Definitions
- the present invention is directed to novel crystalline forms of acalabrutinib maleate, processes for the preparation thereof, pharmaceutical compositions containing these forms, and their use in the treatment of Bruton’s tyrosine kinase (Btk)- mediated disorders, including certain forms of cancer.
- Btk tyrosine kinase
- Acalabrutinib (1 ), or 4- ⁇ 8-amino-3-[(2S)-1-(but-2-ynoyl)pyrrolidin-2- yl]imidazo[1 ,5-a]pyrazin-1-yl ⁇ -/V-(pyridin-2-yl)benzamide is the active pharmaceutical ingredient (API) in the form of the maleate salt monohydrate in CALQUENCE® tablets, a prescription medication for use in the treatment of adult patients with mantle cell lymphoma (MCL) who have received at least one prior therapy, chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL), and small lymphocytic lymphoma (SLL).
- MCL mantle cell lymphoma
- CLL chronic lymphocytic leukemia
- SLL small lymphocytic lymphoma
- WO 2017/002095 A1 , US 10,899,770 B2, WO 2021/255246 A1 , and WO 2022/234602 A1 disclose acalabrutinib maleate and crystalline forms thereof.
- Acalabrutinib, in the form of the free base, is the active ingredient in the capsule form of CALQUENCE® which was approved by the U.S. Food & Drug Administration (FDA) on Oct 31 , 2017.
- CALQUENCE® capsules with gastric reducing agents can decrease acalabrutinib plasma concentrations whereas solid pharmaceutical dosage forms containing acalabrutinib maleate as described therein reportedly provide less variability in acalabrutinib pharmacokinetics over a broader range of stomach pH conditions.
- a tablet dosage form of CALQUENCE® comprising acalabrutinib maleate monohydrate has since been approved by the FDA on Aug 3, 2022.
- solubility of crystalline forms of a drug substance in an aqueous environment often correlate to its relative bioavailability, since the manner in which the crystalline form dissolves can correspond to the amount of the drug substance that is available to be absorbed into the body to provide the intended therapeutic effect.
- IDR intrinsic dissolution rate
- IDR values can correlate with higher bioavailability following administration.
- substances with similar IDR values to the approved form are preferred.
- forms exhibiting lower IDR values can be preferable since they can provide slower dissolution of the drug independent of the excipients used in the formulation. Prediction of the solubility and IDR of an as yet undiscovered salt or crystalline form of a substance is currently not possible.
- Different crystalline forms of the same compound may have different packing, thermodynamic, spectroscopic, kinetic, surface, and/or mechanical properties.
- different crystalline forms may have different stability properties.
- a particular crystalline form may be more sensitive to heat, relative humidity (RH) and/or light.
- RH relative humidity
- a particular crystalline form may provide more compressibility and/or density properties thereby providing more desirable characteristics for formulation and/or product manufacturing.
- Particular crystalline forms may also have different dissolution rates, thereby providing different pharmacokinetic parameters, which allow for specific forms to be used in order to achieve specific pharmacokinetic targets.
- the particular solubility characteristics of a given crystalline form in relation to undesired impurities can result in differences in the chemical purity of different crystalline forms upon isolation.
- Differences in stability may result from changes in chemical reactivity, such as differential oxidation. Such properties may provide for more suitable product qualities, such as a dosage form that is more resistant to discolouration when comprised of a specific crystalline form. Different physical properties of crystalline forms may also affect their processing. For example, a particular crystalline form may be more resistant to flow, or may be more difficult to filter and/or wash.

Description
CRYSTALLINE FORMS OF ACALABRUTINIB MALEATE
TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The present invention is directed to novel crystalline forms of acalabrutinib maleate, processes for the preparation thereof, pharmaceutical compositions containing these forms, and their use in the treatment of Bruton’s tyrosine kinase (Btk)- mediated disorders, including certain forms of cancer.
