PHARMACEUTICAL COMPOSITION
Field of the Invention : The present invention relates to pharmaceutical compositions comprising more than one active ingredient for oral administration comprising a 5HTy receptor agonist in combination with an NSAID (non-steroidal anti-inflamatory drug) as active ingredients, in particular a composition in solid-dosage form that is intended to be swallowed.
The compound 5-hydroxytryptamine (BHT or 5-HT), also known as serotonin or enteramine is a known vasoactive agent and endogenous neurotransmitter acting on receptors both within and outside the central nervous system and on blood vessels. Drugs acting on these receptors may be agonists or antagonists. These receptors have been further classified into several receptor sub classes, some of which themselves also contain subclasses. 5HT, receptor agonists are useful in a variety of conditions, notably the treatment of conditions associated with cephalic pain such as migraine, cluster headache, chronic paroxysmal hemicrania, headache associated with vascular disorders, headache associated with substances or their withdrawal, rebound headache and tension headache. SHT receptor agonists are well known in the art and the tem is to be broadly understood to include SHT; receptor agonists of all types including, but not limited to, 5HT-like receptor agonists, 5HTe receptor agonists, 5HT;p receptor agonists and SHT4¢ receptor agonists. Particular reference is made to the compounds sumatriptan (described for example in GB Patent No. 2162522, incorporated herein by reference), naratriptan, rizatriptan, zolmitriptan frovatriptan, eletriptan, almotriptan, avitriptan, donitriptan, alniditan, ALX-0646,
LY334370, U109221, 1S159 and PNY142633. Especial reference is made to the compound sumatriptan.
An extensive worldwide clinical trials program has demonstrated the efficacy and tolerability of sumatriptan (marketed in subcutaneous, oral, intranasal and rectal formulations) as an acute treatment for migraine.
While 5HT agonists are useful in the treatment of migraines, it has been found that in some patients that after an initial therapeutic effect, migraine symptoms are seen again within about 1-24 hours after the initial relief. That is, after a dosage of the therapeutic agent has been administered to a subject in an amount to effectively treat a migraine, and migraine palliation has been observed, ‘migraine symptoms occur again from as soon as about 1-8 hours after first relief to about 12-24 hours later. It will be appreciated that individual migraineurs display individualized symptoms and timing for this phenomenon as Will treatment with particular therapeutic agents.
While not being bound by any particular theory, sumatriptan and other 5-HT agents, are thought to exert their beneficial effect in migraineurs by either reducing the release of pro-inflammatory mediators around certain nerves and blood vessels or by vasoconstriction of selected blood vessels in the head or both. However, they are thought to be devoid of analgesic activity and it is believed that their pharmacologic actions are dependent upon reaching and/or maintaining certain blood concentrations and that these concentrations are relatively short-lived.
Relapse within the first 24 hours is well documented and occurs in up to 40-50% of patients who initially obtain relief but the cause is unknown ) The headache, which occurs under the circumstances described above, has been variously and interchangeably termed a “rebound”, "relapse", "recurrent" or "secondary" headache. The terms not withstanding, it is presently unknown as to whether this later headache is a continuation of the physiological chain of events that caused original headache, or a new headache due to other or repeated but unrelated underlying pathology. It is also possible that the follow on headache is a response to therapeutic agents which initially were successful in treating the initial migraine symptoms. The terms "rebound", “relapse”, recurrent” and "secondary" (as defined below) are considered synonymous as used herein without interferring a mechanism or cause of the headache described above.
In some forms of migraine, certain patients have found total or partial relief with the use of analgesics such as acetaminophen and phenacetin and other non- steriodal non-opiate analgesics not generally classified as anti-Inflammatory. While, these agents, when taken alone, are rarely effective in providing complete and rapid relief of all the symptoms of migraine, especially when the symptoms of the attack already include nausea and vomiting, in combination therapy of the present invention their effectiveness is surprisingly increased.
NSAIDs are well known in the art and particular reference is made to diclofenac, nabumetone, naproxen, ketorolac, ibuprofen, flurbiprofen, ketoprofen, oxaprozin, etodolac, indomethacin, mefanamic acid, tolfenamic acid and COX-2 selective inhibitors such as celecoxib, rofecoxib (VIOXX), valdecoxib, parecoxib, 4- (4-cyclohexyl-2-methyl-5-oxazolyl)-2-fluorobenzenesulfonamide (JTE-522), MK633 (etoricoxib), nimesulide, flosulide, DFP, 2-(4-ethoxy-phenyl)-3-(4-methanesuttonyl- phenyl)-pyrazolo[1,5-b]pyridazine, meloxicam, RS57067, piroxicam, NS398, L- 745,337 and COX-189.
