    [0176] In certain embodiments, component (i) is formulated as a wet granulated solid preparation. In certain of these embodiments an internal phase of ingredients (the chemical entity, disintegrant, and diluent) are combined and mixed in a high-shear granulator. A binder (e.g., povidone) is dissolved in water to form a granulating solution. This solution is added to the Inner Phase mixture resulting in the development of granules. While not wishing to be bound by theory, granule development is believed to be facilitated by the interaction of the polymeric binder with the materials of the internal phase. Once the granulation is formed and dried, an external phase (e.g., one or more lubricants—not an intrinsic component of the dried granulation), is added to the dry granulation. It is believed that lubrication of the granulation is important to the flowability of the granulation, in particular for packaging. See, e.g., Example 8.

    [0197] Ready-to-use” enemas are generally be provided in a “single-use” sealed disposable container of plastic or glass. Those formed of a polymeric material preferably have sufficient flexibility for ease of use by an unassisted patient. Typical plastic containers can be made of polyethylene. These containers may comprise a tip for direct introduction into the rectum. Such containers may also comprise a tube between the container and the tip. The tip is preferably provided with a protective shield which is removed before use. Optionally the tip has a lubricant to improve patient compliance.

    [0198] In some embodiments, the enema formulation (e.g., suspension) is poured into a bottle for delivery after it has been prepared in a separate container. In certain embodiments, the bottle is a plastic bottle (e.g., flexible to allow for delivery by squeezing the bottle), which can be a polyethylene bottle (e.g., white in color). In some embodiments, the bottle is a single chamber bottle, which contains the suspension or solution. In other embodiments, the bottle is a multichamber bottle, where each chamber contains a separate mixture or solution. In still other embodiments, the bottle can further include a tip or rectal cannula for direct introduction into the rectum. In some embodiments, the enema formulation can be delivered in the device shown in FIGS. 5A-5C, which includes a plastic bottle, a breakable capsule, and a rectal cannula and single flow pack.

    [0199] Oral Delivery

    [0200] In other embodiments, the chemical entities described herein or a pharmaceutical composition thereof are suitable for local delivery to the digestive or GI tract by way of oral administration (e.g., solid or liquid dosage forms).

    [0201] Solid dosage forms for oral administration include capsules, tablets, pills, powders, and granules. In such solid dosage forms, the chemical entity is mixed with one or more pharmaceutically acceptable excipients, such as sodium citrate or dicalcium phosphate and/or: a) fillers or extenders such as starches, lactose, sucrose, glucose, mannitol, and silicic acid, b) binders such as, for example, carboxymethylcellulose, alginates, gelatin, polyvinylpyrrolidinone, sucrose, and acacia, c) humectants such as glycerol, d) disintegrating agents such as agar-agar, calcium carbonate, potato or tapioca starch, alginic acid, certain silicates, and sodium carbonate, e) solution retarding agents such as paraffin, f) absorption accelerators such as quaternary ammonium compounds, g) wetting agents such as, for example, cetyl alcohol and glycerol monostearate, h) absorbents such as kaolin and bentonite clay, and i) lubricants such as talc, calcium stearate, magnesium stearate, solid polyethylene glycols, sodium lauryl sulfate, and mixtures thereof. In the case of capsules, tablets and pills, the dosage form may also comprise buffering agents. Solid compositions of a similar type may also be employed as fillers in soft and hard-filled gelatin capsules using such excipients as lactose or milk sugar as well as high molecular weight polyethylene glycols and the like.

    [0202] In one embodiment, the compositions will take the form of a unit dosage form such as a pill or tablet and thus the composition may contain, along with a chemical entity provided herein, a diluent such as lactose, sucrose, dicalcium phosphate, or the like; a lubricant such as magnesium stearate or the like; and a binder such as starch, gum acacia, polyvinylpyrrolidine, gelatin, cellulose, cellulose derivatives or the like. In another solid dosage form, a powder, marume, solution or suspension (e.g., in propylene carbonate, vegetable oils, PEG's, poloxamer 124 or triglycerides) is encapsulated in a capsule (gelatin or cellulose base capsule). Unit dosage forms in which one or more chemical entities provided herein or additional active agents are physically separated are also contemplated; e.g., capsules with granules (or tablets in a capsule) of each drug; two-layer tablets; two-compartment gel caps, etc. Enteric coated or delayed release oral dosage forms are also contemplated.

