Definitions
- the present invention relates to pharmaceutical compositions of eflornithine or its pharmaceutical salts or prodrugs thereof in different dosage forms useful for the treatment of and prophylactic intervention against a wide variety of viral infections including COVID-19.
- the present invention also relates to novel dosage forms of eflornithine which can be administered as a monotherapy and optionally in combination with other antiviral or antimicrobial or antimalarial or antiprotozoal medications and vaccines for the prevention and treatment of viral infections.
- RNA viruses are important for the replication of a diverse group of RNA viruses including several viruses involved in recent outbreaks, in vitro and in vivo.
- viruses are Dengue virus, Zika virus, Ebola virus, Chikunguniya virus, Sindhis virus, MERS-CoV virus, Japanese encephalitis virus, Yellow fever virus, Enterovirus, Coxsackie virus, Polio virus, Rift valley fever virus, Vesicular stomatitis virus and Rabies virus (Bryan C.
- DFMO Difluoro-methylomithine
- Eflornithine an FDA-approved drug is used to treat trypanosomiasis and hirsutism, as well as some cancers.
- DFMO irreversibly inhibits ornithine decarboxylase, a critical enzyme in polyamine biosynthesis.
- DFMO is well tolerated in humans, with side effects that are mild and reversible, and can be taken long-term. Additionally, DFMO can be administered via several routes, including orally, and the compound, dissolved in water and at room temperature, is stable for extended periods of time.
- DFMO may be well suited for treatment of viral infection (Bryan C. Mounce, Maria Cesaro, Gonzalo Moratorio et al.; Inhibition of Polyamine Biosynthesis Is a Broad-Spectrum Strategy against RNA Viruses; Journal of Virology; (November 2016) Volume 90; 9683-9692).
- the Eflomithine 13.9% cream formulation (Vaniqa ® ) has been used for treatment of unwanted facial hair in women.
- Another established use of eflomithine is in African trypanosomiasis (sleeping sickness) under brand name Omidyl ® .
- Coronaviruses are a large family of viruses that cause illness ranging from the common cold to more severe diseases such as Middle East Respiratory Syndrome (MERS-CoV) and Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome (SARS-CoV). Coronavirus disease (COVID-19) is a new strain that was discovered in 2019 and has not been previously identified in humans.
- Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) is caused by SARS-COV2 and represents the causative agent of a potentially fatal disease that is of great global public health concern. Based on the large number of infected people that were exposed to the wet animal market in Wuhan City, China, it is suggested that this is likely the zoonotic origin of COVID-19. Person-to-person transmission of COVID-19 infection led to the isolation of patients that were subsequently administered a variety of treatments. Extensive measures to reduce person-to-person transmission of COVID-19 have been implemented to control the current outbreak.

- treatment Arm III out of the 6 patients, one patient showed an ordinal score improvement from 4 to 3 by day 4 and the other patients showed an improvement from 5 to 3 by day 9 and day 14.
- Oxygen free days was assessed as the number of days each patient was having an ordinal score of 3, which meant that there was no requirement for supportive oxygen. Arm III had more number and percentage of oxygen free days as compared to arms I and II, as the number of severe COVID-19 patients recruited in arm III was less when compared to arm I and arm II.
- RT-PCR negative The incidence of RT-PCR negative was assessed across treatment arms by day 14.
- treatment Arm I five patients out of the six enrolled turned RT-PCR negative for COVID-19.
- treatment Arm II 4 patients out of the 6 enrolled turned RT-PCR negative for COVID-19.
- treatment Arm III 4 patients out of the 6 enrolled turned RT-PCR negative for COVID-19.
- the percentage of patients who recovered in each arm was also assessed and calculated as a number of patients with negative RT-PCR for COVID-19 infection by day 14 divided by the intent to treat population, expressed as a percentage.
- the percentage of patient who recovered was 83%, 67% and 67% in treatment arms I, II and III respectively.
- treatment arm II The duration of hospitalization in treatment arm II (15.17 days), is significantly higher than the other two arms, which may be attributed to more number of severe patients enrolled in this treatment arm.
- the treatment arm III (39%) had more number and percentage of oxygen free days as compared to arms I (32.2.0%) and II (19.7%).
- the results of treatment arm II are consistent with the fact that more number of severe patients were enrolled in this arm and hence there is a lesser percentage of oxygen free days.
- oral eflornithine is a safe product, and when administered at 10.0 grams or 20.0 grams per day, shows promising antiviral efficacy in moderate to severe hospitalized COVID-19 patients as compared to the SoC.

Abstract
L'invention concerne des compositions d'eflornithine ou son sel et ses promédicaments dans une plage de doses de 0,1 g à 26 g par jour sous différentes formes posologiques, telles qu'un comprimé sécable, un comprimé sécable à croquer, une gélule, une solution orale et une suspension orale, des granules ou une composition de poudre dans un sachet, une perfusion intraveineuse sous la forme d'une perfusion intraveineuse en bolus, d'une perfusion intraveineuse continue et d'une perfusion intraveineuse pulsée et sous la forme d'une injection intraveineuse pour différentes voies d'administration. L'invention concerne en outre une méthode de traitement d'une infection virale, spécifiquement du nouveau coronavirus (COVID 19), en utilisant les formulations d'eflornithine en tant que monothérapie ou en polythérapie avec d'autres médicaments antiviraux, antimicrobiens, anti-paludéens, anti-protozoaires et vaccins. L'invention concerne également des polyamines et/ou un régime régulé par des protéines pour ledit traitement. Ledit traitement peut être appliqué sur un patient ayant une surface corporelle de 0,2 à 2 m2 et/ou un indice de masse corporelle compris entre 10 et 45 kg/m2. L'invention concerne également l'administration de différentes doses sur un régime posologique unique et multiple toutes les 4 heures à 24 heures. Ladite administration produit un taux de concentration plasmatique chez l'homme variant de 5 mcg/ml à 150 mcg/ml avec Tmax de 30 min à 500 min avec une AUC de 30 mcg.h/ml à 1 000 mcg.h/ml après administration orale.
