Cross Reference to Related Applications [0001] This application claims priority to U.S. Provisional Application No, 62/025,878 filed July 17, 2014, the disclosure of which is incorporated herein by reference in their entirety.
Field of the Technology
[0002] The present disclosure relates to an oral immediate release, abuse deterrent dosage form. The dosage form contains polyethylene glycol (PEG) to reduce abuse by non-oral administration routes, e.g., intranasal and/or intravenous. The composition of PEG is designed to allow for immediate release of the active ingredient while deterring abuse and maintaining stability of the dosage form at elevated temperatures.
Background
Background
[0003] FDA-approved drugs are provided in many different forms based on the type of active substance, the indication treated and the preferred route of administration. These forms include enteral formulations (e.g., tablets, capsules or pills), parenteral formulations (e.g., injectable formulations such as intravenous, subcutaneous, intramuscular and intraarticular), liquid formulations (e.g., elixirs), lyophilized formulations and topical formulations. A majority of the FDA-approved drugs are currently available in enteral form, as either a tablet or capsule.
[0004] Several formulations have been investigated for deterring abuse, either by oral ingestion of the drug with alcohol, or by non-oral administration routes such as intranasal and/or intravenous administration. For example, U.S. 2014/0010873 (assigned to Egalet Ltd.) is directed to an abuse-deterrent pharmaceutical composition including at least one polyethylene oxide and at least one plasticizer. The polyethylene oxide has an average molecular weight of at least 1,000,000 Daltons, and the pharmaceutical composition includes at least
5 percent w/w of the at least one plasticizer. The pharmaceutical composition is designed to prevent immediate release of the at least one active drug substance after physical tampering.
U.S. 2009/0123386 (assigned to MW Eneap Limited) is directed to an abuse deterrent capsule including at least one modifier selected to prevent abuse. The modifier may have a high melting point or be insoluble in aqueous solvents or ethanol. For example, the high melting point excipient May be Poloxamer 188 or PEG 8000. U.S. 2010/0204259 (assigned to Egalet A/S) is directed to immediate release pharmaceutical compositions that are resistant to abuse by intake of alcohol.
The release of the drug substance from the immediate release composition is decreased when the composition is exposed to a dissolution medium that includes ethanol. The compositions may be formulated to include at least one polyglycol and at least one effervescent agent.
Summary [0005] The present disclosure relates to an immediate release, abuse deterrent capsule including an active substance susceptible to abuse, a first polyethylene glycol (PEG) having an average molecular weight between about 30,000 Daitons and about 40,000 .Daltons; and a second PEG having an average molecular weight between about 3000 Da'tons and about 4000 Dalions.
The ratio of the first PEG to the second PEG is less than about 1:4 w/w,

Brief Description of the Drawings [00121 The foregoing and other advantages provided by the present disclosure will be more fully understood from the following description of exemplary embodiments when read together with the accompanying drawings, in which:
[00131 Figure 1 shows cross sections of a capsule tilling machine including the body segment, the cap disc, the hopper, the pumping box, the substation roller, and capsule bodies, [0014] Figure 2A shows solutions of grey dye before -filtering. Figure 211 shows solutions of grey dye after filtering, [0015] Figure 3 shows a summary of an exemplary manufacturing process for formulations of the present disclosure.
[0016] Figure 4 shows unfiltered solutions of the dosage forms in 190 proof ethanol after shaking at 250 rpm for 3 hours.
[0017] Figure 5 shows syringe-filtered solutions of the dosage forms in 190 proof ethanol.
after shaking at 250 rpm for 3 hours, Detailed Description [0018] Abuse of prescription drugs, particularly opioids, is a serious and growing public health concern. To address this concern, new formulations are being developed that contain abuse-deterrent properties. Abuse deterrent properties include properties that make product manipulation more difficult or make abuse of the manipulated product less attractive or rewarding, [0019] Recently the FDA issued a draft guidance for industry related to formulations having abuse deterrent properties. Guidance for Industry: Abuse-Deterrent Opioids ¨
Evaluation and Labeling, U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, FDA, CDER., January 2013, the entire contents of which are incorporated herein by reference. These guidelines separate abuse deterrent formulations into six categories, including: physical/chemical barriers, agonistlantag,onist combinations, aversion, delivery system, prodrug, or a combination of the aforementioned. As described by the FDA guidance, the categories are:
[0020] Physical/Chemical barriers ¨ Physical barriers can prevent chewing, pulverizing, cutting, grating, or grinding. Chemical harriers can resist extraction of the opioid using common solvents like water, alcohol, or other organic solvents. Physical and chemical barriers can change the physical form of an oral drug rendering it less amenable to abuse, [0021] Agonist/Antagonist combinations --- An opioid antagonist can be added to interfere with, reduce, or defeat the euphoria associated with abuse. The antagonist can be sequestered and released only upon manipulation of the product. For example, a drug product may be formulated such that the substance that acts as an antagonist is not clinically active when the product is swallowed but becomes active if the product is crushed and injected or snorted.
[0022] Aversion Substances can be combined to produce an unpleasant effect if the dosage form is manipulated prior to ingestion or a higher dosage than directed is used, [0023] Delivery System (including depot injectable formulations and implants) ¨ Certain drug release designs or the method of drug delivery can offer resistance to abuse. For example, a sustained-release depot injectable fOrmulation that is administered intramuscularly or a subcutaneous implant can be more difficult to manipulate.
[0024] Prodrug A prodrug that lacks opioid activity until transformed in the gastrointestinal tract can be unattractive for intravenous injection or intrana.sal routes of abuse.
[0025] Combination ¨ `Iwo or more of the above methods can be combined to deter abuse.
[0026] An opioid analgesic submitted for abuse deterrent formulation (Al) F) labeling must show conformance to one or more of these categories. The present disclosure relates to an abuse deterrent dosage form for oral administration, which provides immediate release of an active pharmaceutical substance and conforms to one or more of these categories. In one embodiment, the abuse deterrent dosage form of the present disclosure conforms to at least one of the six FDA
categories. In another embodiment, the abuse deterrent dosage form of the present disclosure conforms to at least two of the six FDA categories. in another embodiment, the abuse deterrent dosage form of the present disclosurei.-,onforms to at least three of the six FDA categories. In.
another embodiment, the abuse deterrent dosage form of the present disclosure conforms to at least four of the six FDA categories. In another embodiment, the abuse deterrent dosage form of the present disclosure conforms to at least five of the six FDA categories.
[00271 For example, an. abuse deterrent dosage fbrm of the present disclosure can reduce abuse by the incorporation of at least one physical barrier. The physical barrier is designed to prevent abuse based on chewing, pulverizing, cutting, grating or grinding.
Preferably, the physical barrier prevents or reduces the effectiveness of these methods. As used herein, the phrase "abuse deterrent" means that the active substance cannot readily be separated from the formulation in a form suitable for abuse by such means as, for example, grinding. The abuse deterrent fOrm of the present disclosure cannot be easily ground, extracted from, or both. Abuse deterrent measures render it difficult to transform the dosage form into a residue or extract for non-oral administration, such as intranasal or intravenous.
[00281 in one embodiment, the present disclosure relates to an oral, immediate release, abuse deterrent dosage form including an active substance susceptible to abuse, a first PEG having an average molecular weight between about 30,000 .Daltons and about 40,000 Daltons, and a second PEG having an average molecular weight between about 3000 Daltons and about 4000 Daltons.
The ratio of the first PEG to the second PEG can be less than about 1:4 w/w.
The wt% of active substance in the formulation may also vary depending on the active substance of the dosage form. In some embodiments, the dosage form includes at least about 0.1 wt%, 0,2 wt%, 0,3 wt%, 0,4 wt%, 0,5 wt%, 0.6 wt%, 0,7 wt%, 0,8 wt%, 0.9 wt%, 1,0 wt%, 1,1 wt%, 1.2 wt%, 1.3 wt%, 1.4 wt%, 1.5 wt %, 2 wt%, 2.5 wt%, 3 wt%, 4 wt%, 5 wt%, 6 wt%, 7 wt%, 7,5 wt%, 8 wt%, 9 wt%, 10 -,,vt%, 11 wt%, 12 wt%, 13 wt%, 14 wt%, 15 wt%, 16 wt%, 17 wt%, 18 wt%, 19 wt%, 20 wt%, 21 wt%, 22 wt%, 23 wt%, 24 wt%, 25 wt%, 26 wt%, 27 wt%, 28 wt%, 29 wt%, 30 wt%, 31 wt%, 32 wt%, 33 wt%, 34 wt%, 35 wt%, 36 wt%, 37 wt%, 38 wt%, 39 wt%, 40 wt%, 41 wt%, 47 wt%, 43 wt%, 44 wt%, 45 wt%, 46 wt%, 47 wt%, 48 wt%, 49 wt%, 50 wt%, 51 wt%, 52 wt%, 51 wt%, 54 wt%, 55 wt%, 56 wt%, 57 wt%, 58 wt%, 59 wt%, 60 wt%, 65 wt%, 69 wt%, 70 wt%, 75 wt%, 80 wt%, 85 wt%, 88 wt%, 90 wt%, or 95 wt% of the active substance. Any of these values may be used to define a range for the wt% of the active substance depending on the application. For example, the amount of active substance in the dosage form may range from about 0.10 wt% to about 60 wt%, Particularly, the amount of active substance in the dosage form may range from about 0,1 wt% to about 1.5 wt%, from about wt% to about 30 wt%, from about 15 wt% to about 20 wt%, from about 15 wt% to about 30 wt%, from about 40 wt% to about 60 wt%, from about 40 wt% to about 50 wt%, or from about 42 wt% to about 46 wt%.
[0029] For example, the dosage form may be a 100 mg capsule including about 5 mg, about mg, about 15 mg, about 20 mg, or about 30 mg of active substance (e.g,, oxycodone HO). In other embodiments, the dosage form may be a 150 mg capsule including about 5 mg, about 10 mg, about 15 mg, about 20 mg, about 30 mg, or about 45 mg of active substance (e.g., oxycodone In other embodiments, the dosage form may be a 200 mg capsule including about 5 mg, about 10 mg, about 15 mg, about 20 mg, about 30 mg, about 40 mg, about 50 mg, or about 60 mg of active substance (e.g., oxycodone 1-ICI). In other embodiments, the dosage form may be a 700 mg capsule including about 2.5 mg, about 5 mg, about 7.5 mg, about 10 mg, about mg, about 20 mg, about 30 mg, about 45 mg, about 50 mg, about 60 mg, about 70 mg, about 80 mg, about 90 mg or about 100 mg of an active substance (e.g., hydrocodone bitartrate).
[0030] As used herein, the term "active" or "active substance" or "active substance susceptible to abuse" or "API" means any opioid or opioid related compound subject to potential abuse. The active. substance may include, without limitation, alfentanik allylprodinc, alphaprodine, anileridine, berrzylmorphine, bezitramide, buprenorphine, butorphanol, clonitazene, codeine, cyelazocine, desomorphine, dextromoramide, dezocine, diampromide, dihydroeodeine, dihydromorphine, dimenoxadol, dimepheptanol, dimethylthiarnbutene, dioxaphetyl butyrate, dipipanone, eptazocine, ethoheptazine, ethylmethylthiambutene, ethylmorphine, etonitazene, fentanyi, heroin, hydrocodone, hydromorphone, hydroxypethidine, isomethadone, ketobemi done, levallorphan, le.vophenacylmorphan, levorphanol, lofentanil, meperidine, meptazinol, metazoeine, methadone, metopon, morphine, myrophine, nalbulphine, narceine, nicomorphine, norpipanone, opium, oxycodone, papvretum, pentazocine, phenadoxone, phenazocine, phenomorphan, phenoperidine, piminodine, propiram, propoxyphene, sufentanil, ti lidine, tapentadol, and tramadol, and pharmaceutically acceptable salts and mixtures thereof. For example, in some embodiments the active can be oxycodone HC1 or hydrocodone bitartrate. In the dosage forms of the present disclosure, the active substance is not oxymorphone, [0031] In particular, the active substance can be hydrocodone bitartrate or oxycodone The dosage form of the present disclosure can be rendered abuse deterrent by incorporating PEG
in the dosage form, The PEG can deter abuse by preventing at least 50%, oral least 75%, of the capsule weight from being ground to a particle size below 500 tun, such as after 30 seconds of milling at 10,000 RPM. PEG can also prevent extraction of the active substance from the dosage form using an alcohol. Abusers can use the partial solubility characteristics of dosage form excipients to extract the active substance using alcohol and subsequently burn off the alcohol to form a purer residue containing the active substance. The inclusion of PEG in the formulation can prevent or reduce extraction because PEG can melt and form a wax before the alcohol can be completely evaporated or flashed off, an abuser may not be able to obtain a residue containing the active substance. Addition of a dye to the dosage form can also result in a colored solution after extraction of the active substance, deterring intravenous injection. By selecting the appropriate average molecular weight and quantity of PEG present within a dosage form, the characteristics of the dosage form can be manipulated in a way to create a wide array of abuse deterrent capsules having immediate release profiles.
[0032] Inclusion of PEG in the dosage form can result in the inability of the dosage form, e.g., capsule, to be abused by pulverizing and snorting, pulverizing and injecting, or combinations thereof. For example, the abuse deterrent dosage form of the present disclosure may be incapable of being significantly pulverized by physical or mechanical force due at least in part to the waxy characteristics of the PEG.
[0033] One of the most common means of abuse of an orally administered opioid analgesic involves the manipulation of the oral dosage form in order to cause rapid delivery to the bloodstream via nasal insufflation. In order for insufflation to be used as an effective means of abuse, the original dosage form must be manipulated so as to decrease the particle size of the ingested drug to about 500 un or less. A particle size of about 500 qn or less is necessary for effective intranasal absorption to occur. By limiting the quantity of particles under about 500 um that an abuser can obtain by reasonable methods, one can render insufflation ineffective as a means of abuse. Thus one way to prevent abuse by nasal insufflation is by capturing the active substance susceptible to abuse in a matrix which is resistant to being physically broken down to produce particles smaller than about 500 um.
[0034] The dosage form of the present disclosure can inhibit manipulation by grinding or pulverizing using common equipment, such as a coffee grinder. For example, the formulation can deter abuse by limiting the particle size to which the formulation may be ground. The formulation prevents the dosage form, or at least substantial portions of the dosage from, from being ground in particles having a particle size of about 500 tlin or less that may pass through the mucus membranes of the nasal cavity. The dosage form can also significantly limit the extraction of the active substance by common solvents (e.g., cold water or distilled aqueous ethanol) from the formulation. For example, the formulation deters abuse by limiting the ability of persons to extract the active substance from the formulation (either intentionally or unintentionally), such that the active substance cannot easily be concentrated for parenteral administration, The abuse deterrent dosage form may also include, but does not require, the incorporation of other deterrents such as antagonists or irritants.
[0035] For example, in one embodiment, the abuse deterrent can work as follows. if the dosage form is extracted with alcohol or an aqueous solution, the PEG and/or dye will also be extracted and cannot easily be separated from the active substance, preventing the preparation of pure drug for intravenous administration. Extraction with a solution would result in a grey/black liquid containing the PEG, dye and active sUbstance. The inclusion of PEG in the formulation can prevent or reduce extraction because PEG can melt and form a wax before the alcohol can be completely evaporated or flashed off, an abuser may not be able to obtain a residue containing the active substance. These properties can allow for an oral drug delivery system that satisfies at least one of the categories in the FDA guidance (e.g, "physical and chemical barriers can change the physical form of an oral drug rendering it less amenable to abuse").
[0036] The PEG can be capable of allowing immediate release of the active substance, providing abuse deterrence, and/or ensuring the formation of a solid dosage Ruin that is stable at elevated temperatures, for example 40 'V, In some embodiments, the PEG
provides all three.
The dosage form of the present disclosure can accomplish the above capabilities by using a mixture of PEG- molecules of at least two different average molecular weights.
For example, the dosage form may include a first PEG having an average molecular weight between about 30,000 Daltons and 40,000 Daltons, and a second PEG having an average molecular weight about 3000 Daltons and 4000 Daltons.
[003.7] In some embodiments, the first PEG has an average molecular weight of about 20, 000, 21,000, 22,000, 23,000, 24,000, 25,000, 26,000, 27,000, 28,000, 29,000, 30,000, 30,500, 31,000, 31,500, 32,000, 32,500, 33,000, 33,500, 34,000, 34,500, 35,000, 35,500, 36,000, 36,500, 37,000, 37,500, 38,000, 38,500, 39,000, 39,500 or 40,000 Daltons, Any of these values may be used to define a range for the average molecular weight of the first PEG. For example, the first PEG can have an average molecular weight between about 31,000 Daltons and about 39,000 Daltons, between about 32,000 Daltons and about 38,000 Dahons, between about 33,000 Daltons and about 37,000 Daltons, between about 34,000 Daltons and about 36,000 Daltons, between about 30,000 Daltons and about 32,000 Daltons, between about 32,000 Daltons and about 34,000 Daltons, between about 36,000 Daltons and about 38,000 Daltons, or between about 38,000 Daltons and about 40,000 Daltons, [0038] in some embodiments, the second PEG can have an average molecular weight of 3000, 3050, 3100, 3150, 3200, 3250, 3300, 3350, 3400, 3450, 3500, 3550, 3600, 3650, 3700, 3750, 3800, 3850, 3900, 3950 or 4000 Daltons, Any of these values may be used to defihe a range for the average molecular weight of the second PEG. For example, the second PEG- can have an average molecular weight between about 3100 Daltons and about 3900 Dal-tons, between about 3200 Daltons and about 3800 .Daltons, between about 3300 Daltons and about 3700 Daltons, between about 3400 Daltons and about 3600 Daltons, between about 3000 Daltons and 3200 Daltons, between about 3200 Dahons and about 3400 Daltons, between about 3600 Daltons and about 3800 Daltons, or between about 3800 Daltons and about 4000 Daltons.
[0039] In some embodiments, the ratio of the first PEG to the second PEG
can be about 3:1, 2:1, 1:1, 1:2, 1:3. 1:4, 1:5, 1:6, 1:7, 1:8, 1:9, 1:10, 1:11, 1:12, 1:13, 1:14, 1:15, 1:16, 1:17, 1:18, 1:19 or 1:20. Any of these values may be used to define a range for the ratio of the first PEG to the second PEG. For example, in some embodiments, the ratio of the first PEG

