Description:
This international application claims priority to U.S. Ser. No. 63/012,443, filed Apr. 20, 2020, the entirety of which is incorporated herein by reference. 
    
    
     SPECIFICATION 
     Background of the Invention 
     The present disclosure relates to novel oral delivery system (ODS) of pharmaceutical compositions, which have a satisfactory in-vivo performance and good bioavailability. In particular, the oral pharmaceutical composition of Hydroxychloroquine/Chloroquine in the present disclosure includes either liquid or semi solid in a reservoir patch dosage form or matrix or adhesive in a plaster dosage form for treatment of rheumatoid arthritis, malaria, lupus erythematosus, SARS CoV-2 Infection, and  Porphyria cutanea tarda  for 1 Day, 2 Day, 3 Day, 4 Day, 5 Day, 6 Day and/or 7-day continuous application. 
     Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is a chronic, inflammatory, autoimmune disorder. It is characterized by symmetric inflammation of synovial joints leading to progressive erosion of cartilage and bone. Upon untreated, the irreversible joint damage occurs within 2 years. During this disease, the body&#39;s own immune system attacks the lining of the membrane that surrounds the joints. 1-2% of world population is suffering from this disease. The occurrence of this disease is 3 times more in women than the men. This disease can occur at any age but the most patients are between 30 to 50 years of age. It can reduce the total life span of patient by 3 to 18 years. The average treatment cost in US is $6000/case/year 1 . 
     Lupus erythematosus (LE) is another autoimmune disease which mainly targets women of childbearing age although it occurs at both extremes of age and in either sex. There are variable clinical presentation ranging from a skin rash uncomplaining by extra cutaneous  stigmata  to one comprising progressive multisystem disease 2 . 
       Porphyria Cutanea tarda  (PCT) is a type of  porphyria  or blood disorder that affects the skin. PCT is one of the most common type of  porphyria . It is sometimes referred as a Vampire Disease because people with this condition often experience symptoms following exposure to sunlight. It affects female more than males. The disorder usually develops after the age of 30. PCT is a rare disorder; the occurrence is estimated to be approximately 1 case in every 10,000 to 25,000 individuals in the general population 3 . 
     Currently, American  porphyria  foundation (APF) recommends using 100 mg twice a week hydroxychloroquine. Which represents 28 mg/day. The APF recommendation dose can be developed orally. HCQ and/or CQ has been used off label due to unknown mechanism of action of this drug. The other reasons are no availability of suitable dosage form, tablets are not scored for division and the 100 mg tablet is not available in the market 4 . 
     Hydroxychloroquine (HCQ) is an immunomodulatory drug. Its sulfate salt, such as Plaquenil, is approved for the treatment of lupus erythematosus, rheumatoid arthritis, and malaria. Furthermore, HCQ and/or CQ gained interest as a potential therapeutic option for COVID-19 based on in vitro studies suggesting efficacy of HCQ and/or CQ against SARS-COv and SARS-COv-2 5 . Oral doses of the tablet range from 200 to 600 mg/day 6 . Pharmacokinetic studies reveal that the oral bioavailability is about 75% with rapid absorption kinetics. The drug is highly lipophilic and has a very large volume of distribution which results in a very long half-life (˜50 Hrs). Plasma levels of the drug can be variable with variable absorption kinetics 7 , but subsequent studies established that measurement of whole blood levels rather than plasma levels, and dosing based upon body weight considerably reduces this variability 8 . 
     Hydroxychloroquine sulfate is a white, crystalline powder which is freely soluble in water and practically insoluble in alcohol, chloroform, and in ether. The molecular weight of hydroxychloroquine sulfate is 433.95 6 . 
     
       
         
         
             
             
         
       
     
     The hydroxychloroquine base has a log P value of 3.6 with melting point of 90 C. The water solubility of base is 0.026 mg/ml 9 . The base may have very good solubility in organic solvents as compare to its salt due to higher log P value. 
