Patent Application
20200108008
The invention relates to the field of olaparib pharmaceutical preparations, in particular to an oral sustained and controlled release pharmaceutical composition of olaparib and the use thereof.
Olaparib, whose chemical name is 1-(cyclopropylcarboxyl)-4-[5-[(3,4-dihydro-4-oxo-1-phthalazinyl)methyl]-2-fluorobenzoyl]piperazine with a molecular formula of C24H23FN4O3 and a molecular weight of 434.46, has the following chemical structure:
Olaparib (trade name: LYNPARZAR) is a new drug developed by AstraZeneca for tumor-targeted therapy. The US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approved its capsules in December 2014 and its tablets in August 2017. It is the first poly ADP transferase (PARP) inhibitor for cancer treatment approved by FDA. Poly ADP transferase (PARP) is a key factor in the DNA excision repair pathways, while olaparib is able to inhibit PARP enzyme activity, making the single strand of DNA cleavage unrepairable, increasing genomic instability, and further leading to cellular apoptosis. Especially olaparib has a strong killing effect on tumor cells with homologous recombination repair defects. This action mode of olaparib endows it with therapeutic potential for a variety of tumors. In addition, due to the specific inhibition of olaparib to the repair ability of DNA damage, the drug will also be able to avoid tumor resistance after chemotherapy, enhance DNA damage after chemotherapy, so as to enhance the killing effect on the tumor. At present, a plurality of phase III clinical studies are conducting in AstraZeneca to investigate the treatment of olaparib for cancers associated with BRCA gene mutations, such as ovarian cancer, stomach cancer, and breast cancer etc.
As is known to all, in the traditional tumor chemotherapy mode, due to the lack of specific therapeutic targets, anti-tumor drugs will seriously damage the normal cells of the human body while killing of tumor cells, which will bring greater toxic side effects to the body. Targeted therapy, also known as “biological missile”, has attracted a great deal of interest from researchers and medical workers in recent years due to its high specificity, less side effects, and good efficacy. Most tumors are, accompanied by DNA damage or homologous recombination repair defects during the process of proliferation. Olaparib can specifically inhibit the growth of tumor cell lines, increase the toxicity on tumor cells and anti-tumor activity, and has no killing effect on tissue cells with normal DNA repair function. It is a typical drug for tumor targeted therapy so far. The emergence of Olaparib provides a treat weapon and a survival opportunity to the patients with advanced tumors carrying BRCA1 and BRCA2 mutations, as well as an example of a deeper understanding of the underlying pathogenesis of the disease and individualized treatment.
According to the results of preclinical and clinical pharmacodynamic data researched and reported by AstraZeneca, it can be seen that the steady-state plasma concentration of olaparib in vivo is directly related to its enzyme inhibitory activity and side effects. A research on a mouse model of breast cancer revealed that the effect of reducing tumor volume can only be achieved when the blood exposure continues to be greater than 50% PARP enzyme inhibition level (IC50 value) for more than 13 h or greater than IC90 value for more than 6 h (FDA reviews, NDA 3663410). Results obtained by AstraZeneca's mechanism model method showed a significant increase in single-strand break and clinical activity when the steady-state free plasma concentration reached above IC90. However, the immediate release capsule preparation of olaparib is usually rapidly peaked within 0.5 to 3 h after oral administration and is rapidly eliminated. Therefore, in order to achieve a higher plasma concentration (>IC90 value) and exert a strong enzyme inhibition effect, the 50 mg standard immediate release capsule preparation developed by AstraZeneca needs to be administrated at a dose of higher than 200 mg/2 times/day, in order to maintain at a level above IC90 for a long time to achieve the desired PARP enzyme inhibitory activity, while the steady-state plasma concentrations at the dose of 100 mg/2 times/day or 400 mg/l times/day are difficult to maintain at the level above IC90 for a long time. The results of the phase II clinical efficacy study also showed that, the patient under the dose of 400 mg/2 times/day showed a quantitative advantage in the progression-free survival comparing to those under the dose of 200 mg/2 times/day, the progression-free survival for the former is 8.8 months, while for the latter is 6.5 months; and, in addition, the overall effective rate for the former is 33%, while for the latter is 25%. Although there are not statistically significant differences in therapeutic effects for the two modes of administration, considering the quantitative advantages shown by the experimental results, AstraZeneca finally chose the dose of 400 mg/2 times/day for new drug application and the marketing of capsule products. In addition, AstraZeneca's Olaparib tablets newly marketed in 2017 has a dose of 300 mg/2 times/day.
