Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a dosage form comprising a tablet core containing at least one active ingredient and having at least one modified release coating that partially surrounds the tablet core.
  • the tablet core is preferably in the form of a compressed core wherein at least one modified release coating is provided on a portion of the exterior surface of the compressed core using dipping technology.
  • the invention also relates to a method of manufacturing the dosage form and a method of treatment using the dosage form.
  • Modified release pharmaceutical dosage forms have long been used to optimize drug delivery and enhance patient compliance, especially by reducing the number of doses of medicine the patient must take in a day. In some instances, it is also desirable for a dosage form to deliver more than one drug at different rates or times. Modified release dosage forms should ideally be adaptable so that release rates and profiles can be matched to physiological requirements.
  • onset and duration of the therapeutic efficacy of drugs vary widely, as do their absorption, distribution, metabolism, and elimination, it is often desirable to modify the release of different drugs in different ways, or to have a first dose of drug immediately released from the dosage form, while a second dose of the same or a different drug is released in a modified, e.g., delayed, pulsatile, repeat action, controlled, pH dependent, sustained, prolonged, extended, or retarded manner.
  • modified release dosage forms provide a desired blood concentration versus time (pharmacokinetic, or PK) profile for the drug.
  • PK profile for a drug is dependent on the rate of absorption of the drug into the blood, and the rate of elimination of the drug from the blood. To be absorbed into the blood (circulatory system), the drug must first be dissolved in the gastrointestinal fluids.
  • controlling the rate of dissolution allows the formulator to control the rate of drug absorption into the circulatory system of a patient.
  • the type of PK profile, and correspondingly, the type of dissolution or release profile desired depends on, among other factors, the particular active ingredient and physiological condition being treated.
  • One particularly desirable PK profile is achieved by a dosage form that delivers a delayed release dissolution profile, in which the release of one or more doses of drug from the dosage form is delayed for a pre-determined time after contacting of the dosage form by a liquid medium, such as for example, by the gastro-intestinal fluid after ingestion by the patient.
  • the delay period (“lag time") can be followed either by prompt release of the active ingredient ("delayed burst"), or by sustained (prolonged, extended, or retarded) release of the active ingredient ("delayed then sustained”).
  • U.S. Patent No. 5,464,633 to Jagotec discloses delayed-release dosage forms consisting of a core containing an active and polymeric substances and an external layer completely coating the core in which the external coating layer is applied by a compression coating process.
  • One particularly desirable type of delayed release PK profile is obtained from a "pulsatile" release profile, in which for example, a first dose of a drug is delivered, followed by a delay period ("lag time") during which there is substantially no release of the drug from the dosage form, followed by either prompt or sustained release of a subsequent dose of the same drug.
  • a first dose of a drug is delivered, followed by a delay period ("lag time") during which there is substantially no release of the drug from the dosage form, followed by either prompt or sustained release of a subsequent dose of the same drug.
  • the first dose is released essentially immediately upon contacting of the dosage form with a liquid medium and the delay period corresponds approximately to the time during which a therapeutic concentration of the first dose is maintained in the blood.
  • Pulsatile delivery systems are particularly useful for applications where a continuous release of drug is not ideal.
  • Examples of this are drugs exhibiting first pass metabolism by the liver, drugs that induce biological tolerance, i.e., the therapeutic effect decreases with continuous presence of the drug at the site of action, and drugs whose efficacy is influenced by circadian rhythms of body functions or disease.
  • One typical pulsatile dosage form design contains the first dose of drug in an exterior coating, or shell, while subsequent doses of drug are contained in underlying layers of subcoatings, or a central core.
  • Pulsatile dosage forms may deliver an active ingredient in a pH dependent or pH independent manner. pH dependent types of dosage forms typically deliver the active ingredient through the addition of a pH dependent polymer, such as an enteric or reverse-enteric polymer.
  • PCT Publication No. W099/62496 to Alza discloses a dosage form comprising an immediate-release dose of drug contained within an overcoat applied onto a surface of a semi-permeable coating of an osmotic dosage form.
  • U.S. Patents Nos. 4,857,330 and 4,801,461 to Alza disclose dosage forms comprising an exterior drug coat that surrounds a semi-permeable wall, which in turn surrounds an internal compartment containing a second dose of drug, and comprises exit means for connecting the interior of the dosage form with the exterior environment of use. These dosage forms are designed to release drug immediately from the exterior coating, followed by a relatively short delay period, followed by a sustained release of drug from the internal compartment.
