This application is a continuation of U.S. application Ser. No. 12/151,975, filed on May 9, 2008, which is a continuation-in-part of International Application No. PCT/US2007/021216, which designated the United States and was filed on Oct. 3, 2007, published in English, which claims the benefit of U.S. Provisional Application No. 60/848,960, filed on Oct. 3, 2006. The entire teachings of the above applications are incorporated herein by reference.
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTIONParathyroid hormone-related protein (“PTHrP”) is a 139 to 173 amino acid-protein. PTHrP and certain analogs are known to be useful to improve bone mass and quality in the treatment of osteoporosis and related disorders. However, the commercial use of these proteins as pharmaceutical agents requires the development of a formulation that is acceptable in terms of storage stability and ease of preparation.
Furthermore, currently available osteoporosis drugs have limitations on suitable dosage ranges due to the unwanted side-effects, such as hypercalcemia and increased stimulation of bone resorption. These unwanted side-effects and resulting dose limitations reduce the beneficial effects which can be achieved from these drugs. Thus a need exists for compounds which can be administered at a dose which will increase the beneficial effects without an increase in the unwanted side-effects.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTIONThe present invention provides a storage-stable composition containing a parathyroid hormone-related protein (PTHrP) and methods of using PTHrPs and the PTHrP compositions described herein to treat osteoporosis, to increase bone mass or to increase bone quality. The composition is storage stable, in sterile form, and in general may be stored at room temperature for at least several weeks to allow convenient parenteral administration to human patients.
In one embodiment, the present invention provides a storage-stable composition suitable for administration to a subject (e.g., a human). The composition comprises a PTHrP and an effective amount of buffer to maintain the pH of the composition between 2 and 7. In a particular embodiment, the PTHrP is [Glu22,25, Leu23,28,31, Aib29, Lys26,30]hPTHrP(1-34)NH2 (SEQ ID NO.: 2).
In another embodiment, the present invention provides a sealed container containing a storage-stable composition suitable for administration to a subject. The composition comprises PTHrP or an analog thereof and an effective amount of buffer to maintain the pH of the composition between 2 and 7. In a particular embodiment, the PTHrP is [Glu22,25, Leu23,28,31, Aib29, Lys26,30]hPTHrP(1-34)NH2 (SEQ ID NO.: 2).
In another embodiment, the present invention provides a drug delivery device comprising one or more than one single-use container which comprises a storage stable composition comprising PTHrP or an analog thereof and an effective amount of buffer to maintain the pH of the composition between 2 and 7. In a particular embodiment, the PTHrP is [Glu22,25, Leu23,28,31, Aib29, Lys26,30]hPTHrP(1-34)NH2 (SEQ ID NO.:2).
In another embodiment, the present invention provides a drug delivery device comprising one or more than one multi-use container, which comprises a storage stable composition comprising PTHrP or an analog thereof and an effective amount of buffer to maintain the pH of the composition between 2 and 7. In a particular embodiment, the PTHrP is [Glu22,25, Leu23,28,31, Aib29, Lys26,30]hPTHrP(1-34)NH2 (SEQ ID NO.: 2).
In another embodiment the present invention provides a method of treating osteoporosis in a subject in need thereof comprising administering to the subject [Glu22,25, Leu23,28,31, Aib29, Lys26,30]hPTHrP(1-34)NH2 (SEQ ID NO.: 2) in an amount between 40 and 160 μg.
In another embodiment the present invention provides a method of increasing bone mass or increasing bone quality in a subject in need thereof comprising administering to the subject [Glu22,25, Leu23,28,31, Aib29, Lys26,30]hPTHrP(1-34)NH2 (SEQ ID NO.: 2) in an amount between 40 and 160 μg.
The PTHrP compositions of the invention exhibit storage stability in terms of hormone composition and activity. These compositions eliminate the need for chemical stabilizers and other stabilization techniques, such as, lyophilization. Furthermore, these compositions can be administered, in general, in higher dosages than currently available osteoporosis drugs, with the reduction or elimination of unwanted side-effects, such as, hypercalcemia or stimulation of bone resorption. This has the advantage of an increase in beneficial physiological effects due to the increased dosages and can result in a reduction in the length of treatment time.
