Assignee: Helsinn Healthcare SA (Lugano/Pazzallo, CH)
Application Number:16/259,913
Patent Claims: 1. A non-solvated crystalline micronized free-base form of the compound 2-(3,5-bis(trifluoromethyl)phenyl)-N,2-dimethyl-N-(6-(4-methylpiperazin-1- -yl)-4-(o-tolyl)pyridin-3-yl)propenamide having an X-ray powder diffraction pattern comprising the following peak, in terms of 2.theta.: 11.5.degree..+-.0.2.degree..

2. The crystalline form of claim 1, having an X-ray powder diffraction pattern further comprising the following peak, in terms of 2.theta.: 13.1.degree..+-.0.2.degree..

3. A pharmaceutical composition comprising a non-solvated crystalline micronized free-base form of the compound 2-(3,5-bis(trifluoromethyl)phenyl)-N,2-dimethyl-N-(6-(4-methylpiperazin-1- -yl)-4-(o-tolyl)pyri din-3-yl)propanamide, having an X-ray powder diffraction pattern comprising the following peak, in terms of 2.theta.: 11.5.degree..+-.0.2.degree. and one or more pharmaceutically acceptable excipients.

4. The pharmaceutical composition of claim 3, wherein the crystalline form further has an X-ray powder diffraction pattern comprising the following peak, in terms of 2.theta.: 13.1.degree..+-.0.2.degree..
