The present invention relates to aransdermal therapeutic system for the transdermal administration of a systemically active agent having a self-adhesive layer structure. The transdermal therapeutic system includes (A) a backing layer, and (B) a dried biphasic layer. The dried biphasic layer has (a) an outer phase having a composition comprising 75% to 100% of a polymer or polymer mixture, and (b) an inner phase having a composition that includes at least one active agent. The inner phase forms dispersed deposits in the outer phase, with the dried biphasic layer including (c) from 0.1% to 3.5% of an interface mediator other than silicone oil, with the interface mediator having with a kinematic viscosity of from 10 cSt to 100 000 cSt at 25° C.

Transdermal delivery system including an interface mediator

Transdermal therapeutic system for the transdermal administration of a systemically active agent comprising a self-adhesive layer structure, comprising A) a backing layer, and B) a dried biphasic layer, the dried biphasic layer having a) an outer phase having a composition comprising 75% to 100% of a polymer or polymer mixture, and b) an inner phase having a composition comprising at least one active agent, wherein the inner phase forms dispersed deposits in the outer phase, and c) 0.1% to 3.5% of an interface mediator with a kinematic viscosity of from 10 cSt to 100 000 cSt at 25&#xb0; C., and C) optionally an additional skin contact layer.

The present invention relates to a transdermal therapeutic system, comprising (a) a backing layer, (b) a solvent-based self-adhesive matrix layer containing rotigotine as active ingredient, and (c) a release liner, wherein the self-adhesive matrix layer has a coating weight of about 75-400 g/mand comprises a reservoir layer containing about 9-25 wt.-% rotigotine based on the weight of the reservoir layer, a kit comprising two transdermal therapeutic systems of the present invention as well as a method for the preparation of the transdermal therapeutic system of the present invention. In addition, the present invention relates to a transdermal therapeutic system comprising rotigotine as active ingredient for use in the treatment of patients suffering from Parkinson's disease, Parkinson's plus syndrome, depression, fibromyalgia and the restless-legs syndrome and for use in the treatment or prevention of dopaminergic neuron loss or cognitive disorders by transdermal administration of rotigotine once or twice weekly, wherein the transdermal therapeutic system comprises a backing layer, a solvent-based rotigotine containing self-adhesive matrix layer as well as a release liner and is adapted to allow for the transdermal administration of therapeutically effective amounts of rotigotine for at least 3 days.
