`(57) Abstract: Dosage forms and methods for providing a substantially ascending rate of release of paliperidone are provided.
`The sustained release dosage forms provide therapeutically effective average steady—state plasma paliperidone concentrations when
`administered once per day. This oncerarday dosing regimen results in only one peak plasma paliperidone concentration occurrence
`in each 24 hour period. In addition, the peak plasma paliperidone concentration occurs at a later time following dose administration
`and exhibits a lesser magnitude than the peak plasma paliperidone concentration that occurs following administration of paliperidone
`in an immediate—release dosage form.

`
`METHODS AND DOSAGE FORMS FOR CONTROLLED DELIVERY OF
`
`PALIPERIDONE
`
`FIELD OF THE INVENTION
`
`[0001]
`
`This invention pertains to the controlled delivery of pharmaceutical
`
`agents and methods, dosage forms and devices. ,In particular, the invention is
`
`directed to methods, dosage forms and devices for the controlled delivery of
`
`paliperidone, with reduced degradation of the active agent.
`
`1O
`
`BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
`
`[0002]
`
`The art is replete with descriptions of oral dosage forms for the
`
`controlled release of pharmaceutical agents. While a variety of sustained '
`
`15
`
`release dosage forms for delivering certain drugs exhibiting short half—life may
`
`be known, not every drug may be suitably delivered from those dosage forms
`
`because of solubility, metabolic processes, absorption and other physical,
`
`chemical and physiological parameters that may be unique to the drug and the
`
`mode of delivery. Examples of such drugs that are not likely candidates for
`
`20
`
`controlled release dosage forms are those exhibiting a long half—life such as
`
`paliperidone.
`
`It has also been found that paliperidone degrades into notable
`
`amounts of impurities. The major degradation products include C-9 ketone, N—
`
`oxides, and various dimmers of its degradants.
`
`[0003]
`
`Paliperidone is more fully described in US Pat. No. 4,804,663. The
`
`25
`
`paliperidone compound differs from risperidone and related prior art
`
`compounds described in US Pat. Nos. 4,352,811 and 4,458,076 by its
`
`substitution on the 1-position of the piperidine moiety.
`
`[0004]
`
`Paliperidone is practically insoluble in water, freely soluble in
`
`methylene chloride and soluble in methanol and 0.1 N hydrochloric acid.
`
`30
`
`Additionally, since paliperidone has a long half-life of about one day, it is not a
`
`typical candidate for extended delivery. However, side effects such as anxiety,
`
`somnolence, dizziness, constipation, extrapyramidal symptoms, may be related
`
`Mylan V. Janssen (IPR2020-00440) EX. 1019 Part 2, p. 320

`
`
`
`WO 2004/010981
`
`PCT/US2003/023433
`
`to high blood plasma concentration levels restricting the ability to administer a
`
`single daily immediate release dose.
`
`[0005]
`
`Traditional stability improvements for pharmaceutical agents were
`
`explored including use of antioxidants (increased levels of BHT), and
`
`incorporation of chelating agents. These traditional methods for reducing
`
`degradation proved insufficient.
`
`[0006]
`
`It is expected that the side effects are likely a result of either rate of
`
`rise and/or actual drug blood plasma concentrations exceeding a threshold
`
`maximum tolerable concentration (MTC). However, in order to obtain a
`
`1O
`
`therapeutic effect, concentrations need to be sustained above a minimum
`
`pharmacodynamic concentration (MPG).
`
`[0007]
`
`Another aspect of delivery of paliperidone is that administration may
`
`require low drug loading in the dosage form. Dosage forms may need to
`
`contain drug in the range of 5% to 20% of the overall weight of the dosage
`
`15
`
`form. The low drug loading requirement presents problems in formulating
`
`compositions and fabricating dosage forms that are suitable for oral
`
`administration that deliver at the desired rate of release for an extended period
`
`of time.
`
`[0008]
`
`Prior art osmotic dosage forms mention delivery of risperidone from
`
`20
`
`a liquid gelatin capsule without mention of delivery of paliperidone or of a
`
`preferred rate of delivery or identification of a solid capsule dosage form.
`
`Published patent application by ALZA Corporation, WO 00/35419.
`
`[0009]
`
`Other art discloses delivery of risperidone through transdermal
`
`methods with patches without claiming any rate of release or desired plasma
`
`25
`
`concentration profile. Published patent application by Janssen, WO 96/31201.
`
`Furthermore, this art does not identify delivery of paliperidone much less
`
`delivery of paliperidone through oral controlled release delivery.
`
`[00010] There is also art disclosing delivery of risperidone and/or
`
`paliperidone through injectable implants for long term, multi-day, delivery. This
`
`30
`
`art includes the published patent application by Alkermes WO 01/34120, and
`
`US Pat. Nos. 5,654,008; 5650,173; 5,770,231; 6,077,843; 6,368,632;
`
`6,110,923; 5,965,168; and 5,692,477 by Alkermes. US patents claiming
`
`injectable dosage forms to provide almost zero order delivery include US Pat.