However, the immediate release preparation of olaparib still shows many limitations in the process of research and development, production and clinical application.
1) Severe plasma concentration peak and valley fluctuation, and obvious dose-limiting toxicity. Although the immediate release preparation can immediately reach the plasma concentration level required for PARP enzyme inhibition, it is eliminated faster in vivo. A high oral dose (capsule 400 mg, BID or tablets 300 mg, BID) is required in order to maintain the plasma concentration level required for effective enzyme inhibition for a long period, which results in a large fluctuation range of steady-state plasma concentrations of olaparib (400 mg capsules, BID, Cmin,ss<1 g/ml; Cmax,ss>6 μg/mL; 300 mg tablets, BID, Cmin,ss˜1 μg/ml, Cmax,ss>7 μg/mL), and a steady-state plasma concentration peak which is several times or even ten times higher than the PARP enzyme IC90 value, generating a lot of serious toxic side effects, including common toxic side effects such as nausea, fatigue, vomiting, diarrhea, taste disorders, etc., and serious side effects such as myelodysplastic syndrome, acute myeloid leukemia and pneumonia.
2) Low bioavailability, requiring large administration dose. The bioavailability of the commercially available capsule is about 10 to 20% with a daily dose of 800 mg. Although the bioavailability of the tablet is improved to some extent, the daily dose is still 600 mg. Since the efficacy of the drug is related to the maintenance time of the enzyme inhibition rate, a large dose is required in order to maintain the plasma concentration of free drug required for PARP enzyme inhibition, and thus the drug utilization rate is low.
3) Inconvenient clinical administration and high cost. The high oral dose of the drug (400 mg dose, eight 0# capsules, BID) also leads to high cost in production, packaging, storage and transportation of the drug, and poor patient compliance.
In order to further improve the clinical therapeutic effect of olaparib for tumors and reduce the side effects of the drug, it is necessary to provide an excellent preparation that can precisely regulate the plasma concentration and fluctuation range of olaparib.
The patents related to the preparations of olaparib include: olaparib nanoparticle preparation (WO2015031536A1), olaparib solid dispersion and its common tablets and capsules (CN104434809A), olaparib solid dispersion and its tablets (WO2010041051, CN102238945A), etc., which are specifically as follows.
1) WO2015031536A1 discloses an olaparib nanoparticle preparation, wherein the olaparib cationic liposomes of the invention have a particle size of 80 to 200 nm, and after loaded with a drug (or even modified with PEG), they are placed in a degradable polymeric matrix to deliver the drug in the form of an injection. Compared with oral olaparib, the olaparib nanoparticle preparation prolongs the plasma concentration half-life of the drug, and at the same time, enters the blood vessels of a tumor tissue in the form of nanoparticles, and slowly releases the drug, thereby achieving sustained release function.
2) CN104434809A discloses an olaparib solid dispersion, wherein the olaparib solid dispersion of the invention is one prepared by using povidone K 30 as a main material via solvent evaporation, spray drying or hot melt extrusion, and it may be then mixed and compressed with other fillers, lubricants, etc., or prepared into a capsule preparation.
3) WO2010041051 A1 discloses an olaparib solid dispersion preparation which effectively improves the bioavailability of olaparib by preparing the solid dispersion preparation.
As can be seen from the above patent search results, there is no relevant research on oral sustained and controlled release preparation of olaparib.
