Definitions
- compositions and methods for treating pulmonary arterial hypertension are disclosed.
- Pulmonary arterial hypertension is a complex, multifactorial, progressive syndrome characterized by persistent elevation of pulmonary artery pressure and pulmonary vascular resistance (PVR) that leads to increase in right ventricular afterload and eventually culminates in right heart failure.
- PVR pulmonary vascular resistance
- Right ventricular failure limits cardiac output during exertion.
- the most common symptom at presentation is breathlessness, fatigue, angina, syncope, and abdominal distension, with impaired exercise capacity as a hallmark of the disease.
- Assessing patients with pulmonary' hypertension involves evaluating the severity' of their disease using a range of clinical assessments, exercise tests, detection of specific biochemical markers, and echocardiographic and hemodynamic assessments.
- the clinical assessment of the patient has a pivotal role in the choice of the initial treatment, the evaluation of the response to therapy, and the possible escalation of therapy if needed.
- PAH is classified into five groups (1-5) depending on the severity of the disease.
- group 1 for example, the disease is heritable and commonly induced by drugs and toxins.
- PAH includes idiopathic pulmonary arterial hypertension (IPAH, formerly called primary pulmonary hypertension), hereditary PAH, or PAH due to diseases such as connective tissue diseases, HIV infection, portal hypertension, congenital heart disease, schistosomiasis, and drug or toxin exposure (e.g. anorexigens).
- IPH idiopathic pulmonary arterial hypertension
- PAH due to diseases such as connective tissue diseases, HIV infection, portal hypertension, congenital heart disease, schistosomiasis, and drug or toxin exposure (e.g. anorexigens).
- IPH idiopathic pulmonary arterial hypertension
- PAH due to diseases such as connective tissue diseases, HIV infection, portal hypertension, congenital heart disease, schistosomiasis, and drug or toxin exposure (
- PAH congenital heart disease
- Group 2 patients develop PH due to left heart disease from, inter alia, left ventricular systolic dysfunction, left ventricular diastolic dysfunction, valvular disease, or congenital/acquired left heart inflow/outflow tract obstruction, and congenital car di omy op athi es .
- the PH is due to chronic lung disease and/or hypoxia exhibiting chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, interstitial lung disease, other pulmonary' diseases with mixed restrictive and obstructive pattern, sleep-disordered breathing, alveolar hypoventilation disorders, chronic exposure to high altitude and developmental lung diseases.
- PH is due to chronic thromboembolic pulmonary hypertension and group 5 patients exhibit PH due to unclear multifactorial mechanisms, including hematologic disorders such as chronic hemolytic anemia, myeloproliferative disorders, splenectomy; systemic disorders such as sarcoidosis, pulmonary histiocytosis, lymphangioleiomyomatosis; metabolic disorders, including glycogen storage disease, Gaucher’s disease and thyroid disorders; and other disorders such as tumor/mass obstruction, fibrosing mediastinitis, chronic renal failure, segmental PH.
- hematologic disorders such as chronic hemolytic anemia, myeloproliferative disorders, splenectomy
- systemic disorders such as sarcoidosis, pulmonary histiocytosis, lymphangioleiomyomatosis
- metabolic disorders including glycogen storage disease, Gaucher’s disease and thyroid disorders
- other disorders such as tumor/mass obstruction, fibrosing mediastinitis, chronic renal failure, segmental PH.
- Advanced therapy is directed at the underlying cause of the PH and is warranted in nearly all patients with PH.
- the disease severity should be reassessed following primary therapy, in order to determine whether advanced therapy is indicated.
- Advanced therapy is directed at the pulmonary hypertension itself, rather than the underlying cause of the PH.
- Advanced therapy is widely accepted for many patients with group 1 pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH). In contrast, it should only be administered on a case-by-case basis for patients with group 3 PH, group 4 PH, or group 5 PH, after carefully weighing the risks versus the benefits. Advanced therapy should not be administered to most patients with group 2 PH.
- PAH pulmonary arterial hypertension
- the clinical assessment of the patient has a pivotal role in the choice of the initial treatment, the evaluation of the response to therapy, and the possible escalation of therapy if needed.
- diagnosing patients with pulmonary hypertension involves evaluating the severity of their disease using a range of clinical assessments, exercise tests, identification of biochemical markers, echocardiographic and hemodynamic assessments.