As used herein “PTHrP” includes analogs and fragments of native human PTHrP. An analog of PTHrP refers to a polypeptide having between about 1 and about 20, between about 1 and about 15, or between about 1 and about 10 art-accepted substitutions, additions or insertions relative to human parathyroid related-hormone protein (hPTHrP), or combinations thereof, not to exceed a total combination of 20 substitutions, additions and insertions. As used herein insertions, include the insertion of an amino acid between two existing amino acids in the peptide chain. As used herein addition means the addition of an amino acid to the N or C terminus of the peptide chain. As used herein substitution means the substitution of an amino acid for an existing amino acid in the peptide chain. As used herein, “art-accepted” substitutions, insertions or additions are those which would maintain or increase and the biological and/or hormonal activity of the peptide and which would not adversely affect the biologically activity of the peptide. Art-accepted includes, for example, substitution of one amino acid with a chemically or biologically similar amino acid, such as a substituting one hydrophobic amino acid for another hydrophobic amino acid. The PTHrPs are described with reference to their variation from the native sequence of human parathyroid hormone-related protein (hPTHrP).
A fragment of PTHrP refers to a polypeptide having a sequence comprising less than the full complement of amino acids found in PTHrP which, however, elicits a similar biological response. The truncated PTHrP fragments may also be analogs as defined above and need not be fully homologous with native PTHrP to elicit a similar biological response.
Typically, the truncated analogs or fragments for use in the methods and compositions of the present invention will be truncated from the C-terminus and will have range from 30 to 40 residues. In particular, hPTHrP(1-34) and analogs with between 1 and 15 substitutions thereof are useful in the methods and compositions of the present invention.

For the purposes of this disclosure, the therapeutic utility of these compounds includes “treating” a human and methods of treatment or treating a subject, human or patient, where treating is understood to include treating, preventing, or ameliorating the symptoms associated with, or reducing the incidence of, reducing the pathogenesis of, facilitating the recovery from or delaying the onset of the syndrome, illness, malady or condition being considered. As it pertains to osteoporosis and the methods of this invention, a method of treatment should also be understood to include a method of preventing osteoporosis. Increasing bone mineral density in a population with osteoporosis can accordingly be deemed a treatment for osteoporosis in that patient population. Likewise, preventing osteoporosis can be accomplished by administering the compositions and compounds of this invention to a patient population that does not yet have osteoporosis. In some embodiments of this invention, the patient population being administered the compositions and/or according to the methods of this invention are at increased risk for osteoporosis or who already have osteoporosis. It should also be appreciated that osteopenia is included with osteoporosis for purposes of this invention.
One of skill in the art appreciates that the several disorders are associated with osteoporosis and so it should be appreciated that the methods and compositions of this invention are useful for treating osteoporosis from the many origins and risk factors from which osteoporosis and osteopenia arise including but not limited to osteogenesis imperfecta, Mafan syndrome, hemochromatosis, hypophosphatasia, glycogen storage diseases, homocysinuria, Ehlers-Danlos syndrome, porhyria, Menke's syndrome, epidermolysis bullosa and Gaucher's disease.

TABLE 3 below shows Methyparaben and Benzyl Alcohol are not suitable preservatives for use with Glu22,25, Leu23,28,31, Aib29, Lys26,30]hPTHrP(1-34)NH2 (SEQ ID NO.: 2), as precipitation and/or inactivity in preservative activity was seen.
Solutions were prepared containing Glu22,25, Leu23,28,31, Aib29, Lys26,30]hPTHrP(1-34)NH2 (SEQ ID NO.: 2) 2 mg/ml, acetate buffer 6 mM and water for injection, with various different preservatives added at concentrations recommended for effective antimicrobial activity. Solutions were prepared at room temperature, by dissolution of the various ingredients in water for injection, with stirring over <30 minutes to ensure complete dissolution, Solutions were filtered throμgh 0.2 micron filter and filled into glass vials, to which a rubber stopper was applied and crimped in place to ensure complete closure.
The solution with methylparaben was unacceptable due to precipitation and inactivity immediately after manufacture of the solution. The solutions were then stored for up to 3 months at 25° C., and up to 4.5 months at 5° C. and the preservative effectiveness test repeated. as described in Example 5.