For example, a ratio of 1:10 is less than a ratio of [0040] The total wt% of PEG in the dosage form may vary depending on the active substance, stability, and release profile. in some embodiments, the first PEG
and the second PEG together are at least about 5 wt%, 10 wt%, 15 wt%, 20 wt%, 25 wt%, 30 wt%, 35 wt%, 36 wt%, 37 wt%, 38 wt%, 39 wt%, 40 wt%, 41 wt%, 42 wt%, 43 wt%, 44 wt%, 45 wt%, 46 wt%, 47 wt%, 48 wt%, 49 wt%, 50 wt%, 51 wt%, 52 wt%, 53 wt%, 54 wt%, 55 wt%, 56 wt%, 57 wt%, 58 wt%, 59 wt%, 60 wt%, 61 wt%, 62 wt%, 63 wt%, 64 wt%, 65 wt%, 66 wt%, 67 wt%, 68 wt%, 69 wt%, 69.7 wt%, 70 wt%, 71 wt%, 72 wt%, 73 wt%, 74 wt%, 75 wt%, 76 wt%, 77 wt%, 78 wt%, 79 wt%, 80 wt%, 85 wt%, 88 wt%, 90 wt%, or 95 wt% of the dosage form.
[0041] in one embodiment, the formulation includes a disintegrant. A
disintegrant promotes disintegration of the capsule, and dissolution of the active substance, after administration and upon contact 'with water. The disintegrant may be selected from sodium starch glyeolate, cross-linked polyvinylpyrrolidone (e.g. erospovidone), cross-linked sodium carboxymethyleelkdose (e.g. croscarmel lose sodium) sodium bicarbonate/citric acid, alginic acid or combinations thereof. In particular embodiments, the disintegrant is selected from sodium starch glycolate, crospovid.one and crosearmellose. The dosage form may contain about 1 wt%, 2 wt%, 3 wt%, 4 wt%, 5 wt%, 6 wt%, 7 wt%, 8 wt%, 9 wt%, 10 wt%, 11 wt%, 12 wt%, 13 wt%, 14 wt%, 15 wt%, 16 wt%, 17 wt%, 18 wt%, 19 wt% or 20 wt% of disintegrant. Any of these values may be used to define a range for the wt% of disintegrant. For example, the dosage form may contain between about 1.0 wt% and about 20 wtVo of disintegrant. Particularly, the formulation may contain between about 1.0 wt% and about 10 wt% disintegrant or between about 5 wt% and about 8 wt% disintegrant. In certain embodiments, the dosage form includes 5 wt% sodium starch glycolate, 8 wt% sodium starch glycolate, 5 wt% crospovidone, or 5 wt%
croscarmellose sodium. In another embodiment, the dosage form of the present disclosure excludes a.
disintegrant, [0042] In some embodiments, the formulation includes a dye. A dye can be useful in deterring abuse by discouraging the abuser from intravenous injection. For example, extraction of the dye along with the active ingredient would result in a colored solution that would discourage the abuser from intravenous injection. Thus, in certain embodiments, the dye reduces abuse by extracting and injecting. The dye may be selected from known dyes suitable for use in pharmaceutical formulations or approved by the FDA for such use. For example, the dye may be FD&C Blue No. 2 or a 50/50 wt% solution of FD&C Blue No. 2 in PEG. In another embodiment, the dye may be a grey dye including FD&C Blue #1, FD&C Yellow #6, and .FD&C
Red #40. The dye may be in a 90% PEG 3350 blend. In certain embodiments, 14 mg of dye blend can be used in each capsule or about 1.4 mg of concentrated dye. In certain embodiments a grey dye is used since it is visually deterring and non-transparent. The dosage form may include about 0,10 wt%, 0.20 wt%, 0,10 wt%, 1140 wt%, 0.50 wt%, 1 wt%, 2 wt%, 3 wt%, 4 wt%, 5 wt%, 6 wt%, 7 wt%, 8 wt%, 9 wt%, 10 wt%, 11 wt%, 12 w-t%, 13 wt%, 14 w-t%, I S wt%, 16 wt%, 17 wt%, 18 wt%, 19 wt%, or 20 wt% dye. Any of these values may be used to define a.
range for the wt% of the dye. For example, the dosage form may contain between about 0.10 wt% and about 15 wt% dye. Particularly; the dosage form may contain between about 0.20 wt%
and about 1.5 wt% dye, about 0.50 vvt% and about 1,0 wt% dye , or about 7 to about 14 wt%
dye, in certain embodiments, the dosage form may include about 1 mg, 1.4 mgõ 2 mg, 3 mg, 4 mg, 5 mg, 6 mg, 7 mg, 8 mg, 9 Mg, 10 mg, 11 mg, 12 mg, 13 mg, 14 mg, 15 mg, 16 mg, 17 mg, 18 mg, 19 mg, 20 mg, 2.1 mg, 22 mg, 23 mg, 24 mg, 25 mg, 26 mg,, 27 Mg, 28 trig, 29 mg or 30 mg of dye. In another embodiment, the dosage form of the present disclosure excludes a dye, [00431 In some embodiments, the dosage form includes a first dye and a second dye, wherein the first dye has a high solubility in aqueous solution that is higher than the solubility of the second dye in aqueous solution. For example, in some embodiments the first dye has a solubility in aqueous solution of about 1 g, 5 g, 10 g, 30 g, 50 g, 100 g or 500 g in 1 L
of aqueous solution and the second dye has a solubility in aqueous solution of about 1 mg, 5 mg, 10 mg, 30 mg, 50 mg, 100 mg, 500 mg, I g, or 10 g in 1 L of aqueous solution. In some embodiments, the second dye has a high solubility in non-aqueous solution that is greater than the solubility of the first dye in non-aqueous solution. For example, in some embodiments, the first dye has a solubility in non-aqueous solution of about I mg, 5 mg, 10 mg, 30 mg, 50 mg, 100 mg, 500 mg, I g, or 10 g in I L of non--aqueous solution, and. the second dye has a solubility in non-aqueous solution of about 1 g, 5 g, 10 g, 30 g, 50 g, 100 g or 500 g in I I., of non-aqueous solution, in some embodiments, the color of the first dye is substantially the same as the color of the second dye.
in other embodiments, the color of the first dye is substantially different from the color of the second dye. For the purposes of the present disclosure, a dye is considered to be soluble in a solvent if about I g of the dye can be dissolved in about 10-30 riaL of the solvent. For example, a dye is considered to be water soluble if about I g of the dye can be dissolved in 10-30 mL of water,