`

`
`Nos. 5,871,778 and 5,656,299 by Yoishitomi Pharmaceutical Industries. This
`
`art does not disclose preferred release rates and does not teach or motivate
`
`toward an ascending rate of release, much less such release through an oral
`
`delivery system.
`
`[00011] Prior art for oral delivery does not address delivery of extended,
`
`controlled release paliperidone.
`
`[00012] Oral controlled release dosage forms include, US Pat. No. 5,536,507
`
`which describes a three component pharmaceutical formulation that utilizes,
`
`inter alia, a pH sensitive polymer and optionally an osmotic agent that will swell
`
`10
`
`in the higher pH regions of the lower portion of the small intestine and the large
`
`intestine to release drug in those environments. Additional components of the
`
`dosage form include a delayed release coating and an enteric coating to
`
`provide a dosage form that releases very little, if any, of the drug in the
`
`stomach, a relatively minimal amount in the small intestine and reportedly
`
`15
`
`about 85% or more in the large intestine. Such a dosage form provides for a
`
`widely varying time-release of drug after administration that may not begin for
`
`1-3 hours until the dosage form has passed from the stomach and an
`
`additional 3 hours or more for the dosage form to pass into the large intestine.
`
`[00013] Exemplary sustained release paliperidone dosage forms, methods of
`
`20
`
`preparing such dosage forms and methods of using such dosage forms
`
`described herein are directed to osmotic dosage forms for oral administration.
`
`[00014]
`
`In addition to osmotic systems as described herein, however, there
`
`are many other approaches to achieving sustained release of drugs from oral
`
`dosage forms known in the art. These different approaches include, for
`
`25
`
`example, diffusion systems such as reservoir devices and matrix devices,
`
`dissolution systems such as encapsulated dissolution systems (including, for
`
`example, “tiny time pills") and matrix dissolution systems, combination
`
`diffusion/dissolution systems and ion-exchange resin systems as described in
`
`Remington’s Pharmaceutical Sciences, 1990 ed., pp. 1682-1685.
`
`30
`
`Paliperidone dosage forms that operate in accord with these other approaches
`
`are encompassed by the scope of the disclosure herein to the extent that the
`
`drug release characteristics and/or the blood plasma paliperidone

`
`concentration characteristics as recited herein and in the claims describe those
`
`dosage forms either literally or equivalently.
`
`[00015] Osmotic dosage forms in general utilize osmotic pressure to
`
`generate a driving force for imbibing fluid into a compartment formed, at least
`
`in part, by a semipermeable membrane that permits free diffusion of fluid but
`
`not drug or osmotic agent(s), if present. A significant advantage to osmotic
`
`systems is that operation is pH-independent and thus continues at the
`
`osmotically determined rate throughout an extended time period even as the
`
`dosage form transits the gastrointestinal tract and encounters differing
`
`1O
`
`microenvlronments having significantly different pH values. A review of such
`
`dosage forms is found in Santus and Baker, “Osmotic drug delivery: a review of
`
`the patent literature,” Journal of Controlled Release 35 (1995) 1-21,
`
`incorporated in its entirety by reference herein.
`
`In particular, the following US.

`Patents, owned by the assignee of the present application, ALZA Corporation,

`
`In certain

`
`[00018] While dosage forms delivering the drug composition to the
`environment of use in the dry state may provide suitable release of drug at
`
`various drug loadings over a prolonged period of time, the exposure of the drug
`layer to the environment of use may result in agitation-dependent release of
`drug that in some circumstances is difficult to control. Accordingly, it may be
`advantageous to release the drug as a slurry or suspension that may be
`metered by control of rate of expansion of the push layer and the size of the
`
`1O
`
`exit orifice in the dosage form as in accordance with this invention.