The absorption of the immediate release preparation of olaparib is not ideal, and multiple high doses are required, resulting in a high steady-state plasma concentration peak and a large plasma concentration fluctuation (400 mg, BID, Cmin,ss<1 μg/ml; Cmax,ss>6 μg/mL; 300 mg tablets, BID, Cmin,ss˜1 μg/ml, Cmax,ss>7 μg/mL), and thus the olaparib immediate release preparation has an uncontrollable clinical efficacy and a number of security issues.
The primary object of the present invention is to control the release behavior of olaparib according to its biological properties and the efficacy and safety requirements of clinical treatment, so as to precisely control the absorption rate and absorption time of olaparib in the gastrointestinal tract, control the in vivo plasma concentration level and its fluctuation range, maintain the in vivo steady-state plasma concentration at a level effective for inhibiting PARP enzyme in a long term, improve the anti-tumor effect of olaparib, and reduce the adverse reactions after administration.
Another object of the present invention is to provide an excellent preparation that minimizes the size and/or amount of tablets or capsules required for a therapeutically effective dose, with a frequency as low as possible, and improve patient compliance.
In order to achieve the above object, the present invention provides an olaparib oral sustained and controlled release pharmaceutical composition, which has controllable in vivo absorption behavior, plasma concentration and PARP enzyme inhibition level, and has advantages in improving olaparib loading and/or oral absorption and/or bioavailability and/or plasma concentration control and/or enzyme inhibition level control, and thus it can be used as the sole preparation or in combination with other therapies to treat cancer.
The olaparib oral sustained and controlled release pharmaceutical composition of the invention comprises: an olaparib in an improved dissolution form; and a release rate adjusting matrix polymer (also referred to as a release regulator). In addition, according to the prepared dosage form, a semi-permeable controlled release coating material, a seal coating material, a disintegrating agent, a coating powder, a plasticizer, a porogen, an expansive material, a filler, an osmotic pressure regulator (also known as osmotic agents), lubricants, adhesives (also known as binders), dyes (also known as colorants), anti-adherents (also known as anti-sticking agents), opacifiers, diluents and/or other pharmaceutically acceptable additives may also be included.
The pharmaceutically active ingredient olaparib in the olaparib pharmaceutical composition of the invention is an insoluble drug, and thus it is firstly subjected to solubilization treatment to prepare a solubilized composition, so as to improve dissolution of the drug. Without being limited to any theory, the inventors believe that the solubilization treatment can be performed by chemical means to prepare a salt form compound of; or by mixing olaparib with a matrix polymer which can improve drug solubility, to change the dispersion specific surface area in the powder of the active drug preparation composition, thereby improving the dissolution properties of the drug. The solubilization treatment may include co-grinding, high pressure homogenization, coprecipitation, solvent evaporation or melt extrusion, and the like.
The olaparib in an improved dissolution form mainly includes: an olaparib salt (which may be selected from the group consisting of hydrochloride, besylate, sulfate, maleate, camphorate, etc.), an olaparib co-grinding mixture, an olaparib nanocrystal and an olaparib solid dispersion. The olaparib co-grinding mixture, olaparib nanocrystal and olaparib solid dispersion can improve the solubility and dissolution properties of olaparib in the controlled release dosage form while improving the absorption and bioavailability of the drug.
The olaparib co-grinding mixture consists of the pharmaceutically active ingredient olaparib, a matrix polymer for solubilization and other additives, and may be prepared by co-grinding the ingredients. The particle size of the mixture powder is generally sufficiently ground to less than 100 microns. Without being limited to any theory, the co-grinding can increase the dispersion specific surface area of the drug in the solid preparation powder, thereby improving the dissolution properties of the drug.
In the co-grinding mixture, based on the total weight of the co-grinding mixture, olaparib is 5 to 60 wt %, preferably 20 to 40 wt %, the matrix polymer for solubilization is 40 to 95 wt %, preferably 40 to 80 wt %, and other additives are 0 to 15 wt %, preferably 0.2 to 10 wt %. The total amount of the above various components is 100 wt %.