    [0203] Other physiologically acceptable compounds include wetting agents, emulsifying agents, dispersing agents or preservatives that are particularly useful for preventing the growth or action of microorganisms. Various preservatives are well known and include, for example, phenol and ascorbic acid.

    [0204] In certain embodiments the excipients are sterile and generally free of undesirable matter. These compositions can be sterilized by conventional, well-known sterilization techniques. For various oral dosage form excipients such as tablets and capsules sterility is not required. The USP/NF standard is usually sufficient.

    [0205] In certain embodiments, solid oral dosage forms can further include one or more components that chemically and/or structurally predispose the composition for delivery of the chemical entity to the stomach or the lower GI; e.g., the ascending colon and/or transverse colon and/or distal colon and/or small bowel. Exemplary formulation techniques are described in, e.g., Filipski, K. J., et al., Current Topics in Medicinal Chemistry, 2013, 13, 776-802, which is incorporated herein by reference in its entirety.

    [0206] Examples include upper-GI targeting techniques, e.g., Accordion Pill (Intec Pharma), floating capsules, and materials capable of adhering to mucosal walls.

    [0207] Other examples include lower-GI targeting techniques. For targeting various regions in the intestinal tract, several enteric/pH-responsive coatings and excipients are available. These materials are typically polymers that are designed to dissolve or erode at specific pH ranges, selected based upon the GI region of desired drug release. These materials also function to protect acid labile drugs from gastric fluid or limit exposure in cases where the active ingredient may be irritating to the upper GI (e.g., hydroxypropyl methylcellulose phthalate series, Coateric (polyvinyl acetate phthalate), cellulose acetate phthalate, hydroxypropyl methylcellulose acetate succinate, Eudragit series(methacrylic acid-methyl methacrylate copolymers), and Marcoat). Other techniques include dosage forms that respond to local flora in the GI tract, Pressure-controlled colon delivery capsule, and Pulsincap.

    [0208] Liquid dosage forms for oral administration include pharmaceutically acceptable emulsions, microemulsions, solutions, suspensions, syrups and elixirs. In addition to the chemical entities described herein, the liquid dosage forms may contain inert diluents commonly used in the art such as, for example, water or other solvents, solubilizing agents and emulsifiers such as ethyl alcohol, isopropyl alcohol, ethyl carbonate, ethyl acetate, benzyl alcohol, benzyl benzoate, propylene glycol, 1,3-butylene glycol, dimethylformamide, oils (in particular, cottonseed, groundnut, corn, germ, olive, castor, and sesame oils), glycerol, tetrahydrofurfuryl alcohol, polyethylene glycols and fatty acid esters of sorbitan, and mixtures thereof. Besides inert diluents, the oral compositions can also include adjuvants such as wetting agents, emulsifying and suspending agents, sweetening, flavoring, and perfuming agents. In certain embodiments, the liquid dosage form is a mouthwash. In certain embodiments, such liquid oral dosage forms are useful for local and topical administration to the digestive or GI tract, e.g., digestive tract, e.g., oral cavity.

    [0209] Other Forms of Delivery

    [0210] In some embodiments, the chemical entities described herein or a pharmaceutical composition thereof are suitable for local and topical administration to the eye (e.g., eye drops). Ocular compositions can include, without limitation, one or more of any of the following: viscogens (e.g., Carboxymethylcellulose, Glycerin, Polyvinylpyrrolidone, Polyethylene glycol); Stabilizers (e.g., Pluronic (triblock copolymers), Cyclodextrins); Preservatives (e.g., Benzalkonium chloride, ETDA, SofZia (boric acid, propylene glycol, sorbitol, and zinc chloride; Alcon Laboratories, Inc.), Purite (stabilized oxychloro complex; Allergan, Inc.)).