- the clinical severity of PAH is classified according to a system originally developed for heart failure by the New York Heart Association (NYHA) and then modified by WHO for patients with PH.
- This functional classification (I-IV) system links symptoms with activity limitations, and allows clinicians to quickly predict disease progression and prognosis, as well as the need for specific treatment regimens, irrespective of the underlying etiology of PAH.
- Class I patients exhibit PH, but without resulting limitation of physical activity, and ordinary physical activity does not cause dyspnea or fatigue, chest pain, or near syncope.
- Class IT patients exhibit pulmonary hypertension resulting in slight limitation of physical activity. They are comfortable at rest and ordinary physical activity causes undue dyspnea or fatigue, chest pain, or near syncope.
- Class HI are patients with pulmonary hypertension resulting in marked limitation of physical activity, they are comfortable at rest and less than ordinary activity causes undue dyspnea or fatigue, chest pain, or near syncope.
- Class IV are patients with pulmonary hypertension with inability to carry out any physical activity without symptoms. These patients manifest signs of light heart failure. Dyspnea and/or fatigue may even be present at rest, and discomfort is increased by any physical activity.

- chemokines monocyte chemoattractant protein [MCP]-l
- MCP monocyte chemoattractant protein
- Endothelial dysfunction is believed to occur early in disease and this leads to chronically impaired production of vasodilator and antiproliferative agents such as NO and prostacyclin, along with overexpression of vasoconstrictor and proliferative substances such as thromboxane A2 and endothelin-l.
- vasodilator and antiproliferative agents such as NO and prostacyclin
- vasoconstrictor and proliferative substances such as thromboxane A2 and endothelin-l.
- Paracrine overproduction of ET-l, 5-HT, angiotensin II, and FGF-2 contributes to an increased pulmonary vascular cell proliferation, survival, migration, and differentiation.
- Many of these abnormalities both elevate vascular tone and promote endothelial and smooth muscle cell proliferation followed by structural changes or remodeling of the pulmonary vascular bed, which in turn results in an increase in pulmonary vascular resistance.
- extracellular matrix including collagen, elastin, fibronectin, and ten
- PAH-specific drugs include the endothelin receptor antagonists, phosphodiesterase type-5 inhibitors (PDE-5i), including bosentan, sitaxsentan and ambrisentan and others such as sildenafil, tadalafil, or soluble guanylate cyclase stimulators and prostanoids.
- PDE-5i phosphodiesterase type-5 inhibitors
- PAH drugs belong to one of these classes, including, protenoids, for example, epoprostenol (Flolan® and Veletri® intravenous infusions), treprostinil (Remodulin® subcutaneous/IV infusion); Tyvaso® (inhaled X4 time day) , Iloprost ® (inhaled 6-9 times/day).
- protenoids for example, epoprostenol (Flolan® and Veletri® intravenous infusions), treprostinil (Remodulin® subcutaneous/IV infusion); Tyvaso® (inhaled X4 time day) , Iloprost ® (inhaled 6-9 times/day).

- Intravenous epoprostenol was the first US Food and Drug Administration (FDA)-approved treatment for PAH (approved in 1995).
- FDA US Food and Drug Administration
- epoprostenol needs to be delivered as a continuous intravenous infusion through an indwelling catheter, with the risk of rebound PAH and acute right heart failure in case of infusion interruption.
- ice packs are needed to slow decomposition throughout the infusion period.
- thermostable epoprostenol preparation for infusion (Veletri®), which does not require cooling, has been approved for use by the FDA.
- serious adverse events related to the delivery' system include pump malfunction, local site infection, catheter obstruction, and sepsis continues to be a barrier for its use.
- Treprostinil is a longer-acting tricyclic benzidine analogue of epoprostenol with a terminal elimination half-life of approximately 2 to 4 hours and a distribution half-life of approximately 40 minutes. Unlike epoprostenol, Treprostinil is chemically stable at room temperature allowing it to be administered at ambient temperature and overcomes some of the limitations associated with epoprostenol therapy. Treprostinil causes vasodilation of pulmonary and systemic arterial vascular beds, and inhibits platelet aggregation by binding to prostacyclin IP receptors located on the surface of vascular smooth muscle cells and platelets.
