DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF EMBODIMENTS The present disclosure in various aspects and embodiments provides formulations that solubilize and / or suspend poorly soluble active ingredients, such as but not limited to ketotifen and indomethacin, for use in coating processes to manufacture drug products. In other aspects, the disclosure provides drug products (e.g. spray-coated drug products) with low impurities and high homogeneity and mass transfer efficiencies relative to products produced with conventional pan coating or spray-coating processes. In aspects, the disclosure provides pharmaceutical compositions and methods of treatment involving these drug products. In various aspects and embodiments, the disclosure provides a drug product for oral administration (and corresponding manufacturing processes), comprising beads coated with ketotifen and / or indomethacin. In embodiments, the drug product comprises beads that have two active ingredients and inactive ingredients coated onto a carrier substrate (e.g., sugar sphere cores). In embodiments, the present disclosure provides a ketotifen immediate release / indomethacin extended release capsule drug product for oral administration. In embodiments, the coating process for manufacturing the drug product comprises a manual coating process, a fixed spray coating process, or a fluid bed dryer (FBD) spray coating DB1 / 145295370.1 2 SJP-010PC 119887-5010 process, or a combination of these coating techniques for different layers of the beads. In embodiments, the active ingredients are applied to separate bead populations and filled to the proper ratio within the same capsule. In embodiments, one or more poorly soluble drug substances are suspended in a mixture of an aqueous and organic solvent with co-solvent polymers that act as the vehicle for the feed suspension / solution to be coated or sprayed onto the carrier (e.g., sugar spheres). This matrix contains a concentration of actives, pH and seal / binder polymers that do not degrade the active ingredients in situ and produce a minimum concentration of impurities during extended storage. If two different actives are coated onto the same bead population, then a seal coating matrix may be applied between these active coating layers to prevent comingling of active ingredients. As described herein, critical process parameters were determined for a coating process to determine an optimal time of coating and uniformity of mass transfer to the coated beads. In addition, suitable packaging materials and configurations with oxygen scavengers can minimize the aggregate impurity profile during shelf life of the drug product. The final outcome of these measures produces a final oral solid dose product with minimal related substances or impurity profile. There are many challenges to creating a successful spray-coating feed solution / suspension. The matrix of the feed solution / suspension must be able to solubilize or suspend the active ingredients homogenously so that they can flow through a spray nozzle (atomization) during the coating process and maintain blend uniformity of the final beads. The matrix must also have a solid content and binder(s) to apply the active ingredients to the carrier (sugar spheres) in a uniform manner and not create twining or sticking of the beads to each other. The matrix must provide a chemical environment to minimize the initiation of degradation pathways for the active ingredients while the active ingredients are in situ during the spray coating process. The poor solubility of drugs such as ketotifen (e.g., ketotifen fumarate) and indomethacin is a significant challenge to the formulation of the feed solution / suspension. Indomethacin is practically insoluble in water and sparingly soluble in alcohol. It has a pKa of 4.5 and is stable in neutral or slightly acidic media and decomposes in strong alkali. The molecular weight of indomethacin is 357.79 and its molecular formula is C19H16ClNO4. DB1 / 145295370.1 3 SJP-010PC 119887-5010 The structure of indomethacin is shown in FIG. 1. The following Table 1 illustrates indomethacin-related impurities. Table 1.

