Summary for Patent: 12,544,376
Title:Amorphous solid dispersions of dasatinib and uses thereof
Abstract: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.
Inventor(s):Christian F. Wertz, Tzehaw Chen
Assignee: Handa Therapeutics LLC
Application Number:US17/737,375
Patent Claims: 1. A treatment regimen for treating a proliferative disorder in a patient in need thereof, the regimen comprising: (a) administering to the patient a first dose, the first dose comprising a standard dosage of a proton pump inhibitor or an H2 antagonist to elevate the patient's gastric pH to greater than 4; and (b) orally administering a second dose to the patient, the second dose comprising a therapeutically effective amount of a pharmaceutical composition comprising an amorphous solid dispersion; wherein the amorphous solid dispersion comprises dasatinib and a methacrylic acid and alkyl acrylate copolymer that is insoluble in an aqueous medium at pH of 5 or lower, and soluble in an aqueous medium at pH 5.5 or greater; wherein the dasatinib and the copolymer are present in the amorphous solid dispersion in a w/w ratio of 30:70 to 95:5 (dasatinib:copolymer); and wherein the therapeutically effective amount comprises 20 mg to 140 mg dasatinib and the second dose is administered when the patient's gastric pH is greater than 4 without a detrimental reduction in the patient's exposure to dasatinib.

2. The treatment regimen of claim 1, wherein the first dose comprises a standard dosage of a proton pump inhibitor.

3. The treatment regimen of claim 1, wherein the first dose comprises a standard dosage of a proton pump inhibitor selected from rabeprazole, esomeprazole, lansoprazole, omeprazole, pantoprazole, dexlansoprazole, or a combination thereof.

4. The treatment regimen of claim 1, wherein the first dose comprises a standard dosage of an H2 antagonist.

5. The treatment regimen of claim 1, wherein the first dose comprises a standard dosage of an H2 antagonist selected from famotidine, cimetidine, nizatidine, ranitidine, or a combination thereof.

6. The treatment regimen of claim 1, wherein the second dose is administered within 8 hours after the first dose.

7. The treatment regimen of claim 1, wherein the second dose is administered within 6 hours after the first dose.

8. The treatment regimen of claim 1, wherein the second dose is administered within 4 hours after the first dose.

9. The treatment regimen of claim 1, wherein the dasatinib and the copolymer are present in the amorphous solid dispersion in a w/w ratio of 40:60 to 70:30 (dasatinib:copolymer).

10. The treatment regimen of claim 1, wherein the pharmaceutical composition is a solid dosage form suitable for oral administration.

11. The treatment regimen of claim 1, wherein the pharmaceutical composition is a gastric acid-insensitive composition.

12. The treatment regimen of claim 1 wherein the patient's AUC0-24 or AUC0-inf is within 50% of the patient's AUC0-24 or AUC0-inf if the patient had not received the first dose.

13. The treatment regimen of claim 1 wherein the patient's AUC0-24 or AUC0-inf is within 40% of the patient's AUC0-24 or AUC0-inf if the patient had not received the first dose.

14. The treatment regimen of claim 1 wherein the patient's AUC0-24 or AUC0-inf is within 30% of the patient's AUC0-24 or AUC0-inf if the patient had not received the first dose.

15. The treatment regimen of claim 1 wherein the patient's Cmax is within 50% of the patient's Cmax if the patient had not received the first dose.

16. The treatment regimen of claim 1 wherein the patient's Cmax is within 40% of the patient's Cmax if the patient had not received the first dose.

17. The treatment regimen of claim 1 wherein the patient's Cmax is within 30% of the patient's Cmax if the patient had not received the first dose.

18. The treatment regimen of claim 1 wherein the patient's AUC0-24 and Cmax is within 30% of the patient's AUC0-24 and Cmax if the patient had not received the first dose.

19. The treatment regimen of claim 1 wherein the copolymer is a methacrylic acid and ethyl acrylate copolymer.
