April 29, 2016 1:42 pm / Leave a comment

DRUG REGULATORY AFFAIRS INTERNATIONAL

During the manufacture of APIs as sulfonate salts, esters of sulfonic acid may develop in undesired chemical side reactions. Recently, five new General Monographs have been included in the European Pharmacopoeia which describe how to cope with these impurities. Read more about these genotoxic impurities and the possibility to control them thanks to risk assessments.

http://www.gmp-compliance.org/enews_05313_Five-new-General-Chapters-in-the-European-Pharmacopoeia-on-Genotoxic-Impurities-in-Pharmaceutical-APIs_15499,S-AYL_n.html

Sulfonic acids are often used for the manufacture of pharmaceutical APIs. They serve as counterions in crystallisation processes, as protective groups or acid catalysts in API syntheses. Here, if short-chain alcohols such as methanol, ethanol or isopropanol are present, the formation of esters of these sulfonic acids can occur, which may have a genotoxic potential (alkylation of DNA).

The Mesilate Working Party which has been appointed in 2008 by the European Pharmacopoeia Commission has elaborated five General Chapters on different sulfonates which have been published in the European Pharmacopoeia Supplement 8.7 that came into force on 1 April 2016. The…

EXAMPLE 1

Preparation of trans-clomiphene citrate from

1- {4- [2-(Oiethylamino)ethoxy| phenylj-1 ,2-diphenylethanol

Dehydration

[0023] l-{4-[2-(Diethylamino)ethoxy]phenyl}-l,2-diphenylethanol (6) dissolved in ethanol containing an excess of hydrogen chloride was refluxed 3 hours at 50 °C. The solvent and excess hydrogen chloride were removed under vacuum and the residue was dissolved in dichloromethane. 2-{4-[(Z)-l,2-diphenylvinyl]phenoxy}-N,N- diethylethanaminium hydrogen chloride (7) was obtained.

Chlorination

The hydrochloride salt (7) solution obtained above was treated with 1.05 equivalents of N-chlorosuccinimide and stirred at room temperature for about 20 hours. Completion of the reaction was confirmed by HPLC. The hydrochloride salt was converted to the free base by addition of saturated aqueous bicarbonate solution. The mixture was stirred at room temperature for 30 minutes after which the phases were separated and the organic phase was evaporated in vacuo. 2-{4-[2-chloro-l,2- diphenylvinyl]phenoxy}-N,N-diethylethanamine (clomiphene -1.8:1 E:Z mixture) (8) was obtained.

Separation of clomiphene isomers

Clomiphene (8) obtained above is dissolved in methanol and racemic binaphthyl- phosphoric acid (BPA) is added under stirring. When the precipitate begins separating from the solution, stirring is stopped and the mixture is allowed to settle at room temperature for 2 hours. The precipitate is filtered, washed with methanol and ether and dried. Trans-clomiphene-BPA salt (3) is obtained.

The enclomiphene-BPA salt (3) obtained above is extracted with ethyl acetate and NH₃ solution. To the organic solution washed with water and dried, citric acid dissolved in ethanol is added. The solution is allowed to settle for about one hour at room temperature; the precipitate is then filtered and dried under vacuum. The obtained precipitate, trans-clomiphene citrate (1) is dissolved in 2-butanone for storage.

EXAMPLE 2

Synthesis of Clomiphene Using a Single Solvent

Step 1 – Dehydration of l-i4-r2-(Diethylamino)ethoxy1phenyl|-l,2- diphenylefhanol to form 2-{4-[(Z)-l,2-diphenylvinyllphenoxy}-N,N-diethylethanaminium hydrogen sulfate (7) [0030] The synthesis route described in Example 1 utilized HC1 for the dehydration step and utilized ethanol at 50 °C as the solvent. Sulfuric acid was investigated as an alternative to HC1 for the dehydration step (as described in Example 1) in part due to the more favorable corrosion profile of sulfuric acid. Dichloromethane (methylene chloride) was investigated as an alternative solvent for the dehydration step as this would render removal of the ethanol solvent prior to the chlorination step unnecessary.

