Description

NEW COMBINATION
Field of the Invention
The present invention provides a new combination of pharmaceutically active substances which is of use in the treatment of respiratory disorders, particularly asthma.
Background to the Invention
Despite recent advances in the awareness of asthma and the introduction of powerful and effective anti-asthma drugs, asthma remains a poorly understood and frequently poorly treated disease. There have been recent advances in the treatment of the disease which result from the recognition that asthma is a chronic inflammatory disease. Therapy is now aimed at both controlling the symptoms and reducing the inflammation. The symptoms include uncontrolled airway inflammation which may lead to mucosal damage and structural changes possibly leading to irreversible narrowing of the airways and fibrosis of the lungs.
The symptoms may be controlled by β2-adrenoreceptor agonists such as salbutamol, salmeterol, terbutaline and formoterol. Formoterol is advantageous because the duration of its effect is long; it has a fast onset time and because it gives few nocturnal wakenings.
Prophylactic therapy is typically provided by steroids such as beclomethasone diproprionate, fluticasone propionate and budesonide. Of these budesonide is advantageous because it may be given in a high inhaled dose (up to 2 mg daily) with very low systemic effects. Long term clinical studies in adults and children have shown that inhaled budesonide has an excellent safety profile.
Description of the Invention
According to the invention there is provided a composition comprising, in an admixture: (a) a first active ingredient which is formoterol, a pharmaceutically acceptable salt or solvate of formoterol, or a solvate of such a salt; and
(b) a second active ingredient which is budesonide; wherein the molar ratio of the first active ingredient to the second active ingredient is from 1 :30 to 1 :36, preferably about 1 :32.5.
According to the invention there is further provided a kit comprising: (i) a vessel containing the first active ingredient; (ii) a vessel containing the second active ingredient; and (iii) instructions for the sequential or separate administration of the first and second active ingredients to a patient in need thereof; wherein the molar ratio of the first active ingredient to the second active ingredient is from 1 :30 to 1 :36, preferably about 1 :32.5.
A patient suffering from a respiratory disorder such as asthma can be treated by administering via inhalation a composition according to the invention. Alternatively such a patient can be treated by administering via inhalation, sequentially or separately: (i) a dose of the first active ingredient; and (ii) a dose of the second active ingredient; wherein the molar ratio of the first active ingredient to the second active ingredient is from 1 :30 to 1 :36, preferably about 1 :32.5.
It has been found that the combination of active ingredients according to the invention is advantageous because it gives a significantly improved anti-inflammatory effect compared to known treatments. International patent publication no. WO 93/11773 discloses a combination of budesonide and formoterol having a wide weight ratio range. The closest example of a combination disclosed in this document to the system of the invention has a weight ratio of formoterol fumarate dihydrate to budesonide of 0.06:1, i.e. a molar ratio of 1:16.3. The combination of active ingredients according to the invention gives surprisingly better results when used to treat patients suffering from asthma compared to this known combination. The first and second active ingredients of the kit can be administered sequentially or separately to treat respiratory disorders. By sequential is meant that the first and second active ingredients are administered one immediately after the other. They still have the desired effect if they are administered separately but less than about 12 hours apart, preferably less than about 2 hours apart, more preferably less than about 30 minutes apart.
Preferably the first active ingredient is administered to provide a daily dose of from 10 to 250nmol (preferably from 15 to 120nmol) and the second active ingredient is administered to provide a daily dose of from 0.1 to lOμmol (preferably 0.2 to 5μmol) or from 39 to 4300μg of the second active ingredient (preferably from 86 to 2150μg), subject to the molar ratio of the first active ingredient to the second active ingredient being within the range of from 1:30 to 1 :36.
