Suspension formulations of insulinotropic peptides and uses thereof
First Claim
1. A suspension formulation suitable for use in an osmotic delivery device comprising,a particle formulation comprising an insulinotropic peptide, a disaccharide, methionine, and a buffer;
- anda non-aqueous, single-phase suspension vehicle that consists essentially of about 20 wt % to about 60 wt % benzyl benzoate and about 80 wt % to about 40 wt % polyvinylpyrrolidone, the suspension vehicle having a viscosity of between about 12,000 to about 18,000 poise at 33°
C.;
wherein the suspension vehicle exhibits viscous fluid characteristics, and the particle formulation is dispersed in the vehicle.

Abstract
A suspension formulation of an insulinotropic peptide (e.g., glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) or exenatide) is described. The suspension formulation comprises (i) a non-aqueous, single-phase vehicle, comprising one or more polymer and one or more one solvent, wherein the vehicle exhibits viscous fluid characteristics, and (ii) a particle formulation comprising the insulinotropic peptide, wherein the peptide is dispersed in the vehicle. The particle formulation further includes a stabilizing component comprising one or more stabilizers, for example, carbohydrates, antioxidants, amino acids, and buffers. Devices for delivering the suspension formulations and methods of use are also described.
