Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a method of manufacturing a solid formulation for oral administration, said solid formulation comprising a portion of edible substrate on which is deposited a first composition comprising a first active pharmaceutical ingredient, said method comprising the following steps: supplying the substrate edible in film form; supply of a first liquid formulation comprising the first pharmaceutical active ingredient and a solvent; then spraying the first liquid formulation onto the film and evaporating the solvent, so as to form the first solid composition deposited on the substrate.
  • the invention is particularly applicable to solid formulations comprising an orodispersible film.
  • Oral pharmaceutical forms of orodispersible films are known in particular from documents EP3281625 and US2017216220. Such pharmaceutical forms are produced in particular by spreading on a support a solution comprising a pharmaceutical active ingredient and polymers, drying the solution leading to the production of a film.
  • Such production methods are suitable for producing drugs in large quantities, with a uniform dosage.
  • a technical problem linked to the industrial production of oral pharmaceutical forms by printing is in particular the control of the dose of active principle in each pharmaceutical form produced.
  • EP3403643 A1 relates in particular to the design of compositions comprising an active principle. It discloses measurements made on prototypes of such compositions in order to validate the content. However, it does not disclose any measurement which would be carried out on an active ingredient contained in the result of a spraying carried out using such a composition.
  • the present invention aims to allow the industrial production of custom drugs for oral administration.
  • the tests carried out show that the drugs thus obtained have a stability (and therefore a conservation) of at least six months.
  • the present invention involves spraying liquids onto surfaces in order to obtain the desired compositions by drying. It involves controlling the amounts sprayed.
  • predetermined quantity or reference quantity to designate a target quantity (quantity that we seek to obtain), and we also denote such quantity by the term of "value" ("predetermined value” and “Reference value” being synonymous with “predetermined quantity” and “reference quantity”).
  • the subject of the invention is a manufacturing process of the aforementioned type, and more particularly a manufacturing process of a solid formulation for oral administration, said solid formulation comprising a portion of edible substrate on which is deposited a first composition comprising a first principle pharmaceutical active, said method comprising the following steps:
  • Said manufacturing process also includes the following steps:
  • each portion supports a quantity (which may be denoted Q for a portion considered) of first active principle corresponding to a value predetermined (can be noted Q ref ); in other words, the spraying according to the method is adjusted so that the quantity Q resulting therefrom comes as close as possible to a value predetermined Q re f desired (ie "corresponds" to this predetermined value Qref); and
  • Said comparison makes it possible to trigger an action (or several actions). It makes it possible to take corrective measures such as the destruction of the portions of which the quantity of active principle is too far from the predetermined value, or, if this quantity is insufficient, the spraying of an additional quantity on this same portion in order to avoid its destruction.
  • Said comparison also makes it possible (alternately and cumulatively) to check the spraying setting, and if necessary, either to report a setting problem (for example by triggering an alert via an audible or visual alarm, or sending a e-mail alert), either to carry out an automatic adjustment of the adjustment, or both, that is to say both to report an adjustment problem and to adjust it automatically.
  • This comparison is made by an electronic device, such as a processor, a microcontroller, an on-board computer, or dedicated electronics.
  • the method comprises one or more of the following characteristics, taken in isolation or in any technically possible combination:
  • this reporting is carried out by an electronic device, such as a processor, a microcontroller, a on-board computer, or dedicated electronics);
  • step of adjusting the spray setting as a function of said comparison is made by an electronic device, such as a processor, a microcontroller, an on-board computer, or dedicated electronics;
  • the first liquid formulation has a viscosity between 2 mPa.s and 20 mPa.s; and / or a surface tension between 20 mN / m and 50 mN / m, or even, according to a particular implementation, between 25 mN / m and 50 mN / m;
  • the first active ingredient in the first liquid formulation is chosen from analgesics, antihistamines, anti-inflammatories, anti-epileptics and natural, synthetic or biotechnological hormones;
  • the first liquid formulation further comprises a dye
  • the edible substrate comprises one or more water-soluble polymers, preferably one or more cellulose derivatives,
  • a step of spraying the first liquid formulation onto a first zone of each portion of film the method further comprising the following steps: supplying a second liquid formulation comprising a second solvent; said second liquid formulation preferably comprising a second active pharmaceutical ingredient and / or a flavor; then spraying the second liquid formulation onto a second zone of the film and evaporation of the second solvent, so as to form a second solid composition deposited on the substrate, the first and second zones of the film being distinct from one of the other.
  • the invention also relates to a solid formulation for oral administration, resulting from a process as described above, said formulation comprising a portion of edible substrate on which is deposited at least one composition comprising an active pharmaceutical ingredient.
  • the invention further relates to an installation for continuously manufacturing a solid formulation for oral administration, suitable for implementing a method as described above, said installation comprising: a device for supplying the substrate edible in the form of a film strip, said strip being configured to be divided into a plurality of portions (whether by a complete or discontinuous cutting of each portion, a discontinuous cutting, in the form for example of dotted precut, allowing later to easily separate such a portion); a device for printing the first liquid formulation; a control device connected to the printing device, said control device being capable of implementing the printing of a predetermined quantity of first liquid formulation on each portion of substrate; and a device for non-destructive measurement of a quantity of first active principle supported by each portion; the control device being provided with means for comparing the quantity measured with a predetermined value (corresponding to the quantity predetermined, the mathematical "value" representing the physical "quantity” and designating the same reality) of first liquid formulation.
  • the manufacturing installation further comprises an individual packaging device for each solid formulation.
  • Figure 1 is a schematic representation of solid formulations according to a first, a second and a third embodiment of the invention
  • FIG. 2 is a schematic representation of a manufacturing facility according to an embodiment of the invention, for making the solid formulations of Figure 1;