Other fillers that may be used include sugars such as lactose, dextrose, sucrose and maltose, microcrystalline cellulose and the like. In an aspect, the disclosure provides a method for making a pharmaceutical composition. The method comprises the steps of providing a solution or suspension described herein, and applying the solution or suspension to a pharmaceutically acceptable carrier via a coating process. In embodiments, the carrier is a bead, which may have an average size of from about 5 to about 50 mesh, or from about 5 to about 40 mesh, or from about 10 to about 50 mesh, or from about 10 to about 40 mesh, or from about 15 to about 50 mesh, from about 15 to about 40 mesh, or from about 20 to about 50 mesh, or from about 25 to about 50 mesh, or from about 25 to about 40 mesh, or from about 25 to about 35 mesh. The core particles can be water insoluble particles comprising different oxides, celluloses (e.g., microcrystalline cellulose), organic polymers and other materials, and mixtures thereof, or water soluble particles comprising different inorganic salts, sugars, and other materials, and mixtures thereof. Common forms of such core beads are commercially available such as Celpheres™. In embodiments, the bead is a sugar bead having a 25 to 32 mesh bead. In embodiments, the pharmaceutical composition comprises a first inner drug coating prepared from the indomethacin solution or suspension, and a second outer drug coating DB1 / 145295370.1 10 SJP-010PC 119887-5010 prepared from the ketotifen (e.g., ketotifen fumarate) solution or suspension. In embodiments, the ketotifen coating has an immediate release dissolution profile as described herein (with exemplary profile shown in FIG. 3). For example, in embodiments, the composition releases at least 75% of the ketotifen within 1 hour, or within 30 minutes, in dissolution media (e.g., phosphate buffer pH 6.2). In embodiments, the indomethacin coating has an extended release profile as described herein (with exemplary profile shown in FIG. 3). For example, in embodiments, the composition releases no more than 25% of the indomethacin within 1 hour. In embodiments, the composition releases no more than 50% of the indomethacin within 2 hours. In embodiments, the composition releases no more than 75% of the indomethacin within 4 hours. In embodiments, the beads comprise a protective barrier between the indomethacin and ketotifen fumarate coatings. In embodiments, a seal feed solution does not generate impurities during extended storage. For example, the seal feed may comprise or consist of water at about 10% or less by volume, solvent (e.g., IPA) at about 90% or less by volume (e.g., about 80 to about 90% by volume), polymer (e.g., HPMC) at about 3 wt% or less by weight (e.g., about 1 to about 3% by weight), sugar alcohol (e.g., mannitol) at about 3 wt% or less by weight (e.g., about 1 to about 3% by weight). In other embodiments, the beads do not comprise a protective barrier between the indomethacin and ketotifen fumarate coating. In embodiments, the composition comprises at least two bead populations, a first bead population comprising a coating formed from an NSAID coating, such as the indomethacin solution or suspension, and a second bead population comprising a coating formed from the ketotifen solution or suspension. In embodiments, a first (indomethacin- coated) bead population has an extended release profile as described above. In embodiments, the second (ketotifen-coated) bead population has an immediate release dissolution profile as described above. The coated particles can optionally comprise an overcoat layer. The overcoat materials are pharmaceutically acceptable compounds selected from sugars, polyethylene glycol, polyvinylpyrrolidone, polyvinyl alcohol, polyvinyl acetate, hydroxypropyl cellulose, methylcellulose, ethylcellulose, hydroxypropyl methylcellulose, carboxymethylcellulose DB1 / 145295370.1 11 SJP-010PC 119887-5010 sodium and others, used alone or in mixtures. The overcoat materials can prevent potential agglomeration of particles, protect the coatings from cracking during the manufacturing process. In embodiments, the beads further comprise an enteric coating (e.g., a pH-dependent polymer coating comprising polymethacrylates) that is stable in simulated gastric fluid but unstable in simulated intestinal fluid, to deliver active agents past the stomach. Such enteric agents are known, such as EUDRAGIT polymers. Any coating process can be used to create the coatings or bead populations. In embodiments, the coating process is a fluid bed spray coating process. In embodiments, the disclosure provides a spray coating process and drug product composition created thereby. The term “spray coating” refers to a process involving breaking up liquid mixtures into small droplets (atomization), applying these droplets to a target substrate (e.g., carrier such as a sugar bead) to be coated, and rapidly removing the solvent (aqueous or organic) from the mixture in a drying chamber where there is a strong driving force for evaporation of solvent from the droplets. The strong driving force for solvent evaporation is generally provided by counter current gas (air or nitrogen) stream up thru the coated substrates. In embodiments, the temperature and flow rate of the drying gas is chosen so that the solid content contained in the droplets of spray suspension / solution are dried on the substrate enough that they are essentially solid and the coated substrates do not stick to each other or the apparatus wall. The actual length of time to achieve this level of dryness depends on the size of the droplets and the conditions at which the process is operated. Droplet sizes may range from 1 μm to 500 μm in diameter. A general “film coating” process is illustrated in FIG.4. The Wurster coating process is illustrated in FIG.5. These embodiments employ a bottom-spray coating process that takes place in a fluidized bed. At the bottom of the fluidized bed, a distributor plate with a specific pattern of orifices determines the distribution of the hot fluidization airflow. This airflow is responsible for the motion of pellets. There are one or more two-fluid spray nozzles at the bottom of the fluidized bed. These spray nozzles supply a liquid solution as well as an atomization airflow that breaks the solution into small droplets. The spray nozzles thus form a spray region at the bottom of the fluidized bed. As the pellets travel through this region, they receive a coating solution in the form of DB1 / 145295370.1 12 SJP-010PC 119887-5010 droplets, and, as they move around in the fluidized bed, the liquid droplets are dried by the hot airflow to form a film layer on each pellet. Based on particle behavior, the fluidized bed can be divided into different regions. During coating pellets receive the coating solution in the spray zone, and then dry as they return to the spray zone after having traveled through the Wurster partition tube, the downbed, and the horizontal transport regions. This sequence of coating and drying as the pellets travel through the different regions of the fluidized bed is referred to as a particle coating cycle. The time it takes for a pellet to complete a cycle is defined as the cycle time. Similarly, the time that a pellet spends in a specific region is defined as the residence time in that region. Not only may a pellet behave differently from other pellets, but a pellet in one cycle can also behave differently from that same pellet in a different cycle. It is thus clear that pellets have both a cycle time distribution (CTD) and a residence time distribution (RTD) in different regions. The CTD and the RTD of particles in the spray zone together determine the amount of coating deposited on the pellets. Since the performance of the medicine to a great extent depends on the thickness of the coating film, it is clear that the CTD and the RTD of particles in the spray zone are critical factors in determining the coating film thickness and its variability. In embodiments, the spray coating is applied with a Wurster nozzle. For example, the process may comprise the following parameters using a Wurster nozzle: nozzle pressure is from about 5 psi to about 20 psi, or from about 10 psi to about 20 psi; acceleration pressure is from about 5 psi to about 30 psi, such as from about 20 psi to about 30 psi; air flow is from about 10 psi to about 35 psi; temperature is from about 20° C to about 45° C; and solution feed rate is from about 50 g / min to about 400 g / min. In embodiments, the spray rate is from about 1.5 g / min to about 3.0 g / min. In embodiments, the nozzle pressure is from about 10 psi to about 15 psi, the acceleration pressure is about 20 psi to about 25 psi, and the spray rate is about 1.5 g / min. to about 2.5 g / min, or from about 1.5 g / min to about 2.0 g / min. In other embodiments, the process involves a pan coating process. In embodiments, the method further comprises drying the coated carriers. In embodiments, the coated carrier is dried at a temperature in the range of 30° C to 45° C. DB1 / 145295370.1 13 SJP-010PC 119887-5010 In embodiments, the method further comprises inserting the coated carriers into a capsule suitable for oral administration. In embodiments, the capsule is gelatin or hydroxypropyl methylcellulose (HPMC), or other suitable carrier. In embodiments, the capsules are packaged with an oxygen scavenger.