    [0211] In some embodiments, the chemical entities described herein or a pharmaceutical composition thereof are suitable for local and topical administration to skin (e.g., ointments and creams). Ointments are semisolid preparations that are typically based on petrolatum or other petroleum derivatives. Creams containing the selected active agent are typically viscous liquid or semisolid emulsions, often either oil-in-water or water-in-oil. Cream bases are typically water-washable, and contain an oil phase, an emulsifier and an aqueous phase. The oil phase, also sometimes called the “internal” phase, is generally comprised of petrolatum and a fatty alcohol such as cetyl or stearyl alcohol; the aqueous phase usually, although not necessarily, exceeds the oil phase in volume, and generally contains a humectant. The emulsifier in a cream formulation is generally a nonionic, anionic, cationic or amphoteric surfactant. As with other carriers or vehicles, an ointment base should be inert, stable, nonirritating and non-sensitizing.

    [0212] Dosages

    [0213] The dosages may be varied depending on the requirement of the patient, the severity of the condition being treating and the particular compound being employed. Determination of the proper dosage for a particular situation can be determined by one skilled in the medical arts. The total daily dosage may be divided and administered in portions throughout the day or by means providing continuous delivery.

    EXAMPLES

    Example 1: Preparation of Enema Formulation Components

    [1035] The liquid carrier shown in Table E1 below were prepared according to the following procedure. Propyl 4-hydroxybenzoate and methyl 4-hydroxybenzoate were dissolved in hot water. The solution was allowed to cool to room temperature, and additional water was added to compensate water loss due to evaporation that occurred in the prior step. The sodium salts were added and dissolved under stirring for 10 minutes (pH: 6.5-7.5). Methylcellulose and povidone were dispersed using a turbomixer (9000 rpm, 30′). The preparation was allowed to stand for several hours to let foam decant. Typically, the preparation of the liquid carrier was not stored and used immediately. However, when stored, the liquid carriers were stored in 500 mL polyethylene bottles. The liquid carrier exhibited the properties shown in Table E1.

    Example 2: Phase 1/2a Clinical Study of Niclosamide Enema in Subjects with Mild-to-Moderate UP or UPS with Inadequate Response to 5-ASA

    [1037] This example describes a Phase 1/2a multi-center, open-label, single-arm, sequential cohort study aimed at evaluating safety, efficacy, and the pharmacokinetics of Niclosamide Enema in subjects with mild-to-moderate ulcerative proctitis (UP) and ulcerative proctosigmoiditis (UPS).

    [1038] As used in this example, Niclosamide Enema refers to the formulation described in Example 1.

    Study Design

    [1039] FIG. 1 schematically describes the design of the clinical study.

    Inclusion Criteria

    [1040] 1) Diagnosis of ulcerative proctitis (UP) or proctosigmoiditis (UPS) at least 3 months prior to treatment; [1041] 2) Mild-to-moderate disease activity, defined as composite score (modified Mayo score) ≥4 to <8; and [1042] 3) Inadequate response to first-line therapy, 5-ASAs.

    Dosing

    [1043] Stage 1: 17 subjects were dosed with 150 mg of Niclosamide Enema (i.e., 150 mg niclosamide) per the rectum (PR) twice daily for 6 weeks. [1044] Stage 2: 8 subjects are dosed with 450 mg of Niclosamide Enema PR twice daily for 6 weeks. [1045] Stage 3: 17 subjects are dosed with 900 mg of Niclosamide Enema PR once daily for 6 weeks.

    Assessment Criteria

    [1046] Safety [1047] Pharmacokinetics [1048] Symptom scores (stool frequency, rectal bleeding) [1049] Endoscopy, with intestinal mucosal biopsies for histologic assessment, cytokine expression

    Results

    [1050] Safety Tolerability: All 17 subjects in Stage 1 completed the 6-week treatment period. Treatment-emergent adverse event (TEAE) was reported in 35% of the subjects (6/17 subjects). TEAE was mild in 5 of the 6 subjects. In all 17 subjects, no serious or drug-related TEAEs were reported. No discontinuations resulting from TEAEs were reported.