NSAIDs such as naproxen sodium are thought to relieve migraine pain through their known analgesic action, but may also relieve symptoms by reducing the neurogenic and vascular inflammation secondary to their known anti-inflammatory actions or by other mechanisms such as, but not limited to, platelet inhibition or inhibition of prostaglandin synthesis. In addition, naproxen and naproxen sodium have half-lives on the order of 12-15 hours and produce a long-lasting effect.
US Patent number 6,060499 discloses a method of treating migraine in a human comprising co-timely administering a therapeutically effective amount of a
SHT agonist coordinated with a therapeutically effective amount of an analgesic, particularly a long acting NSAID. Such administration is contemplated in separate formulations or combined in unit dosage form. US Patent 6060449 states that without being bound by theory it is believed that combining a 5HT agonist with a long acting NSAID an enhanced initial therapeutic effect may be achieved together with a lower incidence of relapse headaches.
While, not being bound by any particular theory, it is believed that the “relapse” headache often assoclated with 5-HT agonises is due to the original beneficial effect of the 5-HT agonises wearing off because of their short duration of action while a) the underlying trigger for the original migraine episode is still present and/or b) while the causative agent for the pain and other symptoms, presumably the vascular and/or neurogenic inflammation, still exists. in this context, the addition of a NSAID to a 5-HT agonist extends the period of effective anti-migraine action and prevents the relapse headache for occurring (or “rebound moderates”), whatever is its cause.
Oral administration constitutes a preferred route for administration of pharmaceuticals since this route is particularly convenient and acceptable for patients. For combination therapy, administration of one formulation comprising two or more active ingredients may also be preferred. An important consideration in the preparation of formulations containing more than one active ingredient is the stability and efficacy of the Ingredients given that the mutual interaction of the agents themselves or the agents with excipients may lead to instability of one or all of the active ingredients or alteration of the efficacy of one or all of the active ingredients.
The present inventors have surprisingly found that when granular preparations of sumatriptan and naproxen sodium were admixed and formulated into one tablet, for example by direct compression, the resultant formulation had an unacceptable dissolution time. For instance, the dissolution of both components was slower than expected leading to slower absorption. This is possibly because the naproxen sodium disables the dissolution of the sumatriptan containing granules.
Surprisingly, when the active ingredients were separated from each other into separate discrete zones with respect to each other and formulated into a solid oral dosage form, the resultant formulation exhibited a satisfactory rate of dissolution of the sumatriptan and the naproxen sodium.
Accordingly the invention provides a pharmaceutical composition comprising a 5HT, receptor agonist or a pharmaceutically acceptable derivative thereof in combination with an NSAID or pharmaceutically acceptable derivative thereof wherein the 5HT, receptor agonist and NSAID are located in discrete zones with respect to each other wherein each zone comprises the active ingredient and optionally a carrier.

Suitable 5HT, receptor agonists for use according to the invention include sumatriptan, naratriptan, zolmitriptan, eletriptan, rizatriptan, frovatriptan, almotriptan, avitriptan, donitriptan, alniditan, ALX-0646, LY334370, U1092291, 1S159 (that is, 3- 5 (2-aminoethyl)-5-Jacetamidyl-3-(4-hydroxyphenyl)-propionamidyl-acetamidyl-oxy}- indole) and PNY142633 (that is, (s)-3,4-dihydro-1-[2-[4-[4-aminocarbonyi)phenyl]-1- piperazinyllethyl}-N-methyl-1H-2-benzopyran-6-carboximide). Naratriptan and sumatriptan are preferred, with sumatriptan being particularly preferred. A preferred form of sumatriptan is the succinate salt, particularly the 1:1 succinate. The SHT, receptor agonists may be used alone or in combination with each other.
