Description

METHODS OF ADMINISTRATION OF THROMBOPOIETIN AGONIST COMPOUNDS
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
Field of the Invention
The present invention relates to compounds that modulate/activate the human thrombopoietin receptor. Suitably, the method relates to methods of treating thrombocytopenia by administration of 3'-[(2Z)-[1-(3,4-dimethylphenyl)-1 ,5-dihydro-3- methyl-5-oxo-4H-pyrazol-4-ylidene]hydrazino]-2'-hydroxy-[1 , 1 '-biphenyl]-3-carboxylic acid or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof, suitably the bis-(monoethanolamine) salt, (hereinafter the bis-(monoethanolamine) salt is Compound A; which is a compound is represented by Structure I:
Figure imgf000002_0001
and Compound B refers to the corresponding salt free compound or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof).
Description of the Related Art
Thrombopoietin (TPO), also referred to as c-Mpl ligand, mpl ligand, megapoietin, and megakaryocyte growth and development factor, is a glycoprotein that has been shown to be involved in production of platelets. See e.g., Wendling, F., et. al., Biotherapy 10(4):269-77 (1998); Kuter DJ. et al., The Oncologist, 1 :98-106(1996); Metcalf, Nature 369: 519-520 (1994). TPO has been cloned and its amino acid sequence and the cDNA sequence encoding it have been described. See e.g., U.S. 5,766,581 ; Kuter, DJ. et al., Proc. Natl. Acad. ScL, 91 :11 104-1 1108 (1994); de Sauvage F.V., et al., Nature, 369: 533-538 (1994); Lok, S. et al., Nature 369:565-568 (1994); Wending, F. et al., Nature, 369: 571-574 (1994).
In certain instances, TPO activity results from binding of TPO to the TPO receptor (also called MPL). The TPO receptor has been cloned and its amino acid sequence has been described. See e.g., Vigon et al., Proc. Natl. Acad. ScL, 89:5640- 5644 (1992).
In certain instances, TPO modulators may be useful in treating a variety of hematopoietic conditions, including, but not limited to, thrombocytopenia. See e.g., Baser et al. Blood 89:3118-3128 (1997); Fanucchi et al. New Engl. J. Med. 336:404- 409 (1997). For example, patients undergoing certain chemotherapies, including but not limited to chemotherapy and/or radiation therapy for the treatment of cancer, or exposure to high levels of radiation may have reduced platelet levels. Treating such patients with a TPO agonist compound increases platelet levels. In certain instances, selective TPO modulators stimulate production of glial cells, which may result in repair of damaged nerve cells.
Generally, an increase in platelet count to a therapeutically beneficial level in a subject occurs after a prolonged period of time during a treatment regimen. For example, the increase in platelet count to a therapeutically beneficial level in a subject using a maintenance dose of a TPO modulator may occur after a week of treatment.
The standard dosing amount for the compound of the invention is generally considered to align with the amounts disclosed in International Application No. PCT/US07/074918, having an International filing date of August 1 , 2007; International Publication Number WO 2008/136843 and an International Publication date of November 13, 2008, in which the highest dose prepared is a 100mg tablet. However, the amounts described in PCT/US07/074918, specifically a 50mg, 75mg and 100mg dose, were found to not meet the target platelet improvement counts in patients receiving carboplatin/paclitaxel as presented at the Multinational Association of Supportive Cancer Care - Annual Meeting, 2007 in a poster titled: Efficacy and safety of eltrombopag, a novel, oral platelet growth factor on platelet counts in patients with cancer receiving carboplatin/paclitaxel chemotherapy - by Baranwal et al.
It would be useful to provide a novel therapy which provides more effective and/or enhanced treatment using 3'-[(2Z)-[1-(3,4-dimethylphenyl)-1 ,5-dihydro-3- methyl-5-oxo-4H-pyrazol-4-ylidene]hydrazino]-2'-hydroxy-[1 , 1 '-biphenyl]-3-carboxylic acid or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION It is to be understood that both the foregoing general description and the following detailed description are exemplary and explanatory only and are not restrictive of the invention claimed. Definitions
Unless specific definitions are provided, the nomenclatures utilized in connection with, and the laboratory procedures and techniques of, analytical chemistry, synthetic organic chemistry, and medicinal and pharmaceutical chemistry described herein are those known in the art. Standard chemical symbols are used interchangeably with the full names represented by such symbols. Thus, for example, the terms "hydrogen" and "H" are understood to have identical meaning. Standard techniques may be used for chemical syntheses, chemical analyses, pharmaceutical preparation, formulation, and delivery, and treatment of patients.
