Description

SOLID DOSAGE FORMTECHNICAL FIELD OF INVENTION

[0001] The present invention relates to a solid dosage form preferably comprising a toll-like receptor 7 / 8 (TLR7 / 8) antagonists, particularly enpatoran. The present invention also relates to a method for preparing the solid dosage form, to a powder mixture for tableting; and to uses and methods related thereto; and to the use of the solid dosage form in the medical treatment, especially the treatment of TLR7 / 8-related autoimmune diseases.BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

[0002] Toll-like receptors (TLR) currently comprising a gene family of 10 receptors with different specificities are part of the cellular pathogen pattern recognition system, which has evolved for defense against a variety of infections (bacteria, virus, fungi). Activation of TLRs leads to cytokine responses, e.g. with release of interferons and activation of specified immune cells.

[0003] TLRs have been implicated in various autoimmune and inflammatory diseases, with the clearest example being the role played by TLR7 in the pathogenesis of systemic lupus erythematosus (Barrat and Coffman, Immunol Rev, 223:271-283, 2008). TLR7 has also been implicated in systemic sclerosis, myositis and rheumatoid arthritis (Duffy and O’Reilly, Immunotargets Ther. 2016; 5: 69-80). TLR8 in turn has inter alia been associated with rheumatoid arthritis and systemic sclerosis (Duffy and O’Reilly, loc. cit).

[0004] Enpatoran, which has the IIIPAC name 5-[(3R,5S)-3-amino-5-(trifluoromethyl)piperidin-1-yl]quinoline-8-carbonitrile, is a compound having the following structure:>

[0006] Enpatoran is a potent and selective small molecule inhibitor of the Toll-Like-Receptor (TLR) 7 and 8 in clinical development for autoimmune diseases, including for the treatment of cutaneous and systemic lupus erythematosus (CLE / SLE). The compound may be prepared according to the methods provided in WO 2017 / 106607.

[0007] When used for treating humans, it is important that a therapeutic agent, like enpatoran (i.e. 5-[(3R,5S)-3-amino-5-(trifluoromethyl)piperidin-1-yl]quinoline-8-carbonitrile), or a salt or hydrate thereof, retains appropriate polymorphic and chemical stability, solubility, and other physicochemical properties overtime and among various manufactured batches of the agent. Polymorphism refers to the occurrence of different crystalline forms of a single compound. A single compound may give rise to a variety of polymorphic forms, each having different solid-state physical properties, such as different solubility, melting point, stability, dissolution rates and / or different X-ray diffraction peaks. The existence of particular polymorphic forms and their physical properties is unpredictable.

[0008] If the physical or chemical properties of a therapeutic agent vary with time and / or among batches, the administration of a therapeutically effective dose may become problematic and may lead to inconsistent dosages or to ineffective therapy. Therefore, it is important to choose a physicochemical form, including a polymorphic form, of the agent that is stable, is manufactured reproducibly, and has physicochemical properties favorable for its use as a therapeutic agent.

[0009] Due to the possibility of variable solubility and / or stability of solid state forms, identifying the existence of distinct solid state forms of pharmaceutical compounds, including different polymorphs, is important for providing pharmaceutical products having predictable solubility profiles. However, the art remains unable to predict, which physicochemical form of a therapeutic agent will have a combination of the desired properties, including stability, dissolution and flow properties, and will be suitable for human administration, and how to make the agent in such a form, in particular in such crystalline form. Similarly, the solid state form of a therapeutic agent needs to be suitable for a certain method for preparation of a pharmaceutical composition, and in particular a solid dosage form such as a tablet for oral administration.

[0010] Apart from the solid state form of enpatoran, also the composition and properties of the pharmaceutical composition, such as a solid dosage form, e.g. a tablet for oral use, may affect stability, dissolution and / or absorption of an active ingredient. It is therefore crucial to carefullyselect and calibrate the excipients of a solid dosage form to ensure reproducible stability, release and absorption of the active ingredient.

[0011] There is a need for a solid oral dosage form of a TLR 7 / 8 inhibitor, such as enpatoran, in particular an immediate release solid oral dosage form for oral use, which is simple to prepare, stable in storage and use, and ensures consistency between batches with regard to desired properties (preparability, stability, disintegration & dissolution behavior, etc.).

[0012] It is thus an object of the present invention to provide a solid dosage form, in particular a tablet formulation, that is suitable for a range of drug loads and in particular also lower and higher drug loads, and to obtain tablets with an acceptable size and weight for easy oral administration. Furthermore, the solid dosage form should comprise a TLR 7 / 8 inhibitor, such as enpatoran, with desirable physicochemical properties that are conducive to easy processing for preparation of solid dosage forms, in particular tableting by compression such as direct compression; and the resulting solid dosage form should have good stability and dissolution properties to allow long-term storage and reproducibly fast and complete release of the active ingredient.SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION

[0013] After considering various solid dosage form designs, the present inventors found an advantageous immediate release solid dosage form comprising an active ingredient, such as enpatoran H1. The solid oral dosage form of the present invention comprises a core (1) comprising the active ingredient, and optionally an immediate release coating covering the core. The ingredients and composition of the solid dosage form are carefully selected to ensure the desired disintegration and dissolution profile after administration.

[0014] It was found that the engineered H1 polymorph of enpatoran is much more conducive to tablet preparation by compression than other polymorphic forms. In particular, it was found that the H1 polymorph of enpatoran, due to its favorable and more controllable properties (e.g., monomodal and tight particle size distribution, high bulk density, equant particle shape) is particularly suitable for direct compression, a preparation process, which would not have been considered with polymorphic forms of enpatoran showing less ideal properties. This, together with the variable, and high, drug load requirement, was taken as an initiative to develop a solid dosage form, such as a tablet formulation, for compression, and in particular direct compression.

[0015] Thus, the present invention provides a novel solid dosage form preferably for oral use, comprising an active ingredient, such as enpatoran H 1 , in a core (1), which may be prepared by direct compression, and which optionally is covered with a coating; and a method for its preparation as well as its use in the treatment of certain autoimmune disease, including lupus (such as SLE, CLE and LN), myositis (such as PM and DM) and Sjogren's disease; and related products, uses and methods.

