Description
- This application claims the benefit of U.S. Provisional Application Ser. No. 61/779,576, filed Mar. 13, 2013, and also claims the benefit of U.S. Provisional Application Ser. No. 61/788,880, filed Mar. 15, 2013, each of which is incorporated by reference herein.
- The pharmaceutical industry employs a variety of dosage formulations for orally administering medicinal agents to patients. Typical formulations for oral administration include liquid solutions, emulsions, or suspensions, as well as solid forms such as capsules or tablets (as used herein, the term “tablet” means any shaped and compressed solid dosage form, including caplets).
- Efficacy of a drug product often depends on patient compliance with a dosing schedule. Therefore, one per day, extended-release, dosages have better efficacy over the long term than multidose regimens.
- SUMMARY
- The present disclosure provides solid dosage formulations of topiramate [2,3:4,5-bis-O-(1-methylethylidene)-β-D-fructopyranose sulfamate], particularly capsules, containers including such capsules, and methods of dosing.
- In one embodiment, the present disclosure provides an extended-release formulation that is dosed once-per-day, in the form of a capsule.
- In one embodiment, the present disclosure provides an extended-release topiramate capsule that includes a capsule shell and a single population of coated particles contained within the capsule shell, wherein each coated particle includes a core and a coating thereon. In certain embodiments, the particles, whether coated or uncoated, are spherical.
- Each particle core includes a homogeneous mixture including topiramate throughout the core. In certain embodiments, each particle core also includes a filler and/or a binder (preferably, both a filler and a binder) in the homogeneous mixture.
- The coating includes a release controlling agent. In certain embodiments, the coating also includes a pore former and/or a plasticizer.
- In one embodiment, an extended-release topiramate capsule is provided that includes: a capsule shell containing a single population of coated particles; wherein each coated particle includes a core and a coating thereon; wherein each particle core includes a homogeneous mixture throughout its core, the mixture including: 40 wt-% to 50 wt-% of topiramate, based on the total weight of an uncoated particle core; 45 wt-% to 55 wt-% of one or more filler(s), based on the total weight of an uncoated particle core; and 3 wt-% to 7 wt-% of one or more binder(s), based on the total weight of an uncoated particle core; wherein the coating includes: 55 wt-% to 65 wt-% of one or more release control agent(s), based on the total weight of the coating; 20 wt-% to 25 wt-% of one or more pore former(s), based on the total weight of the coating; and 10 wt-% to 20 wt-% of one or more plasticizer(s), based on the total weight of the coating; wherein the particles are coated in an amount sufficient to provide a (coating)weight gain of 8% to 14%.
- As used herein, the terms “topiramate active agent” and “active agent of topiramate” and “topiramate” are synonymous and are used interchangeably throughout the specification to refer to the compound 2,3:4,5-bis-O-(1-methylethylidene)-β-D-fructopyranose sulfamate. Included within these terms are also pharmaceutically acceptable salts thereof as well as polymorphs, solvates, hydrates, dehydrates, co-crystals, anhydrous, and amorphous forms thereof.
- The term “extended-release” means release of an active agent over a period of time, which is much longer than the release from an immediate release formulation, which usually releases more than 80% of the active agent in 60 minutes or less.
- The term “therapeutically effective amount” as used herein means that amount of active compound that elicits the biological or medicinal response in a tissue, system, animal or human that is being sought by a researcher, veterinarian, medical doctor or other clinician, which includes alleviation and/or prevention of the symptoms of the condition being treated.
- The terms “comprises” and variations thereof do not have a limiting meaning where these terms appear in the description and claims. Such terms will be understood to imply the inclusion of a stated step or element or group of steps or elements but not the exclusion of any other step or element or group of steps or elements. By “consisting of” is meant including, and limited to, whatever follows the phrase “consisting of.” Thus, the phrase “consisting of” indicates that the listed elements are required or mandatory, and that no other elements may be present. By “consisting essentially of” is meant including any elements listed after the phrase, and limited to other elements that do not interfere with or contribute to the activity or action specified in the disclosure for the listed elements. Thus, the phrase “consisting essentially of” indicates that the listed elements are required or mandatory, but that other elements are optional and may or may not be present depending upon whether or not they materially affect the activity or action of the listed elements.
