Embodiment 1

[0127] Embodiment 1 prepares the orodispersible dosage form of three-dimensional printing

[0128] The following method was used to prepare a three-dimensionally printed orodispersible dosage form comprising a matrix comprising LEVs. The composition and amounts used for the printing fluid and loose powder are as follows:

[0129]

[0130]

[0131] An incremental layer of loose powder of predetermined thickness is spread over the previous powder layer, and printing fluid is applied in droplets to bind the particles therein according to a predetermined saturation level, row spacing, and printing fluid flow rate. This two-step process was completed until a substrate containing the target amount of printed incremental layers was obtained.

[0132]Any three-dimensional printer device components known or described herein can be used, but these exemplary formulations can be prepared with a Coriolis Instrument (Dimatix / Spectra Technology Integration, model: Coriolis RP1). The ...

Embodiment 2

[0136] Example 2 Fast Dispersing Flakes with Altered Structure in Different Bulk Layers

[0137] Preparation of taste-masked three-dimensionally printed orodispersible dosage forms with altered structure in the bulking layer

[0138] According to the 3DP method described above, but it can be carried out in several different ways to prepare dosage forms of different structures varying in hardness and bulk layer composition. The following method provides a hardness of the upper and lower surfaces of the wafer that is greater than the hardness of the inner portion of the wafer. This strategy facilitates the generation of parts in flakes with different mechanical properties. This approach is used to design flakes where the composition of the top and bottom layers differs from that of the middle layer. This design results in flakes with stronger top and bottom layers, which increase hardness and reduce brittleness, and a large middle part with less hardness, which allows the flak...

Embodiment 3

[0149] The characterization of embodiment 3 dosage form

[0150] The following method was used to characterize the 3D printed solid porous dispersion matrix.

[0151] brittleness

[0152] The resistance of the matrix to fracture was analyzed using the Tablet Friability Test (USP method ). The test used a VanKel brittleness tester (Model 45-2000, Varian, USA) equipped with a drum size of 285 mm in diameter and 39 mm in depth, rotated 100 times at 25 rpm. A minimum of 10 flakes are dropped per revolution through curved protrusions extending from the middle of the drum to the outer wall. Thus, at each inversion, the tablets are rolled or slid about 130 mm onto the drum or onto the tablets next to each other. All loose powder was removed from the tablet and the tablet was weighed before and after 100 cycles.

[0153] surface material

[0154] The matrix was inspected visually with or without a microscope. The surface texture is analyzed to determine whether it is rough o...

Abstract

A high dose rapidly dispersing three-dimensionally printed dosage form comprising a high dose of levetiracetam in a porous matrix that disperses in water within a period of less than about 10 seconds is disclosed. Also disclosed are methods of preparing the dosage form and of treating a condition, disease or disorder that is therapeutically responsive to levetiracetam. A process for preparing the dosage form is also provided

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to a fast dispersing (orodispersing) dosage form of levetiracetam. In particular, the dosage form disperses in a period of less than about 15 seconds when placed in the mouth of a subject. The invention also relates to methods of use of said dosage forms for the treatment of diseases, disorders or conditions that are therapeutically responsive to levetiracetam. The invention also provides a process for preparing said dosage form. Background technique [0002] Contains levetiracetam (LEV; (S)-2-(2-oxopyrrolidin-1-yl)butanamide; (-)-(S)-α-ethyl-2-oxo-1- Pyrrolidineacetamide; described in U.S. 4,943,639) is known in solid oral dosage forms (FDA Electronic Orange Book). Solid tablets are currently available under the trade name Obtained (NDAN021035, UCB, Inc., date of approval November 30, 1999; see the instructions in the package http: / / dailymed.nlm.nih.gov / dailymed / drugInfo.cfm? id=9870 ). These tablets are known to ...
