Disclosed is a method and an oral composition for treating CNS disorders. An embodiment of the invention comprises orally administering an allopregnanolone containing composition to a subject having a CNS disorder. Exemplary CNS disorders include sleep disorders, mood disorders, dysthymic disorders, bipolar disorders, anxiety disorders, stress disorders, compulsive disorders, schizophrenia spectrum disorders, convulsive disorders, memory disorders, cognition disorders, movement disorders, personality disorders, autism spectrum disorders, substance abuse disorders, dementia, pain, traumatic brain injury (TBI), vascular disease, withdrawal syndrome, and tinnitus. The composition and methods disclosed herein exhibit effective oral absorption/bioavailability.

Oral allopregnanolone compositions and methods of use

Disclosed are bioavailable solid state (17-β)-3-Oxoandrost-4-en-17-yl dodecanoate compositions and methods of use in administration to mammals in need of thereof. The (17-β)-3-Oxoandrost-4-en-17-yl dodecanoate is preferably provided in a solid state crystalline form having a plurality of peaks corresponding to the peaks shown in FIG., a plurality of crystallites ranging in size from about 40 nm to about 60 nm based as identified via powder x-ray diffraction spectra, and a melting point in the range of about 51° C. to about 63° C. The compositions may be provided in oral or injectable administration form for the treatment of conditions such as in need of testosterone therapy. An exemplary chemical structure of a (17-β)-3-Oxoandrost-4-en-17-yl dodecanoate composition disclosed herein is as follows:

(17-)-3-oxoandrost-4-en-17-yl dodecanoate compositions and methods of preparation and use

Disclosed are pharmaceutical compositions and oral dosage forms including capsules containing (17-β)-3-oxoandrost-4-en-17-yl tridecanoate, and related methods. The capsule fill can include an additive and about 14 wt % to about 42 wt % for androst-4-en-17β-ol-3-one esters that comprise (17-β)-3-oxoandrost-4-en-17-yl tridecanoate or a combination of (17-β)-3-oxoandrost-4-en-17-yl undecanoate, (17-β)-3-oxoandrost-4-en-17-yl dodecanoate, and (17-β)-3-oxoandrost-4-en-17-yl tridecanoate. A single oral administration to a male subject of one or more dosage forms with a total androst-4-en-17β-ol-3-one equivalent dose of about 150 mg to about 895 mg is provided. In another embodiment, a method for providing a serum concentration of androst-4-en-17β-ol-3-one within a target PK performance for a male subject is provided. In a further embodiment, the pharmaceutical compositions and methods comprising androst-4-en-17β-ol-3-one ester loading of 14 wt % to 42 wt % achieve androst-4-en-17β-ol-3-one PK performance targets and require titration(s) to show therapeutic effectiveness for treatment of hypogonadism.

Oral (17-β)-3-oxoandrost-4-en-17-yl tridecanoate therapy

Provided oral testosterone undecanoate compositions can be administered to hypogonadal males with a meal without the fat content of the meal substantially effecting bioavailability.

Composition and method for oral delivery of androgen prodrugs

Disclosed are methods and compositions for testosterone replacement therapy, especially for use in administration to hypogonadal males. The methods and compositions employ an untitrated dose dosing regimen that does not require titration or dose adjustments and that can provide a therapeutically effective amount of a testosterone ester, such as a non-undecanoate testosterone ester, while avoiding unacceptably high testosterone levels.

Oral testosterone therapy

Disclosed is a method and oral composition for treating a plurality of End stage diseases such as end-stage renal disease, chronic kidney disease, liver cirrhosis, chronic liver failure, end stage liver disease, Cancer, congestive Heart failure, pulmonary fibrosis, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease. In an embodiment of the invention, the composition comprises testosterone duodecanoate.

Testosterone dodecanoate compositions and methods

The present disclosure is drawn to compositions and methods for treating CNS disorders. In one embodiment, an oral pharmaceutical composition can comprise a therapeutically effective amount of pregn-4-ene-3,20-dione; and a pharmaceutically acceptable carrier that provides formation of either 3α-OH-5α-pregnan-20-one, or 3α-OH-5β-pregnan-20-one, or both in an amount sufficient to treat a CNS disorder when orally administered to a subject. In another embodiment, a method of treating a CNS disorder can comprise orally administering to a subject, a therapeutically effective amount of pregn-4-ene-3,20-dione that provides an amount of GABA receptor binding pregn-4-ene-3,20-dione metabolites that is sufficient to treat the CNS disorder. In another embodiment, a method of treating a CNS disorder can comprise orally administering to the subject, a therapeutically effective amount of pregn-4-ene-3,20-dione that provides an amount of 3α-OH-5α-pregnan-20-one, or 3α-OH-5β-pregnan-20-one, or both that is sufficient to treat the CNS disorder.

Compositions and methods for treating CNS disorders

Disclosed are bioavailable solid state (17-β)-Hydroxy-4-Androsten-3-one esters suitable for pharmaceutical uses and administration to mammals in need of (17-β)-Hydroxy-4-Androsten-3-one. Pharmaceutical compositions and the dosage forms of the bioavailable solid state (17-β)-Hydroxy-4-Androsten-3-one esters can be used to treat any condition associated with testosterone deficiency, including complete absence of endogenous testosterone in male or female subjects.

Bioavailable solid state (17-beta)-hydroxy-4-androsten-3-one esters

Disclosed are pharmaceutical compositions and oral dosage forms including capsules containing (17-ß)-3-oxoandrost-4-en-17-yl tridecanoate, and related methods. The capsule fill can include an additive and about 14 wt % to about 42 wt % for androst-4-en-17β-ol-3-one esters that comprise (17-ß)-3-oxoandrost-4-en-17-yl tridecanoate or a combination of (17-ß)-3-oxoandrost-4-en-17-yl undecanoate, (17-ß)-3-oxoandrost-4-en-17-yl dodecanoate, and (17-ß)-3-oxoandrost-4-en-17-yl tridecanoate. A single oral administration to a male subject of one or more dosage forms with a total androst-4-en-17β-ol-3-one equivalent dose of about 150 mg to about 895 mg is provided. In another embodiment, a method for providing a serum concentration of androst-4-en-17β-ol-3-one within a target PK performance for a male subject is provided. In a further embodiment, the pharmaceutical compositions and methods comprising androst-4-en-17β-ol-3-one ester loading of 14 wt % to 42 wt % achieve androst-4-en-17β-ol-3-one PK performance targets and require titration(s) to show therapeutic effectiveness for treatment of hypogonadism.

Methods of treating a liver disease or condition, or a symptom thereof, in a subject in need of treatment, are disclosed and described. One method comprises orally administering to a subject, a pharmaceutical composition having an amount of a testosterone, or an ester thereof, sufficient to treat the liver disease or condition, or symptom thereof.
