Definitions
- This invention pertains to a novel dosage form comprising hydromorphone for the management of pain.
- the invention concerns also a novel therapeutic composition comprising hydromorphone indicated for treating pain.
- the invention relates additionally to a method for the management of pain by administering continuously release-rate controlled doses of hydromorphone over an extended time to produce analgesic therapy.
- Hydromorphone is an analgesic with its principal therapeutic effect, the relief of pain.
- the precise mechanism of action of hydromorphone is not medically understood, although it is thought to relate to the existence of hydromorphone receptors in the central nervous system.
- the analgesic action of parenterally administered hydromorphone is apparent within fifteen minutes and the onset of action of orally administered hydromorphone is somewhat slower, with analgesia occurring within thirty minutes.
- the half-life of hydromorphone is about two and one-half hours.
- Hydromorphone is indicated for the relief of moderate to severe pain, such as pain due to infection, surgery, cancer, trauma, biliary colic, disease, renal colic, myocardial infarction, and burns.
- a pharmaceutically-acceptable dosage form for oral administering hydromorphone to provide analgesic therapy beyond its short half-life at a controlled-rate over an extended period of time appears to be lacking in the pharmaceutical and medical arts.
- the pharmacological and medical properties of hydromorphone are known in Pharmaceutical Sciences , Remington, 17th Ed., pp. 1099-1044, (1985); and in the Pharmacological Basis of Therapeutics , Goodman and Rall, 8th Ed., pp. 485-518, (1990).
- the present invention unexpectedly provides both a dosage form comprising hydromorphone and a therapeutic composition comprising hydromorphone for the management of pain. That is, the prior art did not appreciate that hydromorphone, which is a complex chemical 4,5-expoxy-3-hydroxy-17-methyl-morphinan-6-one, comprising five rings substituted with different chemical groups, can be made into a continuous release dosage form, or into a therapeutic composition. The prior did not appreciate a dosage form and a therapeutic composition can be made available comprising an osmogel such as a polyalkylene oxide and other ingredients including an osmagent. The prior art did not make obvious hydromorphone formulated with a polyalkylene oxide, as the mechanism which controlled the release of hydromorphone from polyalkylene oxide are complex polymers.
- the hydromorphone could become immobile and trapped in the polyalkylene oxide, also, the polyalkylene oxide could exhibit unacceptable swelling in the presence of aqueous including biological fluid and thereby change the rate of release of the hydromorphone from the polyalkylene oxide.
- the osmogel such as polyalkylene oxide, can possess a glass-transition temperature below human body temperature, which leads away from using hydromorphone in such an environment.
- hydromorphone and polyalkylene oxide exemplified by the crystallinity of hydromorphone in polyalkylene oxide, the burst or lag effect of hydromorphone in polyalkylene oxide, the hydromorphone solubility in a polyalkylene oxide hydrogel all attest to the nonobviousness of the present invention.
- hydromorphone Prior to this invention, hydromorphone was administered in conventional forms, such as a nonrate-controlling dose-dumping tablet or by a dose-dumping capsule, and usually at multiple, repetitive dosing intervals.
- This prior-art mode of therapy leads to an initial high dose of hydromorphone in the blood, followed by a decreased dose of hydromorphone in the blood.
- the need exists to provide a novel therapeutic composition comprising hydromorphone, and the need exists to provide a novel method of administering hydromorphone to a patient in need of hydromorphone therapy.
- the invention provides an oral, relatively-easy to administer mode and manner of hydromorphone therapy.
- Another object of the present invention is to make available to the medical-pharmaceutical art a dosage form that delivers a member selected from the group consisting of hydromorphone and its pharmaceutically acceptable salts in a sustained-release dosage program over time.
- Another object of the invention is to provide a novel dosage form for administering hydromorphone to a patient at a controlled rate and in a continuous dose over time.
- Another object of the invention is to provide a therapeutic composition
- a therapeutic composition comprising an orally administrable solid hydromorphone comprising an osmopolymer that can be administered as an oral, solid therapeutic composition or administered from an osmotic dosage form comprising the solid initially dry therapeutic composition.
- Another object of the invention is to provide a pharmaceutically acceptable composition
- a pharmaceutically acceptable composition comprising a member selected from the group consisting of hydromorphone and its pharmaceutically acceptable salts for the relief of moderate to severe pain due to surgery, cancer, trauma, tissue, bone, colic, myocardial infarction, burns and rectal pain in a human patient.
- Another object of the invention is to provide a therapeutic composition comprising hydromorphone and an osmotic attractant for delivering a known concentration per unit time for hydromorphone therapy.
