Definitions
- the present invention relates to an oral pharmaceutical formulation, suitably tablets, suitably capsules, comprising 3'-[(2Z)-[l-(3,4-dimethylphenyl)-l,5-dihydro- 3 -methyl-5-oxo-4H-pyrazol-4-ylidene]hydrazino]-2'-hydroxy-[ 1 , 1 '-biphenyl]-3 - carboxylic acid (INN name eltrombopag) or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof, wherein the oral pharmaceutical formulation is coated with an enteric coating.
- eltrombopag is in the form of bis-(monoethanolamine) salt (interchangeably referred as “eltrombopag olamine”).
- Compound A is a compound which is disclosed, along with pharmaceutically acceptable salts, hydrates, solvates and esters thereof, as being useful as an agonist of the TPO receptor, particularly in enhancing platelet production and particularly in the treatment of thrombocytopenia, in WO 01/89457, the disclosure of which is hereby incorporated by reference.
- Eltrombopag (US brand Promacta, EU brand Revolade) is currently marketed globally for chronic immune (idiopathic) thrombocytopenia (ITP) and severe aplastic anemia.
- Both the US and the EU current drug labels contain instructions on avoidance of taking the drug together with food, or closely before or after meal, especially calcium-rich food, for example dairy products.
- the US label it states “Take PROMACTA on an empty stomach (1 hour before or 2 hours after a meal). Take PROMACTA at least 2 hours before or 4 hours after other medications (e.g., antacids), calcium-rich foods.
- eltrombopag chelates with polyvalent metals, especially with calcium, and forms insoluble complex.
- eltrombopag formulation has greatly reduced dissolution rate in the presence of calcium (example 8, WO/2008/136843).
- eltrombopag has reduced bioavailability in the presence of food, especially calcium-rich food (negative food effect).
- FIG. 1 2-stage dissolution test of enteric coated capsule formulation (EXAMPLE 1) as described in EXAMPLE 4.
- FIG. 22-stage dissolution test of enteric coated Promacta tablet (EXAMPLE 2) as described in EXAMPLE 5.
- FIG. 3 Dog PK study on food effect with Promacta, enteric coated Promacta and enteric coated capsule under fasted and fed conditions (FIG. 3 A AUC, FIG. 3B Cmax).
- enteric coated pharmaceutical formulations overcome calcium-rich food induced food effect. Without wishing to be bound by the theory, we speculate that the enteric coating, by preventing the drug from released in stomach, where the calcium or other polyvalent metals concentration is high, postpones the drug dissolution and absorption to small intestine, where the polyvalent metals concentration drops. Consequently the enteric coated pharmaceutical formulations mitigate food effect caused mainly by calcium or other polyvalent metals contained in food.
- the present invention relates to an oral pharmaceutical composition
- an oral pharmaceutical composition comprising 3'-[(2Z)-[l-(3,4-dimethylphenyl)-l,5-dihydro-3-methyl-5-oxo-4H- pyrazol-4-ylidene]hydrazino]-2'-hydroxy-[ 1 , 1 '-biphenyl]-3 -carboxylic acid (eltrombopag), or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof, wherein the pharmaceutical formulation is coated with an enteric coating (pharmaceutical composition of the invention).
- the pharmaceutically acceptable salt is monoethanolamine salt. In one embodiment the ratio between eltrombopag and monoethanolamine is 1:1. In one embodiment the ratio between eltrombopag and monoethanolamine is 1:2 (bis-(monoethanolamine)).
- the pharmaceutical composition of the invention comprises eltrombopag bis-(monoethanolamine).
- Other pharmaceutically acceptable salts include but not limited to sodium salt, potassium salt, magnesium salt, ammonia salt, choline salt, N-methyl-D- glucamine salt, 4-(2-hydroxyethyl)morpholine salt, triethanolamine salt, L-lysine salt, piperazine salt, ethylenediamine salt, diethanolamine salt, N,N’- dimethylethanolamine salt, N,N’-dibenzylethylenedamine salt, tert-butylamine salt, tris(hydroxymethyl) amino methane (also named as tromethamine) salt, l-(2- hydroxyethyl)pyrrolidine salt and diethylenetriamine salt.
- enteric coating also known as gastro-resistant coating is a barrier applied to oral medication that controls the location in the digestive tract where it is absorbed.
