Description

EXTRUDATE ENZALUTAMIDE COMPOSITIONS

FIELD OF THE INVENTION

The present invention relates to novel oral extrudate pharmaceutical compositions of enzalutamide. Methods of preparing such compositions are also provided.

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

Prostate cancer is the development of cancer in the prostate, a gland in the male reproductive system. Most prostate cancers are slow growing; however, some grow relatively quickly. The cancer cells may spread from the prostate to other parts of the body, particularly the bones and lymph nodes. Prostate cancer is a common cancer in men, especially in the US and in Europe.

Enzalutamide is an androgen receptor signaling inhibitor. The chemical name is 4-{3- [4-cyano-3-(trifluoromethyl)phenyl]-5,5-dimethyl-4-oxo-2-sulfanylide- neimidazolidin-l-yl}-2-fluoro-N-methylbenzamide. The structural formula is:

Enzalutamide is non-hygroscopic, crystalline solid that remain unionized over the physiologic pH range. It is poorly soluble; in particular sparingly soluble in absolute ethanol and practically insoluble in water between pH 1 and 11 , soluble in acetone and N-methyl-2-pyrrolidone (NMP). It is a Class II drug as per the biopharmaceutics classification system. Poor drug solubility however represents a bottleneck for dissolution, which in turn critically affects drug bioavailability.

Enzalutamide is marketed as XTANDI® and used for the treatment of castration- resistant prostate cancer. Enzalutamide also is reported for treating breast cancer, prostate cancer, benign prostate hyperplasia and ovarian cancer.

According to the FDA, XTANDI® is a liquid-filled soft gelatin capsule for oral administration comprising enzalutamide. The recommended dose of XTANDI® is 160 mg, which should be administered orally once daily in the form of four capsules each containing 40 mg of active pharmaceutical ingredient, wherein the active pharmaceutical ingredient is dissolved in the caprylocaproyl polyoxylglycerides solvent (Labrasol®). The administration of XTANDI® is reported to be independent of food uptake. The patient should swallow the whole capsule which should not be chewed, dissolved or opened prior to swallowing.

A disadvantage of the recommended dose is taking four capsules daily (160 mg once daily). Further, these capsules are reported to be very large due to the great amount of Labrasol® necessary to keep the active pharmaceutical ingredient in solution. Due to its large size (capsule size 12) and the high number of capsules that has to be taken, this dosage form is difficult to swallow, in particular for older men, resulting in a poor patient compliance, especially in said important patient group.

Moreover, the above-mentioned composition comprising enzalutamide shows poor dissolution behaviour at acidic conditions, especially under simulated gastric fluid which appears to be incomplete. In particular, the API does not remain dissolved but seems to precipitate. Thus, there remains a need to develop a stable pharmaceutical composition of enzalutamide with improved patient compliance by providing small dosage forms, in weight and in physical volume, in order to be easily swallowable by patients and come in a small number of units per daily recommended dose, preferably in single dosage unit. Recently, in Europe and Japan, a 40 mg and 80 mg XTANDI® tablets were approved which are although smaller in size than the earlier approved 40 mg XTANDI® Capsules, but it would still require 4 or 2 tablets to be administered to meet the recommended dose. Further, there is no single unit dose 160 mg enzalutamide composition approved in any other market. This single unit dose composition would reduce the pill burden and thereby would improve the patient compliance. Further desirable object includes improved dissolution and bioavailability associated with the current softgel dosage form.

US20140179749 discloses solid dispersion compositions of enzalutamide and polymer. The '749 application discloses various enzalutamide compositions which are made by mechanical processes such as spray-drying, spray coating, milling, solvent modified fusion, solvent processes include non-solvent precipitation and hot-melt extrusion. However the single unit dose 160 mg enzalutamide compositions were prepared via spray -drying technology.

WO2015118015 discloses solid adsorbate or solid dispersion compositions of enzalutamide.

WO2015022349 discloses enzalutamide composition in first and second solvent and optionally an oil component, wherein the enzalutamide is present in a dissolved form.

In an attempt to develop novel oral improved enzalutamide compositions, preferably a single unit dose 160 mg enzalutamide composition, the present inventors have surprisingly found that extrudate pharmaceutical compositions of enzalutamide with one or more suitable polymers prepared by using twin screw extrusion or hot melt extrusion resulted in chemically stable compositions having improved drug loading, improved patient compliance and minimize the use of solvents.

(i) enzalutamide,

(ii) one or more polymers, and (iii) one or more pharmaceutically acceptable excipients.

As used herein, the term "oral pharmaceutical composition" refers to an oral dosage form comprising tablets, pills, sachets, or capsules. The preferred oral dosage form is in the form of capsule or tablet. The term "extrudate oral pharmaceutical composition" refers to the compositions prepared by twin screw extrusion or hot melt extrusion using a conventional extruder well known in the art.

