Abstract

Injectable dosages and formulations of fosnetupitant and pharmaceutically acceptable salts thereof are provided that are efficacious, chemically stable and physiologically balanced for safety and efficacy.

Claims (62)

1. A pharmaceutically stable intravenous liquid formulation of fosnetupitant comprising:

a) from 2.3 to 30 mg/mL of the chloride hydrochloride salt of fosnetupitant; and

b) an alkalizing agent; and

c) an alkaline pH.

2. The pharmaceutically stable intravenous liquid formulation of claim 1 comprising:

a) about 13.0 mg/mL of the chloride hydrochloride salt of fosnetupitant; and

b) sodium hydroxide as the alkalizing agent;

at a pH of from 7.5 to 10.

3. The pharmaceutically stable intravenous liquid formulation of claim 1 comprising sodium hydroxide as the alkalizing agent at a pH of from 7.5 to 10.

4. A pharmaceutically stable intravenous lyophilized formulation of fosnetupitant comprising:

a) from 2.3 to 30 mg/mL of the chloride hydrochloride salt of fosnetupitant; and

b) an alkalizing agent;

at an alkaline pH, based on a suitable reconstitution volume.

5. The pharmaceutically stable intravenous lyophilized formulation of claim 4 comprising:

a) about 13.0 mg/mL of the chloride hydrochloride salt of fosnetupitant; and

b) sodium hydroxide as the alkalizing agent;

at a pH of from 7.5 to 10.

6. The pharmaceutically stable intravenous lyophilized formulation of claim 4 comprising sodium hydroxide as the alkalizing agent at a pH of from 7.5 to 10.

7. The pharmaceutically stable intravenous liquid formulation of claim 1 in the absence of a phosphate.

8. The pharmaceutically stable intravenous lyophilized formulation of claim 4 in the absence of a phosphate.

9. The pharmaceutically stable intravenous liquid formulation of claim 1 further comprising netupitant, wherein the netupitant and fosnetupitant are present at a weight ratio of from 0.01:99.99 to 2:98.

10. The pharmaceutically stable intravenous lyophilized formulation of claim 4 further comprising netupitant, wherein the netupitant and fosnetupitant are present at a weight ratio of from 0.01:99.99 to 2:98.

11. The pharmaceutically stable intravenous liquid formulation of claim 1 , wherein the 2.3 to 30 mg/mL is based on the weight of the fosnetupitant free base.

12. The pharmaceutically stable intravenous liquid formulation of claim 1 , wherein the 2.3 to 30 mg/mL is based on the weight of the fosnetupitant chloride hydrochloride.

13. The intravenous liquid formulation of claim 1 further comprising:

a) sodium hydroxide;

b) disodium edetate; and

c) mannitol.

14. The intravenous lyophilized formulation of claim 4 further comprising:

a) sodium hydroxide;

b) disodium edetate; and

c) mannitol.

15. The liquid intravenous formulation of claim 13 comprising from 0.05 to 2.0 mg/mL disodium edetate and from 10 to 100 mg/mL mannitol; at a pH of 7.5-10.0; and water q.s.

16. The lyophilized powder intravenous formulation of claim 14 comprising from 0.05 to 2.0 mg/mL disodium edetate and from 10 to 100 mg/mL mannitol; at a pH of 7.5-10.0.

17. The lyophilized powder intravenous formulation of claim 16 , comprising from 0.1 to 0.9 mg/mL disodium edetate and from 10 to 100 mg/mL mannitol; further comprising HCl q.s. to pH 7.5-10.0.

18. The lyophilized powder intravenous formulation of claim 16 , comprising:

a) about 13.0 mg/mL of the chloride hydrochloride salt of fosnetupitant;

b) about 0.32 mg/mL disodium edetate; and

c) about 38 mg/mL mannitol;

at a pH 8.5-9.5;

based on a reconstitution in water volume of 20 mL.

19. A method of manufacturing a liquid intravenous or lyophilized intravenous formulation of fosnetupitant comprising:

a) admixing fosnetupitant or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof with sodium hydroxide in water at a basic pH to form a solution;

b) after step (a), reducing the pH of the solution to a basic pH by the addition of one or more acidic pH adjusting agents; and

c) after step (a), admixing the solution with one or more pharmaceutically acceptable excipients.

20. The liquid intravenous formulation of claim 15 , comprising from 0.1 to 0.9 mg/mL disodium edetate; further comprising HCl.

21. The liquid intravenous formulation of claim 15 at a pH of 8.5-9.5, comprising:

a) about 13.0 mg/mL of the chloride hydrochloride salt of fosnetupitant;

b) about 0.32 mg/mL disodium edetate; and

c) about 38 mg/mL mannitol;

further comprising HCl.

22. The lyophilized powder intravenous formulation of claim 14 comprising from 0.1 to 0.9 mg/mL disodium edetate; and from 10 to 100 mg/mL mannitol.

23. The lyophilized powder intravenous formulation of claim 14 comprising:

a) about 13.0 mg/mL of the chloride hydrochloride salt of fosnetupitant;

b) about 0.32 mg/mL disodium edetate; and

c) about 38 mg/mL mannitol;

further comprising HCl.

24. The liquid intravenous formulation of claim 13 at a pH of from 7.5 to 10.0.

25. The lyophilized powder intravenous formulation of claim 14 at a pH of from 7.5 to 10.0 upon reconstitution in water.

26. The lyophilized powder intravenous formulation of claim 22 at a pH of from 7.5 to 10.0 upon reconstitution in water.

27. The lyophilized powder intravenous formulation of claim 23 at a pH of from 7.5 to 10.0 upon reconstitution in water.