  • Figure 4 is a flow diagram representing the steps of a manufacturing process, according to one embodiment of the invention, of the solid formulations of Figure 1.
  • FIG. 1 represents a first 10, a second 40 and a third 60 solid formulations for oral administration, respectively according to a first, a second and a third embodiment of the invention.
  • the spraying is controlled by a spraying command, this command receiving as input a setting (or "setting value”, or "amount of setting").
  • the initial setting value is fixed at a predetermined value.
  • this setting value is, at the start of the process, equal to a predetermined quantity (value) that one wishes to spray.
  • the initial setting value is only indexed to this predetermined value in order to be representative. Indeed, it does not matter to use an identical numerical value for the initial adjustment and for the predetermined value, it only matters to allow the interpretation of the numerical value used as adjustment value in order to be able to determine that its value whatever it is, corresponds to the predetermined value and to interpret its subsequent value.
  • the quantity sprayed is, according to a possible implementation, determined by a spraying setting equal to the resolution (which may be denoted RES) of printing.
  • RES the resolution
  • each resolution corresponds to a quantity sprayed and vice versa.
  • the higher the resolution the more dots are printed, and therefore the greater the quantity sprayed.
  • the resolution of the print can be adjusted in number of dots printed per unit of distance (for example in dots per inch, unit designated by the acronym DPI), the same resolution can be used in both directions of printing (in case of 2D printing).
  • the spray setting is then a RES parameter (such as a resolution of 350 DPI), this parameter corresponding to a predetermined quantity to be sprayed.
  • the setting optionally includes (in addition to a RES resolution) a number of NBP passes.
  • the process prints NBP-1 times the same surface with a maximum resolution and prints a NBP th time this surface with the resolution RES indicated in the setting, in order to increase the maximum sprayable quantity.
  • the setting, for a predetermined value VP can be initially set to the integer closest to the value (2 N -1) * (VP-VP min ) / (VPmax-VP min ).
  • a predetermined value of 400 mg would lead to an initial spraying setting equal to:

  • Each of these thresholds can be relative or absolute.
  • the alarm can be different so that an operator is informed of the direction of overshoot, or else the adjustment can be different (for example faster in the event of overshoot by overdose only by overrun by underdosing, or vice versa).
  • the alarm can be different so that an operator is informed of the direction of overshoot, or even, as already mentioned, the sorting can be different (it can lead to throwing a overdosed portion, but trying to "fix" an underdosed portion rather than throwing it away).
  • the method continuously implements an action for adjusting the spray setting, without verifying that the threshold has been exceeded.
  • the method implements a feedback loop, consisting of subtracting from the spray setting value, to be submitted as an input parameter to the subsequent spray command, a percentage of the difference between the quantity measured and the reference value (and thus subject the modified setting resulting from this subtraction to the spraying command). This percentage can take various values. The higher the percentage, the faster the correction, but the greater the risk of overcorrection (and generating a deviation in the other direction). The lower the percentage, the slower the adjustment, but the less it risks generating parasitic oscillations.

  • the percentage is set to 30%
  • the reference value is set to 200 mg

  • the quantity measured for example 207 mg
  • the process sends the sprayer a setpoint of spray 2.1 mg less (-30% of 7 mg).
  • the method changes, during iterations, the spray adjustment value, in order to bring the measured value (at the end of the spray) closer to the reference value.
  • the process adjusts (according to a possible implementation) the setting value in proportion to the deviation observed. For example, if the measured value is 10% lower than the reference value, and if the percentage applied for the adjustment is (as above) by 30%, the setting value is increased by 30% by 11, 11% ie 3.33% (NB for a value which is 10% below normal to return to normal, it must be increased by 11, 11%). For a non-linear adjustment value relative to the measured quantity, it is possible to apply an appropriate non-linear adjustment (ie different from the aforementioned proportional adjustment).
  • an action for adjusting the spray setting is only triggered in response to a threshold being exceeded.
  • the measured quantity must then be sufficiently different from the predetermined value for an adjustment to start.
  • This adjustment can be a feedback loop as described in the previous paragraph. But it can also be another type of correction.
  • the method can adjust the spraying control by a constant value less than or equal to the threshold (and not by a percentage of the difference). Indeed, it is assumed that the difference is greater than or equal to this constant value.
  • no adjustment of the spraying adjustment takes place.
