Description

Treatment of vasomotor symptoms
The present invention relates to methods for the treatment of vasomotor symptoms associated with the menopause comprising the administration of a therapeutically effective amount of flibanserin.
Description of the invention
The compound 1 -[2-(4-(3-trifluoromethyl-phenyl)piperazin-1 -yl)ethyl]-2,3-dihydro-1 H- benzimidazol-2-one (flibanserin) is disclosed in form of its hydrochloride in European Patent Application EP-A-526434 and has the following chemical structure:
Figure imgf000002_0001
Flibanserin shows affinity for the 5-HT1A and 5-HT2-receptor. It is therefore a promising therapeutic agent for the treatment of a variety of diseases, for instance depression, schizophrenia, and anxiety.
Women transitioning through the menopausal frequently experience a variety of symptoms which have been attributed to estrogen deprivation due to ovarian failure. Menopause is defined as the cessation of menstruation in women. The timing of the menopause is determenied with hind sight and is established after twelve months of amenorrhoea. Most women experience menopause between the ages of 40 and 55. Menopausal transition is characterized by hot flashes, headaches, night sweats, atrophic vaginitis, frequent urinary tract infections, cold hands and feet, forgetfulness and an inability to concentrate. Emotional indicators of menopause transitioning include anxiety, distress, irritability, mood swings, depression and decreased sex drive. There are many undesirable symptoms too numerous to articulate which are attributed to changes in the female body as she transitions through the menopause. Some of the symptoms, e.g., vulvar and vaginal atrophy can be clearly attributed to estrogen deficiency; however, hot flashes are likely to arise as a result of an alteration in the CNS thermoregulatory set-point located in the anterior portion of the hypothalamus. Hot flashes, also known as "vasomotor flushes" or "hot flushes" are very common in peri- and postmenopausal women. The dilation of peripheral blood vessels results in reddening and warming of the skin during a hot flash. Further symptoms such as increased heart rate, night sweats, headaches, dizziness, weight gain, fatigue and insomnia may be associated with a hot flash. Hot flashes may appear prior to the cessation of the menses and may be the first sign that menopause is approaching. During the perimenopausal period, appr. 75% of women complain of hot flashes. In most of these women the symptoms will last appr. 1 year. About one-third of postmenopausal women will report symptoms that last up to 5 years after natural menopause, and hot flashes can persist for up to 15 years in 20% or more of women. Menopause induced by surgery is associated with about a 90% probability of hot flashes during the first year, and hot flashes associated with surgical menopause are often more abrupt and severe and can last longer than those associated with a non-surgical menopause.
The US Bureau of Census estimates that currently 49 million American women are over the age of 50 years. Thus, over 32 million women in the USA today might have had hot flashes, and up to 6 million might have reported severe symptoms.
Now, experimental results from studies performed in patients with major Depressive Disorder have shown that flibanserin may be useful for the treatment of vasomotor symptoms (e,g, hot flashes, night sweats, moodswings and irritability).
Accordingly, the instant invention relates to a method for the treatment of vasomotor symptoms comprising the administration of a therapeutically effective amount of flibanserin, optionally in form of the free base, the pharmacologically acceptable acid addition salts and/or optionally in form of the hydrates and/or solvates thereof. In an further aspect, the instant invention relates to a method for the treatment of vasomotor symptoms associated with the menopausal transition comprising the administration of a therapeutically effective amount of flibanserin, optionally in form of the free base, the pharmacologically acceptable acid addition salts and/or optionally in form of the hydrates and/or solvates thereof.
As vasomotors symptoms do not only occur due to naturally occurring menopause but may also be also due to surgically (e.g., hysterectomy and bilateral ovarectomy) induced menopause or by the use of medications (e.g. by selective estrogen receptor modulators, GnRH analogues and Aromatase inhibitors), or induced by radioation and chemotherapeutic agents, the present invention relates to a method for the treatment or prevention of vasomotor symptoms associated with iatrogenic induced menopause, comprising the administration of a therapeutically effective amount of flibanserin, optionally in form of the free base, the pharmacologically acceptable acid addition salts and/or optionally in form of the hydrates and/or solvates thereof.
In another embodiment the present invention refers to a method for the treatment of hot flashes, night sweats, moodswings and irritability comprising the administration of a therapeutically effective amount of flibanserin, optionally in form of the free base, the pharmacologically acceptable acid addition salts and/or optionally in form of the hydrates and/or solvates thereof.
Another aspect of the present invention relates to the use of flibanserin for the treatment of moderate to severe vasomotor symptoms associated with a natural or iatrogenic hypogonadal state in men.
