AMORPHOUS SOLID DISPERSIONS OF DASATINIB AND USES THEREOF
Amorphous solid dispersions and pharmaceutical compositions of the protein kinase inhibitor dasatinib. The pharmaceutical compositions may be used in methods of treating a proliferative disorder such as cancer, or in methods of delivering dasatinib to patients without regard to whether the patient is concurrently administered a gastric acid-reducing agent, or without regard to whether the patient has an elevated gastric pH. The compositions may be particularly suitable for patients afflicted by achlorhydria or hypochlorhydria, or Helicobacter pylori infection.

44 . A method of treating a proliferative disorder in a patient in need thereof, the method comprising administering to the patient a pharmaceutical composition comprising an amorphous solid dispersion;
wherein the amorphous solid dispersion consists essentially of dasatinib, a polymer or copolymer of N-vinylpyrrolidone, and optionally one or more functional components selected from the group consisting of antioxidants, wetting agents, and solubilizers;
wherein the dasatinib and the one or more polymers are present in the amorphous solid dispersion in a w/w ratio of 30:70 to 95:5 (dasatinib:polymer); and
wherein the patient has elevated gastric pH.
