[0001] Tablets comprising bempedoic acid or bempedoic acid and ezetimibe
[0002] Field of the invention
[0003] The present invention relates to tablets comprising bempedoic acid, tablets comprising bempedoic acid and ezetimibe and processes for preparation thereof. Furthermore, the present invention relates to granules comprising bempedoic acid, granules comprising bempedoic acid and ezetimibe, tablets comprising such granules and processes for preparing such granules.
[0004] Background of the invention
[0005] Bempedoic acid, chemical name 8-hydroxy-2,2,14,14-tetramethylpentadecanedioic acid, was first disclosed in WO 2004 / 067489 Al. It is a dual acting AMP -activated protein kinase (AMPK) activator and ATP citrate lyase (ACL) inhibitor.
[0006] Bempedoic acid polymorph form was described first in IPCOM000254434D. Furthermore bempedoic polymorph forms, bempedoic acid salts and their polymorph forms and processes for preparing bempedoic acid are described in EP 3666750 Al, WO 2020 / 141419 Al, CN 111559961 A, WO 2020 / 257571 Al, WO 2020 / 257573 Al, WO 2021 / 064166A and WO 2021 / 110929A.
[0007] A product comprising bempedoic acid is approved in the form of film-coated tablets and marketed under the brand name Nilemdo®, and it is indicated for the treatment of hypercholesterolaemia and mixed dyslipidaemia and the prevention and treatment of cardiovascular diseases. Nilemdo ® film- coated tablets contain 180 mg of bempedoic acid.
[0008] Furthermore, a product comprising bempedoic acid and ezetimibe is approved in the form of film- coated tablets and marketed under the brand name Nustendi® and it is indicated for the treatment of hypercholesterolaemia and mixed dyslipidaemia and the prevention and treatment of cardiovascular diseases. Nustendi® film-coated tablets contain 180 mg of bempedoic acid and 10 mg of ezetimibe.
[0009] Ezetimibe, chemical name l-(4-fluorophenyl)-3(R)-[3-(4-fluorophenyl)-3(S)-hydroxypropyl]4(S)-(4- hydroxyphenyl)-2-azetidinone is a potent cholesterol absorption inhibitor.
[0010] Nilemdo® tablets comprise bempedoic acid granules, and Nustendi ® tablets comprise separate bempedoic acid granules and ezetimibe granules. Bempedoic acid granules of both products comprise a lubricant silicon dioxide. Nilemdo® tablets and Nustendi ® tablets are described in WO 2018 / 218147 Al.
[0011] In addition, WO 2018 / 218147 Al describes bempedoic acid granules free of lubricant. However, such granules were difficult to prepare due to sticking behavior. Further bempedoic acid granules are described in IN 202011045799, IN 202121033685, WO 2023 / 036980 Al, IN 202141043941, WO2023217694.
[0012] Furthermore, tablets comprising bempedoic acid and ezetimibe are described in IN 202141043941, wherein tablets comprise granules comprising both active ingredients together.IN 202111003944 describes tablets comprising bempedoic acid or bempedoic acid and ezetimibe in combination with statins, wherein tablets comprise separate bempedoic acid granules, ezetimibe granules and statin granules or tablets comprise granules comprising all three active ingredients together.
[0013] There is a need for alternative and improved tablets comprising bempedoic acid or bempedoic acid and ezetimibe, particularly for tablets that can be manufactured by simpler and less time-consuming process.
[0014] In addition, there is a need for alternative and improved granules comprising bempedoic acid or bempedoic acid and ezetimibe, that can be used in mono product or combination products.

Thus, according to one aspect of the invention, the granules and extragranular phases as described herein may be present in a pharmaceutical composition, in particular a tablet formulation, in uncompressed (unmolded) or compressed (molded) form. According to one aspect, the indications of the amounts in the items and embodiments disclosed herein are thus corresponding to the amounts of ingredients / granules / extragranular phases as used in the formulation for a tablet.
[0212] Detailed description of the invention
[0213] The present invention is related to a tablet comprising a combination of bempedoic acid and ezetimibe.
[0214] In some aspects of the present invention, the tablet comprises a coating, for example a coating comprising one or more of polyvinyl alcohol (PVA), glycerol monocaprylocaprate type 1, sodium lauryl sulfate, titanium dioxide and talc.
[0215] Preferably, the tablet of the present invention comprises 180 mg of bempedoic acid and 10 mg ezetimibe.
[0216] The present invention is further related to granules comprising bempedoic acid and ezetimibe. The present invention is further related to bempedoic acid granules and a tablet comprising bempedoic acid granules.
[0217] Preferably, the tablet of the present invention comprises 180 mg of bempedoic acid.
[0218] Preferably, tablets of the present invention are used for the treatment of hypercholesterolaemia and mixed dyslipidaemia and the prevention and treatment of cardiovascular diseases, as e.g. disclosed in WO2018 / 218147A1. The respective disclosure ofWO2018 / 218147Al is explicitly incorporated herein by reference.
[0219] Any known polymorphic form of bempedoic acid or its salt may be used in the tablets of the present invention. Preferably, crystalline bempedoic acid, more preferably bempedoic acid polymorphic form described in IPCOM000254434D or EP 3666750 Al is used in the tablets of the present invention.
[0220] Bempedoic acid may be prepared by any known process, for example processes described in WO 2004 / 067489 Al, WO 2020 / 141419 Al, WO 2020 / 257571 Al.
[0221] Any known polymorphic form of ezetimibe may be used in the tablets of the present invention, for example anhydrous form of ezetimibe Form A, hydrate form of ezetimibe Form B. Preferably, anhydrous form of ezetimibe Form A is used in the tablets of the present invention.
[0222] Nustendi® tablets comprise separate bempedoic acid granules and ezetimibe granules. Consequently, a manufacturing process includes two granulating processes.
[0223] As used herein and in the appended claims, singular articles such as "a," "an" and "the" in the context of describing elements or features (such e.g. diluent, disintegrant, lubricant or other ingredients / excipients) are to be construed to cover both the singular and the plural, unless otherwise indicated herein or logically contradicted by context. Recitation of ranges of values including the upper and lower bounds of the range, unless otherwise indicated herein, and each separate value is incorporated into the specification as if it were individually recited herein. All methods described herein can be performed in any suitable order unless otherwise indicated herein or logically contradicted by context.
[0224] Surprisingly, it has been found that ezetimibe can be included directly to extragranular phase of the tablet. Consequently, a manufacturing process includes only one granulating process and is simpler and less time-consuming in comparison to a process for preparing Nustendi® tablets. In principle, any known granulate of bempedoic acid may be included in the tablets of the present invention comprising bempedoic acid granules and ezetimibe in an extragranular phase.
