FORMULATIONS STABLE DURING TRANSITION FROM HYDROPHOBIC VEHICLE TO HYDROPHILIC MEDIUM

摘要

A suspension formulation for therapeutic use includes a non-aqueous, hydrophobic vehicle exhibiting viscous fluid characteristics, a dry particle formulation comprising a biomolecule dispersed in the vehicle, and a surfactant incorporated in at least one of the vehicle and dry particle formulation. A dry particle formulation includes an interferon, a buffer, a surfactant, and one or more stabilizers selected from the group consisting of a carbohydrate, an antioxidant, and an amino acid.
