CROSS-REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATION
This application claims the benefit of ty to US. Provisional Application
No. 61/823,766, filed May 15, 2013 and entitled “CENICRIVIROC COMPOSITIONS AND
METHODS OF MAKING AND USING THE SAME”, the t of which are hereby
incorporated by reference in its entirety for all purposes.
BACKGROUND
FIELD
The present disclosure relates to pharmaceutical compositions containing
iviroc or a salt thereof, methods for the preparation thereof, and their use in the
treatment of diseases or conditions, particularly viruses such as Human Immunodeficiency
Virus (HIV).
BACKGROUND
Cenicriviroc is the common name of (S,E)—8-(4-(2-Butoxyethoxy)phenyl)
2O (2-methylpropyl)-N-(4-(((1-propyl-lH-imidazolyl)methyl)sulfinyl)phenyl)- l ,2,3 ,4-
tetrahydrobenzo[b]azocinecarboxamide, the chemical structure of which appears in Figure
1. Cenicriviroc is a weakly basic and poorly soluble drug that can be efficacious
against viruses, for example retroviruses such as Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV).
However, clinical use of cenicriviroc can be limited because of bioavailability and stability
problems associated with known cenicriviroc itions. What is more, current
cenicriviroc formulations cannot accommodate a daily dose of cenicriviroc in a single tablet,
so a subject must take multiple tablets to obtain a sufficient therapeutic . Thus, new
compositions and formulations comprising cenicriviroc, along with associated methods of
making and using such compositions and formulations, are needed. The present invention
ses some of these needs, and provides other related advantages.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION
Except where noted, all terms are ed to have their normal meaning in the
art, and are used as they would have been used by a person of ordinary skill at the time of the
disclosure. It should be understood that throughout this application the singular forms, such
as “a,” “an,” and “the,” are often used for convenience, however, these singular forms are
intended to encompass the plural unless otherwise specified, or unless the context clearly
calls for the singular alone. It should also be understood that all ation, patents, books,
journal articles, and the like, which are ed to in this application, are incorporated by
reference in their entirety and for all purposes to the extent not inconsistent with the present
disclosure.
Definitions:
“Cenicriviroc” (also known as CVC) refers to the chemical compound (S,E)-
8-(4-(2-Butoxyethoxy)phenyl)- l -(2-methylpropyl)-N—(4-((( l -propyl- l H-imidazol-5 -
yl)methyl)sulf1nyl)phenyl)-l,2,3,4-tetrahydrobenzo[b]azocinecarboxamide, which also has
the chemical name of 8-[4-(2-butoxyethoxy)phenyl]-1,2,3,4-tetrahydro(2-methy1propyl)-N—
[4-[(S)—[(1-propyl-1H—imidazol-S-y1)methyl]sulfiny1]pheny1]-l-Benzazocinecarboxamide.
Cenicriviroc also has a CAS registry number of 4972233. In certain embodiments, CVC
forms acid addition salts, such as a salt of methanesulfonic acid. In one embodiment, the
present compositions contain cenicriviroc mesylate.
“Substantially similar” means a composition or formulation that resembles the
reference composition or formulation to a great degree in both the identities and amounts of
the composition or ation.
“About” means having a value that is sufficiently close to the reference value
so as to have identical or substantially identical properties as the reference value. Thus,
depending on t, “about” can mean, for example, 5%, 4%, 3%, 2%, l%, or :: less
than 1%.
“Pharmaceutically acceptable” refers to a material or method that can be used
in medicine or pharmacy, including for veterinary purposes, for e, in administration to
a subject.
“Salt” and “pharmaceutically acceptable salt” includes both acid and base
addition salts. “Acid addition salt” refers to those salts that retain the biological effectiveness
and ties of the free bases, which are not biologically or otherwise undesirable, and
which are formed with inorganic acids and organic acids. “Base addition salt” refers to those
salts that retain the biological effectiveness and properties of the free acids, which are not
ically or otherwise undesirable, and which are prepared from addition of an inorganic
base or an organic base to the free acid.
“Pharmaceutical formulation” refers to a formulation of a compound of the
disclosure and a medium generally accepted in the art for the delivery of the biologically
active compound to mammals, e.g., humans. Such a medium es all ceutically
acceptable carriers, diluents or excipients therefor. The pharmaceutical formulations as
described herein may be in various dosage forms, such as oral or solid or both dosage forms.
WO 86581 2014/038211
In some embodiments, the present pharmaceutical formulations are in tablet or capsule
dosage forms.
“Treating” includes ameliorating, mitigating, and reducing the instances of a
e or condition, or the symptoms of a e or condition. Because the instances of
many diseases or conditions can be reduced before the disease or condition manifests,
treating can also include prophylaxis.
“Administering” includes any mode of administration, such as oral,
subcutaneous, sublingual, transmucosal, parenteral, intravenous, intra-arterial, buccal,
sublingual, topical, vaginal, rectal, ophthalmic, otic, nasal, inhaled, and ermal.
“Administering” can also include prescribing or filling a prescription for a dosage form
comprising a particular compound. istering” can also include providing directions to
carry out a method involving a particular compound or a dosage form comprising the
compound.
“Therapeutically effective amount” means the amount of an active substance
that, when stered to a subject for treating a disease, disorder, or other undesirable
medical condition, is sufficient to have a beneficial effect with respect to that disease,
disorder, or condition. The therapeutically effective amount will vary depending on the
chemical identity and formulation form of the active substance, the disease or condition and
its severity, and the age, , and other relevant characteristics of the patient to be treated.
ining the therapeutically effective amount of a given active substance is within the
ordinary skill of the art and typically requires no more than routine experimentation.
As noted above, the present disclosure provides a composition, such as a solid
composition, containing cenicriviroc or a salt thereof and filmaric acid. The cenicriviroc or
salt thereof can be cenicriviroc mesylate. The weight ratio between the iviroc or a salt
thereof and c acid, based on the weight of free cenicriviroc, can be from about 7: 10 to
about 10:7, such as from about 8:10 to about 10:8, from about 9:10 to about 10:9, or from
about 95:100 to about 100:95. The fumaric acid can be present in an amount of from about
% to about 40%, such as from about 20% to about 30%, or about 25%, by weight of the
ition. The iviroc or salt thereof can be present, based on the weight of free
cenicriviroc, from about 15% to about 40%, such as from about 20% to about 30%, or about
%, by weight of the composition.
The fumaric acid in the composition can both act as a solubilizer and impart
beneficial properties to the composition. For example, filmaric acid can increase the
bioavailability of the composition when compared with itions using other solubilizers,
particularly citric acid, maleic acid, and sodium bisulfate.
In some cases, the bioavailability of compositions comprising cenicriviroc
mesylate with filmaric acid can ch that of an oral solution. Absorption of an oral
solution is not impaired by the rate or extent of drug dissolution. Thus, absorption of drug
from a solution is limited only by interactions n the dissolved drug, the body, and
ingested materials such as food, beverages, and other drugs. Thus, itions that
ch or equal the bioavailability of an oral solution can be particularly desirable.
This result is surprising and cted. As shown in Table l, fumaric acid
has a much lower dissolution time that other acids. Rapidly dissolving acidic excipients were
previously believed to have higher solubilizing power on the theory that the excipient should
dissolve as fast or faster than the active pharmaceutical ingredient. Several journal articles
argue that fumaric acid specifically should not be used in oral dosage forms because of its
low solubility and long dissolution time. Thus, it is surprising that the long dissolution time
of fumaric acid is ated with higher cenicriviroc bioavailability.
The results described in Table l were med by adding 200 mg of the acid
to 90 mL purified water using a Mettler Toledo mixing chamber held at the specified
temperature with an upward pumping four blade impeller at 250 rpm. The disappearance of
particles undergoing dissolution was monitored by d-beam reflectance measurement
(FBRM). Data was analyzed by reviewing individual 2 second measurement trends as well
as trends averaged over 10 and 30 seconds.

