Abstract
Amorphous solid dispersions and pharmaceutical compositions of the protein kinase inhibitor dasatinib. The pharmaceutical compositions may be used in methods of treating a proliferative disorder such as cancer, or in methods of delivering dasatinib to patients without regard to whether the patient is concurrently administered a gastric acid-reducing agent, or without regard to whether the patient has an elevated gastric pH. The compositions may be particularly suitable for patients afflicted by achlorhydria or hypochlorhydria, or Helicobacter pylori infection.
Claims30
A pharmaceutical composition comprising an amorphous solid dispersion;
- wherein the amorphous solid dispersion consists essentially of dasatinib, a methacrylic acid and ethyl acrylate copolymer that exhibits pH-dependent solubility, and optionally one or more functional components selected from the group consisting of antioxidants, wetting agents, and solubilizers;
- and
- wherein the dasatinib and the copolymer are present in the amorphous solid dispersion in a w/w ratio of 30:70 to 95:5 (dasatinib:copolymer).
A kit for sale to a user, the kit comprising a pharmaceutical composition and a package insert;
- wherein the pharmaceutical composition comprises an amorphous solid dispersion, the amorphous solid dispersion consisting essentially of dasatinib, a methacrylic acid and ethyl acrylate copolymer that exhibits pH-dependent solubility, and optionally one or more functional components selected from the group consisting of antioxidants, wetting agents, and solubilizers;
- and
- wherein the dasatinib and the copolymer are present in the amorphous solid dispersion in a w/w ratio of 30:70 to 95:5 (dasatinib:copolymer).
