Abstract: Amorphous solid dispersions of nilotinib fumarate or nilotinib tartrate are provided, as well as pharmaceutical compositions thereof, wherein the compositions exhibit enhanced bioavailability in the fasted state. Preferably, the compositions may be orally administered to a patient in either the fed or fasted state, with a decrease or elimination of the food effect. Preferably, following oral administration of the pharmaceutical compositions, there is no substantial difference in the pharmacokinetic parameters (e.g., Cmax, AUC0-t and/or AUC0-infinity) of nilotinib, regardless of whether the pharmaceutical compositions are administered to a subject in the fed or fasted state.

Abstract: The present invention relates to liquid pharmaceutical compositions of baclofen or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof. More specifically, stable liquid pharmaceutical compositions of baclofen at concentrations of 5 mg/mL or more are provided. Preferably, the liquid pharmaceutical compositions are suitable for oral administration, and stable at pH ranges of 5-8 over a variety of storage conditions, including long-term storage for extended periods of time.

Abstract: Delayed-release pharmaceutical compositions prepared by hot-melt extrusion are provided, where the compositions comprise an azole anti-fungal drug having poor water solubility, an enteric polymer and a non-enteric polymer, and wherein the pharmaceutical composition may be orally administered to a patient in either the fed or fasted state. Preferably, the delayed-release pharmaceutical compositions prepared by hot-melt extrusion comprise posaconazole, HPMC-AS and HPC. Preferably, following oral administration of the pharmaceutical compositions, there is no substantial difference in the pharmacokinetic parameters (Tmax, Cmax, AUC0-t and/or AUC0-infinity) of the azole anti-fungal drug, regardless of whether the pharmaceutical compositions are administered to a subject in the fed or fasted state.

Abstract: Solid dispersions of lurasidone or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof are described, as well as pharmaceutical formulations thereof, and methods for making such formulations. Preferably, the solid dispersions are prepared by hot-melt extrusion or spray-drying, and comprise lurasidone with a pharmaceutically acceptable carrier (e.g., hydroxypropyl methyl cellulose acetate succinate (HPMC-AS), polyvinyl pyrrolidine vinyl acetate (PVP/VA) copolymer, hydroxypropyl methylcellulose phthalate (HPMCP), or mixtures thereof). The pharmaceutical composition may be orally administered to a patient in either the fed or fasted state, with a decrease or elimination of the food effect. Preferably, following oral administration of the pharmaceutical compositions, there is no substantial difference in the pharmacokinetic parameters (e.g., Tmax, Cmax, AUC0-t and/or AUC0-infinity) of lurasidone, regardless of whether the pharmaceutical compositions are administered to a subject in the fed or fasted state.

Abstract: The present invention provides stable, ready-to-use injectable pharmaceutical compositions, comprising the combination of neostigmine, glycopyrrolate, a stabilizing amount of one or more aminopolycarboxylic acids, and a pharmaceutically acceptable liquid vehicle. Other aspects of the invention relate to methods for making such compositions and methods of using such compositions for reversing the effects of non-depolarizing neuromuscular blocking agents. Preferably, the composition comprises neostigmine methylsulfate, glycopyrronium bromide, ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid (EDTA) and a pharmaceutically acceptable liquid vehicle, and is provided in a pre-filled, ready-to-use sealed container, such as a pre-filled syringe, suitable for intravenous administration.

Abstract: The present invention provides stable pharmaceutical compositions, comprising a pharmaceutically effective amount of testosterone or a pharmaceutically acceptable ester thereof, a pharmaceutically acceptable oil vehicle, and a stabilizing amount of benzyl alcohol, for example, about 1% to 3% weight/volume of benzyl alcohol. The present invention also provides a process for stabilizing testosterone-containing pharmaceutical compositions by ageing them at a temperature of about 20° C. to about 60° C. for at least 48 hours, e.g., prior to secondary packing and labeling. These compositions were stable over the shelf life of the product, without exhibiting crystal formation, even upon storing at temperatures of about 2° C. to about 8° C. Other aspects of the invention relate to methods for making such pharmaceutical compositions, and methods of using such pharmaceutical compositions for hormone replacement therapy, e.g.