In other aspects, the disclosure provides a method for treating a condition in a subject. In embodiments, the disclosure provides a method for treating or preventing an inflammatory disease or condition in a subject in need thereof. The method comprises administering the pharmaceutical composition of the present disclosure. In embodiments, the inflammatory disease or condition is an infectious disease, such as a virus infection. In embodiments, the virus infection is an influenza virus infection or a rhinovirus infection, or a common cold. The common cold is an acute, self-limiting viral infection of the upper respiratory tract involving the nose, sinuses, pharynx and larynx. Over two hundred virus strains are implicated in the cause of the common cold, with the rhinoviruses being the most common. The virus is spread by hand contact with secretions DB1 / 145295370.1 16 SJP-010PC 119887-5010 from an infected person (direct or indirect) or aerosol of the secretions and virus. The incubation period varies but is about two days for rhinovirus. Symptoms, which generally relate to the infected mucosa, typically peak at 1-3 days and last 7-10 days. Symptoms include sore throat, rhinitis, rhinorrhea, cough, malaise, runny nose, sneezing, headache, and fever. In embodiments, the inflammatory disease or condition is a coronavirus infection. Coronaviruses are a large family of viruses that cause illness ranging from the common cold to more severe diseases such as Middle East Respiratory Syndrome (MERS-CoV), Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome (SARS-CoV) and Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19). Coronaviruses are zoonotic, meaning that they are transmitted between animals and people. COVID-19 is an infectious disease caused by the severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2). SARS-CoV-2 virus is an enveloped, positive-sense, single- stranded RNA beta-coronavirus. The disease has spread globally since 2019. COVID-19 is a poorly understood disease with limited effective treatments. Common symptoms of COVID-19 include fever, cough and shortness of breath. Muscle pain, sputum production and sore throat are some of the less common symptoms. While the majority of cases result in mild symptoms, some progress to pneumonia, severe acute respiratory syndrome, multi-organ failure and even death. The disease is more likely to occur in people whose immune system is impaired due to age, immunosuppressive therapy, chronic disease, psychological stress, or other factors. Accordingly, in embodiments the present disclosure provides a method of preventing or treating infection of beta- coronaviruses, such as SARS-CoV-2, and / or reducing symptoms of associated disease (e.g., COVID-19). In embodiments, therapy can be initiated before the onset of COVID-19 symptoms or after the onset of symptoms. In some embodiments, therapy is initiated soon after the first appearance of symptoms. In some embodiments, the subject is asymptomatic, but tests positive for SARS-CoV-2 (or other beta-coronavirus). In some embodiments, therapy is initiated as soon it is first suspected that the individual has an infection or disease caused by SARS-CoV-2 (or other beta-coronavirus), but before the onset of symptom(s) of the disease. In various embodiments, the subject has one or more risk factors for COVID-19. In various DB1 / 145295370.1 17 SJP-010PC 119887-5010 embodiments, the subject is experiencing one or more symptoms selected from congestion, cough, fever, loss of taste, loss of smell, muscle pain, joint pain (myalgia), fatigue, sore throat, headache, myocarditis, coagulopathy, renal injury or failure, liver damage or failure, neurological impairment, hypoxia, pneumonia with or without hypoxia, acute respiratory syndrome, or multi-organ failure. In embodiments, the inflammatory disease or condition is long COVID. Long COVID refers to a range of symptoms that can last weeks or months after a subject is first infected with SARS-CoV-2 or experiences symptoms of COVID-19. Long COVID can occur in any subject who has had COVID-19, even if the illness was mild, or if they had no initial symptoms. Long COVID symptoms include one or more of difficulty breathing or shortness of breath, tiredness or fatigue, symptoms aggravated after physical or mental activities, difficulty thinking or concentrating (sometimes referred to as “brain fog”), cough, chest or stomach pain, headache, fast-beating or pounding heart (i,e,, heart palpitations), joint or muscle pain, diarrhea, sleep problems, fever, dizziness on standing (lightheadedness), rash, mood changes, change in smell or taste, changes in menstrual cycles, among others. In embodiments, the inflammatory disease or condition is symptoms associated with a vaccination, including but not limited to vaccination for SARS-CoV-2 or Flu. Many vaccinations produce undesirable side effects, ranging from mild to severe. For example, mild side effects from the influenza vaccine include soreness, redness or swelling at the injection site; low-grade fever; and aches. For children, some side effects from the flu nasal spray