The revival of the mini-tablets: Recent advancements, classifications and expectations for the future

Review

Author: Lura, Valentinë ; Lura, Ard ; Breitkreutz, Jörg ; Klingmann, Viviane

Mini-tablets have recently raised huge interest in pharmaceutical industry. The present review aims to identify the rational, the opportunities and challenges of this emerging small solid drug dosage form by a structured literature review following the PRISMA algorithm. In total, more than 5,000 literature and patent sources have been found starting with the very first in the 60s of the past century, followed by the first multiparticular products using mini-tablets with pancreatin (Panzytrat® by the former BASF subsidiary Knoll/Nordmark) authorized in 1985. There seems to be a second boost of common interest in the 2000s when clinical studies demonstrated that one or more mini-tablets could enable superior drug administration even in very young patients including neonates over the former gold standard, a liquid drug preparation. Several pharmaceutical companies immediately started clinical development programs using the mini-tablet concept and the first products have been recently authorized by the competent authorities. Superiority was given as the mini-tablets ease the swallowing procedure compared to conventional tablets, enable various modified drug release opportunities including taste-masking by film-coating technology and provide excellent drug stability compared to liquid oral dosage forms. Due to these product attributes they are particularly beneficial to children and their caregivers. Furthermore, there is potential for precise individual drug dosing by counting adequate amounts of the multiple drug carriers. Most recently, two novel products with different concepts were authorized by the EMA and entered the market which are highlighted in this review: the first orodispersible mini-tablet with enalapril maleate for congenital heart failure (Aqumeldi® from Proveca Pharma) and the first single unit mini-tablet with matrix-type controlled melatonin release for insomnia (Slenyto® from Neurim Pharmaceuticals). Our review reveals, that the majority of the published scientific papers use co-processed, ready-to-use excipients for the orodispersible mini-tablet formulations. However, traditional fillers such as microcrystalline cellulose or lactose have also been used for immediate release mini-tablets after adding a (super)disintegrant and a lubricant. The manufacturing of mini-tablets is conducted on conventional rotary tablet presses, predominantly equipped with multi-tip toolings to improve the yield or production speed. Scaling-up has been successfully realized from compaction simulators to pilot and production scale. Film-coatings enabling gastric resistance, taste masking or sustained-release properties have been realized in both fluid-bed and drum coaters using the same polymers as for conventional tablets. There is still a significant lack in regulatory guidance despite the recent success of the mini-tablet concept, starting from suitable characterization methods in the pharmacopoeias up to the design and conduct of clinical studies on mini-tablets.

Encapsulation of ultrasound-assisted flaxseed meal protein hydrolysate in nanoliposomal systems by new formulation: Physicochemical properties, release behavior under simulated gastrointestinal conditions

Article

Author: Mahoonak, Alireza Sadeghi ; Ghaboos, Seyed Hossein Hosseini ; Farzanfar, Faezeh ; Ghorbani, Mohammad ; Kaveh, Shima

Flaxseed meal is rich in protein with antioxidant properties. In this study, its protein was hydrolyzed using alcalase and pancreatin (1.2 %-3 %) after ultrasonic pretreatment. The pancreatin-treated hydrolysate showed the highest antioxidant activity, with 75.66 % DPPH inhibition, 70.39 % iron ion chelation, and a total antioxidant activity absorption value of 0.86 nm. To enhance antioxidant stability and control release, the hydrolyzed protein was encapsulated in liposomal nanovesicles with varying flaxseed oil (0.01, 0.02 and 0.03 g/10 ml chloroform) and cholesterol (0.02, 0.03, 0.04 and 0.05 g) concentrations. Treatment L3 (0.02 g flaxseed oil) exhibited the best antioxidant and physicochemical properties, with 95.64 % encapsulation efficiency, 409 nm particle size, -15.9 mV zeta potential, 87.51 % DPPH inhibition, 56.60 % iron ion chelation, and 1.339 total antioxidant activity absorption at 695 nm. The results showed that the optimal treatment of this study (L3) can be a suitable alternative to synthetic antioxidants in food formulations.

Investigation of Probiotic Properties of Lacticaseibacillus casei 4 N‐6 Strain Isolated From Cow Milk

Article

Author: Dikbaş, Neslihan ; Uçar, Sevda ; Orman, Yusuf Can ; Alım, Şeyma

ABSTRACT:

