Description

Crystalline forms of Brigatinib
Field of the invention
The present invention relates to new crystalline forms of 5-chloro-N4-[2- (dimethylphosphoryl)phenyl]-N2-[2-methoxy-4-[4-(4-methylpiperazin-1 -yl)piperidin-1 - yl]phenyl]pyrimidine-2, 4-diamine (also referred to as "brigatinib"), in particular to a crystalline hydrate system and to crystalline acid addition salts of brigatinib, and methods for preparing same. The invention also refers to a pharmaceutical composition comprising the said hydrate system or said acid addition salts of brigatinib. The pharmaceutical composition of the present invention can be used as a medicament, in particular for the treatment of anaplastic lymphoma kinase (ALK) positive metastatic non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) and other diseases.
Background of the invention
Brigatinib, also known under the chemical name 5-chloro-N4-[2-(dimethylphosphoryl)phenyl]- N2-[2-methoxy-4-[4-(4-methylpiperazin-1 -yl)piperidin-1 -yl]phenyl]pyrimidine-2, 4-diamine, can be represented by the following chemical structure according to Formula (A):
Figure imgf000003_0001
Formula (A)
Brigatinib, previously also known as AP261 13, is a potent multi-targeted tyrosine-kinase inhibitor used in the treatment of non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) and other diseases. It acts as both as anaplastic lymphoma kinase (ALK) and epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) inhibitor.
Brigatinib and its synthesis are described in WO 2009/143389 A1. In example 122 brigatinib is isolated after chromatographic purification, followed by an additional work-up consisting of suspending the yellow solid obtained after chromatography in ethyl acetate and refluxing the suspension for 30 minutes, cooling it to room temperature and filtering it. The obtained solid is then dissolved in dichloromethane, filtered and dried to afford brigatinib as an off-white solid. The physical form of brigatinib obtained from this example is not described.
WO 2016/065028 A1 discloses crystalline brigatinib and more particularly the crystalline forms of brigatinib designated as form A, form B, form C, form D, form E, form F, form G, form H, form J, form K and form L. Form A is described as an anhydrous and non-hygroscopic form. Form B is reported as a hydroscopic form and is obtained by dehydration of hydrated crystalline forms C or D. Form B reversibly converts to the hydrated crystalline forms C or D at relative humidity above 30% or transforms to form A, e.g., at elevated temperature (above 150 °C). Hydrated crystalline forms C and D easily dehydrate to anhydrous form B and convert to each other depending on the temperature and relative humidity. The crystalline forms E to H are solvated forms, which convert to form A upon storage under atmospheric conditions. The crystalline forms J to L are obtained in mixtures containing form J or form K or form L together with form A.
In WO 2016/065028 A1 , Table 27 summarizes the results of over 600 experiments and shows that most of the experiments (i.e. 98% of the experiments) led to the formation of crystalline form A of brigatinib as a pure form or in a mixture containing form A and one or two additional forms of brigatinib. Brigatinib form A is described as the most stable form of brigatinib and indeed form A is used as the active pharmaceutical ingredient in the marketed product “Alunbrig”, which was approved by the US FDA in April 2017.
Tablets comprising the crystalline form A of brigatinib have been approved by the US FDA for the treatment of ALK-positive metastatic non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). While the 30mg tablets have an approved shelf-life of 24 months, the 90mg tablets have interestingly been approved only with a shelf life of 18 months based on the provided stability data (Center for Drug Evaluation and Research, Approval Package for application number 2087720rig1s000, page 2).
IN201741014828 reports two crystalline forms of brigatinib designated as form SP3 and form SP4. According to IN201741014828, crystalline forms SP3 and SP4 may exist as a solvate. More specifically, crystalline form SP3 may exist as an acetic solvate and crystalline form SP4 may exist as a propionic solvate.
