Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a method for treating primary axillary hyperhidrosis and a pharmaceutical preparation containing a sofpironium bromide for treating, treating, or preventing primary axillary hyperhidrosis.
  • Hyperhidrosis is a large amount of sweating on the palms and soles caused by heat, mental stress, or other causes, which interferes with daily life (for example, documents and notes are torn by sweat, and sweat is a concern. It is a state in which you cannot hold hands with others, you need to change your underwear many times a day, your mobile phone gets wet with sweat and breaks, etc.), which significantly reduces QOL (Non-Patent Document 1).
  • Human sweat glands include eccrine sweat glands and apocrine sweat glands, and the sweat that causes hyperhidrosis is secreted from the eccrine sweat glands (Non-Patent Document 2).
  • Eccrine sweat glands are regulated by cholinergic nerves, and acetylcholine is thought to induce sweating by stimulating M3 type muscarinic receptors located in the postsynaptic membrane of the nerves that control eccrine sweat glands (non-patented). Document 3).
  • Hyperhidrosis is classified into systemic hyperhidrosis and local hyperhidrosis depending on whether the onset site is systemic or part of the body, and local hyperhidrosis often occurs in the palms, soles, and axilla. In addition, it is classified into primary disease with no particular cause and secondary disease caused by complications with other diseases (drug-induced or cardiovascular disease in the systemic system, peripheral neuropathy in the local area, etc.) depending on the pathogenesis. From the above, primary axillary hyperhidrosis can be defined as a condition in which a large amount of sweating occurs in the axilla regardless of a specific cause and interferes with daily life.
  • the severity and therapeutic effect of primary hyperhidrosis are based on subjective symptoms in the following four stages: (1) sweating is not a concern at all and does not interfere with daily life; (2) sweating can be tolerated. However, there are occasional problems with daily life; (3) sweating is almost unbearable and frequently interferes with daily life; (4) sweating is unbearable and always interferes with daily life. It can be judged according to the Disease Severity Scale (HDSS, Strutton et al.). In HDSS, the judgment is made based on the above 4 scores (1) to (4), but since (3) and (4) are considered as severe indicators, the following specification also includes severe primary hyperhidrosis. Hyperhidrosis may refer to the pathology of HDSS scores (3) and (4). In addition, sweating amount measurement such as iodine paper method and weight measurement method is also used for determining the severity and therapeutic effect (Non-Patent Document 1).
  • Non-Patent Document 4 the prevalence of primary axillary hyperhidrosis in Japan is 5.75%, and the average age of onset is 19.5. I'm old. Of these, the rate of consultations with medical institutions for patients with primary local hyperhidrosis, including axillary hyperhidrosis, was 6.3%, and 47.8% of all patients used non-antiperspirant deodorants, which is appropriate. It is a disease that requires the development of a proper treatment environment and awareness of patients.
  • Non-Patent Document 1 the first choice for the treatment of primary axillary hyperhidrosis is simple topical or occlusive dressing (ODT) of aluminum chloride. If this does not work, the second option is intradermal administration of botulinum toxin type A (50 units of Botox® injection).
  • Other options may include surgical therapies such as Endoscopic thoracic sympathectomy (ETS), nerve block, laser therapy, oral anticholinergic therapy, and psychotherapy.
  • ETS Endoscopic thoracic sympathectomy
  • Surgical therapy such as ETS is an irreversible treatment and cannot be easily applied clinically because compensatory sweating that causes abnormal sweating from other sites may occur.
  • Oral therapy with anticholinergic agents causes systemic side effects such as dry mouth, drowsiness, and nausea due to anticholinergic action.
  • Provansign® Tablets 15 mg, which has insurance coverage for hyperhidrosis in Japan, thirst (about 30%), constipation (about 12%), dysuria (about 9%), eyes The frequency of dysuria (about 9%) is relatively high.
  • Oral anticholinergic therapy may not be available in sufficient efficacy due to these side effects.
  • existing treatment methods have problems with invasive and systemic side effects, and there is a need for a drug capable of avoiding these problems.
