Publication number: 20200345723Abstract: An abuse-deterrent pharmaceutical composition has been developed to reduce the likelihood of improper administration of drugs, especially drugs such as opioids. In a preferred embodiment, a drug is modified to increase its lipophilicity. In some embodiments the modified drug is homogeneously dispersed within spherical microparticles composed of a material that is either slowly soluble or not soluble in water. In some embodiments the drug containing microparticles or drug particles are coated with one or more coating layers, where at least one coating is water insoluble and/or organic solvent insoluble. The abuse-deterrent composition retards the release of drug, even if the physical integrity of the formulation is compromised (for example, by chopping with a blade or crushing) and the resulting material is placed in water, snorted, or swallowed. However, when administered as directed, the drug is slowly released from the composition as the composition is passes through the GI tract.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 17, 2020Publication date: November 5, 2020Inventors: Roman V. RARIY, Alison B. FLEMING, Jane HIRSH, Alexander M. KLIBANOV

Patent number: 10668060Abstract: Tamper-resistant pharmaceutical compositions have been developed to reduce the likelihood of improper administration of drugs, especially drugs such as opioids. The tamper-resistant compositions retard the release of drug, even if the physical integrity of the formulation is compromised (for example, by chopping with a blade or crushing) and the resulting material is placed in water, snorted, or swallowed. However, when administered as directed, the drug is slowly released from the composition as the composition is passes through the GI tract.Type: GrantFiled: May 15, 2019Date of Patent: June 2, 2020Assignee: Collegium Pharmaceutical, Inc.Inventors: Roman V. Rariy, Alison Fleming, Jane C. Hirsh, Said Saim, Ravi K. Varanasi