WO18077187 A1 relates two crystalline forms of brigatinib designated as form CS1 and form CS2. According to W018077187 A1 , crystalline forms CS1 and CS2 may be hydrated forms. Form CS1 readily convert to form CS2 upon storage at room temperature and a relative humidity in the range of 30 to 80%. Moreover, physical properties of form CS2, i.e. thermal stability, are unpredictable and strongly depend on the preparation process of this form, as illustrated by the differential scanning calorimetric (DSC) analyses in Figures 6 and 11. In W018077187 A1 it is reported that during the DSC analysis of CS2 crystal, which was prepared according to Example 7, three endothermic events were measured: first one started at about 45°C, the second one at about 72°C and the third one at about 210°C. On the other hand, during the DSC analysis of CS2 crystal, which was prepared according to Example 10, two endothermic events were measured: first one started at about 121 °C, the second one at about 214°C.
W018077187 A1 reported that crystalline form A of WO 2016/065028 A1 has a low solubility and slow dissolution rate, making its use for the preparation of pharmaceutical compositions unsuitable.
As reported above, crystalline hydrates forms C, D and CS1 are not moisture stable and readily convert to each other or to another crystalline form upon drying or exposure to relative humidity above 30%. Moreover, physical properties of form CS2 are unpredictable.
There remains thus a need for further polymorphs of brigatinib suitable for the development of pharmaceutical dosage forms, preferably polymorphs with improved properties. Moreover, as moisture sensitive solid forms pose a limitation to the types of pharmaceutical dosage forms which can be prepared from them, for the types of excipients which can be used in combination with them and for the conditions and processes, which can be employed during the preparation of a pharmaceutical dosage form, there is thus a need for a solid form of brigatinib, which is stable, and has consistent physical properties at a range of temperature and relative humidity which are typical of the regular working conditions encountered during finished dosage form preparation.
Summary of the invention
The present invention relates to new crystalline forms of brigatinib - more particularly to a crystalline hydrate system H1 and H2 and to an intermediate thereof, form S, as well as to crystalline acid addition salts of brigatinib. Additionally, the present invention further refers to methods for preparing the same, and to a pharmaceutical composition comprising said hydrate system or salts of brigatinib. The pharmaceutical composition of the present invention may be used as a medicament in particular for the treatment of anaplastic lymphoma kinase (ALK) positive metastatic non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) and other diseases. The crystalline forms of the present invention have the advantages as demonstrated in the experimental section herein and as further detailed below. For examples, the present invention provides crystalline forms, which are stable during storage. The hydrate system of the invention is stable in the range of 0-80% RH, which makes the drug form less sensitive against presence of water during storage. For example, form H1 is stable under harsh conditions such as 40°C/75% RH for 8 weeks. In contrast, prior art form CS1 readily converts to CS2 at 30-80% RH. The acid addition salts of the invention may for example be less hygroscopic as compared with the known solid state forms.
Definitions
As used herein the term“room temperature” refers to a temperature in the range from 20 to 30 °C, preferably to a temperature in the range from 22 to 27 °C.
As used herein, the term“measured at a temperature in the range from 20 to 30 °C" refers to a measurement under standard conditions. Typically, standard conditions mean a temperature in the range from 20 to 30 °C, i.e. at room temperature. A preferred temperature for measurements is 22 °C, Typically, standard conditions additionally mean a measurement at 20% to 75% RH (relative humidity), with about 25% to 40% RH being a preferred controlled humidity value for a measurement.
The term“reflection" with regards to powder X-ray diffraction as used herein, means peaks in an X-ray diffractogram, which are caused at certain diffraction angles (Bragg angles) by constructive interference from X-rays scattered by parallel planes of atoms in solid material, which are distributed in an ordered and repetitive pattern in a long-range positional order. Such a solid material is classified as crystalline material, whereas amorphous material is defined as solid material, which lacks long-range order and only displays short-range order, thus resulting in broad scattering. According to literature, long-range order e.g. extends over approximately 1 Q3 to 1020 atoms, whereas short-range order is over a few atoms only (see“Fundamentals of Powder Diffraction and Structural Characterization of Materials’’ by Vitalij K. Pecharsky and Peter Y. Zavalij, Kluwer Academic Publishers, 2003, page 3).