  • U.S. Patent No. 4,865,849 to Pharmidea discloses a tablet that releases active substances at successive times, comprising a first layer containing a portion of the active substance, a water soluble or water gellable barrier layer, and a third layer containing the remaining portion of active substance, wherein the barrier layer and the third layer are in an insoluble, low-permeable casing.
  • the casing can be applied by various methods such as spraying, compression, or immersion, or the tablet parts can be inserted into a pre-formed casing.
  • U.S. Patent No. 4,839,177 to Jagotec discloses a system for the controlled release of active substances, consisting of: (a) a deposit-core; and (b) a support-platform applied to the deposit-core.
  • the deposit-core contains active substance and a polymeric material having a high degree of swelling on contact with water or aqueous liquids, a gellable polymeric material, and other adjuvants able to provide the mixture with suitable characteristics for its compression and for its intake of water.
  • U.S. Patent No. 6,126,767 to Perrigo discloses a capsule medicament consisting of a solid core covered with two shrink-wrapped, hard-shell gelatin capsule halves.
  • the solid core is covered with the hard-shell gelatin capsule halves by individually shrink- wrapping onto first one end of the core a first hard-shell gelatin capsule half and then individually shrink-wrapping onto a second end of the core a second hard-shell gelatin capsule half.
  • the capsule medicament is designed for immediate release of the active ingredient.
  • U.S. Patent No. 6,113,945 to Perrigo discloses a caplet or tablet core with a clear or single color uniform covering that is applied either through an enrobing process, by spraying or by a single dip-coating step.
  • the core itself can have a first color or be colorless, and its clear or single color covering has the outer surface of one end or one side colored by a dye to provide a two-color appearance.
  • the dye can be applied by dipping or spray painting with a jet-spraying apparatus.
  • compositions for controlled delivery of at least one active substance comprising a first cellulose derivative which has thermoplastic properties and which is substantially insoluble in an aqueous medium in which the composition is to be used, and at least one of a second cellulose derivative which is soluble or dispersible in water, a plasticizer, and a filler.
  • U.S. Patent Publication No. 20030070584 to McNeil discloses a water soluble, gelatin-free dip coating for pharmaceutical solid dosage forms such as tablets comprising HPMC and xanthan gum, carrageenan, and mixtures thereof, or HPMC and castor oil or maltodextrin.
  • U.S. Patent No. 20080166407 to Shalaby et al. discloses multifunctional, single, bilayer, and trilayer coated tablets for combination therapy wherein the bioactive agents responsible for the therapeutic multifunctionality are present as a combination of a gastric acid-reducing agent, such as omeprazole and ranitidine, and at least one analgesic/anti-inflammatory agent, such as acetaminophen, naproxen sodium, ibuprofen, tolmetin, and aspirin.
  • a gastric acid-reducing agent such as omeprazole and ranitidine
  • analgesic/anti-inflammatory agent such as acetaminophen, naproxen sodium, ibuprofen, tolmetin, and aspirin.
  • Coating methods such as those described above have inherent disadvantages, including long processing times, limited ability to allow functional placement of coatings, or multiple coating steps in order to provide multiple release rates (as in spray coatings), thick coatings which can affect swallowability and limit types of release rates (such as compression coatings), or the use of laser drilling equipment (such as osmotic coatings).
  • a dosage form with immediate release and modified release portions in the tablet manufactured by application of release controlling coating on the modified release portion.
  • Such a core does not require multiple pieces (as in a muticore form) or multilayers (as in a bilayer or trilayer core).
  • Controlled release dosage forms provide many advantages over immediate release dosage forms.
  • the invention involves partially coating a tablet with a semipermeable or a low-permeable coating to a predetermined height using an aqueous or a nonaqueous solution of a polymer and air drying the tablet.
  • the uncoated portion of the tablet releases the drug immediately and the portion of the tablet that is coated releases the drug slowly as the tablet surface that is exposed to the medium is reduced to the cross sectional area of the tablet.
  • dissolution medium has to travel deep into the tablet coated with polymer shell to dissolve the drug and release it to the medium.
