Definitions
- the present invention relates to the field of therapeutic chemistry and more particularly to the field of pharmaceutical technology.
- estroprogestative association characterized in that it is constituted by intake units containing a combination of a progestogen and an estrogen, the two components of which are present simultaneously in each unit intake.
- new pharmaceutical compositions intended for hormone replacement therapy for menopause containing as active principles a progestogen chosen from nomegestrol and its esters and an estrogen agent chosen from estradioi and its esters and conjugated estrogens.
- This combination is intended to be administered orally, continuously or discontinuously.
- This "no rules" scheme is more particularly suitable for women whose menopause is already old. It can be prescribed in sequence with sequential combinations in order to improve long-term adherence to hormone replacement therapy for menopause.
- the dose of progestin chosen is that which leads to long-term less than 1% endometrial hyperplasia when the progestogen is administered discontinuously, more than 10 days per cycle, in postmenopausal women on estrogen replacement therapy (WHITEHEAD et al., J. Reprod. ed, 1982, 27: 539-548, PATERSON et al., Br Med J, 1980, 22 March: 822-824).
- the dose of progestogen to be used in combination replacement therapy is usually deducted from that usually prescribed in the sequential schedules.
- micronized progesterone of didrogesterone (FOX H., BAAK J., VAN DE WEIJER P., AL-AZZAWI E., PATERSON M., JOHNSON A., MICHELL G., BARLOW D.
- Some therapists are however in favor of using it intermittently, for example 25 days per month (BIRKAUSER M et al; Hormonal substitution: a well-indicated indication and individual treatment regimens are determining for the success of treatment, Med and Hyg, 1995, 53: 1770-1773).
- the aim of the therapeutic interruption is to remove the inhibition exerted by the progestogen on the synthesis of estradiol and progesterone receptors and thus avoid the decrease in receptivity of hormone-dependent tissues.
- the progestin used according to the present invention is .nomegestrol or one of its esters, in particular nomegestrol acetate.
- Nomegestrol acetate is a powerful progestin, orally active and which has an original pharmacological profile:
- 17alpha-hydroxyprogesterone derivatives it has a pure pharmacological profile, but unlike these, it has a powerful antigonadotropic effect. It belongs to the category of progestins qualified as hybrids (OETTEL et al, 1999) which do not carry deleterious metabolic effects due to the lack of 17alpha-ethinyl function and which combine the advantages of progesterone derivatives with those more modern derivatives of 19-nortestosterone.
- the estrogen used is estradiol, free or esterified, and in particular estradiol valerate, or natural or synthetic conjugated estrogens or an alkynylated derivative such as ethynyl estradiol, which is presented according to an active formulation by oral route.
- estradiol between 1 and 2 mg / day has been shown to combat hypoestrogenism present in postmenopausal women.
- Nomegestrol acetate and free or esterified estradiol, or equine conjugated estrogens are administered in one of the forms allowing oral administration: capsules, capsules, pills, sachets of powder, tablets, coated tablets, dragees, etc.
- the present invention is characterized in that it constitutes a new estroprogestative association, active by the oral route, administered in a combined manner.
- the present invention also relates to the use of the compositions according to the invention in the correction of estrogen deficiencies, in the prevention of osteoporosis and cardiovascular diseases in postmenopausal women.
- the present invention is also defined by:
- the dose ranges vary from one patent to another in a considerable way, which shows that the equivalence system does not lend credibility to the relationships that could be established between progestogens. 2) Beyond that, one can legitimately think that the doses claimed should be based on clinical pharmacology and / or clinical data previously published and commonly accepted.
- claims 1 and 2 are directed to continuous processing; the only progestogens claimed are dl-norgestrel and levonorgestrel.
- the following claims are directed to multi-sequential discontinuous treatment, that is to say to a therapeutic regimen different from that proposed in the present patent application.
- the progestins claimed are more numerous, but the list is precise and limited as appears from the writing of the Markush type of said claims of the cited reissue and it does not include nomegestrol and its esters.
- nomegestrol acetate is characterized by very good tolerance; it has no action on the lipid profile, the tolerance to carbohydrates, the blood pressure and the coagulation factors even when it is used in doses higher than those described in the present patent application and for treatment of long-term (BASDEVANT et al 1997). This is very important because the goal of using the least toxic replacement therapy possible using the lowest doses possible is common to all therapists.
