Injectable formulation, use of injectable formulation and administration device

Abstract

The present invention relates to an injectable formulation, use of an injectable formulation and an administration device. The injectable formulation comprises a lipid matrix composition, a specific amount of a GLP-1 receptor agonist and at least one pharmaceutically acceptable ion. Accordingly, upon contacting an aqueous fluid, the injectable formulation forms a depot exhibiting an extended release of the GLP-1 receptor agonist in vivo or in vitro. In the use of the injectable formulation for manufacturing the pharmaceutical composition, the injectable formulation can be administered to a subject with a reduced dosing frequency, and it is not necessary to store the injectable formulation for the next administration. For the administration device, the injectable formulation is filled in a vial, a pre-filled syringe or a pre-filled cartridge. Therefore, the injectable formulation can be designed for a single use, thereby enhancing convenience, compliance and adherence of a subject.