Suitable NSAIDS include diclofenac, nabumetone, naproxen, ketorolac, ibuprofen, flurbiprofen, ketoprofen, oxaprozin, etodolac, indomethacin, mefanamic acid, tolfenamic acid and COX-2 selective inhibitors such as celecoxib, rofecoxib ) (VIOXX), valdecoxib, parecoxib, 4-(4-cyclohexyl-2-methyl-5-oxazolyl)-2- fluorobenzenesulfonamide (JTE-522), MK633 (etoricoxib), nimesulide, flosulide,
DFP, 2-(4-ethoxy-phenyl)-3-(4-methanesulfonyl-phenyl)-pyrazolo[1 ,5-bjpyridazine, meloxicam, RS57067, piroxicam, NS398, L-745,337 and COX-189. Preferred are
COX-189 and naproxen. Particularly preferred is naproxen, most preferably in the form of a naproxen sodium.
By “pharmaceutically acceptable derivative” is meant any pharmaceutically acceptable salt, solvate, ester or amide or salt or solvate of such ‘ester or amide of the active ingredient or any other compound which, on administration to the recipient is capable of providing (directly or indirectly) the active ingredient or an active metabolic or residue thereof.
Suitable pharmaceutically acceptable salts according to the invention include acid addition salts formed with inorganic acids such as hydrochlorides, hydrobromides, phosphates and sulfates and with organic acids, for example tarbrates, maleaves, fumerates, succinates and sulfonates.
In one aspect of the invention, the discrete zones may be provided by the addition of excipients. Therefore the invention provides a pharmaceutical composition, comprising a 5HT, receptor agonist or a pharmaceutically acceptable derivative thereof and a pharmaceutically acceptable carrier in combination with an
NSAID, wherein the 5HT, receptor agonist and NSAID are each dispersed within its own pharmaceutically acceptable carrier in the pharmaceutical composition.
Suitably, the carrier for the 5HT, receptor agonist, is different in composition to that of the carrier for the NSAID.
In one embodiment of the invention the SHT, receptor agonist and its carrier are substantially in admixture with the NSAID and its carrier.
Suitably the SHT, receptor agonist and its carrier are substantially in homogenous admixture with the NSAID and its carrier.
Suitably, the pre-formed 5HT4 receptor agonist /carrier mixture is admixed with the pre-formed NSAID/carrier mixture on preparation of the composition of the invention. For example the SHT, receptor agonist Jcarrier mixture is admixed with the ~ 10 NSAID/carrier mixture in a capsule form.
More preferably, the 5HT, receptor agonist /carrier mixture is compacted with the NSAID/carrier mixture in the composition, suitably to form a tablet. For example, the admixture of the 5HT; receptor agonist Joarrier mixture with the NSAID/carrier mixture is compacted to form a tablet.
A suitable carrier for the SHT; receptor agonist comprises one or more components selected from: a binding agent, a filler, a lubricant, and effervescent couple, a wicking agent, a glidant, a disintegrant and a wetting agent.
Suitable carriers for the NSAID comprises one or more components selected from: a binding agent, a filler, a lubricant, an effervescent couple, a wicking agent, a glidant, a disintegrant and a wetting agent. :
In a more preterred aspect of the invention, a layer provides a suitable zone, generally a compressed layer, of the active agent. Thus, the formulation may comprise layers, generally shaped layers of the active agents.
A suitable formulation is a tablet formulation. Thus one particular formulation is a multilayer tablet wherein the active agents are in separate layers. One particular formulation comprises a compressed form, for example a tablet, of one active agent formulated with a powdered form of the other active agent. Alternatively, a tablet can be prepared by overcompression such that it would include a core of one active ingredient surrounded by an over coat of another active ingredient.
More preferably, the tablets containing active agents In discrete zones with respect to each other may be multilayer tablets. For example they may be bilayer tablets, where a layer of the form of one active agent is compressed, the form of the other active agent then added and compressed onto the layer of the first active agent. They may also be trilayer tablets prepared in an analogous manner. The active Ingredients may be formulated as granules if appropriate.
The discrete zones may be separated by a barrier layer, preferably an inert barrier layer. The barrier layer conveniently comprises a filler, such as lactose, and a lubricant, such as magnesium stearate
As indicated, such compositions may conveniently be produced as tablets or capsules. Tablets and capsules may be produced by admixture of granular forms of the active agents followed by compression.
Granules of each active agent may be obtained by combination of the active agent with appropriate excipients, for example hydroxypropyl methyl cellulose, microcrystalline cellulose, sodium starch glycollate, lactose, and magnesium stearate, followed by granulation using conventional techniques.
Where granules of either active agent are produced, preferably high shear granulation techniques are employed. In a preferred embodiment, granulation of both active agents is carried out.
Capsules may be produced by admixture of pelleted forms or granular forms of the active agents followed by encapsulation.