- nomegestrol acetate differs from many 19-nortestosterone derivatives cited in the PLUNKETT patents, these are progestins which carry androgenic and estrogenic effects which can have consequences on the endometrium, and which have also harmful metabolic effects.
- French patent 2,754,179 in the name of the Applicant Company claims a combination of estradiol and nomegestrol acetate for the replacement, combined treatment of menopause.
- the dose range claimed on the basis of previous experience with nomegestrol acetate in the sequential treatment ranged from 1.5 to 3.75 mg, and was preferably 2.5 mg.
- larger-scale clinical trials have unexpectedly shown that very lower doses of nomegestrol acetate, and in particular from 0.1 mg to 1.00 mg, are capable of ensuring endometrial atrophy and a very good control of bleeding.
- estradiol claimed in this patent ranged from 0.2 to 3 mg.
- estradiol used here are in the estrogen / progestogen ratio thus significantly modified, of 0.5 / 2 instead of 6: 1.
- compositions according to the invention based on nomegestrol acetate and free or esterified estradiol, or conjugated estrogens are administered continuously or intermittently (from 21 to 28 days per month).
- the compositions contain an amount of nomegestrol acetate ranging from 0.1 to 1.8 mg and an amount of free or esterified estradiol, or conjugated estrogens. ranging from 0.5 to 2 mg.
- the optimal formulations contain from 0.125 to 1.0 mg of nomegestrol acetate combined with 0.5 to 1.0 mg of free estradiol or from 0.5 to 1 mg of estradiol ester or of 0.312 0.625 mg of conjugated estrogens or ethynyl estradiol, taken daily.
- estroprogestative combination is intended to compensate for the functional disorders caused by the hypoestrogenism of menopause, while maintaining an atrophy of the endometrium and avoiding in a majority of them the appearance of hemorrhage of deprivation.
- the present invention also relates to a process for obtaining new pharmaceutical compositions which consists in mixing the active principles: nomegestrol or one of its esters and free or esterified or esterified or alkynylated estradiol, or estrogens conjugated with one or more excipients or inert vehicles , non-toxic, pharmaceutically acceptable.
- binding and solubilizing agents mention may be made of binding and solubilizing agents, compression agents, disintegrating agents and slip agents.
- This mixture can be subjected to direct compression or in several stages to form tablets which can be protected on the surface, if desired, by film-coating, coating or coating.
- the production of tablets by direct compression makes it possible to reduce as much as possible the proportion of diluting agents, binding agents, disintegrating agents and slip agents.
- the production of capsules can be done by mixing the active ingredients with an inert diluent and a slip agent.
- the tablets contain, in particular, mass diluting agents such as lactose, sorbitol for direct compression, marketed under the name NEOSORB 60, Palatinite which is the registered trademark for designating an equimolar mixture of [Djglucopyranosido 1 isomer , 6-mannitol and of [D] glucopyranosido 1, 6-glucitol crystallized with two molecules of water, mannitol, sorbitol or the lactose / PVP mixture sold under the name Ludipress.
- the compression binding agents are generally microcrystalline celluloses such as those sold under the name AVICEL PH 101 or AVICEL PH 102.
- Polyvinylpyrrolidone also plays an important role and facilitates the agglomeration of powders and the compressibility of the mass. Polyvinylpyrrolidones of molecular weight between 10,000 and 30,000 are used for this purpose, such as Povidone, Kollidon of grade between 12 and 30.
- the mixture also contains slip or anti-electrostatic agents which prevent the powder from clumping together in the feed hoppers.
- slip or anti-electrostatic agents which prevent the powder from clumping together in the feed hoppers.
- Mention may be made, in this regard, of the colloidal silicas sold under the name AEROSIL 100 or AEROSIL 200.
- the mixture also contains disintegrating agents which allow disintegration or disintegration in accordance with pharmaceutical standards.
- disintegrating agents such as crosslinked vinylpyrrolidone polymers such as those sold under the names Polyplasdone or Polyclar AT, carboxymethyl starches such as those sold under the names Amijel or Explotab, crosslinked carboxymethylcelluloses such as the compound sold under the name AC- DI-SOL.
