Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a formulation of thermosensitive liposomes, and more specifically to a formulation of liposomes comprising phospholipids and a surface active agent, wherein the liposomes support long term storage at temperatures less than or equal to about 8° C., control degradate formation to maximize product potency and release its contents at mild hyperthermic temperatures. Methods of making formulations are also described.
  • Liposomes are composed of at least one lipid bilayer membrane enclosing an aqueous internal compartment. Liposomes may be characterized by membrane type and by size. Small unilamellar vesicles (SUVs) have a single membrane and typically range between 0.02 and 0.25 ⁇ m in diameter; large unilamellar vesicles (LUVs) are typically larger than 0.25 ⁇ m. Oligolamellar large vesicles and multilamellar large vesicles have multiple, usually concentric, membrane layers and are typically larger than 0.25 ⁇ m. Liposomes with several nonconcentric membranes, i.e., several small vesicles contained within a larger vesicle are termed multivesicular vesicles.
  • SUVs Small unilamellar vesicles
  • LUVs large unilamellar vesicles
  • Oligolamellar large vesicles and multilamellar large vesicles have multiple
  • Liposomes may be formulated to carry therapeutic agents, drugs or other active agents either contained within the aqueous interior space (water soluble active agents) or partitioned into the lipid bilayer (water-insoluble active agents). Liposomes may also be conjugated to, an antibody or targeting molecule that permits the delivery of active agent to a specific target site. Encapsulation of a drag in a liposome (1) reduces toxicity of the drug, (2) avoids the body's defenses that normally recognize foreign particles and target them for removal by the reticuloenclothelial system (RES) of the liver and spleen, and (3) allows targeting of the drag carrier to the therapeutic site of action, and once there, to release the drug rapidly so that it can act on the target tissue.
  • RES reticuloenclothelial system
  • RES reticuloendothelial system
  • Liposomes can be designed to be not leaky but will become so if a pore occurs in the liposome membrane, or if the membrane becomes fluid (e.g. undergoes a phase transition from a solid or gel phase to a liquid phase), or if the membrane degrades or dissolves. Such a breakdown in permeability can be induced by the application of electric fields (electroporation), or exposure of the liposome to enzymes or surfactants. Another met wolves raising the temperature of the membrane to temperatures in the vicinity of its gel to liquid phase transition temperature, where it appears that porous defects at phase boundary regions in the partially liquid and partially solid membrane allow for increased transport of water, ions and small molecules across the membrane. The clinical elevation of temperature in the body is called hyperthermia.
  • Hyperthermia causes multiple biologic changes. For a review refer to Issels R D. Hyperthermia adds to Chemotherapy, European J of Cancer (2008) 44:2546-2554. Temperatures in the mild hyperthermia range (39-44° C.) mediate localized physiological changes such as increases in blood flow, vasculature permeability and tissue oxygenation. The vasculature supporting solid tumors is chaotic in structure and the endothelial cells lining the micro-vasculature do not seal together normally resulting in a porous quality.
  • Hyperthermia causes an increase in the pore size in the abnormal tumor microvasculature and therefore enhances the extravasation of nanoscale molecules, such as liposomes of about 100 nm diameter, into the tumor interstitium (Bates D A, Mackillop W J Hyperthermia, adriamycin transport, and cytotoxicity in drug-sensitive and -resistant Chinese hamster ovary cells, Cancer Res (1986) 46:5477-5481, Nagaoka S, Kawasaki Sasaki K, Nakanishi T. Intracellular uptake, retention and cytotoxic effect of adriamycin combined with hyperthermia in vitro. Jpn J Cancer Res (1986) 77:205-211). For these reasons mild hyperthermia is selectively lethal to tumor cells, with the antitumor effect increasing as the temperature increases.
  • Heat sensitive liposomes carry a high concentration of chemotherapeutic agent to solid tumors and the supporting vasculature and release drug locally when heated.
  • Hyperthermia selectively increases liposomal uptake, liposomal permeability, stimulates localized drug release, increases the influx of drug into tumor cells, and increases drug binding to tumor cell DNA (the latter being essential to the mechanism of action of a number of chemotherapeutic agents).
  • liposome formulations capable of delivering therapeutic amounts of active agents in response to mild hyperthermic conditions, i.e., for clinically attainable temperatures in the range 39-45° C.
  • U.S. Pat. No. 6,726,925 describes liposomes that are sensitive to alterations in the temperature of the surrounding environment.
  • the liposomes are loaded with, inter alia, doxorubicin, an approved and frequently used oncology drug for the treatment of a wide range of cancers.
  • the doxorubicin containing liposomal formulation is administered intravenously and in combination with hyperthermia can provide local tumor control and improve quality of life. Localized mild hyperthermia (39.5-45 degrees Celsius) releases the entrapped doxorubicin from the liposome.
  • This delivery technology enables high concentrations of doxorubicin to be deposited preferentially in a targeted tumor.
  • U.S. Pat. No. 7,901,709 describes a method for heat-activated liposomal encapsulation of doxorubicin.
  • WO 2007/024826 describes a method of storing a liposome or nanoparticle formulation including freezing such a formulation.
  • the formulation describes a method of storing liposomes having enhanced stability and storage characteristics.
  • a hyperthermically activated liposomal-drug formulation Key design principles that are required for a hyperthermically activated liposomal-drug formulation to be effective are: 1) near complete encapsulation of active agent to allow the drug to be associated with the liposome in the systemic circulation, 2) a membrane that is engineered to retain drug at normal body temperatures (37° C.) and release drug at mild hyperthermia temperatures 41-43° C.), 3) a membrane composition and particle size that allows the liposome to remain in the systemic circulation long enough to allow the application of a heating modality to trigger the release of the drag to its target, and 4) liposome size that permits its extravasation from the blood stream across leaky tumor micro-vasculature permitting targeting of chemotherapeutic drugs to a tumor site.
  • the present invention solves a persistent problem with drug degradation in doxorubicin liposomal formulation that results in a citrate complex (co-crystal or salt). It has been found that the citrate complex plays a significant role in doxorubicin instability and formation of degradates. More specifically, the formation of 8-desacetyl-8-carboxy daunorubicin and impurity A can be significantly reduced by changing the formation of a citrate complex to a sulfate complex (co-crystal or salt).

