Abstract: The invention relates to extended release pharmaceutical formulations in form of multiparticulates comprising 40-O-(2-hydroxy)ethyl-rapamycin, to dosage forms which comprise said pharmaceutical formulations, to methods of preparing said pharmaceutical formulations and said dosage forms, to uses of said pharmaceutical formulations and said dosage for the manufacture of a medicament for the treatment or prevention of diseases or conditions responsive to inhibition of mTOR signaling pathway, such as for instance proliferative diseases or immunosuppression.

Abstract: The invention relates to a pharmaceutical formulation comprising 40-O-(2-hydroxy)ethyl-rapamycin in a high drug load part and an immediate release part. In addition, the invention relates to a formulation comprising 40-O-(2-hydroxy)ethyl-rapamycin in a first layer and a surfactant in a layer beneath the first layer. The pharmaceutical composition is particularly suitable for use as a medicament.

Abstract: Solid dispersion comprising (4R)-4-[N?-methyl-N?-(3,5-bistrifluoromethyl-benzoyl)-amino]-4-(3,4-dichlorobenzyl)-but-2-enoic acid N—[(R)-epsilon-caprolactam-3-yl]-amide or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt or solvate thereof and a carrier. Pharmaceutical compositions comprising such solid dispersion are useful to treat patients who have functional motility disorders of the viscera, especially irritable bowel syndrome or functional dyspepsia, or urinary bladder disorders, especially urinary incontinence.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a parenteral composition comprising a bisphosphonic acid or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof (bisphosphonate) as active component and a pharmaceutically acceptable chelating agent, processes of the preparation of this composition, and methods of their use in the treatment and prevention of diseases involving bone resorption, especially osteoporosis, Paget's disease, hypercalcemia of malignancy, and metabolic bone disease. The compositions are especially useful for improving the local tolerance of the active component when administered parenterally.