The aim of the present study was to characterize the probiotic potential of Lacticaseibacillus casei 4 N‐6 strain isolated from cow's milk. For this purpose, acid, bile salt, pancreatin, pepsin, phenol, and lysozyme tolerance, co‐aggregation and auto‐aggregation properties, phytase production, antibiotic resistance, and antibacterial properties were analyzed in vitro. The strain had relatively poor acid, bile salt, and pepsin tolerance. However, the strain showed a high pancreatin, lysozyme, and phenol tolerance. In addition, it exhibited moderate co‐aggregation with E. coli and good autoaggregation. Furthermore, the cell‐free supernatant of Lb. casei 4 N‐6 showed a high antimicrobial activity against Bacillus cereus (N32), Salmonella enteritidis (RK‐485), and Enterococcus faecalis (RK‐487). 4 N‐6 was resistant to vancomycin, teicoplanin, gentamicin, and ceflazidime. The 4 N‐6 strain did not show hemolytic activity. In addition, this strain was found to be able to produce phytase. All the findings obtained indicate that Lb. casei 4 N‐6 is promising as a potential probiotic candidate and has superior properties that can be evaluated as a probiotic in the future. However, further research and in vivo studies are needed to fully understand its mechanism of action and optimize its use as a probiotic.

Viatris Reports Strong Third Quarter 2022 Results

Reaffirms 2022 Guidance Ranges [1] Across Total Revenues, Adjusted EBITDA and Free Cash Flow; Driven by Solid Operating Momentum Despite Foreign Exchange Headwinds and Absorbing Inflation Impact to Date Reports Total Revenues of $4.08 billion; U.S. GAAP Net Earnings of $354 million; Adjusted EBITDA of $1.50 billion; U.S. GAAP Net Cash Provided by Operating Activities of $869 million; and Free Cash Flow of $765 million Strong Year-to-Date Cash Flow; Approximately $2.81 billion of U.S. GAAP Net Cash Provided by Operating Activities and Approximately $2.56 billion in Free Cash Flow Meets Annual Target of Paying Down Approximately $2.1 billion of Debt Year to Date, One Quarter Ahead of Schedule Board of Directors Declares Quarterly Dividend of $0.12 Per Share [1] Viatris is not providing forward-looking guidance for U.S. GAAP net earnings (loss) or a quantitative reconciliation of its 2022 adjusted EBITDA guidance. U.S. GAAP net cash provided by operating activities for 2022 is estimated to be between $3.1 billion and $3.3 billion. Please see "2022 Financial Guidance" and "Non-GAAP Financial Measures" for additional information. PITTSBURGH, Nov. 7, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Viatris Inc. (NASDAQ: VTRS) today reported strong results for the third quarter of 2022 and reaffirmed its 2022 financial guidance. The Company also announced that its Board of Directors declared a quarterly dividend of twelve cents ($0.12) for each issued and outstanding share of the Company's common stock. The dividend is payable on December 16, 2022, to shareholders of record at the close of business on November 23, 2022. Viatris CEO Michael Goettler said: "We are very pleased with our seven quarters of strong financial performance, which allow us to continue to deliver on our Phase 1 financial commitments and lay a solid foundation for our return to growth in Phase 2." Viatris President Rajiv Malik said: "In addition to the strong quarterly performance, we continue to progress our pipeline of complex and novel products. I am most proud of a major milestone we achieved during the quarter, along with our partner Mapi Pharma, in announcing our positive top-line results from our Glatiramer Acetate Depot Phase III clinical trial." Viatris CFO Sanjeev Narula said: "We are extremely pleased with our momentum and how the business is performing after another strong quarter of operational results and free cash flow generation. For the third quarter we generated more than $765 million in free cash flow, and more than $2.5 billion year to date. We have paid down approximately $2.1 billion of debt year-to-date and have delivered on our 2022 debt paydown target one quarter ahead of schedule. This supports our commitment to maintaining our investment grade rating." Third Quarter Highlights Third quarter 2022 net sales totaled $4.1 billion, down 1% on an operational basis compared to Q3 2021 results but performed better than expectations, with strong performance across all segments. Base business brands increased 1% on an operational basis compared to Q3 2021 results, and performed better than expectations, driven by products such as Lipitor®, Brufen®, and Creon®. Complex generics and biosimilars performed slightly below expectations due to increased competition and customer buying patterns. Revenues from the biosimilars portfolio to be contributed to Biocon Biologics totaled approximately $185 million in the quarter. Generics, which include diversified product forms such as extended-release oral solids, injectables, transdermals and topicals, performed in line with expectations, including solid performance across the broader North America portfolio, including the launch of lenalidomide in the U.S. The Company generated approximately $144 million in new product revenues (as defined in "Certain Key Terms" below) in the third quarter (approximately $350 million for the year) primarily driven by lenalidomide, unbranded insulin glargine and interchangeable Semglee® in the U.S. and is on track to achieve approximately $525 million in new product revenues in 2022, below expectations due to timing of launches, but with better-than-expected margins. The Company generated $765 million of free cash flow in the third quarter ($2.56 billion for the year), primarily driven by solid U.S. GAAP net cash provided by operating activities of $869 million in the quarter ($2.81 billion for the year) and the timing of planned capital expenditures. Viatris paid quarterly cash dividends of twelve cents ($0.12) per share on the Company's issued and outstanding common stock on March 16, 2022, June 16, 2022 and September 16, 2022. On November 3, 2022, the Company's Board of Directors declared a quarterly dividend of twelve cents ($0.12) per share on the Company's issued and outstanding common stock, which will be payable on December 16, 2022, to shareholders of record as of the close of business on November 23, 2022. The Company paid down approximately $614 million in debt in the third quarter (approximately $2.1 billion for the year), in line with our 2022 target. The Company remains committed to maintaining its investment grade credit rating. 