can include runny nose, wheezing, headache, vomiting, muscle aches and fever. For adults, side effects include runny nose, headache, sore throat and cough. Rare but serious side effects can also occur, including allergic reactions. Further, SARS-CoV-2 vaccination has been reported to produce symptoms such as: pain and / or swelling at the injection site, tiredness, headache, muscle pain, chills, nausea, and fever. The fear of having side effects due to vaccinations discourages some individuals from obtaining vaccinations. In embodiments, the inflammatory disease or condition are symptoms associated with veisalgia (e.g., symptoms associated with alcohol intake, “hangover”). Such symptoms include, for example, substantial physical and mental fatigue, nausea, loss of appetite, DB1 / 145295370.1 18 SJP-010PC 119887-5010 tremors of the hand and limbs (the “shakes”), joint weakness / pain, dehydration, irritability, lack of coordination, concentration difficulties, sleeplessness, impaired memory and visual- spatial skills, headache, drowsiness, dry mouth, dizziness, gastro-intestinal complaints, sweating, and anxiety. In embodiments, the pharmaceutical composition can be administered as an alternative to opioids, or together with opioids to allow for dose reduction or inhibition of symptoms associated with opioid tolerance, dependence, or withdrawal. Opioids are a class of drugs that include oxycodone (OxyContin®), hydrocodone (Vicodin®), codeine, and morphine. Prescription opioid pain relievers are generally safe when taken for a short time and as prescribed by a doctor. However, due to the euphoria induced by opioids, they are frequently misused. In fact, the misuse of and addiction to opioid drugs can be initiated after exposure to prescribed medications in a clinic or physician's office. As many as 90% of patients in chronic pain management settings receive opioid pain relievers, and the prevalence of drug abuse is high among these patients. Moreover, even as prescribed by a doctor, regular use of opioids can lead to dependence. For example, withdrawal from opioid use is difficult. An addicted, or depended, individual experiences adverse symptoms including anxiety, increased pain sensitivity, poor concentration, tachycardia and flu-like symptoms during withdrawal, a syndrome reflecting physical dependence on these drugs. Such adverse withdrawal symptoms are a major contributor to the addictive nature of opioids. Current strategies for treatment of opioid withdrawal are suboptimal; they rely on the administration of controlled substances (methadone and buprenorphine), or medications with significant hemodynamic side effects (clonidine). Further, tolerance is the need for progressively higher doses of an opioid in order to maintain the same therapeutic effect, e.g., same reduction in pain. Tolerance typically develops upon sustained opioid therapy. While opioid rotation is currently used to minimize tolerance, this approach requires close monitoring due to variable cross-tolerance and side effect profiles among different patients. In its most severe form, opioid tolerance can manifest as opioid-induced hyperalgesia; that is, the opioid no longer reduces pain but instead increases or induces pain. Opioid-induced hyperalgesia is extremely difficult to treat. DB1 / 145295370.1 19 SJP-010PC 119887-5010 Opioid dependence is characterized by physical or psychological withdrawal symptoms upon discontinuation of an opioid. Dependence may be independent of addiction. However, physical dependence, or the desire to avoid withdrawal symptoms, is thought to contribute to opioid addiction, particularly at later stages of addiction; whereas, a craving for the euphoric effects of opiates may dominate in earlier stages. The somatic withdrawal signs that can occur when opioid therapy is abruptly stopped in physically dependent individuals include agitation, irritability, muscular ailments, abdominal pain, diarrhea, burning sensations, “gooseflesh,” and itching. In an effort to minimize withdrawal symptoms, patients are required to be carefully tapered off of the opioid. However, such approach requires strict monitoring throughout an extended protocol. In embodiments, the inflammatory disease or condition is an autoimmune disease. In embodiments, the inflammatory disease or condition is arthritis, which is optionally rheumatoid arthritis, osteoarthritis, or enteropathic arthritis. Enteropathic arthritis is a spondyloarthritis which occurs in patients with gastrointestinal diseases, such as, inflammatory bowel diseases (IBDs) and other diseases, such as, for example, Whipple's disease, celiac disease, and disorders resulting from intestinal bypass surgery (e.g., jejunoileal bypass). Axial spondyloarthritis, for example, is characterized by long-term inflammation of the joints of the spine, sometimes also including the joints where the spine joins the pelvis. Peripheral spondyloarthritis is characterized by inflammation of the joints in the arms and legs, most often the lower legs. Attacks or flares of the joint inflammation are typical in both forms of spondyloarthritis. These