Without being bound by , the longer dissolution time of fumaric acid
can be beneficial because, upon administration, fill’IlElI‘lC acid does not dissolve as quickly as
other acid solubilizers. Thus, fumaric acid can provide an acidic environment around the
cenicriviroc or salt thereof for a longer period of time than other, more soluble acid
solubilizers such as citric acid.
In addition to cenicriviroc and fumaric acid, the composition can have one or
more additional ients, for example one or more fillers, one or more disintegrants, or
one or more lubricants. Further additional ingredients can also be present, although it should
be understood that no particular additional ingredient is required unless ise specified.
The one or more fillers, when used, can include at least one of
microcrystalline cellulose, calcium phosphate dibasic, cellulose, lactose, sucrose, mannitol,
ol, starch, and calcium carbonate. For example, the one or more fillers can be
microcrystalline cellulose. The weight ratio of the one or more fillers, such as
microcrystalline cellulose, to the cenicriviroc or salt thereof can be from about 25:10 to about
:8, such as from about 20:10 to about 10:10 or about 15:10, based on the weight of free
cenicriviroc. The one or more fillers, such as rystalline cellulose, can be present in an
amount of from about 25% to about 55%, such as from about 30% to about 50%, or about
40%, by weight of the composition.
The one or more disintegrants, when used, can include at least one of cross-
linked polyvinylpyrrolidone, linked sodium carboxymethyl cellulose, and sodium
starch glycolate. For example, the one or more egrants can be cross-linked sodium
carboxymethyl cellulose. The weight ratio of the one or more disintegrants, such as cross-
linked sodium carboxymethyl cellulose, to the iviroc or salt f can be from about
10:100 to about 30:100, such as about 25:100 based on the weight of free cenicriviroc. The
one or more disintegrants can be present in an amount of from about 2% to about 10%, such
as about 4% to about 8%, or about 6%, by weight of the composition.
The one or more lubricants, when used, can include at least one of talc, silica,
stearin, ium stearate, or stearic acid. For example, the one or more ants can be
magnesium stearate. The one or more lubricants can be present in an amount of from about
0.25% to about 5%, such as from about 0.75% to about 3%, or about 1.25%, by weight of the
composition.
Further onal ingredients that can be used are listed in Remington: The
Science and Practice ofPharmacy, which is hereby orated by reference in its entirety
for all purposes.
The composition can be in various forms. Examples of forms suitable for
pharmaceutical use are listed in Remington: The Science and Practice ofPharmacy, which is
hereby orated by reference in its ty for all purposes. The composition can be, for
example, a granulate, a matrix, a , or portion of a tablet, such as one or more layers of a
multi-layer tablet. The ition can be a powder, which can be filled into a capsule,
sachet, bottle, vial, ampoule, etc. The composition can be a substrate for a one or more
coating layers, such as pharmaceutical coating layers known in the art, which can be applied
to the composition. When the ition is a granulate, the average particle size can be
about 75 microns or greater, such as about 300 microns or greater.
The composition can be manufactured by admixing the cenicriviroc or salt
thereof, such as cenicriviroc mesylate, with filmaric acid to form an admixture and dry
2O granulating the ure. Exemplary methods of dry granulation include roller compaction,
slugging, and pelletization. The size of the dry granulated composition can the be reduced by
methods such as milling, if desired. However, it should be understood that no particular
methods of ation, dry granulation, or size reduction are required unless otherwise
specified. One or more of the fillers, disintegrants, lubricants, and other additional
ingredients discussed above can also be admixed in the admixture. The ratio or amounts of
the s components of the admixture can be the same as those discussed above with
reference to the composition. The dry granulated admixture can have an average particle size
of greater than 75 microns, such as greater than 300 microns.
Dry granulation can produce a composition that not only has a low level of
water, but also is not significantly hygroscopic, that is, does not absorb significant amounts of
additional water from the surrounding environment. For e, the water content of the
2014/038211
composition can be no more than about 4%, or no more than about 2%, by weight after about
six weeks of exposure to about 40°C at about 75% relative humidity when packaged with a
desiccant.
After dry granulation, the composition can be formulated into one or more
formulations. For example, the composition can be filled into a capsule or sachet. As filrther
examples, the dry granulated admixture can be formulated into a matrix, a , or one or
more layers of a single or multi-layer tablet, for example by compression, or fiarther
formulated by methods known in the art for formulating ceutical itions, such
as those described in Remington: The Science and Practice of Pharmacy, which is hereby
incorporated by reference in its entirety for all purposes.
The composition, for example in the form of a ate, can be mixed with
other granulates or powders, however, such extragranular materials, which are not granulated
with the components of the composition, are not part of the composition, for example, for
purposes of calculating the ratio or relative amounts of the s components. However,
one or more formulations comprising the composition in the form of a ate and further
sing extragranular materials are contemplated as part of the embodiments described
herein.
As an e, a formulation can include a composition as described herein in
