Disclosed herein are methods and combination dosing regimen of administering a combination of a BTK inhibitor (e.g. ibrutinib) and an anti-CD20 therapeutic agent for the treatment of a hematologic malignancy. In one aspect is a combination dosing regimen for the treatment of a hematologic malignancy in a subject in need thereof comprising a first phase and a second phase, wherein the first phase is an administration of a BTK inhibitor as a single-agent treatment for a first extended period of time, and the second phase is an administration of a combination of the BTK inhibitor and an anti-CD20 therapeutic agent for a second extended period of time. In one embodiment, the first extended period of time is a period of up to 90 days.

A method of increasing the bioavailability of 5-aminosalicylate compound by administration of an oral dosage form with food is provided, as well as an article of manufacture comprising an oral dosage form of 5-aminosalicylate compound in a suitable container and associated with printed labeling which describes the increased bioavailability of the medication in the container when taken with food.
摘要:
Delayed release of a drug to the colon is achieved from a delayed release formulation comprising a core and a coating for the core. The core comprises a drug and the coating comprises an outer layer and at least one layer between the core and the outer layer selected from the group consisting of an isolation layer and an inner layer. The outer layer comprises a mixture of a first polymeric material which is susceptible to attack by colonic bacteria, and a second polymeric material which has a pH threshold at about pH 6 or above. The inner layer comprises a third polymeric material which is a non-ionic polymer soluble in intestinal fluid or gastrointestinal fluid, and at least one of a buffer agent and a base. The isolation layer comprises a non-ionic polymer which is soluble in intestinal fluid or gastrointestinal fluid. The outer is applied directly to the inner layer or the isolation layer using a coating preparation formed by combining the first polymeric material in an aqueous medium with a second polymeric material in an organic medium. Advantages of formulations according to the present invention include accelerated release of the drug when exposed to colonic conditions and reduction or elimination of a food and/or alcohol effect on drug release after administration.

The present document describes a dosage form for delivery of an active ingredient comprising: a first carboxylated polymer having carboxyl groups, having a degree of substitution of at least 0.2, a molecular weight of at least 200 kDa, and at least 30% of said carboxyl groups being complexed with a divalent cation; alone or in a co-complex with at least one of a) a control release polymer chosen from an insoluble polymer or a polymer having a reduced water solubility at 30° C., and a soluble polymer; and b) a second carboxylated polymer having carboxyl groups complexed with a divalent cation. The document also describes processes of making a carboxylated polymer having carboxyl groups, having a degree of substitution of at least 0.2, a molecular weight of at least 200 kDa, and at least 30% of said carboxyl groups being complexed with a divalent cation, and an inclusion complex, a co-complex, or both comprising the same.
摘要:
An oral modified release composition comprising cyclosporin, wherein the composition is for use in the treatment of ulcerative colitis in a patient, wherein the composition is for use in the concurrent treatment of the patient with an active agent selected from an aminosalicylate and a steroid, and a fixed or free combination thereof. Also claimed are kits comprising the oral modified release composition and the active agent. Also disclosed are methods for the treatment of ulcerative colitis using the oral modified release composition.
摘要:
A pharmaceutical formulation containing a glycosaminoglycan is provided, In this pharmaceutical formulation, a glycosaminoglycan layer surrounding a drug layer is used to improve the treatment efficiency of enteric diseases. According to an embodiment, the pellet above comprises a core, a drug layer surrounding the core, a glycosaminoglycan layer surrounding the drug layer, an isolation layer surrounding the glycosaminoglycan layer, and an enteric coating layer surrounding the isolation layer. Accordingly, the weight ratio of the core, the drug layer, the glycosaminoglycan layer, the isolation layer, and the enteric coating is 100:137-141: 25-29:9-13:60-64, and preferably 100: 139: 27: 11: 62.