BACKGROUND
[0002] Acalabrutinib (1 ), or 4-{8-amino-3-[(2S)-1-(but-2-ynoyl)pyrrolidin-2- yl]imidazo[1 ,5-a]pyrazin-1-yl}-/V-(pyridin-2-yl)benzamide is the active pharmaceutical ingredient (API) in the form of the maleate salt monohydrate in CALQUENCE® tablets, a prescription medication for use in the treatment of adult patients with mantle cell lymphoma (MCL) who have received at least one prior therapy, chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL), and small lymphocytic lymphoma (SLL).
[0003] WO 2017/002095 A1 , US 10,899,770 B2, WO 2021/255246 A1 , and WO 2022/234602 A1 disclose acalabrutinib maleate and crystalline forms thereof.
[0004] Acalabrutinib, in the form of the free base, is the active ingredient in the capsule form of CALQUENCE® which was approved by the U.S. Food & Drug Administration (FDA) on Oct 31 , 2017. According to WO 2021/255246 A1 , administration of CALQUENCE® capsules with gastric reducing agents can decrease acalabrutinib plasma concentrations whereas solid pharmaceutical dosage forms containing acalabrutinib maleate as described therein reportedly provide less variability in acalabrutinib pharmacokinetics over a broader range of stomach pH conditions. A tablet dosage form of CALQUENCE® comprising acalabrutinib maleate monohydrate has since been approved by the FDA on Aug 3, 2022.
[0005] The solubility of crystalline forms of a drug substance in an aqueous environment often correlate to its relative bioavailability, since the manner in which the crystalline form dissolves can correspond to the amount of the drug substance that is available to be absorbed into the body to provide the intended therapeutic effect. One measure of solubility is intrinsic dissolution rate (IDR), which is defined as the dissolution rate of a substance under constant surface area conditions. For low solubility substances, higher IDR values can correlate with higher bioavailability following administration. However, if the goal is to establish bioequivalence to an approved form of a drug, such as acalabrutinib maleate monohydrate, substances with similar IDR values to the approved form are preferred. Alternatively, for the development of extended or sustained release products, forms exhibiting lower IDR values can be preferable since they can provide slower dissolution of the drug independent of the excipients used in the formulation. Prediction of the solubility and IDR of an as yet undiscovered salt or crystalline form of a substance is currently not possible.
[0006] Different crystalline forms of the same compound may have different packing, thermodynamic, spectroscopic, kinetic, surface, and/or mechanical properties. For example, different crystalline forms may have different stability properties. A particular crystalline form may be more sensitive to heat, relative humidity (RH) and/or light. Alternatively or additionally, a particular crystalline form may provide more compressibility and/or density properties thereby providing more desirable characteristics for formulation and/or product manufacturing. Particular crystalline forms may also have different
dissolution rates, thereby providing different pharmacokinetic parameters, which allow for specific forms to be used in order to achieve specific pharmacokinetic targets. Additionally, the particular solubility characteristics of a given crystalline form in relation to undesired impurities can result in differences in the chemical purity of different crystalline forms upon isolation. Differences in stability may result from changes in chemical reactivity, such as differential oxidation. Such properties may provide for more suitable product qualities, such as a dosage form that is more resistant to discolouration when comprised of a specific crystalline form. Different physical properties of crystalline forms may also affect their processing. For example, a particular crystalline form may be more resistant to flow, or may be more difficult to filter and/or wash.
[0007] Therefore, there exists a need for novel crystalline forms of acalabrutinib maleate for use in providing improved drug products containing acalabrutinib maleate and their manufacture.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION
[0028] The present invention provides, inter alia, acalabrutinib maleate crystalline forms, including solvate forms comprising solvent(s) selected from the group consisting of 1 ,2-propanediol, 1 ,2-ethanediol, and 1 ,2,3-propanetriol.