     HCQ is currently available as a 200 mg oral tablet of sulfate salt of API, which is equivalent to 155 mg of the base form of API. The numerous studies concluded that HCQ peak concentration in blood was around 129.6 ng/ml while the plasma concentration was around 50.3 ng/ml in around 3 hours following 200 mg oral dose administration. Furthermore, in randomized cross over study, the bioavailability of HCQ was found to be 0.74 based on the 155 mg dose administration through oral and IV infusion 10,11 . 
     HCQ showed moderate protein binding (˜40%) with albumin and aphal-acid glycoprotein. HCQ showed high volume of distribution because of deep tissue distribution 12,13  Animal study showed the high concentration of HCQ and/or CQ in the lungs, kidney, liver and spleen. In one of the animal studies, HCQ and/or CQ concentration was found to be 6-7 times higher in lung than the plasma 14 . 
     Previous research reported HCQ clearance to be 15.5 L/Hr. Most research also have reported the terminal half-life of 30-60 days based on blood concentration and −32 days based on the plasma concentration profile. 10 Due to positive in-vitro studies on antiviral effect of HCQ and/or CQ, it gained interest as potential therapy against SARS-CoV- 2. The anti-inflammatory action of HCQ and/or CQ is dependent on immunomodulation and the downstream production of cytokines. Furthermore, successful entry of SARS-CoV-2 into host cell is strongly dependent on angiotensin-converting enzymes-2 (ACE-2) interaction with the viral spike protein. HCQ and/or CQ reduces the glycosylation of ACE-2, which inhibits the binding of SARS-CoV-2 spike protein to the cell surface and cell integration. Recent study showed that HCQ and/or CQ binds with the gangliosides, which inhibits communication between spike protein and the cell membrane and thus inhibiting viral entry to the cell 15-18 . 
     Rare but serious side effects have been reported, mostly with long term use. HCQ and/or CQ-induced acquired lysosomal storage disease causes some serious adverse effects, including myopathy and cardiomyopathy 19 . Most cases are caused by accumulation which can be augmented by CYP450 2C8 mutation 20 . Due to its higher log Ko/w value HCQ and/or CQ easily permeates myocytes, in which it binds lysosomal phospholipids, leading to lysosomal accumulation of phospholipids. Furthermore, HCQ and/or CQ inhibits lysosomal enzymes by increasing the pH, which leads to accumulation of glycogen and phospholipids. The abnormal accumulation of metabolic products in lysosomal results into lysosomal storage disease, leading to myofibrillar disorganization, atrophy, and fibrosis, which may lead to cardiomyopathy 21,22 . HCQ and/or CQ affect myocardial depolarization and repolarization through cardiac K+ channel blockage causing QT/QTc prolongation, which is an indicator of an increase risk of drug-induced torsade de pointes (TdP). TdP is usually self-limiting but can degenerate into lethal ventricular fibrillation and cause sudden cardiac death 20 . 
     Currently, the recommended dose of less than 5 mg/kg/day, HCQ and/or CQ is usually safe, although prolongation of the QT/QRS is rarely observed on a surface electrocardiogram 6 . In oral mucosal drug delivery, a oral mucosal patch or orally disintegrating composition is applied to the mucosal surface of oral cavity. Throughout the duration of oral mucosal application of a oral mucosal patch or oral disintegrating composition drug is continuously released and delivered through the intact mucosa (via transcellular, intercellular and transappendageal routes) to achieve systemic effect. Therefore, once applied oral disintegrating composition or oral mucosal patch can deliver drug into systemic circulation throughout the day or even for more than one day depending on the duration of its application which can be even up to a week. 
     Oral mucosal delivery can reduce the dosing frequency of chloroquine (CQ) and hydroxychloroquine (HCQ) which is currently administered orally 2-3 times a day. Through oral mucosal delivery, orally disintegrate compositions or oral thin film formulations or oral disintegrate tablet of CQ and/or HCQ can be applied to oral mucosa thereby delivering the drug throughout the duration of oral application. Depending on the requirement, duration of oral application and can be for one day, for two days, for three days, for four days, for five days, and/or for up to 15 days. Therefore, oral mucosal delivery can overcome the multiple dose regimen of oral delivery by reducing the dosing frequency. 