For example, the composition is obtained by solidifying a poorly water-soluble drug and a polymer through hot-melt extrusion improves bioavailability of the drug because the drug is molecularly dispersed in an amorphous form in the polymer carrier and the apparent solubility of the drug shows a marked increase. Further, the hot-melt extrusion can avoid using a solvent so that it has various advantages over spray-dried composition recently approved. For example, the hot-melt extrusion can be applied to a drug not stable in water, is safe and environmentally friendly because of unnecessity of solvent recovery, can save energy spent for the solvent recovery, and provides a working environment with improved safety. Still further, differing from conventional batch production, this method permits continuous production so that it has attracted attentions also from the standpoint of hourly productivity and consumption energy.

The term "enzalutamide" refers to enzalutamide and esters, salts, or derivatives thereof. Enzalutamide could be crystalline or amorphous (i.e., in a non-crystalline state) forms as known in the prior art. Amorphous enzalutamide may be prepared by any known means, including spray-drying, hot melt extrusion, and precipitation from solution on addition of a non-solvent. Amorphous enzalutamide dissolves more quickly and to a greater extent than crystalline enzalutamide in an aqueous use environment, such as an aqueous dissolution medium of an in vitro dissolution test (e.g., phosphate buffered saline or model fasted duodenal fluid or simulated gastric fluid) or the in vivo environment of the stomach or small intestine. The amount of enzalutamide present in the extrudate compositions is about 10 to 250 mg, preferably from 20 to 160 mg.

Polymers suitable for use in the extrudate compositions of the present specification are inert, are pharmaceutically acceptable (i.e. are non-toxic), and have at least some solubility in aqueous solution at physiologically relevant pH (e.g. 1-10). The polymers may be cellulosic or non-cellulosic. The polymers may be neutral or ionizable in aqueous solution.

Exemplary neutral non-ionizable cellulosic polymers of the present specification include hydroxypropyl methyl cellulose acetate, hydroxypropyl methyl cellulose, hydroxypropyl cellulose, methyl cellulose, hydroxyethyl methyl cellulose, hydroxyethyl cellulose acetate, hydroxyethyl ethyl cellulose and any mixtures thereof.

Exemplary cellulosic polymers that are at least partially ionized at physiologically relevant pH include: hydroxypropyl methyl cellulose acetate succinate (HPMC-AS), hydroxypropyl methyl cellulose succinate, hydroxypropyl cellulose acetate succinate, hydroxyethyl methyl cellulose succinate, hydroxyethyl cellulose acetate succinate, hydroxypropyl methyl cellulose phthalate, hydroxyethyl methyl cellulose acetate succinate, hydroxyethyl methyl cellulose acetate phthalate and any mixtures thereof. A particularly desirable subset of cellulosic ionizable polymers are those that possess both a carboxylic acid functional aromatic substituent and an alkylate substituent and thus are amphiphilic.

In some embodiments, the polymers used in the present specification comprises neutral non-cellulosic polymers, including, but not limited to, vinyl polymers and copolymers having substituents of hydroxyl, alkylacyloxy and cyclicamido polyvinyl alcohols that have at least a portion of their repeat units in the unhydrolyzed (vinyl acetate) form, polyvinyl alcohol polyvinyl acetate copolymers; polyvinyl pyrrolidone; polyvinylpyrrolidone vinyl acetate; and polyethylene polyvinyl alcohol copolymers.

Another class of polymers comprises ionizable non-cellulosic polymers, including, but not limited to, carboxylic acid-functionalized vinyl polymers, such as the carboxylic acid functionalized polymethacrylates and carboxylic acid functionalized polyacrylates such as the EUDRAGIT®.

Non-cellulosic polymers that are amphiphilic are copolymers of a relatively hydrophilic and a relatively hydrophobic monomer. Examples include acrylate and methacrylate copolymers. Commercial grades of such copolymers include the EUDRAGIT®, which are copolymers of methacrylates and acrylates; and graft copolymers of polyethylene glycol, polyvinylcaprolactam, and polyvinylacetate, one commercially available version of a graft copolymer known as SOLUPLUS®.

The amount of polymer used in the extrudate pharmaceutical compositions of the present specification relative to the amount of enzalutamide may vary widely. Preferably, the amount of enzalutamide and polymer are present in a weight ratio from about 1 :05 to 1 :5, e.g. 1 :0.7, 1 :1, 1.2. In one aspect, the present specification relates to an oral extrudate pharmaceutical composition comprising:

(i) 160 mg enzalutamide, and

(ii) one or more polymers, wherein the amount of enzalutamide and polymer are present in a weight ratio from about 1 :05 to 1 :3.

(i) 80 mg enzalutamide, and
