (“COMPOUND A”) once daily (such as, e.g., about 1 mg QD or about 3 mg QD). Also disclosed herein are pharmaceutical compositions for use in the once-daily treatment of treatment- resistant depression and uses of COMPOUND A in the preparation of the same.
[0006] Also disclosed herein are methods of treating cognitive impairment and / or improving cognition in a patient in need thereof, comprising administering to the patient about 1 mg to about 3 mg of 9-[4-(cyclohexyloxy)phenyl]-7-methyl-3,4-dihydropyrazino[2,1-c][1 ,2,4]thiadiazine 2,2-dioxide (“COMPOUND A”), once daily (such as, e.g., about 1 mg QD or about 3 mg QD). Also disclosed herein are pharmaceutical compositions for use in the once-daily treatment of cognitive impairment and / or improving cognition and uses of COMPOUND A in the preparation of the same.
[0007] MDD is characterized by a pervasive depressed mood, decreased energy, and / or loss of interest or pleasure (anhedonia) in almost all activities in discrete episodes of at least 2 weeks duration involving clear-cut changes in affect, and neurovegetative functions and interepisode remissions or decreases of symptom seventy. Exemplary but non limiting diagnostic criteria for MDD are five or more symptoms having been present during the same two-week period and representing a change from previous functioning; at least one of the symptoms is either (1 )depressed mood or (2) loss of interest or pleasure. Symptoms include: depressed mood most of the day, nearly every day, as indicated by either subjective report (e.g., feels sad, empty, hopeless) or observations made by others (e.g., appears tearful); markedly diminished interest or pleasure in all, or almost all, activities most of the day, nearly every day (as indicated by either subjective account or observation); significant weight loss when not dieting or weight gain (e.g., a change of more than 5% of body weight in a month), or decrease or increase in appetite nearly every day; insomnia or hypersomnia nearly every day; psychomotor agitation or retardation nearly every day (observable by others, not merely subjective feelings of restlessness or being slowed down); fatigue or loss of energy nearly every day; feelings of worthlessness or excessive or inappropriate guilt (which may be delusional) nearly every day (not merely self-reproach or guilt about being sick); diminished ability to think or concentrate, or indecisiveness, nearly every day (either by their subjective account or as observed by others); and recurrent thoughts of death (not just fear of dying), recurrent suicidal ideation without a specific plan, or a suicide attempt or a specific plan for committing suicide (DSM-5-TR, The American Psychiatric Association’s fifth edition of the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders). The symptoms cause clinically significant distress or impairment in social, occupational, or other important areas of functioning to a patient.
[0008] Although MDD has been identified as the second leading cause of years lived with disability, a large number of patients treated for depression, including MDD, do not show sufficient clinical improvement with currently available antidepressant drugs. Thus, there is a significant unmet medical need for novel treatments with improved efficacy against the symptoms of MDD.
[0009] TRD is a subset of MDD. A subset of difficult to treat patients with MDD are considered to have TRD.
[0010] Patients with TRD do not respond to traditional and first-line antidepressant pharmacotherapy (Voineskos D., Daskalakis Z.J., Blumberger D.M. Management of Treatment-Resistant Depression: Challenges and Strategies. Neuropsychiatr Dis Treat. 2020 Jan 21 ; 16:221 -234). Approximately one third of patients fail to get full relief from currently available antidepressants, and thus are considered to have TRD (McIntyre, R.S. et al. Treatment-resistant depression:definition, prevalence, detection, management, and investigational interventions. World Psychiatry. 2023; 22:394-412). TRD definitions vary, and several approaches have been taken to define, categorize, and quantify degrees of treatment resistance (Sackeim, H.A. et al. The assessment of resistance to antidepressant treatment: Rationale for the Antidepressant Treatment History Form: Short Form (ATHF-SF). Journal of Psychiatric Research. 2019; 113:125-136).
[0011] Many definitions of TRD have been proposed. Generally, TRD refers to nonresponse or improvement in symptoms after adequate dose and duration of two or more prior antidepressants.
[0012] Although MDD has been identified as the second leading cause of years lived with disability, a large number of patients treated for depression, including MDD, do not show sufficient clinical improvement with currently available antidepressant drugs. Patients with TRD are notoriously difficult to treat. Thus, there is a significant unmet medical need for novel treatments with improved efficacy against the symptoms of TRD.
[0013] Cognitive impairment includes a decline in cognitive functions or cognitive domains, including, but not limited to, working memory, attention, verbal learning and memory, visual learning and memory, and reasoning and problem solving (e.g., executive function, processing speed, and / or social cognition).
[0014] Cognitive impairment can be associated with disorders including, but not limited to, major depressive disorder, schizophrenia, bipolar disorder, post- traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), Parkinson’s disease, Alzheimer’s disease, autism, Rett syndrome, and Fragile X syndrome.
[0015] Alpha-amino-3-hydroxy-5-methyl-4-isoxazolepropionic acid (“AMPA”) receptors are ubiquitously expressed throughout the central nervous system (“CNS”) and play a central role in a multitude of higher neurophysiological processes. Therefore, AMPA receptors are attractive as potential therapeutic targets for rapid onset of antidepressant activity in patients not responding to classical antidepressants.
[0016] AMPA receptor modulation has been a long-running and frustrating target for antidepressant drugs (NeuroPerspective, Spring 2024, No. 340-342). Safety and tolerability were concerns with earlier AM PA modulators (Witkin J.M., Lippa A. Neuropsychopharmacology. 2024 49(1 ), 339-340). Previously reported AMPA receptor modulators were reported to have poor safety profiles and poor safety margins against seizures (Suzuki, A., Hara, H., Kimura, H. Role of the AMPA receptor in antidepressant effects of ketamine and potential of AMPA receptor potentiators as a novel antidepressant. Neuropharmacology. 2023, 222, 109308). In the past 30 years, despite ongoing research, no AMPA receptor modulators have demonstrated relevant clinical effects (Kadriu B. et al. Positive AMPA receptor modulation in the treatment of neuropsychiatric disorders: A long and winding road. Drug Discovery Today. 2021 , 26(12), 2816-2838). During this period, at least 16 drug candidates were studied for various neuropsychiatric disorders, including depression, but none progressed beyond Phase 2 clinical trials (Ibid.).
[0017] 9-[4-(Cyclohexyloxy)phenyl]-7-methyl-3,4-dihydropyrazino[2, 1 - c][1 ,2,4]thiadiazine 2,2-dioxide (“COMPOUND A” or “CMPD A”) is a potent and selective positive allosteric modulator (PAM) of alpha-amino-3-hydroxy-5-methyl-4- isoxazole-propionic acid (AMPA) receptors.

Cognition Associated with Schizophrenia
[0170] Schizophrenia is a severe mental disorder that affects approximately 1 % of the population, with lifetime prevalence estimates ranging from 5.6 to 11.9 per 1000 persons. Schizophrenia is characterized by psychosis, cognitive impairments, and / or social and motivational deficits. For example, schizophrenia can be characterized by positive symptoms (e.g., hallucinations or delusions), negative symptoms (e.g., anhedonia, avolition, blunted affect, reduced spontaneous speech, and social withdrawal), and / or cognitive impairment associated with schizophrenia. Cognitive symptoms and impairment associated with schizophrenia affect a wide range of domains, including, but not limited to, attention, working memory, and / or executive functions. While positive symptoms of schizophrenia tend to relapse and remit, in today's environment, negative cognitive symptoms of schizophrenia are often chronic and impact social functioning for those afflicted, reflecting limited current knowledge on the course of symptom progression and available treatments.
