Abstract: Modified-release pharmaceutical compositions of ruxolitinib or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof are disclosed. Preferably, the invention relates to oral modified-release pharmaceutical compositions of ruxolitinib, which enable once-daily administration. Oral modified-release compositions of ruxolitinib, methods for their administration, processes for their preparation, and use of these compositions for treatment of diseases treatable by ruxolitinib are also described.

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: Stable pharmaceutical compositions are provided, 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.

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 application relates to stable pharmaceutical compositions for oral administration comprising a progesterone alone, or optionally in combination with an estradiol. The pharmaceutical compositions may further include a solubilizing agent, a surfactant and optionally other pharmaceutical acceptable excipients. Preferably, the estradiol does not precipitate for at least 12 months, and the pharmaceutical compositions are stable for at least 12 months under normal storage conditions at room temperature. Also, when the pharmaceutical compositions are stored for 6 months at 40° C./75% relative humidity (RH), the level of Impurity-M in the composition is less than about 0.2% (w/w) as measured by HPLC. The pharmaceutical compositions may be used for the treatment of moderate to severe vasomotor symptoms due to menopause in post-menopausal women.