after shaking at 250 rpm for 3 hours, Detailed Description [0018] Abuse of prescription drugs, particularly opioids, is a serious and growing public health concern. To address this concern, new formulations are being developed that contain abuse-deterrent properties. Abuse deterrent properties include properties that make product manipulation more difficult or make abuse of the manipulated product less attractive or rewarding, [0019] Recently the FDA issued a draft guidance for industry related to formulations having abuse deterrent properties. Guidance for Industry: Abuse-Deterrent Opioids ¨
Evaluation and Labeling, U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, FDA, CDER., January 2013, the entire contents of which are incorporated herein by reference. These guidelines separate abuse deterrent formulations into six categories, including: physical/chemical barriers, agonistlantag,onist combinations, aversion, delivery system, prodrug, or a combination of the aforementioned. As described by the FDA guidance, the categories are:
[0020] Physical/Chemical barriers ¨ Physical barriers can prevent chewing, pulverizing, cutting, grating, or grinding. Chemical harriers can resist extraction of the opioid using common solvents like water, alcohol, or other organic solvents. Physical and chemical barriers can change the physical form of an oral drug rendering it less amenable to abuse, [0021] Agonist/Antagonist combinations --- An opioid antagonist can be added to interfere with, reduce, or defeat the euphoria associated with abuse. The antagonist can be sequestered and released only upon manipulation of the product. For example, a drug product may be formulated such that the substance that acts as an antagonist is not clinically active when the product is swallowed but becomes active if the product is crushed and injected or snorted.
[0022] Aversion Substances can be combined to produce an unpleasant effect if the dosage form is manipulated prior to ingestion or a higher dosage than directed is used, [0023] Delivery System (including depot injectable formulations and implants) ¨ Certain drug release designs or the method of drug delivery can offer resistance to abuse. For example, a sustained-release depot injectable fOrmulation that is administered intramuscularly or a subcutaneous implant can be more difficult to manipulate.
[0024] Prodrug A prodrug that lacks opioid activity until transformed in the gastrointestinal tract can be unattractive for intravenous injection or intrana.sal routes of abuse.
[0025] Combination ¨ `Iwo or more of the above methods can be combined to deter abuse.
[0026] An opioid analgesic submitted for abuse deterrent formulation (Al) F) labeling must show conformance to one or more of these categories. The present disclosure relates to an abuse deterrent dosage form for oral administration, which provides immediate release of an active pharmaceutical substance and conforms to one or more of these categories. In one embodiment, the abuse deterrent dosage form of the present disclosure conforms to at least one of the six FDA
categories. In another embodiment, the abuse deterrent dosage form of the present disclosure conforms to at least two of the six FDA categories. in another embodiment, the abuse deterrent dosage form of the present disclosurei.-,onforms to at least three of the six FDA categories. In.
another embodiment, the abuse deterrent dosage form of the present disclosure conforms to at least four of the six FDA categories. In another embodiment, the abuse deterrent dosage form of the present disclosure conforms to at least five of the six FDA categories.
[00271 For example, an. abuse deterrent dosage fbrm of the present disclosure can reduce abuse by the incorporation of at least one physical barrier. The physical barrier is designed to prevent abuse based on chewing, pulverizing, cutting, grating or grinding.
Preferably, the physical barrier prevents or reduces the effectiveness of these methods. As used herein, the phrase "abuse deterrent" means that the active substance cannot readily be separated from the formulation in a form suitable for abuse by such means as, for example, grinding. The abuse deterrent fOrm of the present disclosure cannot be easily ground, extracted from, or both. Abuse deterrent measures render it difficult to transform the dosage form into a residue or extract for non-oral administration, such as intranasal or intravenous.
[00281 in one embodiment, the present disclosure relates to an oral, immediate release, abuse deterrent dosage form including an active substance susceptible to abuse, a first PEG having an average molecular weight between about 30,000 .Daltons and about 40,000 Daltons, and a second PEG having an average molecular weight between about 3000 Daltons and about 4000 Daltons.
The ratio of the first PEG to the second PEG can be less than about 1:4 w/w.
The wt% of active substance in the formulation may also vary depending on the active substance of the dosage form. In some embodiments, the dosage form includes at least about 0.1 wt%, 0,2 wt%, 0,3 wt%, 0,4 wt%, 0,5 wt%, 0.6 wt%, 0,7 wt%, 0,8 wt%, 0.9 wt%, 1,0 wt%, 1,1 wt%, 1.2 wt%, 1.3 wt%, 1.4 wt%, 1.5 wt %, 2 wt%, 2.5 wt%, 3 wt%, 4 wt%, 5 wt%, 6 wt%, 7 wt%, 7,5 wt%, 8 wt%, 9 wt%, 10 -,,vt%, 11 wt%, 12 wt%, 13 wt%, 14 wt%, 15 wt%, 16 wt%, 17 wt%, 18 wt%, 19 wt%, 20 wt%, 21 wt%, 22 wt%, 23 wt%, 24 wt%, 25 wt%, 26 wt%, 27 wt%, 28 wt%, 29 wt%, 30 wt%, 31 wt%, 32 wt%, 33 wt%, 34 wt%, 35 wt%, 36 wt%, 37 wt%, 38 wt%, 39 wt%, 40 wt%, 41 wt%, 47 wt%, 43 wt%, 44 wt%, 45 wt%, 46 wt%, 47 wt%, 48 wt%, 49 wt%, 50 wt%, 51 wt%, 52 wt%, 51 wt%, 54 wt%, 55 wt%, 56 wt%, 57 wt%, 58 wt%, 59 wt%, 60 wt%, 65 wt%, 69 wt%, 70 wt%, 75 wt%, 80 wt%, 85 wt%, 88 wt%, 90 wt%, or 95 wt% of the active substance. Any of these values may be used to define a range for the wt% of the active substance depending on the application. For example, the amount of active substance in the dosage form may range from about 0.10 wt% to about 60 wt%, Particularly, the amount of active substance in the dosage form may range from about 0,1 wt% to about 1.5 wt%, from about wt% to about 30 wt%, from about 15 wt% to about 20 wt%, from about 15 wt% to about 30 wt%, from about 40 wt% to about 60 wt%, from about 40 wt% to about 50 wt%, or from about 42 wt% to about 46 wt%.
[0029] For example, the dosage form may be a 100 mg capsule including about 5 mg, about mg, about 15 mg, about 20 mg, or about 30 mg of active substance (e.g,, oxycodone HO). In other embodiments, the dosage form may be a 150 mg capsule including about 5 mg, about 10 mg, about 15 mg, about 20 mg, about 30 mg, or about 45 mg of active substance (e.g., oxycodone In other embodiments, the dosage form may be a 200 mg capsule including about 5 mg, about 10 mg, about 15 mg, about 20 mg, about 30 mg, about 40 mg, about 50 mg, or about 60 mg of active substance (e.g., oxycodone 1-ICI). In other embodiments, the dosage form may be a 700 mg capsule including about 2.5 mg, about 5 mg, about 7.5 mg, about 10 mg, about mg, about 20 mg, about 30 mg, about 45 mg, about 50 mg, about 60 mg, about 70 mg, about 80 mg, about 90 mg or about 100 mg of an active substance (e.g., hydrocodone bitartrate).
[0030] As used herein, the term "active" or "active substance" or "active substance susceptible to abuse" or "API" means any opioid or opioid related compound subject to potential abuse. The active. substance may include, without limitation, alfentanik allylprodinc, alphaprodine, anileridine, berrzylmorphine, bezitramide, buprenorphine, butorphanol, clonitazene, codeine, cyelazocine, desomorphine, dextromoramide, dezocine, diampromide, dihydroeodeine, dihydromorphine, dimenoxadol, dimepheptanol, dimethylthiarnbutene, dioxaphetyl butyrate, dipipanone, eptazocine, ethoheptazine, ethylmethylthiambutene, ethylmorphine, etonitazene, fentanyi, heroin, hydrocodone, hydromorphone, hydroxypethidine, isomethadone, ketobemi done, levallorphan, le.vophenacylmorphan, levorphanol, lofentanil, meperidine, meptazinol, metazoeine, methadone, metopon, morphine, myrophine, nalbulphine, narceine, nicomorphine, norpipanone, opium, oxycodone, papvretum, pentazocine, phenadoxone, phenazocine, phenomorphan, phenoperidine, piminodine, propiram, propoxyphene, sufentanil, ti lidine, tapentadol, and tramadol, and pharmaceutically acceptable salts and mixtures thereof. For example, in some embodiments the active can be oxycodone HC1 or hydrocodone bitartrate. In the dosage forms of the present disclosure, the active substance is not oxymorphone, [0031] In particular, the active substance can be hydrocodone bitartrate or oxycodone The dosage form of the present disclosure can be rendered abuse deterrent by incorporating PEG
in the dosage form, The PEG can deter abuse by preventing at least 50%, oral least 75%, of the capsule weight from being ground to a particle size below 500 tun, such as after 30 seconds of milling at 10,000 RPM. PEG can also prevent extraction of the active substance from the dosage form using an alcohol. Abusers can use the partial solubility characteristics of dosage form excipients to extract the active substance using alcohol and subsequently burn off the alcohol to form a purer residue containing the active substance. The inclusion of PEG in the formulation can prevent or reduce extraction because PEG can melt and form a wax before the alcohol can be completely evaporated or flashed off, an abuser may not be able to obtain a residue containing the active substance. Addition of a dye to the dosage form can also result in a colored solution after extraction of the active substance, deterring intravenous injection. By selecting the appropriate average molecular weight and quantity of PEG present within a dosage form, the characteristics of the dosage form can be manipulated in a way to create a wide array of abuse deterrent capsules having immediate release profiles.
[0032] Inclusion of PEG in the dosage form can result in the inability of the dosage form, e.g., capsule, to be abused by pulverizing and snorting, pulverizing and injecting, or combinations thereof. For example, the abuse deterrent dosage form of the present disclosure may be incapable of being significantly pulverized by physical or mechanical force due at least in part to the waxy characteristics of the PEG.
[0033] One of the most common means of abuse of an orally administered opioid analgesic involves the manipulation of the oral dosage form in order to cause rapid delivery to the bloodstream via nasal insufflation. In order for insufflation to be used as an effective means of abuse, the original dosage form must be manipulated so as to decrease the particle size of the ingested drug to about 500 un or less. A particle size of about 500 qn or less is necessary for effective intranasal absorption to occur. By limiting the quantity of particles under about 500 um that an abuser can obtain by reasonable methods, one can render insufflation ineffective as a means of abuse. Thus one way to prevent abuse by nasal insufflation is by capturing the active substance susceptible to abuse in a matrix which is resistant to being physically broken down to produce particles smaller than about 500 um.
[0034] The dosage form of the present disclosure can inhibit manipulation by grinding or pulverizing using common equipment, such as a coffee grinder. For example, the formulation can deter abuse by limiting the particle size to which the formulation may be ground. The formulation prevents the dosage form, or at least substantial portions of the dosage from, from being ground in particles having a particle size of about 500 tlin or less that may pass through the mucus membranes of the nasal cavity. The dosage form can also significantly limit the extraction of the active substance by common solvents (e.g., cold water or distilled aqueous ethanol) from the formulation. For example, the formulation deters abuse by limiting the ability of persons to extract the active substance from the formulation (either intentionally or unintentionally), such that the active substance cannot easily be concentrated for parenteral administration, The abuse deterrent dosage form may also include, but does not require, the incorporation of other deterrents such as antagonists or irritants.
[0035] For example, in one embodiment, the abuse deterrent can work as follows. if the dosage form is extracted with alcohol or an aqueous solution, the PEG and/or dye will also be extracted and cannot easily be separated from the active substance, preventing the preparation of pure drug for intravenous administration. Extraction with a solution would result in a grey/black liquid containing the PEG, dye and active sUbstance. The inclusion of PEG in the formulation can prevent or reduce extraction because PEG can melt and form a wax before the alcohol can be completely evaporated or flashed off, an abuser may not be able to obtain a residue containing the active substance. These properties can allow for an oral drug delivery system that satisfies at least one of the categories in the FDA guidance (e.g, "physical and chemical barriers can change the physical form of an oral drug rendering it less amenable to abuse").
[0036] The PEG can be capable of allowing immediate release of the active substance, providing abuse deterrence, and/or ensuring the formation of a solid dosage Ruin that is stable at elevated temperatures, for example 40 'V, In some embodiments, the PEG
provides all three.
The dosage form of the present disclosure can accomplish the above capabilities by using a mixture of PEG- molecules of at least two different average molecular weights.
For example, the dosage form may include a first PEG having an average molecular weight between about 30,000 Daltons and 40,000 Daltons, and a second PEG having an average molecular weight about 3000 Daltons and 4000 Daltons.
[003.7] In some embodiments, the first PEG has an average molecular weight of about 20, 000, 21,000, 22,000, 23,000, 24,000, 25,000, 26,000, 27,000, 28,000, 29,000, 30,000, 30,500, 31,000, 31,500, 32,000, 32,500, 33,000, 33,500, 34,000, 34,500, 35,000, 35,500, 36,000, 36,500, 37,000, 37,500, 38,000, 38,500, 39,000, 39,500 or 40,000 Daltons, Any of these values may be used to define a range for the average molecular weight of the first PEG. For example, the first PEG can have an average molecular weight between about 31,000 Daltons and about 39,000 Daltons, between about 32,000 Daltons and about 38,000 Dahons, between about 33,000 Daltons and about 37,000 Daltons, between about 34,000 Daltons and about 36,000 Daltons, between about 30,000 Daltons and about 32,000 Daltons, between about 32,000 Daltons and about 34,000 Daltons, between about 36,000 Daltons and about 38,000 Daltons, or between about 38,000 Daltons and about 40,000 Daltons, [0038] in some embodiments, the second PEG can have an average molecular weight of 3000, 3050, 3100, 3150, 3200, 3250, 3300, 3350, 3400, 3450, 3500, 3550, 3600, 3650, 3700, 3750, 3800, 3850, 3900, 3950 or 4000 Daltons, Any of these values may be used to defihe a range for the average molecular weight of the second PEG. For example, the second PEG- can have an average molecular weight between about 3100 Daltons and about 3900 Dal-tons, between about 3200 Daltons and about 3800 .Daltons, between about 3300 Daltons and about 3700 Daltons, between about 3400 Daltons and about 3600 Daltons, between about 3000 Daltons and 3200 Daltons, between about 3200 Dahons and about 3400 Daltons, between about 3600 Daltons and about 3800 Daltons, or between about 3800 Daltons and about 4000 Daltons.
[0039] In some embodiments, the ratio of the first PEG to the second PEG
can be about 3:1, 2:1, 1:1, 1:2, 1:3. 1:4, 1:5, 1:6, 1:7, 1:8, 1:9, 1:10, 1:11, 1:12, 1:13, 1:14, 1:15, 1:16, 1:17, 1:18, 1:19 or 1:20. Any of these values may be used to define a range for the ratio of the first PEG to the second PEG. For example, in some embodiments, the ratio of the first PEG