[0029] The acalabrutinib maleate crystalline forms of the present invention exhibit differences in properties when compared to the known crystalline forms of acalabrutinib maleate. Depending on the specific crystalline form of the invention used, properties that differ between the invention and known crystalline forms of acalabrutinib maleate include one or more of the following: packing properties such as molar volume, density, and/or hygroscopicity; thermodynamic properties such as melting point and/or solubility; kinetic properties such as dissolution rate and/or chemical/polymorphic stability; surface properties such as crystal habit/particle morphology; and/or mechanical properties such as hardness, tensile strength, flow, and/or compactibility.
[0030] Depending on the manner in which the crystalline forms of the present invention are prepared, and the methodology and instrument used for PXRD analysis, the intensity of a given peak observed in a PXRD diffractogram of a crystalline form may vary when compared to the same peak in the representative PXRD diffractogram provided in Figures 1 to 7. Thus, differences in relative peak intensities between peaks in a PXRD diffractogram for a given crystalline form may be observed when compared to the relative peak intensities of the peaks in the representative PXRD diffractogram of Figures 1 to 7. Any such differences may be due, in part, to the preferred orientation of the sample and its deviation from the ideal random sample orientation, the preparation of the sample for analysis, and the methodology applied for the analysis. Such variations are known and understood by a person of skill in the art, and any such variations do not depart from the invention disclosed herein.
[0031 ] In addition to the differences in relative peak intensities that may be observed in comparison to the representative PXRD diffractogram provided in Figures 1 to 7, it is understood that individual peak positions may vary between ±0.2° 29 from the values observed in the representative PXRD d iff ractog rams provided in Figures 1 to 7 for the crystalline form of the invention, or listed in Tables 1 , 3 to 8. Such variations are known
and understood by a person of skill in the art, and any such variations do not depart from the invention disclosed herein.
[0032] Further, depending on the instrument used for X-ray analysis and its calibration, uniform offsets in the peak position of each peak in a PXRD diffractogram of greater that 0.2° 29 may be observed when compared to the representative PXRD diffractograms provided in Figures 1 to 7. Thus, PXRD diffractograms of the crystalline form of the present invention may, in some circumstances, display the same relative peak positions as observed in the representative PXRD diffractograms provided in Figures 1 to 7, with the exception that each peak is offset in the same direction, and by approximately the same amount, such that the overall PXRD diffractogram is substantially the same in appearance as the PXRD diffractograms of Figures 1 to 7, with the exception of the uniform offset in peak positions. The observation of any such uniform peak shift in a PXRD diffractogram does not depart from the invention disclosed herein given that the relative peak positions of the individual peaks within the PXRD diffractogram remain consistent with the relative peak positions observed in the PXRD diffractograms of Figures 1 to 7.
[0033] Depending on the manner in which the crystalline forms are prepared, the methodology and instrument used for DSC analysis, it is understood that peaks corresponding with thermal events in a DSC thermogram may vary between ±2 °C from the values observed in the representative DSC thermogram provided in Figure 8 and described herein. Such variations are known and understood by a person of skill in the art, and any such variations do not depart from the invention disclosed herein.
[0034] As used herein, the term ‘crystalline form’ refers to a substance with a particular arrangement of molecular components in its crystal lattice, and which may be identified by physical characterization methods such as PXRD. As used herein, the term crystalline form is intended to comprise single-component and multiple-component crystalline forms of acalabrutinib maleate. Single-component forms of acalabrutinib maleate consist solely of acalabrutinib and maleic acid in the repeating unit of the crystal lattice. Multiplecomponent forms of acalabrutinib comprise solvates and hydrates of acalabrutinib maleate wherein solvent and/or water is also incorporated into the crystal lattice.
