Abstract

The present disclosure is directed to a method for delivering a pharmaceutical composition to a patient in need thereof, comprising: administering to said patient a pharmaceutical composition in unit dose form comprising acetylsalicylic acid, or pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof, and omeprazole, or pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof.

Claims (69)

1. A method for delivering a pharmaceutical composition to a patient in need thereof, comprising:

administering to said patient a pharmaceutical composition in unit dose form comprising:

about 325 mg acetylsalicylic acid, or pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof, and

about 40 mg omeprazole, or pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof,

wherein said omeprazole, or pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof:

is an immediate release omeprazole, or pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof,

is released from said unit dose form at a pH of from about 0 or greater, and

achieves a mean % time at which intragastric pH remains at about 4.0 or greater for about a 24 hour period after reaching steady state of at least about 50%, and

wherein said unit dose form achieves a pharmacokinetic (pk) profile for omeprazole comprising C max under 1200 ng/mL.

2. The method according to claim 1 wherein said pharmaceutical composition in unit dose form has an acetylsalicylic acid t max ranging from about 3 hours to about 4.5 hours.

3. The method according to claim 1 wherein said pharmaceutical composition in unit dose form has an omeprazole t max ranging from about 20 minutes to about 1.5 hours.

4. The method according to claim 1 , wherein said unit dose form is administered for a period of at least about 7 days.

5. A method for delivering a pharmaceutical composition to a patient in need thereof, comprising:

administering to said patient a pharmaceutical composition in unit dose form comprising:

about 325 mg acetylsalicylic acid, or pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof, and

about 40 mg omeprazole, or pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof,

wherein said omeprazole, or pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof:

is an immediate release omeprazole, or pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof,

is released from said unit dose form at a pH of from about 0 or greater,

achieves a mean % time at which intragastric pH remains at about 4.0 or greater for about a 24 hour period after reaching steady state of at least about 50%, and

wherein said unit dose form achieves a pharmacokinetic (pk) profile for omeprazole comprising AUC 0-12 ranging from about 0.8 hr*μg/mL to about 2.5 hr*μg/m L.

6. The method according to claim 5 wherein said pharmaceutical composition in unit dose form has an acetylsalicylic acid t max ranging from about 3 hours to about 4.5 hours.

7. The method according to claim 5 , wherein said pharmaceutical composition in unit dose form has an omeprazole t max ranging from about 20 minutes to about 1.5 hours.

8. The method according to claim 5 , wherein said unit dose form is administered for a period of at least about 7 days.

9. The method according to claim 5 , wherein said patient in need thereof is being treated for cardiovascular disease, osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, ankylosing spondylitis, or a combination thereof.

10. A pharmaceutical composition in unit dose form comprising:

a core comprising about 325 mg acetylsalicylic acid, or pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof;

an enteric coating over said core that at least begins to dissolve when the pH of the surrounding medium is about 3.5 or greater; and

a second layer comprising about 40 mg immediate release omeprazole, or pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof, wherein said omeprazole, or pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof is released at a pH of from about 0 or greater;

wherein said unit dose form is administered and achieves a pharmacokinetic (pk) profile for omeprazole comprising a C max under 1200 ng/mL, and

wherein said pharmaceutical composition in unit dose form has an acetylsalicylic acid t max ranging from about 3 hours to about 4.5 hours.

11. The pharmaceutical composition in unit dose form according to claim 10 , wherein said pharmaceutical composition in unit dose form has an omeprazole, or pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof, t max ranging from about 20 minutes to about 1.5 hours.

12. A method for delivering a pharmaceutical composition to a patient in need thereof, comprising:

administering to said patient a pharmaceutical composition in unit dose form comprising:

about 81 mg acetylsalicylic acid, or pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof, and

about 40 mg omeprazole, or pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof,

wherein said omeprazole, or pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof:

is an immediate release omeprazole, or pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof,

is released from said unit dose form at a pH of from about 0 or greater, and

achieves a mean % time at which intragastric pH remains at about 4.0 or greater for about a 24 hour period after reaching steady state of at least about 50%, and

wherein said unit dose form achieves a pharmacokinetic (pk) profile for omeprazole comprising C max under 1200 ng/mL.

13. The method according to claim 12 wherein said pharmaceutical composition in unit dose form has an acetylsalicylic acid t max ranging from about 3 hours to about 4.5 hours.

14. The method according to claim 12 wherein said pharmaceutical composition in unit dose form has an acetylsalicylic acid t max ranging from about 3 hours to about 3.5 hours.

15. The method according to claim 12 wherein said pharmaceutical composition in unit dose form has an omeprazole t max ranging from about 20 minutes to about 1.5 hours.

16. The method according to claim 12 , wherein said unit dose form is administered for a period of at least about 7 days.

17. A method for delivering a pharmaceutical composition to a patient in need thereof, comprising:

administering to said patient a pharmaceutical composition in unit dose form comprising:

about 81 mg acetylsalicylic acid, or pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof, and

about 40 mg omeprazole, or pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof,

wherein said omeprazole, or pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof:

is an immediate release omeprazole, or pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof,

is released from said unit dose form at a pH of from about 0 or greater,

achieves a mean % time at which intragastric pH remains at about 4.0 or greater for about a 24 hour period after reaching steady state of at least about 50%, and

wherein said unit dose form achieves a pharmacokinetic (pk) profile for omeprazole comprising AUC 0-12 ranging from about 0.8 hr*μg/mL to about 2.5 hr*μg/m L.

18. The method according to claim 17 wherein said pharmaceutical composition in unit dose form has an acetylsalicylic acid t max ranging from about 3 hours to about 4.5 hours.

19. The method according to claim 17 wherein said pharmaceutical composition in unit dose form has an acetylsalicylic acid t max ranging from about 3 hours to about 3.5 hours.

a second layer comprising about 40 mg immediate release omeprazole, or pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof, wherein said omeprazole, or pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof is released at a pH of from about 0 or greater;

wherein said unit dose form is administered and achieves a pharmacokinetic (pk) profile for omeprazole comprising a C max under 1200 ng/mL, and