[0041] in one embodiment, the formulation includes a disintegrant. A
disintegrant promotes disintegration of the capsule, and dissolution of the active substance, after administration and upon contact 'with water. The disintegrant may be selected from sodium starch glyeolate, cross-linked polyvinylpyrrolidone (e.g. erospovidone), cross-linked sodium carboxymethyleelkdose (e.g. croscarmel lose sodium) sodium bicarbonate/citric acid, alginic acid or combinations thereof. In particular embodiments, the disintegrant is selected from sodium starch glycolate, crospovid.one and crosearmellose. The dosage form may contain about 1 wt%, 2 wt%, 3 wt%, 4 wt%, 5 wt%, 6 wt%, 7 wt%, 8 wt%, 9 wt%, 10 wt%, 11 wt%, 12 wt%, 13 wt%, 14 wt%, 15 wt%, 16 wt%, 17 wt%, 18 wt%, 19 wt% or 20 wt% of disintegrant. Any of these values may be used to define a range for the wt% of disintegrant. For example, the dosage form may contain between about 1.0 wt% and about 20 wtVo of disintegrant. Particularly, the formulation may contain between about 1.0 wt% and about 10 wt% disintegrant or between about 5 wt% and about 8 wt% disintegrant. In certain embodiments, the dosage form includes 5 wt% sodium starch glycolate, 8 wt% sodium starch glycolate, 5 wt% crospovidone, or 5 wt%
croscarmellose sodium. In another embodiment, the dosage form of the present disclosure excludes a.
disintegrant, [0042] In some embodiments, the formulation includes a dye. A dye can be useful in deterring abuse by discouraging the abuser from intravenous injection. For example, extraction of the dye along with the active ingredient would result in a colored solution that would discourage the abuser from intravenous injection. Thus, in certain embodiments, the dye reduces abuse by extracting and injecting. The dye may be selected from known dyes suitable for use in pharmaceutical formulations or approved by the FDA for such use. For example, the dye may be FD&C Blue No. 2 or a 50/50 wt% solution of FD&C Blue No. 2 in PEG. In another embodiment, the dye may be a grey dye including FD&C Blue #1, FD&C Yellow #6, and .FD&C
Red #40. The dye may be in a 90% PEG 3350 blend. In certain embodiments, 14 mg of dye blend can be used in each capsule or about 1.4 mg of concentrated dye. In certain embodiments a grey dye is used since it is visually deterring and non-transparent. The dosage form may include about 0,10 wt%, 0.20 wt%, 0,10 wt%, 1140 wt%, 0.50 wt%, 1 wt%, 2 wt%, 3 wt%, 4 wt%, 5 wt%, 6 wt%, 7 wt%, 8 wt%, 9 wt%, 10 wt%, 11 wt%, 12 w-t%, 13 wt%, 14 w-t%, I S wt%, 16 wt%, 17 wt%, 18 wt%, 19 wt%, or 20 wt% dye. Any of these values may be used to define a.
range for the wt% of the dye. For example, the dosage form may contain between about 0.10 wt% and about 15 wt% dye. Particularly; the dosage form may contain between about 0.20 wt%
and about 1.5 wt% dye, about 0.50 vvt% and about 1,0 wt% dye , or about 7 to about 14 wt%
dye, in certain embodiments, the dosage form may include about 1 mg, 1.4 mgõ 2 mg, 3 mg, 4 mg, 5 mg, 6 mg, 7 mg, 8 mg, 9 Mg, 10 mg, 11 mg, 12 mg, 13 mg, 14 mg, 15 mg, 16 mg, 17 mg, 18 mg, 19 mg, 20 mg, 2.1 mg, 22 mg, 23 mg, 24 mg, 25 mg, 26 mg,, 27 Mg, 28 trig, 29 mg or 30 mg of dye. In another embodiment, the dosage form of the present disclosure excludes a dye, [00431 In some embodiments, the dosage form includes a first dye and a second dye, wherein the first dye has a high solubility in aqueous solution that is higher than the solubility of the second dye in aqueous solution. For example, in some embodiments the first dye has a solubility in aqueous solution of about 1 g, 5 g, 10 g, 30 g, 50 g, 100 g or 500 g in 1 L
of aqueous solution and the second dye has a solubility in aqueous solution of about 1 mg, 5 mg, 10 mg, 30 mg, 50 mg, 100 mg, 500 mg, I g, or 10 g in 1 L of aqueous solution. In some embodiments, the second dye has a high solubility in non-aqueous solution that is greater than the solubility of the first dye in non-aqueous solution. For example, in some embodiments, the first dye has a solubility in non-aqueous solution of about I mg, 5 mg, 10 mg, 30 mg, 50 mg, 100 mg, 500 mg, I g, or 10 g in I L of non--aqueous solution, and. the second dye has a solubility in non-aqueous solution of about 1 g, 5 g, 10 g, 30 g, 50 g, 100 g or 500 g in I I., of non-aqueous solution, in some embodiments, the color of the first dye is substantially the same as the color of the second dye.
in other embodiments, the color of the first dye is substantially different from the color of the second dye. For the purposes of the present disclosure, a dye is considered to be soluble in a solvent if about I g of the dye can be dissolved in about 10-30 riaL of the solvent. For example, a dye is considered to be water soluble if about I g of the dye can be dissolved in 10-30 mL of water,
12 [0044] In another embodiment, the dosage form includes a preservative or antioxidant. 'The preservative or antioxidant can reduce or limit the degradation or deterioration of the abuse deterrent dosage form. For example, the components of the oral drug delivery system (e.g., active substances, PEG) may undergo degradation (e.g., oxidative reduction, chain cleavage) due to oxidation. Preventing, degradation can help maintain the abuse deterrent properties of the .formulation. For instance, the molecular weight of PEG in the formulation affects the resistance to grinding, for example, with a coffee grinder. The addition of a preservative or antioxidant in the formulation that reduces or eliminates the degradation of the molecular weight of PEG may be useful in maintaining the abuse deterrence properties of the dosage form.
In addition to maintaining abuse deterrence, the addition of a preservative or antioxidant in the dosage form may be necessary to prevent premature degradation of the active substance over the shelf life of the dosage form.
[0045] The preservative or antioxidant may be selected from preservatives or antioxidants known. to one skilled in the art for use in pharmaceutical formulations, such as citric acid, ascorbic acid, ascorbyl pahnitate, butylated hydroxyanisole (BHA), 'butylated hydroxytoluene (BHT), erythorbic acid, hypophosphorous acid, lactobionic acid, monothioglycerol, potassium metabisulfite, propyl gal late, racemethionine, sodium hi sulfite, sodium formaldehyde sulfoxylate, sodium metabisulfite, sodium sulfite, sodium thiosulfate, stannous chloride, sulfur dioxide and tocopherols. The formulation, or dosage form, may contain between about 0.1 wt%
and about 2.0 wt%, or about 0.25 wt% and about 0,75 wt% of preservative or antioxidant. In another embodiment, the dosage form of the present disclosure excludes a preservative or antioxidant.
[00461 In some embodiments, the dosage form includes one or more excipients that form a gel in the presence of an alcohol. The alcohol gel.ting/thickening agent reduces or limits the potential for abuse by preventing extraction of the active substance from the dosage form. For example, when introduced to an alcohol solution, the components of the dosage form (e.g., active substances, PEG) may become trapped in a gel/viscous liquid which prevents extraction and subsequent alcohol evaporation to produce a pure active substance. In one embodiment, the alcohol gelling/thickening agent does not form a gel in the presence of water.
The dosage form can contain up to about 1%, ?%, 1%, 4%, 5%, 6%, 7%, 8%, 9%, 10%, 119/0, 12%,

[0052] The present disclosure also relates to an oral, immediate release, abuse deterrent dosage form including an active substance susceptible to abuse and PEG with a weighted average molecular weight between about 6200 Daltons and about 7800 Daltons. In one embodiment, dosage forms containing an average molecular weight of PEG in this particular range have several desirable characteristics including immediate release of the active substance, stability at high temperature conditions (e.g,, 40 'C with 75% relative humidity), relatively low viscosity at elevated temperatures (e.g., a viscosity less than or equal to 2000 cP at '75 "C), and/or a relatively high particle size after grinding (e.g., greater than or equal to 50% of the particles having a diameter greater than or equal to 500 urn after grinding, such as for 30 seconds at 10,000 RPM). Dosage forms including PEG with an average molecular weight between about 6200 Daltons and about 7800 Daltons may be prepared by combining two or more PEGs with different molecular weights. For example, any of the PEGs described herein (e.g.. PEG 3350 and PEG 35000) may be combined to prepare a dosage form including REG with an average molecular weight range between about 6200 Daltons and about 7800 Daitons.
[005311 in particular embodiments, the dosage form includes PEG, or two or more PEGs, with an average molecular weight of about 5000, 5015, 5100, 5200, 5300, 5400, 5500, 5600, 5700, 5800, 5900, 6000, 6100, 6200, 6300, 6400, 6500, 6515, 6600, 6700, 6800, 6900, 7000, 7100, 7200, 7300, 7400, 7500, 7600, 7700, 7800, 7900, 8000, 8100, 8200, 8300, 8400, 8500, 8600, 8700, 8800, 8900, 9000, 9100, 9200, 9300, 9400, 9500, 9600, 9700, 9800, 9900, 10,000, 10,100, 10,200, 10,300, 10,400, 10,500, 10,600, 10,700, 10,800, 10,900, 11,000, 11,100, 11,200, 11,300, 11,400, 1.1,500, 11,600, 11,675, or 11,700 Dahon.s. Any of these values may be used to define a range of average molecular weights for PEG, or PEGs, depending on the application. For example, in some embodiments, the dosage form includes PEG, or PEGs, with an average molecular weight between about 6200 Da'tons and about 6515 Daltons, between about 6515 Daltons and about 6800 Dalions, or between about 6200 Daltons and about 6800 Daltons.
[0054] in other embodiments, the present disclosure relates to an oral, immediate release, abuse deterrent dosage form including an active substance susceptible to abuse, a first PEG
having a melting point greater than or equal to about 60 "C, and a second PEG
having a melting point less than or equal to about 57 'C. The dosage form can be a solid at 40 C / 75% relative humidity, and at least 90% of the active ingredient can be released from the dosage form within 30 minutes following administration or via dissolution testing. The dosage form can be a solid at 40 "C / 75% relative humidity, and at least 75% of the active ingredient can be released from the dosage form within 45 minutes following administration or via dissolution testing.
[0055] The melting point of PEG can be positively correlated with molecular weight, i.e.
higher molecular weight PEGs have higher melting points. For example, PEGs with an average molecular weight up to 400 Daltons can be considered nonvolatile liquids at room temperature.
PEG 600, for example, has a melting range of about 17 to 22 "C, and may be liquid at room temperature but waxy at lower temperatures. PEGs with an average molecular weight of 800 to 2000 Daltons can be considered waxy materials at room temperature with a relatively low melting range. For example, PEG 1500 has a melting point of about 42-46 'C.
PEGs with an average molecular weight above 3000 can be considered solids For example, PEG
3350 has a melting point of about 53-57 C, and PEG 35,000 has a melting point of about 60-65 "C. By combining a PEG with a relatively low melting point (e.g., PEG 3350) with a PEG with a relatively high melting point (e.g., PEG 35,000) a dosage form with several desirable properties can be formed, including immediate release of an active substance, stability at high temperatures (e.g., 40" C with 75% relative humidity), relatively low viscosity at elevated temperatures (e.g., less than or equal to 2000 cP at 75 C), and/or a relatively high particle size after grinding (e.g., greater than or equal to 50% of the particles having a diameter greater than or equal to 500 pm) and/or the incorporation of a chemical barrier which makes it difficult to separate the active substance from the rest of the formulation, [0056] In some embodiments, the dosage form includes a first PEG having a melting temperature greater than or equal to about 52 "C, 53 "C, 54 "C, 55 "C, 56 "C, 57 "C, 58 C, 59 "C, 60 C, 61 "C, 62 C, 63 C, 64 "C, 65 "C, 66 C, 67 "C, 68 "C, 69 C, or 70 CC. Any of these values may be used to define a range of melting temperatures for the first PEG
depending on the application. For example, the dosage form may include a first PEG having a melting temperature from about 52 C to about 60 C, from about 55 C to about 60 C, from about 53 "C to about 57 "C, from about 53 'V to about 56 "C, from about 55 "C to about 58 C, from about 60 "C to about 65 "C, or from about 60 C to about 70 C.

Any of these values may be used to define a range of melting temperatures for the second PEG depending on the application. For example, the dosage form may include a second PEG having a melting temperature between about 17 "C and about 22 C, between about 42 'C and about 46 "C, between about 53 C and about 57 C, or between about 42 'V and about 57 "C.
[0058] In some embodiments, the dosage form includes a first PEG and a second PEG, wherein the first PEG and the second PEG combined have a melting temperature of about 42 "C, 43 "C, 44 C, 45 "C, 46 "C, 47 C, 48 "C, 49 "C, 50 C, 51 "C, 52 C, 53 C, 54 C, 55 "C, 56 C. 57 C, 58 C, 59 "C, 60 C, 61 "C, 62 'C, 63 "C, 64 "C, 65 "C, 66 C, 67 "C, 68 "C, 69 "C, 70 C. Any of these values may be used to define a range of melting temperatures for the combined first and second PEG depending on the application. For example, the first PEG and the second PEG combined may have a melting temperature between about 53 "C and about 65 C.