- Treprostinil (Remodulin®) was first approved by the FDA in 2002 for adults with WHO group 1 PAH and functional class II to class IV status for continuous subcutaneous infusion and is marketed by United Therapeutics (Silver Spring, MD). In a pivotal 12 week randomized, controlled trial of 470 patients, subcutaneous Treprostinil significantly improved exercise capacity compared with placebo. The most common adverse events noted in subcutaneous infusion of Treprostinil-treated patients were infusion site pain.
- treprostinil diolamine Orenitran®
- Orenitran® an oral, extended release tablet of treprostinil diolamine
- the absorption of treprostinil may be inconsistent particularly taken with food.
- the pharmacological and physiochemical properties of treprostinil make this drug amenable to intermittent administration via the inhaled route.
- Tyvaso® and Iloprost are solutions for inhalation, which need to be administered using a special nebulizer for a prolonged period of time and often times in a physician’s office.
- Tyvaso® inhalation system Opti- Neb ultrasonic nebulizer (NebuTec, Elsenfeld, Germany)].
- the inhalation system is complex to assemble and use, cumbersome to administer the dose (patient need to reset the device 3 times during a treatment session after every 3 breaths) and was found to have high error rates in human factor study.
- breath counter mechanism is triggered by time (time related) and not by inspiration or expiration flow or effort (breath related) and thus patient can overdose or under dose themselves by taking more or less than prescribed breaths (dose) in the 90 seconds time limit.
- the system also requires 4 different cleaning schedule (daily, weekly, monthly and yearly). Accordingly, new methods of PAH treatment are needed to facilitate the administration of these products to a patient.
- Drug delivery to lung tissue has been achieved using a variety of devices for inhalation, including, nebulizers and inhalers, such as metered dose inhalers and dry powder inhalers to treat local disease or disorders.
- Dry powder inhalers used to deliver medicaments to the lungs contain a dose system of a powder formulation usually either in bulk supply or quantified into individual doses stored in unit dose compartments such as hard gelatin capsules or blister packs.
- Bulk containers are equipped with a measuring system operated by the patient in order to isolate a single dose from the powder immediately before inhalation.
- Dosing reproducibility with inhalers requires that the drug formulation is uniform and that the dose be delivered to a subject with consistency and reproducible results. Therefore, the dosing system ideally should operate to completely discharge all of the formulation effectively during an inspiratory maneuver when the patient is taking his/her dose. However, complete powder discharge from the inhaler is not required as long as reproducible dosing can be achieved. Flow properties of the powder formulation, and long term physical and mechanical stability in this respect, are more critical for bulk containers than they are for single unit dose compartments. Good moisture protection for preventing product degradation can be achieved more easily for unit dose compartments such as blisters.
- the materials used to manufacture the blisters allow air into the drug compartment and subsequently, the formulation loses viability with prolonged storage, particularly if the formulation to be delivered is hygroscopic.
- the ambient air permeating through the blisters carries in humidity that destabilizes the active ingredient.
- dry powder inhalers which use blisters to deliver a medicament by inhalation can suffer with inconsistency of dose delivery to the lungs due to variations in geometry of the air conduit architecture resulting from puncturing films or peeling films of the blisters.
- Dry powder inhalers such as those described in U.S. Patents No. 7,305,986, 7,464,706, 8,499,757 and 8,636,001, which disclosures are incorporated herein by reference in their entirety, can generate primary drug particles, or suitable inhalation plumes during an inspiratory maneuver by deagglomerating the powder formulation within a capsule or cartridge comprising a single dose.
- the amount of fine powder discharged from the inhaler's mouthpiece during inhalation is largely dependent on, for example, the inter-particulate forces in the powder formulation and the efficiency of the inhaler to separate those particles so that they are suitable for inhalation.
- the benefits of delivering drugs via the pulmonary circulation are numerous and include rapid entry into the arterial circulation, avoidance of drug degradation by liver metabolism, and ease of use without discomfort.
- a composition is provided in a dry powder inhaler comprising a replaceable cartridge comprising a dry powder for inhalation for delivery to the lungs for local or systemic delivery into the pulmonary circulation.
- the dry powder inhaler is a breath-powered inhaler which is compact, reusable or disposable, has various shapes and sizes, and comprises a system of airflow conduit pathways for the effective and rapid delivery of powder medicament to the lungs and the systemic circulation.
