Attorney Docket No. 46696-0218WO 1 / 263.WO 1. PCTMETHODS FOR THE ADMINISTRATION OF CRF ANTAGONISTTECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The present disclosure relates to methods of administering 4-(2-chloro-4-methoxy-5- methylphenyl)-A-[(15)-2-cyclopropyl-l-(3-fluoro-4-methylphenyl)ethyl]-5-methyl-7V-prop-2- ynyl-l,3-thiazol-2-amine, or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof, as well as pharmaceutical formulations thereof, to a patient, wherein the patient is being concomitantly administered a strong cytochrome P450 3 A4 (CYP3 A4) inducer.BACKGROUND
[0002] Classic congenital adrenal hyperplasia (CAH) is a disease that includes a group of autosomal recessive disorders that result in an enzyme deficiency that alters the production of adrenal steroids due to 21 -hydroxylase deficiency, a condition that results in little or no cortisol biosynthesis. One clinical manifestation of the absence of cortisol is the lack of feedback inhibition of pituitary adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH) secretion. Increased ACTH levels cause adrenal hyperplasia and the enzyme mutation causes a shunting of cortisol precursor steroids to alternate pathways. Most notably, the shunting of androgens leads to virilization and other developmental complications in females and the overaccumulation of ACTH is associated with the formation of testicular adrenal rest tumors in males. In addition, since the same enzyme (21 -hydroxylase) is used in the pathway for the biosynthesis of the mineralocorticoids, a number of these patients suffer from aldosterone deficiency which can result in dehydration and death due to salt- wasting. For a long time, exogenous corticosteroids have been the standard of care for treating patients with classic CAH. This treatment is used to correct the cortisol deficiency and reduce the excessive ACTH levels and androgen excess. However, the dosage and duration of steroid use required to suppress ACTH are typically well above the normal physiological level used for cortisol replacement alone (as in patients with Addison’s disease). This increased exposure to glucocorticoids can lead to iatrogenic Cushing’s syndrome, increased cardiovascular risk factors, glucose intolerance, reduced growth velocity, and decreased bone mineral density in CAH patients. Corticotropin releasing factor (CRF) is a hypothalamic hormone released directly into the hypophyseal portal vasculature and acts on specific corticotropin releasing factor 1 (CRF i) receptors on corticotropes in the anterior pituitary to stimulate the release of ACTH. Blockade of these receptors has been shown to decrease the release of ACTH in both animals and humans.Attorney Docket No. 46696-0218WO 1 / 263.WO 1. PCT
[0003] Compound A, 4-(2-chloro-4-methoxy-5-methylphenyl)-A-[(lN)-2-cyclopropyl-l-(3- fluoro-4-methylphenyl)ethyl]-5-methyl-A-prop-2-ynyl-l,3-thiazol-2-amine, or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof, (also referred to herein as crinecerfont) is a selective CRFi receptor antagonist that has been developed for the treatment of CAH associated with high ACTH levels and adrenal steroid insufficiency. Compound A, or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof, can be prepared according to the methods described in WO 2021 / 252669 and U.S. Patent Nos. 6,586,456 and 8,314,249, each of which is hereby incorporated by reference in its entirety.
[0004] Crinecerfont is the first new treatment available in 70 years to the classic congenital adrenal hyperplasia (CAH) community that was approved by the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) under the tradename CRENESSITY® in December 2024. Its approval was supported by data from the largest-ever clinical trial program in pediatric and adult patients with classic CAH. The data from the CAHtalyst™ Phase 3 global registrational studies in pediatric and adult patients with classic CAH were published in The New England Journal of Medicine (Sarafoglou, K., et al., New England Journal of Medicine, 391 (6), 493- 503 (Phase 3 trial of crinecerfont in pediatric congenital adrenal hyperplasia) and Auchus, R. J, et al., New England Journal of Medicine, 391 (6), 504-514 (Phase 3 trial of crinecerfont in adult congenital adrenal hyperplasia)). In the CAHtalyst™ pediatric phase 3 trial, crinecerfont was superior to placebo in reducing elevated androstenedione levels in pediatric participants with classic CAH and was also associated with a decrease in the glucocorticoid dose from supraphysiologic to physiologic levels while androstenedione control was maintained. In addition, in the CAHtalyst™ phase 3 trial of adults with classic CAH, the use of crinecerfont resulted in a greater decrease from baseline in the mean daily glucocorticoid dose, including a reduction to the physiologic range, than placebo following evaluation of adrenal androgen levels. In both the pediatric and adult CAHtalyst™ studies, crinecerfont enabled lower steroid doses and decreased androgen levels, which led to the approval of CRENESSITY® by the FDA in December 2024. CRENESSITY® is approved as adjunctive treatment to glucocorticoid replacement to control androgens in adults and pediatric patients 4 years of age and older with classic congenital adrenal hyperplasia (CAH).
