Definitions
- NSAID non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs
- Edema is an abnormal accumulation of fluid in the tissue spaces, cavities, or joint capsules of the body, causing swelling of the area. Edema can occur in the tissues or body spaces such as the plural cavities or the peritoneal space. Clinically, edema has variable consequences depending on the site and severity of the edema. For example, subdermal edema may only manifest as mild swelling manifest by tight shoes. In contrast, chronic, severe subdermal edema can cause skin break down, ulceration and serious infection.
- ascites edema in the paritoneal space
- ascites can be complicated by difficulty to treat bacterial peritonitis. See, e.g., Harrison's Internal Medicine, 16 th edition, p.213-214.
- edema occurs when there is an elevation in capillary hydraulic pressure, and/or an increase in capillary permeability or when the interstitial oncotic pressure exceeds the plasma oncotic pressure.
- Such changes can result from a variety of conditions and diseases.
- congestive heart failure the activation of the renin-angiotensin system causes volume overload which results in increased capillary hydraulic pressure.
- the kidneys control extracellular fluid volume by adjusting sodium and water excretion.
- renal function is impaired, edema can result.
- the reduced production of serum proteins such as albumin result in a decrease in the plasma oncotic pressure relative to interstitial onccotic pressure resulting fluid shifts into the intersitum.
- Venous insufficiency is a common cause of edema of the lower extremities from an increase in capillary hydraulic pressure.
- Harrison's Internal Medicine 1 6 1 edition, p.213-214 ; O'Brian et al.. Treatment of Edema, American Family Physician, 71 (1 1). 21 1 1 -17.
- drugs can cause edema including steroid hormones, vasodilators such as hydralazine, estrogens, NSAIDs, immunomodulators such as interleukin 2, and calcium channel blockers.
- vasodilators such as hydralazine
- estrogens such as hydralazine
- NSAIDs such as adilator
- immunomodulators such as interleukin 2, and calcium channel blockers.
- the pathophysiology of drug induced edema is similarly wide ranging. Such mechanisms include, drug induced vasodilation (e.g. hydralazine), drug effects on the kidneys' sodium excretion (e.g., steroids), and capillary damage (e.g., interleukin 2).
- Drug induced edema is usually dose-dependent and its severity increases over time.
- Harrison's Internal Medicine 16 th edition, p.213-214; O'Brian et al., Treatment of Edema, American Family Physician,
- NSAIDs can cause edema.
- the mechanism for NSAID induced edema has been postulated to be from renal vasoconstriction. Harrison's Internal Medicine, 16th edition, p.213-214.
- NSAIDs inhibit cyclogenases (COX), the enzymes that catalyzes formation of various prostaglandins.
- COX cyclogenases
- the two principle COX isoforms are COX-1 and COX-2. Studies have shown that both therapeutic and side effects of NSAIDs are dependent on COX-1 and COX-2.
- Celebrex (celecoxib) is a prototypic selective COX-2 inhibitor and the first page of the Celebrex (celecoxib) Package Insert lists edema as an "adverse reaction.”
- Table 1 of this Package Insert discloses that 2.1% of patients treated with celecoxib develop edema, as compared to 1.1%, 2.1 %, 1.0%,, and 3.5 % for placebo, naproxen, diclofenac, and ibuprofen, respectively.
- Moore et al.'s review of the tolerability and rate of adverse events in clinical trials of celecoxib found that the incidence of edema at any site was usually about 3%, but in two trials the incidence of edema much higher at 23%> and 38%>.
- compositions for treating pain without inducing edema comprising a NSAID and an anti-hypertensive, wherein the composition is administered in a fixed-dose combination.
- NSAID is a COX-2 inhibitor, preferably the NSAID is celecoxib, said method comprising:
- PK pharmacokinetic
- step d if pain control is adequate, toxicity is tolerable, and the patient is not experiencing edema, maintaining the first patient on the NSAID formulation at frequency of administration that satisfied the comparison in step d.
- compositions and methods for individualizing therapy of arthritic pain are disclosed herein.
- FIG. 1 is a scatterplot graph displaying the relationship between LPS-stimulated plasma PGE2 ex vivo, an index of NSAID activity, and log plasma concentrations of celecoxib 2, 4, 6, and 24 hours after dosing.
- PGE2 is expressed as a percentage of predosing values. A steep but variable dose-response is evident. (P , 0.01 vs. placebo) (from McAdam et al. Systemic biosynthesis of prostacyclin by cyclooxygenase (COX)-2: the human pharmacology of a selective inhibitor of COX-2. PNAS. 1999; 96:272-7.)
- FIG. 2 depicts the pharmacokinetic parameters produced by different doses of celecoxib.
- FIG. 3 displays the result of a meta-analysis of the one dose AUC from patients in different age groups.
- FIG. 4 displays the result of a meta-analysis of the celecoxib dose dependence of edema.
