Description
BACKGROUND

Epidermal Growth Factor Receptor (EGFR) is a member of the erbB receptor family, which includes transmembrane protein tyrosine kinase receptors. When binding to a ligand such as epidermal growth factor (EGF), EGFR is able to form a homodimer on the cell membrane or with other members of the erbB family. The formation of these dimers often causes tyrosine phosphorylation, and can lead to the activation or alteration of various downstream cellular pathways, including cell proliferation, survival, and anti-apoptosis.


Because of this cellular function, disorders in EGFR signaling, including increased expression of EGFR or its ligands and deletions or mutations in the EGFR gene or protein, can activate cell growth or mitigate normal apoptosis mechanisms and pathway, traditional hallmarks of tumor cell growth and proliferation. For example, EFGR mutations or deletions are commonly found in non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) tumors.


The two most frequent EGFR alternations found in NSCLC tumors are 1) short in-frame deletions in exon 19 (del19) and 2) L858R, a single missense mutation in exon 21 (Cancer Discovery 2016 6 (6) 601). These two alterations cause ligand-independent EGFR activation and are referred to as primary or activating mutations in EGFR mutant NSCLC (EGFR M+). Clinical experience shows an objective response rate (ORR) of approximately 60-85% in EGFR M+ NSCLC patients treated first line (1L) with EGFR tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs) erlotinib, gefitinib, afatinib and osimertinib (Lancet Oncol. 2010 Vol. 11, 121; Lancet Oncol. 2016 Vol. 17, 577; N. Engl. J. Med. 2017 November 18 Doi:10.1056/NEJMoa1713137; Lancet Oncol. 2011 Vol. 12, 735). These findings show that EGFR mutant NSCLC tumors are dependent on the oncogenic activity of the mutated EGFR and that del19 and L858R are the oncogenic mutation in this disease, which validates these as drug targets and biomarkers for many forms of NSCLC.


However, after an average of 10-12 months of treatment with first generation (erlotinib and gefitinib) and second generation (afatinib) EGFR TKIs, resistance to these small molecule inhibitors has been observed in almost all NSCLC patients (Lancet Oncol. 2010 February; 11(2):121-8; Lancet Oncol. 2016 May; 17(5):577-89; Lancet Oncol. 2011 August; 12(8):735-42). The most common resistance mechanism is the development of a second EGFR mutation, T790M, which occurs in 50% to 70% of patients progressing on lst and 2nd generation EGFR inhibitors. (Blakely et al., Cancer Discov; 2012, 2(10); 872-5; Kobayashi et al., Cancer Res 2005; 65: (16)). This secondary mutation reduces the affinity of the drug with the target, thereby producing drug resistance, and resulting in tumor recurrence or disease progression.


Due to the prevalence of the T790M mutation, a number of companies have attempted to develop new small molecule EGFR inhibitors for treating patients with the drug-resistant mutant. For example, osimertinib (Tagrisso®), a third generation EGFR TKI, has been developed to treat NSCLC patients if the cancer cells are positive for the primary EGFR mutations del19 or L858R with or without the T790M mutation in the gene coding for EGFR. Although the third generation EGFR TKI, osimertinib, has shown efficacy on NSCLC patients, unfortunately, resistance mediated by an exon 20 C797 mutation (often C797S) in EGFR usually develops within approximately 10 months (European Journal of Medicinal Chemistry 2017 Vol. 142: 32-47) and accounts for the majority of osimertinib resistance cases (Cancer Letters 2016 Vol. 385: 51-54). The EGFR del19/L858R T790M C797S cis mutant kinase variant typically emerges in second line (2L) patients following treatment with osimertinib and is often referred to as “triple mutant” EGFR and it can no longer be inhibited by first, second, or third generation EGFR inhibitors.


No approved EGFR TKI can inhibit the triple mutant variant. Therefore, there is a need to develop new EGFR inhibitors, which can inhibit with high selectivity EGFR mutants with the triple mutant, del19/L858R T790M C797S, while at the same time have no or low activity to wild-type EGFR. In addition to treating a mutant form of EGFR for which there is no current therapy, such selective EGFR inhibitors are likely to be more suitable as therapeutic agents, particularly for the treatment of cancer, due to reduction of toxicologies (diarrhea, skin rash) associated with wild-type EGFR inhibition.