[0061] In sonic embodiments, the formulation of the present disclosure can have a viscosity at 100 C of about 40 cSt, 41 cSt, 42 cSt, 43 cSt, 44 cSt, 45 cSt, 46 eSt, 47 cSt, 48 cSt, 49 eSt, 50 cSt, 51 cSt, 52 cSt, 53 cSt, 54 cSt, 55 cSt, 56 cSt, 57 cSt, 58 cSt, 59 cSt, 60 cSt, 61 eSt, 62 cSt, 63 cSt, 64 cSt, 65 cSt, 66 cSt, 67 cSt, 68 cSt, 69 cSt, 70 cSt, 71 cSt, 72 cSt, 73 cSt, 74 cSt, 75 cSt, 76 cSt, 77cSt, 78 eSt, 80 eSt, 90 eSt, 100 eSt, 110 cSt, 120 cSt, 130 cSt, 140 cSt, 150 cSt, 158 cSt, 160 cSt, 170 cSt, 180 cSt, 190 cSt, 200 eSt, 250 cSt, 300 cStõ 350 cSt, 400 cSt, 450 cSt 500 eSt, 600 cSt, 700 cSt, 800 eSt, 900 cSt, 1000 cSt, 1100 cSt, 1200 cSt, 1300 cSt, 1400 cSt, 1500 cSt, 1600 cSt, 1700 cSt, 1800 cSt, 1900 cSt, or about 2000 cSt. Any of these values may be used to define a range of viscosities Pm the formulation of the present disclosure depending on the application. For example, the formulation of the present disclosure may have a viscosity between about 500 cSt and about 2000 eSt, or between about 800 cSt and about 1900 eSt. In some embodiments, the formulation or dosage form is a solid at room temperature and/or at 100 "C and has not measureable viscosity.
[0062] In another embodiment, the present disclosure relates to a process for the production of an oral, immediate release, abuse deterrent dosage forrn including preparing a homogenized suspension of at least one active substance susceptible to abuse, a first PEG, and a second PEG.
For example, the first PEG can have an average molecular weight between about 30,000 Daltons and about 40,000 Daltons, and the second PEG can have an average molecular weight between about 3000 Daltons and about 4000 Dalions. The ratio of the first PEG to the second PEG can be less than about 1:4 w/w, The process can further include dispensing or filling a homogenized suspension into a capsule to produce the dosage form. In some embodiments, the capsule can be formed by joining a capsule body with a capsule cap. The first PEG and the second PEG
together may be any wt% of the dosage form as described herein, for example at least about 60 wt% of the dosage form. In some embodiments of the processes described herein, the active substance is hydrocodone bitartrate, in other embodiments, the active substance is oxycodone HO. In certain embodiments, the abuse deterrent dosage forms of the present disclosure are capsules.
[0063] The abuse deterrent dosage forms of the present disclosure may be produced by liquid filled encapsulation. Liquid filled encapsulation is a process in which active pharmaceutical ingredients are suspended or emulsified in a carrier matrix and filled into capsules. The capsules are usually made of hard gelatin or hydroxypropyl methyleellulose. One of the advantages of this dosage form is that it requires fewer excipients and processing steps than other traditional compressed solid dosage forms. The internal solid phase API (e.g., oxycodon.e tiCi or hydrocodone bitartrate) can be suspended in a PEG external fluid phase. In one embodiment, PEGs with average molecular weights greater than about 1500 Daltons are ideal for liquid filled capsules because they are thermoplastics that melt at temperatures below the melting point of the hard gelatin capsule (<70 "C ) and are solids at room temperature. If the filling material is liquid at room temperature, a banding process can be used. This process adds a gelatin band around the point where the capsule body and cap join to create a unified capsule body to prevent leakage. In some embodiments, the formulation of the present disclosure can include a band.
[0064] In one embodiment, the liquid fill process can begin by dispensing excipients (e.g.õ
PEG and stabilizers/preservatives) and API according to theoretical percent weights of the final capsule fill weight. Following this step, the PEG powders or flakes and dyes are pre-melted before they are added to a homogenizing mixing kettle which can maintain the PEG above its melting point via jacketing on the kettle. When the PEG is completely fluid, the API and other non-melting stabilizers and/or preservatives can be mixed in to form a homogenized suspension.
This can occur with the aid of mechanical agitation by way of several internal stirring arms.
Once a homogenized suspension is attained (in some embodiments newer kettles can be equipped with NIR probes to indicate when this happens), the suspension can be pumped through jacketed hoses (to maintain the internal kettle temperature to prevent solidification in the hose) to a hopper on the capsule filling machine. An illustration of a capsule filling machine is provided in Figure 1.
[0065] The capsule filling hopper can also be jacketed to heat the suspension to prevent solidification. The capsule filling machine can contain a separate hopper which operators fill with hard gelatin capsules. The hopper can feed into a rectifying drum which can align all capsules in the same direction. Once aligned, the capsules can sit vertically in a cap disk which can allow for separation of the body and cap via vacuum, To fill the capsule, a positive displacement piston pump can be used to draw the product in from the jacketed hopper and dispense the suspension into the capsule body through a set of changeable nozzles. Fill weight adjustment can be achieved by varying the piston stroke of the pump. These changes can be made throughout the process due to frequent in-process capsule weight checks.
[0066] Once the capsule body is filled, the capsule body and cap can be joined via pusher pins which raise the capsule body upwards and into the capsule cap, which are held in place above the capsule body by a joining block. The pusher pins can then push the unified capsule out of the cap disk and discharge them from the machine, The capsules can then be allowed to cool at room temperature on trays and can be each weight checked via a capsule weigh checking machine, Following this, the capsules can then be placed into a final output drum, kutomatic capsule filling machines can have the ability to produce 500 to 150,000 capsules an hour with a very high degree of accuracy.
[0067] In some embodiments, the present disclosure relates to a dosage forrn as described herein prepared by filling a capsule body with a heated homogenized suspension including an active substance, a first PEG and a second PEG. In some embodiments, the homogenized suspension including an active substance, a first PEG, and a second PEG melts at a temperature of about 42 'C, 43 "C, 44 C, 45 "C, 46 CC, 47 C, 48 C, 49 C, 50 C, 51 CC, 52 C, 53 "C, 54 "C, 55 C, 56 C, 57 C, 58 C, 59 C, 60 C, 61 'C, 62 C, 63 C, 64 C, 65 C, 66 C, 67 C, 68 "C, 69 "C, 70 "C, 71 "C, 72 "C, 73 "C, 74 C, or 75 "C. Any of these values may be used to define a range of melting temperatures for the homogenized suspension. For example, in certain embodiments, the homogenized suspension has a melting temperature between about 53 "C and about 65 'C. In particular embodiments, the homogenized suspension including an active substance, a first PEG and a second PEG melts at temperatures below 77 C, he,, the melting point of the hard gelatin capsule. In another embodiment, the present disclosure relates to a method of treating pain including administering to an individual in need thereof a therapeutically effective amount of a dosage form as described herein. The dosage form can be used for the management of moderate to severe pain where the .use of an opioiµ.1 analgesic is appropriate. The dosage form can provide rapid onset of analgesia for the treatment of moderate to severe pain.
The dosage form, e.g., a hard gelatin capsule, can be administered orally every 4-6 hours as needed, ,[0068] The disclosures of all cited references including publications, patents, and patent applications are expressly incorporated herein by reference in their entirety.
Further, when an amount, concentration, or other value or parameter is given as either a range, preferred range, or a list of upper preferable values and lower preferable values, this is to be understood as specifically disclosing all ranges formed from any pair of any upper range limit or preferred value and any lower range limit or preferred value, regardless of whether ranges are separately disclosed. Where a range of numerical values is recited herein, unless otherwise stated, the range is intended to include the endpoints thereof, and all integers and fractions within the range. it is not intended that the scope of the invention be limited to the specific values recited when defining a range.
[00691 The present invention is further defined in the following Examples.
It should be understood that these Examples, while indicating preferred embodiments of the invention, are given by way of illustration only.
Examples Example 1 [00701 Initial testing and evaluation experiments for the immediate release ADF liquid filled capsule were based on suspending an API in PEG and filling it to weight into a hard gelatin capsule which then solidifies into a wax at room temperature. Some of these experiments used acetaminophen (APAP) as a tracer drug in place of C-I1 narcotics, Oxycodone HO
and APAP
are both soluble in reaerated water. The UST' monograph for pooled hydrocodone bitartrate and acetaminophen tablets specifies 80% (Q) +10% release of both drugs in 30 minutes in 0.1N HCI, indicating both are capable of immediate release. As a result, APAP was expected to be a viable alternative for experimentation, [0071] A formulation was prepared containing 30 mg APAP and a 50:50 ratio of PEG
3350:1500 g/mol and 0,50% FD&C dye in size 3 white opaque capsules. Three capsule fill weights were evaluated: 100 mg, 150 mg, and 200 mg. These formulations were tested for dissolution. The USP criteria for immediate release of oxycodone HC1 is 500 mL
purified water as media. Q-70% at 45 minutes, Specification --- 75% (Q-1-.5%), apparatus 2 (paddles), 50 rpm.
All capsule weights proved to release immediately, with the 150 mg and 200 mg formulations releasing completely at 20 minutes, 100 mg, capsule fill would be preferred to decrease material costs. Table I below list the dissociation data of size 3 capsules containing 30 mg APAP, 50:50 ratio of PEG 3350:1500 glmol, and 0,5% FD&C dye, Table 1.

[0072] These dosage forins contain water- and ethanol-soluble FD&C dyes, e.g., 0,5%
FD&C dye, to deter extraction of the API and intravenous injection of the solution. Further rendering of the drug solution would be required to separate the pure API from the PEG and FD&C dyes.
[00731 PEG 1450 (NE grade available from Dow Chemical Company) can be used in place of PEG 1500 in the oxycodone HO dosage forms. Additional exemplary oxyeodone HO dosage forms are shown in Table 2 below. 1% citric acid may be used in the dosage forms as an API
stabilizer.

[00511 In other embodiments, the dosage form of the present disclosure releases greater than or equal to about 90% of the active substance within 30 minutes after administration or via dissolution testing. Particularly, the dosage form releases greater than or equal to about 92%, about 94%, about 96%, or about 98% of the active substance within. 30 minutes after administration or via dissolution testing.
[0052] The present disclosure also relates to an oral, immediate release, abuse deterrent dosage form including an active substance susceptible to abuse and PEG with a weighted average molecular weight between about 6200 Daltons and about 7800 Daltons. In one embodiment, dosage forms containing an average molecular weight of PEG in this particular range have several desirable characteristics including immediate release of the active substance, stability at high temperature conditions (e.g,, 40 'C with 75% relative humidity), relatively low viscosity at elevated temperatures (e.g., a viscosity less than or equal to 2000 cP at '75 "C), and/or a relatively high particle size after grinding (e.g., greater than or equal to 50% of the particles having a diameter greater than or equal to 500 urn after grinding, such as for 30 seconds at 10,000 RPM). Dosage forms including PEG with an average molecular weight between about 6200 Daltons and about 7800 Daltons may be prepared by combining two or more PEGs with different molecular weights. For example, any of the PEGs described herein (e.g.. PEG 3350 and PEG 35000) may be combined to prepare a dosage form including REG with an average molecular weight range between about 6200 Daltons and about 7800 Daitons.
[005311 in particular embodiments, the dosage form includes PEG, or two or more PEGs, with an average molecular weight of about 5000, 5015, 5100, 5200, 5300, 5400, 5500, 5600, 5700, 5800, 5900, 6000, 6100, 6200, 6300, 6400, 6500, 6515, 6600, 6700, 6800, 6900, 7000, 7100, 7200, 7300, 7400, 7500, 7600, 7700, 7800, 7900, 8000, 8100, 8200, 8300, 8400, 8500, 8600, 8700, 8800, 8900, 9000, 9100, 9200, 9300, 9400, 9500, 9600, 9700, 9800, 9900, 10,000, 10,100, 10,200, 10,300, 10,400, 10,500, 10,600, 10,700, 10,800, 10,900, 11,000, 11,100, 11,200, 11,300, 11,400, 1.1,500, 11,600, 11,675, or 11,700 Dahon.s. Any of these values may be used to define a range of average molecular weights for PEG, or PEGs, depending on the application. For example, in some embodiments, the dosage form includes PEG, or PEGs, with an average molecular weight between about 6200 Da'tons and about 6515 Daltons, between about 6515 Daltons and about 6800 Dalions, or between about 6200 Daltons and about 6800 Daltons.
[0054] in other embodiments, the present disclosure relates to an oral, immediate release, abuse deterrent dosage form including an active substance susceptible to abuse, a first PEG
having a melting point greater than or equal to about 60 "C, and a second PEG
having a melting point less than or equal to about 57 'C. The dosage form can be a solid at 40 C / 75% relative humidity, and at least 90% of the active ingredient can be released from the dosage form within 30 minutes following administration or via dissolution testing. The dosage form can be a solid at 40 "C / 75% relative humidity, and at least 75% of the active ingredient can be released from the dosage form within 45 minutes following administration or via dissolution testing.
[0055] The melting point of PEG can be positively correlated with molecular weight, i.e.
higher molecular weight PEGs have higher melting points. For example, PEGs with an average molecular weight up to 400 Daltons can be considered nonvolatile liquids at room temperature.
PEG 600, for example, has a melting range of about 17 to 22 "C, and may be liquid at room temperature but waxy at lower temperatures. PEGs with an average molecular weight of 800 to 2000 Daltons can be considered waxy materials at room temperature with a relatively low melting range. For example, PEG 1500 has a melting point of about 42-46 'C.
PEGs with an average molecular weight above 3000 can be considered solids For example, PEG
3350 has a melting point of about 53-57 C, and PEG 35,000 has a melting point of about 60-65 "C. By combining a PEG with a relatively low melting point (e.g., PEG 3350) with a PEG with a relatively high melting point (e.g., PEG 35,000) a dosage form with several desirable properties can be formed, including immediate release of an active substance, stability at high temperatures (e.g., 40" C with 75% relative humidity), relatively low viscosity at elevated temperatures (e.g., less than or equal to 2000 cP at 75 C), and/or a relatively high particle size after grinding (e.g., greater than or equal to 50% of the particles having a diameter greater than or equal to 500 pm) and/or the incorporation of a chemical barrier which makes it difficult to separate the active substance from the rest of the formulation, [0056] In some embodiments, the dosage form includes a first PEG having a melting temperature greater than or equal to about 52 "C, 53 "C, 54 "C, 55 "C, 56 "C, 57 "C, 58 C, 59 "C, 60 C, 61 "C, 62 C, 63 C, 64 "C, 65 "C, 66 C, 67 "C, 68 "C, 69 C, or 70 CC. Any of these values may be used to define a range of melting temperatures for the first PEG
depending on the application. For example, the dosage form may include a first PEG having a melting temperature from about 52 C to about 60 C, from about 55 C to about 60 C, from about 53 "C to about 57 "C, from about 53 'V to about 56 "C, from about 55 "C to about 58 C, from about 60 "C to about 65 "C, or from about 60 C to about 70 C.
[0057] In some embodiments, the dosage form includes a second PEG having a melting temperature less than or equal to about 5 C, 10 "C, 15 C, 16 C, 17 "C, 18 "C, 19 "C, 20 "C, 21 'C, 22 C, 23 C, 24 'C, 25 C, 25 C, 27 C, 28 C, 29 C, 30 C, 31 C, 32 'V, 33 C, 34 C, 35 "C, 36 "C, 37 "C, 38 "C, 39 "C, 40 "C, 41 "C, 42 "C, 43 C, 44 "C, 45 "C, 46 `V, 47 "C, 48 C, 49 C, 50 C, 51 C, 52 CC, 53 "C, 54 C, 55 "C, 55 C, 56 C, or about 57 C. Any of these values may be used to define a range of melting temperatures for the second PEG depending on the application. For example, the dosage form may include a second PEG having a melting temperature between about 17 "C and about 22 C, between about 42 'C and about 46 "C, between about 53 C and about 57 C, or between about 42 'V and about 57 "C.
[0058] In some embodiments, the dosage form includes a first PEG and a second PEG, wherein the first PEG and the second PEG combined have a melting temperature of about 42 "C, 43 "C, 44 C, 45 "C, 46 "C, 47 C, 48 "C, 49 "C, 50 C, 51 "C, 52 C, 53 C, 54 C, 55 "C, 56 C. 57 C, 58 C, 59 "C, 60 C, 61 "C, 62 'C, 63 "C, 64 "C, 65 "C, 66 C, 67 "C, 68 "C, 69 "C, 70 C. Any of these values may be used to define a range of melting temperatures for the combined first and second PEG depending on the application. For example, the first PEG and the second PEG combined may have a melting temperature between about 53 "C and about 65 C.

