Abstract

Described herein is certain crystalline forms of Compound 3, as well as pharmaceutical compositions employing the crystalline forms. Also provided are particles (e.g., nanoparticles) comprising such crystalline forms or pharmaceutical compositions. In certain examples, the particles are mucus penetrating particles (MPPs). The present invention further relates to methods of treating or preventing diseases using crystalline forms or pharmaceutical compositions.

4. The crystalline Form A of claim 1 , wherein said crystalline form has an XRPD pattern with peaks at about 6.11, 9.63, 11.10, 11.46, 12.26, 15.66, 16.41, 17.54, 18.16, 18.60, 19.51, 20.36, 21.12, 22.31, 23.01, 24.79, 25.71 and 28.90±0.3 degrees two theta or 14.45, 9.17, 7.96, 7.71, 7.22, 5.65, 5.40, 5.05, 4.88, 4.77, 4.55, 4.36, 4.20, 3.98, 3.86, 3.59, 3.46 and 3.09±0.3 Å in d-spacing.

5. The crystalline form A of claim 1 having the X-ray powder diffraction pattern as shown in FIG. 1 .

6. A process for preparing crystalline Form A of claim 1 , wherein said process comprising wet-milling a slurry comprising an amorphous form of 7-(3-(4-(4-fluoro-2-methyl-1H-indol-5-yloxy)-6-methoxyquinazolin-7-yloxy)propyl)-2-oxa-7-azaspiro[3.5]nonane and a non-ionic surfactant to obtain nanoparticles of crystalline Form A of the compound.

7. The process of claim 6 , wherein said XRPD pattern further has peaks at about 11.46, 12.26, 18.16, 19.51, 21.12 and 25.71±0.3 degrees two theta or 7.71, 7.22, 4.88, 4.55, 4.20 and 3.46±0.3 Å in d-spacing.

8. The process of claim 6 , wherein said XRPD pattern further has peaks at about 11.10, 15.66, 17.54, 22.31, 24.79 and 28.90±0.3 degrees two theta or 7.96, 5.65, 5.05, 3.98, 3.59 and 3.09±0.3 Å in d-spacing.