PCT Patent Application No. PCT/US20/66629, the entire teachings of which are incorporated herein by reference, discloses inhibitors of “triple mutant” EGFR, which can be used to treat various cancer, such as NSCLC. The structure of one of the inhibitors disclosed in PCT Patent Application No. PCT/US20/66629, referred to herein as “Compound (I)” is shown below:

Such preparations can be sterilized and, if desired, mixed with auxiliary agents such as lubricants, preservatives, stabilizers, wetting agents, emulsifiers, salts for influencing osmotic pressure, buffers, coloring, and/or aromatic substances and the like that do not deleteriously react with or interfere with the activity of the compounds provided herein. One of ordinary skill in the art will recognize that other pharmaceutical excipients are suitable for use with Salt or Solid Form of the Disclosures or pharmaceutically acceptable salts thereof.


The pharmaceutical compositions of the disclosure optionally include one or more pharmaceutically acceptable carriers and/or diluents therefor, such as lactose, starch, cellulose and dextrose. Other excipients, such as flavoring agents, sweeteners, and preservatives, such as methyl, ethyl, propyl and butyl parabens, can also be included. More complete listings of suitable excipients can be found in the Handbook of Pharmaceutical Excipients (5th Ed., Pharmaceutical Press (2005)). A person skilled in the art would know how to prepare formulations suitable for various types of administration routes. Conventional procedures and ingredients for the selection and preparation of suitable formulations are described, for example, in Remington's Pharmaceutical Sciences (2003—20th edition) and in The United States Pharmacopeia: The National Formulary (USP 24 NF19) published in 1999. The carriers, diluents and/or excipients are “acceptable” in the sense of being compatible with the other ingredients of the pharmaceutical composition and not deleterious to the recipient thereof.


Methods of Treatment

The present disclosure provides a method of inhibiting certain mutant forms of epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) in a subject in need thereof, comprising administering to the subject an effective amount of a Salt or Solid Form of the Disclosure or a pharmaceutical composition disclosed herein. Mutant forms of EGFR include for example, EGFR with LRTMCS mutation (the exon 19 deletion (del19) or exon 21 (L858R) substitution mutation, T790M mutation, and C797S mutation). Subjects “in need of inhibiting EGFR” are those having a disease for which a beneficial therapeutic effect can be achieved by inhibiting at least one mutant EGFR, e.g., a slowing in disease progression, alleviation of one or more symptoms associated with the disease or increasing the longevity of the subject in view of the disease.


In some embodiments, the disclosure provides a method of treating a disease/condition/or cancer associated with or modulated by mutant EGFR, wherein the inhibition of the mutant EGFR is of therapeutic benefit, including but not limited to the treatment of cancer in a subject in need thereof. The method comprises administering to the subject an effective amount of a Salt or Solid Form of the Disclosure or pharmaceutical composition disclosed herein.


In another embodiment, the disclosure provides a method of treating a subject with cancer, comprising administering to the subject an effective amount of a Salt or Solid Form of the Disclosure or a pharmaceutical composition disclosed herein. Cancers to be treated according to the disclosed methods include lung cancer, colon cancer, urothelial cancer, breast cancer, prostate cancer, brain cancers, ovarian cancer, gastric cancer, pancreatic cancer, head and neck cancer, bladder cancer, and mesothelioma, including metastasis (in particular brain metastasis) of all cancers listed. Typically, the cancer is characterized by at one or more EGFR mutations described herein. In a specific embodiment, the cancer has progressed on or after EGFR tyrosine kinase inhibitor (TKI) Therapy. In a specific embodiment, the disease has progressed on or after first line osimertinib.