- The words “preferred” and “preferably” refer to embodiments of the disclosure that may afford certain benefits, under certain circumstances. However, other embodiments may also be preferred, under the same or other circumstances. Furthermore, the recitation of one or more preferred embodiments does not imply that other embodiments are not useful, and is not intended to exclude other embodiments from the scope of the disclosure.
- As used herein, “a,” “an,” “the,” “at least one,” and “one or more” are used interchangeably. Thus, for example, a particle core that comprises “a” binder can be interpreted to mean that the particle core includes “one or more” binders. Similarly, a coating comprising “a” pore former can be interpreted to mean that the composition includes “one or more” pore formers.
- As used herein, the term “or” is generally employed in its usual sense including “and/or” unless the content clearly dictates otherwise.
- The term “and/or” means one or all of the listed elements or a combination of any two or more of the listed elements (e.g., preventing and/or treating an affliction means preventing, treating, or both preventing and treating an affliction).
- Also herein, all numbers are assumed to be modified by the term “about” and preferably by the term “exactly.” As used herein in connection with a measured quantity, the term “about” refers to that variation in the measured quantity as would be expected by the skilled artisan making the measurement and exercising a level of care commensurate with the objective of the measurement and the precision of the measuring equipment used.
- Also herein, the recitations of numerical ranges by endpoints include all numbers subsumed within that range as well as the endpoints (e.g., 1 to 5 includes 1, 1.5, 2, 2.75, 3, 3.80, 4, 5, etc.). Herein, “up to” a number (e.g., up to 50) includes the number (e.g., 50).
- The above summary of the present disclosure is not intended to describe each disclosed embodiment or every implementation of the present disclosure. The description that follows more particularly exemplifies illustrative embodiments. In several places throughout the application, guidance is provided through lists of examples, which examples can be used in various combinations. In each instance, the recited list serves only as a representative group and should not be interpreted as an exclusive list.
- The present disclosure provides solid dosage formulations of topiramate [2,3:4,5-bis-O-(1-methylethylidene)-β-D-fructopyranose sulfamate]. Such solid dosage formulations are extended-release once-per-day dosage capsules (i.e., designed for administration once per day).
- In one embodiment, the present disclosure provides an extended-release topiramate capsule that includes a capsule shell and a single population of coated particles contained within the capsule shell. In this context, “a single population” means that all the particles in one capsule are the same (within reasonable manufacturing variability) with respect to composition. In this context, “same” means the particles in one capsule are made in a single batch process or in multiple batches using identical processes.
- The use of a single population of particles in any one capsule provides significant advantages from a manufacturing (e.g., quality and cost) perspective. For example, different populations of particles (e.g., beads), having different compositions, do not need to be manufactured for one product.
- Furthermore, in certain embodiments, the capsules of the present disclosure do not include an immediate release component in any significant amount. Typically, capsules of the present invention are free of an immediate-release component.
- Each coated particle includes a core and a coating thereon. In certain embodiments, the particles, whether coated or uncoated, are spherical, as defined in greater detail below.
- Each particle core includes a homogeneous mixture including topiramate throughout the core. In certain embodiments, each particle core also includes a filler and/or a binder (preferably, both a filler and a binder) in the homogeneous mixture.
- The coating on each core includes a release controlling agent. In certain embodiments, the coating also includes a pore former and/or a plasticizer.
- In one embodiment, the present disclosure provides a solid dosage formulation that includes a capsule including core particles with a coating thereon. The core particles include the active agent. The core particles can also include a filler and/or a binder (preferably, both a filler and a binder). The coating includes a release-controlling agent. The coating can also include a pore former and/or a plasticizer.
