IMMUNOMODULATORY COMPOSITION COMPRISING A POLYMER MATRIX AND AN OIL PHASE

摘要

A pharmaceutical composition comprises a water-soluble polymer matrix in which are dispersed droplets of oil, the composition comprising at least one immunomodulator selected from an adjuvant, an antigen or a combination thereof. A method for manufacturing shaped compositions comprises mixing an aqueous solution of a water-soluble polymer with an oil-based liquid to form a water-in-oil emulsion, at least one of the aqueous solution and the oil-based liquid comprising an antigen or an adjuvant or a combination thereof, and then causing or allowing the resultant suspension to solidify into one or more beads or other shaped elements.