In a specific embodiment, the cancer to be treated is lung cancer. In a more specific embodiment, the cancer is non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). In some embodiments, the lung cancer is locally advanced or metastatic NSCLC, NSCLC adenocarcinoma, NSCLC with squamous histology and NSCLC with non-squamous histology. In another embodiment, the lung cancer is NSCLC adenocarcinoma. In another specific embodiment, the lung cancer (or non-small cell lung cancer) has metastasized to the brain.

To detect one or more EGFR deletions and/or mutations, a primary tumor sample, circulating tumor DNA (ctDNA), circulating tumor cells (CTC), and/or circulating exosomes may be collected from a subject. The samples are processed, the nucleic acids are isolated using techniques known in the art, then the nucleic acids are sequenced using methods known in the art. Sequences are then mapped to individual exons, and measures of transcriptional expression (such as RPKM, or reads per kilobase per million reads mapped), are quantified. Raw sequences and exon array data are available from sources such as TCGA, ICGC, and the NCBI Gene Expression Omnibus (GEO). For a given sample, individual exon coordinates are annotated with gene identifier information, and exons belonging to kinase domains are flagged. The exon levels are then z-score normalized across all tumors samples.


The Salts and Solid Forms of the Disclosure, or pharmaceutical compositions disclosed herein, may be used for treating to a subject who has become refractory to treatment with one or more other EGFR inhibitors. “Refractory” means that the subject's cancer previously responded to drugs but later responds poorly or not at all. In some embodiments, the subject has become refractory to one or more first generation EGFR inhibitors such as erlotinib, gefitinib, icotinib or lapatinib. In some embodiments, the subject has been become refractory to treatment with one or more second generation EGFR inhibitors such as afatinib, dacomitinib, poziotinib, or neratinib. In some embodiments the subject has become refractory to treatment with one or more first generation inhibitors and one or more second generation inhibitors.

Typically, the cancer is characterized by one of the EGFR genotypes described herein.


Alternatively, a Salt or Solid Form of the Disclosure, or a pharmaceutical composition disclosed herein, can be administered in combination with other anti-cancer agents that are not EGFR inhibitors e.g., in combination with MEK, including mutant MEK inhibitors (trametinib, cobimtetinib, binimetinib, selumetinib, refametinib); c-MET, including mutant c-Met inhibitors (savolitinib, cabozantinib, foretinib, glumetinib, tepotinib) and MET antibodies (emibetuzumab, telisotuzumab vedotin (ABBV 339)); mitotic kinase inhibitors (CDK4/6 inhibitors such as palbociclib, ribociclib, abemacicilb, GIT38); anti-angiogenic agents e.g., bevacizumab, nintedanib; apoptosis inducers such as Bcl-2 inhibitors e.g, venetoclax, obatoclax, navitoclax, palcitoclax (APG-1252), and Mcl-1 inhibitors e.g., AZD-5991, AMG-176, S-64315; mTOR inhibitors e.g, rapamycin, temsirolimus, everolimus, ridoforolimus; RET inhibitors, like pralsetinib and selpercatinib, and PI3K inhibitors dactolisib (BEZ235), pictilisib (GDC-0941), LY294002, idelalisib (CAL-101); JAK inhibitors (e.g., AZD4205, itacitinib), Aurora A inhibitors (e.g., alisertib); BCR/ABL and/or Src family tyrosine kinase inhibitors (e.g., dasatinib); VEGF inhibitors (e.g., MP0250; ramucirumab); multi-kinase protein inhibitors (e.g., anlotinib, midostaurin); PARP inhibitors (e.g., niraparib); platinum therapies (e.g., cisplatin (CDDP), carboplatin (CBDCA), or nedaplatin (CDGP)); PD-L1 inhibitors (e.g., durvalumab (MEDI 4736)); HER2/neu receptor inhibitors (e.g., trastuzumab); anti-HER2 or anti-HER3 antibody-drug conjugates (e.g., patritumab deruxtecan (U3-1402), trastuzumab emtansine); or immunogene therapy (e.g., oncoprex).


A “subject” is a human in need of treatment.