The ratio of the first PEG to the second PEG can be less than about 1:4 w/w, The process can further include dispensing or filling a homogenized suspension into a capsule to produce the dosage form. In some embodiments, the capsule can be formed by joining a capsule body with a capsule cap. The first PEG and the second PEG
together may be any wt% of the dosage form as described herein, for example at least about 60 wt% of the dosage form. In some embodiments of the processes described herein, the active substance is hydrocodone bitartrate, in other embodiments, the active substance is oxycodone HO. In certain embodiments, the abuse deterrent dosage forms of the present disclosure are capsules.
[0063] The abuse deterrent dosage forms of the present disclosure may be produced by liquid filled encapsulation. Liquid filled encapsulation is a process in which active pharmaceutical ingredients are suspended or emulsified in a carrier matrix and filled into capsules. The capsules are usually made of hard gelatin or hydroxypropyl methyleellulose. One of the advantages of this dosage form is that it requires fewer excipients and processing steps than other traditional compressed solid dosage forms. The internal solid phase API (e.g., oxycodon.e tiCi or hydrocodone bitartrate) can be suspended in a PEG external fluid phase. In one embodiment, PEGs with average molecular weights greater than about 1500 Daltons are ideal for liquid filled capsules because they are thermoplastics that melt at temperatures below the melting point of the hard gelatin capsule (<70 "C ) and are solids at room temperature. If the filling material is liquid at room temperature, a banding process can be used. This process adds a gelatin band around the point where the capsule body and cap join to create a unified capsule body to prevent leakage. In some embodiments, the formulation of the present disclosure can include a band.
[0064] In one embodiment, the liquid fill process can begin by dispensing excipients (e.g.õ
PEG and stabilizers/preservatives) and API according to theoretical percent weights of the final capsule fill weight. Following this step, the PEG powders or flakes and dyes are pre-melted before they are added to a homogenizing mixing kettle which can maintain the PEG above its melting point via jacketing on the kettle. When the PEG is completely fluid, the API and other non-melting stabilizers and/or preservatives can be mixed in to form a homogenized suspension.
This can occur with the aid of mechanical agitation by way of several internal stirring arms.
Once a homogenized suspension is attained (in some embodiments newer kettles can be equipped with NIR probes to indicate when this happens), the suspension can be pumped through jacketed hoses (to maintain the internal kettle temperature to prevent solidification in the hose) to a hopper on the capsule filling machine. An illustration of a capsule filling machine is provided in Figure 1.
[0065] The capsule filling hopper can also be jacketed to heat the suspension to prevent solidification. The capsule filling machine can contain a separate hopper which operators fill with hard gelatin capsules. The hopper can feed into a rectifying drum which can align all capsules in the same direction. Once aligned, the capsules can sit vertically in a cap disk which can allow for separation of the body and cap via vacuum, To fill the capsule, a positive displacement piston pump can be used to draw the product in from the jacketed hopper and dispense the suspension into the capsule body through a set of changeable nozzles. Fill weight adjustment can be achieved by varying the piston stroke of the pump. These changes can be made throughout the process due to frequent in-process capsule weight checks.
[0066] Once the capsule body is filled, the capsule body and cap can be joined via pusher pins which raise the capsule body upwards and into the capsule cap, which are held in place above the capsule body by a joining block. The pusher pins can then push the unified capsule out of the cap disk and discharge them from the machine, The capsules can then be allowed to cool at room temperature on trays and can be each weight checked via a capsule weigh checking machine, Following this, the capsules can then be placed into a final output drum, kutomatic capsule filling machines can have the ability to produce 500 to 150,000 capsules an hour with a very high degree of accuracy.
[0067] In some embodiments, the present disclosure relates to a dosage forrn as described herein prepared by filling a capsule body with a heated homogenized suspension including an active substance, a first PEG and a second PEG. In some embodiments, the homogenized suspension including an active substance, a first PEG, and a second PEG melts at a temperature of about 42 'C, 43 "C, 44 C, 45 "C, 46 CC, 47 C, 48 C, 49 C, 50 C, 51 CC, 52 C, 53 "C, 54 "C, 55 C, 56 C, 57 C, 58 C, 59 C, 60 C, 61 'C, 62 C, 63 C, 64 C, 65 C, 66 C, 67 C, 68 "C, 69 "C, 70 "C, 71 "C, 72 "C, 73 "C, 74 C, or 75 "C. Any of these values may be used to define a range of melting temperatures for the homogenized suspension. For example, in certain embodiments, the homogenized suspension has a melting temperature between about 53 "C and about 65 'C. In particular embodiments, the homogenized suspension including an active substance, a first PEG and a second PEG melts at temperatures below 77 C, he,, the melting point of the hard gelatin capsule. In another embodiment, the present disclosure relates to a method of treating pain including administering to an individual in need thereof a therapeutically effective amount of a dosage form as described herein. The dosage form can be used for the management of moderate to severe pain where the .use of an opioiµ.1 analgesic is appropriate. The dosage form can provide rapid onset of analgesia for the treatment of moderate to severe pain.
The dosage form, e.g., a hard gelatin capsule, can be administered orally every 4-6 hours as needed, ,[0068] The disclosures of all cited references including publications, patents, and patent applications are expressly incorporated herein by reference in their entirety.
Further, when an amount, concentration, or other value or parameter is given as either a range, preferred range, or a list of upper preferable values and lower preferable values, this is to be understood as specifically disclosing all ranges formed from any pair of any upper range limit or preferred value and any lower range limit or preferred value, regardless of whether ranges are separately disclosed. Where a range of numerical values is recited herein, unless otherwise stated, the range is intended to include the endpoints thereof, and all integers and fractions within the range. it is not intended that the scope of the invention be limited to the specific values recited when defining a range.
[00691 The present invention is further defined in the following Examples.
It should be understood that these Examples, while indicating preferred embodiments of the invention, are given by way of illustration only.
Examples Example 1 [00701 Initial testing and evaluation experiments for the immediate release ADF liquid filled capsule were based on suspending an API in PEG and filling it to weight into a hard gelatin capsule which then solidifies into a wax at room temperature. Some of these experiments used acetaminophen (APAP) as a tracer drug in place of C-I1 narcotics, Oxycodone HO
and APAP
are both soluble in reaerated water. The UST' monograph for pooled hydrocodone bitartrate and acetaminophen tablets specifies 80% (Q) +10% release of both drugs in 30 minutes in 0.1N HCI, indicating both are capable of immediate release. As a result, APAP was expected to be a viable alternative for experimentation, [0071] A formulation was prepared containing 30 mg APAP and a 50:50 ratio of PEG
3350:1500 g/mol and 0,50% FD&C dye in size 3 white opaque capsules. Three capsule fill weights were evaluated: 100 mg, 150 mg, and 200 mg. These formulations were tested for dissolution. The USP criteria for immediate release of oxycodone HC1 is 500 mL
purified water as media. Q-70% at 45 minutes, Specification --- 75% (Q-1-.5%), apparatus 2 (paddles), 50 rpm.
All capsule weights proved to release immediately, with the 150 mg and 200 mg formulations releasing completely at 20 minutes, 100 mg, capsule fill would be preferred to decrease material costs. Table I below list the dissociation data of size 3 capsules containing 30 mg APAP, 50:50 ratio of PEG 3350:1500 glmol, and 0,5% FD&C dye, Table 1.

[0072] These dosage forins contain water- and ethanol-soluble FD&C dyes, e.g., 0,5%
FD&C dye, to deter extraction of the API and intravenous injection of the solution. Further rendering of the drug solution would be required to separate the pure API from the PEG and FD&C dyes.
[00731 PEG 1450 (NE grade available from Dow Chemical Company) can be used in place of PEG 1500 in the oxycodone HO dosage forms. Additional exemplary oxyeodone HO dosage forms are shown in Table 2 below. 1% citric acid may be used in the dosage forms as an API
stabilizer.

1450 and PEG 35000 were evaluated Acetaminophen (APAP) was used as a tracer drug for oxycodone TrICI. The formulations are shown in Table 3 below. 'The target amount of APAP
was 30 mg per capsule, and the target fill weight was 100 mg (batch number 92) or 200 mg (hatch numbers 93-94). The capsules contained 30% wlw (batch number 92) or 15%

[0075] Dissolution was tested using the following criteria: Q = not less than 70% dissolved at 45 minutes, and the specification Q+5% (75%) dissolved at 45 minutes. As shown in Table 3, the average dissolution tor the three formulations ranged from 87% to 98%.
Accordingly, all of the formulations met the specification of at least 75% dissolution at 45 minutes, [0076] As mentioned above, it is generally accepted that any particle greater than 500 pm in diameter cannot be sufficiently absorbed by the blood vessels in the nasal mucosa. Thus, in one embodiment, a formulation is considered to deter intranasal abuse if ?. 75% of the particles are 500 um in diameter after grinding. As shown in Table 3, the percentage of particles? 500 um in diameter after grinding ranged from 90% to 92%.

[0078] The dissolution, particle size after grinding, and color extraction of two additional formulations of oxycodone 1-IC1 (batch numbers 11 and 12) containing varying percentages of PEG 35000 and PEG 1450 were determined as described above. The formulations also contained 1% citric acid and 14% Grey Dye. Both formulations used a size 3 opaque hard gelatin capsule with a targettill weight of 100 mg. APAP was used as a tracer drug for oxycodone EIC1. The target amount of APAP was 5 mg (5% NA/w) for batch number 11 and 30 mg (30% wiw) for hatch number 12. For dissolution, Q = Not less than 70%
dissolved at 45 minutes, and the specification = Q+5% (75%) dissolved at 45 minutes. As a reference, an acceptable particle size after grinding is 75% particles > 500 pm in diameter.

