The present invention relates to pharmaceutical compositions comprising Ibrutinib. More particularly, the present invention relates to a tablet composition comprising Ibrutinib and one or more pharmaceutically acceptable excipients and process for preparing such compositions.

A dosage form comprising a tablet core and one or more discontinuous coated regions in various configurations on the surface of the dosage form is disclosed. A method for making the dosage form is also disclosed.

Provided is a device for granulating, agglomerating, pelletising, drying and/or coating, the device including a swirl chamber, a distribution chamber, wherein the swirl chamber is separated from the distribution chamber by a base and wherein a powder to be granulated or a powder mixture to be granulated is presented in the swirl chamber, the device further including at least one agitator for thoroughly mixing the powder to be granulated or the powder mixture to be granulated and at least one addition device for a liquid, wherein the base is designed in several parts and at least one base part is horizontally and/or vertically displaceable, with the result that that the base becomes a distributor plate. Also provided is a method for granulating, agglomerating, pelletising, drying and/or coating using such a device and a base suitable for use as a distributor plate in a convective drying apparatus.

The invention is directed to oral modified/controlled release drug formulations which provide a rapid initial onset of effect and a prolonged duration of effect. Preferably, the peak concentration is lower than that provided by the reference standard for immediate release formulations of the drug, and the duration of effect falls rapidly at the end of the dosing interval.

The present invention provides a new preparation which is a tablet containing (1) ferric citrate, (2) a polyvinyl alcohol-polyethylene glycol graft copolymer, and (3) a polyvinyl alcohol-acrylic acid-methyl methacrylate copolymer

A Rifaximin polymorphic mixture of α/β form in a relative ratio of 85/15±3 and a process for its preparation. The polymorphic mixture of Rifaximin is for use as a medicament, in particular in the treatment of traveler's diarrhea and hepatic encephalopathy. A pharmaceutical composition comprises the polymorphic mixture of Rifaximin as active ingredient, in particular, a solid formulation, more in particular, a film coated tablet. A polymorphic form of crude wet rifaximin and of purified wet rifaximin their use are used as intermediates in a process for the preparation of Rifaximin polymorphic mixture of α/β form in a relative ratio of 85/15±3.

Room-temperature stable dosage forms for oral delivery of calcitonin are disclosed herein. Dosage forms for oral delivery of calcitonin with low water content are also disclosed herein. Further disclosed herein are methods for producing such room-temperature stable dosage forms and low-water content dosage forms. Methods of treatment comprising the administration of such room-temperature stable dosage forms and low-water content dosage forms are also disclosed herein.

In a delayed release formulation comprising a core containing a drug and a delayed release coating for providing intestinal release, release of the drug in the colon is accelerated by including an isolation layer between the core and the delayed release coating. The delayed release coating comprises an inner layer and an outer layer. The outer layer comprises a pH dependently soluble polymeric material which has a pH threshold at about pH 5 or above. The inner layer comprises a soluble polymeric material which is soluble in intestinal fluid or gastrointestinal fluid, said soluble polymeric material being selected from the group consisting of a polycarboxylic acid polymer that is at least partially neutralised, and a non-ionic polymer, provided that, where said soluble polymeric material is a non-ionic polymer, said inner layer comprises at least one additive selected from a buffer agent and a base.

The present disclosure provides pharmaceutical compositions that provide immediate release of active ingredients and have abuse deterrent properties. In particular, the pharmaceutical compositions comprise at least one pharmaceutically active ingredient, at least one non-cellulose polysaccharide, at least one hydrophilic gelling polymer, and an effervescent system.

A drug combination containing a TLR7 agonist. Specifically, a drug combination jointly using the compound of formula I acting as a TLR7 agonist and entecavir for the treatment of hepatitis B virus infection and a use thereof, the drug combination having a good anti-hepatitis B virus infection effect.