     Moreover, in oral mucosal drug delivery drug is delivered slowly and continuously throughout the duration of oral application hence there are no peaks and troughs in drug plasma concentration which are associated with multiple dose administration in a day. Therefore, by oral mucosal and/or oral disintegrating delivery of CQ and/or HCQ can have the therapeutic effect of the drug for extended period of time without drastic changes in drug plasma concentration. With respect to CQ and HCQ it is expected that adverse effects in patients will be less with the oral mucosal delivery as drug plasma concentration with oral mucosal delivery is less than peak plasma concentration associated with oral tablets. 
     It is typical for novel oral delivery system to achieve similar pharmacokinetic profiles as compared to an oral dose based on oral bioavailability and potentially reduce the overall exposure to the drug for very low oral bioavailable drugs. Oral mucosal drug products continuously deliver the active molecule in plasma at the steady state plasma concentration throughout the application period, which prevents peaks and valleys associated with typical oral drug delivery. 
     Oral mucosal drug delivery can be advantageous over conditional oral delivery because it avoids first-past effects, and variations in absorption rates due to intestinal activity and content. However, unlike the intestinal tract, oral mucosal delivery is limited by the barrier function of the mucosa and a limited surface area for absorption. The best candidates for oral mucosal delivery are small molecular weight, lipophilic molecules that are extremely potent, requiring doses less than 25 mg/day. The half-life of the drug played a vital role during multiple dosing of oral mucosal system. The longer half-life eliminates the lag time during the consequence dosing due to availability of API from the previous dosing. 
     BRIEF SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION 
     The structure of reservoir ODS according to the disclosure comprises an active substance, Hydroxychloroquine and/or chloroquine in the form of liquid, or semisolid or suspension in the pouch system. The pouch system contains impermeable backing layer, which covers the ODS on the side averted from the mucosa and detachable protective layer containing release liner in contact with mucosa for controlled delivery of Hydroxychloroquine and/or chloroquine through the oral route. 
     The structure of matrix or plaster ODS according to the disclosure comprises an active substance, Hydroxychloroquine and/or chloroquine, suspended or solubilize in the polymer or adhesive matrix, cover between impermeable backing layer and release liner and/or detachable protective layer. According to the current disclosure, the active substance, Hydroxychloroquine and/or chloroquine itself is solubilized or suspended in the pressure-sensitive adhesive or polymer matrix, or an extra placebo pressure sensitive adhesive layer may be provided which enables fixation of the ODS on the mucosa. 
     The detachable and protective layer during storage covers the release liner in reservoir ODS and the pressure sensitive adhesive ODS surface facing the mucosa and is detached before application. 
     The disclosure provides comprises both ODS designed as matrix system and or ODS designed as reservoir membrane system. 
     The ODS according to the disclosure can be used both in the form of reservoir system as well as in the form of matrix system. According to the disclosure reservoir system comprises a pouch formed from an impermeable backing, a rate controlling membrane, an adhesive peripheral ring, covered by a strippable protective backing. The impermeable backing is configured to provide a central volume, which contains a drug reservoir in the form of a semisolid or liquid having dissolved and suspended drug, therein. Although preferred embodiments of the disclosure utilize an adhesive peripheral ring outside the path of drug from the system to the oral mucosa but other means for maintaining the system on the oral mucosa can be employed. Such means include an in-line adhesive layer; adhesive overlays or other fastening means such as buckles, belts and elastic armbands is also contemplated. 