The term "TPO activity" refers to a biological activity that is known to result, either directly or indirectly from the presence of TPO. Exemplary TPO activities include, but are not limited to, proliferation and or differentiation of progenitor cells to produce platelets; hematopoiesis; growth and/or development of glial cells; repair of nerve cells; and alleviation of thrombocytopenia.
The term "thrombocytopenia" refers to a condition wherein the concentration of platelets in the blood of a patient is below what is considered normal for a healthy patient. In certain embodiments, thrombocytopenia is a platelet count less than 450,000, 400,000, 350,000, 300,000, 250,000, 200,000, 150,000, 140,000, 130,000, 120,000, 1 10,000, 100,000, 75,000, or 50,000 platelets per microliter of blood.
The term "loading dose" as used herein will be understood to mean a single dose or short duration regimen of Compound A or Compound B having a dosage higher than the maintenance dose administered to the subject to rapidly increase the blood concentration level of the drug. Suitably, a short duration regimen for use herein will be from: 1 to 14 days; suitably from 1 to 7 days; suitably from 1 to 3 days; suitably for three days; suitably for two days; suitably for one day. In some embodiments, the "loading dose" can increase the blood concentration of the drug to a therapeutically effective level. In some embodiments, the "loading dose" can increase the blood concentration of the drug to a therapeutically effective level in conjunction with a maintenance dose of the drug. The "loading dose" can be administered once per day, or more than once per day (e.g., up to 4 times per day).
The term "high dose" as used herein will be understood to mean a daily dosing regimen of Compound A or Compound B having a dosage higher than the maintenance dose administered to the subject to rapidly increase the blood concentration level of the drug when the subject is experiencing extreme thrombocytopenic situations. Such extreme thrombocytopenic situations can result from: treatment with therapeutic agents, such as chemotherapeutic agents; diseases, such as cancer and precancerous conditions; and organ failure, such as liver failure; and are, for example, when the attending doctor considers the subject is in danger of a catastrophic hemorrhage. In some embodiments, the "high dose" can increase the blood concentration of the drug to a therapeutically effective level. The "high dose" can be administered once per day in one dosage formulation, or in multiple dosage formulations more than once per day (e.g., up to 4 times per day). Suitably, as used herein, a "high dose" for use herein is an amount greater than the amounts disclosed in International Application No. PCT/US07/074918, having an International filing date of August 1 , 2007; International Publication Number WO 2008/136843 and an International Publication date of November 13, 2008, in which the highest dose prepared is a 10Omg tablet, and not greater than about 400mg.
The term "maintenance dose" as used herein will be understood to mean a dose that is serially administered (for example., at least twice), and which is intended to either slowly raise blood concentration levels of the compound to a therapeutically effective level, or to maintain such a therapeutically effective level. The maintenance dose is generally administered once per day and the daily dose of the maintenance dose is lower than the total daily dose of the loading dose.
Unless otherwise defined, in all dosing protocols described herein, the regimen of compound administered - whether a loading dose, high dose or maintenance dose regimen - does not have to commence with the start of treatment and terminate with the end of treatment, it is only required that the number of consecutive days in which the compound is administered, or the indicated dosing protocol, occur at some point during the course of treatment.
By the term "treating" and derivatives thereof as used herein, is meant therapeutic therapy. In reference to a particular condition, treating means: (1 ) to ameliorate or prevent the condition of one or more of the biological manifestations of the condition, (2) to interfere with (a) one or more points in the biological cascade that leads to or is responsible for the condition or (b) one or more of the biological manifestations of the condition, (3) to alleviate one or more of the symptoms, effects or side effects associated with the condition or treatment thereof, or (4) to slow the progression of the condition or one or more of the biological manifestations of the condition. Prophylactic therapy is also contemplated thereby. The skilled artisan will appreciate that "prevention" is not an absolute term. In medicine, "prevention" is understood to refer to the prophylactic administration of a drug to substantially diminish the likelihood or severity of a condition or biological manifestation thereof, or to delay the onset of such condition or biological manifestation thereof. Prophylactic therapy is appropriate, for example, when a subject is considered at high risk for developing thrombocytopenia such as because the subject was exposed to high levels of radiation, for example exposure to high levels of radiation due to a nuclear accident.
As used herein, the term "effective amount" and derivatives thereof means that amount of a drug or pharmaceutical agent that will elicit the biological or medical response of a tissue, system or human that is being sought, for instance, by a researcher or clinician. Furthermore, the term "therapeutically effective amount" and derivatives thereof means any amount which, as compared to a corresponding subject who has not received such amount, results in improved treatment, healing, prevention, or amelioration of a disease, disorder, or side effect, or a decrease in the rate of advancement of a disease or disorder. The term also includes within its scope amounts effective to enhance normal physiological function.
