  • Patent number: 10561615
    Abstract: The present disclosure is drawn to pharmaceutical compositions and oral dosage forms containing testosterone undecanoate, as well as related methods of treatment. In one embodiment, the oral dosage form can include a therapeutically effective amount of testosterone undecanoate and a pharmaceutically acceptable carrier. The dosage form can be formulated such that, when measured using a USP Type II apparatus in 1000 mL of 8 wt % Triton X-100 in water at 37° C. and 100 rpm, the oral dosage form releases at least 20% more testosterone undecanoate after the first 120 minutes than an equivalent dose testosterone undecanoate containing oral dosage form without the pharmaceutically acceptable carrier.

  • Publication number: 20190381067
    Abstract: The present disclosure is drawn to pharmaceutical compositions and oral dosage capsules containing testosterone undecanoate, as well as related methods. The capsule includes a capsule shell and a capsule fill. The capsule fill can include a solubilizer and about 14 wt % to about 35 wt % testosterone undecanoate based on the total capsule fill. The oral dosage capsule is such that when a single oral administration to a male subject of one or more capsules with a total testosterone undecanoate daily dose of about 350 mg to about 650 mg it provides a ratio of serum testosterone Cmax to serum testosterone Cave of about 2.7 or less. In yet another embodiment, a method for providing a serum concentration of testosterone within a target serum testosterone concentration Cave range for a male subject is provided.

  • Publication number: 20190307775
    Abstract: The present invention provides for bioavailable oral dosage forms containing esters of 17-hydroxyprogesterone as well as related methods. The oral dosage forms can be formulated for pregnancy support and can include a therapeutically effective amount of an ester of 17-hydroxyprogesterone and a pharmaceutically acceptable carrier. In another embodiment, a pharmaceutically acceptable oral dosage form for pregnancy support is provided. The pharmaceutically acceptable oral dosage can include a therapeutically effective amount of an ester of 17-hydroxyprogesterone and a pharmaceutically acceptable carrier. The oral dosage form can, when measured using a USP Type-II dissolution apparatus in 900 mL of deionized water with 0.5 (w/v) of sodium lauryl sulfate at 50 RPM at 37° C., release at least 20 wt % of the dose of the ester of 17-hydroxyprogesterone after 60 minutes, or in the alternative release at least 20 wt % more after 60 minutes than an equivalently dosed oral dosage form without the carrier.