[0057] The solid dosage form may further comprise a disintegrant. The term "disintegrant", as used herein, refers to a compound that expands and / or dissolves when wet, to cause disintegration of tablets or granulates to break apart and release the active ingredient. The disintegrant also functions to ensure that the active ingredient, e.g. enpatoran, is in contact with the solvent, such as water. Disintegrants serve to disintegrate tablets or granules etc. and thus enhance dissolution of the solid dosage form upon contact with the liquid dissolution medium. Suitable disintegrants include crospovidone (cross-linked polyvinyl N-pyrrolidone), carboxymethylcellulose and salts and derivatives thereof, such as crosslinked derivatives, for instance croscarmellose sodium (cross-linked polymer of carboxymethylcellulose sodium) sodium carboxymethyl glycolate, and starch (e.g. carboxy starch glycolate, or partially pregelatinized maize starch). Crospovidone and croscarmellose sodium are preferred. Croscarmellose sodium is particularly preferred. As used herein, the terms "croscarmellose sodium" and "croscarmellose-sodium" are interchangeable.

[0058] According to one embodiment, the core (1) of the solid dosage form comprises a disintegrant, which is selected from carboxymethylcellulose and salts and derivatives thereof, especially croscarmellose or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof (e.g. croscarmellose sodium); crospovidone, and starch (e.g. carboxy starch glycolate, or partially pregelatinized maize starch), and combinations thereof, preferably croscarmellose or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof and / or crospovidone.

[0059] A suitable crospovidone may be for example characterized by one or more of the following: a bulk density of 0.10 to 0.40 g / ml, preferably 0.15 to 0.31 g / ml, more preferably 0.18 to 0.28 g / ml; and / or a specific surface area (N2-BET) of 1-5 m2 / g, preferably 2-4 m2 / g, more preferably 2.5-3.5 m2 / g about 3 m2 / g; and / or a particle size of < 60 % is > 50 pm and < 25 % is > 100 pm, preferably < 40 % is > 50 pm and < 15 % is > 100 pm, more preferably < 30 % is > 50 pm and < 10 % is > 100 pm; and / or a content of water-soluble material of <15 %, preferably, <12 %, more preferably <10 %; and / or a hydration capacity of 3-10 g water / g polymer, preferably 6.5-9 g water / g polymer, more preferably 7-8.5 g water / g polymer.

Eur. 1.5 g of CCS is dispersed in 100 mL of demineralized water in graduated 100 mL cylinders. The dispersions are shaken and allowed to settle for e.g. 24 h. Afterwards, the settling volume is determined) of 5-40 ml, preferably 8-35 ml, more preferably 10-30 ml; and / or a pH value (1 % in water) of 4.6 - 7.4, preferably, 4.8 -7.2, more preferably 5-7; and / or loss on drying (according to Ph. Eur., 2.2.32, no 99) of <15 %, preferably, <12 %, more preferably <10 %. A commercially available croscarmellose sodium is for example Ac-Di-Sol® SD-711.

[0061] Disintegrants are present in the pharmaceutical preparation (solid dosage form) according to the invention in a proportion of for example as defined below.

[0062] According to one embodiment, the core (1) comprises 0.01-15 wt.-%, preferably 0.05-10 wt.-%, more preferably 0.1-8 wt.-%, even more preferably 0.15-6 wt.-%, or 0.2-4 wt.-%, or 0.25-3 wt.-%, or 0.3-2 wt.-%, or 0.35-1.8 wt.-%, or 0.4-1.6 wt.-%, or 0.5-1.5 wt.-%, or 0.6-1.4 wt.-%, or 0.7-1.3 wt.-%, or 0.8-1.2 wt.-%, or 0.9-1.1 wt.-%, or 0.95-1.05 wt.-%, e.g. about 1 wt.-%, disintegrant, preferably croscarmellose, relative to the total weight of the core (or alternatively relative to the total weight of the final powder blend used to prepare the core).

According to yet another embodiment, the core (1) comprises less than 15 wt.-%, preferably less than 10 wt.-%, more preferably less than 8 wt.-%, even more preferably less than 6 wt.-%, or less than 4 wt.-%, or less than 3 wt.-%, or less than 2 wt.-%, or less than 1.8 wt.-%, or less than 1.6 wt.-%, or less than 1.5 wt.-%, or less than 1.4 wt.-%, or less than 1.3 wt.-%, or less than 1.2 wt.-%, or less than 1.1 wt.-%, or less than 1.05wt.-%; disintegrant, preferably croscarmellose, relative to the total weight of the core (or alternatively relative to the total weight of the final powder blend used to prepare the core).

[0064] According to a particular embodiment, the solid dosage form comprises, or consists of, i) a core (1); and optionally ii) an immediate release coating (2) covering the core (1); wherein the core (1) is prepared by compression, preferably direct compression; wherein the core (1) comprises, or consists of, an active ingredient, preferably enpatoran; optionally powdered cellulose; and a binder, preferably selected from microcrystalline cellulose, copovidone, and a combination thereof; a filler, preferably mannitol; and a disintegrant, preferably croscarmellose or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof. According to another particular embodiment, the solid dosage form comprises, or consists of, i) a core (1); and optionally ii) an immediate release coating (2) covering the core (1); wherein the core (1) is preferably prepared by compression, preferably direct compression; wherein the core (1) comprises, or consists of, an active ingredient which is enpatoran; optionally powdered cellulose; and a binder, preferably selected from microcrystalline cellulose, copovidone, and a combination thereof; a filler, preferably mannitol; and a disintegrant, preferably croscarmellose or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof.