- In certain embodiments, the particles, whether coated or uncoated, are spherical. In this context, the term “spherical” refers to particles that are generally rounded by visual inspection. They may or may not be perfectly spherical. A representative population of spherical particles (i.e., beads) typically has an average sphericity of at least 0.7. In certain embodiments, the average sphericity of a representative population of particles is at least 0.75, and in certain embodiments at least 0.8. A preferred sphericity is 0.8. Sphericity can be determined by use of a digital microscope and a two-dimensional image analysis software (e.g., such as that by Soft Imaging System GmbH, version 5.0 Build 1054).
- In certain embodiments, the particle size (which is typically the diameter of a spherical particle) of the coated particles is at least 500 μm (microns). In certain embodiments, the particle size of the coated particles is up to 1300 μm. In certain embodiments, the majority of the particles in a capsule are typically in a range of 700 μm to 1000 μm.
- The rate of particle dissolution is typically dependent on the coating weight, which can be adjusted during manufacture. In certain embodiments, the particles are coated in an amount sufficient to provide a weight gain of at least 2%, or at least 4%, or at least 6%, or at least 8%, or at least 9%, or at least 10%. In certain embodiments, the particles are coated in an amount sufficient to provide a weight gain of up to 30%, or up to 25%, or up to 20%, or up to 15%, or up to 12%. Preferably, the particles are coated in an amount sufficient to provide a weight gain of 10% to 12%. In certain embodiments, the particles are coated in an amount sufficient to provide a weight gain of 8% to 14%.
- In this context, “weight gain” is defined as the theoretical weight gain of a population of particles as a result of coating, assuming 100% coating efficiency. Thus, “weight gain” refers to coating weight gain. As an example, 100 grams of uncoated particles (e.g., beads) coated to a theoretical weight gain of 8% means that an amount of coating solution having 8 grams (g) of non-volatile components, e.g., release controlling agent, pore former, and plasticizer, was applied to the uncoated beads in a coating step, but there may be some losses in the manufacturing process.
- Suitable active agents within the particle core include topiramate (2,3:4,5-bis-O-(1-methylethylidene)-β-D-fructopyranose sulfamate). “Topiramate” refers to 2,3:4,5-bis-O-(1-methylethylidene)-β-D-fructopyranose sulfamate as well as pharmaceutically acceptable salts of topiramate, including without limitation, topiramate sodium, topiramate lithium, topiramate potassium, as well as polymorphs, solvates, hydrates, dehydrates, co-crystals, anhydrous, and amorphous forms thereof. Topiramate can be purchased from commercial sources. It is presently available for marketing as an immediate-release tablet product (as TOPAMAX) for certain seizure indications and migraine prophylaxis.
- An amount of topiramate active agent is included within a capsule in an amount sufficient to deliver the desired dose. Alternatively stated, a therapeutically effective amount of topiramate is included within a capsule. A capsule can include a topiramate active agent in an amount of at least 10 weight percent (wt-% or % w/w), or at least 25 wt-%, or at least 35 wt-%, or at least 40 wt-%, or at least 44 wt-%, based on the total weight of an uncoated particle core. A capsule can include a topiramate active agent in an amount of up to 80 wt-%, or up to 50 wt-%, or up to 46 wt-%, based on the total weight of an uncoated particle core. In certain embodiments, the particle cores of the capsules of the present disclosure include 40 wt-% to 50 wt-% topiramate active agent, based on the total weight of an uncoated particle core. In certain embodiments, the particle cores of the capsules of the present disclosure include 44 wt-% to 46 wt-% topiramate active agent, based on the total weight of an uncoated particle core.
- The active agent can be homogeneously mixed within a particle core that includes one or more fillers and/or binders. One or more stabilizers can also be included in the particle core. Inclusion of a stabilizer may help maintain the potency of topiramate over time.
