The present invention relates to a polyvinyl
caprolactam-
polyvinyl acetate-
polyethylene glycol graft
copolymer (PCL S-PAC-PEG S)
micelle in which
osimertinib,
etoposide, and
docetaxel are encapsulated, and used thereof. Specifically, the present invention relates to a pharmaceutical composition for preventing or treating
cancer, wherein
osimertinib, which is a target therapeutic agent, and
etoposide and
docetaxel, which are both anticancer
chemotherapeutic drugs, are encapsulated in a Soluplus®
polymer to form micelles, whereby anticancer activity can be effectively induced through an improvement in the
solubility of the poorly soluble
drug in water and a synergistic action between the drugs. The pharmaceutical composition for
cancer treatment according to the present invention enables effective solubilization of
osimertinib,
etoposide, and
docetaxel by encapsulating the poorly soluble drugs in micelles formed using the PCL-PVAc-PEG (Soluplus®)
polymer, and thus can be advantageously used as an intravenous injection. With the
advantage of avoiding first-pass
metabolism in the liver, unlike oral dosage forms, intravenous injection can reduce unnecessary loss of drugs and also increase
bioavailability compared to oral dosage forms, and thus is an effective administration method capable of expecting a high effect with the same amount of drugs. Therefore, development of such a formulation allows effective administration of osimertinib, etoposide, and docetaxel. In addition, the composition of the present invention can effectively treat non-
small cell lung cancer having an EGFR-sensitive
mutation while preventing the development of
anticancer drug resistance, which can be caused by single
drug administration, by using a targeted therapeutic agent and
chemotherapy in combination. Furthermore, the composition of the present invention employs a biocompatible
polymer as a material of the
micelle and thus has an
advantage of being safe for the
human body. Moreover, by combining osimertinib, etoposide, and docetaxel at a specific
molar ratio and encapsulating same in Soluplus® micelles, the composition of the present invention has excellent encapsulation efficiency of three kinds of drugs and has high monodispersibility having a consistent particle size of 50-60 nm. Thus, the composition can maintain consistent product quality and has excellent
formulation stability.