the form of granulate along with one or more extragranular components, such as one or more
additional pharmaceutically active . The one or more additional ceutically
active agents can include one or more of antiretroviral drugs, such as one or more CCR5
receptor antagonists, entry inhibitors, nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitors, nucleotide
reverse transcriptase inhibitors, non-nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitors, protease
inhibitors, integrase inhibitors, and maturation inhibitors, for example, one or more of
maraviroc, lamivudine, efavirenz, raltegravir, vivecon, bevirimat, alpha eron,
zidovudine, abacavir, lopinavir, ritonavir, tenofovir, tenofovir disoproxil, vir prodrugs,
emtricitabine, elvitegravir, cobicistat darunavir, atazanavir, rilpivirine, and dolutegravir. As
another e, the one or more additional pharmaceutically active agents can include one
or more immune system suppressing agents, such as one or more of cyclosporine, tacrolimus,
prednisolone, hydrocortisone, sirolimus, everolimus, azathioprine, mycophenolic acid,
methotrexate, basiliximab, daclizumab, rituximab, anti-thymocyte in, and anti-
lymphocite globulin, for example, tacrolimus or methotrexate.
For example, a composition as described herein can be admixed with the one
or more additional pharmaceutically active agents and optionally one or more excipients, and
then compressed into a monolithic fixed-dose combination tablet. As another example, a
composition as described herein and a second composition comprising an additional
pharmaceutically active agent can be formed into a multi-layer tablet by the use of tabletting
equipment known in the art to be le for that purpose.
t treatment guidelines for HIV prefer fixed-dose combination (FDC)
single tablets. The main advantage of FDC products is the convenience and city of
dosing, which leads to sed patient compliance and improved clinical outcomes. FDC
products for the HIV treatment fall into three categories: (1) Backbone formulations where 2
agents are co-formulated in a single tablet, e.g. Truvada (emtricitabine/tenofovir disoproxil
te), and Epzicom (\"War/lamivudine); (2) Boosted protease single s products,
such as Kaletra avir/ritonavir); (3) Single Tablet Regimen (STR) products containing a
complete treatment regimen in a single , taken once-daily such as Atripla (efavirenz/
emtricitabine/tenofovir disoproxil te), Complera (emtricitabine/ rilpivirine/tenofovir
disoproxil filmarate), and Stribild (elvitegravir/cobicistat/emtricitabine/tenofovir disoproxil
fumarate).
2O In one embodiment, the invention provides a composition comprising
cenicriviroc or a salt thereof and fiamaric acid in combination with lamivudine (3TC). In
another embodiment, the invention provides a composition comprising cenicriviroc or a salt
thereof and fumaric acid in combination with efavirenz (EFV). In yet another embodiment,
the invention provides a composition comprising cenicriviroc or a salt thereof and fiamaric
acid in ation with 3TC and EFV. In certain embodiments, the ation products
containing cenicriviroc, 3TC and/or EFV prepared according to the invention are effective as
single tablet regiment for the treatment of viral infection, in particular, HIV infection.
In one embodiment, the dose strength ratio of cenicriviroc to 3TC in
ation formulations is from about 1:2 to about 1:12, such as about 1:2, 1:4, 1:10 or 1:12
based on the weight of free iviroc, inclusive of all ranges and subranges therebetween.
For example, a single tablet comprising cenicriviroc or its salt and 3TC may comprise a dose
strength of 25 mg of cenicriviroc free base and 300 mg of 3TC thereby providing a dose
strength ratio of 1:12. Alternatively, a single tablet comprising cenicriviroc or its salt and
3TC may comprise a dose strength of 150 mg of cenicriviroc free base and 300 mg of 3TC
y ing a dose strength ratio of 1:2.
In one embodiment, the dose strength ratio of cenicriviroc to EFV in
combination formulations is from about 1:2 to about 1:12, such as about 1:2, 1:3, 1:4, 1:5,
1:6, 1:8, 1:10 or 1:12 based on the weight of free cenicriviroc, inclusive of all ranges and
subranges therebetween. For example, a single tablet comprising cenicriviroc or its salt and
EFV may comprise a dose strength of 150 mg of cenicriviroc free base and 600 mg of EFV
thereby providing a dose strength ratio of 1:4. Alternatively, a single tablet comprising
cenicriviroc or its salt and EFV may comprise a dose strength of 120 mg of cenicriviroc free
base and 600 mg of EFV thereby ing a dose th ratio of 1 :2.
The invention also provides methods of preparing combination formulations
sing cenicriviroc, 3TC and/or EFV. In one ment, the method of preparing
combination formulations comprises admixing cenicriviroc or a salt thereof, filmaric acid,
and other ceutical excipients to form an admixture, dry granulating the admixture to
obtain cenicriviroc granules, blending the cenicriviroc granules with 3TC and/or EFV and
suitable excipients and compressing the resulting mixture into tablets to obtain a combination
product. That is, in this embodiment, the additional active agents are present extragranularly.
2O In alternative embodiments, a portion or the entire amount of additional active agents may be
present intragranularly. In yet another embodiment, combination products sing
cenicriviroc, 3TC and EFV may be prepared in the form of a r tablet where one layer
comprises cenicriviroc and 3TC and the other layer comprises EFV. In one embodiment of
the bilayer tablets, cenicriviroc is present intragranularly and 3TC is present extragranularly.
EXAMPLES
A series of cenicriviroc mesylate compositions that were identical except for
the ty of the acid solubilizer were prepared by wet granulation in a Key 1L bowl
granulator, followed by tray drying, sieving, mixing and compression into tablets on a Carver
press. The composition of the formulations is shown in Table 2