Pellets of each active agent may be obtained by combination of the active agent with appropriate excipients, for example microcrystalline celiulose and lactose, followed by pellet formation using conventional techniques. Granules are prepared as described herein. The production of tablets and capsules may be undertaken using techniques that are well known in the art.
In the context of the present invention, by “for oral administration” is meant that the pharmaceutical composition is in a solid-dosage form that is intended to be swallowed whole, and is not primarily intended for dissolution or suspension in water prior to administration; however, the composition of the present invention may in certain embodiments meet the requirements of a dispersible tablet in terms of fineness of dispersion and rate of dispersion as defined by the European
Pharmacopoeia and/or British Pharmacopoeia. Such dosage forms may take the form of tablets and capsules and may be prepared according to conventional techniques well known in the art of pharmacy for the manufacture of solid-dosage forms. Preferably, the composition of the present invention is in the form of a ‘swallow’ tablet. For the avoidance of doubt, a 'swallow' tablet is a tablet which is intended to be swallowed whole (generally with a small amount of liquid, e.g. water); it is not one which is primarily intended for dissolution or suspension in water prior to administration (such as, for example, a tablet as described in WQ092/11003 and which also contains a substantial quantity of both components of an effervescent couple), and also it is not one which Is primarily intended for dissolution 'in the mouth’ (in an ‘oral melt’ form).
WO 92/15295 (Glaxo Group Ltd.) incorporated herein by reference discloses known solid-dosage form pharmaceutical compositions, in particular film coated tablets useful in the treatment of conditions associated with cephalic pain. These formulations may form the SHT, receptor agonist containing zone.
Unfortunately there may be certain disadvantages when treating conditions associated with cephalic pain. For example such conditions, particularly migraine, are associated with nausea, vomiting and gastrointestinal dysfunction in the form of reduced gastric mobility and detayed gastric emptying which potentially lead to delay and/or impairment of drug absorption.
It would thus be desirable to have the active ingredients, particularly the 5HT, receptor agonist formulated to ensure rapid dissolution and absorption. Thus in a preferred aspect of the invention there is provided a pharmaceutical composition comprising a 5HT, receptor agonist or a pharmaceutically acceptable derivative thereof in combination with an NSAID or pharmaceutically acceptable derivative thereof wherein the 5HT, receptor agonist and NSAID are located in discrete zones with respect to each other wherein each zone comprises the active ingredient and : optionally a carrier and further wherein at least the zone comprising the 5HT, receptor agonist is formulated to ensure rapid absorption. . By “rapid absorption” applied to 5HT; receptor agonist is meant that greater than about 70 %, preferably greater than about 80%, more preferably greater than about 90% of the active ingredient is dissolved in simulated gastric fluid (SGF) within five minutes in USPII apparatus at the discriminating paddie speed of 10 rpm.
In a preferred aspect the formulation is a tablet comprising 2 or more layers wherein one layer comprising a SHT; receptor agonist or pharmaceutically acceptable derivative thereof is formulated to ensure rapid absorption and another layer comprises an NSAID or pharmaceutically acceptable derivative thereof and optionally a carrier. Most preferably the tablet is a bilayer tablet comprising a layer comprising a 5HT; receptor agonist or pharmaceutically acceptable derivative thereof which is formulated to ensure rapid absorption and a layer comprising an NSAID or pharmaceutically acceptable derivative thereof and optionally a carrier.
Thus in a preferred aspect, in a 5HT4 receptor agonist layer formulated for rapid absorption, the SHT4 receptor agonist or pharmaceutically acceptable derivative thereof is formulated together with an effervescent couple in combination with a disintegrant, a filler (preferably an insoluble filler), and a wicking agent. This formulation has been shown to have a faster onset of action and/or higher efficacy rate for a patient suffering from cephalic pain.
A layer of the pharmaceutical formulation comprising the NSAID or pharmaceutically acceptable derivative thereof may be formulated according to well known NSAID formulations.

The invention will now be illustrated by the following Examples which should not be construed as a limitation thereto
Example 1
Sumatriptan Succinate Granulation and Naproxen Sodium Direct Compression
Tablets ' The tablets were prepared by compression on a hydraulic Carver press using conventional techniques. The aim was to prepare a single tablet providing rapid dissolution of 119mg of sumatriptan succinate (equivalent to 85mg sumatriptan free base) and appropriate release rate of 550mg naproxen sodium (equivalent to 500mg naproxen free acid). A target dissolution profile for sumatriptan succinate was for 95% to be dissolved in 5 minutes at dissolution test conditions previously described.
