Definitions
- the subject matter described herein relates to transdermal delivery of a therapeutic agent from a system designed to provide pharmacokinetics bioequivalent to oral delivery of a similar dose of the therapeutic agent.
- Transdermal delivery of a therapeutically active agent through the skin provides a means for a sustained, constant plasma level of the agent. It differs from conventional therapy via oral administration in that blood levels remain constant throughout the period during which the transdermal system is on the skin, providing a blood concentration of drug without the peaks and troughs of drug concentration seen in oral delivery. Transdermal delivery is utilized for drugs with a short half-life and/or when there is a significant first-pass effect of the liver that can prematurely metabolizes the drug than long half drugs.
- Oral administration of drugs with a long elimination half-life can achieve a relatively constant blood level of drugs with the minimal peaks and valleys within the therapeutic range at the steady state for long half-life drugs.
- Oral administration of a long half-life drug brings about accumulation of the drug in the blood over time until it reaches the steady state blood level in the therapeutic range.

- the free base of memantine has a water solubility of 0.9 mg/mL.
- the free base of donepezil has a water solubility of 2.9 mg/L. Both are considered poorly water soluble.
- the method is based on a finding that transdermal delivery system for drugs with a long blood elimination half life can be designed to provide a pharmacokinetic (PK) profile that is bioequivalent to oral administration of the same drug, at about the same dose.
- Standard PK parameters routinely used to assess the behavior of a dosage form in vivo include C max (peak concentration of drug in blood plasma), T max (the time at which peak drug concentration is achieved) and AUC (the area under the plasma concentration vs time curve). Methods for determining and assessing these parameters are well known in the art.

- the transdermal delivery system exhibits a PK profile having one or both of the features (1) and (2).
- bioequivalence In the field of pharmaceutical development the term “bioequivalence” will be readily understood and appreciated by the person skilled in the art. Various regulatory authorities have strict criteria and tests for assessing whether or not two drug products are bioequivalent. These criteria and tests are commonly used throughout the pharmaceutical industry and the assessment of bioequivalence is recognized as a standard form of activity in drug development programs where the characteristics and performance of one product are being compared to those of another product. Indeed in seeking approval to market certain types of products (e.g. those evaluated under the FDA's “Abbreviated New Drug Application” procedure), it is a requirement that the follow-on product be shown to be bioequivalent to a reference product.
- the method encompasses providing and/or administering a transdermal delivery system comprising a therapeutic agent with a long blood circulation half-life that when transdermally administered to a subject in a fasted state is bioequivalent to administration of the agent orally or intravenously to a subject also in a fasted state, in particular as defined by C max and AUC guidelines given by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration and the corresponding European regulatory agency (EMEA). Under U.S. FDA and Europe's EMEA guidelines, two products or methods are bioequivalent if the 90% Confidence Intervals (CI) for AUC and C max are between 0.80 to 1.25 (T max measurements are not relevant to bioequivalence for regulatory purposes). Europe's EMEA previously used a different standard, which required a 90% CI for AUC between 0.80 to 1.25 and a 90% CI for C max between 0.70 to 1.43. Methods for determining C max and AUC are well known in the art.

Abstract
Description
- This application is a continuation of U.S. application Ser. No. 15/660,982, filed Jul. 26, 2017, pending, which claims the benefit of U.S. Provisional Application No. 62/504,408, filed May 10, 2017; U.S. Provisional Application No. 62/504,391, filed May 10, 2017; U.S. Provisional Application No. 62/457,794, filed Feb. 10, 2017; U.S. Provisional Application No. 62/423,133, filed Nov. 16, 2016; U.S. Provisional Application No. 62/367,542, filed Jul. 27, 2016; and U.S. Provisional Application No. 62/367,502, filed Jul. 27, 2016, each incorporated herein by reference in its entirety.
- The subject matter described herein relates to transdermal delivery of a therapeutic agent from a system designed to provide pharmacokinetics bioequivalent to oral delivery of a similar dose of the therapeutic agent.
- Transdermal delivery of a therapeutically active agent through the skin provides a means for a sustained, constant plasma level of the agent. It differs from conventional therapy via oral administration in that blood levels remain constant throughout the period during which the transdermal system is on the skin, providing a blood concentration of drug without the peaks and troughs of drug concentration seen in oral delivery. Transdermal delivery is utilized for drugs with a short half-life and/or when there is a significant first-pass effect of the liver that can prematurely metabolizes the drug than long half drugs.
- Oral administration of drugs with a long elimination half-life can achieve a relatively constant blood level of drugs with the minimal peaks and valleys within the therapeutic range at the steady state for long half-life drugs. Oral administration of a long half-life drug (not less than 48 hours) brings about accumulation of the drug in the blood over time until it reaches the steady state blood level in the therapeutic range.
- It would be desirable to take advantage of the long half-lives of drugs in designing a transdermal delivery system which is therapeutically equivalent to the oral dosage route with respect to the pharmacokinetic parameters of area under the curve (AUC) and maximum blood concentration (Cmax). The achievement of bioequivalence can reduce extensive non-clinical and clinical test costs.
- The foregoing examples of the related art and limitations related therewith are intended to be illustrative and not exclusive. Other limitations of the related art will become apparent to those of skill in the art upon a reading of the specification and a study of the drawings.
- The following aspects and embodiments thereof described and illustrated below are meant to be exemplary and illustrative, not limiting in scope.
