Abstract:
A pharmaceutical formulation comprising an erosion matrix comprising one or more fumaric acid esters as well as one or more rate-controlling agents, wherein erosion of said erosion matrix permits controlled release of said fumaric acid ester(s).
Abstract:
The present invention relates to controlled release pharmaceutical compositions comprising fumaric acid ester(s) as active substance(s). The compositions are suitable for use in the treatment of e.g. psoriasis or other hyperproliferative, inflammatory or autoimmune disorders and are designated to release the fumaric acid ester in a controlled manner so that local high concentrations of the active substance within the gastrointestinal tract upon oral administration can be avoided and, thereby, enabling a reduction in gastro-intestinal related side-effects.

Abstract:
The invention features a method of treating a subject in need of treatment for multiple sclerosis. The method involves orally administering to the subject in need thereof a pharmaceutical composition in unit dosage form consisting essentially of (a) from about 120 mg to about 240 mg of dimethylfumarate formulated for delayed release, and (b) one or more pharmaceutically acceptable excipients, wherein following the orally administering of the unit dosage form monomethylfumarate appears in the plasma of the subject upon hydrolysis of dimethylfumarate and the Cmax of the monomethylfumarate in the plasma of the subject is between about 0.4 and about 2 mg/L, and wherein about 480 mg of dimethylfumarate per day is orally administered to the subject.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to pharmaceutical compositions containing dimethyl fumarate (DMF), More specifically, the present invention relates to a pharmaceutical composition for oral use in treating hyperproliferative, inflammatory or autoimmune disorders by administering a low daily dosage in the range of 410 mg±5% or 400 mg±5% dimethyl fumarate, wherein the pharmaceutical formulation is in the form of an erosion matrix tablet.