[0035] Multiple-component crystalline forms comprising more than one type of molecule, such as solvates, may have some variability in the exact molar ratio of their components depending on a variety of conditions used. For example, a molar ratio of components within a multi-component crystalline form provides a person of skill in the art information as to the general relative quantities of the components of the crystalline form. In many cases, the molar ratio may vary by ±20% from a stated range. For example, with respect to the present invention, a molar ratio of 1 :0.5 should be understood to include the ratios 1 :0.4 and 1 :0.6, as well as all of the individual ratios in between.
[0036] As used herein, the term “weight percentage” (wt%) refers to the ratio of the weight of a subject component to the weight of the subject mixture, using the same weight unit, expressed as a percentage. For example, in reference to water content, the term “weight percentage” (wt%) refers to the ratio: weight water I (weight water + weight acalabrutinib maleate), expressed as a percentage.
[0037] As used herein, the term “acalabrutinib maleate” refers to the maleic acid salt of the compound (1 ) having a molar ratio of acalabrutinib to maleic acid of 1 : 1 .
[0038] As used herein, the term “about” means “close to” and that variation from the exact value that follows the term is within amounts that a person of skill in the art would understand to be reasonable. For example, depending on the context, when the term “about” is used with respect to a numerical value, the value may vary within a reasonable range, such as within +/-10%, +/-5%, or +/-1 % of the stated value.
[0039] As used herein, the term “room temperature” refers to a temperature in the range of 20 °C to 25 °C.
[0040] As used herein, the term “volumes” refers to the parts of solvent of liquids by volume (mL) with respect to the weight of solute (g). For example, when an experiment is conducted using 1 g of starting material and 100 mL of solvent, it is said that 100 volumes of solvent is used.
[0041 ] As used herein, an “immediate-release” (IR) dosage form refers to a dosage form in which no deliberate effort has been made to modify the active pharmaceutical
ingredient release rate (wherein a disintegrant is not considered a modification in the context of capsules and tablets). For example, the pharmaceutical compositions of the present invention are preferably provided as immediate-release solid oral tablet dosage forms.
[0042] When describing the embodiments of the present invention there may be a common variance to a given temperature or time that would be understood or expected by the person skilled in the art to provide substantially the same result. For example, when reference is made to a particular temperature, it is to be understood by the person skilled in the art that there is an allowable variance of ±5 °C associated with that temperature. When reference is made to a particular time, it is to be understood that there is an allowable variance of ±10 minutes when the time is one or two hours, and ±1 hour when longer periods of time are referenced.
[0043] In one embodiment of the present invention, there is provided a new crystalline form of acalabrutinib maleate, acalabrutinib maleate Form APO-I, a solvate comprising acalabrutinib maleate and 1 ,2-propanediol. Preferably, in acalabrutinib maleate Form APO-I, the molar ratio of acalabrutinib maleate to 1 ,2-propanediol is about 1 :0.5.

EXAMPLES
[0079] The following non-limiting examples are illustrative of some of the aspects and embodiments of the invention described herein.
[0080] Unless otherwise noted, the acalabrutinib used as a starting material in the following examples was consistent with acalabrutinib Form 3, which is reported in US 10,899,767 B2.
[0081 ] PXRD diffractograms were recorded on a Broker D8 Discover powder X-ray diffractometer (Bruker-AXS, Karlsruhe, Germany). The sample holder was oscillated along X and Y axes during the measurement. The generator was a Micro-focus X-ray source (IMSTube: Cu tube with 1 .5406 A) with a voltage of 50 kV and current of 1 .00 mA, using a divergence slit of 0.3 mm and collimator of 0.3 mm. For each sample, one frame was collected using a still scan with a Pilatus 3R-100 kA detector at the distance of 154.72 mm from the sample. Raw data were evaluated using the program EVA (Bruker-AXS, Karlsruhe, Germany).
Differential Scanning Calorimetry Analysis:
[0082] The DSC thermogram was collected on a TA Instruments Q2000 DSC instrument. A sample (3.6850 mg) was weighed into a T-zero pan and was crimped closed. The sample was analyzed under a flow of nitrogen (50 ± 5 mL/min) at a scan rate of 10 °C/m inute between 25 °C and 250 °C.