- In one aspect, a method for delivering a therapeutic agent to a subject is provided. The method comprises providing a transdermal delivery system comprised of a therapeutic agent and a reservoir comprising the therapeutic agent, wherein the therapeutic agent (i) has a half-life in the blood when delivered orally of greater than about 48 hours and (ii) is for the treatment of a chronic condition, and administering or instructing to administer the transdermal delivery system to the skin of a subject.

- In one embodiment, the methods relate to therapy of CNS disorders or of autoimmune disorders in a subject in need thereof by contacting a tissue of the subject with one or more transdermal delivery systems. The terms “transdermal” and “topical” are used herein in the broadest sense to refer to administration of an active agent, e.g., memantine or donepezil or fingolimod, to the skin surface or mucosal membrane of an animal, including humans, so that the drug passes through the body surface, e.g., skin, and into the individual's blood stream. The term “transdermal” is intended to include trans-mucosal administration, i.e., administration of a drug to the mucosal (e.g., sublingual, buccal, vaginal, rectal) surface of an individual so that the agent passes through the mucosal tissue and into the individual's blood stream.
- The terms “topical delivery system,” “transdermal delivery system” and “TDS,” which refer to the route of delivery of the drug via the skin tissue, are used interchangeably herein.
- The terms “skin” tissue or “cutaneous” tissue as used herein are defined as including tissues covered by a stratum corneum, or stratum lucidum, and/or other mucous membranes. The term further includes mucosal tissue, including the interior surface of body cavities, e.g., buccal, nasal, rectal, vaginal, etc., which have a mucosal lining. The term “skin” should be interpreted as including “mucosal tissue” and vice versa.
- The term “system,” as used herein, is defined as an article, an apparatus or a device containing the active agent or a composition thereof for administration to the skin, local tissues under the skin, the circulation system or other sites or targeting the human body via skin permeation sites.
- In some instances, the transdermal devices are configured with as a single layer comprising the active agent. By “single layer” is meant that the transdermal delivery device includes only a single layer of active agent containing matrix and does not include separate distinct layers for a pressure sensitive adhesive, transdermal active agent layer, etc. It will be appreciated the single layer devices may include one or more additional layers that do not include the active agent. In some embodiments, the transdermal delivery device includes at least a backing and an active agent-containing layer. The composition may further include a release liner.
- In one embodiment, the delivery systems are multi-layered. As used herein, the term “multi-layer” refers to a transdermal delivery device comprising at least two or more layers comprising an active agent. As a representative example, a multi-layered device may contain two or more layers of drug-in-adhesive. The layers may be separated by a membrane from other layers. In this manner, one active agent layer may provide immediate release of the active and the other layer may provide control release of an active from the reservoir. In embodiments, multi-layered devices may optionally contain a release liner-layer and a backing. The rate of drug release from the various layers depends on membrane permeability and diffusion of drug molecules. One non-limiting example of a multi-layered patch is provided in
FIG. 1A . - In embodiments, the transdermal delivery system comprises one or more drug reservoirs. The term “drug reservoir” means a composition made to retain and release a drug for transdermal delivery, which composition is produced by combining a drug and a matrix material. The drug reservoir can be a drug reservoir composition, a solid drug reservoir layer, a solid drug reservoir adhesive layer, or a liquid drug reservoir layer. In some embodiments, a drug reservoir can be a solid drug reservoir layer in a multi-laminate transdermal drug delivery medical device. When combined with an adhesive, the drug reservoir can also be a solid drug reservoir adhesive layer, which can be used, for example, in a monolith transdermal drug delivery medical device. The drug reservoir can also comprise permeation enhancers, plasticizers, and any other suitable additive, unless otherwise noted.
- In one embodiment, the drug reservoir contains (a) a memantine compound, (b) an alkaline/basic salt, (c) one or more polymers, (d) a carrier, (e) a dissolving agent, optionally together with a permeation enhancer, and other agents such as gelling agents, emollients, surfactants, humectants, viscosity enhancers, emulsifiers, etc., listed below. The drug reservoir may also contain one or more (f) disintegrants. In embodiments, at least one of the one or more polymers is an acrylate copolymer.
- In some embodiments, the drug reservoir comprises, as active ingredient, a memantine compound or a derivative thereof. Memantine (NAMENDA) is a compound that belongs to the admantane class of active agents. In some embodiments, the compound comprises the structure shown in Formula I. In another embodiment, the memantine compound is also known as 3,5-dimethyladamantan-1-amine; 1-amino-3,5-dimethyladamantane; 1,3-dimethyl-5-adamantanamine; 3,5-dimethyl-1-adamantanamine; 3,5-dimethyl-1-aminoadamantane; and 3,5-dimethyltricyclo(3.3.1.1(3,7))decan-1-amine:
- The terms “compound” and “compounds” as used herein refers to a compound encompassed by the generic formulae disclosed herein, any subgenus of those generic formulae, and any specific compounds within the generic and subgeneric formulae. Particularly, “memantine” as used herein refers to the hydrochloride salt of 3,5-dimethyladamantan-1-amine.
- In one embodiment, the transdermal delivery system according to the invention comprises memantine in the form of the free base, e.g., a compound whose empirical formula as a free base is C12H21N (having a pKa of about 10.7). The term “free base” or “freebase” refers to the conjugate base (deprotonated) form of an amine, as opposed to its conjugate acid (protonated) form. The amine may be a primary amine (e.g., RNH2, wherein R is an alkyl group), secondary amine (e.g., R1R2NH, wherein R1 and R2 are each, individually, the same or different alkyl groups) or tertiary amine (e.g., R1R2R3N, wherein R1, R2 and R3 are each, individually, the same or different alkyl groups).