Methods of Administration and Dosage Forms

The precise amount of the Salt or Solid Form of the Disclosure, or a pharmaceutical composition disclosed herein, administered to provide an “effective amount” to the subject will depend on the mode of administration, the type, and severity of the cancer, and on the characteristics of the subject, such as general health, age, sex, body weight, and tolerance to drugs. The skilled artisan will be able to determine appropriate dosages depending on these and other factors. When administered in combination with other therapeutic agents, e.g., when administered in combination with an anti-cancer agent, an “effective amount” of any additional therapeutic agent(s) will depend on the type of drug used. Suitable dosages are known for approved therapeutic agents and can be adjusted by the skilled artisan according to the condition of the subject, the type of condition(s) being treated and the amount of a Salt or Solid Form of the Disclosure being used by following, for example, dosages reported in the literature and recommended in the Physician's Desk Reference (57th Ed., 2003).


“Treating” or “treatment” refers to obtaining a desired pharmacological and/or physiological effect. The effect can be therapeutic, which includes achieving, partially or substantially, one or more of the following results: partially or substantially reducing the extent of the disease, condition or cancer; ameliorating or improving a clinical symptom or indicator associated with the disease, condition or cancer; delaying, inhibiting or decreasing the likelihood of the progression of the disease, condition or cancer; or decreasing the likelihood of recurrence of the disease, condition or cancer.


The term “effective amount” means an amount when administered to the subject which results in beneficial or desired results, including clinical results, e.g., inhibits, suppresses or reduces the symptoms of the condition being treated in the subject as compared to a control. For example, a therapeutically effective amount can be given in unit dosage form (e.g., 0.1 mg to about 50 g per day, alternatively from 1 mg to about 5 grams per day; and in another alternatively from 10 mg to 1 gram per day).


The terms “administer”, “administering”, “administration”, and the like, as used herein, refer to methods that may be used to enable delivery of compositions to the desired site of biological action. These methods include, but are not limited to, intraarticular (in the joints), intravenous, intramuscular, intratumoral, intradermal, intraperitoneal, subcutaneous, orally, topically, intrathecally, inhalationally, transdermally, rectally, and the like. Administration techniques that can be employed with the agents and methods described herein are found in e.g., Goodman and Gilman, The Pharmacological Basis of Therapeutics, current ed.; Pergamon; and Remington's, Pharmaceutical Sciences (current edition), Mack Publishing Co., Easton, Pa.


In addition, a Salt or Solid Form of the Disclosure, or a pharmaceutical composition disclosed herein, can be co-administered with other therapeutic agents. As used herein, the terms “co-administration”, “administered in combination with”, and their grammatical equivalents, are meant to encompass administration of two or more therapeutic agents to a single subject, and are intended to include treatment regimens in which the agents are administered by the same or different route of administration or at the same or different times. In some embodiments the Salt or Solid Form of the Disclosure, or a pharmaceutical composition disclosed herein, will be co-administered with other agents. These terms encompass administration of two or more agents to the subject so that both agents and/or their metabolites are present in the subject at the same time. They include simultaneous administration in separate compositions, administration at different times in separate compositions, and/or administration in a composition in which both agents are present. Thus, in some embodiments, the Salt or Solid Form of the Disclosure, or a pharmaceutical composition disclosed herein, and the other agent(s) are administered in a single composition. In some embodiments, the compounds described herein and the other agent(s) are admixed in the composition.


The particular mode of administration and the dosage regimen will be selected by the attending clinician, taking into account the particulars of the case (e.g. the subject, the disease, the disease state involved, the particular treatment). Treatment can involve daily or multi-daily or less than daily (such as weekly or monthly etc.) doses over a period of a few days to months, or even years. However, a person of ordinary skill in the art would immediately recognize appropriate and/or equivalent doses looking at dosages of approved compositions for treating a disease using the disclosed EGFR inhibitors for guidance.


The Salt or Solid Form of the Disclosure, or a pharmaceutical composition disclosed herein, can be administered to a patient in a variety of forms depending on the selected route of administration, as will be understood by those skilled in the art. The Salt or Solid Form of the Disclosure, or a pharmaceutical composition disclosed herein, may be administered, for example, by oral, parenteral, buccal, sublingual, nasal, rectal, patch, pump or transdermal administration and the pharmaceutical compositions formulated accordingly. Parenteral administration includes intravenous, intraperitoneal, subcutaneous, intramuscular, transepithelial, nasal, intrapulmonary, intrathecal, rectal and topical modes of administration. Parenteral administration can be by continuous infusion over a selected period of time.


