Description
FIELD OF THE INVENTION

The invention is directed to room temperature stable injectable formulations of carfilzomib or its pharmaceutically acceptable derivatives thereof in the form of ready to dilute solution and concentrates. Further the invention is directed to a method for treating patients with relapsed or refractory multiple myeloma which includes method of administering reconstituted ready to dilute solution comprising mixing of component 1 and component 2 to form reconstituted ready to dilute solution wherein the component 1 is stored at room temperature for at least one month.


BACKGROUND

Carfilzomib is a selective proteasome inhibitor indicated for the treatment of multiple myeloma.


Carfilzomib is a tetrapeptide epoxyketone proteasome inhibitor that irreversibly binds to the N-terminal threonine-containing active sites of the 20S proteasome, the proteolytic core particle within the 26S proteasome.


Carfilzomib is commercially marketed under the name Kyprolis®. in single dose vials containing 10 mg, 30 mg and 60 mg of the active ingredient. Each vial, in addition to lyophilized carfilzomib, also contains sulfobutylether beta-cyclodextrin, citric acid and sodium hydroxide for pH adjustment.


The problems associated with the commercially available formulation is that the reconstitution of the lyophilized product is complex and cumbersome. Since process of reconstitution is complex which comprises aseptically reconstituting each vial by slowly injecting sterile water for injection through the stopper, directing the water onto the inside wall of the vial in order to ensure less foam formation. If foaming occurs, one has to wait till the foam is settled down and subsides till the solution becomes clear. Also, in reconstitution products it is of great importance to visually inspect the solution before administration and a reconstituted solution that appears to have any discoloration or particulate matter must be discarded. Also, it is known that if there is excess foam then it may lead to loss in potency.


There have been efforts to obtain improved carfilzomib compositions. For instance, substituted cyclodextrin additives have been explored to enhance the solubility of carfilzomib.


As carfilzomib is sensitive to degradation, the development of cost-effective room temperature stable carfilzomib injection is very challenging. There remains a need for improved formulations of carfilzomib having improved ease of manufacture, means of administration, and stability over time, especially when stored under room temperature.
