[0002] The present application belongs to the field of biological medicine, and relates to a kind of combination of formula (I) compound for treating hepatitis B and other drugs for treating hepatitis B and administration method, and the purposes of the compound and the drug combination in the preparation of treating hepatitis B drugs. BACKGROUND

[0003] Hepatitis B virus (HBV, simply hepatitis B) infection is a serious public health burden worldwide, with more than 250 million people chronically infected. About one-fourth of patients may develop severe liver disease, such as cirrhosis and hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). It is estimated that there are currently more than 80 million cases of chronic HBV infection in China, and the diagnosis rate and treatment rate of CHB in China are only about 22% and 15%, respectively. In addition, studies have shown that even if hepatitis B patients receive hepatitis B virus antiviral treatment, a portion of the patients with chronic hepatitis B are still in a state of low viral load, and patients in this state for a long time still have certain risks, including drug resistance, virological breakthrough, and even progression to cirrhosis and liver cancer, even if they insist on taking antiviral drugs every day.

[0004] At present, there is no specific drug for treating hepatitis B worldwide, and the first-line drugs for hepatitis B treatment in China are mainly nucleoside drugs, interferon and traditional Chinese medicine, but there are problems such as long medication period and inability to cure, so it is imperative to develop new types of anti-hepatitis B drugs.

[0107] Formulation composition

[0108] Preparation method:

[0109] ① Preparation of granulation liquid

[0110] The prescription amount of sodium lauryl sulfate is added to purified water, and stirred until completely dissolved to prepare a granulation liquid.

[0111] ②Mixing granulation

[0112] The raw material drug, microcrystalline cellulose, lactose, croscarmellose sodium (internal), and hydroxypropyl methyl cellulose are mixed in a high-shear wet granulator. The granulation liquid is then added to perform wet granulation.

[0113] The wet granules are transferred out of the mixing granulator.

[0115] The wet granules are transferred into an oven for drying, with the drying temperature set to 60°C.

[0116] ④Granulation

[0117] The dried granules are sieved and granulated.

[0118] ⑤Total mixing

[0119] The amounts of croscarmellose sodium (external) and sodium stearyl fumarate are adjusted according to the weight of the granulated particles. The dry granules and croscarmellose sodium (external) are first mixed, and then sodium stearyl fumarate is added and mixed evenly.

[0120] ⑥Tabletting

[0121] Tablet formulation of the compound of formula (I) 25 mg

[0127] Preparation of a placebo

[0128] The placebo is consistent with the components and preparation method of the 25 mg tablet of the compound of formula (I) in Example 3, except that it does not contain the active ingredient compound of formula (I) and hydroxypropyl methyl cellulose and sodium stearyl fumarate.

[0129] The corresponding placebo for 50 mg and 100 mg in this application is prepared by scaling up the above method by the same proportion.

[0130] Example 6 Trial of the composition of the compound of formula (I) in the treatment of low viral load chronic hepatitis B (CHB) treated with hepatitis B antiviral drugs

[0131] 6.1 Experimental process

[0132] The effectiveness and safety of different doses of the composition of the compound of formula (I) in the treatment of low viral load (LLV) CHB patients were evaluated. The patients were 18-70 years old, had been taking nucleoside analogues (entecavir [ETV], tenofovir disoproxil fumarate [TDF] or tenofovir alafenamide fumarate [TAF]) for 1-3 years and were still receiving treatment; a total of 90 subjects were enrolled in the trial, with 30 subjects in each of the high-dose group, the low-dose group and the placebo group. The high-dose group was administered 100 mg of the compound of formula (I) tablets twice a day orally, and the low-dose group was administered 50 mg of the compound of formula (I) tablets twice a day orally. The administration period was 24 weeks.

[0133] During the treatment period, the patients continued to take the original nucleoside analogue drugs taken before enrollment. The patients were stratified at the time of enrollment, and the distribution of patients taking the three nucleosides was as evenly distributed as possible among the groups: there were 10, 12 and 13 subjects in the low-dose group, the high-dose group and the placebo group, respectively, who were treated with entecavir [ETV] for chronic hepatitis B. There were 11, 9 and 7 subjects in the low-dose group, the high-dose group and the placebo group, respectively, who were treated with tenofovir disoproxil fumarate [TDF]. There were 8, 9 and 10 subjects in the low-dose group, the high-dose group and the placebo group, respectively, who were treated with tenofovir alafenamide fumarate [TAF]. The dosage and frequency of administration were in accordance with the requirements of the nucleoside drug instructions. During this period, one subject in the low-dose group did not receive treatment, and 29 subjects were included in the statistical analysis.

[0134] After the end of administration, the percentage of subjects with serum HBV DNA (hepatitis B virus deoxyribonucleic acid) below the lower limit of the quantitative detection value (HBV DNA < 20 IU / mL) was investigated; the percentage of subjects with serum HBV pgRNA (hepatitis B virus pregenomic RNA) below the lower limit of the quantitative detection value after the end of administration was investigated, as well as multiple other indicators; and AEs (adverse events), SAEs (serious adverse events), vital signs, physical examinations, lead electrocardiograms, laboratory test indicators, etc. were investigated.

[0135] 6.2 Experimental results

[0136] The percentage of subjects with serum HBV DNA below the lower limit of the quantitative detection value (HBV DNA < 20 IU / mL) at the end of administration was compared between groups for subjects using ETV, TDF or TAF as background treatment, and the P values were all greater than 0.05, indicating that the difference was not statistically significant.

[0137] In terms of effectiveness, the proportion of patients with HBV DNA below the detection limit in the 50 mg and 100 mg dose groups of the compound of formula (I) reached 84.0% and 81.5% respectively after 24 weeks of combined nucleos(t)ide analogue therapy, far exceeding the inhibition rate of the nucleos(t)ide analogue monotherapy control group (32.1%) (see Figure 1).

[0138] The compound of formula (I) composition has a rapid onset of action after administration and treatment, with a maximum inhibitory effect on HBV DNA (about 1 log10IU / ml) after 2 weeks of treatment, and stable efficacy without significant fluctuations at a later stage. The pgRNA reduction amplitude in the compound of formula (I) administration group also reached 1.5 log10IU / ml, and more than 50% of patients had pgRNA turned negative (9.5% in the placebo group) (see Figure 2). pgRNA is directly transcribed from HBV cccDNA and can indirectly reflect the transcriptional activity of cccDNA, and this result further verifies the effect of the compound of formula (I) composition on inhibiting HBV replication and potentially depleting cccDNA.

[0139] In terms of safety, no drug-related serious adverse events occurred in any of the groups, and no new safety signals were observed, indicating good overall safety.

[0140] Finally, it should be noted that the above examples are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of the present application, and are not limiting; the technical solutions described in the above examples can still be modified, or some or all of the technical features can be replaced by equivalents; and these modifications or replacements do not cause the essence of the corresponding technical solution to deviate from the scope of the technical solutions of the embodiments of the present application.
