Ceritinib formulation

Abstract:

The present disclosure relates to a new pharmaceutical composition comprising Ceritinib. Particularly it is directed to the tablet that is prepared by wet granulation, wherein povidone is used as a binder. Further feature of the composition is that the drug and the binder form the inner phase, whereas all other excipients are added in a powder form as an outer phase. This way, the sticking of the composition is prevented and sufficient tablet hardness can be reached.