[0080] In one embodiment, hot melt fill capsules are sufficiently viscous at elevated temperatures to allow for flow of the fill into the capsules. Accordingly, additional oxycodone HC1 formulations containing PEG 35000 and either PEG 3350 or PEG 1450 were evaluated by measuring viscosity at 75 C at 50 rpm, Formulations were weighed out according to total wt %
of a 15g batch. Each formulation was poured into a viscosity testing crucible and placed in an 80 ( water bath to melt. Once fully melted, the formulations were mixed using a stainless steel spatula and transferred to a Brookfield DV-11+ Pro Viscometer (VIS29 NCD: Upon Use) utilizing Spindle: 527 (Small Sample Adapter). The viscometer was equipped with a water jacketed crucible platform. Once the melt temperature reached 75 "C, a viscosity reading was taken in centipoise (cP). Based on manufacturer specifications, an acceptable viscosity for the purposes of this study is 1000 cP. The particle size after grinding and stability at 40 C / 75%
relative humidity (RH) was also determined. For the grinding analysis, an acceptable particle size after grinding was considered to be 75% particles 500 urn in diameter.
All formulations were size 3 opaque hard gelatin capsules.
[0081] As shown in Table 6 below, batch number 100 containing 11% PEG
35000 and 44% PEG 1450 had a viscosity of 1288 CP at 75 "C 50 rpm, above the manuficturer specification of< 1000 cP, Accordingly, viscosity was not measured for the formulations containing higher percentages of PEG 35000 (i.e. batch numbers 97-99). In addition, batch number 100 was not sufficiently stable for storage, since this formulation was a very viscous liquid at the stability test conditions of 40 C 75% RH, [0082] Although batch. number 101 containing 5.5% PEG 35000 and 49.5% PEG
had an acceptable viscosity (705 cP) at 75 C / 50 rpm, the stability tests revealed that this formulation was a very viscous liquid at 40 'C 75% RE, and thus was not stable for storage.
Because the formulations containing 11% PEG 35000 (batch number 100) and 5.5%
(batch number 101) were not sufficiently stable for storage, stability of batch number 103 containing 7.7% PEG 35000 was not determined.
[0083] Formulations containing PEG 35000 and PEG 3350 were also evaluated. As shown in Table 6 below, the formulation containing 6.97% PEG 35000 and 62.7%
(batch number 104) and the formulation containing 7.7% PEG 35000 and 69.3% PEG
(batch number 105) met all of the criteria for particle size after grinding, viscosity, and stability.

Example 3 - Evaluation of Dyes [0084] Numerous dyes were evaluated for their potential to deter intravenous abuse.
Varying concentrations of FD&C Blue 42, green (FD&C Blue 42 and FD&C Yellow 45), FD&C
Yellow 45, FD&C Red 440, and grey dye (FD&C Blue#1, FD&C Yellow #6, FD&C Red 440) were evaluated by dissolving them in a 95% ethanol 5% purified water (190 proof) solution and passing the solution through a syringe filter, After syringe -filtering the dye solutions were visually evaluated for color intensity and rated on a scale of 0 to 5, with 0 indicating no color and indicating dark, significant color. As shown in the Table 7 below, the blue and green dyes exhibited the highest color intensity at low concentrations, e.g. 0.25% wiw.
Solutions of grey dye before and after filtering are shown in Figures 2A and 2B, respectively, The grey dye was particularly striking and less appealing. An acceptable color scale designation after extraction of the dye is? 4 on a scale of 1 to 5, with 5 being the highest level of color.

Example 4 - Immediate Release AD.F Oxycodone HO Liquid Fill Capsules [00861 Abusers of opioid products often adulterate the product to promote more rapid release of the active ingredient. The products can be chewed and swallowed, crushed and inhaled, or extracted in water or alcohol (either crushed or intact) to produce a solution that can be used for intravenous administration or dried for insufflation of a purified product.
Adulteration of the products can enable a more rapid delivery of active than can be achieved by ingestion of the intact product. This rapid onset, high exposure is associated with euphoria, drug liking, and greater abuse potential, [0087] Current abuse-deterrent formulations have limitations. Insufflation is a common route of abuse for oxycodone products. To be attractive for insufflation, crushing a product should yield particles of less than 5001,tm to allow uptake of the active substance though the nasal mucosa. Therefore, abuse deterrent formulations can be made to discourage crushing or breaking of tablets to yield particles less than 500 gm, Test methods using flat platens to crush the product as a criterion for abuse deterrence is not meaningful. Al! C-11 narcotic drug products tested can be cut with an edged surface (e.g., scissors or a razor blade) and therefore can potentially be abused, with forces that are substantially lower than what has been reported using the breaking strength test or equivalent (e.g., >500 N). Flattening the tablets using forces greater than 500 N (with traditional "tablet breaking force" definitions) does not address abuse deterrence potential in the tested C-II narcotic drug products, [0088] Grinding can be a better evaluation of the relative resistance of marketed products to abuse. 'The formulation of the present disclosure compares favorably against Roxicodone with respect to a decrease in the percentage of particles produced after grinding that are smaller than 500 gm, Statistically different results emerge between the formulation of the present disclosure and Roxicodone in the degree of resistance to grinding, with the formulation of the present disclosure yielding less than 50% of particles smaller than 500 .1.rn, compared with approximately 77% of particles less than 500 um for Roxicodone . Better resistance to grinding can be due to differences in the manutheturing processes and/or the excipients employed for the two products.
[00891 The formulation of the present disclosure can be resistant to abuse by nasal insufflation or extraction due to, in part, the waxy nature of the formulation contents and the solubility of the excipients. The excipients can be both water and alcohol soluble to create a formulation that makes it time consuming and costly to extract oxycodone HCI
from the formulation contents without also extracting the excipients. A high molecular weight PEG can be included because of its solubility properties (e.g., soluble in both alcohol and water) and its resistance to grinding to particle sizes of less than 500 High-molecular weight PECis are less viscous at melt temperatures than long chain PEG molecules and are soluble in both water and alcohol, [0090] Dyes can also be used and chosen to be soluble in both water and alcohol to produce a dark colored solution upon extraction and filtering as a visual deterrent to abuse. The fbrmulation can include the following components listed in the Table 8 below, including a number of different dyes. Table 8 below lists the components along with their solubility information taken from the various literature sources and tested experimentally (e.g,, 200 proof ethanol and filtered through a 0.45 micrometer PTFE filter). The extraction of the active to a pure form can be very difficult using water or alcohol, Table 8: Solubility of the Components of the Present Disclosure Formulation Alcohol ¨1 Water Alcohol Solubility Solubility Components Solubility (Literature) (Tested) Oxycodone HCI Yes Yes Yes Hydroeodooe Bitartrate Yes Slightly N/A

The waxy material contained in the formulations of the present disclosure can make it difficult to manipulate into particles small enough to be easily absorbed by the nasal mucosa.
'The waxy material may also congeal once introduced to the setni-aqueous environment of the nasal passages, which can make it difficult to introduce the oxycodone HO or hydrocodone bitartrate to the bloodstream via the nasal passages, [0092] The formulations of the present disclosure can contain one or more of the following barriers to abuse. Insuffiation - The formulation can be formulated to resist grinding to particle sizes of less than about 500 urn. Extraction and Purification - The formulation can be formulated with water- and alcohol-soluble dyes to create a dark colored solution upon extraction that can be visuali unappealing to intravenous drug users. The water- and alcohol-soluble excipients can present obstacles to purification of the active. In some formulations, lithe solvent is flashed off or otherwise evaporated, the excipients can return to the same waxy, dark-colored form as before being introduced to the solvent. Vaporization --- The formulation can contain an active, such as oxycodone HCI, which can degrade at temperatures close to where vaporization occurs. Chewing Because the formulation is an immediate release formulation, it is not expected that crushing or cutting the dosage form will result in an especially rapid release of the drug to produce a "euphoric high,"

Example 5 ¨ Abuse Deterrent Properties of Itutriediate Release Liquid Fill Capsule PEG
Formulations [00100] In one embodiment. there are at least three determining factors which deem an immediate release drug product "abuse deterrent," namely resistance to grinding, purity upon extraction, and visual evaluation following extraction. Cutting the dosage form can be performed in order to increase the surface area of the product prior to ingesting it in an effort to increase the rate of dissolution into the digestive tract, Cutting can also be used to increase the efficiency of grinding or extraction. Cutting alone, however, is not sufficient to render a formulation abusable. Grinding the dosage form can be performed in order to decrease the particle size of the product more efficiently than cutting in an effort to insufflate (snort) for immediate release into the blood vessels of the nasal passages. A readily available tool used for grinding is a commercially available coffee grinder. In one embodiment, a drug product is considered abuse deterrent if the % material in the pan (5500[un) is f:; 50%.
A dosage form which, when ground, produces 50% of the material on a per-dosage form basis available for nasal insufflation (< 500m) is considered abuse deterrent. The purpose of this study was to determine the grinding potential of different dosage forms of oxycodone Fla Texture analysis is the mechanical testing of pharmaceutical products in order to measure their physical properties. The Retsch Knife Mill GRINDOMIX GM200 (IE96) was utilized to mimic a commercially available coffee grinder (IVEr. Coffee) in order to grind the drug products into a particle size that is suitable for intranasal abuse (insufflation). Particle size analysis was conducted utilizing an ATM L3P Sonic Sifter (TE47), utilizing a 500 micrometer (pm) particle size sieve (35 mesh). For the purposes of this study, any particle less than 500 pm in diameter is considered suitable for intranasal abuse. It is generally accepted that any particle greater than 500 pm in diameter cannot be sufficiently absorbed by the blood vessels in the nasal passages.
[001011 The :Retsch Knife Mill GRINDOMIX GM200 utilizes a circular blade attachment to mimic commercially available coffee grinders. The CiI1/4,1200 has a top speed of 10,000 revolutions per minute (rpm), while commercially available coffee grinders have a top speed of approximately 20,000 rpm (an approximate two-fold increase in speed when comparing the CiM200 to a Mr. Coffee grinder). However, the approximate two-fold increase in blade diameter (118 mm vs. 60 mm, when comparing the GM200 to a Mr. Coffee grinder, respectively) compensates for the approximate twofold decrease in top speed via the inversely proportional relationship of the two variables. Further, the torque provided by the GM200 is significantly higher than the torque provided by a Mr. Coffee grinder (0.860 Nm (Newton meters) of the GM200 vs. 0.062 NM of the Mr. Coffee grinder, respectively), which additionally illustrates the ability (or lack thereof) of the Mr. Coffee grinder to modify the drug products into a particle size suitable for intranasal abuse. The study evaluated the difference in particle sizes of several different formulations of oxycodone HO following modification (grinding) by the GM200.
[00102] Experimental: The samples tested are formulated according to Table 9.
The following test equipment was used: Retsch Knife Mill GRINDOMIX GM200 (TE96), Sonic Sifter (TE47), and a 500 pm sieve (35 mesh.). The following testing conditions were used:
Analysis speed: 10,000 rpm; Analysis time: 30 seconds; Sieve Size: 500 pm (35 mesh); Analysis time: 1 minutes (no pulse). Each sample was prepared in triplicate (N::::3), [00103] The composite sample was transferred to a tared weigh boat and the weight of the sample was recorded. The following equation was used to calculate the sample loss;

[00104] The weight of the 35 mesh sieve and sample pan was recorded. The testing apparatus was assembled with the 35 mesh sieve above the sample pan. The composite sample was transferred to the testing apparatus and analyzed utilizing the following parameters: 1 minute analysis time and no pulse. The analyzed 35 mesh sieve and sample pan were weighed, 'file %

formulations tested. During testing it was observed by visual observation that the capsule portion of the dosage form of all evaluated batches was not being significantly modified by TE96, and that the majority of the capsule portion remained in the 35 mesh sieve 500um).
The grinding / particle size analysis for this protocol is based on weight differences, which, when the capsule portion is taken into account, can skew the results towards a higher proportion of particles 500 p.m, [00106] In order to confirm the particle size of capsules modified by TE96, three empty size 3 capsules (N-1) were ground and analyzed. Table 11 shows that for size $
capsules, 99% of the particles by weight were? 500 pm. Additional calculations were made which compensated for the percentage of capsules > or < 500 prn, These calculations removed the average capsule weight from the analyzed sample by subtracting it from the weight? 500 pm and the weight <500 pin. The results adjusted for capsule weight are shown in Table 12.

This method can be performed, and is often performed, using a high proof alcohol or an aqueous media. The formulation of the present disclosure can be readily soluble in both aqueous and alcohol environments when the contents are removed from the capsule. Therefore, aqueous and alcohol extraction techniques were evaluated. Solutions were analyzed qualitatively for solution color following filtration, as well as quantitatively for % label claim (LC) (with regards to oxycodone HCI) of solution following filtration. Additionally, evaporated residual samples were analyzed qualitatively for residue color following evaporation, as well as quantitatively for purity determination following the %LC calculations. The quantitative results of the analysis determine the %
purity (with regards to oxycodone of the extracted sample solution described above. A drug product can be considered abuse deterrent if the % residue purity is < 50%, In other embodiments, less than or equal to 40%, 45%, 55%, 60%, 65%, 70% or 75%. Residue purity levels (with regards to the API) < 50% can infer that the excipient load is greater than the API level contained in the residue. In one embodiment, this can be considered abuse deterrent with regards to potential intravenous abuse of a purified residue. Using the data analysis software functionality of Microsoft Excel and a 95% significance interval (p-value 0.05), the F-test and t-tests was analyzed in order to determine if the drug products provide statistically different % purity values, [00110] Tables 14 and 15 show the formulation of the present disclosure results in 9% and 9%
purity with regards to oxycodone I-1C1, in alcohol and aqueous environments, respectively. This is in comparison to Roxicodone 15mg, which has a purity of 68% and 19% purity in alcohol and aqueous environments, respectively. This data proves the formulation of the present disclosure is statistically different than Roxicodone in both alcohol and aqueous extracts.