The pharmaceutically acceptable salts of the compounds of the invention are readily prepared by those of skill in the art.
Compound A and Compound B are disclosed and claimed, along with pharmaceutically acceptable salts, hydrates, solvates and esters thereof, as being useful as agonists of the TPO receptor, particularly in enhancing platelet production and particularly in the treatment of thrombocytopenia, in International Application No. PCT/US01/16863, having an International filing date of May 24, 2001 ; International Publication Number WO 01/89457 and an International Publication date of November 29, 2001 , the entire disclosure of which is hereby incorporated by reference. Compound A and Compound B can be prepared as described in International Application No. PCT/US01/16863. The bis-(monoethanolamine) salt of Compound B (which is Compound A) is described in International Application No. PCT/US01/16863, is described in International Application No. PCT/US03/16255, having an International filing date of May 21 , 2003; International Publication Number WO 03/098992 and an International Publication date of December 4, 2003.
When referring to methods for administration, the term "coadministering" and derivatives thereof as used herein is meant either simultaneous administration or any manner of separate sequential administration of Compound A or Compound B, as described herein, and a further active agent or agents, as described herein. Preferably, if the administration is not simultaneous, the compounds are administered in a close time proximity to each other. Furthermore, it does not matter if the compounds are administered in the same dosage form, e.g. one compound may be administered topically and another compound may be administered orally.
TPO is known to have various effects including anti-apoptotic/survival effects on megakaryocytes, platelets and stem cells, and proliferative effects on stem cells and megakaryocyte cells (Kuter D. J. Seminars in Hematology, 2000, 37, 41-9). These TPO activities effectively increase the number of stem and progenitor cells so that there is synergistic effects when TPO is used in conjunction with other cytokines that induce differentiation.
Compound A and Compound B of the current invention are also useful in acting on cells for survival and/or proliferation in conjunction with other agents known to act on cells for survival and/or proliferation. Such other agents, or "further active ingredients" as used herein when referring to administration with Compound A or Compound B include but are not limited to: G-CSF, GM-CSF, TPO, M-CSF, EPO, Gro- beta, IL-11 , SCF, FLT3 ligand, LIF, IL-3, IL-6, IL-1 , Progenipoietin, NESP, SD-01 , or IL-5 or a biologically active derivative of any of the aforementioned agents, KT6352 (Shiotsu Y. et al., Exp. Hemat. 1998, 26, 1 195-1201 ), uteroferrin (Laurenz JC, et al. Comp. Biochem. & Phvs.. Part A. Physiology.. 1997, 1 16, 369-77), FK23 (Hasegawa T., et al. Int. J. Immunopharm., 1996, 18 103-1 12) and other molecules identified as having anti- apoptotic, survival or proliferative properties for stem cells, progenitor cells, or other cells expressing TPO Receptors.
As used herein Compound A and Compound B can be collectively referred to as "TPO modulator" or "TPO modulators".
As used throughout the specification and the claims all weights, amounts, indicated dosage quantities and the like, of Compound A and Compound B are indicated as the salt free or free acid amount. Further, it is understood that the compounds of the invention are generally administered in a pharmaceutical composition. The methods of the invention specifically include administration of Compound A and Compound B in pharmaceutical compositions in the specification and in the claims.
Treatment Regimens
In some embodiments, a loading dose of the TPO modulator can be administered to a subject to provide a therapeutic amount of Compound A or Compound B in the subject more rapidly than would occur by repeated smaller doses of said compounds for the treatment of thrombocytopenia or neutropenia.
Certain compounds that modulate TPO activity require a significant period of time to achieve a therapeutic effect. Accordingly the loading dose of the TPO modulator can be a multiple of the quantity of the selected compound administered per day as a maintenance dose of said compound. Further, the loading dose can be administered in increments form 1 to 4 times a day. For example, the total loading dose can be from about 2 times to about 8 times the quantity of the selected compound administered per day as a maintenance dose of said compound. The loading dose of Compound A or Compound B can be administered once a day or it can be divided into smaller portions and administered from 2 to about 4 times a day. Suitably, the loading dose can be administered in an amount ranging from about 50 mg to about 150 mg administered from 2 to 4 times in a day for from about 1 to 7 days, or in an amount ranging from about 200 mg to about 600 mg administered once a day for from about 1 to 7 days. The amount of Compound A or Compound B administered in an individual loading dose can be from about 50 mg to about 600 mg, from about 50 mg to about 500 mg, or from about 100 mg to about 300 mg, in some embodiments the loading dose can be administered more than once a day. Suitably, the amount of Compound A or Compound B administered in an individual loading dose can be from about 50 mg to about 600 mg. For example, an individual loading dose can be 50 mg, 75 mg, 100 mg, 150 mg 200 mg, 300 mg, 400 mg, 500 mg or 600 mg of the TPO modulator.
