    摘要: Embodiments of the invention provide swallowable devices, preparations and methods for delivering drugs and other therapeutic agents within the GI tract. Some embodiments provide a swallowable device such as a capsule for delivering drugs into the intestinal wall or other GI lumen. The device comprises a capsule sized to be swallowed and pass through the intestinal tract. The capsule can include at least one guide tube, one or more tissue penetrating members positioned in the guide tube, a delivery member, an actuating mechanism and a release element. The release element degrades upon exposure to various conditions in the intestine so as to release and actuate the actuating mechanism. Embodiments of the invention are particularly useful for the delivery of drugs which are poorly absorbed, tolerated and/or degraded within the GI tract.

    摘要: The present invention relates to improved pharmaceutical formulations, uses and methods for the oral delivery of peptide drugs with advantageously high bioavailability, safety and costeffectiveness. In particular, the invention provides a peptide drug having a molecular weight of equal to or less than 5 kDa for use as a medicament, wherein said peptide drug is to be administered orally in combination with a pharmaceutically acceptable copper salt/complex and/or a pharmaceutically acceptable zinc salt/complex and/or a pharmaceutically acceptable iron salt/complex, and with a pharmaceutically acceptable complexing agent. The invention also provides a pharmaceutical composition comprising: a peptide drug having a molecular weight of equal to or less than 5 kDa; a pharmaceutically acceptable copper salt/complex and/or a pharmaceutically acceptable zinc salt/complex and/or a pharmaceutically acceptable iron salt/complex; and a pharmaceutically acceptable complexing agent.