EXAMPLE 4 Evaluation of Anti-Microbial Preservative Effectiveness of Various Concentrations of Glu22,25, Leu23,28,31, Aib29, Lys26,30]hPTHrP(1-34)NH2 (SEQ ID NO.: 2) Compositions (Stability Study)
The solutions were tested according to European Pharmacopoeia, Chapter 5.1.3 “Efficacité de la conservation anti-microbienne” (Anti-microbial effectiveness test) to prove the effectiveness of the preservative.
TABLE 5 shows Phenol, Chlorocresol and Benzyl Alcohol all produce compliant results immediately after manufacture for both Bacteria and Yeasts/moulds. After 3 and 4.5 months storage, the preservative efficacy is maintained for Phenol and Chlorocresol, for both Bacteria and Yeasts/moulds. However, for Benzyl Alcohol, the efficacy against Bacteria is not compliant, as the data shows insufficient rate of kill against S Aureus (TABLE 5).
EXAMPLE 5 Chemical Stability of Different FormulationsTable 6 details the chemical stability of the formulations described in Example 4.
As can be seen from TABLE 6 and Glu22,25, Leu23,28,31, Aib29, Lys26,30]hPTHrP(1-34)NH2(SEQ ID NO.: 2) solution stability is not significantly influenced by the preservative selected. TABLE 7 details the content of each preservative for the same formulations.
As can be seen from TABLE 7 chlorocresol is the preservative which has the lower stability, with greater loss in preservative content under both 5 and 25° C. storage.
EXAMPLE 6 Clinical Study of Subjects Treated with Glu22,25, Leu23,28,31, Aib29, Lys26,30]hPTHrP(1-34)NH2 (SEQ ID NO.: 2)A randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, multiple-dose design study of Glu22,25, Leu23,28,31, Aib29, Lys26,30]hPTHrP(1-34)NH2 (SEQ ID NO.: 2) was conducted at 2 sites. A total of 39 eligible subjects were sequentially enrolled into 1 of 4 study groups consisting of 10 subjects each, with the exception of Group 2, which had 9 subjects. Within each study group, 8 subjects were randomly assigned to receive SEQ ID NO.: 2 and 2 subjects were randomly assigned to receive placebo (In Group 2 only, 1 subject received placebo). All subjects in the study were judged by the investigator to be healthy, normal volunteers. The test products were Glu22,25, Leu23,28,31, Aib29, Lys26,30]hPTHrP(1-34)NH2 (SEQ ID NO.: 2) (0.1 mg/vial) and Placebo (0.9% sodium chloride injection, USP). All subjects received a single subcutaneous (SC) dose of Glu22,25, Leu23,28,31, Aib29, Lys26,30]hPTHrP(1-34)NH2 (SEQ ID NO.: 2) or placebo for 7 days. The dosages and number of subjects per study group and overall are shown below in TABLE 8.
Pharmacokinetics: PK sampling for plasma SEQ ID NO.: 2 on Days 1 and 7 was performed at the following time points: Predose (0 hour), 0.25, 0.5, 1, 1.5, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 12, and 24 hours postdose. Additionally, predose samples were taken for trough drug analysis on Days 3 to 6. The following PK parameters were computed for Days 1 and 7: AUC(0-t), AUC(0-∞) (Day 1 only), AUC(0-τ), AUCR (Day 1 only), Cmax, Tmax, Tlast, CL/F, Kel, t1/2, and AI (Day 7 only). These parameters were calculated from the overall (24 hours) plasma concentration-versus-time profiles by noncompartmental methods using WinNonlin® Pro Version 5.01 and SAS® Version 8.2. Moreover, the ln-transformed PK parameters Cmax, AUC(0-t), AUC(0-τ), and AUC(0-∞) are presented.
PharmacodynamicsSerum PD samples (total and ionized calcium, phosphorus, PTH[1-84], Procollagen type 1 N-propeptide [P1NP], C-telopeptide type 1 collagen [CTX], and 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D [vitamin D]) were obtained at the following time points:
Serum PD Samplings were Performed at the following Time Points:
Total Calcium and Phosphorus:Predose Days: Days −30 and −2
Days 1 and 7: Predose (0 hour), 0.5, 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 12, and 24 hours postdose
Days 3, 4, 5, 6, and 14
Ionized Calcium:Predose (Day −30)1
Days 1 and 7: Predose (0 hour), 0.5, 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 12, and 24 hours postdose 1Deleted for Groups 2, 3, and 4 per Amendment 3 to the protocol.