The olaparib nanocrystal of the present invention consists of the pharmaceutically active ingredient olaparib, a matrix polymer for solubilization, and/or other additives, and is obtained by preparing the components into nanosized particles by high pressure homogenization or coprecipitation. The high pressure homogenization method may be performed as follows: a crude crystal suspension is prepared by high-speed shearing of an aqueous solution of the pharmaceutically active ingredient olaparib and the matrix polymer for solubilization, and then is added to a high pressure homogenizer, and the high pressure homogenization is performed several times, until the prepared crystal particles reached 1000 nm or less, the sample is lyophilized to prepare a uniformly dispersed olaparib nanocrystal powder. The coprecipitation method may be performed as follows: the pharmaceutically active ingredient olaparib is first dissolved in a small amount of an organic solvent such as acetone, rapidly added to a large amount of an aqueous solution in which the matrix polymer for solubilization is dissolved, and ultrasonically treated with a ultrosonic probe at high frequency (a power of 100 w or more) to ensure the formation and uniform dispersion of the crystal nucleus of the pharmaceutically active drug, until a stable dispersion of the nanocrystal solution is formed, and the sample is lyophilized to prepare a uniformly dispersed olaparib nanocrystal powder. By prepared into the nanocrystals, the dispersed particle diameter of the pharmaceutically active ingredient olaparib in the solid powder can be reduced, and the specific surface area of the active drug is remarkably improved, thereby improving the dissolution property of the drug. Without being limited to any theory, the nanocrystal can increase the dispersion specific surface area of olaparib in the solid preparation composition powder, thereby improving the dissolution properties of the drug.
In the olaparib nanocrystal, based on the total weight of the olaparib nanocrystal, olaparib is 10 to 100 wt %, preferably 20 to 50 wt %; the matrix polymer for solubilization is 0 to 75%, preferably 0 to 65%, and other additives are 0 to 10 wt %, preferably 0 to 5% wt %. The total amount of the above various components is 100 wt %. The nanocrystal composition has a particle size of 50 to 1000 nm.
The solid dispersion in the present invention consists of the pharmaceutically active ingredient olaparib, a matrix polymer for solubilization, and other additives. In the solid dispersion, based on the total weight of the solid dispersion, olaparib is 5 to 50 wt %, preferably 10 to 40 wt %, more preferably 20 to 40 wt %, and the matrix polymer for solubilization is 45 to 95 wt %, preferably 50 to 80 wt %, other additives are 0 to 12 wt %, preferably 0 to 10 wt %. The total amount of the above various components is 100 wt %. The solid dispersion can be prepared by solvent evaporation or melt extrusion. The solvent evaporation method may be carried out by dissolving the drug olaparib, the matrix polymer for solubilization and/or other additives into a volatile organic solvent or organic mixed solvent, and volatilizing the organic solvent under reduced pressure, and drying in a vacuum drying oven to give a solid dispersion of olaparib. The melt extrusion method may be carried out by directly adding a uniformly mixed mixture of the drug olaparib, the matrix polymer for solubilization and/or other additive powders into a melt extruder, and collecting the extrudate of the melt. Without being limited to any theory, the solid dispersion enables the pharmaceutically active ingredient olaparib to be in a high-energy-state solid dispersion state, in which olaparib is dispersed in molecular level in the solid powder of the preparation composition, thereby maximizing the specific surface area of the drug. This improves the dissolution properties of the drug.
In the olaparib co-grinding mixture, olaparib nanocrystals and olaparib solid dispersion of the invention, the matrix polymer for solubilization refers to a polymer capable of stabilizing and/or solubilizing olaparib particles or molecules, and may be one or a combination of two or more selected from the group consisting of povidone, copovidone, polyoxyethylene, Soluplus, hypromellose phthalate (HPMCP), hydroxypropylcellulose succinate acetate, polyethylene glycol, poloxamer, polymethacrylic acid, polyethyl acrylate, 2-hydroxypropyl-β-cyclodextrin, hypromellose (HPMC), polymethacrylate, hydroxypropyl cellulose, cellulose acetate phthalate (CAP), and other pharmaceutically acceptable polymers for solubilization.