2022 Financial Guidance Viatris is reaffirming its 2022 financial guidance that was previously provided on August 8, 2022, as set forth below. The Company is not providing forward-looking guidance for U.S. GAAP net earnings (loss) or a quantitative reconciliation of its 2022 adjusted EBITDA guidance to the most directly comparable U.S. GAAP measure, U.S. GAAP net earnings (loss), because it is unable to predict with reasonable certainty the ultimate outcome of certain significant items, including integration and acquisition-related expenses, restructuring expenses, asset impairments, litigation settlements and other contingencies, such as changes to contingent consideration and certain other gains or losses, as well as related income tax accounting, because certain of these items have not occurred, are out of the Company's control and/or cannot be reasonably predicted without unreasonable effort. These items are uncertain, depend on various factors, and could have a material impact on U.S. GAAP reported results for the guidance period. U.S. GAAP net cash provided by operating activities for 2022 is estimated to be between $3.1 billion and $3.3 billion, with a midpoint of $3.2 billion. The Company expects to be at the lower end of the adjusted EBITDA guidance range due to negative foreign exchange impacts and expects to be around the mid-point of the range for free cash flow. Conference Call and Earnings Materials Viatris Inc. will host a conference call and live webcast, today at 8:30 a.m. ET, to review the Company's financial results for the third quarter ended September 30, 2022, and provide an update on its February 28 Investor Event. Investors and the general public are invited to listen to a live webcast of the call at investor.viatris.com or by calling 800.225.9448 or 203.518.9708 for international callers (Conference ID: VTRSQ322). The "Viatris Q3 Earnings Presentation", which will be referenced during the call, can be found at investor.viatris.com. A replay of the webcast also will be available on the website. Certain Key Terms New product sales, new product launches or new product revenues refer to revenue from new products launched in 2022 and the carryover impact of new products, including business development, launched within the last twelve months. Operational change refers to constant currency percentage change and is derived by translating amounts for the current period at prior year comparative period exchange rates, and in doing so shows the percentage change from 2022 constant currency net sales, revenues and adjusted EBITDA to the corresponding amount in the prior year. Non-GAAP Financial Measures This press release includes the presentation and discussion of certain financial information that differs from what is reported under accounting principles generally accepted in the United States ("U.S. GAAP"). These non-GAAP financial measures, including, but not limited to, adjusted gross profit, adjusted gross margins, adjusted net earnings, EBITDA, adjusted EBITDA, free cash flow, adjusted R&D and as a % of total revenues, adjusted SG&A and as a % of total revenues, adjusted earnings from operations, adjusted interest expense, adjusted other (income) expense, net, adjusted effective tax rate, constant currency total revenues, constant currency net sales and constant currency adjusted EBITDA are presented in order to supplement investors' and other readers' understanding and assessment of the financial performance of Viatris Inc. ("Viatris" or the "Company"). Free cash flow refers to U.S. GAAP net cash provided by operating activities, less capital expenditures. Adjusted EBITDA margin refers to adjusted EBITDA divided by total revenues. Management uses these measures internally for forecasting, budgeting, measuring its operating performance, and incentive-based awards. Primarily due to acquisitions and other significant events which may impact comparability of our periodic operating results, Viatris believes that an evaluation of its ongoing operations (and comparisons of its current operations with historical and future operations) would be difficult if the disclosure of its financial results was limited to financial measures prepared only in accordance with U.S. GAAP. We believe that non-GAAP financial measures are useful supplemental information for our investors and when considered together with our U.S. GAAP financial measures and the reconciliation to the most directly comparable U.S. GAAP financial measure, provide a more complete understanding of the factors and trends affecting our operations. The financial performance of the Company is measured by senior management, in part, using adjusted metrics included herein, along with other performance metrics. In addition, the Company believes that including EBITDA and supplemental adjustments applied in presenting adjusted EBITDA is appropriate to provide additional information to investors to demonstrate the Company's ability to comply with financial debt covenants and assess the Company's ability to incur additional indebtedness. The Company also believes that adjusted EBITDA better focuses management on the Company's underlying operational results and true business performance and, is used, in part, for management's incentive compensation. We also report sales performance using the non-GAAP financial measures of "constant currency", also referred to herein as "operational change", total revenues, net sales and adjusted EBITDA. These measures provide information on the change in total revenues, net sales and adjusted EBITDA assuming that foreign currency exchange rates had not changed between the prior and current period. The comparisons presented at constant currency rates reflect comparative local currency sales at the prior year's foreign exchange rates. We routinely evaluate our net sales, total revenues and adjusted EBITDA performance at constant currency so that sales results can be viewed without the impact of foreign currency exchange rates, thereby facilitating a period-to-period comparison of our operational activities and believe that this presentation also provides useful information to investors for the same reason. The "Summary of Total Revenues by Segment" table below compares net sales on an actual and constant currency basis for each reportable segment for the quarters and nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021 as well as for total revenues. Also, set forth below, Viatris has provided reconciliations of such non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable U.S. GAAP financial measures. Investors and other readers are encouraged to review the related U.S. GAAP financial measures and the reconciliations of the non-GAAP measures to their most directly comparable U.S. GAAP measures set forth below, and investors and other readers should consider non-GAAP measures only as supplements to, not as substitutes for or as superior measures to, the measures of financial performance prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP. For additional information regarding the components and uses of Non-GAAP financial measures refer to Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations—Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures section of Viatris' Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the three months ended September 30, 2022.

