DESC:The following specification describes particularly the invention and in the manner in which it is to be performed: 2 INTRODUCTION Aspects of the present application relate to solid forms of abrocitinib and pharmaceutical compositions thereof. Specific aspects relate to the crystalline form, amorphous form and amorphous solid dispersion of abrocitinib and processes for their preparation. The drug compound having the adopted name “Abrocitinib” is a Janus kinase (JAK) inhibitor having a chemical name N-((1s,3s)-3-(methyl(7Hpyrrolo[ 2,3-d]pyrimidin-4-yl)amino)cyclobutyl)propane-1-sulfonamide and the structure as below. Abrocitinib” is a Janus kinase (JAK) inhibitor indicated for the treatment of adults with refractory, moderate-to-severe atopic dermatitis whose disease is not adequately controlled with other systemic drug products, including biologics, or when use of those therapies is inadvisable. US 9035074 B2 discloses abrocitinib, its pharmaceutically acceptable salts and pharmaceutical formulations. Further, WO2020008391A1discloses crystalline form of abrocitinib and process for its preparation. WO2020261041 A1 discloses crystalline form of abrocitinib and process for its preparation. Also covers amorphous solid dispersion of abrocitinib. WO 2021218948 A1 discloses crystalline forms of abrocitinib and processes for their preparation. The existence and possible numbers of polymorphic forms for a given compound cannot be predicted, and there are no “standard” procedures that can be used to prepare polymorphic forms of a substance. However, new forms of a 3 pharmaceutically useful compound may provide an opportunity to improve the performance characteristics of pharmaceutical products. Further, discovery of additional polymorphic forms, including solvate polymorphs, may help in the identification of the polymorphic content of a batch of an active pharmaceutical ingredient. For example, in some cases, different forms of the same drug can exhibit very different solubility and different dissolution rates. The discovery of new polymorphic forms enlarges selection of materials with which formulation scientists can design a pharmaceutically acceptable dosage form of a drug with a targeted release profile or other desired characteristics. Therefore, there remains a need for preparing new and stable polymorphic forms of abrocitinib which can overcome the disadvantages of the prior art and their preparation in a more cost effective and industrially viable manner. Amorphous solid dispersions of drugs are generally known to improve the stability and solubility of drug products. However, such dispersions are generally unstable over time. Amorphous solid dispersions of drugs tend to convert to crystalline forms over time, which can lead to improper dosing due to differences of the solubility of crystalline drug material compared to amorphous drug material. The present invention, however provides stable amorphous solid dispersions of abrocitinib. Moreover, the present invention provides solid dispersions of abrocitinib which may be reproduced easily and is amenable for processing into a dosage form.

In another aspect, the present application provides a crystalline form RT-5 8 of abrocitinib, further characterized by a PXRD pattern comprising the peaks at about 27.9, and 31.3 ± 0.2° 2?. In an aspect, the present application provides a pharmaceutical composition comprising amorphous form of abrocitinib and one or more pharmaceutically acceptable excipients. In an aspect, the present application provides a solid dispersion comprising amorphous form of abrocitinib and one or more pharmaceutically acceptable carriers. Solid dispersion as used herein refers to the dispersion of one or more active ingredients in an inert excipient or polymer or carrier, where the active ingredients could exist in finely crystalline, solubilized or amorphous state (Sareen et al., 2012 and Kapoor et al., 2012). Solid dispersion consists of two or more components, generally a polymer or carrier and drug optionally along with stabilizing agent (and/or surfactant or other additives). The most important role of the added polymer or carrier or excipient in solid dispersion is to reduce the molecular mobility of the drug to avoid the phase separation and re-crystallization of drug during storage. The resulting solid dispersions may have increased solubility. The increase in solubility of the drug in solid dispersion is mainly because drug