[0065] According to another particular embodiment, the solid dosage form comprises, or consists of, i) a core (1); and optionally ii) an immediate release coating (2) covering the core (1); wherein the core (1) is prepared by compression, preferably direct compression; wherein the core (1) comprises, or consists of, an active ingredient which is enpatoran; optionally powdered cellulose; and a binder, preferably selected from microcrystalline cellulose, copovidone, and a combination thereof; a filler, preferably mannitol; and a disintegrant, preferably croscarmellose or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof. According to another particular embodiment, the solid dosage form comprises, or consists of, i) a core (1); and optionally ii) an immediate release coating (2) covering the core (1); wherein the core (1) isprepared by compression, preferably direct compression; wherein the core (1) comprises, or consists of, an active ingredient which is enpatoran; powdered cellulose; and a binder, preferably selected from microcrystalline cellulose, copovidone, and a combination thereof; a filler, preferably mannitol; and a disintegrant, preferably croscarmellose or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof.

[0066] According to a preferred embodiment, the core (1) of the solid dosage form comprises powdered cellulose. The present inventors surprisingly found that the addition of powdered cellulose (e.g. 5%), when used in combination with other preferred excipients in accordance with the present invention as described herein (e.g. with a binder, such as MCC; a filler, such as Mannitol; a disintegrant, such as croscarmellose sodium; and an active ingredient, such as enpatoran H 1), can lead to the desired effect of a reasonable prolongation of the disintegration time, resulting in tablets that disintegrate e.g. in more than 1 minute but still disintegrate rapidly (<5 min) (without impairing the very rapid dissolution). This is unexpected, since cellulose powder has disintegrant-like properties, due to its fluid uptake and swelling characteristics; and since the addition of another binder (copovidone), or omitting the disintegrant did not lead to the desired effect of such a moderate prolongation of the disintegration time.

[0067] The powdered cellulose is not particularly limited. A powdered cellulose is for example characterized by a particle size distribution (e.g. retained on air jet sieve): up to 65 %, preferably up to 55 %, more preferably up to 50 %, or up to 48 %, or up to 47 %, or up to 46 %, e.g. about 45 %, particles with >32 pm (450 mesh); and / or up to 35 % preferably up to 25 %, more preferably up to 20 %, or up to 18 %, or up to 16 %, or up to 15 %, e.g. about 14 %, particles with > 63 pm (230 mesh); and / or up to 2 % particles, preferably up to 1 %, more preferably up to 0.5 %, or up to 0.2 %, or up to 0.1 %, or up to 0.05 %, e.g. 0 %, with >125 pm (120 mesh).

[0069] According to another embodiment, the core (1) comprises at least 0.05 wt.-%, preferably at least 0.1 wt.-%, more preferably at least 0.2 wt.-%, even more preferably at least 0.5 wt.-%, or at least 1 wt.-%, or at least 2 wt.-%, or at least 3 wt.-%, or at least 3.5 wt.-%, or at least 4 wt.-%, or at least 4.5 wt.-%, or at least 4.7 wt.-%, or at least 4.75 wt.-%, or at least 4.8 wt.-%, or at least 4.85 wt.-%, or at least 4.9 wt.-%, or at least 4.95 wt.-%; powdered cellulose, relative to the total weight of the core (or alternatively relative to the total weight of the final powder blend used to prepare the core). According to another embodiment, the core (1) comprises less than 50 wt.-%, preferably less than 40 wt.-%, more preferably less than 25 wt.-%, even more preferably less than 15 wt.-%, or less than 10 wt.-%, or less than 8 wt.-%, or less than 7 wt.-%, or less than 6.5 wt.-%, or less than 6 wt.-%, or less than 5.5 wt.-%, or less than 5.3 wt.-%, or less than 5.25 wt.-%, or less than 5.2 wt.-%, or less than 5.15 wt.-%, or less than 5.1 wt.-%, or less than 5.05 wt.-%, powdered cellulose, relative to the total weight of the core (or alternatively relative to the total weight of the final powder blend used to prepare the core).

[0129] In another preferred embodiment of the solid dosage form, the active ingredient is enpatoran, which comprises, or consists of, a crystalline polymorph, and wherein the crystalline polymorph is a hydrate or hemihydrate, preferably a hemihydrate.

[0130] According to a specific embodiment, the active ingredient of the solid dosage form at least 60 %, or at least 70 %, or at least 80 %, or at least 90 %, or at least 95 %, or at least 97 %, or at least 98 %, or at least 99 %, or at least 99.5 %, or at least 99.7 %, or at least 99.8 %, or at least 99.9 %, or 100 % by weight, of the enpatoran is a crystalline polymorph, and wherein the crystalline polymorph is a hydrate or hemihydrate, preferably a hemihydrate.

Preferably the crystalline hemihydrate form H1 is characterized by one or more of the above or below.

[0132] As used herein, the term “polymorph” or “polymorphic form” refer to a crystallographically distinct form of a substance. The practical physical characteristics of a polymorphic form are influenced by the conformation and orientation of molecules in the unit cell, which defines a particular polymorphic form of a substance. Different polymorphs of the same compound may have different physical, chemical, biological and / or spectroscopic properties. For example, and without limitation, different polymorphic forms may have different stability properties. A particular polymorphic form may be more sensitive to relative humidity, heat and / or light. In some cases, differences in stability result from changes in chemical reactivity, such as and without limitation, differential oxidation. Such properties may provide for more suitable product qualities such as a dosage form that is more resistant to discoloration when comprised of a particular polymorph. Alternatively or additionally, a particular polymorphic form may have a different dissolution rate thereby providing, for example, a more desirable bioavailability. Polymorphs can be detected, identified, classified and characterized using well-known techniques such as, but not limited to, powder X-ray diffractometry (PXRD), single crystal X-ray diffractometry, differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), thermogravimetry (TGA), vibrational spectroscopy, solution calorimetry, solid state nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR), infrared (IR) spectroscopy, Raman spectroscopy, hot stage optical microscopy, scanning electron microscopy (SEM), electron crystallography, quantitative analysis, solubility, and rate of dissolution.

[0133] In embodiments, the crystalline form of the enpatoran is the crystalline hemihydrate in polymorphic form H1, as described herein and in PCT / EP2024 / 072511.