  • acetylcholine is known as one of the main neurotransmitters in the living body and has various pharmacological actions, and the sweating action by activation of sweat glands is one of them. Therefore, anticholinergic agents are useful in the treatment of hyperhidrosis by inhibiting the action of acetylcholine. Furthermore, by applying an anticholinergic agent externally, side effects associated with oral administration can be alleviated. In addition, side effects that may occur with existing treatments, such as the onset of irritant dermatitis in topical aluminum chloride therapy, or pain during injection when botulinum toxin is administered, and transient muscle weakness, etc. Side effects can be avoided.
  • Soft glycopyrrolate is a derivative of glycopyrrolate, which is an anticholinergic agent, and one of the typical soft glycopyrrolate is sofpironium bromide.
  • the sofpironium bromide has the following formula (I): It is an ester compound represented by (hereinafter, may be referred to as “BBI-4000” or “compound (I)”) and is a bromide salt of quaternary ammonium. So far, an external application preparation of sofpironium bromide and a method for treating hyperhidrosis using the same have been reported.
  • Patent Document 1 discloses that soft glycopyrrolate can be used for the treatment of hyperhidrosis.
  • Patent Document 2 suggests the therapeutic effect of BBI-4000 when applied topically in a subject with axillary hyperhidrosis.
  • Patent Documents 3 and 4 show the safety of locally applied BBI-4000 and its effect on sweat production in subjects with hyperhidrosis (BBI-4000-CL-101 study).

Description

原発性腋窩多汗症の治療方法、及びその医薬Treatment method for primary axillary hyperhidrosis and its medicine
 本発明は、原発性腋窩多汗症の治療方法、及び、原発性腋窩多汗症を処置、治療、又は予防するためのソフピロニウム臭化物を含有する医薬製剤に関する。 The present invention relates to a method for treating primary axillary hyperhidrosis and a pharmaceutical preparation containing a sofpironium bromide for treating, treating, or preventing primary axillary hyperhidrosis.
 多汗症とは、温熱、精神的な負荷又はそれ以外の原因で手掌、足底に大量の発汗が起こり、日常生活での支障(例えば、書類やノートが汗で破れる、汗を気にして他人と手をつなげない、1日に何度も下着を取り替える必要がある、携帯電話が汗で濡れて壊れる等)をきたす状態であり、QOL を著しく低下させる(非特許文献1)。ヒトの汗腺にはエクリン汗腺、アポクリン汗腺が存在し、多汗症の原因となる汗はこのうちエクリン汗腺から分泌される(非特許文献2)。エクリン汗腺はコリン作動性神経により調節されており、アセチルコリンがエクリン汗腺を制御する神経のシナプス後膜に位置するM3型のムスカリン受容体を刺激することにより発汗を誘発すると考えられている(非特許文献3)。 Hyperhidrosis is a large amount of sweating on the palms and soles caused by heat, mental stress, or other causes, which interferes with daily life (for example, documents and notes are torn by sweat, and sweat is a concern. It is a state in which you cannot hold hands with others, you need to change your underwear many times a day, your mobile phone gets wet with sweat and breaks, etc.), which significantly reduces QOL (Non-Patent Document 1). Human sweat glands include eccrine sweat glands and apocrine sweat glands, and the sweat that causes hyperhidrosis is secreted from the eccrine sweat glands (Non-Patent Document 2). Eccrine sweat glands are regulated by cholinergic nerves, and acetylcholine is thought to induce sweating by stimulating M3 type muscarinic receptors located in the postsynaptic membrane of the nerves that control eccrine sweat glands (non-patented). Document 3).
 多汗症は、発症部位が全身的か体の一部かによって全身性多汗症と局所性多汗症に分類され、局所多汗症は手掌、足底、腋窩に生じることが多い。また、病因によって特に原因のない原発性と他の疾患(全身性では薬物性や循環器疾患等、局所性では末梢神経障害等)に合併して起きる続発性に分類される。以上より、原発性腋窩多汗症とは特定の原因によらずに腋窩に大量の発汗が起こり日常生活に支障をきたす状態であると定義できる。 Hyperhidrosis is classified into systemic hyperhidrosis and local hyperhidrosis depending on whether the onset site is systemic or part of the body, and local hyperhidrosis often occurs in the palms, soles, and axilla. In addition, it is classified into primary disease with no particular cause and secondary disease caused by complications with other diseases (drug-induced or cardiovascular disease in the systemic system, peripheral neuropathy in the local area, etc.) depending on the pathogenesis. From the above, primary axillary hyperhidrosis can be defined as a condition in which a large amount of sweating occurs in the axilla regardless of a specific cause and interferes with daily life.