- enteric refers to the small intestine; therefore, enteric coatings resist breakdown of medication before it reaches the small intestine.
- the enteric coating remains intact in the acid environment, e.g. pH is below 2, e.g. pH is 1-2, or typically pH is 1.2 to 1.8.
- the drug release is limited to less than 10%, suitably less than 5%, or suitably less than 1% in the acidic environment when the medication is kept in the acidic medium for several hours.
- a two-stage dissolution test is used to determine the drug release under acidic pH condition (mimicking the stomach acidity) and under close to neutral to neutral pH condition (mimicking the pH condition of the intestine).
- the enteric coating should quickly dissolve as soon as the pH rises above a trigger pH value (trigger pH) and thereby expose the core composition of the medication to the surrounding intestinal fluid.
- a trigger pH value Trigger pH
- the dissolved drug should start to be measurable a few minutes after medication is immersed in the second pH medium and the amount of dissolved drug should steadily increase with time, e.g. within about 15, 30, 45, 60, 75, 90 min after the medication is put in the 2 nd pH medium.

- mixtures of polymers in different proportion can yield a polymer mixture which dissolves at varied pH , for example mixing of Eudragit L 100 and Eudragit SI 00 (Reference - Chapter 1 Enteric Targeting Thorough Enteric Coating, Bianca Brogmann and thomas E Beckert. Book - Drug targeting technology:physical chemical biological methods).
- MA Methacrylic acid
- EA Ethyl acrylate
- Table 2 below provides the product Eudragit series and their important product characterizations, e.g. their pH dependent solubility, which is an important parameter for a skilled artisan to make decision which polymer to choose, depending where it is preferred the drug to be released from the enteric coated medication.
- the polymer is poly (MA - EA) 1:1.
- the enteric polymer is Eudragit L 100-55.
- the enteric polymer is Eudragit L 30 D-55 (formerly Eudragit L 30 D).
- the enteric coating normally further comprises plasticizer.
- Plasticizers typically reduce the glass transition temperature and impart flexibility to the polymeric film. At glass transition, the polymer changes from a tough, rigid, inflexible, and brittle material into one that is softer, and more pliable. These latter properties are of great value in film coating, and thus it is beneficial to match the glass transition temperature of the final coating system to the coating conditions that will be used. For most coating systems, it is desirable that the glass transition temperature of that system be optimized for the coating process conditions used. For aqueous polymer dispersions (or latexes), it is desired that such optimization is achieved for appropriate coalescence of the coating.
- Typical plasticizers used include but are not limited to following classes, polyhydric alcohol (e.g.
- the plasticizer is selected from a group consisting of propylene glycol, Polyethylene glycols and Triethyl citrate. In one embodiment the plasticizer is Tri ethyl citrate.
- plasticizer can also be dictated by excipient companies based upon their work on their polymers and selected plasticizers, as exemplified in Table 2
- the enteric coating normally further comprises anti-sticky/ Anti-tacking agent. These agents avoid tackiness and agglomeration of the tablets during coating.
- Anti-tacking agents used typically include but not limited to, talc, magnesium stearate, kaolin, silicon dioxide and glycerol monostearate. Concentration of the them can vary, talc is normally used in range of 25-100% (% based on dry polymer), while normally 5-20% (% based on dry polymer) of Glycerol monostearate is used.
- the anti-tacking agent is talc.
- the anti tacking agent is Glycerol monostearate.
- Enteric coating should also have a certain degree of thickness so that polymer film do not dissolve (swell) and remain impermeable to acidic environment for several hours. Typically this can be achieved by coating the layer of polymer film over the core tablet to a thickness of about 5 to 60 pm, suitably 10 to 50 pm, suitably 20-40 pm.
- the enteric protection could be rendered by coating the polymer layer of about 0.5-15 mg/cm 2 , suitably about 1-10 mg/cm 2 ’ suitably 2-7 mg/cm 2 on the core.
- the weight of the enteric coating should be at least 5% of the total weight of the pharmaceutical formulation of the invention (including the weight of the enteric coating), suitable between about 7% to 15%, suitably between 8 to 14%, suitable between 9 to 13%, suitable 9 to 12% of the total weight of the pharmaceutical formulation of the invention.
- an enteric coating to a core pharmaceutical composition is within the common general knowledge of a skilled person in the field.