A 100 mL 3-neck round bottom flask, fitted with a temperature probe and a stir bar, was charged with l- {4-[2-(Diethylamino)ethoxy]phenyl}-l,2-diphenylethanol (6) (6.60 g, 16.9 mmol) and 66 mL (lxlO³ mmol) of methylene chloride to give a yellow solution which was cooled in an ice bath to 0 °C. Concentrated sulfuric acid (H₂S0₄, 0.96 mL, 18.1 mmol) was added at a rate such that the internal temperature did not exceed 5 °C. Upon completion of the addition, the mixture was allowed to stir one hour at ambient temperature. Completion of the reaction was confirmed by high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC). The reaction resulted in 7.96 grams of 2- (4-[(Z)- 1 ,2- diphenylvinyl]phenoxy}-N,N-diethylethanaminium hydrogen sulfate (7), a yield of 100%. Thus, sulfuric acid was demonstrated to be a suitable acid for the dehydration step.

[0042] Using these HPLC conditions, starting material has a retention time of 3.30 min and product has a retention time of 4.05 min.

It was determined that removal of water produced by the dehydration reaction was important before performing the chlorination step. When ethanol is used as the solvent for this reaction, as in Example 1, the water is removed azeotropically upon removal of the ethanol. Several methods of drying the dichloromethane solution were attempted. Drying with MgS0₄ had a deleterious effect on the subsequent chlorination step, rendering the chlorination process very messy with a number of new impurities observed following HPLC analysis which were determined to be the corresponding chlorohydrins. On the other hand, a wash with brine was sufficient to remove enough water and had no deleterious effect on the chlorination step. Accordingly, the solution was stirred vigorously with brine (66 ml) for 30 minutes and then the phases were separated prior to chlorination step.

Step 2- Synthesis of 2-|4-r2-chloro-L2-diphenylvinyl1phenoxyl-N,N- diethylethanamine 8

The solution of 2-{4-[(Z)-l,2-diphenylvinyl]phenoxy}-N,N-diethylethanaminium hydrogen sulfate (7.94 grams) in methylene chloride obtained in step 1 is stirred at room temperature and treated with N-chlorosuccinimide (2.37 g, 17.7 mmol, 1.05 equivalents) in a single portion and left to stir at room temperature for 12 hours. The yellow solution became orange and then went back to yellow. After 12 hours, a sample was removed, concentrated and assayed by HPLC to confirm the extent of reaction. HPLC analysis revealed that the reaction had proceeded but not to completion. Accordingly, an additional 0.09 equivalents of N-chlorosuccinimide (203 mg, 1.52 mmol) was added and the solution stirred at room temperature for an additional 4 hours. The reaction was again assayed by HPLC which revealed that the reaction was near completion. Accordingly, an additional 0.09 equivalents of N-chlorosuccinimide (203 mg, 1.52 mmol) was added and the solution stirred for an additional 12 hours at room temperature. The reaction was again assayed by HPLC and an additional 0.058 equivalents of N-chlorosuccinimide (131 mg, 0.98 mmol) was added and the solution stirred for an additional 4 hours. HPLC indicated that the reaction was complete at that point. The reaction was carefully quenched by slow addition of 66 mL (600 mmol) of saturated aqueous sodium bicarbonate solution and the quenched mixture was stirred for 30 minutes at room temperature – the reaction mixture pH should be about 8-9 after addition of saturated aqueous sodium bicarbonate solution. The reaction yielded 6.86 grams of 2-{4-[2-chloro-l,2-diphenylvinyl]phenoxy}-N,N- diethylethanamine (8). The phases were separated and the organic phase was evaporated in vacuo. The resulting light brown oil was transferred to a tared amber bottle using a small volume of dichloromethane.

[0055] Using these HPLC conditions, the retention time of product is 15 minutes.

Chromatographic Separation of Clomiphene Isomers

Clomiphene (mixture of isomers) in free base form obtained by steps 1 and 2 is loaded onto a chromatographic column (e.g. batch high pressure chromatography or moving bed chromatography) using the same solvent as used in steps 1 and 2 (here DCM) in order to separate the cis- and trans-clomiphene isomers. Trans-clomiphene is preferably eluted using a solvent suitable for recrystallization.