 原発性多汗症の重症度や治療効果は、自覚症状を基にして以下の4段階:(1)発汗はまったく気にならず、日常生活に全く支障がない;(2)発汗は我慢できるが、日常生活に時々支障がある;(3)発汗はほとんど我慢できず、日常生活に頻繁に支障がある;(4)発汗は我慢できず、日常生活に常に支障がある、により分類したHyperhidrosis Disease Severity Scale(HDSS、Struttonら)に従って判定することができる。HDSSでは上記(1)~(4)の4スコアで判定を行うが、(3)及び(4)が重症の指標とされていることから、以下の本明細書においても、重症の原発性多汗症は、HDSSスコアの(3)及び(4)の病態を指す場合がある。他にヨード紙法や重量測定法などの発汗量測定も重症度や治療効果の判定に用いられる(非特許文献1)。 The severity and therapeutic effect of primary hyperhidrosis are based on subjective symptoms in the following four stages: (1) sweating is not a concern at all and does not interfere with daily life; (2) sweating can be tolerated. However, there are occasional problems with daily life; (3) sweating is almost unbearable and frequently interferes with daily life; (4) sweating is unbearable and always interferes with daily life. It can be judged according to the Disease Severity Scale (HDSS, Strutton et al.). In HDSS, the judgment is made based on the above 4 scores (1) to (4), but since (3) and (4) are considered as severe indicators, the following specification also includes severe primary hyperhidrosis. Hyperhidrosis may refer to the pathology of HDSS scores (3) and (4). In addition, sweating amount measurement such as iodine paper method and weight measurement method is also used for determining the severity and therapeutic effect (Non-Patent Document 1).
 2009年から2010年にかけて日本で実施された疫学調査(非特許文献4)(回答数:5807)によると日本の原発性腋窩多汗症の有病率は5.75%であり、平均発症年齢は19.5歳である。そのうち腋窩多汗症を含む原発性局所多汗症患者の医療機関への受診率は6.3%であり、全体の患者の47.8%が制汗作用のないデオドラント剤を使用していることから、適切な治療環境の整備や患者に対する啓発が必要な疾患である。 According to an epidemiological survey conducted in Japan from 2009 to 2010 (Non-Patent Document 4) (number of responses: 5807), the prevalence of primary axillary hyperhidrosis in Japan is 5.75%, and the average age of onset is 19.5. I'm old. Of these, the rate of consultations with medical institutions for patients with primary local hyperhidrosis, including axillary hyperhidrosis, was 6.3%, and 47.8% of all patients used non-antiperspirant deodorants, which is appropriate. It is a disease that requires the development of a proper treatment environment and awareness of patients.
 原発性多汗症ガイドライン2015年改訂版(非特許文献1)によれば、原発性腋窩多汗症治療の第1選択は塩化アルミニウムの単純外用又は密封療法(Occlusive dressing technique, ODT)であり、これで効果がない場合の第2選択はA型ボツリヌス毒素(ボトックス(登録商標)注用50単位)の皮内投与である。その他の選択として、胸腔鏡下胸部交感神経遮断術(Endoscopic thoracic sympathectomy, ETS)等の手術療法や神経ブロック、レーザー療法、抗コリン剤の内服療法、精神(心理)療法が使用される場合もあるが推奨度は低い。 According to the 2015 revised edition of the Guidelines for Primary Hyperhidrosis (Non-Patent Document 1), the first choice for the treatment of primary axillary hyperhidrosis is simple topical or occlusive dressing (ODT) of aluminum chloride. If this does not work, the second option is intradermal administration of botulinum toxin type A (50 units of Botox® injection). Other options may include surgical therapies such as Endoscopic thoracic sympathectomy (ETS), nerve block, laser therapy, oral anticholinergic therapy, and psychotherapy. However, the recommendation level is low.