- a layer of seal or sub coat is applied before enteric polymer coating over the core tablets.
- Purpose of seal coating is to provide protection to the core of tablet and prevent migration of ingredients to core. This also helps in giving a uniform surface on which functional coating of an enteric polymer can form.
- Enteric coating polymers are acidic and can have interaction with drug present in the core. To avoid these interactions sub coat or seal coat is recommended using but not limited to cellulosic polymers like HPMC and HPC. Following this an enteric polymer coating is applied.
- coating process invariably involves the deposition of thin layer of polymer by means of a spray of aqueous or organic coating suspension/solution on top of a rotating tablet bed.
- the film is dried by passing hot air through the tablet bed and residual solvent/water is removed to leave a thin film on tablet core.
- Enteric coated capsule is normally commercially available, for example Vcaps® Enteric Capsules from Evonik, or QualiV S from Qualicaps.
- the capsule is sealed by banding, preferably with a polymer according to the present invention. The purpose of banding is to prevent or to reduce the acid ingress.
- the banding polymer is the same polymer used in enteric coating.
- the pharmaceutical composition releases less than 10%, suitably less than 7%, suitably less than 5%, suitably less than 3%, suitably less than 1% of eltrombopag in a dissolution test performed in an aqueous medium at an acidic pH, e.g. a pH ⁇ 2 ⁇ 0.3, suitably pH at 1.2 ⁇ 0.3, most suitably pH at 1.2 ⁇ 0.15, when measured up to one hour, up to 1.5 hour or most suitably up to 2 hours.
- an acidic pH e.g. a pH ⁇ 2 ⁇ 0.3, suitably pH at 1.2 ⁇ 0.3, most suitably pH at 1.2 ⁇ 0.15, when measured up to one hour, up to 1.5 hour or most suitably up to 2 hours.
- the enteric coating quickly dissolves when pH rises over the trigger pH and thus the pharmaceutical composition releases measurable amount of eltrombopag in a dissolution test, for example at least 20% or at least 50% or at least 70% of eltrombopag within 15 minutes after the pharmaceutical composition of the invention is immersed in an aqueous medium having pH above 5.5 ⁇ 0.3, e.g. at pH6.8 ⁇ 0.3. Under such condition, the amount of dissolved eltrombopag should steadily increase with time, e.g. within the 15, 30, 45, 60, 75, 90 min.

Both the US and the EU current drug labels contain instructions on avoidance of taking the drug together with food, or closely before or
after meal, especially calcium-rich food, for example dairy products. For example on the US label it states “Take PROMACTA on an empty stomach (1 hour before or 2 hours after a meal). Take PROMACTA at least 2 hours before or 4 hours after other medications (e.g., antacids), calcium-rich foods. Similarly on the EMA approved Revolade it states “The tablets should be taken at least two hours before or four hours after any products such as antacids, dairy products (or other calcium containing food products), or mineral supplements containing polyvalent cations (e.g. iron, calcium, magnesium, aluminium, selenium and zinc)”
As reported in Promacta drug label, an open-label, randomized- Sequence, crossover trial was conducted to assess the effect of food on the bioavailability of eltrombopag. A standard high-fat breakfast significantly decreased plasma eltrombopag AUC0-co by approximately 59% and Cmax by 65% and delayed Tmax by 1 hour. The calcium content of this meal may have also contributed to this decrease in exposure. In a second trial, administration of a single 25-mg dose of eltrombopag for oral suspension to adults with a high-calcium, moderate-fat, moderate-calorie meal reduced plasma eltrombopag AUC0-co by 75% (90% Cl:
71%, 88%) and Cmax by 79% (90% Cl: 76%, 82%). Administration of a single 25- mg dose of eltrombopag for oral suspension 2 hours after the high-calcium meal reduced plasma eltrombopag AUC0-co by 47% (90% Cl: 40%, 53%) and Cmax by 48% (90% Cl: 40%, 54%). Administration of a single 25-mg dose of eltrombopag for oral suspension 2 hours before the high-calcium meal reduced plasma eltrombopag AUC0-co by 20% (90% Cl: 9%, 29%) and Cmax by 14% (90% Cl: 2%, 25%).