The term “essentially the same” with reference to powder X-ray diffraction means that variabilities in peak positions and relative intensities of the peaks need to be taken into account. For example, a typical precision/accuracy of the 2-Theta values is in the range of ± 0.2° 2- Theta, preferably in the range of + 0. 2-Theta. Thus, a diffraction peak that usually appears at 13.0° 2-Theta for example can appear between 12.8° and 13.2° 2-Theta, preferably between 12.9° and 13. 2-Theta on most X-ray diffractometers under standard conditions. Furthermore, one skilled in the art will appreciate that relative peak intensities will show interapparatus variability as well as variability due to degree of crystallinity, preferred orientation, sample preparation and other factors known to those skilled in the art and should be taken as qualitative measure only.
An acid addition salt of brigatinib may be referred to herein as being characterized by graphical data "as shown in" a figure. Such data include, for example, powder X-ray diffractograms. The person skilled in the art understands that factors such as variations in instrument type, response and variations in sample directionality, sample concentration and sample purity may lead to small variations for such data when presented in graphical form, for example variations relating to the exact peak positions and intensities.
The term“stable", as used herein, means that the respective crystalline form or the crystalline system is maintained in an amount of at least 90% when stored at 40% RH, preferably 80% RH (open conditions) for 1 week, 2 weeks preferably 4 weeks, or even 8 weeks. The amount of crystalline form can be determined by PXRD.

Detailed description
Crystalline hydrate system
The present invention refers to a new crystalline hydrate system (also referred to herein as brigatinib form H1 and form H2) exhibiting improved physical properties e.g., with regard to stability, as well as to pharmaceutical compositions comprising the same.
Crystalline acid addition salts of brigatinib
The present invention also relates to crystalline acid addition salts of brigatinib.
In a particular embodiment, the acid addition salts of brigatinib with an acid, in particular with a pharmaceutically acceptable acid such as fumaric acid, citric acid, hydrochloric acid and 1 ,5- naphtha!enedisulfonic acid, is characterized by having a molar ratio of brigatinib and acid in the range of from 1 .0 : 0.8 to 1 .0 : 5.0, preferably of from 1.0 : 0.9 to 1 .0 : 4.0 and most preferably the molar ratio is 1 .0 : 3.0.
The present inventors have surprisingly found that crystalline acid addition salts of brigatinib of the present invention are stable and have a higher thermal stability than the marketed brigatinib form A. Moreover the crystalline acid addition salt of brigatinib with fumaric acid of the present invention, is less hygroscopic than marketed brigatinib form A. Pharmaceutical compositions with the crystalline acid addition salt of brigatinib with fumaric acid of the present invention is advantageous compared to pharmaceutical compositions comprising crystalline brigatinib form A in that its lower hygroscopicity and higher thermal stability can improve storage stability, for example under high temperature conditions or for a longer storage period.
Additionally, crystalline acid addition salts of brigatinib of the present invention are crystalline forms wherein brigatinib is chemically stable. By“chemically stable” it is meant that crystalline acid addition salts of brigatinib of the present invention show very little degradation (e.g., less than 5-%) when analyzed by thermogravimetric mass spectroscopy (TGMS) from 25°C to 170°C at a heating rate of 10°C/min, preferably crystalline acid addition salts of brigatinib with fumaric acid, hydrochloric acid and 1 ,5-naphthalenedisulfonic acid of the present invention show very little degradation when analyzed by thermogravimetric mass spectroscopy (TGMS) from 25°C to 200°C at a heating rate of 10°C/min. The chemistry of the crystalline acid addition salt of brigatinib with fumaric acid, hydrochloric acid and 1 ,5-naphthalenedisulfonic acid of the present invention, remains unchanged at temperatures where prior art forms, e.g., crystalline form A of brigatinib, changes its composition, as the chemistry of prior art brigatinib form A changes at about 100°C. By“chemically stable upon storage under stress conditions” it is meant that crystalline acid addition salts of brigatinib of the present invention show very little degradation upon storage under stress conditions, i.e. when stored at a relative humidity of 70 % at 40°C for 14 days, preferably after storage for 50 days. Very little degradation means that the TGMS thermogram shows no relevant decomposition process or an HPLC (high performance liquid chromatography) analysis of brigatinib shows no impurity of more than 0.1 area%.