Determination of cymipristone in human plasma by liquid chromatography–electrospray ionization-tandem mass spectrometry

doi:10.1016/j.jchromb.2010.01.027

Abstract

A rapid, specific and sensitive liquid chromatography–electrospray ionization-tandem mass spectrometry method was developed and validated for determination of cymipristone in human plasma. Mifepristone was used as the internal standard (IS). Plasma samples were deproteinized using methanol. The compounds were separated on a ZORBAX SB C₁₈ column (50 mm × 2.1 mm i.d., dp 1.8 μm) with gradient elution at a flow-rate of 0.3 ml/min. The mobile phase consisted of 10 mM ammonium acetate and acetonitrile. The detection was performed on a triple-quadruple tandem mass spectrometer by selective reaction monitoring (SRM) mode via electrospray ionization. Target ions were monitored at [M+H]⁺m/z 498 → 416 and 430 → 372 in positive electrospray ionization (ESI) mode for cymipristone and IS, respectively. Linearity was established for the range of concentrations 0.5–100 ng/ml with a coefficient correlation (r) of 0.9996. The lower limit of quantification (LLOQ) was identifiable and reproducible at 0.5 ng/ml. The validated method was successfully applied to study the pharmacokinetics of cymipristone in healthy Chinese female subjects.

Lurasidone and its pharmaceutically acceptable salts like lurasidone hydrochloride is chemically, (3a ?,45,7 ?,7a5)-2-{ (1 ?,2 ?)-2-[4-(l,2-benzisothiazol-3-yl)piperazin-lyl-methyl] cyclohexylmethyl }hexahydro-4,7-methano-2H-isoindole- 1 ,3 -dione hydrochloride and has the structure represented by the Formula (I):

Formula-I

Lurasidone hydrochloride is marketed in the United States under the trade name Latuda®. Lurasidone and its pharmaceutically acceptable salts as well as process for their preparation was first disclosed in US patent no. 5,532,372. The patent discloses the preparation of lurasidone hydrochloride using racemic trans 1,2-cyclohexane dicarboxylic acid. Racemic trans 1,2-cyclohexane dicarboxylic acid on reduction with lithium aluminium hydride in THF at reflux temperature forms l,2-bis(hydroxymethyl)cyclohexane which is converted into racemic iran5-l,2-bis(methanesulfonyloxymethyl)cyclohexane by reaction with methane sulfonyl halide. l-(l,2-benzisothiazol-3-yl)piperazine on reaction with trans-l, 2-b (methanesulfonyloxymethyl)cyclohexane in the presence of sodium carbonate and acetonitrile forms iran5-3a,7a-octahydroisoindolium-2-spiro- -[4′-(l,2-benzisothiazol-3-yl)]piperazine methanesulfonate which on reaction with bicyclo[2.2.1]heptane-2-exo-3-exo-dicarboximide in the presence of potassium carbonate, dibenzo-18-crown-6-ether and xylene on refluxing forms racemic lurasidone free base. The compound is obtained by column chromatography and then treated the resulting lurasidone free base with IPA.HCl in acetone to obtain racemic lurasidone hydrochloride. Resolution of racemic lurasidone hydrochloride is carried out using tartaric acid as resolving agent. The process involves use of lithium aluminium hydride which is highly pyrophoric reagent and is not to utilize the same on commercial scale due to its handling problems associated with its reactivity. Also, the use of the column chromatography for purification is not viable on commercial scale. Further the process involves the usage of dibenzo-18-crown-6-ether as a phase transfer catalyst which is costly material and in turn increases the cost of production. Carrying out the resolution in the last stages is difficult due to the presence of six chiral centres in lurasidone and is also not suitable for an industrial scale preparation as it affects the overall yield and cost of the manufacturing process.