The tablets were administered to beagle dogs. An oral solution was also
administered as a control. The absolute bioavailabilities of the formulations and of the oral
solution were determined, and are shown in Figure 2. The result shows that the iViroc
mesylate with fumaric acid has a icantly higher bioavailability than any of the other
solubilizers tested.
Examples 2a-2e
CenicriViroc mesylate, fiamaric acid, microcrystalline cellulose, cross-linked
sodium carboxymethyl cellulose, linked polyvinylpyrrolidone (when used), and
magnesium stearate were admixed, dry granulated, milled, blended with extragranular
rystalline cellulose, cross-linked sodium ymethyl cellulose, and magnesium
stearate and compressed into tablets. In Example 2c, the fumaric acid was not granulated
with the cenicriViroc mesylate and other excipients; d, it was admixed with the
extragranular microcrystalline cellulose, and this admixture blended with the dry granulate
before compression into tablets. In Example 2a, 39.00 mg of the linked sodium
carboxymethyl cellulose was part of the dry granulate; the rest was admixed with the
extragranular microcrystalline cellulose and this admixture d with the dry granulate
before compression into tablets. All of the tablets had a hardness greater than 10 kP and
friability less than 0.8% w/w. The s had the compositions shown in Table 3a.

Example 6
The absolute bioavailability of the tablets of Example 3 in beagle dogs was
compared to that of the tablets of Examples 4 and 5, as well as to both an oral solution of
cenicriViroc te and a gelatin capsule containing cenicriViroc mesylate powder. The
results are shown in Table 7.
Table 7
Absolutebioavauabim %
Oral Solution
21.1
This example trates that the bioavailability of cenicriviroc in dry
granulated tablets with filmaric acid (Example 3) is ntially similar to that of an oral
solution, and is cantly higher than the ilability of cenicriviroc in wet granulated
tablets with citric acid (Example 4), and over double that of cenicriviroc in tablets with
amorphous cenicriviroc in a spray dried dispersion with HPMC-AS le 5). These
results are surprising, because there was no reason to t that dry granulation of
crystalline API provides a significant increase in bioavailability over wet granulation and
amorphous spray dried dispersions. This is especially so because amorphous spray dried
sions are ntly used to increase the bioavailability of poorly water soluble drugs.
These results are also surprising because fumaric acid has a slower dissolution time than
citric acid and was used at a lower mass ratio of acid relative to cenicriviroc API (3:1 for
citric acid:API versus 1.06:1 filmaric PI). Thus, the finding that filmaric acid is a more
effective solubilizer for cenicriviroc than citric acid is surprising and unexpected.
Example 7
The stability under an accelerated stability test of the tablets of Example 2b
was compared to that of the tablets of Examples lb, 4, and 5 by exposing tablets of each of
those Examples to an environment of 75% relative humidity at 40° C. All tablets were
packaged with a desiccant in an induction sealed bottle during the study. As shown in Figure
3, the tablets of Examples 2b are surprisingly much more stable than the other wet granulated
tablets, and have a stability similar to that of the spray dried dispersion tablets. This
difference in stability between the tablets of Examples 2b and Example 4 is particularly
surprising since the only significant difference between the two is the method of making the
formulations (dry ation vs. wet granulation). These results are also surprising, because
it was not previously known that the method of granulation could have an effect on both
cenicriviroc bioavailability and tablet stability.
Example 8
The stability under an accelerated stability test of the tablet of Example 2b was
tested by exposing the tablets to an environment of 75% relative humidity at 40° C for six
weeks. All tablets were packaged with a desiccant in an induction sealed bottle during the
study. The tablets were tested for water content, strength, and total impurities. The results
are shown in Table 8, which shows that the tablets are very stable under these conditions.
Table 8