[0134] Enpatoran hemihydrate form H1 may be characterized by one or more peaks from the powder X-ray diffraction (PXRD) (Cu-Ka1 radiation), presented in degrees 20 ±0.2°, wherein the peaks comprise 7.2, 9.7, 13.4, 14.3, 17.0, 17.8, 19.9, 20.6, 21.5, 21.9, 22.2, 22.6, 23.0, 23.5, 24.1, 25.1, 25.5, 25.8, 26.4 and 26.9. A powder X-Ray diffraction pattern may be obtained by standard techniques as described in the European Pharmacopeia 6th Edition chapter 2.9.33 and (may be) characterized by the X-ray powder diffractogram of Figure 4 (of PCT / EP2024 / 072516) (monochromatic Cu-Ka1 radiation, A = 1.5406 A, Stoe StadiP 611 KL transmission diffractometer).

[0135] Single crystal X-Ray structure data may be obtained on form H1 form (Oxford Diffraction Supernova Single Crystal X-ray Diffractometer with Graphite monochromator and CCD Detector) at 298 K. Hemihydrate form H1 crystallises in the orthorhombic space group P212121 with the lattice parameters a = 10.7499 ± 0.1 A, b = 16.4119 ± 0.1 A, c = 17.5927 ±0.1 A, and a = y = p = 90°. As can be seen from the single crystal structure of Figure 5 (of PCT / EP2024 / 072516), form H1 represents a hemi-hydrate form.

[0136] Form H1 is characterised by the following physical properties. Thermal behaviour shows dehydration <100 °C, followed by melting of anhydrous form A1 at -165 °C. TGA shows weight loss of -2.9 % (w / w) up to 130 °C which can be assigned to degradation of 0.5 mol water. The DSC scan of Form H1 was acquired on a Mettler-Toledo DSC1 with a heating rate of 5 K / min, using nitrogen purge gas at 50 mL / min. The TGA scan of Form H1 was acquired on a Mettler-Toledo TGA 851 with a heating rate of 5 K / min, using nitrogen purge gas at 50 mL / min.

[0137] Water Vapour Sorption behaviour reveals water uptake levels -0.5 % (w / w) in the full relative humidity (RH) range 0-98% RH. Hemi-hydrate form H1 can be classified as non-hygroscopic according to Ph. Eur. Criteria (section 5.11.). Water Vapour Sorption isotherm was acquired on a DVS Intrinsic system from SMS.

[0144] In some embodiments, the crystalline form of the enpatoran of the particle is the crystalline hemihydrate in polymorphic form H1, as described herein and in PCT / EP2024 / 072511.

[0145] The particles of enpatoran described hereinabove (and below) may comprise one or more crystalline polymorphic forms of the compound. In embodiments, the polymorphic form may be an anhydrous form of the compound. Preferably, the crystalline polymorphic form of the compound is a hydrate or hemihydrate, and most preferably is a hemihydrate. In embodiments, the particles comprise different crystalline polymorphic forms of the compound. In some embodiments, the crystalline form enpatoran in the majority of particles is a hemihydrate, such as the Form H1 referred to below. In some embodiments, at least about 10%, at least about 20%, at least about 30%, at least about 40%, at least about 50%, at least about 60%, at least about 70%, at least about 80%, at least about 90%, or at least about 95% of the particles have enpatoran in the hemihydrate form, such as the form H1.

[0146] According to preferred embodiments, the enpatoran comprises, or consists of, particles of a crystalline polymorph, preferably a hydrate or hemihydrate, more preferably a hemihydrate, even more preferably polymorphic form H1.

[0147] According to other preferred embodiments, the enpatoran comprises, or consists of, equant-shaped particles of a crystalline polymorph of enpatoran; wherein the crystalline polymorph is a hydrate or hemihydrate, preferably a hemihydrate, more preferably polymorphic form H1. Equant particles have roughly similar length, width and height, including both cubical particle, spherical particles, and other shapes.

[0148] The particles of enpatoran having polymorphic hemihydrate form H1, as described hereinabove, provide improved physical stability and high chemical stability. For example, at ambient conditions the particles of form H1 provide improved stability as compared to the enantiotropic behavior of certain anhydrous polymorphic forms. Based on the high physical stability, no protective packaging material may be necessary for the pharmaceutical formulations of enpatoran of the polymorphic hemihydrate form H1.

[0149] According to some embodiments, the enpatoran comprises, or consists of, particles of a crystalline polymorph of enpatoran, wherein the mean aspect ratio of the enpatoran particlesin the solid dosage form is at least about 0.3, at least about 0.4, at least about 0.5, at least about 0.6, at least about 0.7, at least about 0.8 or at least about 0.9. Aspect ratio is a parameter that describes the sizes of the particle in different dimensions. In some embodiments, the aspect ratio is the ratio of the width to the length of a particle. In some embodiments, the length is the maximum Feret diameter and the width is the minimum Feret diameter. In some embodiments, the length is the maximum distance between any two points on the perimeter of the particle parallel to the major axis and the width is the maximum distance between any two points on the perimeter of the particle parallel to the minor axis. The major axis passes through the center of mass of the object at an orientation corresponding to the minimum rotational energy of the shape. The minor axis passes through the center of mass at right angles to the major axis.

[0150] In some embodiments, the aspect ratio is determined from a two-dimensional representation of the particle. In other embodiments, the aspect ratio is determined from a three-dimensional representation of the particle. Preferably, the aspect ratio is determined from a two-dimensional representation of the particle(s) and corresponds to the ratio of the minimum Feret diameter to the maximum Feret diameter. The three-dimensional shape of particles can be determined, e.g., by using X-ray microtomography (see Yin et al., Sci Rep.2016 Apr 21:6:24763) and other 3D imaging systems such as dynamic image analysis using two cameras (see Liu et al., Chem. Eng. J., 438 (2022) and Rajagopalan et al., Volume 321, November 2017, Pages 479-493). The two-dimensional shape of particles can be determined, e.g., by optical microscopy. The dimensions and morphology of the particles may also be determined by, e.g., optical microscopy as described in USP, Method 776.