The maintenance dose of Compound A, Compound B or pharmaceutically acceptable salts of Compound B administered is an amount from about 25 mg to about 150 mg once a day for at least two days, suitably for at least 5 days, suitably for at least 7 days, suitably for at least 14 days.
Some embodiments provide a method of increasing blood platelet counts in a subject comprising administering a loading dose of Compound A or Compound B followed by a maintenance dose regimen. In some embodiments, the blood platelet counts can increase from about 30% to about 40% from baseline, from about 40% to about 50% from baseline, from about 50% to about 60% from baseline, from about 60% to about 80% from baseline, from about 50% to about 60% from baseline, from about 60% to about 80% from baseline, from about 80% to about 100% from baseline, or from about 100% to about 150% from baseline based on administration of the loading dose regimen. . For example, the blood platelet counts can increase from about 30% to about 150% from a reading of the blood platelet counts in the subject prior to treatment of a loading dose regimen with Compound A or Compound B.
Some embodiments provide a method of increasing blood platelet counts in a subject comprising administering a loading dose of Compound A or Compound B followed by a maintenance dose of Compound A or Compound B, respectively. In some embodiments, the amount of maintenance dose of Compound A or Compound B can be from about 25 mg to about 75 mg, from about 50 mg to about 100 mg, or from about 75 mg to about 150 mg administered per day.
In some embodiments, the amount of maintenance dose can be from about 25 mg to about 150 mg per day and the amount of loading dose can be from about 200 mg to about 600 mg per day. For example, the amount of maintenance dose can be from about 25 mg to about 100 mg per day and the amount of loading dose can be from about 200 mg to about 500 mg per day. Suitably, the amount of maintenance dose can be from about 25 mg to about 75 mg and the amount of loading dose can be from about 200 mg to about 400 mg per day. Some embodiments provide a method of treating neutropenia in a subject comprising administering a loading dose of Compound A or Compound B followed by a maintenance dose of Compound A, Compound B or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt of Compound B, respectively. In some embodiments, the amount of maintenance dose of Compound A or Compound B can be from about 25 mg to about 150 mg, from about 25 mg to about 100 mg, or from about 50 mg to about 75 mg administered per day.
In some embodiments, a steady state blood plasma concentration can be reached within 24 hrs of administration of a single dose of a TPO modulator. For example, the steady state blood plasma concentration can be reached by administration of TPO modulator in an amount ranging from about 150 mg to about 600 mg, from about 200 mg to about 500 mg, from about 300 mg to about 450 mg, and from about 300 mg to about 600 mg.
In some embodiments, a steady state blood plasma concentration of a TPO modulator can be attained in a subject by using a loading dose of a TPO modulator and a subsequent maintenance dose of the TPO modulator. In some embodiments, the amount of the maintenance dose administered to the subject per day can be from about 10% to about 50% of the loading dose. Suitably, the amount of the maintenance dose administered to the subject per day can be from about 20% to about 50% of the loading dose. Suitably, the amount of the maintenance dose administered to the subject per day can be from about 25% to about 50% of the loading dose.
In some embodiments, a treatment regimen including a loading dose of a TPO modulator can increase the blood platelet count in a subject faster than a treatment regimen without a loading dose. For example, the loading dose of the TPO modulator can be administered to the subject on day one of the treatment regimen followed by administration of a maintenance dose during the remainder of the treatment regimen. In contrast, a treatment regimen can have a maintenance dose of a TPO modulator administered to the subject on day one and continued throughout the remainder of the treatment regimen. The treatment regimen with the loading dose of the TPO modulator can increase the blood platelet count faster than the treatment regimen without the loading dose. In a typical embodiment, the loading dose of the TPO modulator can be from about 2 times to about 6 times the quantity of the TPO modulator administered in the maintenance dose. For example, if the loading dose is 200 mg of the TPO modulator than the maintenance dose can range from about 25 mg to about 100 mg of the TPO modulator, if the loading dose is 300 mg of the TPO modulator than the maintenance dose can range from about 50 mg to about 150 mg of the TPO modulator, if the loading dose is 600 mg of the TPO modulator than the maintenance dose can range from about 75 mg to about 150 mg of the TPO modulator.