——_—
The dissolution profile of cenicriviroc from tablets of Examples 3, 4, and 5
were also tested after storage under the conditions described above. The results appear in
Figure 4, which shows that the wet-granulated citric acid containing tablet of e 4 was
much less stable than the dry granulated fumaric acid containing tablet of Example 3 and the
spray-dried dispersion tablet of Example 5.
e 9
Dynamic vapor on rms at 25° C correlate to the stability of the
tablets of Examples 2b and 4 with that of cenicriviroc mesylate. Sorption was performed
from 0% relative humidity to 90% relative humidity at 5% intervals. At each al, each
sample was equilibrated for no less than 10 minutes and no longer than 30 minutes.
Equilibration was stopped when the rate of mass increase was no more than 0.03% w/w per
minute or after 30 minutes, whichever was shorter. The result, which appears in Figure 5,
shows that s of e 2b are significantly more stable than those of Example 4. This
result is consistent with Example 2b being significantly less hygroscopic than Example 4.
The increased hygroscopicity of Example 4, in comparison to Examples 2b, can be associated
with a higher mobile water content which can in turn cause partial gelation and subsequent
sed stability of Example 4.
Example 10
The bioavailability of the tablets of Example 3 was compared to that of
Example 5 and cenicriviroc mesylate powder in a gelatin capsule in different stomach states
in beagle dogs (n=5). The bioavailability was tested under different pre-treatment states,
each of which alters the gastric pH. Specifically, pentagastric pretreatment provides the
lowest pH, no treatment provides an intermediate pH, and famotidine treatment provides the
highest pH. Pentagastrin is a tic polypeptide that stimulates the production of gastric
acid thereby lowering the gastric pH.
The result, which appears in Figure 6, shows that the tablets of Example 3 has
a higher bioavailability under all ions that were tested. The bioavailability of Example
3 varied less between pentagastrin treated and untreated dogs, whereas e 5 showed a
significant loss of bioavailability in fasted, non-treated dogs (intermediate gastric pH)
compared to that in pentagastrin treated dogs t gastric pH). Pretreatment with
2O famotidine, an H2 or t that suppresses stomach acidity and raises gastric pH
decreased bioavailability for all samples, however, the reduction for Example 3 was much
less than that for Example 5.
These results demonstrate an additional cted benefit of dry granulated
cenicriviroc itions with filmaric acid. Specifically, the pharmacokinetics of such
formulations do not vary as much as those of the spray dried dispersion formulation of
Example 5 when administered across the full range of potential human gastric pH conditions.
This result is unexpected and surprising, because the bioavailability of other weakly basic
antiretroviral drugs, such as atazanavir, is greatly effected by the gastric pH. For such drugs,
changes in gastric pH, which can be caused by a disease or medical condition, such as
achlorohydric patients, or by inistration of drugs such as antacids, proton pump
inhibitors, or H2 receptor agonists, can lower the bioavailability to sub-therapeutic levels.
These s showing that the dry granulated, fumaric acid based cenicriviroc mesylate
formulation of Example 3 is less prone to bioavailability changes as the gastric pH changes
shows that Example 3 is a more robust formulation that can be used in patients who have or
are likely to have varying gastric pH levels.
Example 1 1
The dissolution profile of the formulations of Examples 2a-2e were measured
using a USP Type 2 apparatus at 50 rpm paddle speed in 0.1 N HCl with 0.1% (w/w) CTAB.
The results are shown in Figure 7. The disintegration profiles of the formulations of
Examples 2a-2e were measured using FBRM. These results are shown in Figure 8.
Together, Figures 7 and 8 show that compositions and ations ning cenicriviroc
mesylate and c acid having different dissolution profiles can be obtained.
The te bioavailability in beagle dogs (n=5) of s 2a-2e was also
obtained, and the results are shown in Figure 9. The s show that while the absolute
bioavailability may vary depending on the formulation, a high bioavailability was obtained
for all samples.
Example 12
In this study, tablets of Example 2 were coated with commercially available
2O film-coating formulations and the stability of film-coated tablets was tested under accelerated
conditions (40°C/75% RH).
A film-coating step is commonly employed for the purposes of taste masking
or establishing a unique trade dress for the intended commercial formulation. Tablets of
e 2 were coated with three film-coating ations, each formulation containing a
different base polymer system. Specifically, Opadry 11 White 57U18539 containing hydroxy
propyl methylcellulose (HPMC or hypromellose) 11 White 85F18422 (Colorcon)
, Opadry
ning polyethylene glycol (PEG) and partially hydrolyzed polyvinyl alcohol (PVA), and
Opadry 11 White 200F280000 containing a methyacrylic acid mer were used to coat
the tablets.
Tablets were coated by atomizing an aqueous suspension of the coating
formulation onto the tablet surface in a perforated coating pan. The pan was continuously
WO 86581
circulated with warm processing air that provides convective heat transfer to evaporate water
from the tablet surface, leaving the coating formulation deposited as a film layer on the tablet
surface. Tablet compositions coated with the above-mentioned polymers are shown in Tables
9-ll below. Analysis of the e of the film-coated tablets is summarized in Table 12.

