Description:
INTRAVENOUS FORMULATIONS OF RK-33 FIELD OF THE INVENTION   [0001] The present disclosure provides a liquid formulation comprising: (a) RK-33, (b) cholic acid or derivative thereof, (c) a water-soluble polyvinyl polymer, and (d) water. The disclosure also provides a method of making a liquid formulation comprising RK-33. The disclosure further provides a method of treating cancer in a subject in need thereof, the method comprising (a) diluting the formulation of the present disclosure to form a diluted formulation, and (b) intravenously administering to the subject the diluted formulation. BACKGROUND [0002] The DEAD-box helicase family member DDX3, which is involved in a number of cellular processes such as transcription, RNA splicing, mRNA export, and translation initiation, is known to be linked to the progression of cancer when overexpressed. Recent advancements in cancer research and treatment provide novel fused diimidazodiazepine compounds that bind to and inhibit DDX3, which results in the activation of cell death pathways, inhibition of the Wnt‐ signaling pathway, and abrogation of non‐homologous end‐joining activity. RK-33 is a member of the class of fused diimidazodiazepine compounds that produced effective results in inhibiting the growth of tumor cells in multiple cancers including sarcoma, breast, prostate, colorectal, lung, and medulloblastoma without affecting healthy and “normal” cells. [0003] A common method of delivering chemotherapy or anti-cancer drugs to a cancer patient includes administering the drug through a needle or tube inserted directly into a vein. There are several advantages to intravenous administration such as increased drug availability with minimal delay, the ability to control rate of administration and the direct administration of drugs that are otherwise poorly absorbed by the gastrointestinal tract. However, due to the difficulty in formulation RK-33, no intravenous formulation was previously known.     SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION [0004] The present disclosure is directed to a liquid formulation comprising, (a) RK-33, (b) cholic acid or derivative thereof, (c) a water-soluble polyvinyl polymer, and (d) water. [0005] In some embodiments, the formulation comprises about 1 mg/mL to about 30 mg/mL of RK-33. In some embodiments, the formulation comprises about 15 mg/mL to about 25 mg/mL of RK-33.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION [0020] The present disclosure relates to a liquid formulation comprising the compound RK-33. Previous attempts to deliver RK-33 through intravenous administration were challenging due to issues with intrinsic solubility of the compound in solvents. In some embodiments, the present disclosure provides a liquid formulation that is stable, both chemically and physically. In some embodiments, the disclosure provides a stable aqueous suspension that is suitable for dilution and subsequent intravenous administration. In some embodiments, the disclosure provides a liquid formulation comprising, (a) RK-33 as represented by Formula I (b) cholic acid or derivative the reof, (c) a water-soluble polyvinyl polymer, and (d) water. [0021] Unless otherwise defined herein, scientific and technical terms used in the present disclosure shall have the meanings that are commonly understood by one of ordinary skill in the art. Further, unless otherwise required by context, singular terms shall include pluralities and plural terms shall include the singular. As used herein, “a” or “an” may mean one or more. As used herein, when used in conjunction with the word “comprising,” the words “a” or “an” may mean one or more than one. As used herein, “another” or “a further” may mean at least a second or more.     [0022] Throughout this application, the term “about” is used to indicate that a value includes the inherent variation of error for the method/device being employed to determine the value, or the variation that exists among the study subjects. Typically, the term “about” is meant to encompass approximately or less than 1%, 2%, 3%, 4%, 5%, 6%, 7%, 8%, 9%, 10%, 11%, 12%, 13%, 14%, 15%, 16%, 17%, 18%, 19% or 20% variability, depending on the situation. [0023] The use of the term “or” in the claims is used to mean “and/or”, unless explicitly indicated to refer only to alternatives or the alternatives are mutually exclusive, although the disclosure supports a definition that refers to only alternatives and “and/or.” [0024] As used herein, the terms “comprising” (and any variant or form of comprising, such as “comprise” and “comprises”), “having” (and any variant or form of having, such as “have” and “has”), “including” (and any variant or form of including, such as “includes” and “include”) or “containing” (and any variant or form of containing, such as “contains” and “contain”) are inclusive or open-ended and do not exclude additional, unrecited, elements or method steps. It is contemplated that any embodiment discussed in this specification can be implemented with respect to any formulation, methods, and/or kits of the present disclosure. [0025] The use of the term “for example” and its corresponding abbreviation “e.g.,” (whether italicized or not) means that the specific terms recited are representative examples and embodiments of the disclosure that are not intended to be limited to the specific examples referenced or cited unless explicitly stated otherwise. [0026] As used herein, “between” is a range inclusive of the ends of the range. For example, a number between x and y explicitly includes the numbers x and y, and any numbers that fall within x and y. [0027] The present disclosure provides liquid pharmaceutical formulations comprising RK-33. RK-33 is also described in WO 2016/0149273, incorporated by references herein in its entirety, and is represented by Formula I:     [0028] As used herein, the term RK-33 includes its salts and solvates thereof. It was previously shown that targeting DDX3 by RK-33 promotes cell death. See, e.g., Oncogene, 27(28): 3912-3922 (2008), incorporated by reference herein in its entirety. DDX3 is known to be overexpressed in breast and lung cancers. The role of DDX3 in breast and lung cancers can in part be explained by its involvement in Wnt signaling. See, e.g., Science 2013; 339(6126): 1436-1441, incorporated by reference herein in