As for naproxen sodium, the target profile was one that was competitive with the gold standard, Anaprox® DS (550 mg naproxen sodium, Roche), which released approximately 57% in 15 minutes, under the same dissolution test conditions. Figure 1 shows the dissolution profile obtained for naproxen sodium from Anaprox® 550 mg commercial tablets.
The initial step of formulation development was to determine the feasibility of a combined direct compression of the two drug substances. Formulations were prepared with various fillers and binders (Anhydrous Emcompress®, Avicel PH® 102, and Prosolv SMCC™ 90) and select disintegrants, glidants and lubricants, and the available Montrose-sourced sumatriptan succinate and naproxen sodium USP, from
Albemarle Corporation. Representative formulations are presented in Table 1.

By combinations of carbonate bases (i.e. sodium bicarbonate) and an acid, an effervescent reaction would take place spontaneously in the presence of moisture to form water and carbon dioxide. Effer-soda™, by SPI Pharma, is a “highly stable, surface modified sodium bicarbonate powder, which has a larger particle size range and in turn better flow characteristics and less sticking propensity”.
However it was found that however superior the physical characteristics of the 90-micron naproxen sodium, the combined direct compression efforts of the two drug substances were unsuccessful.
Example 2
Sumatriptan Succinate Fast Dispersible Tablet (FDT)_ Granulation and
Naproxen Sodium Direct Compression
One of the formulations investigated combining a rapid dispersible formulation of sumatriptan in the combination product was to have rapid disintegration of the sumatriptan succinate material.
The formulation is shown in Table 3.

As a result of using the Suma FDT formulation approach, the apparent sticking problems observed with the previous formulations of the formulation was reduced, but not eliminated. Figure 2 shows a dissolution profile for sumatriptan succinate (left) indicating 33% sumatriptan released in 5 minutes, compared to 95% in 5 minutes for the FDT granulation alone. Naproxen Sodium dissolution (right) is at 67% in 15 minutes, comparable to Anaprox DS.
The dissolution of both components was slower than expected with FDT granulation incorporated into the formulation. This result led to the conclusion that the naproxen sodium was disabling the dissolution of the sumatriptan granules when blended together.
Example 3
The next approach was a bilayer tablet. The introduction of the FDT granule formulation as a separate layer containing sumatriptan succinate allowed for reduced sticking on the sumatriptan side.
The direct compression processing of the naproxen sodium material included disintegrants, lubricants and fillers A representative formulation composition is shown in Table 4.

Combining the two formulations as separate layers in a bilayer tablet allowed for the rapid release of sumatriptan succinate from the tablet, without as much interference from naproxen sodium. Figure 3 shows the dissolution profile for this bilayer approach.
The dissolution profiles for sumatriptan succinate and naproxen sodium from the FDT based bilayer combination tablet shows the sumatriptan succinate was dissolved at 95% in 5 minutes. This result confirmed the benefit of a bilayer tablet in allowing the sumatriptan succinate to release rapidly. Additionally, the Naproxen sodium released is approximately 59% in 15 minutes, very close to the gold standard
Anaprox® DS.
Examples 4 to 6
Further bilayer formulations ave illustrated in Table 5; these all involved processing of both the sumatriptan succinate FDT layer and the naproxen sodium layer by granulation methods.

Preparation of Examples 4 to 6 involved the following standard formulation steps: ¢ Naproxen Sodium layer: - High shear granulation - Fluid bed drying of granulation; milling - Dry blend of granulation and other excipients e Sumatriptan Succinate layer: - High shear granulation
- Fluid bed drying of granulation; milling - Dry blend of granulation and other excipients « Compression as a Bilayer Tablet « Conventional aqueous film-coating, e.g. with Opadry, Opaglos
The dissolution profile for the tablet formulation of Example 4 is shown in
Figure 4 (USP | Apparatus, pH 6.8, phosphate buffer, 50rpm, n=6 tablets). This shows that the sumatriptan succinate was dissolved at 95% in 5 minutes. This result further confirmed the benefit of a bilayer tablet in allowifg the sumatriptan succinate to release rapidly. Additionally, the Naproxen sodium released is greater than 70% in 15 minutes, above the gold standard Anaprox® DS.