This is because eltrombopag chelates with polyvalent metals, especially with calcium, and forms insoluble complex. As a result eltrombopag formulation has greatly reduced dissolution rate in the presence of calcium (example 8, WO/2008/136843). Hence eltrombopag has reduced bioavailability in the presence of food, especially calcium-rich food (negative food effect).
BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS
FIG. 1: 2-stage dissolution test of enteric coated capsule formulation (EXAMPLE 1) as described in EXAMPLE 4.
FIG. 22-stage dissolution test of enteric coated Promacta tablet (EXAMPLE 2) as described in EXAMPLE 5. FIG. 3 Dog PK study on food effect with Promacta, enteric coated Promacta and enteric coated capsule under fasted and fed conditions (FIG. 3 A AUC, FIG. 3B Cmax).
DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
Surprisingly we have found that enteric coated pharmaceutical formulations overcome calcium-rich food induced food effect. Without wishing to be bound by the theory, we speculate that the enteric coating, by preventing the drug from released in stomach, where the calcium or other polyvalent metals concentration is high, postpones the drug dissolution and absorption to small intestine, where the polyvalent metals concentration drops. Consequently the enteric coated pharmaceutical formulations mitigate food effect caused mainly by calcium or other polyvalent metals contained in food.
Thus the present invention relates to an oral pharmaceutical composition comprising 3'-[(2Z)-[l-(3,4-dimethylphenyl)-l,5-dihydro-3-methyl-5-oxo-4H- pyrazol-4-ylidene]hydrazino]-2'-hydroxy-[ 1 , 1 '-biphenyl]-3 -carboxylic acid (eltrombopag), or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof, wherein the pharmaceutical formulation is coated with an enteric coating (pharmaceutical composition of the invention).
In one embodiment the pharmaceutically acceptable salt is monoethanolamine salt. In one embodiment the ratio between eltrombopag and monoethanolamine is 1:1. In one embodiment the ratio between eltrombopag and monoethanolamine is 1:2 (bis-(monoethanolamine)).
In one embodiment the pharmaceutical composition of the invention comprises eltrombopag bis-(monoethanolamine).
Other pharmaceutically acceptable salts include but not limited to sodium salt, potassium salt, magnesium salt, ammonia salt, choline salt, N-methyl-D- glucamine salt, 4-(2-hydroxyethyl)morpholine salt, triethanolamine salt, L-lysine salt, piperazine salt, ethylenediamine salt, diethanolamine salt, N,N’- dimethylethanolamine salt, N,N’-dibenzylethylenedamine salt, tert-butylamine salt, tris(hydroxymethyl) amino methane (also named as tromethamine) salt, l-(2- hydroxyethyl)pyrrolidine salt and diethylenetriamine salt.
An enteric coating, also known as gastro-resistant coating is a barrier applied to oral medication that controls the location in the digestive tract where it is absorbed. The term “enteric” refers to the small intestine; therefore, enteric coatings resist breakdown of medication before it reaches the small intestine. Typically the enteric coating remains intact in the acid environment, e.g. pH is below 2, e.g. pH is 1-2, or typically pH is 1.2 to 1.8. Typically the drug release is limited to less than 10%, suitably less than 5%, or suitably less than 1% in the acidic environment when the medication is kept in the acidic medium for several hours.
Typically a two-stage dissolution test, as exemplified in EXAMPLE 3, is used to determine the drug release under acidic pH condition (mimicking the stomach acidity) and under close to neutral to neutral pH condition (mimicking the pH condition of the intestine). Typically the drug release in the first step of the two- stage dissolution test is about less than 10%, suitably less than 7%, suitably less than 5%, suitably less than 3%, suitably less than 1%, normally measured up to one hour, 1.5 hour or suitably 2 hours when the enteric coated formulation is kept in the acidic pH medium, e.g. pH=1.2.
The enteric coating should quickly dissolve as soon as the pH rises above a trigger pH value (trigger pH) and thereby expose the core composition of the medication to the surrounding intestinal fluid. In the second step of the two-stage dissolution test, the dissolved drug should start to be measurable a few minutes after medication is immersed in the second pH medium and the amount of dissolved drug should steadily increase with time, e.g. within about 15, 30, 45, 60, 75, 90 min after the medication is put in the 2nd pH medium.
A typical 2-stage dissolution test result of an enteric coated formulation is depicted in the below figure.