     The ODS according to the disclosure can be manufactured in such a manner that this active substance, Hydroxychloroquine and/or chloroquine containing mixture is coated onto a suitable support, for example to a thermoplastic film provided with a silicone layer, and possibly after evaporation of the solvent components-is covered with a further film which will later constitute the backing layer of ODS. The pharmaceutically acceptable substance suitable as auxiliaries such as plasticizer, tackifiers, solubilizers, stabilizers, fillers, carrier substances and permeation enhancers are in principle known to these skilled in the art. 
     The device of the present disclosure can release drug continuously by diffusion process. In this mode, the driving force is the difference in Hydroxychloroquine and/or chloroquine activity between the device reservoir and the oral mucosa and underlying tissue. The Hydroxychloroquine and/or chloroquine, which is entirely dissolved or disperse in the carrier and/or vehicle and/or polymer system in the case of present disclosure, permeates through the carrier to the oral mucosa. The reservoir or matrix system is in diffusion communication with the oral mucosa—which means that it either contacts the oral mucosa directly or contacts semipermeable material interposed between the reservoir or matrix system and the oral mucosa that provide permeation pathway for the Hydroxychloroquine and/or chloroquine and permeation enhancer to migrate from the reservoir or matrix to the oral mucosa. The interposed material may be homogenous, heterogeneous, or be composed of multiplicity of distinct layer. 
     Suitable base polymers for producing the active substance reservoir or matrix or the pressure sensitive adhesive layer of the ODS according to the disclosure are polymers based on cellulose and its derivatives (methylcellulose, ethyl cellulose, carboxymethyl cellulose, Hydroxypropyl cellulose, hydroxypropylmethyl cellulose etc.), natural polymers, polysaccharides and its derivatives such as but not limited to (agar, alginic acid and derivatives,  cassia tora  gum, collagen, gelatin, gellan gum, guar gum, pectin, potassium or sodium carrageenan, tragacanth, xanthan gum, copal, starch, chitosan, resin etc.), synthetic polymers and its derivatives such as without any limitation to carboxy vinyl polymers or carbomers (carbopol 940, carbopol 934, carbopol 971), polyethylene and its co-polymers etc. clays such as silicate etc. polyvinyl alcohol, polyacrylamide, polyvinyl pyrrolidone homopolymer and polyvinyl pyrrolidone copolymers (PVP, Poloxamer), acrylic acid its ester, polyacrylate copolymers, isobutylene, ethylene vinyl acetate copolymers, natural rubbers, synthetic rubbers such as styrene-diene copolymers, styrene-butadiene block copolymers, isoprene block copolymers, acrylonitrile butadiene rubber, butyl rubber or neoprene rubber, as well as pressure sensitive adhesive based on silicone, or “hot-melt adhesive”. The term “hot-melt adhesive” comprises any adhesive which are not liquefied with solvent but by melting at elevated temperature, preferably in the range of from 60-200° C. Suitable as hot-melt adhesive are in particular, mixture of esters of hydrogenated colophony with cellulose derivatives. The mentioned base polymers may also be used in form of suitable mixtures. 
     On top of the above-mentioned polymers other polymers known to the skilled artisan may also be used as a base polymers for producing polymer vehicle or the matrix or the pressure sensitive adhesive layer, provided they are compatible with Hydroxychloroquine and/or chloroquine. In theory, a variety of polymers, resins and additives known to the art can be taken into consideration for production of ODS. However, care must be take that these substances, in so far as coming into contact with the oral mucosa, are tolerated by the oral muosa, and that the formulation is suitable for delivering Hydroxychloroquine and/or chloroquine. 
     In another embodiment, the active substance, Hydroxychloroquine and/or chloroquine is in the simplest case dispersed, coarsely, colloidally or molecularly, in a solution or melt of base polymers. In the further ODS manufacturing techniques, the Hydroxychloroquine and/or chloroquine is in the form of supersaturated solution, nano-emulsion or nano-suspension, amorphous, crystalline, co-crystals, coated with base polymers or solubilize in polymers using hot melt extrusion process. 