 しかしながら、上記の既存治療には以下の問題点がある。
 塩化アルミニウムの外用投与は、日本では公的保険の適応でなく、かつ、刺激性皮膚炎が発現する場合があり、これを発症した場合には投薬の休止やステロイド外用剤による治療を要することから長期的な使用が難しい。
 A型ボツリヌス毒素の皮内投与は、複数ヵ所(10~15ヵ所)に1~2 cm間隔で皮内投与するため、痛みを伴う治療である。また、誤投与を防止するためボトックス(登録商標)を使用する医師は実技講習を受ける必要があり、臨床上簡便に用いることができない。
However, the above-mentioned existing treatment has the following problems.
External administration of aluminum chloride is not covered by public insurance in Japan, and irritant dermatitis may develop. If this occurs, medication should be discontinued or treatment with topical steroids is required. Difficult to use for a long time.
Intradermal administration of botulinum toxin type A is a painful treatment because it is administered intradermally to multiple sites (10 to 15 sites) at intervals of 1 to 2 cm. In addition, doctors who use Botox (registered trademark) need to take practical training to prevent erroneous administration, and it cannot be used clinically easily.
 ETS等の手術療法は、不可逆的な治療であり、他の部位から異常発汗が起こる代償性発汗が起きる場合があるため、臨床上簡便に適用することができない。
 抗コリン剤の内服療法は、抗コリン作用に起因する口渇、眠気、悪心等の全身性の副作用が発現する。国内で多汗症に対する保険適応を有するプロ・バンサイン(登録商標)錠15 mgのインタビューフォームによると、口渇(約30%)、便秘(約12%)、排尿障害(約9%)、眼の調節障害(約9%)の発生頻度が比較的高い。抗コリン剤の内服療法では、これらの副作用のために、十分な有効性を発揮できる量を使用できない場合がある。
 以上のように、既存の治療方法には侵襲性及び全身性の副作用に問題があり、これを回避できる薬剤が求められている。
Surgical therapy such as ETS is an irreversible treatment and cannot be easily applied clinically because compensatory sweating that causes abnormal sweating from other sites may occur.
Oral therapy with anticholinergic agents causes systemic side effects such as dry mouth, drowsiness, and nausea due to anticholinergic action. According to an interview form of Provansign® Tablets 15 mg, which has insurance coverage for hyperhidrosis in Japan, thirst (about 30%), constipation (about 12%), dysuria (about 9%), eyes The frequency of dysuria (about 9%) is relatively high. Oral anticholinergic therapy may not be available in sufficient efficacy due to these side effects.
As described above, existing treatment methods have problems with invasive and systemic side effects, and there is a need for a drug capable of avoiding these problems.
 ところで、アセチルコリンは、生体の主要な神経伝達物質の一つとして知られ、多様な薬理作用を有しており、汗腺の活性化による発汗作用もその一つである。したがって、抗コリン剤は、アセチルコリンの作用を阻害することで多汗症の治療に有用である。さらに、抗コリン剤を外用塗布することで、経口投与に伴う副作用を緩和しうる。加えて、既存治療法で発生する可能性のある副作用、即ち、塩化アルミニウム外用療法における刺激性皮膚炎の発症、あるいは、ボツリヌス毒素の投与時の注射時痛、及び、一過性の筋力低下などの副作用を回避することができる。 By the way, acetylcholine is known as one of the main neurotransmitters in the living body and has various pharmacological actions, and the sweating action by activation of sweat glands is one of them. Therefore, anticholinergic agents are useful in the treatment of hyperhidrosis by inhibiting the action of acetylcholine. Furthermore, by applying an anticholinergic agent externally, side effects associated with oral administration can be alleviated. In addition, side effects that may occur with existing treatments, such as the onset of irritant dermatitis in topical aluminum chloride therapy, or pain during injection when botulinum toxin is administered, and transient muscle weakness, etc. Side effects can be avoided.
 多汗症の治療に有用な外用塗布用の抗コリン剤としては、ソフトグリコピロレートが挙げられる(特許文献1)。ソフトグリコピロレートは、抗コリン剤であるグリコピロレートの誘導体であり、代表的なソフトグリコピロレートの一つとして、ソフピロニウム臭化物がある。 As an anticholinergic agent for external application useful for the treatment of hyperhidrosis, soft glycopyrrolate can be mentioned (Patent Document 1). Soft glycopyrrolate is a derivative of glycopyrrolate, which is an anticholinergic agent, and one of the typical soft glycopyrrolate is sofpironium bromide.