Chinese patent application no. CN102731512 discloses a process for preparation of lurasidone which comprises reaction of racemic irans-l,2-bis(methanesulfonyloxymethyl) cyclohexane and l-(l,2-benzisothiazol-3-yl)piperazine in toluene in the presence of sodium carbonate or potassium carbonate having particle size less than 200 micron and tetrabutyl ammonium bromide to give the intermediate /rans-3a,7a-octahydroisoindolium-2-spiro- -[4′-(l,2-benzisothiazol-3-yl)]piperazinemethanesulfonate which on reaction with bicyclo[2.2.1]heptane-2-exo-3-exo-dicarboximide in toluene using potassium carbonate having particle size less than 200 micron forms racemic lurasidone free base. The racemic free base is converted into racemic hydrochloride salt using acetone and cone, hydrochloric acid. Racemic lurasidone hydrochloride is resolved by following the method disclosed in US patent no. 5,532,372. The process involves resolution of product in the last stage which is not commercially viable as it affects the overall yield and cost of the manufacturing process.

Japanese patent no. JP4219696 discloses the resolution of trans 1,2-cycloheaxne dicarboxylic acid using (lS,2R)-(+)-norephedrine or (lR,2S)-(-)norephedrine to provide (R,R)-trans 1 ,2-cyclohexanedicarboxylic acid. The (R,R)-iran,sl,2-cyclohexane dicarboxylic acid obtained was esterified with ethanol and the obtained ester compound was reduced with vitride to provide (R,R)-l,2-bis(hydroxymethyl)cyclohexane followed by treatment with methane sulfonyl chloride to form (R,R)-1,2-bis(methanesulfonyloxymethyl)cyclohexane. The process requires large quantity of reducing agent viz., for reducing one lg of compound about 5g of reducing agent is required which is not conducive for industrial production.

Chinese patent application no. CN 102952001 discloses a process for the preparation of (lR,2R)cyclohexane-l,2-dimethanol by the reduction of (lR,2R)cyclohexane-l,2-

dicarboxylic acid using sodium borohydride or potassium borohydride and boron triflouoride diethyl ether in THF or diethyl ether as solvent. Boron triflouoride diethyl ether is used in large quantity and quite expensive which makes the process commercially unviable.

International publications no. WO 2012/131606 and WO 2014/037886 disclose a process for preparation of lurasidone which involves separating the racemic transl,2-cyclohexane dicarboxylic acid into its (R,R) trans and (S,S) trans isomers and then using the desired trans (R,R) isomer for the preparation of lurasidone hydrochloride using the chemistry disclosed in US patent no. 5,532,372 for preparation of racemic lurasidone hydrochloride. In these publications diisobutyl aluminium hydride (DIBAL) is used as the reducing agent for the preparation of (1R,2R) cyclohexane 1,2-dimethanol from (1R,2R) cyclohexane 1,2-dicarboxylic acid which is quite expensive. Further the process involves the usage of dibenzo-18-crown-6-ether as a phase transfer catalyst which is costly material and in turn increases the cost of production.

Some of the prior art processes disclose the process for the preparation of lurasidone hydrochloride from l,2-(lR,2R)-bis-(methanesulfonyloxymethyl)cyclohexane using different solvents and bases.

US patent no. 8,853,395 discloses a process for the preparation of lurasidone in which condensation of iran5-l,2-bis(methanesulfonyloxymethyl)cyclohexane with 1-(1,2-benz isothiazol-3-yl)piperazine and condensation of /rans-3a,7a-octahydroisoindolium-2-spiro- -[4′-(l,2-benzisothiazol-3-yl)]piperazine methanesulfonate with bicyclo[2.2.1] heptane-2-exo-3-exo-dicarboximide is carried out using organic bases with a ρ¾ higher than 10 such as l,4-diazabicycloundec-7-ene (DBU), l,5-diazabicyclo[4.3.0]non-5-ene (DBN), 1,4-diaza bicyclo[2.2.2] -octane (DABCO). These organic bases are comparatively expensive.

Indian patent application no. IN 2306/MUM/2014 and Chinese patent applications no. CN 102863437 and CN 103864774 disclose the use of dimethyl formamide (DMF), dimethyl sulphoxide (DMSO), dimethyl acetamide (DMA) and N-methyl pyrrolidine (NMP) for the condensation of iran5-3a,7a-octahydroisoindolium-2-spiro- -[4′-(l,2-benzisothiazol-3-yl)] piperazine methanesulfonate with bicyclo[2.2.1] heptane-2-exo-3-exo-dicarboximide to form lurasidone. These solvents have high boiling point so not preferred at commercial scale.