- Herein, for any component specified, if there are multiple grades (e.g., molecular weights) of such component, recitation of the component implies any or all of such variations.
- Suitable fillers for use in the particle cores include, but are not limited to, microcrystalline cellulose, dibasic calcium phosphate, lactose, tribasic calcium phosphate, mannitol, other suitable carbohydrates (e.g., other sugars or starches).

In certain embodiments, the particle coatings include 55 wt-% to 65 wt-% release control agent(s), based on the total weight of the coating. In certain embodiments, the particle coatings include 60 wt-% to 62 wt-% release control agent(s), based on the total weight of the coating.
- Herein, “based on the total weight of the coating” means the total weight of the non-volatile components of the coating (e.g., release controlling agent, pore former, and plasticizer).
- Pore formers that are suitable for use in the coating formulation include, but are not limited to, hypromellose, hydroxypropyl cellulose, methylcellulose, hydroxyethylcellulose, carboxymethylcellulose, sodium carboxymethylcellulose, polyethylene glycol, guar gum, xanthan gum, sodium alginate, povidone (i.e., polyvinylpyrrolidone), crospovidone, sodium starch glycolate, croscarmellose sodium, starch (e.g., pregelatinized starch), carbohydrates (e.g., mannitol, glucose, sucrose, fructose, mannose, galactose, sorbitol, and dextran), sodium chloride, potassium chloride, and calcium chloride. Preferred pore formers for use in the coating on the particle core include, but are not limited to, hydroxypropyl methylcellulose (“HPMC” such as hypromellose 2910 USP available under the trade name METHOCEL E5 Premium, METHOCEL E15 Premium), carboxymethylcellulose, methylcellulose, croscarmellose sodium, povidone, sodium starch glycolate, starch (e.g., pregelatinized starch), alginic acid, guar gum, and polyethylene glycol. Combinations of pore formers can be used if desired. Preferably, hydroxypropyl methylcellulose (hypromellose 2910) is used as a pore former (such as that available from The Dow Chemical Company under the trade designation METHOCEL E5 Premium).
- One or more pore formers can be used in an amount of at least 5 wt-%, or at least 10 wt-%, or at least 15 wt-%, or at least 20 wt-%, or at least 22 wt-%, based on the total weight of the coating. One or more pore formers can be used in an amount of up to 30 wt-%, or up to 26 wt-%, or up to 25 wt-%, or up to 24 wt-%, based on the total weight of the coating. In certain embodiments, the particle coatings include 20 wt-% to 25 wt-% pore former(s), based on the total weight of the coating. In certain embodiments, the particle coatings include 22 wt-% to 24 wt-% pore former(s), based on the total weight of the coating.

One or more plasticizers can be used in an amount of up to 30 wt-%, or up to 20 wt-%, or up to 18 wt-%, based on the total weight of the coating. In certain embodiments, the particle coatings include 10 wt-% to 20 wt-% plasticizer(s), based on the total weight of the coating. In certain embodiments, the particle coatings include 15 wt-% to 18 wt-% plasticizer(s), based on the total weight of the coating.
- The coating solution typically includes the “solids” or non-volatile components (e.g., ethylcellulose, hypromellose 2910 and diethyl phthalate) along with solvents, such as a mixture of alcohol and water, such that the concentration of the non-volatile components in the coating solution is 5 wt-% to 10 wt-%. In an exemplary solution, the solvents are dehydrated alcohol and purified water in a weight ratio of 3.7:1.
- Particles can be coated with a coating composition as described herein using conventional techniques known to one of skill in the art. Briefly, such coating techniques include bottom-spray fluid-bed coating (e.g., Würster), top-spray fluid-bed coating, and tangential-spray fluid-bed coating. Typically, such methods result in a coating that is substantially uniform on each individual particle.
- An amount of coated particles sufficient to deliver the desired dose may be encapsulated into a capsule of any desirable size, for example, a size 000, 00, Oel, 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, or 5.
