Definitions
- This invention relates to the administration of Cyclosporin A by inhalation via a solution aerosol formulation.
- Such administrations will have particular benefits in the treatment of asthma or other respiratory diseases but are also expected to provide a convenient method of administering the drug for other purposes such as immunosuppression, treatment of auto-immune diseases, antiparasitic treatments, etc.
- Cyclosporin A was developed as an immunosuppressant but has more recently been proposed as a treatment for asthma and other respiratory diseases.
- EP-Al- 0504761 deals with the use of Cyclosporin A in pulmonary delivery systems for this purpose, and is primarily concerned with the administration via inhalation of a particular crystalline form of Cyclosporin A designated CY-A X-III.
- Cyclosporin A as a solution in chlorofluorocarbon propellants in aerosol inhalation systems is also described. This is not a preferred option however, it being stated that the administration of Cyclosporin A in solution will have none of the advantages of administration of CY-A X-III.
- WO 95/24892 describes the use of tocopherol and derivatives as surfactants to stabilise suspensions of a number of medicaments in hydrofluorocarbon propellants such as HFC 134a (1,1,1,2- tetrafluoroethane) and HFC 227 (1,1,1,2,3,3,3- heptafluoropropane) .
- HFC 134a 1,1,1,2- tetrafluoroethane
- HFC 227 1,1,1,2,3,3,3- heptafluoropropane
- WO 96/06598 describes the use of polyglycolised glycerides in similar formulations and also exemplifies suspensions of Cyclosporin A in HFC 134a.
- Cyclosporin A is sufficiently insoluble in the related hydrofluorocarbon, HFC 134a, to be used in a suspension rather than a solution formulation.
- Cyclosporin A in HFC 227 is such that no co-solvent is required, although excipients may be added for other principal purposes, such as to improve valve function.
- Excipients conventionally used in pharmaceutical aerosol formulations may be added if required, in particular excipients to improve valve lubrication and/or excipients to modify flavour.
- Particular lubricants that may be mentioned include ethanol and polyethoxylated compounds, especially polyethylene glycol . Either 96% or absolute ethanol may conveniently be used.
- polyethylene glycol with a mean molecular weight between 200 to 3000, preferably between 400 to 2000, e.g. 1500, is preferred.
- Examples of other polyethoxylated compounds that may be used as lubricants include polysorbates, e.g. Polysorbate 80, and alkyl aryl polyether alcohols, e.g. tyloxapol .
- Examples of other lubricating excipients that may be mentioned include high molecular weight fully halogenated chlorofluorocarbons and esters of medium chain fatty acids, lecithins, oleic acid or ⁇ orbitan esters.
- the concentration of lubricant will depend on the type of lubricant and the nature of the valve. Ethanol addition will normally be less than 10%v/v, preferably between 2% to 7% v/v (eg about 5%v/v) .
- the concentration of other lubricants will typically fall within the range of about 0.01 to 4%v/v, more typically about 0.1 to 2%v/v. If necessary a small amount of polar liquid, including ethanol, may be added as adjuvant to help dissolve such lubricants.
- Flavour modifying excipients include peppermint oil, menthol, Dentomint (Dentomint is a trade name) , saccharin, saccharin sodium and aspartame. A solid excipient, preferably milled to a low particle size to reduce settling, may be used.
- the concentration of flavouring excipient will typically be 0.005 to 4%v/v, more typically 0.01 to l%v/v.
- the concentration of Cyclosporin A in the solution will be in the range 1 to 400mg/ml, more preferably in the range 5 to lOOmg/ml and most preferably in the range of about 10 to 50mg/ml.
- Cyclosporin A may preferably constitute up to about 5% weight per total volume of solution.
- HFC 227 will generally be used as sole propellant
- formulations also comprising one or more different propellants are also included within the scope of the invention, provided that there is sufficient HFC 227 present to maintain a stable solution at the concentration required to deliver an effective dose of the medicament.
- the alternative propellant or propellants will not be chlorocarbons or chlorofluorocarbons .
- propellants which may be used include HFC 134a, HFC 152, low molecular weight hydrocarbons and dimethyl ether.
- Formulations containing one or more additional medicaments are also considered to be within the scope of the invention.
- the additional medicaments may also be in solution or they may be in the form of a suspension of fine drug particles in the conventional manner. In this latter case surfactants or adjuvants commonly used to stabilise such suspensions may be present.
- Formulations according to the invention may be used to manufacture pharmaceutical aerosols for treatment of respiratory diseases, in particular respiratory obstructive airways diseases (ROAD) such as asthma.
- ROAD respiratory obstructive airways diseases
- Cyclosporin A for the manufacture of a solution aerosol formulation in 1, 1, 1, 2 , 3 , 3 , 3-heptafluoropropane for the treatment of respiratory diseases, in particular respiratory obstructive airways diseases such as asthma.