Still further aspect of the present invention relates to use of flibanserin for treatment of hot flushes in men, preferably in hypogonadal men, men on androgen deprivation treatment or those who underwent castration. Another embodiment of the invention relates to the use of flibanserin, optionally in form of the free base, the pharmacologically acceptable acid addition salts and/or optionally in form of the hydrates and/or solvates thereof for the preparation of a medicament for the treatment of any one of the above mentioned conditions. As already mentioned above, Flibanserin may be used in form of the free base, optionally in form of its pharmaceutically acceptable acid addition salts and/or optionally in form of the hydrates and/or solvates thereof. Suitable acid addition salts include for example those of the acids selected from, succinic acid, hydrobromic acid, acetic acid, fumaric acid, maleic acid, methanesulphonic acid, lactic acid, phosphoric acid, hydrochloric acid, sulphuric acid, tartaric acid and citric acid. Mixtures of the abovementioned acid addition salts may also be used. From the aforementioned acid addition salts the hydrochloride and the hydrobromide, particularly the hydrochloride, are preferred. If Flibanserin is used in form of the free base, it is preferably used in form of Flibanserin polymorph A as disclosed in WO 03/014079.
Flibanserin, optionally in form of the free base, the pharmacologically acceptable acid addition salts and/or optionally in form of the hydrates and/or solvates, may be incorporated into the conventional pharmaceutical preparation in solid, liquid or spray form. The composition may, for example, be presented in a form suitable for oral, rectal, parenteral administration or for nasal inhalation: preferred forms includes for example, capsules, tablets, coated tablets, ampoules, suppositories and nasal spray.
The active ingredient may be incorporated in excipients or carriers conventionally used in pharmaceutical compositions such as, for example, talc, arabic gum, lactose, gelatine, magnesium stearate, corn starch, acqueous or non acqueous vehicles, polyvynil pyrrolidone, semisynthetic glicerides of fatty acids, benzalconium chloride, sodium phosphate , EDTA, polysorbate 80. The compositions are advantageously formulated in dosage units, each dosage unit being adapted to supply a single dose of the active ingredient. The dosis range applicable per day is between 0.1 to 400, preferably between 1.0 to 300, more preferably between 2 to 200 mg. Each dosage unit may conveniently contain from 0,01 mg to 100 mg, preferably from 0,1 to 50 mg.
Suitable tablets may be obtained, for example, by mixing the active substance(s) with known excipients, for example inert diluents such as calcium carbonate, calcium phosphate or lactose, disintegrants such as corn starch or alginic acid, binders such as starch or gelatine, lubricants such as magnesium stearate or talc and/or agents for delaying release, such as carboxymethyl cellulose, cellulose acetate phthalate, or polyvinyl acetate. The tablets may also comprise several layers.
Coated tablets may be prepared accordingly by coating cores produced analogously to the tablets with substances normally used for tablet coatings, for example collidone or shellac, gum arabic, talc, titanium dioxide or sugar. To achieve delayed release or prevent incompatibilities the core may also consist of a number of layers. Similarly the tablet coating may consist of a number or layers to achieve delayed release, possibly using the excipients mentioned above for the tablets.
Syrups or elixirs containing the active substances or combinations thereof according to the invention may additionally contain a sweetener such as saccharine, cyclamate, glycerol or sugar and a flavour enhancer, e.g of. a flavouring such as vanilline or orange extract. They may also contain suspension adjuvants or thickeners such as sodium carboxymethyl cellulose, wetting agents such as, for example, condensation products of fatty alcohols with ethylene oxide, or preservatives such as p-hydroxybenzoates.
Solutions for injection are prepared in the usual way, e.g of. with the addition of preservatives such as p-hydroxybenzoates, or stabilisers such as alkali metal salts of ethylenediamine tetraacetic acid, and transferred into injection vials or ampoules.
Capsules containing one or more active substances or combinations of active substances may for example be prepared by mixing the active substances with inert carriers such as lactose or sorbitol and packing them into gelatine capsules. Suitable suppositories may be made for example by mixing with carriers provided for this purpose, such as neutral fats or polyethyleneglycol or the derivatives thereof.
The Examples which follow illustrate the present invention without restricting its scope:
Examples
Clinical Trial
In twelve Phase Il clinical studies performed in patients diagnosed with Major Depressive Disorder, more then 1500 male and female subjects aged between 18 and 65 years received one or more doses of flibanserin ranging from 2 mg to 100 mg b.i.d. A preliminary analysis of safety database in these subjects showed that flibanserin was associated with virtually no AEs coded as hot flushes/flushing as compared to placebo (1.25%) or selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (2.1 %). (see table 1 ).
Figure imgf000007_0001
Table 1 :
In Table 1 it is shown that 9 patients of 718 receiving placebo (1.25 %), 5 patients of 275 (1.8 %) or 4 of 145 (2.75 %) receiving Paroxetine or Fluoxetine respectively suffered form flushing or hot flushes. In stark contrast, in the group receiving 50 to 200 mg/day Flibanserin only one out of 802 patients suffered from flushing. These data suggest that flibanserin is useful for the treatment of vasomotor symptoms like hot flushes in menopausal women. Examples of pharmaceutical formulations