  • the liposomes prepared in the previous step were then subjected to a dialysis or diafiltration step exchanging the ammonium sulfate that is external to the liposome with a 10% sucrose solution, forming an ammonium concentration gradient across the liposome membrane (i.e. 200 mM inside, less than 1 mM outside).
  • a 500 mM sodium carbonate solution is then added to the liposomes prepared in the previous step, increasing the external solution to a pH of ⁇ 7.5. It is known (see for example, Mayer L B, Bally M B, Cullis P R., Uptake of adriamyacin into large unilamellar liposomes in response to a pH gradient, Biochimica et Biophysiea Acta 857 (1986) 123-126) that the pH gradient formed across the membrane can effectively, and near quantitatively, promote the loading of an added doxorubicin solution to the internal volume of the liposome at elevated temperatures. Doxorubicin was entrapped within the inner aqueous volumes of liposomes by incubation at 35-39° C.

  • the target total doxorubicin content is between about 1.8 to about 2.2 mg/mL.
  • the drug encapsulation was typically greater than 90%, and showed limited release, e.g. ⁇ 10%, at normal body temperature (i.e. 37° C.), and exhibited enhanced release, typically >80%, at 41.0° C.
  • the volume averaged particle size of the liposomes as measured by dynamic light scattering is between about 50 to about 150 nm.
  • the physicochemical properties of the liposomes formed in the above Example 1 are comparable to a liposomal preparation formed using a conventional buffer. As shown in FIG. 3 , the particle size distribution of ammonium sulfate hydrated liposome is essentially identical to a citrate buffer hydrated liposome.
  • the lipid composition of the liposomal preparation of the present invention is identical to the lipid composition of the liposomal, preparation known in the art.
  • the functionality of the lipid membrane composition is also confirmed by testing the differential drug release at both 37° C. and 41.0° C.

  • the % of doxorubicin encapsulated is calculated by measuring unencapsulated doxorubicin (free Dox), separated by ultrafiltration, and the total doxorubicin in the product. Current studies have shown that greater than 95% encapsulation can b achieved for the ammonium loaded formulation.
  • thermal release properties of each batch % release at 37° C. % release at 41° C., have been very reproducible from batch to batch, and are comparable, as shown in FIG. 8 .
  • the overall size and morphology of the two formulations were also compared using the high resolution technique of tunneling electron microscopy (TEM). Again, the comparison between pH-loaded product produced in a GMP manufacturing facility at the current manufacturing scale ( FIG. 6 ), which is currently being used in Phase III clinical studies, to product made using the NH 4 + -loaded formulation at the laboratory scale at Celsion ( FIG. 7 ) was performed.
  • the liposomes for the two formulations show similar vesicle diameters, predominately unilamellar membranes, and exhibit a classical single crystal inside each liposome, which is attributed to the doxorubicin drug complex formation inside the liposome during the loading step. Overall, the TEMs show that the liposomes generated using either pH or NH 4 + -loading system are quite similar.

  • incorrect levels of DSPE-MPEG or MSPC will adversely affect the extent and rate of release for doxorubicin from these liposomes.
  • the transition temperatures are nearly identical, in conjunction with the comparative DSC scans ( FIGS. 4 and 5 ), leads to the conclusion that the change in the buffer sys em has negligible impact on liposome membrane and, therefore should have negligible impact on its drug release properties.
  • the combined levels of 8-desacetyl-8-carboxy daunorubicin and Impurity A for the NH 4 + -loaded formulations were less than 0.2%, even with four hour incubation times at 35° C.
  • the levels of degradate formation are shown as the initial time point in the stability data shown in FIG. 11 , and correlate well with the doxorubicin values shown in FIG. 10 .
  • Comparative stability data were generated for the pH-loaded and NH 4 + -loaded formulations. While the pH-loaded formulation requires storage at ⁇ 15° C. to ⁇ 30° C., the stability comparison as generated both at ⁇ 20° C. and under accelerated stability condition, i.e., at +5° C. storage.
  • the results of the doxorubicin assay after 739 days showed a loss of ⁇ 4% doxorubicin for the ammonium-loaded formulation. In contrast, the loss of doxorubicin after the same time period was ⁇ 60% for the pH loaded formulation.
  • the loss of doxorubicin assay data is summarized in FIG. 10 and Table 2. The total degradate growth supports the same trend, i.e. significant increase in degradates are observed for the pH-loaded formulation, with very low levels of degradate, growth for the NH 4 + -loaded formulation ( FIG. 11 and Table 2