As shown in Table 13, the s of Examples12a and 12b showed acceptable
stability profile similar to that of the uncoated tablets of Example 2 with no substantial
ion of impurities or degradants. These results are ing because previous
experiments have shown that processing of cenicriviroc tablets in the presence of aqueous
environment had deleterious effects on the chemical and physical stability of the tablets.

In this study, the pharmacokinetic (PK) profiles of compositions of Example
2b (shown in Table 3b), e 3 (shown in Table 4), and Example 5b (shown in Table 6b)
were evaluated in human clinical trials. The ition of Example 5b was used as a
nce.
A phase 2b proof of concept study (“Study 202”) was carried out using the
composition of Example 5b to establish the PK profile for the 200 mg recommended
cenicriviroc dose taken with breakfast. In Study 202, the patients were administered 200 mg
dose of the composition of Example 5b once per day for 10 consecutive days. Since the
formulation of Example 5b is a 50 mg tablet, the patients were required to take 4 tablets each
time to administer the 200 mg dose.
In Study 110, a multiple dose regimen for the composition of Example 2b was
evaluated. In this study, the patients were administered 150 mg dose of the composition of
Example 2b with breakfast once per day for 10 consecutive days. Each time, the patients
consumed a single tablet of the composition of Example 2b containing the 150 mg dose.
In Study 111, the PK profile of a 200 mg single dose regimen administered on
an empty stomach just prior to or at bedtime was evaluated. The 200 mg dose was
administered by consuming one tablet of Example 2b (150 mg dose) and two s of
Example 3 (25 mg dose/tablet). The administration of three tablets to e the 200 mg
dose was solely based on the availability of the tablets of Examples 2b and 3 and not due to
any limitations on making a 200 mg tablet of cenicriviroc according to the invention.
The PK profile obtained in the above s is summarized in Table 14
below.

in Study 202 where the reference composition was administered. Thus, under the steady state
conditions (characterized as multiple dose exposure over 10 days), the administration of 150
mg of cenicriviroc in the form of inventive compositions with breakfast resulted in higher
bioavailability of cenicriviroc than the administration of 200 mg of cenicriviroc in the form of
a reference ition with breakfast. This data demonstrates that the inventive CVC
compositions where the microenvironment ses an acid and is thus pH-adjusted have
superior bioavailability than the dried dispersion formulation. Thus, the inventive
compositions make it possible to use lower amounts of CVC per patient per day thereby
ng the cost of the medication. The use of lower amounts of CVC also reduces the
tablet size and improves the ease of swallowing. The need for lower amounts of CVC also
makes it possible to combine CVC with other antiretroviral agents in a single tablet.
Study 111 was conducted to evaluate the PK parameters upon administration
of the inventive compositions at or immediately prior to e. For the treatment of HIV, a
combination of two or more active agents is preferred over a single active agent. For
example, efavirenz (EFV) and lamivudine (3TC) are used in combination with each other or
other active agents for the ent of HIV. It is recommended that EFV-containing
compositions be taken on an empty stomach preferably at or around bedtime. This is because
the PK profile of EFV is ced by food contents of the stomach and the administration of
EFV is associated with side effects such as CNS toxicities (e.g. dizziness) which are mostly
experienced around the time of highest plasma concentrations . Bedtime dosing is
preferred for managing these aspects of EFV administration. If cenicriviroc is to be co-
administered or co-formulated with EFV, it is important that the stration of
iviroc achieves a desired exposure level when taken on an empty stomach at bedtime.
Furthermore, EFV is a metabolic inducer of P450 (specifically the CYP3A4 enzyme).
Higher activity of CYP3A4 leads to rapid metabolism of CVC and consequently lower
absorption of CVC. Therefore, if iviroc is to be administered in combination with EFV
on an empty h around bedtime, it was estimated that higher amounts of CVC would be
necessary to provide higher exposure levels to compensate for the metabolic effects of EFV
on CVC.
The recommended cenicriviroc exposure level for the treatment of HIV has
been established in Study 202 (see Table 14) using a nce formulation containing 200
mg of cenicriviroc in the form of spray-dried dispersion administered with breakfast. Various
other clinical trials based on different formulations of cenicriviroc have established that the
steady-state exposure level (AUC) of cenicriviroc (characterized as day 10 exposure) is
approximately 15 fold higher than the exposure levels obtained from a single dose due to a
long ife of CVC which takes more than one dosing interval to accumulate up to steady-
state levels. The expectation that higher amounts of CVC will be required for its ation
with EFV was tent with the above data on the steady-state and -dose re
levels.
Unexpectedly, Study 111 showed that a dosing of 200 mg of cenicriviroc in
the form of inventive compositions around bedtime on an empty stomach achieved single-
dose exposure levels that were 2.6 fold higher than the reference steady-state exposure levels
(Table 14). That is, a single200 mg dose of the inventive composition around bedtime had
higher bioavailability than multiple 200 mg doses of the reference composition administered
with breakfast. The CVC exposure levels ed in Study 111 using a 200 mg dose of
inventive compositions were more than sufficient to counteract the EFV metabolic effects or
food effects. It was, therefore, concluded from Study 111 that lower than 200 mg of CVC
would be optimal for its co-formulation with EFV in single tablet regimen (STR) products
such as CVC/EFV/3TC. Accordingly, further studies on combination product prototyping
used 150 mg of CVC for STR products containing CVC/EFV/3TC.
Example 14
A dry-granulated CVC composition was prepared using a custom-made lab-
scale roller compactor e with smooth stainless steel counter-rotating rolls (25 mm
diameter, 125 mm width, and 0.5 to 3 mm gap width). Spunbonded olefin (Tyvek®) sleeves
were used to contain the powders pre- and post-roller compaction, providing adequate
conveying of small powder quantities through the compaction zone.
Cenicriviroc mesylate, fiJmaric acid, microcrystalline cellulose, and cross-
linked sodium carboxymethyl cellulose were admixed in a suitable-sized container and
blended by a tumbling action for a total of 40 revolutions over 2 minutes. Magnesium
stearate was added and the e was again blended for 40 tions over 2 minutes. To
a Tyvek sheet of 100 mm x 480 mm dimensions, a fold was made to form a sleeve that was
50 mm in width for a defined compaction zone that would contain the d powder as it
passed through the lab-scale roller compaction machine. Approximately 10 to 15 g of
powder was added to the sleeve and buted evenly. The powder-containing sleeve was
fed to the roller compactor at a gap width of approximately 2 mm and with a speed of 45 rpm
(linear velocity = 0.06 m/s). The resulting ribbons were compacted to approximately 1.0 to
1.5 mm thickness measured using a l caliper gauge. This process was repeated with
more blended powder until the entire batch had been passed through the roller compactor
tely. The resulting compacted ribbons were then milled to make granules using a
6 inch diameter, 20-mesh stainless steel rotary screen mill. The granules had the composition
shown in Table 15.