Enteric film-coating polymers are essentially polyacids and typically only dissolve in water above pH=5.0-6.0; these polymers are selected for their ability not only to form robust coatings that adhere strongly to tablet surfaces, but also to permit rapid drug release from dosage form once it passes from the stomach into the small intestine. Thus in one embodiment the enteric coating comprises a polymer which is insoluble in an aqueous medium, wherein the aqueous medium has a pH < 2 ± 0.3, suitably pH < 1.5 ± 0.3, suitably pH between 1±0.3 to 1.5±0.3 or suitably pH at 1.2±0.3. Under this acidic condition, the polymer remains essentially intact and does not dissolve. In one embodiment the enteric coating comprises a polymer which is soluble in an aqueous medium has a pH > 5±0.3, > 5.5±0.3; > 6±0.3, > 6.5±0.3, or > 7±0.3, suitably soluble between 5±0.3 to 7±0.3, soluble between 5±0.3 to 6.5±0.3, soluble between 5.5±0.3 to 6.5±0.3, soluble between 5.5±0.3 to 6.0±0.3, soluble at between 5.5±0.3; 5.5±0.2. Alternatively the polymer is soluble between 6.5±0.3 to 7.0±0.3. In one preferred embodiment the polymer is soluble between 5.5±0.3 to
6.0±0.3, soluble at between 5.5±0.3; 5.5±0.2.
The aqueous medium can either be a buffered dissolution medium or a bio relevant simulated intestinal fluid, which is to simulate the fasting and fed conditions of small intestine by adding the appropriate bio-relevant surfactants to the corresponding buffer concentrates.
The term “soluble”, as used herein and hereunder, refers to the property of the polymer to become permeable and dissolve in the medium above trigger pH. Typically, the description of a polymer’s solubility is provided by the polymer manufacture, for example, as shown in table 2 below, Eudragit L 100-55 Soluble in intestinal fluid from pH 5.5.
Suitably polymers to be used as enteric coating includes but not limited the following Cellulose acetate phthalate, Cellulose acetate trimellitate, Polyvinyl acetate phthalate, hydroxypropylmethylcellulose phthalate, Hydroxypropylmethylcellulose acetate succinate, Shellac (esters of aleurtic acid) and methacrylic acid copolymers (Eudragit). Furthermore methacrylic acid copolymers (Eudragit) includes but not limited to Poly (MA - EA) 1:1, Poly (MA - MMA) 1:1; and Poly (MA - MMA) 1 :2 and any combination thereof, wherein MA is methacrylic acid, EA is ethyl acrylate and MMA is methyl methacrylate.
Preferred are the Poly(methacrylic acid-co-methyl methacrylate) polymers that have trigger pH 5.0-7.5, suitably 5.5 to 7. These polymers form the basis of enteric coating formulations used in either organic solvent-based or aqueous coating formulations.
In addition to employing a single polymer in the enteric coating, mixtures of polymers in different proportion can yield a polymer mixture which dissolves at varied pH , for example mixing of Eudragit L 100 and Eudragit SI 00 (Reference - Chapter 1 Enteric Targeting Thorough Enteric Coating, Bianca Brogmann and thomas E Beckert. Book - Drug targeting technology:physical chemical biological methods).
A breakdown of coating systems especially designed for aqueous coating applications is shown in Table 1 below.
Table 1
MA, Methacrylic acid; EA, Ethyl acrylate.
Table 2 below provides the product Eudragit series and their important product characterizations, e.g. their pH dependent solubility, which is an important parameter for a skilled artisan to make decision which polymer to choose, depending where it is preferred the drug to be released from the enteric coated medication.
In one embodiment, the polymer is poly (MA - EA) 1:1. In a preferred embodiment the enteric polymer is Eudragit L 100-55. In an another preferred embodiment the enteric polymer is Eudragit L 30 D-55 (formerly Eudragit L 30 D).