Some of the prior art processes are related to reduction of impurities or quality improvement of lurasidone hydrochloride.

International publication no. WO2011/136383 discloses a process for the preparation of lurasidone hydrochloride in which amount of by products are reduced by increasing the quantity of l-(l,2-benzisothiazol-3-yl)piperazine instead of sodium carbonate or potassium carbonate as base in the reaction mixture. Increasing the amount of l-(l,2-benzisothiazol-3-yl)piperazine causes an increase in cost of production and removal of excess compound makes the process less commercially viable.

International publication no. WO2011/136384 discloses a process for the preparation of lurasidone hydrochloride in which amount of by products are reduced by using dibasic potassium phosphate with a small amount of water as a base instead of sodium carbonate. Use of dibasic potassium phosphate as a base causes an increase in cost of production as dibasic potassium phosphate is expensive.

International publication no. WO2013/014665 discloses various processes for the preparation of lurasidone hydrochloride. In general the process is shown below:

Formula-(I)

In this process iran5-(lR,2R)-2-(aminomethyl)cyclohexyl)methanol of Formula (B) is first reacted with bicyclo[2.2.1]heptane-2-exo-3-exo-dicarboximide of Formula (A) to form (3aR,4S,7R,7aS)-2-(((lR,2R)-2-(hydroxymethyl)cyclohexyl)methyl)hexahydro-lH-4,7-methanoisoindole-l,3(2H)-dione of Formula (C) which on reaction with methane sulphonyl chloride followed by reaction with l-(l,2-benzisothiazol-3-yl)piperazine of Formula (D) forms lurasidone free base which was converted into lurasidone hydrochloride using acetone and cone, hydrochloric acid.

Some of the prior art processes disclose various combinations of hydrogen chloride and solvent for the preparation of lurasidone hydrochloride from lurasidone free base.

US 7,605,260 discloses use of acetone and aqueous HC1 having strength 1.8-14.4 % for preparing lurasidone hydrochloride. The yield of lurasidone hydrochloride is relatively low (85%) by this method. If the acid concentration during the salt formation is more than 5.0% then acetone quantity as the residual solvent in the reaction product is found to be greater than 0.5% in our hands which is above the ICH limits. If acid concentration during the salt formation is less than 1.8%, then yield is reduced drastically to 65%. Therefore, this method has limitations on the large-scale industrial production.

Chinese patent application no. CN102746289A discloses the process for the preparation of lurasidone hydrochloride by adding a mixture of acetone and aqueous HC1 to a solution of lurasidone free base in acetone. On reproducing this process in laboratory, it was observed that the XRPD of the product obtained does not match with XRPD of lurasidone hydrochloride.

Indian patent application IN 777/MUM/2013 discloses use of IPA, water and 35% Aqueous HC1 for the preparation of lurasidone hydrochloride. The IPA content in the product was found to be more than 5000ppm.

The methods described in the prior art are not suitable for large scale commercial production as the residual solvent is out of the ICH limits and thus the product obtained can’t be used as a drug. In order to keep the residual solvent(s) within ICH limits, repeated crystallization/purification are required which results in reduced yield and make the process quite expensive.

The prior art discloses various processes for the preparation of lurasidone hydrochloride and its intermediates. However, there still remains a need for alternative process for the preparation of lurasidone and its pharmaceutically acceptable salts substantially free of residual solvent(s) which can be used as a drug.

According to another embodiment of the present invention, novel process for the preparation of the compound of Formula (III), their isomers and pharmaceutically acceptable salts thereof, comprises condensing 1,2-cyclohexane dicarboxylic acid of Formula (II), their isomers with carbonyl diimidazole, optionally in a solvent.