The granules prepared above were fithher d with microcrystalline
cellulose, cross-linked sodium carboxymethyl cellulose, and magnesium stearate to prepare a
CVC single agent tablet formulation shown in Table 16. The strength of the single agent
tablet can be varied readily by simply adjusting the total tablet weight accordingly. For
example, a tablet of 325 mg total mass could be prepared by simply using half the amounts of
the components and would have 75mg CVC freebase equivalent strength (linear scaling using
a common blend), while maintaining the same ratio n the components as that in Table

Example 16
The compressibility of the milled granules prepared by the lab-scale roller
compactor in Examples 14 and 15 was measured using the standard compressibility test and
is shown in Figure 10. Specifically, compression profiles of tablet blends were generated
using an instrumented compaction device re Analyzer) with 1/4" flat faced B tooling.
Three replicates of 100 mg compacts were compressed at four forces ranging from 100 kg to
700 kg. The ejected compacts were immediately weighed on a four place balance and
compact thickness was measured with precision calipers. Compacts were tested by diametric
compression test to induce tensile failure. Tensile strength (TS) of the compacts is
determined by the following equation:
TS = 2-F/(1r-D-T)
where F is the force needed to produce a tensile failure in the compact, D is
the diameter of the compact, and T is the compact thickness. Solid on (SF) of the
compact is calculated by the ing equation:
SF 2 m/ (V ‘ ute) = m/ [(75 ‘ (D/2)2 ‘ T) ‘ ute]
where m is the mass of the compact, V is the tablet , and pabsolute is
the absolute density of the tablet blend as measured with a helium pycnometer.
The compressibility of the milled granules prepared by the lab-scale roller
compactor in Example 14 was compared to the compressibility of the granules prepared by
scale processing ent available from commercial vendors. The results are shown
in Figure 11. The compressibility of the granules from Example 14 was found to be
comparable to the granules manufactured using Vector-Freund TF-220 at 500 psi roller
re (Example 16a) and s Minipactor at 4 kN/cm roller pressure (Example 16b).
These results demonstrate the utility of the lab-scale roller compactor in generating a
compaction pressure that is able to large-scale processing equipment.

A portion of the granules from Example 14 (cenicriViroc mesylate, fumaric

The te bioavailability of the tablets of Examples 18-23 (containing a
combination of cenicriviroc and 3TC) and e 14 (containing cenicriviroc as a single
active agent) was tested in fasted, untreated beagle dogs. All tablets were scaled down to
deliver a constant dose of cenicriviroc of 25 mg with the corresponding proportional decrease
in lamivudine to either 100 mg for Example 18 or 50 mg for Examples 19-23. The absolute
bioavailability results are summarized in Table 25. The ilability of the tablets of
Example 14 (cenicriViroc as a single agent) and Examples 19-20 (combination of cenicriViroc
and 3TC) was also tested under pentagastrin pre-treatment state which induces the lowest
gastric pH resembling the pH conditions of the human stomach.

