Treating gastrointestinal diseases with a tnf-alpha inhibitor
A recently filed patent (Publication Number: US20230312700A1) describes a method for treating gastrointestinal (GI) inflammatory diseases or conditions. The method involves topically administering a pharmaceutical formulation containing a TNF inhibitor to a subject in need. The administration can be done orally using an ingestible device that releases the formulation either to a specific section or subsection of the subject's GI tract containing inflammatory disease sites or proximal to those sites. This targeted administration aims to treat at least one of the disease sites effectively.
The patent also introduces a self-localization mechanism within the ingestible device to determine its location within the subject's GI tract. This mechanism helps in accurately determining the device's position within the GI tract. It achieves this by detecting transitions between different portions of the GI tract, such as the mouth and stomach, esophagus and stomach, stomach and duodenum, and others. The self-localization mechanism aims to achieve an accuracy of at least 80% in determining the device's location.
Furthermore, the patent describes the release of the pharmaceutical formulation from the device being autonomously triggered based on the self-localization of the device to a pre-selected location within the subject's GI tract. The pre-selected location can be the stomach, duodenum, jejunum, ileum, cecum, ascending colon, or traverse colon. The release of the formulation occurs simultaneously with the device's self-localization to the pre-selected location.
The patent also mentions the use of a TNF-alpha inhibitor, such as adalimumab or its biosimilar, as the therapeutically effective agent in the pharmaceutical formulation. The formulation can be released from the device at a ratio ranging from about 2:1 to about 3000:1 in terms of concentration in the subject's GI tissue compared to their blood, serum, or plasma concentration. The method can be used for both induction and maintenance doses of the TNF-alpha inhibitor.
Additionally, the patent describes an ingestible device specifically designed for treating inflammatory gastrointestinal diseases or conditions. The device includes a pharmaceutical formulation, processing devices, and machine-readable hardware storage devices. These components work together to determine the device's location within the subject's GI tract and release the formulation at a pre-selected location. The device aims to achieve an accuracy of at least 80% in self-localizing to the pre-selected location.
Overall, this patent presents a method and ingestible device for targeted treatment of GI inflammatory diseases or conditions using a TNF inhibitor. The self-localization mechanism within the device ensures accurate positioning, and the autonomous release of the formulation enhances the effectiveness of the treatment.