Suitable physiologically acceptable salts of formoterol include acid addition salts derived from inorganic and organic acids, for example the chloride, bromide, sulphate, phosphate, maleate, fumarate, tartrate, citrate, benzoate, 4-methoxybenzoate, 2- or 4-hydroxybenzoate, 4-chlorobenzoate, p-toluenesulphonate, methanesulphonate, ascorbate, acetate, succinate, lactate, glutarate, gluconate, tricarballylate, hydroxynaphthalene-carboxylate or oleate salts or solvates thereof. The first active ingredient is preferably formoterol fumarate, especially the dihydrate.
When the first active ingredient is formoterol fumarate dihydrate, the preferred daily dose of the first active ingredient is from 4 to lOOμg, more preferably from 6 to 50μg (subject to the molar ratio of the first active ingredient to the second active ingredient being within the range of from 1:30 to 1:36).
Most preferably the composition or kit of the invention comprises 6μg of formoterol fumarate dihydrate and 200μg of budesonide, or 4.5μg of formoterol fumarate dihydrate and 160μg of budesonide, either of which is administered up to four times a day. Alternatively the composition or kit of the invention comprises 12μg of formoterol fumarate dihydrate and 400μg of budesonide, or 9μg of formoterol fumarate dihydrate and 320μg of budesonide, either of which is administered once or twice a day.
Preferably the active ingredient(s) are used in admixture with one or more pharmaceutically acceptable additives, diluents or carriers, preferably in an amount of from 50μg to 25mg per dose, more preferably in an amount of from 50μg to lOmg, most preferably in an amount of from 100 to 2000μg. Examples of suitable diluents or carriers include lactose, dextran, mannitol and glucose. Preferably lactose is used, especially as the monohydrate.
It should be understood that where reference is made to the amounts of each active ingredient that these are metered amounts. When the active ingredients are administered, the amount of each ingredient inhaled by the patient can differ from the metered amount, e.g. due to retention of the active ingredient in the inhalation device. Furthermore when the active ingredients are formulated separately, the administered amount of each is not necessarily reduced proportionately. Thus the administered ratio of the active ingredients could differ from the metered ratio. Preferably the administered ratio is within the metered ratio specified above.
One or more of the active ingredients used in the invention is preferably in the form of a dry powder, more preferably a finely divided, e.g. a micronised, dry powder, e.g. having a mass median diameter of less than lOμm, for example from 1 to 5μm, most preferably an agglomerated micronised dry powder. As an alternative to agglomeration the finely divided active ingredients may be in the form of an ordered mixture with the one or more pharmaceutically acceptable additives, diluents or carriers. An ordered mixture is the combination of finely divided active ingredient with coarse particles of pharmaceutically acceptable additive, diluent or carrier. The ingredients used in the invention can be obtained in these preferred forms using methods known to those of skill in the art. According to the invention there is further provided the use of a composition or kit according to the invention in the manufacture of a medicament for use in the treatment of a respiratory disorder, e.g. asthma. The invention also provides the use of budesonide or of formoterol in the manufacture of a kit or of a composition according to the invention for use in the treatment of a respiratory disorder, e.g. asthma.
Administration may be by inhalation orally or intranasally. The ingredients are preferably adapted to be administered from a dry powder inhaler, a pressurised metered dose inhaler, or a nebuliser.
When the ingredients of the composition or kit are adapted to be administered from a pressurised inhaler, they are preferably in micronised form. They are dissolved or, preferably, suspended in a liquid propellant mixture. The propellants which can be used include chlorofluorocarbons, hydrocarbons or hydrofluoroalkanes. Especially preferred propellants are PI 34a (tetrafluoroethane) and P227 (heptafluoropropane) each of which may be used alone or in combination. They are optionally used in combination with one or more other propellants and/or one or more surfactants and/or one or more other excipients, for example ethanol, a lubricant, an anti-oxidant and/or a stabilising agent.
When the ingredients of the composition or kit of the invention are adapted to be administered via a nebuliser they may be in the form of a nebulised aqueous suspension or solution, with or without a suitable pH or tonicity adjustment, either as a unit dose or multidose device.
The composition or kit may optionally be administered as divided doses from 1 to 4, and preferably once or twice a day.