[0152] According to other specific embodiments, the crystalline polymorph of the majority (e.g. at least 60 %, or at least 70 %, or at least 80 %, or at least 90 %, or at least 95 %, or at least 97 %, or at least 98 %, or at least 99 %, or at least 99.5 %, or at least 99.7 %, or at least 99.8 %, or at least 99.9 %, or 100 %) of particles is a crystalline hemihydrate polymorph characterized by one or more peaks from the powder X-ray diffraction (PXRD), wherein the peaks, expressed in degrees 20 ±0.2°, comprise 7.2, 9.7, 13.4, 14.3, 17.0, 17.8, 19.9, 20.6, 21.5, 21.9, 22.2, 22.6, 23.0, 23.5, 24.1, 25.1, 25.5, 25.8, 26.4 and 26.9.

[0154] The enpatoran crystalline polymorph (in particular the hemihydrate) and / or particles described hereinabove show improved bulk properties with markedly improved manufacturability. The enpatoran crystalline polymorph (in particular the hemihydrate) and / or particles may have one or more of higher bulk density, higher flowability and improved manufacturing properties for tableting. The processing or handling of the active pharmaceutical ingredient during the formulation and manufacturing process may be greatly improved by using the enpatoran crystalline polymorph (in particular the hemihydrate) and / or particles described hereinabove. The enpatoran crystalline polymorph (in particular the hemihydrate) and / or particles can thus provide desirable processing properties. They can be easier to handle during manufacturing of the solid dosage forms allowing for improved active ingredient consistency in the dosage form. The enpatoran crystalline polymorph (in particular the hemihydrate) and / or particles disclosed hereinabove may show good tableting behavior, including one or more of (i) low tendency to stick to manufacturing equipment, such as the punches of the tableting press, and / or (ii) have good flowability, allowing for a smooth and reproducible tableting of the drug.

[0155] The bulk density of the compositions may be determined as the ratio of the mass of an untapped powder sample and its volume including the contribution of the inter- particulate void volume. Accordingly, the bulk density depends on both the density of particles and the spatial arrangement of particles in the sample. According to some embodiments, the enpatoran particles have a bulk density greater than about 0.3 g / cm3, greater than about 0.4 g / cm3, greater than about 0.5 g / cm3; greater than about 0.55 g / cm3; greater than about 0.6 g / cm3; greater than about 0.65 g / cm3; or greater than about 0.7 g / cm3.

[0156] According to yet further embodiments, the enpatoran or the enpatoran particles has a bulk density from about 0.5 g / cm3 to about 0.95 g / cm3, from about 0.55 g / cm3 to about 0.9 g / cm3, from about 0.6 g / cm3 to about 0.85 g / cm3, or from about 0.7 g / cm3 to about 0.8 g / cm3.

[0157] The enpatoran crystalline polymorph (in particular the hemihydrate) and / or particles described hereinabove may additionally have a flow function coefficient (ffc) greater than about 4; greater than about 5; greater than about 6; greater than about 7; or greater than about 8. Powder flow is important during tableting to ensure uniformity of the API powder flow and distribution into the tablet dies. This ensures tablet weight uniformity and production of tablets with consistent and reproducible properties. Powder flow is important during tableting to ensure uniformity of both the active ingredient powder flow and the distribution into the tablet dies. This ensures tablet weight uniformity and production of tablets with consistent and reproducible properties.

[0158] How to carry out the flow function coefficient (ffc) tests is described in PCT / EP2024 / 072516 and it is referred thereto for further details.

[0159] In further embodiments, the mean (or mode or median) particle diameter d90 of the enpatoran crystalline polymorph (in particular the hemihydrate) and / or particles described hereinabove, is less than about 600 pm, less than about 500 pm, less than about 450 pm, or less than about 400 pm. In further embodiments, the mean, mode or median particle diameter d90 of the particles of 5-((3R,5S)-3-amino-5-trifluoromethyl-piperidin-1-yl)-quinoline-8-carbonitrile of the compositions described herein is greater than about 1 pm, greater than about 10 pm, greater than about 50 pm; or greater than about 100 pm. In further embodiments, the mean, mode or median particle diameter d90 of the particles of enpatoran (5-((3R,5S)-3-amino-5-trifluoromethyl-piperidin-1-yl)-quinoline-8-carbonitrile) of the compositions described herein is from about 1 to about 600 pm, from about 10 to about 500 pm, from about 50 to about 450 pm, or from about 100 to about 400 pm.

[0160] According to specific embodiments, more than about 50%, more than about 60%, more than about 70%, more than about 75%, more than about 80%, more than about 85%, more than about 90%, or more than about 95% (e.g. by weight) of the enpatoran in the solid dosage form is of a crystalline hydrate or hemihydrate polymorph, preferably a crystalline hemihydrate polymorph, more preferably polymorphic form H1. In further specific embodiments, more than about 50%, more than about 60%, more than about 70%, more than about 75%, more than about 80%, more than about 85%, more than about 90% or more than about 95% of the enpatoran particles in the solid dosage form are of a crystalline hydrate or hemihydratepolymorph, preferably a crystalline hemihydrate polymorph, more preferably polymorphic form H1.

[0161] Processes for preparing the enpatoran H1 and the H1 particles are described in PCT / EP2024 / 072511 and PCT / EP2024 / 072516 (which are disclosed herein by reference) and are also described hereinbelow. Details of a process for the preparation of enpatoran particles are provided below. Further details can be found in items 144 to 160 above and in PCT / EP2024 / 072516.

[0162] Suspension or crystallization in water, or mixtures of organic solvents with water, were found to be useful to produce more isotropic, equant particles (PCT / EP2024 / 072516). The solubility of the enpatoran in water is poor, and thus a crystallization from water is not efficient and control of the particle size distribution from an aqueous suspension was low. In contrast, the usage of organic solvents in mixtures with water for the suspension or crystallization of the enpatoran provides improved control of the particles size and provides the preferred particle shapes.

[0163] A process for preparing the enpatoran particles involves the dissolution and / or suspension of enpatoran in a solvent as described below, optionally wet milling the suspension / solution, optionally heating and cooling the suspension / solution, and separating the particles of enpatoran from the solvent.