     A preferred embodiment of the disclosure consists in that the active substance Hydroxychloroquine and/or chloroquine is present in the reservoir of ODS in dissolved condition; in this case the formulation should, if possible, contain a solubilizer. Selected examples for solubilizers are polysorbate such as but not limited to (polysorbate 20, polysorbate 40, polysorbate 60, polysorbate 80 etc), span such as but not limited to (span 80, span 20 etc), surfactants such as (anionic, cationic, nonionic and amphoteric), propylene glycol monocaprylate type I, propylene glycol monocaprylate type II, propylene glycol dicaprylate, medium chain triglycerides, propylene glycol monolaurate type II, linoleoyl polyoxyl-6 glycerides, Caprylic glyceride, oleoyl-polyoxyl-6-glycerides, lauroyl polyoxyl-6-gylcerides, polyglyceryl-3-dioleate, diethylene glycol monoethyl ether, propylene glycol monolaurate type I etc, cyclodextrins, polyhydric alcohol, especially 1,2-propanediol, butanediol, glycerine, polyethylene glycol (m.w. 200 and higher), Dimethyl Sulfoxide, Dimethyl Isosorbide, tetrahydrofurfuryl alcohol, diethyl tolumide, monoisopropylidene glycerine and others Solubilizers, surfactants, emulsifying agents, dispersing agents and similar compounds or chemicals known to those skilled in the art can be used either alone or in combination thereof. It has proved to be advantageous for the portion of the solubilizer to be 1 to 99% wt, especially preferred 5 to 75% wt. relative to the overall weight of the Hydroxychloroquine and/or chloroquine reservoir. It is to be taken into consideration that some of the mentioned solubilizers, e.g. Dimethyl Sulfoxide, Dimethyl Isosorbide, diethylene glycol monoethyl ether, can simultaneously act as a permeation enhancing agents. 
     In another embodiment, solvents can be also used to make up the weight of the total reservoir or matrix or pressure sensitive adhesive matrix systems. Theses solvents can also be used to increase the solubility of Hydroxychloroquine and/or chloroquine in the reservoir or matrix systems. Such solvents known to those skilled in the art can be used either alone or in mixture thereof without any limitation to following like alcohol C1-C20 such as but not limited to (methanol, ethanol, isopropyl alcohol, butanol, propanol etc.), polyhydric alcohols, isopropyl myristate, water, glycols such as but not limited (propylene glycol, polyethylene glycol, dipropylene glycol, hexylene glycol, glycerine etc.), pyrrolidone such as but not limited to (N-methyl 2-pyrrolidone, 2-pyrrolidone etc.), sulfoxides such as but not limited to (dimethyl Sulfoxide, decylmethylsulfoxide etc.), dimethyl Isosorbide, mineral oils, vegetable oils, volatile chemicals which can be used to make matrix patch such as but not limited to (ethanol, propanol, ethyl acetate, acetone, methanol, dichloromethane, chloroform, toluene, Isopropyl alcohol), acids such as but not limited to lactic acid, acetic acid, bases and others. 