The pharmaceutical composition of the disclosure is formulated to be compatible with its intended route of administration. In an embodiment, the composition is formulated in accordance with routine procedures as a pharmaceutical composition adapted for intravenous, subcutaneous, intramuscular, oral, intranasal, or topical administration to human beings. In preferred embodiments, the pharmaceutical composition is formulated for intravenous administration.


Typically, for oral therapeutic administration, a Salt or Solid Form of the Disclosure may be incorporated with excipient and used in the form of ingestible tablets, buccal tablets, troches, capsules, elixirs, suspensions, syrups, wafers, and the like.


Typically for parenteral administration, solutions of a Salt or Solid Form of the Disclosure be prepared in water suitably mixed with a surfactant such as hydroxypropylcellulose. Dispersions can also be prepared in glycerol, liquid polyethylene glycols, DMSO and mixtures thereof with or without alcohol, and in oils. Under ordinary conditions of storage and use, these preparations contain a preservative to prevent the growth of microorganisms.


Typically, for injectable use, sterile aqueous solutions or dispersion of, and sterile powders of, a Salt or Solid Form of the Disclosure for the extemporaneous preparation of sterile injectable solutions or dispersions are appropriate.


The following examples are intended to be illustrative and are not intended to be limiting in any way to the scope of the disclosure.

Example 1: Preparations and Characterization of Crystalline Form of 1:0.5 Compound (I) Semi-Succinate Form C
1.1 Preparation

Compound (I) in freebase (301 mg) was weighed in a 20 mL vial, to which 1.3 eq of succinic acid (83.4 mg) and a stir bar were added. 15 volumes of EtOAc (4.51 mL) were added at 45° C. and left to stir for one hour. Solids were bright yellow and were filtered and washed with 2×2 vol. of EtOAc. Solids were dried in a vacuum oven at 50° C. overnight. The XRPD pattern indicated excess succinic acid was present. Solids were then re-slurried in 5 vol.


(1.36 mL) of IPA for 1 hour and were then filtered and washed with 2×2 vol of IPA. Solids were dried in a vacuum oven at 50° C. overnight. Purity by HPLC was 99.50 area %. The solid obtained was further characterized by XRPD using the Regular Scan Method (see FIG. 1 and Table 1), TGA-DSC (FIGS. 2 and 3), and DVS. It was determined that the counter-ion stoichiometry (API:CI) is 1:0.5.


The combined DSC and TGA thermogram showed a total mass loss of 0.85 wt. % and an endotherm onset at 176.3° C. (FIG. 2). The DSC alone showed an endotherm onset at 175.1° C. (FIG. 3).

1.2 DVS of Crystalline Form of 1:0.5 Compound (I) Semi-Succinate

DVS was completed and showed a mass change of 7.1 wt. % between 2 and 95% relative humidity at 25° C. After the standard 60 minutes at 95% RH, the compound had not reached equilibrium and thus this interval was held for a total of 240 minutes. After this time the compound still had not reached equilibrium, and experiment was continued as described in the DVS analysis conditions above.


Example 2: Preparations and Characterization of Crystalline Form of 1:0.5 Compound (I) Semi-Glutarate Form D

Compound (I) in freebase (401 mg) was weighed in a 20 mL vial, to which 1.1 eq of glutaric acid (104.6 mg) and a stir bar were added. 15 volumes of EtOAc were added at 45° C. After one hour, the temperature was decreased to RT, and the thin yellow slurry was left to stir overnight. The following morning, the slurry was noticeably thicker and a more vibrant yellow in color. The slurry was filtered, washed with 2×2 volumes of EtOAc, and dried under active vacuum (−30 in Hg) for 5 h at 50° C. Purity by HPLC was 99.45 area % and stoichiometry was calculated to be 1:0.53 Compound (I) Semi-Glutarate based on 1H NMR. The solid obtained was further characterized by XRPD using the Regular Scan Method (see FIG. 4 and Table 2) and TGA-DSC (FIGS. 5 and 6).


