Abstract

Provided is a combination of at least one CRTH2 antagonist and at least one proton pump inhibitor. Preferred CRTH2 antagonists are indole-alkanecarboxylic acid derivative compounds of general formula (I), wherein the variables are as defined in the specification. An example of a compound of formula (I) is (5-Fluoro-2-methyl-3-quinolin-2-ylmethyl-indol-1-yl)-acetic acid. Preferred proton pump inhibitors are selected from omeprazole, esomeprazole, lansoprazole, dexlansoprazole, pantoprazole and rabeprazole. The combination is useful in the treatment of eosinophilic esophagitis. (I) is (5-Fluoro-2-methyl-3-quinolin-2-ylmethyl-indol-1-yl)-acetic acid. Preferred proton pump inhibitors are selected from omeprazole, esomeprazole, lansoprazole, dexlansoprazole, pantoprazole and rabeprazole. The combination is useful in the treatment of eosinophilic esophagitis.

Description

WO 88109 PCT/G320] 2/000904 COMBINATION OF A CRTHZ‘ NIST AND A PROTON PUMP INHIBITOR FOR THE TREATMENT OF EOSINOPHILIC ESOPHAGITIS BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION Field of the Invention Theipresent invention provides‘a method for the ent of eosinophilic esophagitis by administering compositions :c'oinprising one or more CRTHZ antagonist nds and one or more proton pump tors.
Related Art Eosinophilic gitis (EOE) is characterised by signs and symptoms related to eSOphageal dysfunction (Liacouras et al., J Allergy Clin. Immunol. 128:3-20 (2011)).
In adults these include dysphagia, chest pain, food impaction, and upper abdominal pain (Croese et al, Gastrointest. Endosc. 58:516-522 (2003); Furuta and Straurnann, Aliment. Pharmacol. Ther. -187. (2006)). Clinical manifestations in children ”vary by age. infants often t with feeding difficulties and failure to thrive, whereas school—aged children are more likely to present with vomiting or pain (Liac0uras et a(., 2011). Eosinophils are present histologically in biopsied esophageal tissue. EOE is considered to have an allergic etiology with 70% of EOE: patients having current or past allergic disease or positive skin prick tests to food or other allergens (Blanchard and Rothenberg, intest. Endosc. Clin. N. Am. 18.13343 (2008)). The signs and symptoms of 13013 are generally resistant to proton pump inhibitor (PPI) therapy, althOugh some patients do demonstrate a clinicopathological response to PPIs (Molina—Infante et 01., Clin. Gastroenterol.
Hepatol. 9:110-117 (2011)) and this has been described as sponsive esophageal eosinophilia” which may be differentiated from eosinophilic esophagitis based on response to PPls (Liacouras et al., 2011).
PCT/G820] 2/000904 Topical corticosteroids, used ‘off~label’ in EOE, are very effective at reducing the eosinophilic load of the eSOphagus, a process t to be mediated by the promotion of eosinophil apoptosis. -blind placebo~controlled trials have demonstrated that both fluticasone and budesonide are effective as induction in both children and adults treatments for reducing eosinophilic load and symptoms with EOE (Schaefer er al., Clin. Gas‘lroenterol. Hepatol. 6: 165—173 (2008); Konikoff et al, Gastroenterology 131:1381—139l (2006); Dohil et al., Gastroenterology 139:418—429 (2010); Straumann ét at, enterology 139:1526—1537 (2010)). remain Although PPls are not of general benefit in patients with EOE, many patients on these drugs to control acid reflux which may be secondary to inflammatory damage of the distal (lower) esophagus.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION The invention provides methods and compositions for preventing, treating, or ameliorating eosinophilic esophagitis (EOE) in an individual, comprising stering to the individual a therapeutically effective amount of at least one PCT/G82012/000904 CRTH2 antagonist and at least one proton pump inhibitor (PPI).