     To achieve a high Hydroxychloroquine and/or chloroquine flux through the oral mucosa, it has proved particularly beneficial, especially in matrix or adhesive systems, for the Hydroxychloroquine and/or chloroquine reservoir or matrix or pressure sensitive adhesive to contain permeation enhancing excipients in an amount of 0.1 to 25% wt, preferably from 1 to 15% wt, in each case relative to the total weight of the Hydroxychloroquine and/or chloroquine reservoir or matrix or pressure sensitive adhesive. Preferred example for oral mucosal permeation-enhancing agents are water, sulfoxides, and similar chemicals such as but not limited to (dimethylsulfoxide, dimethylacetamide, dimethylformamide, decylmethylsulfoxide, dimethylisosorbide etc), azone, pyrrolidones such as but not limited to (N-methyl-2-pyrrolidone, 2-pyrrolidone etc), esters such as but not limited to (Propylene glycol monolaurate, butyl ethanoate, ethyl ethanoate, isopropyl myristate, isopropyl palmitate, methyl ethanoate, decyl oleate, glycerol monooleate, glycerol monolaurate, lauryl laurate etc), fatty acids such as but not limited to (capric acid, caprylic acid, lauric acid, oleic acid, myristic acid, linoleic acid, stearic acid, palmitic acid etc), alcohols, fatty alcohols and glycols such as but not limited to (oleyl alcohol, ethanol, dodecanol, propylene glycol, glycerol etc), ethers such as but not limited to (diethylene glycol monoethyl ether), urea, polyoxyethylene fatty alcohol ethers, polyoxyethylene fatty acid esters, esters of fatty alcohols, esters of long chain fatty acids with methyl, ethyl or isopropyl alcohol, esters of fatty alcohols with acetic acid, lactic acid, as well as oleic acid diethanolamine, essential oils, terpene and terpenoids such as but not limited to (terpineol, limonene, thymol, cineole etc), surfactant type enhancers (polysorbate 80, polysorbate 20 etc.), liposomes, niosomes, transferomes, ethanosomes, etc and all penetration or permeation enhancers referred in the book “Percutaneous Penetration Enhancers” (Eric W. Smith, Howard I. Mailbach, 2005. Nov, CRC press). The permeation-enhancing substances mentioned above may be added either singly or as a mixture. 
     To achieve maximum release at constant release rate, the Hydroxychloroquine and/or chloroquine concentration in the active substance matrix or reservoir or pressure sensitive adhesive is preferably as optimized as possible. In this content, it has to be kept in mind, however, that the physical stability of the active substance may be adversely affected if the concentration is to high due to super-saturation, which causes precipitation. In the ODS of the disclosure, the Hydroxychloroquine and/or chloroquine concentrations employed are in the range 0.1 to 50%-wt, in particular from 1 to 25% wt, in each case relative to the total weight of the active substance reservoir or matrix or pressure sensitive adhesives. 
     Moreover, the Hydroxychloroquine and/or chloroquine matrix or pressure sensitive adhesive or individual layers of the matrix may contain plasticizers which are known to those skilled in the art either alone or in combination thereof without any limitation to following like glycerol and its esters, phosphate esters, glycol derivatives, sugar alcohols, sebacic acid esters, azelate, citric acid esters, tartaric acid esters, adipate, phthalic acid esters, triacetin, oleic acid esters and all the plasticizers which can be used in oral drug delivery system referred in the book “Handbook of Plasticizers” (George Wypych, 2004, Chem Tec Publishing). The concentration of these plasticizers may be up to 50% wt, and is preferably between 5 to 25% wt, in each case relative to the active substance matrix total weight. 
     The system and methods of the disclosure also comprise such embodiments where the Hydroxychloroquine and/or chloroquine matrix has a two or multi-layered structure, also called multi-laminate drug in adhesive patch. For example, the various matrix layers may contain polymer constitutes from the above-mentioned polymers. In this case, the matrix layers are differing from each other&#39;s in the term of polymer or pressure sensitive or hot melt polymers composition, Hydroxychloroquine and/or chloroquine concentration, different permeating enhancers or solubilizes. The layers can be separated using semi-permeable membrane between two distinct drug-in-adhesive layers or multiple drug-in-adhesive layers under a single backing film.

     As used herein, the term “oral” refers to delivery, administration or application of a drug by means of direct contact with mucosa. Such delivery, administration or application is also known as dermal, percutaneous, transmucosal and buccal. As used herein, “Oral” includes mucosa and oral cavities, which includes oral, buccal, nasal, rectal and vaginal mucosa. 