- In certain embodiments, the amine salt is converted into the base form in situ via a decomposition reaction. As used herein, the term “in situ” refers to processes, events, objects, or components that are present or take place within the context of the system or device, including, the surrounding environment, for example, the biological material with which the device is in contact with. As an example, an in situ reaction may refer to the reaction of the various components present in the device (e.g., memantine salt and bicarbonate), including, components provided by the human skin tissue (e.g., water, which allows the components to react in aqueous form by dissolving the memantine salt and bicarbonate). The term is contrasted with ex situ, which refers to outside of the environment.
- In one embodiment, the decomposition reaction comprises reaction of a salt of memantine with an alkaline salt. An “alkaline salt” or “basic salt” as used herein refers to a salt, when dissolved in water, yields a solution with pH greater than 7.0. In some embodiments, the basic or alkaline salt is an inorganic salt of a weak acid, e.g., an alkali metal salt of a weak acid selected from the group consisting of sodium acetate, sodium borate, sodium metaborate, sodium carbonate, sodium bicarbonate, sodium phosphate, potassium carbonate, potassium bicarbonate, potassium citrate, potassium acetate, and potassium phosphate. In particular embodiments, the alkaline salt is one whose conjugate base from the weak acid hydrolyzes to form a basic solution. For example, in sodium carbonate (Na2CO3), the carbonate (conjugate base) from the carbonic acid (weak acid) hydrolyzes in water or other polar medium to form a basic solution. Representative examples of such alkaline salts include salts of Li+, Na+, K+, Rb+, Mg2+, Ca2+, Sr2+, or Ba2+, preferably Na+, K+, Mg2+, Ca2+, wherein the conjugate bases are, for e.g., sulfate (SO4 −), nitrate (NO3 −), dihydrogen phosphate (H2PO4 −), acetate (CH3COO−), oxalate, citrate, tartrate, hydrogen carbonate (HCO3 −), carbonate (CO3 2−), phosphate (PO4 3−), hydrogen phosphate (HPO4 2−), and hydrogen sulfide (HS−).
- Particularly, the salt is selected from an acetate, oxalate, citrate, tartrate, bicarbonate, or hydrogen sulfide salt of Na+, K+, Mg2+, or Ca2+, for e.g., Na+HCO3 −, K+HCO3 −, Mg2+(HCO3 −)2 or Na+ CH3COO−, etc.
- Purely as a representative example, wherein the salt is a bicarbonate salt, it undergoes in situ reaction with memantine HCl salt to release water, CO2 and the free amine in the following manner:
- Mex(HCO3)x+x*(R—NH3 +Cl−)→MexClx+xH2O+xCO2+xR-NH2, wherein Me is a metal (e.g., Li+, Na+, K+, Rb+, Mg2+, Ca2+, Sr2+, or Ba2+), x is the valency of the metal (e.g., from 1 to 3), R is the adamantane ring of memantine and —NH2 is the amine group of memantine.
- In one embodiment, the reaction takes place in a polar medium. In another embodiment, the reaction takes place in an amphipathic medium.
- In another embodiment, a free base may be generated using other art-known techniques. For example, in one embodiment, the free base is generated from the salt using ion exchangers. Preferred anion exchange resins are commercially available resins containing basic (cationic) groups such as quaternary ammonium groups, tertiary sulphonium groups, quaternary phosphonium groups or alkyl pyridinium groups. Particularly preferred anion exchange resins are those containing quaternary amines, such as REXYN™ 201 (Fisher Scientific Co.), AMBERLITE™ IR A-400, (Mallinckrodt Chemical Works), IONAC™ A-540 (Matheson, Coleman and Bell), DOWEX™ I and 21K (Dow Chemical Co.), and DUOLITE™ A-101D and ES-109 (Diamond Shamrock Chemical Co.).
- In another embodiment, the devices described herein comprise derivatives of the active agents. The term “derivative” as used herein includes salts, amides, esters, enol ethers, enol esters, acetals, ketals, orthoesters, hemiacetals, hemiketals, acids, bases, solvates, hydrates or prodrugs of the active agents. Such derivatives may be readily prepared by those of skill in this art using known methods for such derivatization. In certain embodiments, the derivatives may be administered to animals or humans without substantial toxic effects and either are pharmaceutically active or are prodrugs. Representative types of memantine derivatives are described in U.S. Pat. Nos. 3,391,142; 4,122,193; 4,273,774; and 5,061,703; U.S. Pat. Pub.

Particularly favored derivatives and prodrugs are those that increase the bioavailability of the compounds of the embodiments when such compounds are administered to a subject (e.g., by allowing a transdermally-administered compound to be more readily absorbed into the skin tissue) or which enhance delivery of the parent compound to a biological compartment (e.g., the brain) relative to the parent species. Prodrugs include amide and ester forms of the compounds of the invention. Examples of ester prodrugs include formate, acetate, propionate, butyrate, acrylate, and ethylsuccinate derivatives. A general overview of prodrugs is provided in Higuchi et al., Pro drugs as Novel Delivery Systems, Vol. 14 of the American Chemical Society Symposium Series and Edward B. Roche, ed., Bioreversible Carriers in Drug Design, American Pharmaceutical Association and Pergamon Press, 1987, both of which are incorporated herein by reference.