EoE is characterised by an allergic response with involvement of mast cells and Th2 cells, in addition to eosinophils. The number of IgE~bearing mast cells is elevated in EOE tissue and examination of the mast cell transcriptome in such tissue has demonstrated the ce of mast cell ts such as carboxpeptidase A3 and tryptase (Abonia et at, J y Clin. l. [26.140449 (2010)). The Th2 cell—derived cytokines interleukin 4, 5, and 13 are also elevated in EOE tissue (Blanchard et al, J. Allergy Clin. Immunol. 127:208-217 (2011)). Factors produced by activated mast cells and Th2 cells d to antigens in esophageal tissue are likely to be important in promoting tissue eosinophilia and other aspects of disease pathology. glandin D2 (PGD2) is one such product that is produced in high concentrations by mast cells and Th2 cells in response to logical activation (Pettipher, Br. J. Pharmacol. 153 Suppl. 1:3]91-8199 ) and causes activation of Th2 cells, eosinophils, and basophils h a high affinity interaction with the G protein coupled receptor CRTH2 (chemoattractant receptor—homologous le expressed on Th2 cells - also known as DPZ) (Hirai et al., J Exp. Med. [93:255-261 (2001)). Mast cell-dependent activation of Th2 cells promotingenhanced migration and cytokine production is mediated by PGD2 acting on CRTHZ (Gyles et al., Immunology 119362-368 (2006); Xue et aI., Clin. Exp. Immunol. 156:126—l33 (2009)). Paracrine tion of Th2 cells is also inhibited by CRTHZ antagonists (Vinall at al, Immunology 121:577-584 (2007)). Studies in animal models indicate that genetic ablation of CRTH2 or administration of CRTHZ antagonists is effective in reducing eosinophil and lymphocyte accumulation and Th2 cytokine production in response to allergen in sensitised airways and skin (Pettipher, 2008).
Consequently, it is ed that PGDZ produced by mast cells in response to food allergens or airborne allergens will contribute to eosinophil accumulation and disease pathology in EOE.

EXAMPLE 1 8 Week Study in Patients with Active Eosinophilic Esophagitis Study Design The study was a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, single—center study of (5-fluoro—2-methylquinolin-2~ylmethyl-indo-1~yl)~acetic acid (OC000459) for 8 weeks in patients with active (220 eos/hpf and symptoms), corticosteroid-dependent, and/or -resistant eosinophilic esophagitis (EOE). The study compared patients taking 100 mg of OC000459 twice daily with patients taking a o twice daily. The study consisted of 26 patients with 14 patients taking OC000459 and 12 patients taking the placebo. Pre- and post-treatment disease-activity was assessed clinically, endoscopically, histologically, and via biomarkers. The primary endpoint was the reductiozi of the esophageal eosinophil load.

However, the effect of drug was more in the distal pronounced in the al upper esophagus than esophagus. The to placebo is shown in Figure 1. difference in % change in eosinophil load compared These data indicate that eosinophii infiltration in the upper gus may mediated by CRTHZ but that eosinophil accumulation in the distal esophagus possible explanation for this is that acid reflux may be resistant. A which responsible for the eosinophilic inflammation in the distal esophagus is consistent with repons that eosinophilia is reduced by PPls in some patients with data highlight two er al., 2011). These components of EOE (Molina-Infante CRTHZ and eosinophil accumulation in EOE, an allergic mechanism mediated by is reduced by PPI therapy. It is therefore acid reflux-dependent process which with PPls will be ive in proposed that the combination of CRTl-l2 antagonists the allergic and acid reflux pathways. the treatment ofEOE by blocking both l\lnlcn\o\cn\NRPortbl\DCC\FMT\8161406_|.docx-US/DKIZOIS Three patients were treated with both OC000459 and esomeprazole, either 20 mg or 40 mg once a day. As shown in Figure 2, these patients demonstrated a profound reduction in eosinophilic load compared to those patients taking OC000459 alone. sions OC00459 reduces eosinophilic load in the proximal but not distal esophagus in patients with EOE. When combined with a PPI to reduce acid reflux there is a considerable reduction in total eosinophilic load. Consequently, the combination of a CRTH2 antagonist with a PPI is an effective method to control ation of the esophagus in EOE which may be more convenient and safer than the current use of topical corticosteroids.