The enteric coating normally further comprises plasticizer. Plasticizers typically reduce the glass transition temperature and impart flexibility to the polymeric film. At glass transition, the polymer changes from a tough, rigid, inflexible, and brittle material into one that is softer, and more pliable. These latter properties are of great value in film coating, and thus it is beneficial to match the glass transition temperature of the final coating system to the coating conditions that will be used. For most coating systems, it is desirable that the glass transition temperature of that system be optimized for the coating process conditions used. For aqueous polymer dispersions (or latexes), it is desired that such optimization is achieved for appropriate coalescence of the coating. Typical plasticizers used include but are not limited to following classes, polyhydric alcohol (e.g. Propylene glycol, glycerol, polyethylene glycol), Acetate esters (e.g. glyceryl triacetate, triethyl citrate (TEC), acetyl triethyl citrate), phthalate esters (e.g. diethyl phthlate), glycerides (e.g. acetylated monoglycerides), oils (e.g. castor oil, mineral oil). In one embodiment the plasticizer is selected from a group consisting of propylene glycol, Polyethylene glycols and Triethyl citrate. In one embodiment the plasticizer is Tri ethyl citrate.
The choice of plasticizer can also be dictated by excipient companies based upon their work on their polymers and selected plasticizers, as exemplified in Table 2
The enteric coating normally further comprises anti-sticky/ Anti-tacking agent. These agents avoid tackiness and agglomeration of the tablets during coating. Anti-tacking agents used typically include but not limited to, talc, magnesium stearate, kaolin, silicon dioxide and glycerol monostearate. Concentration of the
them can vary, talc is normally used in range of 25-100% (% based on dry polymer), while normally 5-20% (% based on dry polymer) of Glycerol monostearate is used. In one embodiment the anti-tacking agent is talc. In one embodiment the anti tacking agent is Glycerol monostearate.
Besides choosing the proper polymer for enteric coating. Enteric coating should also have a certain degree of thickness so that polymer film do not dissolve (swell) and remain impermeable to acidic environment for several hours. Typically this can be achieved by coating the layer of polymer film over the core tablet to a thickness of about 5 to 60 pm, suitably 10 to 50 pm, suitably 20-40 pm. Alternatively, the enteric protection could be rendered by coating the polymer layer of about 0.5-15 mg/cm2, suitably about 1-10 mg/cm2’ suitably 2-7 mg/cm2 on the core. Typically the weight of the enteric coating should be at least 5% of the total weight of the pharmaceutical formulation of the invention (including the weight of the enteric coating), suitable between about 7% to 15%, suitably between 8 to 14%, suitable between 9 to 13%, suitable 9 to 12% of the total weight of the pharmaceutical formulation of the invention.
To apply an enteric coating to a core pharmaceutical composition is within the common general knowledge of a skilled person in the field. Before enteric polymer coating over the core tablets, generally a layer of seal or sub coat is applied. Purpose of seal coating is to provide protection to the core of tablet and prevent migration of ingredients to core. This also helps in giving a uniform surface on which functional coating of an enteric polymer can form. Enteric coating polymers are acidic and can have interaction with drug present in the core. To avoid these interactions sub coat or seal coat is recommended using but not limited to cellulosic polymers like HPMC and HPC. Following this an enteric polymer coating is applied. Typically, irrespective of coating material, coating process invariably involves the deposition of thin layer of polymer by means of a spray of aqueous or organic coating suspension/solution on top of a rotating tablet bed. The film is dried by passing hot air through the tablet bed and residual solvent/water is removed to leave a thin film on tablet core.
Enteric coated capsule is normally commercially available, for example Vcaps® Enteric Capsules from Evonik, or QualiV S from Qualicaps. In one preferred embodiment the capsule is sealed by banding, preferably with a polymer according to the present invention. The purpose of banding is to prevent or to reduce the acid ingress. Suitably the banding polymer is the same polymer used in enteric coating.
The pharmaceutical composition releases less than 10%, suitably less than 7%, suitably less than 5%, suitably less than 3%, suitably less than 1% of eltrombopag in a dissolution test performed in an aqueous medium at an acidic pH, e.g. a pH < 2 ± 0.3, suitably pH at 1.2±0.3, most suitably pH at 1.2±0.15, when measured up to one hour, up to 1.5 hour or most suitably up to 2 hours.
The enteric coating quickly dissolves when pH rises over the trigger pH and thus the pharmaceutical composition releases measurable amount of eltrombopag in a dissolution test, for example at least 20% or at least 50% or at least 70% of eltrombopag within 15 minutes after the pharmaceutical composition of the invention is immersed in an aqueous medium having pH above 5.5±0.3, e.g. at pH6.8±0.3. Under such condition, the amount of dissolved eltrombopag should steadily increase with time, e.g. within the 15, 30, 45, 60, 75, 90 min.