[0164] Heating the suspension may facilitate partially or fully dissolving the enpatoran in the solvent. The optional heating may be at a temperature from room temperature (for example, 25 °C) to the boiling temperature of the solvent. In embodiments, the suspension is heated to a temperature at or above 35 °C, at or above 35 °C, at or above, 40 °C, at or above 45 °C, or at or above 50 °C. Preferably, stirring or other mixing is applied to the suspension during the heating. The suspension is stirred at the selected recrystallization temperature for a period of time from 30 minutes to a day or more. In embodiments, the suspension is stirred for a period of time from 30 minutes to about 24 hours, from 1 hour to 24 hours, or from 2 hours to 24 hours.

[0165] The suspension is optionally cooled to a temperature of room temperature or below. In embodiments, the suspension is cooled to a final temperature of room temperature to 0 °C, to 0 °C to 10 °C, or to 0 °C to 5 °C. Preferably the cooling temperature is achieved slowly, i.e. , by cooling the suspension at a rate of 1 °C / minute or less, at a rate of 0.5 °C / minute or less, at a rate of 0.4 °C / minute less or at a rate of 0.3 °C / minute less, or at a rate of 0.2 °C / minuteless. Preferably, stirring or other mixing is applied to the suspension during the cooling. The suspension may be held at the cooling temperature for a period of time prior to the separation of the particles of enpatoran from the solvent. The suspension may be held at the cooling temperature for from 10 minutes to 4 hours, from 20 minutes to 2 hours, or from 30 minutes to 1.5 hours.

[0166] The particles of enpatoran may be separated from the solvent by any means known in the art, including for example, filtration or centrifugation.

[0167] The solvent for producing the particles is water, preferably in combination with one or more organic solvents. The organic solvent may be an ester, ether, alcohol, ketone, or combination thereof. Further details regarding suitable solvent can be found in PCT / EP2024 / 072516.

[0168] A preferred solvent for the preparation of the particles of enpatoran is a mixture comprising isopropyl acetate and water. The water may be present in the isopropyl acetate at a concentration of between 0.1 % to 2 % (v / v); from 0.5 % to 2 % (v / v); or from 0.5 % to 1.5 % (v / v). In an embodiment, the solvent is isopropyl acetate with 1 % water (v / v).

[0169] Wet milling may be used control or reduce the size of the particles of enpatoran and / or to ensure a more uniform particle size distribution. In the wet milling process the particles are suspended in a liquid and passed through the wet mill. The mixture may be recirculated through the wet mill until the desired properties, such as particle size and / or uniformity, are obtained. The liquid for the wet milling is a solvent as described herein.

[0170] Wet milling may be performed using techniques, apparatus and conditions that are known in the art, including, for example, using a planetary mill, colloid mill, media mill, ball mills, disc mills, and conical mills. The skilled person appreciates that various aspects of the milling process, such as the milling time, milling speed (rotation speed), temperature, etc. may be varied in order to achieve the desired particle size and / or uniformity. Further details regarding wet milling can be found in PCT / EP2024 / 072516.Tableting powder mixture and use thereof

The present invention having been described in summary and in detail, is illustrated and not limited by the following examples.EXAMPLES

[0207] Enpatoran is a small molecule inhibitor of the Toll-Like-Receptor 7 and 8. The inhibition of Toll-Like-Receptors is linked to various autoimmune diseases, e.g. lupus, such as systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) and cutaneous lupus erythematosus (CLE), and multiple sclerosis.

[0208] The enpatoran formulations used in previous clinical trials were to be optimized towards a higher drug load to obtain a tablet with an acceptable size and weight. Furthermore, a specific polymorph was chosen, to avoid any forms of enpatoran that potentially may be unstable and characterized by unfavorable particle characteristics.Methods

[0209] As depicted in the examples below, in certain exemplary embodiments, formulations are prepared according to the following general procedures. It will be appreciated that, although the general methods depict the preparations of certain solid dosage forms of the present invention, the following general methods can be applied to prepare the solid dosage forms, as described herein. Hardness, friability, disintegration time, and dissolution can be measured according to Eur. Ph. A. The symbols and conventions used in the following are consistent with those used in the contemporary scientific literature. Unless otherwise indicated, all temperatures are expressed in °C (degrees Centigrade).

[0210] Styl'One tabletting press and a Glatt GC2 coater were used for tableting and coating, respectively.

[0211] Tablet dissolution was measured as follows. The tablet core prototypes were subjected to dissolution analysis in 0.1 N HCI. The target release rate was set at >85% within 15 minutes.Disolution tester Sotax AT Xtend 7X, with CP 7-35 piston pump for automated sampling; UV spectrometer: Analytik Jena Specord 200 plus. Tablet hardness was measured using Tablet tester Sotax ST50. Disintegration time was measured using disintegration tester Sotax DisiTest 50.

[0212] Enpatoran active ingredient and some excipients of the embodiments below were manufactured by a direct compression process step (c.f. Figure 1). All excipients (microcrystalline cellulose type 102; Parteck M 200; cellulose powdered; croscarmellose sodium; silicon dioxide, highly dispersed; and magnesium stearate VS) and the active ingredient (enpatoran H1) are weighed, sieved through a 1.0 mm round hole sieve, and filled into a container in a specific order. The first step is to sieve the microcrystalline cellulose into the container. This is followed by the addition of the active ingredient (enpatoran H 1 ), then Parteck M 200, cellulose powdered, croscarmellose sodium, and silicon dioxide, highly dispersed, which are mixed for 10 minutes. The final step is to add magnesium stearate VS to the mixed powder and mix for five minutes. The resulting mixture is then compressed into tablet cores using a 7.7 mm embossed round punch (6 mm for 25 mg tablets). Opadry Yellow is weighed and suspended in purified water, and the tablet cores are coated with the suspension.Identification of preliminarily prototype formulation

[0213] Enpatoran is a development compound aimed at the treatment of systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) and cutaneous lupus erythematosus (OLE). It was shown that the engineered hemihydrate H1 polymorph of enpatoran is much more conducive to tablet preparation by compression than other polymorphic forms. In particular, it was found that the H1 polymorph of enpatoran, due to its favorable and more controllable properties (e.g., monomodal and tight particle size distribution, high bulk density, equant particle shape) was found to be particularly suitable for direct compression, a preparation process, which would not have been considered with other polymorphic forms of enpatoran. This, together with the high drug load requirement, was taken as an initiative to develop a tablet formulation for direct compression.