The olaparib pharmaceutical composition of the invention can be used for preparing a medicament for preventing or treating a tumor, preferably, the tumor is selected from various types of tumors with defects in DNA repair function, in particular for preparing a medicament for preventing or treating a combination of two or more cancers related to BRCA gene mutation, such as ovarian cancer, gastric cancer, breast cancer, and the like, and for preparing a medicament for preventing or treating a tumor associated with BRCA1 and BRCA2 gene mutation.
The olaparib pharmaceutical composition of the present invention has a controlled release behavior, that is, the release behavior and release amount thereof are controllable in a predetermined period of time in a release medium meeting sink conditions. When the release behavior is measured in a buffer solution with a pH of 1.2 to 7.8 at 37° C. using the apparatus II of the dissolution test method in the Chinese Pharmacopoeia, the release amount in 1 h is less than 50%, preferably less than 40%, more preferably 10 to 30% of the total amount of olaparib; the release amount in 16 h is greater than 80%, preferably >90% of the total amount of olaparib.
The olaparib pharmaceutical composition of the invention can controls the absorption rate and absorption time of olaparib in the gastrointestinal tract by controlling the release behavior and the release amount. Compared with the immediate release capsule preparation, the maximum plasma concentration value (Cmax) of olaparib of the pharmaceutical composition of the invention at the same dose is reduced by at least 10 to 70%, and the plasma concentration peak time (T1/2) extends at least 30%. Through the control of plasma concentration, peak time and area under the plasma concentration-time curve, the regulation on the steady-state plasma concentration level, the fluctuation range of free plasma concentration, PARP enzyme inhibition, in vivo safety and frequency of administration of olaparib are realized.

A dose of 100 to 1400 mg once or twice daily can maintain a steady state plasma concentration level for effective PARP enzyme inhibition for a long time. The pharmaceutical composition of the invention can maintain, for a long-term, olaparib at the effective concentration level (the plasma concentrations for 50% and 90% PARP enzyme activity inhibition, which are respectively the IC50 and IC90 values of PARP enzyme activity) needed for the inhibition of PARP enzyme activity in vivo through regulation of the plasma concentration of olaparib, so as to accurately regulate the activity of PARP enzyme in vivo, and achieve high-efficiency and low-toxic treatment of the drug. The plasma concentration of olaparib above the IC50 and IC90 values can be maintained at least 13 h and 6 h respectively.
The sustained and controlled release pharmaceutical composition of the invention can precisely regulate the plasma concentration level and fluctuation range of olaparib, which is beneficial to the long-term maintenance of the plasma concentration level required for enzyme inhibition, and reduces the fluctuation range of plasma concentration, thereby improving the PARP enzyme inhibition rate of the tumor cells and anti-tumor efficacy and meanwhile reducing the adverse reactions of the tumor patients after administration, and increasing the compliance of the patients.
The olaparib pharmaceutical composition of the invention has the following advantages as compared with the conventional immediate release preparation:
1) It can realize the controlled release and absorption of the drug, provide accurate in vivo plasma concentration and long-term stable high level of tumor enzyme inhibition, and long lasting effect;
2) The drug absorption rate can be controlled, the plasma concentration range can be adjusted, the fluctuation of plasma concentration is small, and the adverse reactions of the patient medication are reduced;
3) It can be administered once daily, which reduces the cumbersome process of common preparations and is more convenient for clinical use;
4) Due to the controllable plasma concentration and fluctuation range, the safety window is large, and the dose and dosage regimen can be flexibly adjusted during clinical treatment.
5) The size and/or quantity of tablets or capsules required for effective therapeutic dose is minimized, which improves patient compliance, while facilitating production, storage and transportation, and increasing commercial value.