Example 3 describes the two-stage dissolution test for assessing the drug release from the pharmaceutical composition of the invention. Preferably low amount of surfactant, e.g. Tween 80, typically 0.1 to 1.0, e.g. 0.5%v/v is added to the dissolution medium to facilitate the dissolution of eltrombopag.
In one embodiment the pharmaceutical composition of the invention comprises at least one or more excipients.
Suitably, the at least one or more pharmaceutically acceptable excipients include a diluent (also known as filler or bulking agent) and/or a binder and/or a lubricant and/or a disintegrant and/or glidiant. Those skilled in the art will recognize that a given material may provide one or more functions in the tablet formulation, although the material is usually included for a primary function.
Diluents provide bulk, for example, in order to make the tablet a practical size for processing. Diluents may also aid processing, for example, by providing improved physical properties such as flow, compressibility, and tablet hardness. Because of the relatively high percentage of diluent and the amount of direct contact between the diluent and the active compound in the typical pharmaceutical formulation, the interaction of the diluent with the active compound is of particular concern to the formulator. Examples of diluents suitable for general use include: water-soluble fillers and water-insoluble fillers, such as calcium phosphate (e.g., di and tri basic, hydrated or anhydrous), calcium sulfate, calcium carbonate, magnesium carbonate, kaolin, spray dried or anhydrous lactose, cellulose (e.g., microcrystalline cellulose, powdered cellulose), pregelatinized starch, starch, lactitol, mannitol, sorbitol, maltodextrin, powdered sugar, compressible sugar, sucrose, dextrose, and inositol.

magnesium aluminum silicate, and bentonites. In one embodiment the binder is a reducing sugar. In one embodiment the binder is not lactose and glucose. In one embodiment the binder is not lactose. In one embodiment of the present invention, the binder comprises polyvinylpyrrolidone (PVP).
Lubricants are generally used to enhance processing, for example, to prevent adhesion of the formulation material to manufacturing equipment, reduce interparticle friction, improve rate of flow of the formulation, and/or assist ejection of the formulations from the manufacturing equipment. Examples of lubricants suitable for use in the present invention include: talc, stearates (e.g., magnesium stearate, calcium stearate, zinc stearate, palmitostearate), stearic acid, hydrogenated vegetable oils, glyceryl behanate, polyethylene glycol, ethylene oxide polymers (e.g., CARBOWAXes), liquid paraffin, sodium lauryl sulfate, magnesium lauryl sulfate, sodium oleate, sodium stearyl fumarate, DL-leucine, and silica derivatives (e.g., colloidal silicon dioxide, colloidal silica, pyrogenic silica, and hydrated sodium silicoaluminate). In one embodiment of the present invention, the lubricant comprises magnesium stearate.
Disintegrants are employed to facilitate breakup or disintegration of the formulation after administration. Examples of disintegrants suitable for use in the present invention include: starches, celluloses, gums, crosslinked polymers, and effervescent agents, such as corn starch, potato starch, pregelatinized starch, modified corn starch, croscarmellose sodium, crospovidone, sodium starch glycolate, Veegum HV, methyl cellulose, microcrystalline cellulose, cellulose, modified cellulose gum (e.g., Ac-Di-Sol R), agar, bentonite, montmorillonite clay, natural sponge, cation exchange resins, ion exchange resins (e.g., polyacrin potassium), alginic acid and alginates, guar gum, citrus pulp, carboxymethylcellulose and salts thereof such as sodium lauryl sulfate, magnesium aluminum silicate, hydrous aluminum silicate, sodium bicarbonate in admixture with an acidulant such as tartaric acid or citric acid. In one embodiment of the present invention, the disintegrant is sodium starch glycolate. In one embodiment the disintegrant is crospovidone.

Procedure
Test solution - Acid stage Acid Stage (Stage-1), pH 1.2 HC1 buffer
This test can be carried out by an automated dissolution test system. In dissolution profiles, Samples are required to collect at 60 and 120minutes. At each time point, withdraw 1.5 mL of the solution and immediately filter through a Pall Acrodisc PSF GxF/Glass 1 pm Automated Certified syringe filters or ROBY25/GF55 glass fiber filter 0.7 pm. Collect the test solution into a HPLC vial. Do not replace the medium volume removed.
