1 . A pharmaceutical composition comprising a stabilized pharmaceutically acceptable salt of apilimod and one or more pharmaceutically acceptable excipients.
2 . The pharmaceutical composition of claim 1 , wherein the apilimod is stabilized against the formation of one or more degradation products when stored under conditions of 25° C. and 60% relative humidity (RH) for at least 3 months, preferably at least 6 months.
3 . The pharmaceutical composition of claim 2 , wherein the one or more degradation products is selected from one or both of 2-vinyl-pyridine and STA-6066.
4 . The pharmaceutical composition of claim 1 , wherein the salt is selected from the group consisting of hydrochloride, phosphate, lactate, L-tartrate, fumarate, maleate, malonate, and glycolate.
5 . The pharmaceutical composition of claim 1 , wherein the salt is a hydrochloride, malonate, or L-tartrate salt.
6 . The pharmaceutical composition of claim 1 , wherein the composition is formulated as a solid oral dosage form.
7 . The pharmaceutical composition of claim 6 , wherein the solid oral dosage form is a hard or soft gelatin capsule, a tablet, an orally dissolving tablet, or a sublingual dosage form.
8 . The pharmaceutical composition of claim 6 , wherein the solid oral dosage form is an orally disintegrating tablet.
9 . The pharmaceutical composition of claim 6 , wherein the solid oral dosage form is fast-dissolving under acidic conditions, optionally wherein the acidic condition has a pH of 1-2.
10 . The pharmaceutical composition of claim 7 , wherein the one or more pharmaceutically acceptable excipients is selected from one or more diluents, lubricants, glidants, wetting agents, disintegrants, and stabilizers.
11 . The pharmaceutical composition of claim 10 , wherein the diluent is selected from one or more of mannitol, lactose, corn starch, and microcrystalline cellulose.
12 . The pharmaceutical composition of claim 11 , further comprising a glidant, a lubricant, or both.
13 . The pharmaceutical composition of claim 12 , wherein the glidant is colloidal anhydrous silica and the lubricant is magnesium stearate.
14 . The pharmaceutical composition of claim 10 , further comprising a superdisintegrant.
15 . The pharmaceutical composition of claim 14 , wherein the superdisintegrant is selected from the group consisting of sodium starch glycolate, croscarmellose, and crospovidone.
16 . A solid oral dosage form of apilimod comprising an apilimod salt and one or more pharmaceutically acceptable excipients, wherein the apilimod salt is a hydrochloride, malonate, or L-tartrate salt of apilimod.
