  • Publication number: 20210369620
    Abstract: This disclosure concerns oral pharmaceutical compositions comprising a solid dosage form (SDF). The SDF comprises (i) a solid amorphous dispersion (SAD) comprising a poorly water soluble active agent and a matrix material comprising poly[(methyl methacrylate)-co-(methacrylic acid)] (PMMAMA), and (ii) a concentration-sustaining polymer (CSP), wherein the CSP is not dispersed in the SAD, and the SAD is at least 35 wt % of the SDF. The SAD and CSP together may be at least 50 wt % of the SDF. The SDF may be, for example, a tablet, a caplet, or a capsule.