- Another object of the invention is to provide a hydromorphone formulation that delivers, in a controlled-continuous releasing dose, hydromorphone to a patient in need of hydromorphone therapy for maintaining a hydromorphone level in the blood as a function of the hydromorphone releasing formulation.
- Another object of the invention is to provide both a novel dosage form and a novel dosage composition, which in both form, delivers hydromorphone as an analgesic to relieve pain by altering the psychological response to pain and suppress anxiety and apprehension in a patient.
- Another object of the invention is to provide a method for administering hydromorphone to a patient for lessening a patient's pain.
- Another object of the invention is to make available a composition
- a composition comprising hydromorphone blended with a pharmaceutically acceptable polymer and an osmotically active agent.
- Another object of the invention is to provide a dosage form comprising an external coat comprising hydromorphone for immediate hydromorphone therapy.
- Another object of the invention is to provide a dosage form that delivers hydromorphone that reduces and/or eliminates the unwanted influences of a gastrointestinal environment on the delivery of hydromorphone from the dosage form in the gastrointestinal tract of a human.

Description
- This application is application is a division of U.S. application Ser. No. 08/935,223 filed on Sep. 22, 1997, which application Ser. No. 08/935,223 is a continuation-in-part of U.S. application Ser. No. 08/611,294 filed on Mar. 5, 1996 now U.S. Pat. No. 5,702,725 issued Dec. 30, 1997, which application Ser.

- This invention pertains to a novel dosage form comprising hydromorphone for the management of pain. The invention concerns also a novel therapeutic composition comprising hydromorphone indicated for treating pain. The invention relates additionally to a method for the management of pain by administering continuously release-rate controlled doses of hydromorphone over an extended time to produce analgesic therapy.
- Hydromorphone is an analgesic with its principal therapeutic effect, the relief of pain. The precise mechanism of action of hydromorphone is not medically understood, although it is thought to relate to the existence of hydromorphone receptors in the central nervous system. Generally, the analgesic action of parenterally administered hydromorphone is apparent within fifteen minutes and the onset of action of orally administered hydromorphone is somewhat slower, with analgesia occurring within thirty minutes. In human plasma, the half-life of hydromorphone is about two and one-half hours. Hydromorphone is indicated for the relief of moderate to severe pain, such as pain due to infection, surgery, cancer, trauma, biliary colic, disease, renal colic, myocardial infarction, and burns. A pharmaceutically-acceptable dosage form for oral administering hydromorphone to provide analgesic therapy beyond its short half-life at a controlled-rate over an extended period of time appears to be lacking in the pharmaceutical and medical arts. The pharmacological and medical properties of hydromorphone are known in Pharmaceutical Sciences, Remington, 17th Ed., pp. 1099-1044, (1985); and in the Pharmacological Basis of Therapeutics, Goodman and Rall, 8th Ed., pp. 485-518, (1990).
- The present invention unexpectedly provides both a dosage form comprising hydromorphone and a therapeutic composition comprising hydromorphone for the management of pain. That is, the prior art did not appreciate that hydromorphone, which is a complex chemical 4,5-expoxy-3-hydroxy-17-methyl-morphinan-6-one, comprising five rings substituted with different chemical groups, can be made into a continuous release dosage form, or into a therapeutic composition. The prior did not appreciate a dosage form and a therapeutic composition can be made available comprising an osmogel such as a polyalkylene oxide and other ingredients including an osmagent. The prior art did not make obvious hydromorphone formulated with a polyalkylene oxide, as the mechanism which controlled the release of hydromorphone from polyalkylene oxide are complex polymers. For example, the hydromorphone could become immobile and trapped in the polyalkylene oxide, also, the polyalkylene oxide could exhibit unacceptable swelling in the presence of aqueous including biological fluid and thereby change the rate of release of the hydromorphone from the polyalkylene oxide. Further, the osmogel such as polyalkylene oxide, can possess a glass-transition temperature below human body temperature, which leads away from using hydromorphone in such an environment. Additionally, the properties of hydromorphone and polyalkylene oxide, exemplified by the crystallinity of hydromorphone in polyalkylene oxide, the burst or lag effect of hydromorphone in polyalkylene oxide, the hydromorphone solubility in a polyalkylene oxide hydrogel all attest to the nonobviousness of the present invention.
- Prior to this invention, hydromorphone was administered in conventional forms, such as a nonrate-controlling dose-dumping tablet or by a dose-dumping capsule, and usually at multiple, repetitive dosing intervals. This prior-art mode of therapy leads to an initial high dose of hydromorphone in the blood, followed by a decreased dose of hydromorphone in the blood.