flares usually have a rapid onset, typically setting in within 48 hours. The flares sometimes disappear within about six months, but inflammation can become chronic in some people. The symptoms of gastrointestinal diseases sometimes flare along with the symptoms of spondyloarthritis in enteropathic arthritis. In embodiments, the inflammatory condition or disease is an Inflammatory bowel disease, which involves chronic inflammation of the digestive tract. The most common forms of IBD are ulcerative colitis (UC) and Crohn's disease (CD). In certain embodiments, a unit dose of the disclosure comprises 50 mg indomethacin and 1 mg ketotifen, and the unit dose is administered 2 or 3 times per day. DB1 / 145295370.1 20 SJP-010PC 119887-5010 In some embodiments, the disclosure comprises administering the NSAID (e.g., indomethacin and / or naproxen) and ketotifen at least once daily. In further embodiments, NSAID and ketotifen are administered from about once daily to about three times daily. In certain embodiments, the NSAID and ketotifen are administered for at least one week. In yet further embodiments, the NSAID and ketotifen are administered for at least two weeks. In still further embodiments, NSAID and ketotifen are administered for at least about three weeks, or about one month. In embodiments, the pharmaceutical composition is administered in a regimen such that the pharmaceutical composition is administered at least daily. The daily dose of indomethacin is about 20 mg to about 300 mg, or about 40 mg to about 200 mg, or about 75 mg to about 150 mg. In embodiments, the daily dose of ketotifen is about 1 mg to about 10 mg, or about 1 mg to about 6 mg, or about 2 mg to about 5 mg, or about 3 mg to about 4 mg. In embodiments employing naproxen as the NSAID, the daily dose of naproxen is about 100 mg to about 1600 mg, or about 200 mg to about 1400 mg, or about 400 mg to about 1200 mg, or about 600 mg to about 1000 mg, or about 700 mg to about 900 mg.

Example 7. Optimizing coating process DB1 / 145295370.1 24 SJP-010PC 119887-5010 Design of Experiments (DOE) mathematical methodology was used for planning and conducting experiments as well as analyzing and interpreting data obtained from the experiments to optimize the critical process parameters for the coating process. DOE is a branch of applied statistics that is used for conducting scientific studies of a system or process in which input variables (Xs) are manipulated to investigate its effects on measured response variable (Y). Process parameters of a spray coating process that can be critical include: (1) Chamber Air Flow, (2) Chamber Temperature, (3) Solution Spray Rate, (4) Nozzle Pressure, and (5) Acceleration Pressure. A set of experiments was conducted with a placebo to understand the optimal operating design space for the Indomethacin ER / Ketotifen IR coating process. The operating space that resulted is graphically depicted in FIG. 12A and B (where the lower, right quadrant represents an optimal process). The process is described in this example. Data from the completed DOE experiments was analyzed with DESIGN-EXPERT. Using DESIGN-EXPERT, statistical models were created for both Assay and Content Uniformity (CU) results. The Assay is the amount of mass transferred onto the sugar sphere and CU is a measure of the variability of the mass transferred throughout the bulk material. Both models were considered significant, with the assay model having an F-value of 17.2 and the CU model having an F-value of 32.05. That is, these models’ prediction of outputs, based on inputs, is statistically significant. Both models were considered to be adequate to predict and search the design space with a signal to noise ratio of 10.383 for Assay and 14.184 for CU. The Assay model indicated that the nozzle pressure was the significant factor. FIG.6. Additionally, the Assay model indicated an interaction between spray rate and nozzle pressure factors. FIG.7. The Assay Surface Response graph based on spray rate and nozzle pressure is provided in FIG.8. The CU model indicated that spray rate and accelerator pressure are significant factors, having p-values less than 0.05. FIG. 9. The CU model had a very good fit as demonstrated in FIG.10, showing predicted verses actual results. The CU Surface Response graph based on spray rate and nozzle pressure is provided in FIG.11. The analysis concluded that both the Assay and Content Uniformity models are adequate to search quantitatively within the design space investigated. The significant parameter in the Assay model is the DB1 / 145295370.1 25 SJP-010PC 119887-5010 nozzle pressure, and the mid-point (15 psi) to 10 psi is the optimal operating range. FIG. 12A and B. The significant parameters in the CU model included the acceleration pressure and the mid-point (25 psi) to 20 psi is the optimal operating range. FIG.12A, B. Also, spray rate was significant and the lower spray rate will produce the lowest CU results. FIG.12A, B. In both models there was a spray rate interaction or potential interaction. These critical parameters are summarized in Table 3. Table 7.
