Definitions

  • the present invention relates to improved methods for the use of the compound of the invention in the treatment of inflammatory diseases, and/or diseases associated with hypersecretion of IFNa and/or interferons (“interferonopathies”, especially type I interferonopathies), IL- 12 and/or IL-23, by avoiding, contraindicating or discontinuing concomitant use or co-administration of one or more compounds that are cytochrome P450 (CYP) inducers and/or P-gp inducers, particularly CYP3A4 inducers and/or P-gp inducers, and more particularly strong CYP3A4 inducers and/or strong P-gp inducers.
  • CYP cytochrome P450
  • Janus kinases are cytoplasmic tyrosine kinases that transduce cytokine signaling from membrane receptors to STAT transcription factors.
  • JAK family members Four JAK family members are described, JAK1, JAK2, JAK3 and TYK2.
  • JAK family members Upon binding of the cytokine to its receptor, JAK family members auto- and/or transphosphorylate each other, followed by phosphorylation of STATs that then migrate to the nucleus to modulate transcription.
  • JAK-STAT intracellular signal transduction serves the interferons, most interleukins, as well as a variety of cytokines and endocrine factors such as EPO, TPO, GH, OSM, LIF, CNTF, GM-CSF and PRL (Vainchenker, Dusa, and Constantine scu 2008).
  • JAKinibs JAK inhibitors
  • JAKinibs JAK inhibitors with various degrees of selectivity profdes versus the JAK family members.
  • JAK inhibitors with various degrees of selectivity profdes versus the JAK family members.
  • targeting multiple JAK may not be detrimental (Brockman, Giovannetti, and Peters 2011)
  • developing selective JAK inhibitors would be very desirable to develop treatment course tailored to the needs of the patient despite the challenge it represents (Fabian et al. 2005).
  • JAK2 inhibition has proven useful in the treatment of polycythemia and myelofibrosis
  • undesirable effect associated with JAK2 inhibition were observed (O’Shea and Plenge 2012) thus rendering compounds with JAK2 inhibition components unsuitable for the treatment of non-JAK2 mediated diseases.
  • IL-6, IL-10, IL-11, IL-12, IL-13, IL-19, IL- 20, IL-22, IL-23, IL-27, IL-28, IL-29, IL-31, IL-35 and/or type 1 interferons signaling are dependent on TYK2 (Schwartz et al. 2016).
  • TYK2 is involved in type I interferons (including IFNa, INF[3), IL- 23 and IL- 12 signaling (Gillooly, Zhang, and Yang 2016). Since the activity of IL- 12 and IL-23 is particularly increased in patients with auto-immune diseases such as psoriasis and/or inflammatory bowel disorders, selective TYK2 inhibition may be particularly advantageous in the treatment of these diseases while avoiding JAK2 dependent erythropoietin (EPO) and thrombopoietin (TPO) signaling (Neubauer et al. 1998). [0005] Furthermore, TYK2 has been reported as a target for multiple autoimmune disorders, providing protection against inflammatory diseases as well as type 2 diabetes with a limited impact on the immune system (Dendrou et al. 2016).
  • Compound 1 is a small molecule inhibitor of JAK, a family of tyrosine kinases, more particularly TYK2, and is currently under investigation as a drug for the treatment of inflammatory diseases and/or diseases associated with hypersecretion of IFNa and/or interferons (“interferonopathies”, especially type I interferonopathies), IL- 12 and/or IL-23.

  • Cytochrome P450 (CYP) enzymes are essential for the metabolism of many medicines and endogenous compounds (Danielson 2002).
  • the cytochrome P450 3 A family is the most abundant subfamily of the CYP isoforms in the liver. There are at least three isoforms: 3A4, 3A5 and 3A7 in adults, of which 3A4 is considered the most important of all CYP enzymes in the liver (Ince et al. 2013).
  • CYP enzymes can be inhibited or induced by drugs, which may result in clinically significant drugdrug interactions that may cause unanticipated adverse reactions or therapeutic failures (Lynch and Price 2007). It is therefore crucial to understand which combinations of drugs should be contraindicated or their co-administration avoided.
  • cytochrome P450 3A4 (CYP3A4) inhibitors are known (https://www.fda.gov/drugs/drug- interactions-labeling/drug-development-and-drug-interactions-table-substrates-inhibitors-and-inducers) and Itraconazole, given its strong CYP3A inhibition, has emerged as probe to evaluate clinical drug-drug interaction (DDI) studies (Liu et al. 2016).
  • Exposure of a drug may be influenced by the co-administration of a CYP3A4 inhibitor (Teo, Ho, and Chan 2015), leading to under or overdosing of said drug; therefore it is essential to ensure stable dose and exposure to avoid undesirable side effects or toxicity.

  • P-glycoprotein also referred to as “Multidrug Resistance Protein (MDR1)” and by its gene name “ABCB1”
  • MDR1 Multidrug Resistance Protein

  • P-glycoprotein plays an important role transporting drug substances outside the cell (efflux) influencing their elimination from the body.
  • P-glycoprotein is an important mediator of drug -drug interactions.
  • the pharmacokinetics of a drug may be altered when co-administered with compounds which inhibit or induce P-glycoprotein (Konig, Muller, and Fromm 2013). It is therefore crucial to understand which combinations of drugs should be contraindicated or their co-administration avoided.
  • a substance acting as P-gp inhibitor which can also act as CYP inhibitor
  • a substance acting as P-gp inhibitor may result in a reduced therapeutic effect due to a doble effect.
  • a P-gp inhibition-mediated enhanced the intracellular accumulation of the parent drug
  • a CYP inhibition-mediated may cause excessive drug accumulation of the parent drug and increased its toxicity, resulting in the need to reduce the dose of the therapeutic agent. Therefore, it is crucial to understand which combinations of drugs should be contraindicated or their co-administration avoided (Wandel et al. 1999).