Color can be applied to the dosage form in two ways: dye or coating. High potency alcohol (i.e., %.190 proof (95%)) is one extraction solvent that can be used by abusers for APIs which are insoluble in water or in order to separate the API from other water soluble excipients.
[)yes or coatings can potentially be used to alter the physical appearance of the extracted solution of drug product (i.e., turn the resulting solution a noticeable color).
[001121 Accordingly, the inclusion of one or more dyes in a drug formulation is one method to render a formulation abuse deterrent. Significant discoloration of an extraction product from a formulation subject to abuse can discourage a potential abuser from using (e.g., injecting or ingesting) the extraction product.
[00113] .A study was conducted to investigate the effect of dyes in the tbrmulations of the present disclosure. Extraction products from whole formulations were visually inspected to determine abuse deterrence following alcohol extraction. Capsules were added to a flask containing 190 proof ethanol and shaken at 250 rpm Ibr 3 hours. After 3 hours all capsule contents were fully dissolved. Solutions were filtered with a syringe filter and then visually analyzed for color intensity. The samples tested were the immediate release oxycodone capsules according to Table 9 above.
[00114] The unfiltered and filtered solutions are shown in Figures 4 and 5, respectively. As shown in Table 16 below, all of the -filtered solutions had a color value of 5, indicating that all seven evaluated batches produced a filtered solution which was significantly dark in color. This significant dark color provides potential abuse deterrence to CU narcotic drug products.

Example 4 - Immediate Release AD.F Oxycodone HO Liquid Fill Capsules [00861 Abusers of opioid products often adulterate the product to promote more rapid release of the active ingredient. The products can be chewed and swallowed, crushed and inhaled, or extracted in water or alcohol (either crushed or intact) to produce a solution that can be used for intravenous administration or dried for insufflation of a purified product.
Adulteration of the products can enable a more rapid delivery of active than can be achieved by ingestion of the intact product. This rapid onset, high exposure is associated with euphoria, drug liking, and greater abuse potential, [0087] Current abuse-deterrent formulations have limitations. Insufflation is a common route of abuse for oxycodone products. To be attractive for insufflation, crushing a product should yield particles of less than 5001,tm to allow uptake of the active substance though the nasal mucosa. Therefore, abuse deterrent formulations can be made to discourage crushing or breaking of tablets to yield particles less than 500 gm, Test methods using flat platens to crush the product as a criterion for abuse deterrence is not meaningful. Al! C-11 narcotic drug products tested can be cut with an edged surface (e.g., scissors or a razor blade) and therefore can potentially be abused, with forces that are substantially lower than what has been reported using the breaking strength test or equivalent (e.g., >500 N). Flattening the tablets using forces greater than 500 N (with traditional "tablet breaking force" definitions) does not address abuse deterrence potential in the tested C-II narcotic drug products, [0088] Grinding can be a better evaluation of the relative resistance of marketed products to abuse. 'The formulation of the present disclosure compares favorably against Roxicodone with respect to a decrease in the percentage of particles produced after grinding that are smaller than 500 gm, Statistically different results emerge between the formulation of the present disclosure and Roxicodone in the degree of resistance to grinding, with the formulation of the present disclosure yielding less than 50% of particles smaller than 500 .1.rn, compared with approximately 77% of particles less than 500 um for Roxicodone . Better resistance to grinding can be due to differences in the manutheturing processes and/or the excipients employed for the two products.
[00891 The formulation of the present disclosure can be resistant to abuse by nasal insufflation or extraction due to, in part, the waxy nature of the formulation contents and the solubility of the excipients. The excipients can be both water and alcohol soluble to create a formulation that makes it time consuming and costly to extract oxycodone HCI
from the formulation contents without also extracting the excipients. A high molecular weight PEG can be included because of its solubility properties (e.g., soluble in both alcohol and water) and its resistance to grinding to particle sizes of less than 500 High-molecular weight PECis are less viscous at melt temperatures than long chain PEG molecules and are soluble in both water and alcohol, [0090] Dyes can also be used and chosen to be soluble in both water and alcohol to produce a dark colored solution upon extraction and filtering as a visual deterrent to abuse. The fbrmulation can include the following components listed in the Table 8 below, including a number of different dyes. Table 8 below lists the components along with their solubility information taken from the various literature sources and tested experimentally (e.g,, 200 proof ethanol and filtered through a 0.45 micrometer PTFE filter). The extraction of the active to a pure form can be very difficult using water or alcohol, Table 8: Solubility of the Components of the Present Disclosure Formulation Alcohol ¨1 Water Alcohol Solubility Solubility Components Solubility (Literature) (Tested) Oxycodone HCI Yes Yes Yes Hydroeodooe Bitartrate Yes Slightly N/A

The waxy material contained in the formulations of the present disclosure can make it difficult to manipulate into particles small enough to be easily absorbed by the nasal mucosa.
'The waxy material may also congeal once introduced to the setni-aqueous environment of the nasal passages, which can make it difficult to introduce the oxycodone HO or hydrocodone bitartrate to the bloodstream via the nasal passages, [0092] The formulations of the present disclosure can contain one or more of the following barriers to abuse. Insuffiation - The formulation can be formulated to resist grinding to particle sizes of less than about 500 urn. Extraction and Purification - The formulation can be formulated with water- and alcohol-soluble dyes to create a dark colored solution upon extraction that can be visuali unappealing to intravenous drug users. The water- and alcohol-soluble excipients can present obstacles to purification of the active. In some formulations, lithe solvent is flashed off or otherwise evaporated, the excipients can return to the same waxy, dark-colored form as before being introduced to the solvent. Vaporization --- The formulation can contain an active, such as oxycodone HCI, which can degrade at temperatures close to where vaporization occurs. Chewing Because the formulation is an immediate release formulation, it is not expected that crushing or cutting the dosage form will result in an especially rapid release of the drug to produce a "euphoric high,"

Example 5 ¨ Abuse Deterrent Properties of Itutriediate Release Liquid Fill Capsule PEG
Formulations [00100] In one embodiment. there are at least three determining factors which deem an immediate release drug product "abuse deterrent," namely resistance to grinding, purity upon extraction, and visual evaluation following extraction. Cutting the dosage form can be performed in order to increase the surface area of the product prior to ingesting it in an effort to increase the rate of dissolution into the digestive tract, Cutting can also be used to increase the efficiency of grinding or extraction. Cutting alone, however, is not sufficient to render a formulation abusable. Grinding the dosage form can be performed in order to decrease the particle size of the product more efficiently than cutting in an effort to insufflate (snort) for immediate release into the blood vessels of the nasal passages. A readily available tool used for grinding is a commercially available coffee grinder. In one embodiment, a drug product is considered abuse deterrent if the % material in the pan (5500[un) is f:; 50%.
A dosage form which, when ground, produces 50% of the material on a per-dosage form basis available for nasal insufflation (< 500m) is considered abuse deterrent. The purpose of this study was to determine the grinding potential of different dosage forms of oxycodone Fla Texture analysis is the mechanical testing of pharmaceutical products in order to measure their physical properties. The Retsch Knife Mill GRINDOMIX GM200 (IE96) was utilized to mimic a commercially available coffee grinder (IVEr. Coffee) in order to grind the drug products into a particle size that is suitable for intranasal abuse (insufflation). Particle size analysis was conducted utilizing an ATM L3P Sonic Sifter (TE47), utilizing a 500 micrometer (pm) particle size sieve (35 mesh). For the purposes of this study, any particle less than 500 pm in diameter is considered suitable for intranasal abuse. It is generally accepted that any particle greater than 500 pm in diameter cannot be sufficiently absorbed by the blood vessels in the nasal passages.
[001011 The :Retsch Knife Mill GRINDOMIX GM200 utilizes a circular blade attachment to mimic commercially available coffee grinders. The CiI1/4,1200 has a top speed of 10,000 revolutions per minute (rpm), while commercially available coffee grinders have a top speed of approximately 20,000 rpm (an approximate two-fold increase in speed when comparing the CiM200 to a Mr. Coffee grinder). However, the approximate two-fold increase in blade diameter (118 mm vs. 60 mm, when comparing the GM200 to a Mr. Coffee grinder, respectively) compensates for the approximate twofold decrease in top speed via the inversely proportional relationship of the two variables. Further, the torque provided by the GM200 is significantly higher than the torque provided by a Mr. Coffee grinder (0.860 Nm (Newton meters) of the GM200 vs. 0.062 NM of the Mr. Coffee grinder, respectively), which additionally illustrates the ability (or lack thereof) of the Mr. Coffee grinder to modify the drug products into a particle size suitable for intranasal abuse. The study evaluated the difference in particle sizes of several different formulations of oxycodone HO following modification (grinding) by the GM200.
[00102] Experimental: The samples tested are formulated according to Table 9.
The following test equipment was used: Retsch Knife Mill GRINDOMIX GM200 (TE96), Sonic Sifter (TE47), and a 500 pm sieve (35 mesh.). The following testing conditions were used:
Analysis speed: 10,000 rpm; Analysis time: 30 seconds; Sieve Size: 500 pm (35 mesh); Analysis time: 1 minutes (no pulse). Each sample was prepared in triplicate (N::::3), [00103] The composite sample was transferred to a tared weigh boat and the weight of the sample was recorded. The following equation was used to calculate the sample loss;

[00104] The weight of the 35 mesh sieve and sample pan was recorded. The testing apparatus was assembled with the 35 mesh sieve above the sample pan. The composite sample was transferred to the testing apparatus and analyzed utilizing the following parameters: 1 minute analysis time and no pulse. The analyzed 35 mesh sieve and sample pan were weighed, 'file %

formulations tested. During testing it was observed by visual observation that the capsule portion of the dosage form of all evaluated batches was not being significantly modified by TE96, and that the majority of the capsule portion remained in the 35 mesh sieve 500um).
The grinding / particle size analysis for this protocol is based on weight differences, which, when the capsule portion is taken into account, can skew the results towards a higher proportion of particles 500 p.m, [00106] In order to confirm the particle size of capsules modified by TE96, three empty size 3 capsules (N-1) were ground and analyzed. Table 11 shows that for size $
capsules, 99% of the particles by weight were? 500 pm. Additional calculations were made which compensated for the percentage of capsules > or < 500 prn, These calculations removed the average capsule weight from the analyzed sample by subtracting it from the weight? 500 pm and the weight <500 pin. The results adjusted for capsule weight are shown in Table 12.

This method can be performed, and is often performed, using a high proof alcohol or an aqueous media. The formulation of the present disclosure can be readily soluble in both aqueous and alcohol environments when the contents are removed from the capsule. Therefore, aqueous and alcohol extraction techniques were evaluated. Solutions were analyzed qualitatively for solution color following filtration, as well as quantitatively for % label claim (LC) (with regards to oxycodone HCI) of solution following filtration. Additionally, evaporated residual samples were analyzed qualitatively for residue color following evaporation, as well as quantitatively for purity determination following the %LC calculations. The quantitative results of the analysis determine the %
purity (with regards to oxycodone of the extracted sample solution described above. A drug product can be considered abuse deterrent if the % residue purity is < 50%, In other embodiments, less than or equal to 40%, 45%, 55%, 60%, 65%, 70% or 75%. Residue purity levels (with regards to the API) < 50% can infer that the excipient load is greater than the API level contained in the residue. In one embodiment, this can be considered abuse deterrent with regards to potential intravenous abuse of a purified residue. Using the data analysis software functionality of Microsoft Excel and a 95% significance interval (p-value 0.05), the F-test and t-tests was analyzed in order to determine if the drug products provide statistically different % purity values, [00110] Tables 14 and 15 show the formulation of the present disclosure results in 9% and 9%
purity with regards to oxycodone I-1C1, in alcohol and aqueous environments, respectively. This is in comparison to Roxicodone 15mg, which has a purity of 68% and 19% purity in alcohol and aqueous environments, respectively. This data proves the formulation of the present disclosure is statistically different than Roxicodone in both alcohol and aqueous extracts.

Color can be applied to the dosage form in two ways: dye or coating. High potency alcohol (i.e., %.190 proof (95%)) is one extraction solvent that can be used by abusers for APIs which are insoluble in water or in order to separate the API from other water soluble excipients.
[)yes or coatings can potentially be used to alter the physical appearance of the extracted solution of drug product (i.e., turn the resulting solution a noticeable color).
[001121 Accordingly, the inclusion of one or more dyes in a drug formulation is one method to render a formulation abuse deterrent. Significant discoloration of an extraction product from a formulation subject to abuse can discourage a potential abuser from using (e.g., injecting or ingesting) the extraction product.
[00113] .A study was conducted to investigate the effect of dyes in the tbrmulations of the present disclosure. Extraction products from whole formulations were visually inspected to determine abuse deterrence following alcohol extraction. Capsules were added to a flask containing 190 proof ethanol and shaken at 250 rpm Ibr 3 hours. After 3 hours all capsule contents were fully dissolved. Solutions were filtered with a syringe filter and then visually analyzed for color intensity. The samples tested were the immediate release oxycodone capsules according to Table 9 above.
[00114] The unfiltered and filtered solutions are shown in Figures 4 and 5, respectively. As shown in Table 16 below, all of the -filtered solutions had a color value of 5, indicating that all seven evaluated batches produced a filtered solution which was significantly dark in color. This significant dark color provides potential abuse deterrence to CU narcotic drug products.