- Components of a suitable capsule shell include, but are not limited to, hydroxypropyl methylcellulose and gelatin. Preferably, a capsule shell is a hydroxypropyl methylcellulose (HPMC) shell (e.g., at least 90 wt-% HPMC, based on the weight of the shell). Typically, commercially available HPMC capsules include small amounts of water, colorants (e.g., TiO2 and iron oxides), and optionally gelling agents and gelling promoters. They have relatively low moisture content, making them suitable for moisture-sensitive materials. Such capsules resist breakage even at low moisture levels. HPMC capsules typically exhibit low solubility in ethanol, particularly in acidic media such as found in the stomach. Encapsulation of the particles of the present disclosure in such an HPMC capsule shell preferably reduces dose dumping (and immediate release) of topiramate from the coated particles (see “Alcohol Dose Dumping” experiment in the Examples Section).
- The chemical stability of capsules of the present disclosure typically depends on humidity and/or water activity. Thus, it can be desirable to reduce exposure to excessive moisture during storage. This can be done, for example, by storing the capsules of the present disclosure in a container, particularly a sealed container that includes a desiccant. If a desiccant is used, the ratio of weight of desiccant to weight of filled capsules can be at least 0.01, or at least 0.1, or at least 0.25, and can be up to 0.9.
- Suitable containers include, for example, high density polyethylene (HDPE). Such containers can be bottles with screw caps, or the like. Preferably, such bottles are sealed, particularly induction sealed, in addition to a boundary layer provided by the screw cap.
- Suitable desiccants include, for example, silica gel, bentonite clay, and molecular sieve. Combinations of desiccants can be used if desired.
- Capsules of the present disclosure are preferably chemically stable. That is, capsules of the present disclosure retain a potency of at least 90% after a given time period of storage in a sealed container at 25° C. and 60% relative humidity (RH). They also demonstrate little or no decomposition after a given time period such that no more than 2000 parts per million (ppm) each of sulfate or sulfamate decomposition products are produced (see Examples Section). In this context, the given time period is preferably at least 12 months (typically, without any packaging), or at least 24 months (potentially, without any packaging, although packaging, e.g., sealed container and desiccant as described herein would be preferred to achieve chemical stability for this length of time), or at least 36 months (typically, with packaging, e.g., sealed container and desiccant as described herein).
- The present disclosure also provides methods of dosing a subject in need thereof. Such dosing could be for the treatment of convulsions (e.g., convulsions associated with epilepsy). Such dosing could be for prophylactic treatment, for example, of a migraine. Such dosing methods include administering a topiramate capsule. In certain embodiments, once-per-day dosing of the capsule of the present disclosure occurs in the morning. In certain embodiments, once-per-day dosing of the capsule of the present disclosure occurs in the evening.
- In certain embodiments, the extended-release topiramate capsules of the present disclosure, when dosed to a healthy human subject once daily (e.g., in the morning or evening), achieves at steady-state, an AUC0-24h, Cmax, and Cmin in the subject's plasma that are within the 80% to 125% bioequivalence criteria compared to immediate-release topiramate dosed twice per day (where the once-daily dose contains 2x the topiramate active agent as the individual immediate-release doses).
- In this context, two treatments are bioequivalent at steady state (i.e., they are not different from one another) if the 90% confidence interval (CI) of the least squares geometric mean of one formulation-to-another formulation (e.g., capsules of the present disclosure to once-daily dose topiramate) ratio for each pharmacokinetic (PK) parameter (e.g., AUC0-24h, Cmax, and Cmin) is completely contained within the 80-125% interval.
- In certain embodiments, the extended-release topiramate capsules of the present disclosure, when dosed to a healthy human subject once daily in the morning, achieves at steady-state, a reduction of fluctuation index of at least 15% compared to immediate-release topiramate dosed twice per day. In certain embodiments, the reduction of fluctuation index is at least 20% compared to immediate-release topiramate dosed twice per day. In certain embodiments, the reduction of fluctuation index is at least 25% compared to immediate-release topiramate dosed twice per day.
