Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a stable injectable formulation comprising a biologically active peptide Etelcalcetide, an isotonic agent, a buffering agent, and pH-adjusting agent.
  • the present invention also relates to processes for preparation of such stable formulation of Etelcalcetide, with reduced impurities and enhanced stability. Further the present invention is related to use of such formulations in the treatment of diseases and conditions for which such formulations are indicated.
  • Etelcalcetide is a calcimimetic and calcium-sensing receptor (CaSR) agonist composed of a synthetic peptide comprised of seven D-amino acids that can be used to treat secondary hyperparathyroidism (sHPT) in hemodialysis patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD). Elevated PTH is often observed in patients with CKD and is associated with dysregulated calcium-phosphate homeostasis.
  • CaSR calcium-sensing receptor
  • Etelcalcetide Upon intravenous administration, Etelcalcetide mimics calcium and allosterically modulates the CaSR expressed by the parathyroid gland. Etelcalcetide binds to the CaSR and enhances activation of the receptor by extracellular calcium.
  • Etelcalcetide Hydrochloride structurally represented as: Therapeutic peptides are widely used in medical practice. Pharmaceutical formulations of such therapeutic peptides are required to have a good stability in order to be suitable for common use. Further, the said therapeutic peptides are often provided in lyophilized form for later reconstitution, since the lyophilized forms have the advantage of providing stability for long periods of time. However these lyophilized formulations are less convenient to use as they requires the addition of one or more diluents and there is the potential risk for errors due to the use of an improper type or amount of diluent, as well as risk of contamination.
  • peptide formulations are inherently unstable due to sensitivity towards physical and chemical degradation.
  • the said physical degradation of the therapeutic peptides involves conformational changes relative to the native structure of the peptide, which may lead to oligomerization, aggregation, precipitation or adsorption to surfaces.
  • the said chemical degradation of peptides in general, involves change of covalent bonds, such as oxidation, hydrolysis, racemization or crosslinking and deamindation.
  • the peptides that contain a disulfide bond typically have only moderate or poor stability in aqueous solution. Peptides are prone to amide bond hydrolysis at both high and low pH.
  • Disulfide bonds can be unstable even under quite mild conditions (close to neutral pH). In addition, disulfide containing peptides that are not cyclic are particularly prone to dimer formation. These consequently lead to loss in biological activity of molecule.
  • Etelcalcetide main chain has 7 amino acids, all in the D-configuration and the side-chain cysteine residue is in the L-configuration. The said 7 D-amino acids are linked to L- cysteine by a disulfide bond. The amino terminal is acetylated and the carboxyl-terminal is amidated.
  • a stable aqueous liquid formulation comprising Etelcalcetide. It would be desirable for the said liquid formulation to remain stable over a relevant period of time under suitable storage conditions and to be suitable for administration by intravenous or other parenteral routes.
  • U.S. Patent No. 9,820,938 discloses a formulation comprising 2 mg/mLto 20 mg/mL of Etelcalcetide in aqueous solution, a succinate buffer that maintains the formulation at a pH of about 3.0 to 3.5, and a concentration of sodium chloride wherein the formulation is approximately isotonic. It further discloses that the two major degradants of Etelcalcetide injection are the result of C-terminal deamidation and homodimer formation and the time course of degradation by these pathways is a function of the pH of the solution.
  • Etelcalcetide is marketed under brand name PARSABIV® which is given by intravenous injection. It is indicated for Secondary hyperparathyroidism (HPT) in adult patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD) on hemodialysis, developed by Amgen. PARSABIV® single-dose vial is formulated with 0.85% (w/v) sodium chloride, 10 mM (or 1.2 mg/mL) succinic acid, and adjusted to pH 3.3 with sodium hydroxide and/or hydrochloric acid.
  • PARSABIV® Single-dose vial is formulated with 0.85% (w/v) sodium chloride, 10 mM (or 1.2 mg/mL) succinic acid, and adjusted to pH 3.3 with sodium hydroxide and/or hydrochloric acid.
  • buffers are added to parenteral formulations to optimize solubility and stability by adjusting/maintaining the pH; and it is also known that the buffer strength should be kept as low as possible to avoid pain upon injection. Therefore, the inventors of the present invention have developed pharmaceutical formulations of Etelcalcetide using alternative buffers that have a buffer strength i.e. equivalent to the succinate buffer capacity (used in PARSABIV® injection) and simultaneously maintains the solubility and improves stability of Etelcalcetide.
  • the said formulations of the present invention are stable, easy to manufacture and are commercially viable.
  • the alternative buffers and the process of preparation used in the present invention improves the stability of formulation and alleviates the limitations in the art by providing stable preparations with less quantities of buffer.
