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 designed 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:
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 a method of treating MS in a human patient in need of such treatment and comprises administering to said patient a combination therapy in a single oral dosage form (e.g. a tablet or capsule) of dimethylfumarate and one agent selected from teriflunomide (or its prodrug leflunomide), fingolimod and laquinimod. This combination is more effective than the single agents alone and/or has reduced side effects and better tolerability than the single agents alone and/or can be given in a reduced frequency. Moreover, the present invention is directed to a pharmaceutical composition suitable for the oral treatment of multiple sclerosis consisting of dimethylfumarate and one agent selected from teriflunomide, fingolimod and laquinimod as active ingredients and one or more pharmaceutically acceptable excipients.