its entirety. A majority of colorectal cancers are driven by mutations in the Wnt-signaling pathway, and it was previously shown that DDX3 is overexpressed in 39% of colorectal cancers. See, e.g., WO 2016/0149273. Applicant previously demonstrated that inhibition of DDX3 results in reduced Wnt signaling and a Gl arrest, making DDX3 an attractive therapeutic target in these cancers. Thus, in some embodiments, the formulations described herein are useful for the inhibition of DDX3. In some embodiments, the formulations described herein can be used to reduce Wnt signaling and/or GI arrest. [0029] Various concentrations of RK-33 can be present in the formulations described herein. In some embodiments, the formulation is diluted in a separate solution, e.g., an isotonic solution, prior to use. For example, in some embodiments, the formulation comprising RK-33 is diluted into an isotonic solution such as a saline solution, prior to administration to a subject. In some embodiments, the formulation comprises about 1 mg/mL to about 30 mg/mL, about 2 mg/mL to about 28 mg/mL, about 3 mg/mL to about 26 mg/mL, about 4 mg/mL to about 27 mg/mL, about 5 mg/mL to about 25 mg/mL, about 6 mg/mL to about 23 mg/mL, about 7 mg/mL to about 22 mg/mL, about 8 mg/mL to about 21 mg/mL, or about 10 mg/mL to about 20 mg/mL RK-33. In some embodiments, the formulation comprises about 10 mg/mL to about 30 mg/mL, about 15 mg/mL to about 25 mg/mL, or about 18 mg/mL to about 22 mg/mL RK-33. In some embodiments, the formulation comprises about 20 mg/mL RK-33. The disclosure provides for     formulations suitable for liquid formulations comprising RK-33, wherein the RK-33 does not precipitate, and wherein aggregation of any RK-33 particles is minimized. The skilled artisan will appreciate that the concentrations described here can refer to formulations suitable for dilution, and thus it is within the scope and intent of the disclosure to encompass more diluted concentrations of RK-33.

EXAMPLES Example 1 – Analysis of solubility of RK-33 in various solvents [0079] The degree of solubility of RK-33 in various solubilizers were tested. RK-33 was added to the solubilizer and observed for formation of homogenous molecular dispersion and physical appearance. The qualitative solubility and physical appearances of the solutions are shown in Table 1. Table 1 Solvent Qualitative Observation     Example 2 - Development of stable RK-33 liquid formulations     [0080] RK-33 formulations comprising of various combinations of solvents and polymers were prepared and analyzed for color, visual precipitation and clarity. Results as observed are outlined in Table 2 ,Table 3 and Table 4. Table 2         Table 3     Table 4     [0081] As shown above, there was significant precipitation and discoloration observed in the initial intravenous formulations comprising RK-33 with the listed polymers and solvents. [0082] Formulations comprising of various combinations of solvents and polymers were prepared with an intralipid emulsion used to provide calories to patients who receive an injection into the vein. The prepared formulations were then analyzed for color, visual precipitation and clarity. Results as observed are outlined in Table 5. Table 5 Trial     [0083] Each of the formulations in Table 5 comprising intralipid precipitated. [0084] Formulations comprising of various combinations of solvents and polymers, including Captisol ® , were prepared. The formulations were analyzed for color, visual precipitation and clarity. Results are presented in Table 6. Table 6     [0085] RK-33 formulation (2.5 mg/mL) was achieved with  50% PEG 200 and 4% HPßCD. Cyclodextrins were not useful to achieve higher solution concentrations of RK-33. Even solvents such as glycerol and benzyl alcohol did not help in achieving a formulation comprising RK-33 of at least 2.5 mg/mL. [0086] Various additional pharmaceutical formulations were tested in an attempt to increase the concentration of RK-33 to 20% (w/w) as outlined in Table 7. Table 7 F l i RK P P P 2 i P l i [0087] No visible precipitates were observed for any of Formulations T38-T43. The particle size distribution (PSD) of Formulations T41, T42 and T43 after periods of milling are shown in Table 8. Table 8 Formulation Milling PSD     [0088] As noted in Table 8, Formulations T41 and T42 were milled for 30 minutes at 3000 RPM. Following milling, particle aggregation of Formulations T41 and T42 was observed under the microscope and in particle size distribution (PSD). Initial observations in preparation of samples included an increase in viscosity and difficulty in extracting the suspension from the formulations. The particle aggregation of Formulations T41 and T42 as observed under the microscope can be seen in FIG.1A and FIG.1B, respectively. [0089] Formulation T43 was first milled at 3000 RPM for 30 minutes and then analyzed for particle aggregation. Particle aggregation was observed. Formulation T43 was further milled for another 15 minutes at the same speed. No reduction in particle aggregation was observed by the additional milling. The particle aggregation of T4330 minutes milling and T4345 minutes milling as observed under the microscope can be seen in FIG.2A and FIG.2B, respectively. [0090] Formulation T40 (20%w/w RK-33, 0.4%w/w Sodium deoxycholate, 4%w/w PVP K12) was milled for 30 minutes using a high energy benchtop mill, and then stored at ambient or in 5°C conditions for up to two weeks. To prepare a sample of Formulation T40 for particle size determination measurements, the formulation was diluted with deionized water and then added dropwise to a fraction cell containing water as a dispersant. The particle size distributions of Formulation T40 stored at either ambient temperature or at 5°C for T 0 , T 1 = 1 week or T 2 = 2weeks was determined. Results are outlined in Table 9. Table 9 Formulation T40     [0091] There was no significant difference between the particle size distribution aggregation of the Formulation T40 in storage condition 5℃ at T 0 and at T 2 at the end of the two-week study. As shown in FIG. 3 was evenly dispersed with little to no particle aggregation, although some small needle like particles were observed in Formulation T40 in optical microscopy. Based on these results, Formulation T40 is considered to be the most stable intravenous suspension formulation of RK-33.