`
`Prior to this invention, paliperidone’s related compound, risperidone,
`

`

`
`[00025] The Risperdal® mode of therapy, however, continues to lead to an
`
`initial high dose of risperidone in the blood plasma after administration,
`
`followed by a decreased level of risperidone in the blood plasma. Moreover,
`
`this peak and trough occurs twice to three times during a 24—hour period due to
`
`the multiple dosing regimen. The concentration differences in dosing patterns
`
`20
`
`are related to the presence and absence of administered drug, which is a

`
`[00031] There remains a need for effective dosing methods, dosage forms
`
`and devices that will permit the controlled release of paliperidone and related
`
`compounds over a prolonged period of time at a substantially ascending rate of
`
`15
`
`release to reduce the amount of the active agent that the patient is exposed to
`
`at any particular time and to increase the time between dosing, preferably to
`
`obtain a once-a-day dosing regimen while reducing associated side effects.
`

`
`SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
`
`[00032] The present invention is designed for once—a-day administration of
`
`an oral dosage form to deliver paliperidone for more than about 22 hours
`
`utilizing a capsule-shaped tablet. This approximately 22 hours of release is at
`
`a substantially ascending rate of release from the core with 90% delivery
`
`25
`
`occurring at about 20 hours. This novel profile provides therapeutic delivery
`
`above the MPC while keeping the plasma levels below the MTC and low
`
`enough such that side effects will be reduced and the development of
`
`tolerance is increased. This delivery profile provides 24 hours of efficacy
`
`without high plasma levels.
`
`30
`
`[00033] The present invention provides for a substantially ascending release
`
`rate.
`
`It has been surprisingly discovered that the instant profile best provides
`
`efficacious therapy over 24 hours while potentially reducing negative side
`
`effects associated with administration of the drug.

`
`PCT/U52003/023433
`
`[00034] The present invention utilizes a slow, but substantially ascending,
`rate of release when the dosage form is likely to be in the colonic region of the
`
`gastrointestinal (GI) tract. The profile is not previously used to deliver any
`drug, but is designed to increase the therapeutic index of paliperidone.
`
`It has been surprisingly found that the described ascending release
`[00035]
`rate can provide for a substantially ascending blood plasma concentration of
`
`drug with peak concentration occurring later than about 16 hours after
`administration. This ascending blood plasma concentration reduces the
`
`intraday tolerance effect developed.
`
`1O
`
`[00036]
`
`It has been further surprisingly discovered that the addition of an
`
`osmagent, salt, into the first drug layer, but not in the second drug layer,
`
`impacts the delivery profile such that a substantially ascending release rate
`
`results.
`
`It has been further surprisingly discovered that maintaining the ratio
`[00037]
`of the concentration of drug in the first drug layer and the concentration of drug
`
`15
`
`in the second drug layer impacts the delivery profile such that the desired
`
`substantially ascending rate of release results.
`
`[00038] The dosage form utilizes a semipermeable membrane surrounding a
`three-layer core:
`the first layer is referred to as a first drug layer and contains
`
`20
`
`low amounts of drug and an osmotic agent such as salt; the middle layer
`
`referred to as the second drug layer contains higher amounts of drug,
`
`excipients and no salt; and the third layer referred to as the push layer contains
`
`osmotic agents and no drug. At least one orifice is drilled through the
`
`membrane on the first drug layer end of the capsule-shaped tablet.
`
`25
`
`[00039]
`
`In the aqueous environment of the GI tract, water is imbibed through
`
`the semipermeable membrane at a controlled rate determined by the
`
`properties of the membrane and the osmolality of the core consitituents. This
`
`causes the push layer to swell and the drug layers to hydrate and form viscous,
`
`but deformable, masses. The push layer expands against the second drug
`
`30
`
`layer, which in turn pushes against the hydrated first drug layer. The first drug
`layer, followed by the second drug layer, exits the system through the orifice(s)
`in the membrane at the same rate that water is imbibed into the core. The

`
`biologically inert components of the tablet remain intact during the GI transit
`
`and are eliminated as a shell along with insoluble core components.
`
`[00040] The dosage form incorporating the present invention is designed to
`
`be a once-a-day dosage form that is therapeutically effective while providing
`
`increased stability.
`
`[00041]
`
`In still another aspect, the invention comprises a dosage form
`
`comprising a membrane defining a compartment, the membrane surrounding
`
`an inner protective subcoat, at least one exit orifice formed or formable therein
`
`and at least a portion of the membrane being semipermeable; an expandable
`
`1O
`
`layer located within the compartment remote from the exit orifice and in fluid
`
`communication with the semipermeable portion of the membrane; a first drug
`
`layer located adjacent the exit orifice; and a second drug layer located within
`
`