- The concentration differences in dosing patterns are related to the presence and absence of administered drug, which is a major disadvantage associated with conventional dosage forms. Conventional dosage forms and their mode of operation, including dose peaks and valleys, are discussed in Pharmaceutical Sciences, Remington, 18th Ed., pp 1676-1686, (1990), Mark Publishing Co.; The Pharmaceutical and Clinical Pharmacokinetics, 3 rd Ed., pp 1-28, (1984), Lea and Febiger, Philadelphia.; and in U.S. Pat. Nos. 3,598,122 and 3,598,123, both issued to Zaffaroni.
- The above presentation dictates of the critical need for a dosage form and for a therapeutic composition that overcomes the shortcomings of conventional dosage forms, including tablets, capsules, elixirs and suspensions. These conventional dosage forms and their accompanying peaks and valleys do not provide for dose-regulated drug therapy over an extended period of time. The hydromorphone as delivered by the prior art is often dosed two or more times a day, which does not lend itself to controlled and sustained therapy. This prior-art pattern of drug administration speaks of the need for a dosage form and for a therapeutic composition that can administer hydromorphone in a rate-controlled dose over an extended time to provide constant therapy, and thereby eliminate the peaks, valleys, and multiple uncontrolled dosing of the prior art.
- In view of the foregoing presentation, it is immediately apparent that a serious need exists for an improvement in the delivery of hydromorphone for its therapeutic analgesic effect. The need exists to provide a novel therapeutic composition comprising hydromorphone, and the need exists to provide a novel method of administering hydromorphone to a patient in need of hydromorphone therapy. The invention provides an oral, relatively-easy to administer mode and manner of hydromorphone therapy.
- Accordingly, in view of the above presentation it is an immediate object of this invention to provide a dosage form and a therapeutic composition for delivering hydromorphone for pain relief, which dosage form and therapeutic composition overcome the shortcomings known to the prior art.
- Another object of the present invention is to make available to the medical-pharmaceutical art a dosage form that delivers a member selected from the group consisting of hydromorphone and its pharmaceutically acceptable salts in a sustained-release dosage program over time. Another object of the invention is to provide a novel dosage form for administering hydromorphone to a patient at a controlled rate and in a continuous dose over time.
- Another object of the invention is to provide a therapeutic composition comprising an orally administrable solid hydromorphone comprising an osmopolymer that can be administered as an oral, solid therapeutic composition or administered from an osmotic dosage form comprising the solid initially dry therapeutic composition.
- Another object of the invention is to provide a pharmaceutically acceptable composition comprising a member selected from the group consisting of hydromorphone and its pharmaceutically acceptable salts for the relief of moderate to severe pain due to surgery, cancer, trauma, tissue, bone, colic, myocardial infarction, burns and rectal pain in a human patient.
- Another object of the invention is to provide a therapeutic composition comprising hydromorphone and an osmotic attractant for delivering a known concentration per unit time for hydromorphone therapy.
- Another object of the invention is to provide a hydromorphone formulation that delivers, in a controlled-continuous releasing dose, hydromorphone to a patient in need of hydromorphone therapy for maintaining a hydromorphone level in the blood as a function of the hydromorphone releasing formulation.
- Another object of the invention is to provide both a novel dosage form and a novel dosage composition, which in both form, delivers hydromorphone as an analgesic to relieve pain by altering the psychological response to pain and suppress anxiety and apprehension in a patient.
- Another object of the invention is to provide a method for administering hydromorphone to a patient for lessening a patient's pain.
- Another object of the invention is to make available a composition comprising hydromorphone blended with a pharmaceutically acceptable polymer and an osmotically active agent.
- Another object of the invention is to provide a dosage form comprising an external coat comprising hydromorphone for immediate hydromorphone therapy.
- Another object of the invention is to provide a dosage form that delivers hydromorphone that reduces and/or eliminates the unwanted influences of a gastrointestinal environment on the delivery of hydromorphone from the dosage form in the gastrointestinal tract of a human.
- Other objects, features and advantages of the invention will be more apparent to those versed in the dispensing art, and from the accompanying detailed specification, then in conjunction with the accompanying claims.