- a further aspect of the invention provides a method of treating respiratory diseases, including ROAD, comprising administering by inhalation a spray or aerosol derived from a formulation comprising Cyclosporin A dissolved in 1,1,1,2,3,3,3- heptafluoropropane .
- a pharmaceutical aerosol device containing a formulation comprising Cyclosporin A dissolved in 1, 1, 1, 2 , 3 , 3, 3 -heptafluoropropane.
- the formulation according to the invention will be used in a standard metered dose aerosol inhaler device (MDI) .
- MDI metered dose aerosol inhaler device
- Such devices typically use a 50 ⁇ l or lOO ⁇ l valve.
- a typical dose of Cyclosporin A for inhalation is expected to be approximately 25mg per day, delivered in individual doses of 1 to lOmg per inhalation, preferably 1 to 5mg per inhalation. This will require a solution concentration of Cyclosporin A of about 10 to lOOmg/ml. It will be appreciated that different doses may be required depending on the disease to be treated, and solution concentration and/or valve size can be varied accordingly.
- MDI devices commonly use a spacer to increase the path length between spray orifice and the mouth of the patient. This slows down the aerosol jet and allows larger aerosol particles to settle out before entering the patient's mouth. Whilst not essential to the operation of the present invention the use of a spacer has been found to reduce the incidence of larger particles with minimum effect on respirable fraction.
- the formulations according to the invention may be filled into canisters suitable for delivering pharmaceutical aerosol formulations.
- Canisters generally comprise a container capable of withstanding the vapour pressure of the propellant used such as a plastic or plastic-coated glass bottle or preferably a metal can, for example an aluminium can which may optionally be anodised, lacquer-coated and/or plastic-coated, and closed with a metering valve.
- the metering valves are designed to deliver a metered amount of the formulation per actuation and incorporate a gasket to prevent leakage of propellant through the valve.
- the gasket may comprise any suitable elastomeric material such as for example low density polyethylene, chlorobutyl, black and white butadiene-acrylonitrile rubbers, butyl rubber and neoprene .
- suitable valves are commercially available from manufacturers well known in the aerosol industry, for example, from Valois, France, Bespak pic. UK and 3M-Neotechnic Ltd, UK.
- Each filled canister is conveniently fitted into a suitable channelling device prior to use to form a metered dose inhaler for administration to the medicament into the lungs or nasal cavity of a patient.
- Suitable channelling devices comprise for example a valve actuator and a cylindrical or cone- like passage through which medicament may be delivered from the filled canister via the metering valve to the nose or mouth of a patient, e.g. a mouthpiece actuator.
- each filled canister for use in a metered dose inhaler contains 100 to 250 metered doses or puffs of medicament.
- Administration of medicament may be indicated for the treatment of mild, moderate or severe acute or chronic symptoms or for prophylactic treatment. It will be appreciated that the precise dose administered will depend on the age and condition of the patient and the frequency of administration and will ultimately be at the discretion of the attendant physician. Typically, administration may be one or more times, for example from 1 to 8 times per day, giving for example 1, 2, 3 or 4 puffs each time.
- the filled canisters and metered dose inhalers described herein comprise further aspects of the present invention.
- Cyclosporin A was weighed into a plastic-coated glass bottle and a continuous flow valve crimped onto the bottle. Propellant was added to the bottle from an aerosol can using a suitable transfer valve. The quantity added was chosen to leave some undissolved Cyclosporin A and therefore ensure a saturated solution. The suspension was left to equilibrate overnight at 20°C and filtered through a 0.5 ⁇ m polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) membrane using a pressure filtration apparatus into an empty crimped receptor bottle to give a clear saturated solution. The weight of solution in the bottle was determined and the propellant was then carefully vented off to leave the Cyclosporin A. This was dissolved in a measured volume of ethanol and the concentration of the solution measured using High Pressure Liquid Chro atography (HPLC) in order to give the quantity of Cyclosporin A in the original propellant solution.
- HPLC High Pressure Liquid Chro atography
- EXAMPLE 2 500mg of Cyclosporin A was weighed into a plastic-coated glass bottle. 10ml of HFC 227 was added and a lOO ⁇ l metering valve immediately crimped into place. The resulting aerosol delivered 5mg Cyclosporin A per actuation. The solution was stable over a period of three months.
- EXAMPLE 3 A number of formulations containing ethanol were prepared. The ethanol wa ⁇ added to act as lubricant for the aerosol valve and improve dose reproducibility. An ethanolic solution of Cyclosporin A was produced at a concentration suitable for producing the required final concentration in the aerosol. A measured quantity was added to a standard aluminium aerosol can and a metering valve crimped on top. The required amount of propellant was added to the can through the valve. All solutions were found to be stable to chemical degradation on storage at 45°C for one month and to precipitation at temperatures as low as -78°C.
- HFC 227 formulations were subjected to the standard Anderson Impactor test for respirable fraction with the following results:
- Cyclosporin A (mg/ml) 50 50 25 25 10