- FIG. 5 displays the result of a regression analysis of the celecoxib dose dependence of edema.
- FIGS. 6-1 1 display the incidence of edema for celecoxid given alone or with other drugs.
- HCTZ hydrochlorothiazide
- CCB calcium channel blocker
- ARB angiotensin receptor blocker
- ACE angiotensin converting enzyme inhibitor
- non-thiazide diuretic beta blocker; Any, any other drug.
- the invention provides compositions and methods for individualized therapy of pain, including but not limited to arthritic pain, using a NSAID, preferably a COX-2 inhibitor, and an anti-hypertensive (e.g., lisinopril).
- a NSAID preferably a COX-2 inhibitor
- an anti-hypertensive e.g., lisinopril
- the high patient to patient variability in response to a dose of any NSAID and/or anti-hypertensive makes the mere clinical monitoring of patients an inadequate way to treat patients with this class of drugs. Even the measurement of "blood levels" (i.e., the ocasional measurement of the drug's concentration in the plasma) is unlikely to lead to effective nontoxic regimens.
- PK pharmacokinetic
- the claimed methods go beyond the measurement of a single blood level at a single time point. Instead, the claimed methods make use of data on the plasma drug concentraion from several time points (at least 2, peferably at least 12 over 72 hours) and take advantage of the full scope of PK parameters to generate a PK Profile of a patient for a particular drug.
- individualized therapy refers to a specific treatment regimen for a patient comprising the administration of one or more drugs, which is the result of analyzing pharmacokinetic and/or pharmacodynamic parameters of the subject to maximize drug efficacy at the lowest dosage of the drug(s) possible.
- pain refers to physical suffering or discomfort caused by an illness or injury, e.g., arthritis.
- osteoarthritic pain refers to pain resulting from osteoarthritis.
- formulation refers to a combination of active ingredients and pharmaceutically acceptable carriers wherein each is present in a dosage form at fixed ratios to one another (i.e., fixed percentages of each ingredient in the dosage form.)
- first COX-2 inhibitor formulation is the NSAID formulation comprising a first dose of a NSAID combined with a dose of anti-hypertensive and, optionally, pharmaceutically acceptable carriers in specific amounts that is administered to the patient to begin the process by which PK parameters are determined .
- the "new COX-2 inhibitor formulation” is the formulation designed based on the PK parameters produced by the first COX-2 inhibitor formulation. As such, the “new COX-2 inhibitor formulation” may have a change in the dose of the COX-2 inhibitor, the dose of the anti-hypertensive or the compostion of the carrier. Alternatively, the compostion of the carrier may be changed while the doses of the COX-2 inhibitor and the anti-hypertensive remain the same.
- the new COX-2 inhibitor formulation comprising a first dose of a NSAID combined with an anti-hypertensive in specific amounts formulation may be a second formulation.
- first formulation under a first regimen and “first formulation” refer to the dosage of a NSAID or COX-2 inhibitor formulation that an individual initially receives prior to performing one or more steps of the claimed invention.

- predetermined range of values refers to a range of PK parameters associated with desirable drug efficacy with minimal toxicity determined by a statistical analysis the PK profiles of patients of known outcomes for the formulation administered.
- the predetermined range of values can readily be compared to a patient's values and used to adjust dosages.
- Signal side effects refer to side effects that the patient finds intolerable, impair physiologic functions, and/or put the patient at risk for immobility and/or death or combinations thereof.
- predetermined range of values refers to a range of PK parameters associated with desirable drug efficacy with minimal toxicity determined by a statistical analysis the PK profiles of patients of known outcomes for the formulation administered.
- the identification of said predetermined ranges of values can be accomplished with the aid of data reduction (e.g., factor analysis or principal components analysis) and clustering computer protocols (e.g., K-means or SOMs) (See U.S. Patent Nos. 7,412,333; 8,660,370; 8,990, 135; 9,002,658; 9,026,536; and 9,043,321 .)
- designing refers to changes in the active agent's dose, formulation and/or regiment based on the patient data, using logic and the experience of one of ordinary skill in the art. Said designing may be done in accordance with the invention aided by statistical and data-mining techniques known to those of ordinary skill in the relevant art that can identify the pharmacokinetic parameters and formulation components of greatest importance. It will be appreciated by those of ordinary skill that iterative process claimed herein will lead to steady state PK profiles for the NSAID and the diuretic within 4 - 6 cycles of dose changes and single dose and steady state predetermined ranges will be used as appropriate.
- Principal components analysis is another data reduction method. Suppose that there are a dozen variables, principal components analysis can reduce these to a few (2-3) principal components. Principal components analysis, like factor analysis, can be performed on raw data or on a correlation or a covariance matrix, (see US Patent No. 7,412,333.)