Memantine, donepezil and fingolimod in the free base form (free amine) is lipophilic and is absorbed more readily through the skin cells and penetrates the dermal barrier faster than the salt forms (hydrophilic) of the drugs. In the devices and systems described herein, the conversion of the salt form of the drug into the free base form is accomplished in situ by providing the components, e.g., the bicarbonate and the memantine HCl together or in close proximity to each other. Optionally, a lipophilic solvent may be included to dissolve the more hydrophobic free base form of the drug. The other component(s) of the in situ synthetic process, e.g., polar or amphipathic medium, for carrying out the aqueous reaction, may be contained in the composition or provided externally.
- In certain embodiments, the active compound and the bicarbonate salt, optionally together with any other ingredients or adjuvants, may be co-micronized together into a formulation.

The skin contact adhesive layer may be fabricated from any of the adhesive materials listed herein. In one embodiment, the skin contact adhesive comprises a higher alcohol and a biocompatible polymer.
- In one embodiment, the skin contact adhesive layer comprises a C10-30 higher alcohol. In embodiments, the higher alcohol is selected from the group consisting of lauryl alcohol, isostearyl alcohol, octyldodecanol, and oleyl alcohol. In one embodiment, the skin contact adhesive does not include a hydrophilic solvent that is present in the drug reservoir

The weight ratio between components of the PIB matrix is as follows: PIB Oppanol B100:PIB Oppanol B 12:Indopol H1900=10:50:40. See, Brantseva et al., European Polymer Journal, 76, 228-244, 2016.
- In one embodiment, the skin contact adhesive layer comprises about 40%, about 41%, about 42%, about 43%, about 44%, about 45%, about 46%, about 47%, about 48%, about 49%, about 50%, about 51%, about 52%, about 53%, about 54%, about 55%, about 56%, about 57%, about 58%, about 59%, about 60%, about 61%, about 62%, about 63%, about 64%, about 65%, about 66%, about 67%, about 68%, about 69%, about 70%, about 71%, about 72%, about 73%, about 74%, about 75%, about 76%, about 77%, about 78%, about 79%, about 80%, about 81%, about 82%, about 83%, about 84%, about 85%, about 86%, about 87%, about 88%, about 89%, about 90%, about 91%, about 92%, about 93%, about 94%, about 95%, about 96%, about 97%, about 98%, about 99%, about 99.9, or greater % by weight of one or more biocompatible polymers, wherein all values are relative to the weight of the adhesive layer. Particularly, the % weight of the polymer in the adhesive layer is between about 50%-90%, especially about 60%-80%, of the entire adhesive layer.
- In some embodiments, the skin contact adhesive layer optionally comprises highly dispersive silica, e.g., hydrophobic colloidal silica that can effectively adsorb hydrophobic drugs and other hydrophobic ingredients. By using hydrophobic colloidal silica at a certain percentage as an excipient (from about 3% to about 20%, preferably from about 5% to about 10% in the formulation), the diffusion of the active ingredient through the matrix can be controlled during storage. Examples of the dispersive silica for use in the compositions include, but are not limited to, the high purity amorphous anhydrous colloidal silicon dioxide for use in pharmaceutical products sold under the name AEROSIL®, e.g., AEROSIL®90, AEROSIL®130, AEROSIL®150, AEROSIL®200, AEROSIL®300, AEROSIL®380, AEROSIWOX50, AEROSIL®TT600, AEROSIL®MOX80, AEROSIL®COK84, AEROSIL®R202, AEROSIL®R805, AEROSIL®R812, AEROSIL®812S, AEROSIL®R972, and/or AEROSIL® R974 or any other highly disperse silica, especially AEROSIL®200 and/or AEROSIL®R972 can be used according to the invention as highly disperse silica.
- In one embodiment, the skin contact adhesive layer comprises highly dispersive silica at least about 40% by weight relative to the weight of the entire adhesive layer, including, at least about 1% by weight relative to the weight of the adhesive layer, including, at least about 3%, e.g., about 4%, about 5%, about 6%, about 7%, about 8%, about 9%, about 10%, about 11%, about 12%, about 13%, about 14%, about 15%, about 16%, about 17%, about 18%, about 19%, about 20%, or greater % by weight, wherein all values are relative to the weight of the entire adhesive layer.
- In some embodiments, the skin contact adhesive layer optionally comprises a matrix modifier. Without wishing to be bound by theory, it is believed that the matrix modifier facilitates homogenization of the adhesive matrix. Sorption of hydrophilic moieties is a possible mechanism for this process. Thus, known matrix modifiers which are to some degree water-sorbent may be used. For example, possible matrix modifiers include colloidal silicone dioxide, fumed silica, cross-linked polyvinylpyrrolidone (PVP), soluble PVP, cellulose derivatives (e.g. hydroxypropyl cellulose (HPC), hydroxyethylcellulose (HEC)), polyacrylamide, polyacrylic acid, a polyacrylic acid salt, or a clay such as kaolin or bentonite. An exemplary commercial fumed silica product is Cab-O-Sil (Cabot Corporation, Boston, Mass.). The hydrophilic mixtures described in U.S. Published Patent Application No. 2003/0170308 may also be employed, for example mixtures of PVP and PEG or of PVP, PEG, and a water-swellable polymer such as the polymethacrylate-based copolymers sold under the trade name EUDRAGIT, and in particular EUDRAGIT® L100-55.