[0214] The objective was to develop an immediate-release film-coated tablet with a very rapid dissolution profile (>85% within 15 minutes e.g., 0.1N HCL). A formulation for the direct compression process was developed for this purpose and excipients that are suitable for direct tableting process were used.

[0215] In order to implement a process for direct compression, a certain number of points must be considered. The formulation should have good compressibility, which can be a challenge, if the active ingredient has poor compressibility. Furthermore, the required homogeneity of the final blend must be guaranteed by the mixing process and also be maintained during the tableting process. Otherwise, the various components may segregate, which can lead to an uneven distribution of the tablet components in the press and in an insufficient content uniformity. Furthermore, the consistency of the tablets produced cannot be guaranteed from batch to batch, since segregation phenomena might differ between batches.

[0216] One of the principal risk factors for segregation is a wide particle size distribution in direct compression formulations, in which active ingredients tend to be at the fine end of the range. When there is a wide range of particle sizes, there is an increased likelihood of sifting, where the smaller particles 'slip through' the bigger ones. Other bulk powder properties are also important for successful tabletting, such as good flowability and sufficient bulk density, and all of these factors combine to place a high requirement on the excipients used for direct compression.

[0217] Therefore, a more careful selection of excipients in comparison to granulation processes is required because the raw materials must demonstrate good flowability and compressibility. In order to master these challenges, the excipients were tested and selected carefully and are described below.Different formulations based on the technology of direct compression were evaluated based on their tabletability (tensile strength vs. compression pressure) and tablet qualities (hardness, friability, disintegration time and dissolution). The preliminarily identified prototype formulation showed a good tabletability with an increase of tablet hardness overall evaluated compression force levels (c.f. Figure 1 and 2 & Table 1).Table 1: Composition of the preliminarily identified prototype formulation [TestFormulationl (TabletFormulationl)].However, the tablets (cores) of the highest hardness level still showed relatively fast disintegration of about 30 s, which prove their feasibility for immediate release formulations (c.f. Figure 2 and 3). Nevertheless, the fast disintegration indicates a potential sensitivity of the tablets surface towards humidity. As the next process step involves coating of these tablets with an aqeuous suspension, a distinct prolongation of the disintegration to for example more than 60 s would be desirable. That is, the aim was to adapt the formulation to achieve a suitable disintegration time without impairing the very rapid dissolution.Prolongation of the disintegration

[0218] The strategy was to adapt the formulation, in particular with respect to the disintegrant or further binding agents. Therefore, a range of variations for the tablet formulation were tested (c.f. table 2 below, which lists some of them).

[0219] One approach was to change something about the disintegrant or binding agent. For example, the disintegrant was omitted (TestFormulation2), replaced by another one (Starch 1500; TestFormulation5) and another binding agent was added (cellulose powder (TestFormulation4); Kollidon VA64 (TestFormulation3)).Table 2: Composition of the different variations in the formulation

[0220] Reaching the target hardness level of 80 N was feasible with all formulations evaluated in this study except for TestFormulation5, where the high amount of starch 1500 replacing MCC as dry binder and Mannitol as filler, both with good dry binding properties led to a significant decrease in tablet hardness. Consequently, it was not possible to reach higher hardness values even by further increasing the compression force (cf. Figure 4).

[0221] Implementing powdered cellulose (e.g. 5%) (TestFormulation4) led to a slight increase in the required main compression force to obtain tablets with a hardness of approximately 80 and 100 N compared to the corresponding original formulation without disintegrant (TestFormulation2). Nevertheless, since the overall profile is still increasing at higher main compression force levels, the overall compression properties of these formulations are still good.

[0222] Surprisingly the addition of powdered cellulose (e.g. 5%) led to the desired effect of a reasonable prolongation of the disintegration time and resulted in tablets that disintegrate in more than 1 minute but still disintegrate rapidly (<5 min). This was not to be expected since the addition of another binder (Kollidon VA64; TestFormulation3) and omitting the disintegrant (TestFormulation2) did not lead to the desired effect. In addition, cellulose powder has disintegrant-like properties, due to its fluid uptake and swelling characteristics. This is also in contradiction to the extended disintegration time. Using starch 1500 as a replacement for croscarmellose sodium as disintegrant leads to far longer disintegration times than it was aimed for (TestFormulation5), despite the decreased overall tablet hardness.

[0223] Putting the focus on the target tablet hardness of 80 N and taking the aim of an average disintegration time of more than 1 min and a reasonable disintegration time (< 5 min) into account, formulation TestFormulation4 could be identified as most suitable candidate. The formulation TestFormulation2 had also nearly fulfilled the required disintegration time of min.1 min. Also, the target hardness of 80 N can be confirmed, as the stability of the tablets confirmed by the friability data (c.f.Table 3) is sufficient and the disintegration time values are in the target area.Table 3: Friability of the different variations in the formulation at a certain tablet hardness

[0224] The tablet core prototypes TestFormulation2 and TestFormulation4 were subjected to dissolution analysis in 0.1N HCI (cf. Figure 7, full line is TestFormulation2 and dashed line is TestFormulation4). TestFormulation4 achieved the target release rate (at >85% within 15 minutes in 0.1 N HCI) in contrast to the formulation omitting the disintegrant (TestFormulation2). Thus, TestFormulation4 had a desirable dissolution profile, while TestFormulation2 despite faster disintegration compared to the formulation with powdered cellulose (Figure 6) had a slower release rate than the target release rate (Figure 7).

[0225] In summary, an immediate-release film-coated tablet with a very rapid dissolution was developed for enpatoran with an appropriate disintegration time (>1 min and < 5 min) of the tablet core, which ensures further processing of the cores in the coating process.