The combined DSC and TGA thermogram showed essentially no mass loss and an endotherm onset at 142.5° C. (FIG. 5). The DSC alone showed a n endothermic event with an onset of 142.3° C., and a small endotherm (−0.59 J/g) with an onset of 188.4° C. (FIG. 6).

Example 3: Preparations and Characterization of Crystalline Form of 1:1 Compound (I) Fumarate Form E

Compound (I) in freebase (409.5 mg) was weighed in a 20 mL vial, to which 1.1 eq of fumaric acid (96.6 mg) and a stir bar were added. 15 volumes of EtOAc were added at 45° C. After one hour, the temperature was decreased to RT, and the slurry remained pastel-yellow and thin after stirring overnight. TFE was added (100 μL) to aid in the dissolution of the solids at 45° C. The solvent was evaporated with stirring at 45° C. and 5 mL of TFE was added to achieve full dissolution of the solids. The solvent was once again evaporated with active stirring overnight, and the vial was placed under active vacuum at 50° C. for 3 h. Once dry, 15 vol. of EtOAc was added to the solids at 45° C. The bright-yellow slurry was stirred at 45° C. for one hour, then at RT. The slurry was filtered, washed with 2×2 volumes of EtOAc, and dried under active vacuum (−30 in Hg) for 5 h at 50° C. Purity by HPLC was 99.31 area % and the stoichiometry was calculated to be 1:0.95 Compound (I) Fumarate based on 1H NMR. The solid obtained was further characterized by XRPD using the Regular Scan Method (see FIG. 7 and Table 3) and TGA-DSC (FIGS. 8 and 9).


The combined DSC and TGA thermogram showed a total mass loss of 0.3 wt. % and an endotherm onset at 162.2° C. (FIG. 8). The DSC alone showed an endotherm onset at 164.8° C. (FIG. 9).

Method C: Reverse Addition Antisolvent Crystallization

Approximately 25-35 mg of the amorphous Compound (I) was dissolved in the solvent mostly at RT. Twice the amount of antisolvent was taken in a separate vial, to which the solution was added as one transfer with rapid stirring. For example, if solids dissolved in 0.5 mL of solvent, then the solution was added to 1.0 mL of antisolvent as one transfer with vigorous stirring. Once solids were formed, the slurries were filtered, and the recovered solids were analyzed by XRPD. The results of antisolvent crystallizations in reverse additions are shown in Table 6.


Only in MEK/n-heptane, a medium-thin slurry formed in 15 min after the solution was added to the antisolvent by vigorous stirring. The slurry was filtered and the solid recovered was analyzed by XRPD. A hazy solution formed in tetrahydrofuran (THF)/EtOH 2 h after adding solution to the antisolvent with continued stirring (˜600 rpm). The hazy solution turned to a thin slurry, which was filtered under reduced pressure and the solid was analyzed by XRPD. Also, hazy solutions formed in THF/isopropyl acetate (IPAc) and THF/toluene, 3 h after adding solution to antisolvent with continued stirring at RT. For other solvents, the clear solutions were transferred to a chiller block at −5° C. with continued stirring for one week. The clear solutions remained clear, and the vials were transferred to the freezer at −20° C. A small amount of crystalline solids or precipitate were observed.

Method D: Direct Addition Antisolvent Crystallization

Approximately 22-35 mg of the amorphous Compound (I) was taken in either 2 mL or 4 mL vials, depending upon the solvent required to dissolve the solid. The solvent was added to the solids and the thin/medium slurries were stirred at 30° C. with stir bars (5 mm for 2 mL vials and 10 mm thin bars for 4 mL vials) for up to 1 h to obtain a clear solution. Twice the volume of solvent was used as antisolvent. For example, if solids dissolved in 0.5 mL solvent, then 1.0 mL of the antisolvent was used for the direct addition. The antisolvent was added in four equal portions dropwise to the vigorously stirring solution over an hour.