- In embodiments, the matrix modifier is individually included in the contact adhesive layer in an amount between about 1-40%, about 10-30%, about 15-25%, about 5-7%, about 7-20%, or about 7-25% relative to the weight of the adhesive matrix (inclusive of sub-ranges), including, at least about 3%, e.g., about 4%, about 5%, about 6%, about 7%, about 8%, about 9%, about 10%, about 11%, about 12%, about 13%, about 14%, about 15%, about 16%, about 17%, about 18%, about 19%, about 20%, or greater % by weight, wherein all values are relative to the weight of the entire adhesive layer. In some embodiments, the matrix modifier does not include ethylcellulose.
- In some embodiments, a hydrophobic drug (e.g., memantine) and other hydrophobic ingredients may be adsorbed to the hydrophobic surface of the silica particles using art-known technology. In such embodiments, the hydrophobic colloidal silica has a large specific surface area for drug deposition, as well as exhibiting strong adsorption to hydrophobic drugs.
- In one embodiment, the skin contact adhesive layer as manufactured does not include a pharmaceutically active agent intended for systemic delivery. However, the skin contact adhesive layer when fabricated into a transdermal delivery system and stored for a period of time and/or during use may contain the pharmaceutically active agent due to diffusion of the agent from the drug reservoir adhesive matrix into the skin contact adhesive layer.
- The penetration or permeation enhancer in either or both of the skin contact adhesive layer and the drug reservoir adhesive matrix may be chosen from a wide range of such compounds known in the art. In some embodiments, permeation enhancers for use in the adhesive matrix include, but are not limited to, methyl laurate, propylene glycol monolaurate, glycerol monolaurate, glycerol monooleate, lauryl lactate, myristyl lactate, and dodecyl acetate. Additional permeation enhancers are described in U.S. Pat. No. 8,874,879, which is incorporated herein by reference. It will be appreciated that the compositions herein may include one or more or at least one permeation enhancer. In embodiments, the penetrating or permeating enhancer is included in an amount between about 1-10%, about 2-5%, about 2-10% relative to the weight of the adhesive matrix.
- Either or both of the skin contact adhesive layer and the drug reservoir adhesive matrix may further include other conventional additives such as adhesive agents, antioxidants, crosslinking or curing agents, pH regulators, pigments, dyes, refractive particles, conductive species, antimicrobial agents, opacifiers, gelling agents, viscosity modifiers or thickening agents, stabilizing agents, and the like as known in the art. In those embodiments wherein adhesion needs to be reduced or eliminated, conventional detackifying agents may also be used. Other agents may also be added, such as antimicrobial agents, to prevent spoilage upon storage, i.e., to inhibit growth of microbes such as yeasts and molds. Suitable antimicrobial agents are typically selected from the group consisting of the methyl and propyl esters of p-hydroxybenzoic acid (i.e., methyl and propyl paraben), sodium benzoate, sorbic acid, imidurea, and combinations thereof. These additives, and amounts thereof, are selected in such a way that they do not significantly interfere with the desired chemical and physical properties of the adhesive and/or active agent.
- Either or both of the skin contact adhesive layer and the drug reservoir adhesive matrix may further may also contain irritation-mitigating additives to minimize or eliminate the possibility of skin irritation and/or skin damage resulting from the drug, the enhancer, or other components of the composition. Suitable irritation-mitigating additives include, for example: a-tocopherol; monoamine oxidase inhibitors, particularly phenyl alcohols such as 2-phenyl-1-ethanol; glycerol; salicylic acids and salicylates; ascorbic acids and ascorbates; ionophores such as monensin; amphiphilic amines; ammonium chloride; N-acetylcysteine; cis-urocanic acid; capsaicin; chloroquine; and corticosteriods.
- In the method, a transdermal delivery system is provided that is comprised of a therapeutic agent and a reservoir comprising the therapeutic agent. The therapeutic agent (i) has a half-life in the blood when delivered orally of greater than about 48 hours and (ii) is for the treatment of a chronic condition. Upon application of the transdermal delivery system to the skin of a subject, transdermal delivery of the therapeutic agent occurs, to provide a systemic blood concentration of the agent (or a metabolite) that at steady state is bioequivalent to administration of the therapeutic agent orally. As discussed below, bioequivalency is established by (a) a 90% confidence interval of the relative mean Cmax and AUC of the therapeutic agent administered from the transdermal delivery system and via oral delivery between 0.70 and 1.43 or between 0.80 and 1.25, or (b) a 90% confidence interval of the geometric mean ratios for AUC and Cmax of the therapeutic agent administered from the transdermal delivery system and via oral delivery between 0.70 and 1.43 or between 0.80 and 1.25.
- In embodiments, bioequivalency is established by (a) a 90% confidence interval of the relative mean Cmax and AUC of the therapeutic agent administered from the transdermal delivery system and via oral delivery are between about 0.60 and 1.30, between about 0.7 and 1.43 or between 0.8 and 1.25, or (b) a 90% confidence interval of the geometric mean ratios for AUC and Cmax of the therapeutic agent administered from the transdermal delivery system and via oral delivery are between 0.60 and 1.30, between about 0.7 and 1.43 or between 0.8 and 1.25. In some embodiments, the 90% confidence ratio for establishing bioequivalency is between about 0.60 to 1.25, between about 0.6 to 1.0, between about 0.70 to 1.30, between about 0.70 to 1.25, between about 0.70 to 1.0, between about 0.80 to 1.30, between about 0.80 to 1.25, between about 0.80 to 1.0, between about 0.90 to 1.30, between about 0.90 to 1.25, between about 0.90 to 1.0, between about 1.0 to 1.30, between or about 1.0 to 1.25.