Single Crystal Data Collection and Processing
[0083] The sample for SCXRD analysis was coated with a small amount of Paratone oil. All X-ray measurements were made on a Broker VENTURE Dual Source (Cu Ips/Mo IpS) single crystal diffractometer at a temperature of 100 K. From the initial indexing it was evident that the sample crystal was non-merohedrally twinned (vide infra). The unit cell dimensions were determined from 9974 reflections with 2.26° < 9 < 23.45°. The data collection strategy was a number of co and <p scans which collected data up to 54.21 ° (26). The frame integration was performed using SAINT (Bruker-AXS, SAINT Version V8.40B, 2016) within Apex4 (v2022.10-0). The resulting raw data was scaled and absorption corrected using a multi-scan averaging of symmetry eguivalent data using TWINABS (Bruker-AXS, TWINABS Version 2012.1 , 2012).
Single Crystal Structure Solution and Refinement
[0084] The crystal structure was solved by using an intrinsic phasing methodology with the SHELXT program (Sheldrick, G. M., Acta Cryst. 2015, A71, 3-8). All non-hydrogen
atoms were obtained from the initial solution and refined anisotropically, with hydrogen atoms (with the exceptions of those listed below) being introduced at idealized positions and allowed to ride on the parent atom. The position of the hydrogen atoms bound to most nitrogen and oxygen atoms (with the exception of those on 08, O7A, and O8A) were obtained from the difference Fourier map and allowed to refine isotropically. The twin fraction was refined and converged to a value of 0.2558. In the asymmetric unit, the entire PG solvent and one carbon atom (C6/C6D and C6A/C6B) in both acalabrutinib molecules were disordered over two orientations. The occupancy of the major orientations were refined to values of 0.577(7), 0.858(10), and 0.71 (3), respectively. The Flack parameter was calculated to be -0.2(5) using Parson quotients (Parsons, S.; Flack, H. D. and Wagner, T. Acta Cryst. 2013, B69, 249-259). The structural model was fit to the data using full matrix least-squares based on F2. The calculated structure factors included corrections for anomalous dispersion from the usual tabulation. The structure was refined using the SHELXL program from the SHELX suite of crystallographic software (Sheldrick, G. M., Acta Cryst. 2015, C71, 3-8) within 0lex2 (Dolomanov, O. V.; Bourhis, L. J.; Gildea, R. J.; Howard, J. A. K.; Puschmann, H., J. Appt. Crystallogr. 2009, 42, 339-341 ). Graphic plots were produced using the Mercury program suite (Macrae, C. F.; Bruno, I. J.; Chisholm, J. A.; Edington, P. R.; McCabe, P.; Pidcock, E.; Rodriguez- Monge, L.; Taylor, R.; van de Streek, J. and Wood, P. A. J. Appt. Cryst., 2008, 41, 466- 470) with anisotropic atoms displayed to 50% probability.
Example 1 : Preparation of Acalabrutinib Maleate Form APO-I
[0085] A solution of maleic acid (25.6 mg) in racemic 1 ,2-propanediol (0.8 mL) was added to acalabrutinib (101.0 mg), and the resulting suspension was heated with stirring at 50 °C for 8 hours. After this, the suspension was cooled to 10 °C in 10 °C increments with holding at each temperature for one hour (i.e. 40 °C, 30 °C, 20 °C, 10 °C). Finally, the suspension was cooled to 5 °C and stirred for 3 hours. Stirring was then discontinued and the suspension was allowed to sit at 5 °C overnight. Methyl f-butyl ether (0.8 mL) was then added, and the suspension briefly mixed. The solid was collected by filtration, washed with methyl f-butyl ether (4 x 1 mL), and allowed to air dry to afford acalabrutinib maleate Form APO-I (93.5 mg) as a white solid.