PTH(1-84) and 1, 25-dihydroxyvitamin D (Vitamin D):
Days 1 and 7: Predose (0 hour), 0.5, 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 12, and 24 hours postdose
Procollagen Type 1 N-propeptide (P1NP) and C-telopeptide Type 1 Collagen (CTX):Predose (Day −2), Days 3, 8, and 14.
Urine PD Samples (Calcium, Phosphorus, Cyclic AMP [c-AMP], and Creatinine) were Obtained at the Following Time Points:
Day −1/Day 1: −24 to −18 hours, −18 to −12 hours, and -12 hours to 0 hours. Days 1 and 7: 0 to 6 hours, 6 to 12 hours, and 12 to 24 hours.
The following parameters in urine were presented for each of the PD markers using SAS® Version 8.2: Volume (Vol.), concentration (Conc.), amount (Ae), cumulative amount (Cum. Ae), and excretion rates.
Statistical Methods: Pharmacokinetics:Plasma concentration and PK parameters for SEQ ID NO.: 2 were listed by subject and summarized by treatment and day using descriptive statistics (mean, standard deviation [SD], coefficient of variation [CV %], standard error of the mean [SEM], sample size [N], minimum [min], maximum [max], and median). Additionally, geometric means and ln-transformed values were provided for Cmax and AUCs.
Dose proportionality was evaluated for Days 1 and 7 SEQ ID NO.: 2 data using the following power model:
Ln(Y)=β0+β Ln Dose+ε
where Y represents the PK parameters AUC(0-∞), AUC(0-τ), AUC(0-t), and Cmax. Dose proportionality requires that β=1 for dose-dependent parameters.
The model was used to calculate the 95% confidence intervals (CI) for the slope of the ln-transformed PK parameters AUCs and Cmax. Dose proportionally was concluded if the 95% CI for the PK parameters included the value of 1.
For those cases in which dose proportionality could not be concluded within all doses investigated, dose proportionality analysis was performed for the first 3 (by excluding the highest dose) and the last 3 doses (by excluding the lowest dose).
Pharmacokinetic/Pharmacodynamic Analysis:The plots of plasma SEQ ID NO.: 2 and calcium concentrations did not indicate a clear relationship between SEQ ID NO.: 2 and calcium concentrations; therefore, no PK/PD modeling work was performed for this study.
Pharmacodynamics:The data for each PD marker in serum (total and ionized calcium, phosphorus, PTH(1-84), 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D, P1NP, and CTX) and in urine (calcium, phosphorus, c-AMP, and creatinine) following SEQ ID NO.: 2 and placebo doses were listed for each subject and summarized by SEQ ID NO.: 2 dose using descriptive statistics (mean, SD, CV %, SEM, N, min, max, and median).
Pharmacokinetic Results:The arithmetic mean and the SD of plasma SEQ ID NO.: 2 PK parameters following subcutaneous (SC) administration of SEQ ID NO.: 2 doses for Days 1 and 7 are presented Table 9 and Table 10.
Overall, administration of increasing doses of SEQ ID NO.: 2 resulted in increasing rate and extent of exposure to SEQ ID NO.: 2. SEQ ID NO.: 2 was characterized by a rapid absorption following SC doses as mean Cmax was achieved within approximately 1 hour. Moreover, SEQ ID NO.: 2 had a short half-life with mean t1/2 ranging from 1.05 hours to 2.59 hours. Apparent clearance was 28.56 L/hr following the lowest dose (5 μg) and ranged from 82.74 L/hr to 103.9 L/hr following the 20, 40, and 80 μg doses and, with the exception of the lowest dose remained fairly stable with increased doses of SEQ ID NO.: 2.
The results indicated that exposure to SEQ ID NO.: 2 was relatively comparable between Days 1 and 7 following SEQ ID NO.: 2 doses. Mean AI values ranged from 0.844 to 1.12, indicating that drμg accumulation was negligible following multiple dosing of SEQ ID NO.: 2. Moreover, mean PK parameters values of Tmax, t1/2, and CL/F were comparable between Days 1 and 7.
The dose proportionality assessment of exposure to SEQ ID NO.: 2 in plasma resulting from SC doses of SEQ ID NO.: 2 is presented in the following table.