Test Solution - buffer stage Buffer Stage (Stage-2), 0.5% v/vTween 80 in 50mM Potassium Phosphate pH 6.8
After completion of Acid stage dissolution. Replace the acid stage medium (Stage- 1) with buffer stage pre-heated medium (Buffer Stage media, Stage-2). And continue the test with an automated dissolution test system. In dissolution profiles, Samples are required to collect at 135, 150, 165, 180, 195 and 210minutes (Infinity at 200rpm). At each time point, withdraw 1.5 mL of the solution and immediately filter through a Pall Acrodisc PSF GxF/Glass 1 pm Automated Certified syringe filters or ROBY25/GF55 glass fiber filter 0.7 pm. Collect the test solution into a HPLC vial. Do not replace the medium volume removed.
Note: Sampling time for profile generation may be adapted based on project need. Time point in buffer stage are calculated in addition to the time of acid stage e.g. 120min
UV-VIS spectrophotometer (424 nm) is an alternative method instead of HPLC to determine dissolution.
Reference solution This corresponds to 0.088 mg/mL as free acid of ETB115.
EXAMPLE 4 Two-stage test of enteric coated capsule formulation
Enteric coated capsule of EXAMPLE 1 was subjected to two-stage dissolution test described in EXAMPLE 3, except 0.5%v/v Tween is not present in the pH 6.8 Phosphate Buffer. Enteric capsule shells exhibited good acid resistance, and showed about 75% drug release in buffer stage by the end of 210 min (infinity time point). The incomplete drug dissolution in buffer stage was hypothesized to be due to ingress of acid inside the capsule shell during the acid phase. Hence, it was decided to band the enteric capsules to reduce the acid ingress. Banding improved the dissolution by ~ 10-15 % (FIG. 1)
EXAMPLE 5
Dissolution test of enteric coated tablet formulation Dissolution test of the enteric tablets of EXMPLE 2 was performed according to EXAMPLE 3 and the results are shown in FIG. 2.
EXAMPLE 6
Dog PK study on food effect on enteric coated formulations
Objective of the Dog PK study was to determine the effect of enteric coating of Promacta tablets, VCaps capsules/Vcaps enteric capsules on the PK under fed and fasted conditions. The study design is as mentioned in the table below.
6 groups of male beagle dogs, 6 dogs per group, were fed 75mg of eltrombopag in the form of Promacta tablet uncoated, enteric coated Promacta tablet and enteric coated capsule (ETB115-ORA-0069 composition) under fasted or fed conditions. In the fasted groups animals were fasted overnight through approximately 7 hours postdose. In the fed groups animals were fasted from standard lab diet overnight through approximately 7 hours postdose. Approximately 50 grams of supplemental low fat/high calcium diet (approximately 425 mg of calcium per 50 grams diet) was provided approximately 30 minutes prior to dose administration. The AUC and Cmax were measured after dose administration.
The results of the study is summarized in FIG. 3A and 3B.
The small sample size as well as the high degree of variability in the PK results made it impossible to draw clear conclusions. However some trends were still observed: while uncoated Promacta tablets indeed showed reduced exposure both in reduced AUC and reduced Cmax under fed conditions, enteric coating or enteric capsules could mitigate or even slightly reverse the food effect both in AUC and in Cmax. In the case of enteric capsule formulation, the mitigation effect is not entirely due to the presence of vitamin E TPGS as the uncoated capsules still had some degree of food effect both in AUC and in Cmax under fed conditions (data not shown).
EXAMPLE 7
Food effect study in health volunteers
The effect of food, high and low in calcium content, on the pharmacokinetics of eltrombopag after administration of enteric coated capsule or tablet comprising eltrombopag olamine will be investigated. The treatment will consist of single oral doses administered in a fasted state, and in various fed conditions: high-fat high- calorie (HFHC) high-calcium meal, HFHC low-calcium meal, high-fat low-calorie (HFLC) low-calcium meal. Subjects will undergo 4 treatment periods with a washout of 7 to 10 days between 2 consecutive doses. The primary objective is to evaluate the effect of food, high or low in calcium, on eltrombopag pharmacokinetics, including but not limited to the measure of AUC, Tmax and Cmax.