In the cases of MEK, 1,4-dioxane, and THF, thin slurries formed on adding the solvent to the solids, which remained even after stirring for 1 h at 30° C. However, the thin slurries were dissolved into clear solution by heating the vials at 40° C. for less than 5 min. The vials were then transferred to RT and the antisolvent was added. In the case of 2-methyltetrahydrofuran (2-MeTHF): dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) (9:1 vol.), the solids dissolved in 7 vol of the solvent. Thehazy solutions/very thin slurries were continuously stirred at RT for 2 days and medium to thick slurries were observed in most of the cases. The summary of the experiments is given Table 7.

Method E: Fast Cooling Crystallizations

Approximately 25-35 mg of the amorphous Compound (I) was weighed into 2 mL vial. The solvents and 5 mm stir bars were added to vial and stirred at 50° C. at a stirring rate of 450 rpm. The thin slurry/hazy solutions were heated to 60° C. to obtain clear solutions if required. The clear solutions were transferred to an ice-water bath near 0° C. without mixing. Care was taken to ensure no visible crust was present prior to cooling of the samples. In general, no slurries or solids were observed in fast-cooling crystallization upon transferring solutions to the ice-water bath. However, in some cases hazy solutions were observed after allowing the solutions to stir at RT on stir plate inside the ice-water bath for up to 1 h and solids obtained after being transferred to the freezer at −20° C. The summary of the fast-cooling crystallization is given in Table 8.

Method F: Slow Cooling Crystallizations

Approximately 25-35 mg of the amorphous Compound (I) was weighed into 2 mL vials. The solvents and 5 mm stir bars were added to vial and stirred at 50° C. at a stirring rate of 450 rpm. In all the cases, thin slurries were formed at −50° C. due to the concentration of the solids in the solvents. Hence, the vials were heated up to 67° C. to obtain clear solutions. Care was taken to ensure no visible crust was present prior to cooling of the samples. The clear solutions at 67 RC were then cooled to RT with the cooling rate of 5° C./h. This was achieved by reducing the temperature of hotplate by 2.5° C. every 30 min. The summary of the slow-cooling crystallization is given in Table 9.

The thin slurry/hazy solutions were heated to 60° C. to obtain clear solutions, if required. The clear solutions were transferred to a freezer at −20° C. and crystallization process was observed periodically. Care was taken to ensure no visible crust was present prior to cooling of the samples. The summary of the experiments is given in Table 10.

Method H: Slow Evaporation Crystallizations

Approximately 25-35 mg of the amorphous Compound (I) was weighed in 2 mL or 4 mL vials depending on the amount of solvent required to completely dissolve the solids into clear solutions. The solvents were added to the vials by mixing with 5 mm (for 2 mL vials) or 10 mm (for 4 mL vials) stir bars on the stir plate at RT at a stirring rate of 300 rpm. Once the solids were dissolved completely into clear solutions, the vials were capped or sealed, and the caps were pinned with high gauge syringe needles to allow solvents to slowly evaporate from the vials. The solutions continued to stir during the slow evaporation. The summary of the experiments is given in Table 11.

Example 6: Preparations and Characterization of Amorphous Compound (I)

Approximately 263 mg of the Compound (I) was weighed into a 20 mL scintillation vial and 10 mm stir bar was added. To the vial was added 8 mL of ACN:water (8:2 vol.) by mixing at RT and a medium-thin slurry was formed. The slurry was stirred at −55° C. for 10 min and it turned to a thin slurry. Additional solvent (2 mL) was added and the thin slurry continued to stir for another 10 min at −55° C. A very thin slurry remaining after 10 min was syringe filtered using 45 m filter into another clean 20 mL scintillation vial. The clear yellow solution was freeze-dried by placing the vial in liquid nitrogen for 2-3 min. The vial with fully frozen solid was lyophilized overnight. The solid recovered after overnight lyophilization was fluffy and amorphous in nature. The solid obtained was further characterized by XRPD using the Regular Scan Method (see FIG. 15) and TGA-DSC (FIGS. 16 and 17).