remains in amorphous form which is associated with a higher energy state as compared to crystalline counterpart and due to that it requires very less external energy to dissolve. A solid dispersion is a molecular dispersion of a compound, particularly a drug substance within a polymer or carrier. Formation of a molecular dispersion provides a means of reducing the particle size to nearly molecular levels (i.e. there are no particles). As the carrier dissolves, the drug is exposed to the dissolution media as fine particles that are amorphous, which can dissolve and be absorbed more rapidly than larger particles. In general, the term "solid dispersion" refers to a system in a solid state comprising at least two components, wherein one component is dispersed throughout the other component or components. The term "solid dispersion" as used herein, refers to stable solid dispersions comprising amorphous drug substance and one or more polymers or carriers. Further the term "solid dispersion" as used herein also refers to stable solid dispersions comprising amorphous drug substance and one or 9 more polymers or carriers with or without adsorbent/absorbent. By "amorphous drug substance," it is meant that the amorphous solid contains drug substance in a substantially amorphous solid state form i.e. at least about 80% of the drug substance in the dispersion is in an amorphous form. More preferably at least about 90% and most preferably at least about 95% of the drug substance in the dispersion is in amorphous form. The solid dispersion of abrocitinib of the present invention can be made by any of the numerous methods that result in a solid dispersion comprising amorphous abrocitinib. Several approaches can be used for the preparation of solid dispersion which includes spray drying, lyophilization, fusion method, solvent evaporation, hotmelt extrusion, ball milling, particle size reduction, supercritical fluid (SCF) processes, kneading, inclusion complexes, electrostatic spinning method, melt crystallization and surface-active carriers. Abrocitinib can be incorporated in the dispersion in amorphous state. The dispersing agent is typically composed of a pharmaceutically acceptable substance that does not substantially interfere with the pharmaceutical action of Abrocitinib. The phrase "pharmaceutically acceptable" is employed herein to refer to those substances which are, within the scope of sound medical judgment, suitable for use in contact with the tissues of human beings and animals without excessive toxicity, irritation, allergic response, or other problem or complication, commensurate with a reasonable benefit/risk ratio. In some embodiments, the carrier is a solid at room temperature. Non-limiting examples of suitable polymers or excipients or pharmaceutically acceptable carriers are celluloses (e.g., carboxymethylcelluloses, methylcelluloses, hydroxypropylcelluloses, hydroxypropylmethylcelluloses); polysaccharides, heteropolysaccharides (pectins); poloxamers; poloxamines; ethylene vinyl acetates; polyethylene glycols; dextrans; polyvinylpyrrolidones; chitosans; polyvinylalcohols; propylene glycols; polyvinylacetates; phosphatidylcholines (lecithins); miglyols; polylactic acid; polyhydroxybutyric acid; mixtures of two or more thereof, copolymers thereof, derivatives thereof, and the like. Further examples of carriers include copolymer systems such as polyethylene 10 glycol-polylactic acid (PEG-PLA), polyethylene glycol-polyhydroxybutyric acid (PEG-PHB), polyvinylpyrrolidone-polyvinylalcohol (PVP-PVA), and derivatized copolymers such as copolymers of N-vinyl purine (or pyrimidine) derivatives and Nvinylpyrrolidone. An enteric coating polymer can also be used according to the present invention. Specific examples of the enteric coating polymers include cellulose acetate phthalate, cellulose acetate trimellitate, cellulose acetate succinate, hydroxymethylcellulose ethyl phthalate, hydroxypropylmethylcellulose phthalate, eudragit, hydroxypropylmethylcellulose acetate succinate, hydroxypropylmethyl acetate maleate, hydroxypropylmethyl trimellitate, carboxymethylethylcellulose, polyvinyl butyrate phthalate, polyvinyl alcohol acetate phthalate, methacrylic acid/ethyl acrylate copolymer, and methacrylic acid/methyl methacrylate copolymer, hydroxypropyl methylcellulose phthalate, hydroxypropylmethylcellulose acetate succinate (HPMCAS), hydroxypropylmethyl acetate maleate and hydroxypropylmethyl trimellitate.