Pharmacodynamic Markers in Serum:
Total calcium concentrations in serum remained within the reference range except for two subjects (placebo) and three subjects receiving the SEQ ID NO.: 2 doses. On Days 1 and 7, following SC administration of 5 to 80 μg SEQ ID NO.: 2 or placebo, mean total calcium levels marginally (±0.6 mg/dL) changed from predose levels. Total serum calcium concentrations following SEQ ID NO.: 2 doses mostly remained above the placebo level.
While in the first two doses, the majority of the ionized calcium measurements including baseline values were out of the reference range, in the second 2 doses, all the measurements were within the reference range.
The 95% CI of the slopes for ln-transformed PK parameters Cmax, AUC(0-t), AUC(0-τ), and AUC(0-∞) indicated that, within the SEQ ID NO.: 2 dose range studied, the increases in PK parameters were dose-proportional (95% CI included the value of 1). While dose proportionality for Cmax and AUC(0-∞) was concluded only following 20, 40, and 80 μg SEQ ID NO.: 2 doses, dose proportionality for AUC(0-τ) and AUC(0-t) was concluded following all SEQ ID NO.: 2 doses investigated.
Mean baseline-adjusted ionized calcium levels slightly increased up to 0.04±0.02 mmol/L following 40 μg SEQ ID NO.: 2 dose on Day 1 and up to 0.05±0.02 mmol/L following 80 μg SEQ ID NO.: 2 dose on Day 7. Like total calcium, mean ionized calcium levels following SEQ ID NO.: 2 doses were generally higher than the mean values following placebo dose.
With the exception of 24 hours on Day 1, and 8 to 12 hours on Day 7, serum phosphorus concentrations following SEQ ID NO.: 2 and placebo doses remained below the predose levels on Days 1 and 7. Also, serum phosphorus concentrations following SEQ ID NO.: 2 doses were below the placebo concentration levels on both days.
Serum PTH (1-84) concentrations following SEQ ID NO.: 2 doses remained below the predose levels and placebo dose during most of the sampling times on both days. Serum PTH (1-84) concentrations following placebo dose consistently stayed above the baseline.
1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D concentrations in serum following SEQ ID NO.: 2 and placebo doses generally remained at predose levels on both Days 1 and 7, except following the 40 and 80 μg SEQ ID NO.: 2 doses which steadily rose above the predose levels after 2 hours postdose on Day 1 and most of the time on Day 7. Serum 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D concentrations following SEQ ID NO.: 2 doses were mostly higher than placebo levels on both days.
P1NP concentrations in serum following SEQ ID NO.: 2 and placebo doses generally stayed near predose levels on Days 3, 8, and 14, except for 80 μg SEQ ID NO.: 2 dose which consistently stayed above baseline (maximum increase was up to 18±12 ng/mL) including Day 14. Mean P1NP serum levels following all doses of SEQ ID NO.: 2 showed some non-significant dose dependent elevation on Day 8. Mean serum CTX concentrations following SEQ ID NO.: 2 and placebo doses generally remained at or around the predose levels except following the 20 μg SEQ ID NO.: 2 dose where the concentrations consistently stayed above predose levels. The maximum increase at 0.15±0.18 ng/mL from baseline was within 1 SD.
Pharmacodynamic Markers in Urine:On Day 1, mean urinary excretion rates of calcium following SEQ ID NO.: 2 doses and placebo subjects were approximately at predose levels. On Day 7, however, while mean urinary excretion rates of calcium following 40 and 80 μg SEQ ID NO.: 2 doses fluctuated at predose levels, those following the 5 and 20 μg SEQ ID NO.: 2 and placebo doses dropped below the predose levels.
Mean urinary excretion rates of phosphorus following SEQ ID NO.: 2 doses fluctuated around the predose levels. Mean phosphorus excretion rates following SEQ ID NO.: 2 doses on the last 2 intervals of Days 1 and 7 were lower than the first interval and at times fell below the predose levels.
Mean urinary excretion rates of c-AMP increased following SEQ ID NO.: 2 doses on both Days 1 and 7 but sharply dropped to predose and at times below the predose levels by the end of the sampling intervals.
Mean urinary excretion rates of creatinine following SEQ ID NO.: 2 and placebo doses fluctuated around the predose levels on Days 1 and 7.