- Therapeutic agents with half-lives of greater than about 48 hours are readily identified by skilled artisans from various reference books and publications (see, for example, Schulz et al., Critical Care, 16:R136 2012). Examples include carbamazepine, anidulafungin, amphotericin, clonazepam, clozapine, digoxin, ethosuximide, maprotiline, mephobarbital, nortriptyline, olanzapine, phenobarbital, sirolimus, zonisamide, memantine, donepezil, fingolimod, and others.
- In one embodiment, the therapeutic agent is a poorly water soluble agent or a sparingly water soluble agent. The term “sparingly water-soluble” is understood as comprising the terms described in the pharmacopeias for water solubilities of drugs such as “of low solubility”, “slightly soluble”, “very slightly soluble” to “practically insoluble”. By way of example, the free base of memantine has a water solubility of 0.9 mg/mL. The free base of donepezil has a water solubility of 2.9 mg/L. Both are considered poorly water soluble.
- The method is based on a finding that transdermal delivery system for drugs with a long blood elimination half life can be designed to provide a pharmacokinetic (PK) profile that is bioequivalent to oral administration of the same drug, at about the same dose. Standard PK parameters routinely used to assess the behavior of a dosage form in vivo (in other words when administered to an animal or human subject) include Cmax (peak concentration of drug in blood plasma), Tmax (the time at which peak drug concentration is achieved) and AUC (the area under the plasma concentration vs time curve). Methods for determining and assessing these parameters are well known in the art. The desirable pharmacokinetic profile of the transdermal delivery systems described herein comprise but are not limited to: (1) a Cmax for transdermally delivered form of the drug when assayed in the plasma of a mammalian subject following administration, that is bioequivalent to the Cmax or an orally delivered or an intravenously delivered form of the drug, administered at the same dosage; and/or (2) an AUC for transdermally delivered form of the drug when assayed in the plasma of a mammalian subject following administration, that is preferably bioequivalent to the AUC for an orally delivered or an intravenously delivered form of the drug, administered at the same dosage; and/or (3) a Tmax for transdermally delivered form of the drug when assayed in the plasma of a mammalian subject following administration, that is within about 80-125% of the Tmax for an orally delivered or an intravenously delivered form of the drug, administered at the same dosage. Preferably the transdermal delivery system exhibits a PK profile having a combination of two or more of the features (1), (2) and (3) in the preceding sentence. Alternatively, the transdermal delivery system exhibits a PK profile having one or both of the features (1) and (2).
- In the field of pharmaceutical development the term “bioequivalence” will be readily understood and appreciated by the person skilled in the art. Various regulatory authorities have strict criteria and tests for assessing whether or not two drug products are bioequivalent. These criteria and tests are commonly used throughout the pharmaceutical industry and the assessment of bioequivalence is recognized as a standard form of activity in drug development programs where the characteristics and performance of one product are being compared to those of another product. Indeed in seeking approval to market certain types of products (e.g. those evaluated under the FDA's “Abbreviated New Drug Application” procedure), it is a requirement that the follow-on product be shown to be bioequivalent to a reference product.
- In one embodiment of the invention, the method encompasses providing and/or administering a transdermal delivery system comprising a therapeutic agent with a long blood circulation half-life that when transdermally administered to a subject in a fasted state is bioequivalent to administration of the agent orally or intravenously to a subject also in a fasted state, in particular as defined by Cmax and AUC guidelines given by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration and the corresponding European regulatory agency (EMEA). Under U.S. FDA and Europe's EMEA guidelines, two products or methods are bioequivalent if the 90% Confidence Intervals (CI) for AUC and Cmax are between 0.80 to 1.25 (Tmax measurements are not relevant to bioequivalence for regulatory purposes). Europe's EMEA previously used a different standard, which required a 90% CI for AUC between 0.80 to 1.25 and a 90% CI for Cmax between 0.70 to 1.43. Methods for determining Cmax and AUC are well known in the art.
- The transdermal delivery system contemplated may have a variety of configurations, and several non-limiting examples are depicted in

In another embodiment, the solvent in the pores of the microporous membrane is octyldodecanol. In one embodiment, the solvent composition or solvent contained in the pores of the microporous membrane excludes the hydrophilic solvent present in the drug reservoir. In one embodiment, the solvent composition contained in the pores of the microporous membrane excludes glycerin.
- The microporous membrane may be pretreated with the solvent composition so that its pores are saturated with, filled with, or partially filled with the solvent or solvent composition. The microporous membrane is, in one embodiment, a polypropylene microporous membrane and may have an average pore size in the range of about 0.001 μm to about 100 μm, about 1 μm to about 10 μm, about 0.010 μm to about 0.100 μm, or about 0.040 μm to about 0.050 μm. For example, the average pore size can be about 0.035 μm, 0.036 μm, 0.037 μm, 0.038 μm, 0.039 μm, 0.040 μm, 0.041 μm, 0.042 μm, 0.043 μm, 0.044 μm, 0.045 μm, 0.046 μm, 0.047 μm, 0.048 μm, 0.049 μm, or 0.050 μm. In some embodiments, the microporous membrane has an average pore size of about 0.043 μm. The microporous membrane is, in one embodiment, a polypropylene microporous membrane and has a porosity in the range of about 30% to about 50%, about 35% to about 45%, or about 40% to about 42%. For example, the microporous membrane can have a porosity of about 30%, 31%, 32%, 33%, 34%, 35%, 36%, 37%, 38%, 39%, 40%, 41%, 42%, 43%, 44%, 45%, 46%, 47%, 48%, 49%, or 50%.
