2. A pharmaceutical composition comprising the salt according to claim 1 , and a pharmaceutically acceptable carrier.
3. A process of preparing 4-[3-(cyanomethyl)-3-(3′,5′-dimethyl-1H,1′H—4,4′-bipyrazol-1-yl)azetidin-1-yl]-2,5-difluoro-N—[(1S)-2,2,2-trifluoro-1-methylethyl]benzamide phosphoric acid salt, comprising:
(a) dissolving the 4-[3-(cyanomethyl)-3-(3′,5′-dimethyl-1H,1′H—4,4′-bipyrazol-1-yl)azetidin-1-yl]-2,5-difluoro-N-[(1S)-2,2,2-trifluoro-1-methylethyl]benzamide phosphoric acid salt in methanol at a temperature from about 40° C. to about 70° C. to form a first mixture;
(b) adding n-heptane to the first mixture at a temperature from about 40° C. to about 70° C. to form a second mixture; and