[0005] The cytochrome P450 enzyme system (CYP450) is responsible for the biotransformation of certain drugs from active substances to metabolites that can be excreted from the body.
[0006] There are more than 1500 known P450 sequences which are grouped into families and subfamily. The cytochrome P450 gene superfamily is composed of at least 207 genes thatAttorney Docket No. 46696-0218WO 1 / 263.WO 1. PCT have been named based on the evolutionary relationships of the cytochromes P450. For this nomenclature system, the sequences of all of the cytochrome P450 genes are compared, and those cytochromes P450 that share at least 40% identity are defined as a family (designated by CYP followed by a Roman or Arabic numeral, e.g., CYP3), and further divided into subfamilies (designated by a capital letter, e.g., CYP3A), which are comprised of those forms that are at least 55% related by their deduced amino acid sequences. Finally, the gene for each individual form of cytochrome P450 is assigned an Arabic number (e.g., CYP3A4).
[0007] CYP3 A isoenzyme is a member of the cytochrome P450 superfamily which constitutes up to 60% of the total human liver microsomal cytochrome P450 and has been found in alimentary passage of stomach and intestines and livers. CYP3 A has also been found in kidney epithelial cells, jejunal mucosa, and the lungs.
[0008] At least five (5) forms of CYPs are found in the human CYP3 A subfamily, and these forms are at least partially responsible for the metabolism of a number of structurally diverse drugs. In non-induced individuals, CYP3A may constitute 15% of the P450 enzymes in the liver; in enterocytes, members of the CYP3 A subfamily constitute greater than 70% of the CYP-containing enzymes.
[0009] CYP3 A is at least partially responsible for metabolism of drugs including nifedipine, macrofide antibiotics including erythromycin and troleandomycin, cyclosporin, FK506, teffenadine, tamoxifen, lidocaine, midazolam, triazolam, dapsone, diltiazem, lovastatin, quinidine, ethylestradiol, testosterone, and alfentanil. CYP3 A is involved in erythromycin N- demethylation, cyclosporine oxidation, nifedipine oxidation, midazolam hydroxylation, testosterone 6-P-hydroxylation, and cortisol 6-P-hydroxylation. CYP3 A has also been shown to be involved in both bioactivation and detoxication pathways for several carcinogens in vitro.
[0010] When a drug substance being e.g., a CYP3A4 inducer, is administered to a subject, the substance increases the activity of the enzyme CYP3 A4, which means it enhances the enzyme's ability to break down other substances. This can lead to a decrease in the effectiveness of other drug substances that are metabolized by CYP3 A4, as they are cleared from the body more quickly.
[0011] There is a significant, unmet need for methods for treating CAH associated with high ACTH levels and adrenal steroid insufficiency wherein the patient is concomitantly being administered another substance which may interact with a CRFi receptor antagonist, such as a CYP3 A4 inducer. The present disclosure fulfills these and other needs, as evident in reference to the following disclosure.Attorney Docket No. 46696-0218WO 1 / 263.WO 1. PCTSUMMARY

[0031] As used herein, "adjusting administration," "altering administration," "adjusting dosing," or "altering dosing" are all equivalent and mean tapering off, reducing, or increasing the amount of the substance administered to the patient, ceasing to administer the substance to the patient, or substituting a different active agent for the substance.
[0032] As used herein, "treat," "treating," and "treatment" are meant to include alleviating or abrogating a disorder, disease, or condition, or one or more of the symptoms associated with the disorder, disease, or condition; or alleviating or eradicating the cause(s) of the disorder, disease, or condition itself.
[0033] As used herein, "co-administer" and "co-administration" and variants thereof mean the administration of at least two drugs to a patient either subsequently, simultaneously, or consequently proximate in time to one another (e.g., within the same day, or week or period of 30 days, or sufficiently proximate that each of the at least two drugs can be simultaneously detected in the blood plasma). When co-administered, two or more active agents can be coformulated as part of the same composition, or administered as separate formulations. This also may be referred to herein as “concomitant” administration or variants thereof.
