The instant disclosure provides a capsule composition comprising pullulan, a setting system and a surfactant system that is a sucroglyceride or a sugar fatty acid ester, and methods for making such capsules.

The present invention is related to polymer based formulation for release of drugs and bioactives at gastrointestinal tract specific sites including stomach, intestine and colon.

Provided is a composition comprising a polyglycolized glyceride and a compound having the following structure (I): ##STR00001##
or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof. Also provided are crystalline forms of the compound of structure (I), or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof. Methods of making the same, and methods for using the same in the treatment of cancer, autoimmune, inflammatory and other Pim kinase-associated diseases, disorders or conditions are also disclosed.

Described herein are RPE cells engineered to secrete a FVII protein, as well as compositions, pharmaceutical preparations, and implantable devices comprising the engineered RPE cells, and methods of making and using the same for treating a patient with hemophilia or FVII deficiency.

This invention relates to a method of treating cancer by administering to a patient in need thereof, over a period of time, therapeutic agents that comprises Compound 1 or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof on an intermittent dosing schedule alone or in combination with a PD-1 or PD-L1 inhibitor, to a patient in need thereof.

Embodiments provide swallowable devices, preparations and methods for delivering viable cells (VC) into the GI tract including GI wall tissue or other tissue site. Particular embodiments provide a swallowable device such as a capsule for delivering VC into an intestinal wall or other site. The VC can be contained within a tissue-penetrating shell disposed in the capsule that protects the VC as they pass through the GI tract until they are inserted into GI tract tissue or other location. The shell desirably has shape, size and material consistency to be contained in a swallowable capsule, delivered from the capsule into solid tissue by the application of force on the shell and biodegrade within the solid tissue to release the VC into the tissue. Within the shell or other structure the VC can be maintained in a viability-sustaining gel that preserves the viability of the VC for selected time periods.

The present technology is directed serdexmethylphenidate compounds and methods for synthesizing a compound having the formula

In various embodiments, the present invention provides pharmaceutical compositions comprising fatty acids and methods for treating subjects using same.

A method for fabricating an oral drug delivery system includes steps as follows. A mixture is provided, which includes an organic ligand, a metal ion, a biological macromolecule and water. A coating step is performed for forming a biomimetic mineralized carrier encapsulated the biological macromolecule having a surface with the positive charge. A first solution including the biomimetic mineralized carrier is provided. A second solution including a yeast capsule is provided, wherein the yeast capsule has a surface with the negative charge. A loading step is performing, wherein the first solution is mixed with the second solution and then shaken for a shaking time, and the biomimetic mineralized carrier is loaded into the yeast capsule by an electrostatic force to form the oral drug delivery system.

Probiotic compositions capable of generating a high CFU count and methods to improve the health of a subject including to treat or prevent a viral infection are disclosed.