The absolute ilability data shows that the exposure of CVC obtained
using the combination formulations of Examples 19 and 21 is comparable to the CVC single
agent formulation of Example 14. The bioavailability data for Example 19 with and without
the pentagastrin pretreatment showed that the level of CVC exposure is able
less of gastric pH conditions. More importantly, the data also shows that the acidic
microenvironment functionality of the CVC ation is maintained in this combination
product formulation. The data for Example 21 (1/2 1G 1/2 EG 3TC) shows that even when half
the amount of 3TC, which is weakly basic, was in direct contact with CVC/fumaric acid
granules (1G), the exposure of CVC and 3TC obtained was comparable to that of Example 19
where 3TC was completely d extragranularly (EG) with less intimate contact with
CVC/filmaric acid. This data indicates that 3TC, which is highly water soluble, dissolved at a
rate faster than that of fumaric acid, which is used in the invention as a slow to dissolve
solubilizer for CVC thereby ating the possibility that weakly basic 3TC would
neutralize fumaric acid. The data also confirms that the acidic nvironment feature of
the invention based on the slow to dissolve fiJmaric acid ent provides desired CVC
release teristics in viva despite the presence of 3TC, a weakly basic drug. Example 20,
where granules prepared using a concentrated CVC formulation were used, shows only
12.0% CVC exposure under no pretreatment and 22.1% with lower gastric pH conditions.
The exposure values for Examples 18, 20, 22 and 23 are still acceptable and may or may not
2O require a dose adjustment if administered to human subjects to compare relative
bioavailability. The absolute bioavailability for lamivudine which is greater than 90% for all
formulations is acceptable and appears to be independent of formulation composition and
cturing process.
Example 25
The disintegration behavior of C tablets was characterized by placing
a single tablet of each sample prepared for dog pharmacokinetic evaluation in approximately
250 mL water and ing the mode and speed of disintegration.
Table 26 summarizes the disintegration results for Examples 18 and 20-22.
Tablets of Examples 18 and 20 which contained the entire quantity of lamivudine
extragranularly displayed rapid disintegration similar to lamivudine active ingredient
compressed as a . Examples 2l-22 where half or the entire amount of dine was
present intragranularly displayed unexpected disintegration pattern. Specifically, Example 21
with half the amount of lamivudine present intragranularly disintegrated slowly over a period
of several minutes. Example 22 with the entire quantity of lamivudine present intragranularly
did not disintegrate at all. These results were unexpected given the high aqueous solubility of
lamivudine at 70 mg/mL. It is possible that the interaction between the intragranular
components may prohibit proper wetting and egration of the tablet and granules. Even
though the addition of lamivudine in the intragranular portion of the cenicriviroc granulation
is a strategy to conserve the tablet mass, special consideration with t to
biopharmaceutical performance must be given due to the tablet disintegration behavior
changes.

Compression profiles of CVC/3TC powder blends of Examples 17, 19, and 20
were measured and are shown in Figure 12. Although the addition of 3TC sed the
compressibility of the CVC single agent powder blends shown in Figure 10, all CVC/3TC
powder blends still showed acceptable compressibility characteristics required for
commercial product es. Lamivudine is a highly crystalline brittle material with large
discrete particles that disrupt the powder matrix oing the compaction process.
Examples 17 and 20 with higher concentrations of lamivudine exhibit lower compressibility
than Example 19 containing 150 mg of more excipient mass than Example 20.
Example 28
Bilayer tablets comprising a combination of three active agents, CVC, 3TC,
and efavirenz (EFV), were prepared for Single Tablet Regimen (STR) treatment studies of
HIV. In the r tablets, the CVC/3TC combination exists as a single layer whereas the
third active agent, EFV, exists as a second layer. The C layer of the tablet was
prepared using the concentrated composition of Example 20. However, any of the CVC/3TC
combinations sed above or related variations could be similarly used in this STR tablet
ration.
The EFV layer was prepared by a conventional high-shear wet granulation
process using a 5L stainless steel ator bowl. EFV, rystalline cellulose, cross-
linked sodium carboxymethyl ose, sodium lauryl sulfate, and hydroxypropyl cellulose
were blended in a hear mixer for 2 minutes at speed setting #2 to prepare a 300 g batch.
To the blend, 238 ml of purified water was added over approximately 6 minutes to obtain
suitable granulation and filrther blended, if necessary. The granules were milled with a blade
forward hammer mill and dried in a tray dryer at 80 CC. The dried granules were further
milled and blended with magnesium stearate. The EFV layer weight of the bilayer tablet was
850 mg corresponding to 600 mg of EFV active ingredient and 250 mg of excipients.
Separate layers of CVC/3TC and EFV were compressed into bilayer tablets having a

packaged tablets to an environment of 75% ve humidity at 40°C. As summarized in
Tables 32-33 below, no significant change was observed in the strength of CVC and 3TC in
the tablets of Examples 19 and 20 and the STR tablets of Examples 28-29. Tablets of
e 17 did not show any significant change after 2 weeks, but showed a numerical
decrease in the th of CVC and 3TC after 4 weeks. onal testing confirmed that
this decrease was not significant and arose as a result of an artifact in the analytical testing
method.

Example 33
Tablets of Examples l7, l9, and 20 were also tested for the formation of
related substances after 9 weeks of e at 5% RH. For this testing, a single tablet
of Example 17 was placed in a 100 ml flask, 5 ml MiliQ water was added, the flask was
placed on a shaker for 30 minutes at 200 rpm followed by the addition of 65 ml of methanol.
The flask was placed back on a shaker for additional 30 minutes at 200 rpm and the contents
were diluted to 100 ml with methanol. For tablets of Examples 19 and 20, a HPLC sample
was prepared by placing a single tablet in a 500 ml flask, 25 ml MiliQ water was added, the
flask was placed on a shaker for 30 minutes at 200 rpm, 325 ml of methanol was added, the
flask was placed on shaker for additional 30 minutes at 200 rpm and the contents were diluted
to 500 ml using methanol. The samples were analyzed for the formation of related
substances using HPLC. CVC related substances increased from <LOQ (0.05%) to
approximately 0.2% after 9 weeks of storage at 5% RH. No 3TC related nces
were observed at levels greater than LOQ (0.05%) after 9 weeks of storage at 40°C/75% RH.