Wall 12 ofdosage form 10 is manufactured in one process comprising an air suspension process. This process consists in suspending and tumbling a compressed drug core comprising a single-layered core or a bilayered core in a current of air and wall-forming composition until a wall is applied to the single-layered core or the bilayered core. The air suspension procedure is well suited for independently forming the wall. The air suspension procedure is described in U.S. Patent No. 2,799,241; J Amer Pharm Assoc, Vol. 48, pp. 451-454 (1959); and ibid.; Vol. 49, pp. 82-84 (1960).Dosage form 10 can be coated also with a wall-forming composition in an air suspension coater using a solvent, such as a methylene dichloride-methanol cosolvent comprising 80:20 wt:wt, or an ethanol-water cosolvent, or an acetone-water cosolvent consisting of 95:5 wt:wt using 2.5 to 4% solvents. - An air suspension coater using a methylene dichloride-methanol cosolvent, for example, 80:20 wt:wt, can be used for appyling the wall. Other wall-forming techniques, such as a pan-coating system wherein wall-forming compositions are deposited by successive spraying of the drug-core composition to provide a wall that defines and surrounds a compartment, accompanied by tumbling in a rotating pan. Finally, the wall-coated cores are dried in an oven, forced or nonforced air oven, at 30-50° C. for up to a week to free the dosage form of solvent. The walls formed by these techniques have a thickness of 1 to 30 mils (0.0254 to 0.762 mm).
-
Dosage form 10 of the invention is manufactured by other manufacturing techniques. For example, in one manufacture the drug and other core-forming ingredients comprising a single drug layer or bilayer core with drug facing the exit means 13 are blended and pressed into a solid layer or a solid bilayer. The drug and other ingredients can be dry-blended or blended with a solvent and mixed into a solid or semisolid formed by conventional methods such as ball-milling, calendaring, stirring, roll-milling, or churning, and can then be pressed into a preselected shape. The layer possesses dimensions that correspond to the internal dimensions of the area the single layer occupies in the dosage form, or in a bilayer where it also possesses dimensions corresponding to the first and second layer for forming a contacting arrangement therewith. In a bilayered core, the push layer is placed in contact with the drug layer. The push layer is manufactured using techniques for providing the drug layer. The layering of the drug layer and the push layer can be fabricated by conventional press-layering techniques. Finally, a single layer or a two-layer compartment forming members are surrounded and coated with an exterior wall. A passageway is provided, such as by laser or mechanically drilled through the wall to contact the drug layer. When the passageway is formed by a laser, the dosage form is optically oriented automatically by the laser equipment for forming the passageway on the preselected surface for forming the passageway. - In another manufacture,
dosage form 10 is manufactured by a granulation technique. Granulation is a process of size enlargement whereby small particles are gathered into larger aggregates in which the original particles can still be identified. Granulation can be divided into a dry method, wherein no liquid is used for the aggregation, or into a wet method, wherein a liquid is used for granule agglomeration of powder particles followed by a drying process. Granulation is reported in Encyclopedia of Pharmaceutical Technology, Vol. 7, pp. 121-160, (1993), published by Marcel Dekker, Inc. In the wet granulation technique, for example, the drug and other ingredients comprising the composition or drug-forming layer, or the drug-forming expandable bilayer core are blended using a solvent, such as ethyl alcohol-water 98:2 v:v (volume:volume) as the granulation fluid. Other granulating fluid, such as denaturedalcohol 100%, can be used for this purpose. The ingredients forming the drug core or bilayers are individually passed through a mesh screen, such as a U.S. Sieve Series screen, and then thoroughly blended in a mixer. Other ingredients comprising the layer or layers are dissolved in a portion of the granulation fluid, such as the cosolvent described above. Then, the latter prepared wet blend is added slowly to the drug blend with continual mixing in the blender. The granulating fluid is added until a wet blend is produced, which wet mass is then forced through a mesh screen onto oven trays. The blend is dried for 18 to 24 hours at 30-50° C. The dry granules are then sized with a mesh screen. Next, a lubricant is passed through a screen and added to the dry screen granule blend. The granulation is placed in a blender and blended for 1 to 15 minutes. A push layer is made by the same wet granulation, which consists in suspending and tumbling the two contacting layers in a current of air until the wall-forming composition surrounds the layers. The air suspension procedure is described in U.S. Pat. No. 2,799,241; J Amer Pharm Assoc, Vol. 48, pp. 451-454 (1979); and ibid., Vol. 49, pp. 82-84 (1960). Other standard manufacturing procedures are described in Modern Plastics Encyclopedia, Vol. 46, pp. 62-70 (1969); and Pharmaceutical Sciences, Remington, 14th Ed., pp. 1626-1678 (1970), Mack Publishing Co., Easton, Pa. Granulation techniques are described in ibid., pp. 1655-1660 (1970). - Exemplary solvents suitable for manufacturing the wall, a single layer and a bilayer include inert inorganic and organic solvents.
