[0013] The tablet of the present disclosure has an immediate release profile. These tablets release at least 75% (Q) (where Q refers to the acceptance criteria defined by USP chapter <711>) of the active after 45 minutes under standard dissolution test. In embodiment, the tablets release at least 75% of the active after 45 minutes when using the rotating basket at 100 rpm, with 900 ml of HCl pH 1 as dissolution medium at 37 C. In another embodiment, the tablets release at least 75% of the active after 45 minutes when using the rotating basket at 100 rpm, with 900 ml of HCl pH 2 as dissolution medium at 37 C. In another embodiment, the tablets release at least 75% of the active after 45 minutes when using the rotating basket at 100 rpm, with 900 ml of acetate buffer pH 4.5 as dissolution medium at 37 C. In another embodiment, the tablets release at least 75% of the active after 45 minutes when using the rotating basket at 100 rpm, with 900 ml of phosphate buffer pH 6.8 as dissolution medium at 37 C.

[0014] The tablets of the present disclosure can be coated or uncoated.

[0015] The tablets of the present disclosure have high drug load of at least 40%, 45%, 50%, 55% or 60%, when measured in w/w percentage of the ribociclib succinate of the core tablet.

[0016] The tablets of the present disclosure have high drug load of at least 32%, 40%, 44%, 47% or 52%, when measured in w/w percentage of the ribociclib free base of the core tablet.

[0017] The % of ribociclib succinate (w/w) is at least 40% of the core tablet. In one embodiment, the % of ribociclib succinate (w/w) is at least 50% of the core tablet. In another embodiment, the % of ribociclib succinate (w/w) is at least 55% of the core tablet. In another embodiment, the % of ribociclib succinate (w/w) is at about 55% to 65% of the core tablet. In another embodiment, the % of ribociclib succinate (w/w) is at about 60% of the core tablet.

[0018] When measured in terms of ribociclib free base, the % of ribociclib (w/w) is at least 32% of the core tablet. In one embodiment, the % of ribociclib (w/w) is at least 40% of the core tablet. In another embodiment, the % of ribociclib (w/w) is at least 44% of the core tablet. In another embodiment, the % of ribociclib (w/w) is at about 44% to 52% of the core tablet.

[0019] Core tablet is also referred to as tablet core.

[0020] In an uncoated tablet, the tablet core is the whole tablet. In a coated tablet, the tablet core is the portion of the tablet excluding the coating.

[0021] The tablet formulation according to the disclosure may contain pharmaceutically acceptable excipients commonly used in pharmaceutical formulations, particularly those for oral administration for example, as fillers, binders, disintegrants and lubricants.

[0022] Fillers, for example, can be cellulose, mannitol, di-calcium phosphate, lactose, microcrytalline cellulose, alone or in combination thereof

[0023] Binders, for example, can be hydroxypropyl cellulose, polyvinyl-pyrrolidone, alone or in combination thereof.

[0024] Disintegrants, for example, can be crosslinked polyvinyl-pyrrolidone, crosslinked sodium carboxymethyl cellulose, low substituted hydroxypropyl cellulose, sodium starch glycolate, alone or in combination thereof.

[0025] Lubricants, for example, can be magnesium stearate, stearic acid, talc, silicon dioxide, sodium stearyl fumarate, alone or in combination thereof.
