Summary for Patent: 12,042,504
Title:Injectable fosaprepitant composition
Abstract:The present application and its embodiments teach stable compositions of fosaprepitant or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof with such compositions lacking polysorbate 80 and containing dual functional excipients of hydrolysis inhibition and solubility enhancement. Further described are methods of preparation of such compositions. Among other advantages of contemplated compositions, fosaprepitant hydrolysis degradation is kept low and the compositions maintain physically and chemically stable for prolonged period.
Inventor(s):Jianwei Yu, Yulu Wang
Assignee: Spes Pharmaceuticals Inc
Application Number:US17/379,999
Patent Claims: 1. A method for preventing or treating a subject at risk of or suffering from nausea and vomiting, the method comprising the step of: administering to the subject a composition comprising a physicochemically stable injectable aqueous solution, wherein the physicochemically stable injectable aqueous solution comprises: fosaprepitant or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof; at least one pharmaceutically acceptable derivative of β-cyclodextrin; a pharmaceutically acceptable carrier; a pH adjusting agent; wherein the composition does not contain polysorbate 80; wherein a weight ratio of the fosaprepitant or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof to the at least one pharmaceutically acceptable derivative of β-cyclodextrin is about 1:13 to about 1:255; and wherein a stability of the stable, liquid composition is maintained for at least three months at 25° C. wherein a pH of the physicochemically stable injectable aqueous solution is adjusted to about 9 to about 11.

2. The method of claim 1 wherein the physicochemically stable injectable aqueous solution further comprising at least one pharmaceutical additive.

3. The method of claim 1 wherein the fosaprepitant is fosaprepitant dimeglumine.

4. The method of claim 3 wherein the fosaprepitant dimeglumine is present in an amount of about 1.6 mg/mL to about 9.8 mg/mL.

5. The method of claim 1 wherein at least one pharmaceutically acceptable derivative of β-cyclodextrin is a sulfobutyl ether β-cyclodextrin sodium salt.

6. The method of claim 1 wherein the physicochemically stable injectable aqueous solution is physically and chemically stable for at least three months at 25° C.

7. The method of claim 6 wherein after three months maintains physically stable and precipitate-free when the total degradation products of the physicochemically stable injectable aqueous solution are about 1.0% (w/w).

8. The method of claim 7 wherein the total degradation products comprise mainly aprepitant.

9. A stable anti-emetic composition suitable for parenteral injection, the composition comprises: fosaprepitant or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof; at least one pharmaceutically acceptable derivative of β-cyclodextrin; a pharmaceutically acceptable carrier; and a pH adjusting agent, wherein a pH of the composition is adjusted to about 9 to about 12; wherein a weight ratio of the fosaprepitant or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof to the at least one pharmaceutically acceptable derivative of β-cyclodextrin is about 1:20 to about 1:85.

10. The composition of claim 9 wherein the pH is adjusted to about 9 to about 11.

11. The composition of claim 9 wherein after three months at 25° C. the stable anti-emetic composition maintains physical stability when the stable anti-emetic composition contains about 1.0% (w/w) of aprepitant.

12. The composition of claim 9 further comprising at least one chelating agent.

13. The composition of claim 12 wherein the at least one chelating agent is aminopolycarboxylic acid or salt thereof.

14. The method of claim 1, wherein the composition further comprises edetate disodium.
