Disclosed herein are pharmaceutically acceptable complex formulations comprising complexes of Lumacaftor, or a salt, or derivative thereof together with complexation agents and, optionally, pharmaceutically acceptable excipients; processes for the preparation thereof and pharmaceutical compositions containing them. The complex formulations have improved dissolution and permeability in fasted and fed state simulation that is expected to deliver full absorption and the elimination of the food effect.

The invention provides gastric residence systems for administration of adamantane-class drugs or pharmaceutically acceptable salts thereof, such as memantine or pharmaceutically acceptable salts thereof, and methods for making and using such systems. The systems provide extended release of drug, reducing the frequency with which the drug must be administered to the patient. The gastric residence systems, or components of gastric residence system such as segments or elongate members of gastric residence systems, can have release rate-modulating films, which provide good control over release of adamantane-class drugs or pharmaceutically acceptable salts thereof present in the gastric residence system. Some embodiments of the films can provide resistance against burst release of adamantane-class drugs or pharmaceutically acceptable salts thereof upon exposure to alcohol.

A solid pharmaceutical dosage form has micro- or nanostructures impressed on the surface thereof or an interface thereof. The dosage form includes a suitable quantity and distribution of ingredients, such as one or more dyes, so as to enhance the optical contrast effect caused by the micro- or nanostructures so that the micro- or nanostructures are observable by the human eye and thereby able to provide anti-counterfeiting characteristics to the dosage form.

The present disclosure provides a stable solid pharmaceutical dosage form for oral administration. The dosage form includes a substrate that forms at least one compartment and a drug content loaded into the compartment. The dosage form is so designed that the active pharmaceutical ingredient of the drug content is released in a controlled manner.

The present invention relates to gelatin capsules containing microbeads. The capsule has perforations that enhance the dissolution of the capsule.

Disclosed herein are drug delivery ocular implants comprising an elongate outer shell having a proximal end, and distal end and being shaped to define an interior lumen, at least one therapeutic agent positioned within the lumen, wherein the outer shell has at least a first thickness, the outer shell comprises one or more regions of drug release, and the implant is dimensioned for implantation within the anterior chamber of the eye.

Small-volume oral transmucosal dosage forms or NanoTabs comprising a predetermined amount of a pharmaceutically active drug are provided. Exemplary applications include use of the NanoTabs to administer a drug for the treatment of acute, post-operative or breakthrough pain.

Provided are a device and method for oxygenating fecal matter in a patient. The device includes an interior material defining a plurality of oxygen packets including oxygen to be introduced into the patient's digestive tract. An outer coating applied to an exterior of the interior material protects the interior material from an environment of the patient's digestive tract when the device is consumed, and is dissolved by a substance within the patient's digestive tract to expose the interior material to the patient's digestive tract after a delay.

The present disclosure provides methods and compositions for modified delivery of mycophenolic acid active agents, including mycophenolate sodium, in canine subjects. Presently disclosed methods and compositions are useful, for example, to treat autoimmune diseases, blood disorders, and immune rejection related to transplant or graft procedures.

Methods of treating a subject having a condition characterized by at least one of neurodegeneration and neuroin-flammation are provided. Methods of reducing astrogliosis in a subject having a condition characterized by increased astrogliosis are also provided. Methods of providing neuroprotection to a subject in need thereof are also provided.