Methods
Powder X-rav diffraction
Powder X-ray diffraction (PXRD) was performed with a PANalytical X'Pert PRO diffractometer equipped with a theta/theta coupled goniometer in transmission geometry, Cu-Ka1 ,2 radiation (wavelength 0.15419 nm) with a focusing mirror and a solid state PIXcel detector. Diffractograms were recorded at a tube voltage of 45 kV and a tube current of 40 mA, applying a stepsize of 0.013° 2-Theta with 40s per step (255 channels).
Differential scanning calorimetry
Differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) was performed on a Mettler Polymer DSC R instrument. The sample was heated in a 40 microL aluminum pan with pierced aluminum lid from 25 to 250°C or from 25 to 300°C at a rate of 10°C/min. Nitrogen (purge rate 50 mL/min) was used as purge gas.
Thermogravimetric mass spectroscopy (TGMS)
Thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) was performed on a Mettler Toledo TGA/DSC 1 instrument. Samples were heated in 100 pi aluminium pans closed with aluminium lids. Lids were automatically pierced at the beginning of the measurement. Samples were initially kept at 25°C for 2.5 minutes and then heated from 25 to 250°C or from 25 to 300°C at a rate of 10°C/min. Nitrogen (purge rate 50 mL/min) was used as purge gas.
Mass spectrometry (MS) measurements, coupled with thermogravimetric analysis (TGA), were performed with a Pfeiffer GSD 320 ThermoStar Gas Analysis System. A part of the headspace was evacuated with a capillary placed near the TG sample pan, and mass fragments between 1 - 100 atomic mass units (amu) were analyzed simultaneously without further separation applying a secondary electron multiplier (SEM) for signal amplification. Since samples were kept at 25°C for 2.5 minutes and then heated with a heating rate of 10°C/min, the ordinate of mass trace printouts, displayed in minutes, can be directly related to temperatures applying a factor of 10 (e.g. 10 minutes correspond to 100°C in the TGA experiment).
Gravimetric moisture sorption/desorption Gravimetric moisture sorption/desorption (GMSD) isotherms were recorded with an SPSx-I m moisture sorption analyzer (ProUmid, Ulm). The measurement cycle was started at relative humidity (RH) between 3% and 45%. Relative humidity was then decreased to 5% RH in 5% steps, followed by a further decrease to 3% RH and to 0% RH. For this isotherm, a black filled square with a white plus (“+”) inside is used in the respective figures. Afterwards RH was increased from 0% to 80% RH or form 0% to 90% RH in a sorption cycle and decreased to 0 % in a desorption cycle in 5% steps. Finally RH was increased to ambient relative humidity, i.e. a relative humidity in the range of from 25% to 45%, in 5% steps. As to the isotherm obtained by the last step, a black filled square with a white“x" inside is used in the respective figures.
The time per step was set to a minimum of 2 hours and a maximum of 6 hours. If an equilibrium condition with a constant mass of ± 0.01 % within 1 hour was reached before the maximum time for all examined samples the sequential humidity step was applied before the maximum time of 6 hours. If no equilibrium was achieved the consecutive humidity step was applied after the maximum time of 6 hours. The temperature was 25 ± 0.1 °C.
Determination of the moisture stability
Moisture stability at accelerated stability conditions was performed in a Memmert constant climate chamber HPP1 10. 50-70 mg of crystalline sample were exposed to an atmosphere having a relative humidity of 75±1 % and a temperature of 40±0.5°C for a certain period of time.
