  • Publication number: 20230026731
    Abstract: A drug delivery system is provided for transdermally administering a psychedelic active agent to a subject to provide continuous microdose plasma levels of the active agent or a metabolite thereof during an extended drug delivery time period. The transdermal drug delivery system comprises a drug reservoir that houses a formulation containing the active agent, a combination of a solubilizer-type permeation enhancer and a plasticizer-type permeation enhancer, and a pH stabilizing agent. The pH stabilizing agent brings the pH of the formulation, at the system-skin interface, and/or within the skin as the active agent is transported across the skin from the skin surface to the bloodstream, to within 25% of the pKa of the active agent. Formulations and methods of use are also provided.

  • Patent number: 11052055
    Abstract: A modular transdermal drug delivery system is provided, the system including: an upper module in which an outer backing layer is laminated to a pressure-sensitive adhesive layer that is covered by a removable release liner prior to assembly; and a lower module with a porous drug reservoir layer laminated to a skin-contact adhesive that affixes the system to the skin during drug delivery, where the skin-contact adhesive is, in one embodiment, an adhesive layer that is substantially co-extensive with the porous drug reservoir layer and, prior to use, protected with a second removable release liner. Methods of manufacture and use are also provided, as is an assembled transdermal drug delivery system fabricated by affixing the pressure-sensitive adhesive layer of the upper module to the porous drug reservoir layer of the lower module.