- the preparation contains lubricants which facilitate the compression and ejection of the tablet on the compressing machines. Mention may be made, as lubricating agents, of glycerol palmitostearate sold under the name Precirol, magnesium stearate, stearic acid or talc.
- the tablets can be coated to ensure their conservation or to facilitate their swallowing.
- the coating agents are either cellulosic, for example cellulose phthalate (Sepifilm, Pharmacoat), or polyvinyl, of the OPADRY PVA or Sepifilm ECL type, or sucrose, like sugar for coating of the Sepisperse DR, AS, AP, OR K type (colored).
- the coated or uncoated tablets can, in addition, be colored on the surface or in the mass, by mineral, vegetable or synthetic dyes (for example quinoline yellow lacquer or E 104 or iron oxides).
- the proportions of the various constituents vary according to the nature of the tablet to be produced.
- the diluting agents vary from 20 to 75% of the total mass, the slip agents from 0.1 to 2% of the total mass, the compression binding agents vary from 2 to 20%, the polyvinylpyrrolidone from 0.5 to 15%, the disintegrants vary from 2 to 5.5% for crosslinked polyvinylpyrrolidone or for carboxymethyl starch, from 2.0 to 3.0% for croscarmellose.
- the amounts of lubricating agents vary according to the nature of the agent from 0.1 to 3.0%.
- compositions according to the invention are intended to be administered once a day. However, depending on the therapeutic needs, the administration can be fragmented (twice a day) or on the contrary, repeated (two tablets per day).
- the following examples illustrate the invention. They do not limit it in any way.
- estradiol premix is made by dissolving the estradiol in an alcoholic solution of microcrystalline cellulose, PVP and lactose, then drying, grinding and sizing. This process is advantageous because the tablets made from an estradiol premix have a significantly improved estradiol dissolution profile compared to those made by direct compression.
- the final mixture may contain 1.5 to 5% of estradiol in povidone (5 to 25%), microcrystalline cellulose (5 to 15%) and lactose (qs 100%). It may be advantageous to introduce an antioxidant such as, for example, alpha-tocopherol or ascorbic acid, during the manufacture of the premix.
- an antioxidant such as, for example, alpha-tocopherol or ascorbic acid
- This premix is introduced into the final mixture to obtain a tablet by direct compression.
- the finished, naked tablets generally weigh 60 to 200 mg and have the following general formula:
- Example formulations (FU ⁇ unit formulation) 185 mg tablets FORMULATIONS FU mg / 1 tablet 185 mg FU%
- Colloidal silica (Aerosil 200) 1,000 0.540
- Example formulations (FU unit formulation) 185 mg tablets
- Colloidal silica (Aerosil 200) 1,000 0.540
- Colloidal silica (Aerosil 200) 1,000,000 0.833
- Colloidal silica (Aerosil 200) 0.440 0.550
- Colloidal silica (Aerosil 200) 0.440 0.550
- These tablets can be dandruff with for example:
- moisture barrier polyvinyl alcohol, titanium dioxide, purified talc, lecithin, xanthan gum, pigments, lacquers
- the number of women ranged from 2 to 11 depending on the group.
- the parameters taken into account were: - the period of onset of periods after cessation of treatment after the 1st and
- the percentage of women who had no genital bleeding during the entire treatment was 40 - 42.5 - 58.1 - 52.4 and 68.1%, respectively, with the doses of 0.125 - 0.625 - 1.25 - 2.5 and 5 mg of nomegestrol acetate per day. The percentages observed are not statistically different between groups, but the relationship between dose and incidence of bleeding is significant.
- the attached tables indicate for each dose of nomegestrol acetate the results of the ultrasound examination and endometrial biopsy performed at the end of the 6 months of treatment.
- the average thickness of the endometrium is not different between the groups.
- the increase in endometrial thickness under treatment is 0.39 mm on average with the lowest dose of nomegestrol acetate. This increase increases slightly with the dose, reaching 1.56 mm in the group of women receiving 5 mg / day of progestogen, but the relationship between variation in thickness and variation in dose does not reach the threshold of statistical significance. .
- the anti-estrogen effect is predominant since it is detectable when the progestogen, administered continuously with an estrogen, is given in low doses. These doses are insufficient to cause secretory changes in the uterine lining. At higher doses and with the same therapeutic regimen, the secretory effect predominates, without however allowing excessive proliferation of the endometrium.
