Benefits of technology

[0015]The present invention is based on the development of solvent-based self-adhesive matrices for transdermal therapeutic systems containing increased amounts of rotigotine, which allow for the transdermal administration of therapeutically effective amounts of rotigotine for at least 3 days and up to at least 7 days after one application of a corresponding transdermal therapeutic system and wherein the transdermal therapeutic system complies with the needs of a convenient application in view of size, thickness and skin tolerance and can easily and cost-effectively be prepared.
[0030]The multi-day transdermal therapeutic system of the present invention has the advantage of allowing for a reduced application frequency compared to daily applied conventional transdermal therapeutic systems. This is particularly advantageous for patients suffering from severe dopaminergic disorders, like Parkinson's Disease, as these patients often experience motor disabilities which make the frequent handling and administration of transdermal patches difficult. At the same time, the number of skin application sites to be treated with patches during a long-term patch medication is reduced. A prolongation of the medication interval e.g. from 1 day to at least 3 or even at least 7 days minimizes the potential risk of skin lesions associated with repeated patch stripping from the patients' skin at skin application sites selected for repeated patch administration. In addition, the influence of inter- and intra-individually differing lag-times on the absorption of rotigotine, which may be associated with the daily replacement of rotigotine-containing patches in the case of low skin permeability and which may cause therapeutically unwanted fluctuations of the plasma levels of rotigotine, can be eliminated by the multi-day patches of the present invention. Finally, the replacement of a daily patch administration by one single administration for several days, for example by an administration once or twice weekly, contributes to the reduction of the costs of the respective medication by saving material and production time.

Problems solved by technology

Compared to the hot-meltable adhesive-based transdermal therapeutic systems of WO 2004 / 012721, the solvent-based transdermal therapeutic systems known from the prior art have a limited capacity for loading their self-adhesive layer with rotigotine.
So far, it was therefore not possible to prepare solvent-based transdermal therapeutic systems providing for a continuous release of rotigotine for 3 or more days.