[0226] Solid oral formulation consisting of enpatoran and one or more excipients is described below

[0227] Fillers: mannitol[02281 Binders: microcrystalline cellulose (MCC), powdered cellulose, Copovidone (e.g., Kollidon VA64)[02291 Disintegrants: crospovidone (e.g., Kollidon CL-SF), croscarmellose and its pharmaceutical acceptable salts, powdered cellulose

[0230] Lubricants: e.g. stearic acid and its pharmaceutical acceptable salts (e.g. Mg stearate).

[0231] Glidant: silicon dioxide, highly dispersed[02321 Coating agent: ready to use mixture containing polyvinylalkohol, macrogol, talcum, titanium dioxide, glycerol monocaprylocaprat, iron oxide yellow (Opadry QX321A220017 yellow), ready to use mixture containing polyvinyl alcohol part, hydr., calcium carbonate, talcum, hypromellose, glycerin-monocaprylocaprat, iron oxide-yellow / red & black (Opadry TF 271ZA220000-CN yellow) or other immediate release coating agents based on polyvinyl alcohol or hypromellose.

[0233] The following table contains an optimized exemplary formulation, which is a product of the above described insights.Table 4: Composition of optimized exemplary enpatoran formulation

[0234] In the following a more detailed description of the ingredients in the exemplary final formulation is provided:

[0235] Mannitol (Parteck® M200)

[0236] Mannitol is included (e.g. with 25.01% or 25.3%) in the formulation and acts as filler. Mannitol can be used to increase the compression bulk to a size practical for compression. For solid oral dosage forms it is widely used as diluent, plasticizer and sweetening agent. As diluent in tablet formulations it is often used, as it is not hygroscopic and can consequently be used with moisture sensitive active ingredients. Mannitol may be used for direct compression as well as for granulation. The functionality-related characteristics PSD and powder flow (characterized by e.g. flow through an orifice, hausner ratio, compressibility index, angle of repose) may impact the compression process.

[0237] Microcrystalline cellulose type 102 (MCC) (Vivapur® 102 Premium)

[0238] MCC is included (e.g. with 37.51%) in the formulation. MCC can act as a binder to impart cohesive qualities to the material. This facilitates the tablet formation during the compression process and ensures that the tablets remain intact after the compression. It is also often used as a as filler.

[0239] The functionality of MCC is inter alia based on its plasticity. During compression MCC plastically deforms and therefore, maximizes the area of interparticle bonding. Because of the broad PSD and its relatively low bulk density, small amounts of MCC are able to efficiently bind other materials. The broad PSD range provides optimum packaging density and coverage of other materials.

[0240] The flowability can be improved through the use of quality grade having larger particle size distribution. These coarser fractions, accounting for a large volume / mass fraction but a low number fraction, enable improved flow. This enhances the required die filling during the compression process and allows for a higher compression speed.

[0241] Cellulose, powdered (Elcema® F150)

[0242] Powdered cellulose is included (e.g. with 4.85%) in the formulation. It can act as binder and disintegrant. The functionality of powdered cellulose as disintegrant is related to its fluid uptake and swellability characteristics. The function-related properties PSD affects the swelling properties and therefore the disintegration.

[0243] Silicon dioxide, highly dispersed (Aerosil® 200)

[0244] Silica, colloidal anhydrous is included (e.g. with 1.02%) in the formulation. It can act as glidant to improve the flow characteristics of the powder by reducing the inter- particle friction and cohesion. Its small particle size and large specific surface area give it desirable flow characteristics that are exploited to improve the flow properties of dry powders in a number of processes such as tableting and capsule filling. Colloidal silicon dioxide is hygroscopic but adsorbs large quantities of water without liquefying. Aerosil 200 has a specific surface area of 200 m2 / g.

[0245] Croscarmellose sodium (Ac-Di-Sol® SD-711)

[0246] Croscarmellose sodium (CCS) is included in the formulation (e.g. 0.97% based on the entire formulation). It acts as disintegrant in order to facilitate the disintegration after oral administration.

[0247] Croscarmellose sodium (CCS) is cross-linked carboxymethylcellulose sodium and used as a superdisintegrant. The functionality of CCS as a superdisintegrant is related to its fluid uptake and swellability characteristics. It is known from literature [Pharmaceutical Excipients- Properties, Functionality, an Applications in Research and Industry; Edited by Otilia M.Y.Koo; Wiley; The influence of product brand-to-brand variability on Superdisintegrant Performance. A case study with Croscarmellose Sodium; Na Zhao & L.L. Augsburger; Pharmaceutical Development and Technology 11:179-185 (2006)] that the function-related properties PSD and degree of substitution (including the ratio of acidic to basic substituents) are the major factors influencing the swelling of CCS. Because swelling of CCS is attributed to the hydration of the carboxymethyl group, the carboxymethyl substitution increases the swelling ability of CCS. Compared to the acidic substituent, the basic substituent (its sodium salt) is more hydrophilic and tends to swell more extensively. Therefore, CCS show with basic substituents a better tendency to swell than with acidic substituents. The swelling ability of CCS is also adversely impacted at lower pH due to conversion of carboxymethyl sodium to it less hydrophilic free form [Pharmaceutical Excipients- Properties, Functionality, an Applications in Research and Industry; Edited by Otilia M.Y.Koo; Wiley],

[0248] Magnesium stearate VS (LIGAMED MF-2-V-MB)

[0249] Mg stearate is included (e.g. with 1.46%) in the formulation. It acts as lubricant / glidant in order to reduce friction at the interface of the powder and wall during compression. In addition, it improves the flow characteristics by reducing the particle- particle friction. Magnesium stearate is a boundary layer lubricant and the functionality is based on minimization of any irregular surfaces of the excipients by film formation on their surface. This reduces interparticle contact points, decreases friction and cohesive forces. Finally, the flowability of the powder blend is improved and the compression process is facilitated.

[0250] Qpadry® QX321A220017 yellow

[0251] An immediate release coating is applied for cosmetic purposes. Therefore, the coating uniformity and coating process efficiency have no impact on dissolution. However, the appearance and therefore the patient compliance may be impacted. For the coating process, fully formulated dry blend systems for the aqueous film coating of pharmaceutical oral solid dosage forms were used. Opadry® QX321A220017 yellow is based on the polymer polyvinyl alcohol (PVA).
