Sustained-Release Dosage Forms Of Ruxolitinib

Patent No. EP2919766 (titled "Sustained-Release Dosage Forms Of Ruxolitinib") was filed by Incyte on Nov 14, 2013. The application was issued on May 26, 2021.

Patent Summary

Sustained-release oral dosage form of ruxolitinib, a JAK inhibitor, that reduces the frequency of dosing while maintaining therapeutic efficacy. The dosage form contains ruxolitinib and a sustained-release matrix former like hydroxypropyl methylcellulose. Administering this formulation to humans results in lower peak and trough plasma concentrations of ruxolitinib compared to immediate-release tablets. It also reduces the number of daily doses needed to treat JAK-associated diseases like autoimmunity and myeloproliferative disorders. The sustained-release formulation provides a more consistent and predictable ruxolitinib plasma profile.