Scheme-1:

Example-1

Synthesis of trans(R,R)-l,2-cyclo exane dicarboxylic acid

A round bottom flask was charged with methanol (500 mL), IPA (500 mL) and trans (racemic)-l,2-cyclohexane dicarboxylic acid (100 g). In this reaction mass (R)-l-phenylethyl amine (74 mL) was added over a period of 30 minutes and stirred for 2-3 hrs at 30-40 °C. The solid obtained was filtered, washed with methanol and IPA solution (50+50 mL) and dried under reduced pressure to obtain crude salt of iran5(R,R)-l,2-cyclohexane dicarboxylic acid. The obtained salt was stirred in a solution of methanol (500 mL) and IPA (500 mL) at 65-70 °C for 2-3 hours, cooled to room temperature and filtered. The solid was washed with methanol and IPA solution (50+50 mL) and dried under reduced pressure. The solid thus obtained was dissolved in about 2N hydrochloric acid and extracted two times with ethyl acetate (1000 mL+200 mL). Organic layers were combined and washed with brine solution (100 mL). Ethyl acetate was distilled off under vacuum at 50-55 °C and cyclohexane was added to the residue. The solid separated out was filtered and washed with cyclohexane and dried under vacuum at 45-50 °C for 8-10 hours. Yield = 29.4 g

Regulatory Designation	U.S. – Breakthrough Therapy (Treat hypophosphatasia (HPP) in children); U.S. – Breakthrough Therapy (Treat hypophosphatasia (HPP) in patients whose first signs or symptoms occurred prior to 18 years of age); U.S. – Fast Track (Treat hypophosphatasia (HPP)); U.S. – Orphan Drug (Treat hypophosphatasia (HPP)); U.S. – Priority Review (Treat hypophosphatasia (HPP) in children); EU – Accelerated Assessment (Treat hypophosphatasia (HPP)); EU – Accelerated Assessment (Treat hypophosphatasia (HPP) in children); EU – Orphan Drug (Treat hypophosphatasia (HPP)); Japan – Orphan Drug (Treat hypophosphatasia (HPP)); Australia – Orphan Drug (Treat hypophosphatasia (HPP)

Asfotase Alfa is a first-in-class bone-targeted enzyme replacement therapy designed to address the underlying cause of hypophosphatasia (HPP)—deficient alkaline phosphatase (ALP). Hypophosphatasia is almost always fatal when severe skeletal disease is obvious at birth. By replacing deficient ALP, treatment with Asfotase Alfa aims to improve the elevated enzyme substrate levels and improve the body’s ability to mineralize bone, thereby preventing serious skeletal and systemic patient morbidity and premature death. Asfotase alfa was first approved by Pharmaceuticals and Medicals Devices Agency of Japan (PMDA) on July 3, 2015, then approved by the European Medicine Agency (EMA) on August 28, 2015, and was approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) on October 23, 2015. Asfotase Alfa is marketed under the brand name Strensiq® by Alexion Pharmaceuticals, Inc. The annual average price of Asfotase Alfa treatment is $285,000.

Hypophosphatasia (HPP) is a rare inheritable disease that results from loss-of-function mutations in the ALPL gene encoding tissue-nonspecific alkaline phosphatase (TNSALP). Therapeutic options for treating the underlying pathophysiology of the disease have been lacking, with the mainstay of treatment being management of symptoms and supportive care. HPP is associated with significant morbidity and mortality in paediatric patients, with mortality rates as high as 100 % in perinatal-onset HPP and 50 % in infantile-onset HPP. Subcutaneous asfotase alfa (Strensiq(®)), a first-in-class bone-targeted human recombinant TNSALP replacement therapy, is approved in the EU for long-term therapy in patients with paediatric-onset HPP to treat bone manifestations of the disease. In noncomparative clinical trials in infants and children with paediatric-onset HPP, asfotase alfa rapidly improved radiographically-assessed rickets severity scores at 24 weeks (primary timepoint) as reflected in improvements in bone mineralization, with these benefits sustained after more than 3 years of treatment. Furthermore, patients typically experienced improvements in respiratory function, gross motor function, fine motor function, cognitive development, muscle strength (normalization) and ability to perform activities of daily living, and catch-up height-gain. In life-threatening perinatal and infantile HPP, asfotase alfa also improved overall survival. Asfotase alfa was generally well tolerated in clinical trials, with relatively few patients discontinuing treatment and most treatment-related adverse events being of mild to moderate intensity. Thus, subcutaneous asfotase alfa is a valuable emerging therapy for the treatment of bone manifestations in patients with paediatric-onset HPP.