- determining the level of efficacy refers to the use of objective (e.g., pharmacokinetic) and subjective tests (e.g., pharmacodynamic), signs and symptoms to characterize, quantify or evaluate how well symptoms (e.g., pain) are controlled by the administration of the active ingredient (e.g., celecoxib and a anti-hypertensive).
- objective e.g., pharmacokinetic
- subjective tests e.g., pharmacodynamic
- determining the level of toxicity refers to the use of objective and subjective tests, signs and symptoms to characterize, quantify or evaluate the significance of any side effects produced by the administration of the active ingredient.
- pain control is adequate refers to a level of pain the patient is willing to live with and which does not significantly impair the patient's functioning in society or the patient's physiologic functions.
- toxicity is acceptable refers to the absence of significant side effects and a level of toxicity that the patient is willing to live with and does not significantly impair the patient's functioning in society or the patient's physiologic functions.
- trace edema is edema that is just above the threshold for detection on physical exam (inconsistently pitting) and does not significantly impair the patient's functioning in society or the patient's physiologic functions.
- NSAID non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug

- PK results for the 200 mg dose shows a substantial overlap with that of the 100 mg dose. Accordingly, the dose proportionality may not be as is described by the package insert for Celebrex®. As a result of the failure to determine and pursue target PK ranges, in some instances patients receiving 100 mg patients may not get enough of the drug and the 200 mg patients may receive too much of the drug.
- Applicant's meta analysis of the reported PK parameters in different populations demonstrates that the elderly show a higher variability than younger patients.
- AUC drug exposure defined as AUC (FIG. 3).
- the most efficacious celecoxib dosage is not well defined for the elderly.
- the problem is more widespread than expected as elderly here is defined as patients greater than >40 or >50, not the usually definition of elderly (age greater >65).
- both the upper limit of the edema event rate and the average edema event rate in osteoarthritic populations reiceiving a 400 mg/day dose of celecoxib can be more than twice as high as the upper limit edema event rate and the average edema event rate seen in osteoarthritic populations receiving a 100 or 200 mg/day dose of celecoxib (FIGS. 4-5).
- Applicant's meta analysis of the reported edema rates in different osteoarthritic populations receiving doses of celecoxib ranging from 100 mg/day to 800 mg/day reveals that patients receiving a 100 or 200 mg/day dose of celecoxib experience remarkably similar edema event rates.
- This analysis indicates that a patient who is selected to receive a 200 mg/day dose of celecoxib based on, for example, their individual pharmacokinetic data using one or more of the methods described herein, will not be at a higher risk for an edema event than a patient receiving a 100 mg/day dose of celecoxib, and vice versa.
- Applicant has also compared the edema in patient populations receiving celecoxib alone, celecoxib in combination with a variety of antihypertensives.
- a database was created which contains: 1) Claims data from Symphony pertaining to antihypertensives, Statins, COX-2 inhibitors, and NSAIDS. The data span the most recent 36 months and 2) registry data from the ACC reporting Blood Pressure (systolic/diastolic), peripheral edema flags (yes, no, missing), Heart rate, LDL, Glucose Level, Ejection fraction, GFR, Height, Weight, BMI, and the like.
- Symphony dataset is True Patient Level data - All Data Sources be it RX or MX claims is tied back to individual patients which is tracked and then encrypted based on first name, last name, gender, DOB and zip code to give an accurate picture of patient level informatics year over year regardless of insurance changes.
- the source of Managed Markets Rx claims data comes from various providers, including Intelligent network services (Switch Data) as well as direct data feeds from pharmacies that do not use Switches so it does not create payer biases.
- the definition of the Symphony database is as follow: 1 ) Takes Celebrex, Antihypertensive ("AH”), Statin or NSAID or have Osteoarthritis ("OA"), Rheumatoid arthritis ("RA") or some other form of Arthritis for 36 months, 2) Time Frame of Jan 1 , 2012 - Dec 31, 2014 (3 years), 3) Number of files: 201 , 4) File Size: 561 GB zipped ( ⁇ 2.5 TB), 5) Unique Patients: 162 million, 6) Patients on Celebrex: 4.3 million, 7) Patients that have OA 16.3 million (15.4 million only OA), 8) Patients that have RA :2.3 million (1 .4 million only RA).
- the definition for the ACC registry is as follow: 1) Have 3+ BP readings, 2) Time Frame: Jan 1, 2012 - Dec 31 , 2014 (3 years), 3) Number of files : 2, 4) Size: 590 MB, 51 MB, 5) Unique Patients: 1.58 million, 6) Patients with BP readings: 1 .58 million, 7) Patients with Edema Flag True:870K.
- the edema rate was then measured in the aforementioned database .
- the incidence of edema was higher for OA patients than RA, other Arthritis, or Arthritis free patients.
- the incidence of edema increased when patients was taken Celebrex for all groups except for RA and no Arthritis free patients.
- Overall OA seems to be susceptible to Celebrex induced edema. The results confirmed the meta analysis shown above.