    [1051] Efficacy: Clinical remission (MMS≤2 with no individual subscore >1) was reported for 59% of the subjects (10/17 subjects). Clinical response (decrease in MMS≥2; decrease in MMS≥25%; decrease in RBS≥1; and RBS=0 or 1) was reported for 65% of the subjects (11/17 subjects). 58% of the subjects (7/12 subjects) exhibited endoscopic remission (modified endoscopic subscore of 0 or 1, infra, Table E3). Further, 67% of the subjects (4/6 subjects) with baseline fecal calprotectin (FC)>250 μg/g showed FC<250 μg/g at week 6. Additional details are provided in Table E3.

    [1052] Post-Hoc Analysis of Histologic Improvements and Endoscopic Mucosal Healing Histologic remission has been consistently associated with lower rates of relapse, corticosteroid dependence, hospitalization, and colorectal cancer than endoscopic remission alone in observational studies (see Am. J. Gastroenterol. 2019; 144:733 which is incorporated herein by reference in its entirety). Following Stage 1 treatment, members of the 17 subjects who did not meet the criteria for histologic improvement or endoscopic healing at baseline were analyzed for histologic improvement (by Geboes Score) and endoscopic mucosal healing. The basis for the post-hoc analysis and findings are summarized in Table E4. FIG. 2 shows the Geboes Score of subjects achieving clinical remission at week 6 relative to the baseline values

    TABLE-US-00013 TABLE E4 Post-Hoc Analyses Assessment Basis Finding Histologic Defined as “histologic healing” in Sands 50% improvement NEJM 2019 and “histologic improvement” (7/14) in Li J. Crohn's Colitis 2019; Excludes subjects meeting criteria for histologic improvement at baseline Endoscopic Defined as in Sands NEJM 2019; Excludes 40% mucosal subjects meeting criteria for endoscopic (6/15) healing healing at baseline

    [1053] In addition, 13 of the 17 Stage 1 subjects were analyzed for the expression of colonic mucosal cytokines TNF, IL-12, IFNγ, IL-17, IL-23, IL-22, IL-5, IL-13, and MMP3. FIG. 3 provides a heat-map of the expression of cytokines in subjects treated with Niclosamide Enema compared to the expression level of these subjects at the baseline. As can be seen, decreased levels of inflammatory cytokines were observed in the colonic mucosa of each subject.

    [1054] Overall, changes in MMS, histology, and/or cytokine expression were observed in 16 of 17 the subjects for Stage 1. As illustrated by FIG. 4, the 10 subjects in clinical remission exhibited decreases in MMS; and decreases in MMS were also observed for 3 of the 7 subjects that did not show clinical remission. While the remaining 4 subjects did not show observable improvements in MMS following treatment for 6 weeks, 3 of these 4 subjects exhibited decreases in histologic score and decreases in mucosal cytokine expression (see Table E5).

    TABLE-US-00014 TABLE E5 Histologic Score and Mucosal Cytokine Expression in Stage 1 Subjects that did not Exhibit Improvements in MMS Subject ΔHistology ΔIFNγ ΔIL-17 ΔIL-23 ΔTNFα 58 yo (Woman UPS) 5.3 .fwdarw. 3.1 −72% −66% −86% −72% 34 yo (Man UPS) 5.2 .fwdarw. 4.3 −35% −26%    9% −37% 40 yo (Woman UP) 5.2 .fwdarw. 5.1  −8% −15%   20% −38% 26 yo (Woman UPS) 3.1 .fwdarw. 5.3  −5% −12%   21%   34%

    [1055] Without wishing to be bound by theory, it is believed that changes in proinflammatory cytokines and histology precede mucosal healing, suggesting that higher rates of remission may be achieved with a longer duration of treatment.