- Accordingly, in one embodiment, a transdermal delivery system for systemic delivery of donepezil is provided, wherein the transdermal delivery system comprises a salt form of donepezil and a weak base in the drug reservoir is provided, to generate in situ the base form of donepezil that is delivered via the skin for systemic uptake.

- The transdermal delivery system prepared according to Example 1 was tested in vivo for systemic delivery of donepezil, as described in Example 2. In this in vivo study, six human subjects received treatment with a transdermal delivery system applied to their skin and worn for one week, and then removed. Another group of six human subjects were treated with orally administered donepezil (ARICPET®) at a dose of 5 mg taken on day one and on
day 7 of the study. Blood samples were taken from the subjects and plasma concentrations of donepezil determined. The results are shown inFIGS. 2A-2B . -
FIG. 2A shows the mean plasma concentration of donepezil, in ng/mL, in human subjects treated with a donepezil transdermal delivery system (circles) for 1 week, or with 5 mg of donepezil administered orally onday 1 and on day 7 (triangles). The donepezil transdermal delivery system provided a plasma concentration bioequivalent to the plasma concentration provided from oral delivery of a similar dose of donepezil. Accordingly, in one embodiment, a method of administering donepezil transdermally is provided by administering a transdermal delivery system that provides a pharmacokinetic profile that is bioequivalent to the pharmacokinetic profile obtained by oral administration of donepezil. -
FIG. 2B is a graph showing a close up of the data points fromFIG. 2A in the 24 hour period after oral administration of the 5 mg donepezil tablet (triangles) and after removal of the donepezil transdermal delivery system (circles).

The plasma fluctuations resulting from oral administration are eliminated by the transdermal system, where a fresh patch is applied each week and a constant plasma concentration is maintained over the treatment period. The transdermal delivery system provides a constant plasma concentration of donepezil for a sustained period of time (e.g., 3 days, 5 days, 7 days, 14 days), where the plasma concentration is essentially the same as or within about 10%, 15%, 20% or 30% of the plasma concentration achieved with daily oral administration of a similar daily dose of donepezil. - With reference again to the study in Example 2, the six subjects treated with a donepezil transdermal delivery system for one week were monitored for several days following removal of the delivery system from their skin for signs of skin irritation.
FIG. 4 is a bar graph showing the number of subjects out of the 6 in the group and the observed skin irritation in the period after removal of the delivery system, where the open bars indicate no skin irritation and the filled bars indicate mild skin irritation. The delivery system resulted in no or mild skin irritation in the hours after removal, and any mild irritation resolved with a day or two. - In another study, human subjects were treated with a transdermal delivery system designed to deliver systemically an amount of donepezil that is bioequivalent to orally administered donepezil at a 10 mg, once daily dose.

The transdermal delivery system provides a constant plasma concentration of memantine for a sustained period of time (e.g., 3 days, 5 days, 7 days, 14 days), where the plasma concentration is essentially the same as or within about 5%, 10%, 15%, 20% or 30% of the plasma concentration over the sustained period of time achieved with daily oral administration of a similar daily dose of memantine. - Example 7 describes transdermal delivery systems comprising memantine that were prepared in another study in support of the method claimed herein. The transdermal systems were prepared with a drug reservoir comprised of memantine hydrochloride and sodium bicarbonate, with octyldodecanol as a dissolving agent. Glycerol was added as a carrier, and the components were mixed into an adhesive matrix of an acrylate copolymer, polyisobutylene and cross-linked polyvinylpyrrolidone. The weight percent of the components in each layer of the transdermal delivery systems are summarized in Tables 7.1 and 7.2, in Example 7 below.
- Examples 8 and 9 below describe a study conducted on human subjects where transdermal patches comprising donepezil were studied and compared to orally administered donepezil. In this study, patients were enrolled to participate in a six month, three-period, randomized crossover study comparing the steady-state pharmacokinetic profiles of once-daily oral donepezil (ARICEPT®) with a donepezil transdermal patch formulation. The transdermal patch was provided in two sizes, A and B, yet other than surface area, the transdermal patches were the same in all respects. During the study, the 60 enrolled participants received one week of 5 mg/day of donepezil, followed by 4 weeks of 10 mg/day of donepezil delivered from the once-weekly transdermal patch. Pharmacokinetic measurements were evaluated during the fourth week of the 10 mg/day treatment, when plasma concentrations had achieved steady levels. Blood samples for the subjects receiving the transdermal treatment were taken daily throughout the fourth week to determine pharmacokinetics. Subjects receiving oral donepezil had blood drawn on the last day of the fourth week to determine pharmacokinetics. The mean plasma concentration of donepezil, in ng/mL, is shown in
FIG. 7A , for each day in the fourth week of the study (week 5), where the solid line corresponds to the transdermal patch with a smaller surface area and the dashed line corresponds to the transdermal patch with a larger surface area. The thick, bold line at days 6-7 shows the mean plasma concentration for the subjects receiving the oral donepezil, and the dotted line shows the projected daily plasma concentration for oral treatment. The mean plasma concentrations of donepezil in the subjects treated with a transdermal patch were bioequivalent to the plasma concentration of donepezil in the subject treated orally with donepezil. The larger and smaller transdermal patches demonstrated dose proportionality. Table 2 shows the primary pharmacokinetic parameters in a bioequivalence assessment of the smaller surface area transdermal patch used in the study. -