  • the modified release tablets of the invention which are simpler and potentially more cost effective than sustained release tablets that utilize multiple spray coating steps, or particulate coatings, provide users with convenience and lower doses. Convenience is provided during the manufacturing process as the dipped coatings of the present invention allow for a single application of coating.
  • the dip coatings of the invention also involve reduced cost as a great amount of cost lies in the processing time involved with applying multiple coatings to a tablet, as in spray coating or osmotic coating.
  • the dipped dosage forms of the invention exhibit modified release of one or more active ingredients contained therein. The active ingredient or ingredients may be found within the core.
  • modified release shall apply to dosage forms, coatings, shells, cores, portions thereof, or compositions that alter the release of an active ingredient in any manner.
  • the active ingredient or ingredients that are released in a modified manner may be contained within the coating, shell, core, composition, or portion thereof providing the modification.
  • the modified release active ingredient may be contained in a different portion of the dosage form from the coating, shell, core, composition, or portion thereof providing the modification; for example the modified release active ingredient may be contained in a core portion, and the modification may be provided by the overlaying shell portion.
  • Types of modified release include controlled, prolonged, sustained, extended, delayed, pulsatile, repeat action, and the like.
  • modified release properties of the dosage form may be achieved through design of the core or a portion thereof, or of the coating or portions of the coating, or a combination of these parts of the dosage form.
  • the dissolution profile of each active ingredient from the dosage form may be governed by a sum of contributions from the properties of the various portions. Additionally, a single portion, for example a core portion, may possess a combination of erosional and diffusional properties. In any case, the dissolution rate of a particular active ingredient from the dosage form will be the sum of the contributions from all the various mechanisms contributed by the various portions of the dosage form which effect the release of that particular active ingredient, as depicted by the following equation:
  • Rate total ... ...X l Rate l ... + X 2 Rate 2 ... + X 3 Rate 3 ... + X n Rate n
  • Xi, X 2 , X 3 , ... X n are the relative contribution fractions of the total release rate
  • Ratei, Rate 2 , Rate 3 , ... Raten are the various release rates contributed by effects of the various portions of the dosage form on a particular active ingredient.
  • Another particularly desirable PK profile is achieved by a dosage form that delivers a delayed release dissolution profile, in which the release of one or more doses of drug from the dosage form is delayed for a pre-determined time after contact with a liquid medium, e.g., upon ingestion by the patient.
  • the delay period (“lag time") can be followed either by prompt release of the active ingredient ("delayed burst”), or by sustained (prolonged, extended, or retarded) release of the active ingredient (“delayed then sustained”).
  • One particularly desirable type of delayed release PK profile is a "pulsatile" profile in which, for example, a first dose of a first drug is delivered, followed by a delay period during which there is substantially no release of the first drug from the dosage form, followed by either prompt or sustained release of a subsequent dose of the same drug.
  • the first dose is released essentially immediately upon contacting of the dosage form with a liquid medium.
  • the delay period corresponds approximately to the time during which a therapeutic concentration of the first dose is maintained in the blood.
  • Pulsatile delivery systems are particularly useful for applications where a continuous release of drug is not ideal. Examples of this are drugs exhibiting first pass metabolism by the liver, drugs that induce biological tolerance (i.e., the therapeutic effect decreases with continuous presence of the drug at the site of action), and drugs whose efficacy is influenced by circadian rhythms of body functions or diseases.
  • the dosage form is a tablet that is partially dip coated on both sides of the tablet leaving the central band uncoated.
  • the dosage form is a tablet having a portion that is partially dip coated with low-permeable coating and another portion of the tablet is dip coated with a semi-permeable coating.
  • the coating may contain coating polymers applied from a solvent based solution or from a latex based aqueous dispersion (typically with the addition of a plasticizer).
  • the dosage form which includes the modified release tablets of the invention provide the blood levels quickly with active in order to provide quick relief and with sustained levels of active over time to provide continued relief.
  • the dosage form which includes the modified release tablets of the invention may contain a single active or more than one active and/or may treat a single indication or multiple indications and/or a single symptom or multiple symptoms.
  • the dosage form which includes the modified release tablets of the invention can provide zero and/or first order release.
  • the invention also relates to a method of manufacturing the dosage form and a method of treatment using the dosage form.
  • dosage form applies to any solid object, semi-solid, or liquid- filled composition designed to contain a specific pre-determined amount (dose) of a certain ingredient, for example, an active ingredient as defined below.