Report: Merck in Advanced Talks to Acquire Seagen for $40B

Chris Hondros/Getty Images Merck is in late-stage discussions to acquire Seagen for about $40 billion according to a Wall Street Journal report. Chris Hondros/Getty Images Merck is in late-stage discussions to acquire Seagen for about $40 billion, sources told The Wall Street Journal . Seagen is an appealing oncology target for Merck at a time when the latter is looking to bolster its cancer portfolio as mega-blockbuster Keytruda (pembrolizumab) teeters on the patent cliff. The WSJ report suggests Merck is offering more than $200 per share and hopes to close the deal on or before its quarterly earnings report on July 28. On Wednesday, Seagen’s stock closed at $175.13 per share. Rumors about the talks have been ongoing for several weeks. Seagen’s market cap is above $32 billion. In September 2020, the two companies inked a co-development pact to advance ladiratuzumab vedotin, a potential cancer therapy. Merck threw $600 million into the deal up front and acquired 5 million shares of Seagen stock for $1 billion. They also have a licensing deal for Tukysa in countries outside the U.S., Canada and Europe, for which Merck paid $125 million at the outset. Merck’s Keytruda, an anti-PD-1 checkpoint inhibitor, brought in $7.2 billion last year alone. In Q1 this year, the drug raked in $4.7 billion, up 23% from last year over the same period. Keytruda will lose exclusivity in 2028. Last year it made up 35.2% of Merck’s total revenue. Seagen’s focus is on antibody-drug conjugates (ADCs). These therapies link cancer-specific antibodies to cancer toxins. Its best-known drug is Adcetris. Merck is one of the top oncology companies in the world but doesn’t have much of a focus on ADCs. Its market cap is $233 billion. In a note to investors in June, Wells Fargo analyst Mohit Bansal wrote, “The real value to MRK (Merck) is qualitative as SEGEN (Seagen) adds durability and diversity to the company beyond Keytruda,” according to Seeking Alpha . If Merck and Seagen do close on a deal, they can expect regulators to take a close look. The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission has increased its scrutiny of larger mergers and is taking a hard look at competing products, sometimes forcing companies to divest drugs before the deal is approved. As an example, in 2020, when AbbVie acquired Allergan, the SEC and other regulators required the companies to divest brazikumab and Zenpep (pancrelipase). If they do manage to pull the deal together, it will be the largest life science M&A activity for the year to date. So far, the largest deal has been Pfizer’s acquisition of Biohaven for $11.6 billion. It’s been a relatively quiet year, with M&A activity in the sector down 58% compared to the first half of 2021, with a valuation of $61.7 billion. In the first half of this year, there have been 137 deals, down 33% from the same period in 2021. Other deals include Bristol Myers Squibb’s acquisition of Turning Point Therapeutics for $4.1 billion, GSK’s takeover of Affinavax for $3.3 billion and Biocon Biologics’ acquisition of Viatris’ biosimilar portfolio and related commercial and operational capabilities for $3.3 billion. There are numerous factors behind the slow M&A market, including ongoing supply chain problems, inflation, political uncertainty globally with the Russia-Ukraine war, and higher input costs, especially around packaging, due to inflationary pressures. Still, many biopharma companies have plenty of cash, especially if they have had any COVID-19-related products approved over the last two years. A recent PwC report noted that “pharma is in a good position to combat this issue as most companies have plenty of cash on hand and can take more risks by purchasing early-stage assets. With capital becoming harder to come by for most biotechs, pharma is in a good position to acquire many of these companies at a discount from their highs of just a couple of years ago.”