- In certain embodiments, the extended-release topiramate capsules of the present disclosure, when dosed to a healthy human subject once daily in the morning, achieves at steady-state, a Cmin in the subject's plasma that is higher than the Cmin compared to immediate-release topiramate dosed twice per day.
- In certain embodiments, the extended-release topiramate capsules of the present disclosure, when given as a single-dose to a healthy human subject, achieves an AUC0-inf of 170 to 210 h·μg/mL within a 95% confidence interval, and a Cmax of 2 to 4 μg/mL within a 95% confidence interval.
- Capsules of the present disclosure demonstrate a reduced level of side effects compared to other topiramate products. For example, in certain embodiments, the extended-release topiramate capsules of the present disclosure, when dosed once daily to a population of human patients suffering from epilepsy, achieves a reduction in incidence of at least one side effect compared to immediate-release topiramate dosed at the same total daily dose divided twice per day. This comparison is based on the extended-release topiramate capsules of the present disclosure compared to placebo, and the immediate-release topiramate (TOPAMAX) compared to placebo. The term “incidence” refers to the percentage of patients who experience a new side effect during the study. The at least one side effect includes somnolence, dizziness, ataxia, disturbance in attention, memory impairment, cognitive disorder, and psychomotor slowing.

The ratio of Dehydrated Alcohol to Purified Water is about 3.7:1on a weight basis. - In clinical studies, the extended-release topiramate capsules of Formulation A, when given as a single-dose to a healthy human subject, achieved an AUC0-inf of 173.9 to 200.1 h·μg/mL within a 95% confidence interval, and a Cmax of 2.64 to 3.16 μg/mL within a 95% confidence interval.
- In clinical studies, the extended-release topiramate capsules of Formulation B, when given as a single-dose to a healthy human subject, achieved an AUC0-inf of 179.7 to 204.3 h·μg/mL within a 95% confidence interval, and a Cmax of 2.94 to 3.43 μg/mL within a 95% confidence interval.
- In clinical studies, the extended-release topiramate capsules of the present disclosure, when dosed to patients with epilepsy (more specifically, as adjunctive treatment in patients with refractory partial onset seizure with or without generalization) once daily, achieved a reduction in incidence of at least one side effect compared to immediate-release topiramate dosed at the same total daily dose divided twice per day.
- This comparison is based on the extended-release topiramate capsules of the present disclosure compared to placebo, and the immediate-release topiramate (TOPAMAX) compared to placebo. Each being compared to placebo (as opposed to each other), this evaluation demonstrated that the extended-release topiramate capsules of the present disclosure achieve a reduction in at least one side effect (e.g., somnolence, dizziness, ataxia, disturbance in attention, memory impairment, cognitive disorder, and psychomotor slowing).
- Capsules of the present disclosure, which included an ethanol-soluble particle coating, were evaluated in vitro for dose dumping in ethanol using a USP apparatus 1 (baskets) operating at 100 revolutions per minute (rpm) with a pH 1.2 HCl buffer containing 5 to 40% v/v (volume by volume) ethanol. There was no evidence of immediate release or unacceptable acceleration of release of the topiramate.
- Sulfate and Sulfamate degradation products were measured utilizing an ion chromatography (IC) method with ion suppression conductivity detection. The chromatographic system used an Alltech Novosep A-2, 250×4.0 mm, 5-μm particle size column maintained at 43° C. The flow rate of the 3.6 mM sodium carbonate mobile phase was 1.0 mL/min. A 7 mg/mL solution of topiramate in water containing 10% acetonitrile was prepared from particles (removed from a capsule of the present disclosure) using sonication and mixing to extract the sulfate and sulfamate degradation products. Particles within the capsules of the present disclosure demonstrated little or no decomposition after a given time period, such that no more than 2000 parts per million (ppm) each of sulfate or sulfamate degradation products were produced.
