Publication number: 20230270665Abstract: A rapidly-orodispersible dosage form comprising a porous, bound-powder matrix and one or more internal cavities is provided, as well as three-dimensional printing methods for making the same. Each internal cavity is configured to contain one or more payloads, particularly pharmaceutical medicaments, while isolating the payloads from the external environment outside of the dosage form. Each payload can be contained within its cavity in its native form without having to be combined with the bound-powder matrix or binding liquid. Dosage forms can disintegrate in water or saliva in less than two minutes, independently of the payload(s) or medicament(s) contained within. The dosage forms can be formed as unitary tablets, or as two-piece tablets comprising a container body and a lidding body that are secured together to isolate the one or more cavities and their payloads inside.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 31, 2022Publication date: August 31, 2023Inventors: Jaedeok YOO, Aleece M. PHILLIPS, Thomas J. BRADBURY, Thomas G. WEST

Publication number: 20230190661Abstract: A method and system of forming a pharmaceutical dosage form within a portion of a blister packaging. The method includes the steps of providing a blister packaging for the dosage form with depressions. A predetermined amount of a drug-containing powder material comprising drug-containing particles is deposited into a substantially uniform powder layer within the depressions. A binding liquid is then deposited in a pattern on the powder layer within the depressions, to bind the particles of the powder layer and form an incremental wetted powder layer. Excess solvent in the binding material can be removed to form an incremental bound layer. These steps are repeated in sequence at least one or more times to form the pharmaceutical dosage form within the blister packaging.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 15, 2021Publication date: June 22, 2023Inventors: Thomas J. BRADBURY, Aleece M. PHILLIPS, Thomas G. WEST, Jaedeok YOO, Munhee Lee, Henry Cabral

Also disclosed are methods of preparing the dosage form and of treating a condition, disease or disorder that is therapeutically responsive to the drug.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 17, 2022Publication date: March 9, 2023Inventors: JULES JACOB, NORMAN COYLE, THOMAS G. WEST, DONALD C. MONKHOUSE, HENRY L. SURPRENANT, NEMICHAND B. JAIN

Patent number: 10420785Abstract: A taste-masked rapidly dispersible dosage form of topiramate is provided. Wax coated particles of topiramate are included within a porous bound matrix. The topiramate retains its taste-masked form after dispersion in the mouth of a subject even though the particles are not coated with a polymeric material. The dosage form disperses in saliva or water in less than 2 min even though it has a high content of wax. It can be used to treat diseases or disorders that are therapeutically responsive to topiramate or a derivative thereof.Type: GrantFiled: August 23, 2016Date of Patent: September 24, 2019Assignee: APRECIA PHARMACEUTICALS LLCInventors: Jules Jacob, Lauren Beach, Thomas G.