[0034] As used herein, “amelioration of the symptoms” of a particular disorder by administration of a particular pharmaceutical composition refers to any lessening, whether permanent or temporary, lasting or transient, that can be attributed to or associated with administration of the composition.
[0035] As used herein, “baseline” refers to the period of time just prior to initiation of therapy. The patient's condition just prior to initiation of therapy can be referred to as the patient's baseline condition.
[0036] As used herein, the phrases “used concomitantly with” or “concomitantly using” or “concomitant use” refers to methods wherein the subject or patient is being concomitantly administered another drug substance or compound as specified.
[0037] As used herein the term "disorder" is intended to be generally synonymous, and is used interchangeably with, the terms "disease," "syndrome," and "condition" (as in medical condition), in that all reflect an abnormal condition of the human or animal body or of one of its parts that impairs normal functioning, is typically manifested by distinguishing signs and symptoms.Attorney Docket No. 46696-0218WO 1 / 263.WO 1. PCT
[0038] As used herein, a “dosage” is the prescribed administration of a specific amount, number, and frequency of doses over a specific period of time.
[0039] As used herein, a “dosage form” refers to a form of the active agent suitable for administration of a specific dosage.
[0040] As used herein, a "dose" means the measured quantity of an active agent to be taken at one time by a patient
[0041] As used herein, "effective amount" and "therapeutically effective amount" of an agent, compound, drug, composition, or combination is an amount which is nontoxic and effective for producing some desired therapeutic effect upon administration to a subject or patient (e.g., a human subject or patient). The precise therapeutically effective amount for a subject may depend upon, e.g., the subject’s size and health, the nature and extent of the condition, the therapeutics or combination of therapeutics selected for administration, and other variables known to those of skill in the art. The effective amount for a given situation is determined by routine experimentation and is within the judgment of the clinician.
[0042] In the context of the present disclosure, the amount (as weight, typically in mg) of crinecerfont or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof in a dosage form is always expressed as the equivalent amount of crinecerfont free base, regardless of the form used, i.e., the crinecerfont free base or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt. If a pharmaceutically acceptable salt of crinecerfont was used, the amount of the respective crinecerfont salt would be higher in order to match the equimolar amount of the crinecerfont free base form used.
[0043] As used herein, "increased amount" of an agent, compound, drug, composition, or combination is an amount, which is increased with respect to a therapeutically effective amount that would be administered to a subject or patient not concomitantly using a strong cytochrome P450 3 A4 (CYP3 A4) inducer.

The examples are not intended in any way to otherwise limit the scope of the disclosure.EXAMPLESExample 1
[0180] In vitro, Compound A is metabolized primarily by CYP3 A4 (estimated fraction metabolized 68.0 to 83.7%). Based on the in vitro data that indicated that CYP3A is the highest contributor to overall metabolism, clinical studies were conducted to determine the potential for Compound A to be a “victim” of clinical drug-drug interactions resulting from CYP3 A4 / 5 induction (effect of rifampin, a strong CP3 A4 inducer).
[0181] Coadministration of rifampin with a single dose of a tosylate salt of Compound A decreased Compound A Cmax and AUCo-infby 23% and 62%, respectively (Table 1).Attorney Docket No. 46696-0218WO 1 / 263.WO 1. PCTTable 1AUCo-tiast= area under the concentration versus time curve from 0 hours to last quantifiable concentration; AUCo-inf= area under the plasma concentration versus time curve from 0 hours to infinity; Cmax = maximum plasma concentration; CV = coefficient of variation; NC = not calculated; t = apparent terminal half-life; tmax = time to maximum plasma concentrationaParameters are reported as mean (CV%) except for tmax which is median (minimum, maximum).
[0182] With an observed reduction of 62% of Compound A AUC with rifampin, a strong CYP3 A4 inducer, the daily dose of Compound A should be doubled when administered with strong CYP3 A4 inducers to achieve typical plasma exposures in the absence of CYP3 A4 induction. Based on the observed relationship between Compound A exposure and efficacy response, any change in Compound A exposure due to concomitant use of a moderate or weak inducer of CYP3 A4 is unlikely to have a significant impact on the efficacy response of Compound A. No dose adjustment of Compound A is required when administered with moderate or weak CYP3 A4 inducers.