TABLE 2 Primary Pharmacokinetic Geometric Mean Ratio (%) of Bioequivalence Limits Parameter smaller patch to oral dose (target 80-125%) AUC (ng − hr/mL) 104.7% 95.2-115.2 CmaxSS (ng/mL) 91.6% 83.1-100.8 - The gastrointestinal related adverse events of nausea, vomiting and diarrhea reported by the subjects in the clinical study mentioned above with respect to
FIG. 7A are shown inFIG. 7B . Subjects treated with the smaller size transdermal patch (bars with dashed fill) and with the larger size transdermal patch (bars with vertical line fill) had a lower incidence or nausea, vomiting and diarrhea than subjects treated with oral (bars with horizontal line fill) donepezil. The number of subjects experiencing nausea was four-fold lower when the 10 mg/day donepezil was administered transdermally versus orally. The number of subjects experiencing diarrhea was two-fold lower when 10 mg/day donepezil was administered transdermally versus orally. Accordingly, in one embodiment, a method for delivering donepezil to a subject is provided, where the method comprises providing a transdermal delivery system comprised of a donepezil and administering or instructing to administer the transdermal delivery system to the skin of a subject. Administering of donepezil transdermally achieves a plasma concentration of donepezil that is bioequivalent to administration of donepezil orally, and wherein the number of gastrointestinal related adverse events is two-fold, three-fold, four-fold, or five-fold lower than subjects treated with the same dose of donepezil orally. In one embodiment, the number of gastrointestinal related adverse events is between 2-5, 2-4, and 2-3 fold lover, and in another embodiment, the number of gastrointestinal related adverse events is at least about two-fold, at least about three-fold, at least about four-fold, or at least about five-fold lower than subjects treated with the same dose of donepezil orally. - The following examples are illustrative in nature and are in no way intended to be limiting.

Assessment of local skin irritation in the subjects of
Arm 1 will also be assessed daily during the 36 day confinement period and for 7 visits over a 21 day wash-out period. Skin irritation is assessed using an 8 point categorical scale of no irritation; minimal erythema, barely perceptible; definite erythema readily visible; minimal edema or minimal popular response; erythema and papules; definite edema; erythema, edema and papules; vesicular eruption; strong reaction, spreading beyond application site. Topical adhesion of the subjects inArm 1 is assessed twice daily during the 36 day confinement period according to a percent adhesion scale of ≥90% adhered (essentially no lift off skin); ≥75% to <90% adhered (some edges only lifting off skin); ≥50% to <75% adhered (less than half the transdermal system lifting off skin); <50% adhered but did not detach (not detached, but more than half the transdermal system lifting off skin without falling off); patch completely detached (transdermal system detached, completely off skin). - Transdermal delivery systems are prepared according to the teachings of Examples 5 and 6.
- Approximately 60 patients are enrolled and are randomly separated into three treatment arms of 20 patients each for a four week treatment study. The patients in
Arm 1 are treated with a transdermal system of formulation A, for delivery of 5 mg donepezil per day is worn for 7 days. After the initial 7 day period, the system is replaced weekly for 3 weeks with a transdermal system of formulation A for delivery of 10 mg donepezil per day. The patients inArm 1 are treated with a transdermal system of formulation B, for delivery of 5 mg donepezil per day is worn for 7 days. After the initial 7 day period, the system is replaced weekly for 3 weeks with a transdermal system of formulation B for delivery of 10 mg donepezil per day. The patients inArm 3 are treated with a daily oral dose of 5 mg donepezil (ARICEPT) for 7 days followed by a once daily 10 mg dose of donepezil (ARICEPT) for 28 days. - For the subjects in
Arm 1 andArm 2, blood samples are taken at the following time points to determine donepezil blood concentration and pharmacokinetics: predose;day 1 post dosing at times of 0 hours, 2 hours, 6 hours and 12 hours; days 2-15 andday 22 at 0 hour;day 20 at 0, 3 6 and 12 hours; days 30-35 at 1 and 12 hours;day 36 at 0, 2, 6 and 12 hours; days 37-38, 41, 44, 47, 50 and 54 at 0 hour. - For the subjects in
Arm 3, blood samples are taken at the following time points to determine donepezil blood concentration and pharmacokinetics:day 1 at 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8 and 12 hours;day days - The number of subjects with treatment related adverse events is assessed daily during the 36 day confinement period and for 7 visits over a 21 day wash-out period. Assessment of local skin irritation in the subjects of
Arm 1 will also be assessed daily during the 36 day confinement period and for 7 visits over a 21 day wash-out period. Skin irritation is assessed using an 8 point categorical scale of no irritation; minimal erythema, barely perceptible; definite erythema readily visible; minimal edema or minimal popular response; erythema and papules; definite edema; erythema, edema and papules; vesicular eruption; strong reaction, spreading beyond application site. Topical adhesion of the subjects inArm 1 is assessed twice daily during the 36 day confinement period according to a percent adhesion scale of >90% adhered (essentially no lift off skin); >75% to <90% adhered (some edges only lifting off skin); >50% to <75% adhered (less than half the transdermal system lifting off skin); <50% adhered but did not detach (not detached, but more than half the transdermal system lifting off skin without falling off); patch completely detached (transdermal system detached, completely off skin). - While a number of exemplary aspects and embodiments have been discussed above, those of skill in the art will recognize certain modifications, permutations, additions and sub-combinations thereof.