FDA

October 23, 2015

Release

Today, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration approved Strensiq (asfotase alfa) as the first approved treatment for perinatal, infantile and juvenile-onset hypophosphatasia (HPP).

HPP is a rare, genetic, progressive, metabolic disease in which patients experience devastating effects on multiple systems of the body, leading to severe disability and life-threatening complications. It is characterized by defective bone mineralization that can lead to rickets and softening of the bones that result in skeletal abnormalities. It can also cause complications such as profound muscle weakness with loss of mobility, seizures, pain, respiratory failure and premature death. Severe forms of HPP affect an estimated one in 100,000 newborns, but milder cases, such as those that appear in childhood or adulthood, may occur more frequently.

“For the first time, the HPP community will have access to an approved therapy for this rare disease,” said Amy G. Egan, M.D., M.P.H., deputy director of the Office of Drug Evaluation III in the FDA’s Center for Drug Evaluation and Research (CDER). “Strensiq’s approval is an example of how the Breakthrough Therapy Designation program can bring new and needed treatments to people with rare diseases.”

Strensiq received a breakthrough therapy designation as it is the first and only treatment for perinatal, infantile and juvenile-onset HPP. The Breakthrough Therapy Designation program encourages the FDA to work collaboratively with sponsors, by providing timely advice and interactive communications, to help expedite the development and review of important new drugs for serious or life-threatening conditions. In addition to designation as a breakthrough therapy, the FDA granted Strensiq orphan drug designation because it treats a disease affecting fewer than 200,000 patients in the United States.

Orphan drug designation provides financial incentives, like clinical trial tax credits, user fee waivers, and eligibility for market exclusivity to promote rare disease drug development. Strensiq was also granted priority review, which is granted to drug applications that show a significant improvement in safety or effectiveness in the treatment of a serious condition. In addition, the manufacturer of Strensiq was granted a rare pediatric disease priority review voucher – a provision intended to encourage development of new drugs and biologics for the prevention and treatment of rare pediatric diseases. Development of this drug was also in part supported by the FDA Orphan Products Grants Program, which provides grants for clinical studies on safety and/or effectiveness of products for use in rare diseases or conditions.

Strensiq is administered via injection three or six times per week. Strensiq works by replacing the enzyme (known as tissue-nonspecific alkaline phosphatase) responsible for formation of an essential mineral in normal bone, which has been shown to improve patient outcomes.

The safety and efficacy of Strensiq were established in 99 patients with perinatal (disease occurs in utero and is evident at birth), infantile- or juvenile-onset HPP who received treatment for up to 6.5 years during four prospective, open-label studies. Study results showed that patients with perinatal- and infantile-onset HPP treated with Strensiq had improved overall survival and survival without the need for a ventilator (ventilator-free survival). Ninety-seven percent of treated patients were alive at one year of age compared to 42 percent of control patients selected from a natural history study group. Similarly, the ventilator-free survival rate at one year of age was 85 percent for treated patients compared to less than 50 percent for the natural history control patients.

Patients with juvenile-onset HPP treated with Strensiq showed improvements in growth and bone health compared to control patients selected from a natural history database. All treated patients had improvement in low weight or short stature or maintained normal height and weight. In comparison, approximately 20 percent of control patients had growth delays over time, with shifts in height or weight from the normal range for children their age to heights and weights well below normal for age. Juvenile-onset patients also showed improvements in bone mineralization, as measured on a scale that evaluates the severity of rickets and other HPP-related skeletal abnormalities based on x-ray images. All treated patients demonstrated substantial healing of rickets on x-rays while some natural history control patients showed increasing signs of rickets over time.

The most common side effects in patients treated with Strensiq include injection site reactions, hypersensitivity reactions (such as difficulty breathing, nausea, dizziness and fever), lipodystrophy (a loss of fat tissue resulting in an indentation in the skin or a thickening of fat tissue resulting in a lump under the skin) at the injection site, and ectopic calcifications of the eyes and kidney.