 ソフピロニウム臭化物は、下記式(I):

Patent Documents 3 and 4 show the safety of locally applied BBI-4000 and its effect on sweat production in subjects with hyperhidrosis (BBI-4000-CL-101 study).
 しかしながら、これまで、有効成分としてソフピロニウム臭化物を含有する外用塗布するための医薬製剤において、原発性腋窩多汗症の重症度に即した治療方法やその医薬については開示も示唆もない。 However, until now, there has been no disclosure or suggestion of a therapeutic method or a drug for external application containing sofpironium bromide as an active ingredient, which is suitable for the severity of primary axillary hyperhidrosis.

 無水クエン酸濃度が0.001w/w%の比較例2と比較例3の製剤は、調液時のpHは6.1~5.9であり、室温下で保存した場合、pHは経時的に変動した。
 無水クエン酸濃度が0.001w/w%の比較例3の製剤は、室温下で12か月保存すると顕著に粘度が低下した(-76%)。一方、無水クエン酸濃度が0.05w/w%の実施例5、6の製剤は、調液後のpHが5.2以下に維持されており、粘度の経時的な変動は僅かであった。
 したがって、調液してからpHが5.2以下に維持されるソフピロニウム臭化物製剤は、経時的な粘度の低下を抑制することができる。
 特に、本試験により、室温で製剤が保存された場合において、調液してから6か月目までのいずれかの時点のpHが2.5から5.2の製剤が好ましいことが明らかとなった。例えば、室温で製剤が保存された場合の、調液してから1か月目、3か月目、又は6か月目のpHが2.5から5.2の範囲内である製剤が好ましい。
The formulations of Comparative Example 2 and Comparative Example 3 having an anhydrous citric acid concentration of 0.001 w / w% had a pH of 6.1 to 5.9 at the time of preparation, and the pH fluctuated with time when stored at room temperature.
The formulation of Comparative Example 3 having an anhydrous citric acid concentration of 0.001 w / w% significantly decreased in viscosity (-76%) when stored at room temperature for 12 months. On the other hand, in the formulations of Examples 5 and 6 having an anhydrous citric acid concentration of 0.05 w / w%, the pH after preparation was maintained at 5.2 or less, and the change in viscosity with time was slight.
Therefore, the sofpironium bromide preparation whose pH is maintained at 5.2 or less after the liquid is prepared can suppress the decrease in viscosity with time.
In particular, this test revealed that when the preparation is stored at room temperature, the preparation having a pH of 2.5 to 5.2 at any time up to 6 months after the liquid preparation is preferable. For example, when the preparation is stored at room temperature, the preparation having a pH in the range of 2.5 to 5.2 at 1 month, 3 months, or 6 months after preparation is preferable.
<純度試験> 
 実施例5と実施例6の製剤の長期保存試験(25℃±2℃/60%RH±5%RH、遮光)において、調液してから24か月目まで純度試験(類縁物質)を実施した。実施例5において、24か月目にシクロペンチルマンデル酸エチルのHPLCピークがごく僅かに観察された。実施例6においては、調液してから保存期間中に類縁物質の増加及び新たな類縁物質の出現は認められなかった。これらの結果から、実施例5と実施例6の製剤が長期保存試験において安定であることが示された。
<Purity test>
In the long-term storage test (25 ° C ± 2 ° C / 60% RH ± 5% RH, shading) of the formulations of Examples 5 and 6, a purity test (related substance) was carried out until 24 months after the liquid was prepared. bottom. In Example 5, a very slight HPLC peak of ethyl cyclopentyl mandelate was observed at 24 months. In Example 6, no increase in related substances and appearance of new related substances were observed during the storage period after the liquid was prepared. From these results, it was shown that the formulations of Example 5 and Example 6 are stable in the long-term storage test.
 以上のように、保存温度等の試験条件によらず、実施例5と実施例6で示されたように、pHが5.2以下に維持されるソフピロニウム臭化物製剤は、長期間にわたり不純物増加がみられず、かつ、粘度の低下が抑制されることが明らかとなった。 As described above, as shown in Examples 5 and 6, the sofpironium bromide preparation whose pH is maintained at 5.2 or less shows an increase in impurities over a long period of time regardless of the test conditions such as the storage temperature. However, it was clarified that the decrease in viscosity was suppressed.
