Kinase inhibitor salts and compositions thereof
The present invention relates to cabozantinib lauryl sulfate salt and methods of use.
1. A method for treating thyroid cancer, renal cell carcinoma or hepatocellar carcinoma comprising orally administering to a patient in need of such therapy one or more capsules comprising a therapeutically effective amount of cabozantinib lauryl sulfate salt wherein each capsule comprises 5 mg to 200 mg of cabozantinib free base in the form of cabozantinib lauryl sulfate and wherein each capsule further comprises: (i) about 15 wt % to about 33 wt % of cabozantinib lauryl sulfate salt; (ii) about 19 wt % to about 80 wt % of at least one pharmaceutically acceptable non-ionic surfactant with a hydrophilic-lipophilic balance (HLB) value of 10 or greater selected from a group consisting of vitamin E polyethylene glycol succinate, a poloxamer, a polyethoxylated castor oil, a polyoxyethylene hydrogenated castor oil, a polyoxylglycerides, a polyoxyethylene stearate and combinations of the foregoing and (iii) optionally one or more additional pharmaceutically acceptable excipients selected from the group consisting of a stabilizer, a filler, a viscosity enhancing agent, a binder, a disintegrant, a lubricant, a glidant, a flavoring agent, and combinations thereof; the capsule exhibits a dissolution rate of at least 70% after 60 minutes of testing using a USP Type II Apparatus (Paddle) with a 0.1 N HCl at 75 rpm, with or without a sinker at 37° C. and wherein the patient's cabozantinib AUC 0-∞ or cabozantinib AUC 0-24 does not change by more than 30% when the capsule is administered to the patient in a fed state compared to when the capsule is administered to the patient in a fasted state.
2. The method of claim 1 wherein the capsule further comprises at least one pharmaceutically acceptable excipient with a hydrophilic-lipophilic balance (HLB) value of less than 10.
3. The method of claim 2 wherein the at least one pharmaceutically acceptable excipient with an HLB value of less than 10 is selected from a group consisting of a wetting agent, an emulsifying agent, a solubilizing agent, a surfactant or a combination thereof.
4. The method of claim 2 wherein the at least one pharmaceutically acceptable excipient with an HLB value of less than 10 is selected from the group consisting of medium chain monoglycerides, medium chain diglycerides, polyoxylglycerides, sorbitan esters, sorbitan fatty acid esters, phospholipids and combinations thereof.
5. The method of claim 1 wherein the contents of the capsule further comprises at least one pharmaceutically acceptable excipient selected from the group consisting of a stabilizer, a filler, a viscosity enhancing agent, a binder, a disintegrant, a lubricant, a glidant, a flavoring agent, and combinations thereof.
6. The method of claim 1 wherein the dissolution medium includes 0.5% t-octyl phenoxy polyethoxy ethanol.
7. The method of claim 1 wherein the dissolution medium includes 0.5% t-octyl phenoxy polyethoxy ethanol and the capsule exhibits a dissolution rate of at least 75% after 60 minutes of testing using a USP Type II Apparatus (Paddle) with a 0.1 N HCl media at 75 rpm, with or without a sinker at 37° C.
8. The method of claim 1 wherein the capsule is administered to the patient in a fed state or a fasted state and the administration does not exhibit a food effect.
9. The method of claim 1 wherein the patient's cabozantinib C max does not change by more than 40% when the capsule is administered to the patient in a fed state compared to when the capsule is administered to the patient in a fasted state.
10. The method of claim 1 wherein the patient's cabozantinib AUC 0-∞ or cabozantinib AUC 0-24 does not change by more than 20% when the capsule is administered to the patient in a fed state compared to when the capsule is administered to the patient in a fasted state.
11. The method of claim 1 wherein the capsule exhibits a C max fed /C max fast ratio of about 0.6 to about 2.5 wherein the C max fed is a maximum cabozantinib plasma concentration obtained by administering a single dose of the capsule to one or more human patients or healthy human subjects under a fed state and the C max fast is a maximum cabozantinib plasma concentration obtained by administering a single dose of the capsule to the one or more patients or subjects under a fasted state.
12. The method of claim 1 wherein the capsule exhibits an AUC 0-∞ fed /AUC 0-∞ fast ratio of about 0.8 to about 1.25 wherein the AUC 0-∞ fed is an AUC obtained from the time of administration of a single dose of the capsule to one or more human patients or healthy human subjects under a fed state to infinity and the AUC 0-∞ fast is an AUC obtained from the time of administration of a single dose of the capsule to the one or more patients or subjects under a fasted state to infinity.
13. The method of claim 11 wherein the C max fed /C max fast ratio is a geometric mean ratio.
14. The method of claim 12 wherein the AUC 0-∞ fed /AUC 0-∞ fast ratio is a geometric mean ratio.
15. The method of claim 1 wherein the dissolution medium includes 0.5% t-octyl phenoxy polyethoxy ethanol the capsule exhibits a dissolution rate of at least 80% after 60 minutes of testing using a USP Type II Apparatus (Paddle) with a 0.1 N HCl at 75 rpm, with or without a sinker at 37° C.
16. The method of claim 1 wherein the at least one pharmaceutically acceptable non-ionic surfactant excipient with an HLB value of 10 or greater is a solid with a melting point between 25° C. and 120° C.
17. The method of claim 1 wherein the capsules comprises about 33 wt % to about 80 wt % of the non-ionic surfactant with an HLB value of 10 or greater.
18. The method of claim 1 wherein the capsules comprises about 45 wt % to about 80 wt % of the non-ionic surfactant with an HLB value of 10 or greater.
19. The method of claim 1 wherein the non-ionic surfactant with an HLB value of 10 or greater is a poloxamer, a polyethoxylated castor oil, a polyoxyethylene hydrogenated castor oil, a polyoxyethylene stearate and combinations of the foregoing.