Strensiq is manufactured by Alexion Pharmaceuticals Inc., based in Cheshire, Connecticut.

STRENSIQ is a formulation of asfotase alfa, which is a soluble glycoproteincomposed of two identical polypeptide chains. Each chain contains 726amino acids with a theoretical mass of 161 kDa. Each chain consists of the catalytic domain of human tissue non-specific alkaline phosphatase (TNSALP), the human immunoglobulin G1 Fc domain and a deca-aspartatepeptide used as a bone targeting domain. The two polypeptide chains are covalently linked by two disulfide bonds.

STRENSIQ is a tissue nonspecific alkaline phosphatase produced byrecombinant DNA technology in a Chinese hamster ovary cell line. TNSALP is a metallo-enzyme that catalyzes the hydrolysis of phosphomonoesters with release of inorganic phosphate and alcohol. Asfotase alfa has a specific activity of 620 to 1250 units/mg. One activity unit is defined as the amount of asfotase alfa required to form 1 μmol of p-nitrophenol from pNPP per minute at 37°C.

STRENSIQ (asfotase alfa) is a sterile, preservative-free, nonpyrogenic, clear, slightly opalescent or opalescent, colorless to slightly yellow, with few small translucent or white particles, aqueous solution for subcutaneous administration. STRENSIQ is supplied in glass single-use vials containing asfotase alfa; dibasic sodium phosphate, heptahydrate; monobasic sodium phosphate, monohydrate; and sodium chloride at a pH between 7.2 and 7.6. Table 5 describes the content of STRENSIQ vial presentations.

Idarucizumab, sold under the brand name Praxbind, is a monoclonal antibody designed for the reversal of anticoagulant effects ofdabigatran.^[1]^[2]

This drug was developed by Boehringer Ingelheim Pharmaceuticals. A large study sponsored by the manufacturer found that idarucizumab effectively reversed anticoagulation by dabigatran within minutes.^[3] It was FDA approved in October 2015.^[4] In the United States the wholesale cost is $3500 US.^[5]

On October 16, 2015, the U. S. Food and Drug Administration granted accelerated approval to idarucizumab (Praxbind Injection, Boehringer Ingelheim Pharmaceuticals, Inc.) for the treatment of patients treated with dabigatran (Pradaxa) when reversal of the anticoagulant effects of dabigatran is needed for emergency surgery/urgent procedures, or in life-threatening or uncontrolled bleeding.

The approval was based on three randomized, placebo-controlled trials enrolling a total of 283 healthy volunteers who received either dabigatran and idarucizumab or dabigatran and placebo. The primary endpoint in healthy volunteer trials was the reduction of unbound dabigatran to undetectable levels after the administration of 5 g idarucizumab. This reduction of dabigatran plasma concentration was observed over the entire 24 hour observation period.

These trials are supported by an ongoing open-label trial in which data from 123 patients receiving dabigatran who had life-threatening or uncontrolled bleeding, or who required emergency surgery/urgent procedures was available for evaluation. This open-label trial continues to enroll and follow patients. The primary endpoint is the reversal of dabigatran’s anticoagulant effect (measured by ecarin clotting time or dilute thrombin time) in the first four hours after administration of 5 g idarucizumab. In these 123 patients, the anticoagulant effect of dabigatran was completely reversed in more than 89% of patients within four hours of receiving idarucizumab. Between 12 and 24 hours after idarucizumab administration, elevated coagulation parameters have been observed in a limited number of patients.

Safety data were evaluated in 224 healthy volunteers who received at least one dose of idarucizumab and 123 patients who received idarucizumab. Headache was the most common adverse event reported in more than 5% of healthy volunteers. Among the 123 patients treated with idarucizumab in the ongoing open-label trial, adverse events reported in more than 5% of patients were hypokalemia, delirium, constipation, pyrexia and pneumonia.

Praxbind is the first approved reversal agent. It is specific for dabigatran.

Continued approval for this indication may be contingent upon the results of completion of the ongoing open-label trial.

The recommended dose for idarucizumab is 5 g (2.5g per vial) administered intravenously as two consecutive 2.5 g infusions or bolus injection by injecting both vials consecutively one after another via syringe.