     As used herein, “Oral delivery system” refers to a system (e.g., a device) comprising a composition that releases drug upon application to the mucosa (or any other surface noted above). A oral delivery system may comprise a drug-containing composition, and, optionally, a backing layer and/or a release liner layer. In some embodiments, the oral delivery system is a substantially non-aqueous, solid form, capable of conforming to the surface with which it comes into contact, and capable of maintaining such contact so as to facilitate oral application without adverse physiological response, and without being appreciably decomposed by aqueous contact during oral application to a subject. Many such systems are known in the art and commercially available, such as transmucosal patches. Typically, oral delivery systems are classified into one of three categories: matrix-type systems, film forming systems and reservoir-type systems, as discussed in more detail below. 
     An oral drug delivery system also may include a drug impermeable backing layer or film. In some embodiments, the backing layer is adjacent the drug-containing composition. When present, the backing layer protects the polymer matrix layer (and any other layers present) from the environment and prevents loss of the drug and/or release of other components to the environment during use. Materials suitable for use as backing layers are well-known known in the art and can comprise films of polyester, polyethylene, vinyl acetate resins, ethylene/vinyl acetate copolymers, polyvinyl chloride, polyurethane, and the like, metal foils, non-woven fabric, cloth and commercially available laminates. A typical backing material has a thickness in the range of 2 to 1000 micrometers. For example, 3M&#39;s Scotch Pak® 1012 or 9732 (a polyester film with an ethylene vinyl acetate copolymer heat seal layer), 9723 (a laminate of polyethylene and polyester), or CoTran 9720 (a polyethylene film) are useful in the oral drug delivery systems described herein, as are Dow® backing layer films, such as Dow® BLF 2050 (a multi-layer backing comprising ethylene vinyl acetate layers and an internal SARAN® layer. 
     An oral drug delivery system also may include a release liner, typically located adjacent the opposite face of the system as compared to the backing layer. When present, the release liner is removed from the system prior to use to expose the polymer matrix layer and/or an adhesive layer prior to mucosal application. Materials suitable for use as release liners are well-known known in the art and include the commercially available products of Dow Corning Corporation designated Bio-Release® liner and Syl-off® 7610, Loparex&#39;s PET release liner (silicone-coated) and 3M&#39;s 1020, 1022, 9741, 9744, 9748, 9749 and 9755 Scotchpak™ (fluoropolymer-coated polyester films). 
     An oral delivery system may be packaged or provided in a package, such as a pouch stock material used in the prior art for oral drug delivery systems in general. For example, DuPont&#39;s Surlyn® can be used in a pouchstock material. Alternatively, a pouchstock comprising a coextruded ethylene acrylic acid/low-density polyethylene (EAA/LDPE) material, or Barex® from INEOS (acrylonitrile-methyl acrylate) may be used.

     All of the components from Table 1, with the exception of the Hydroxychloroquine and/or chloroquine, were mixed together with stirring for 18 hours. Next, the Hydroxychloroquine and/or chloroquine was added into the excipient mixture to prepare the final oral formulations. 
     Example 3 
     The following steps are provided using composition HCQ and/or CQ 1 as an example for preparing an oral patch. The above ingredients are blended by stirring for 18 hours and then, using a commercial benchtop spreader, the matrix is evenly spread onto an 8×14 inch sheet of release liner (such as 3M 9744) to a thickness of 0.5 mm. 
     The sheet is then placed in an oven at 110° F. for one hour to evaporate off the ethyl acetate adhesive solvent. An opaque backing membrane (such as 3M 9730 NR film) with low permeability to oxygen to inhibit photo and oxidative degradation is then carefully applied by hand to avoid formation of bubbles and voids. A circular die (1.5 inches diameter) is used to cut patches (7 sqcm) for subsequent studies. After drying, the drug adhesive matrix has a surface density of 5-30 mg/sqcm, containing hydroxychloroqyine in 0.1-20% w/w. 
     Example 4 
     The prepared oral formulations were then subjected to a flux measurement test as follows. Human cadaver memebrane, stored at −80° C., was thawed at room temperature in phosphate buffered saline (PBS), and visually inspected for defects before using in the study. The flux was then measured using standard Franz diffusion cells comprising a cylindrical donor compart and a separate water jacketed cylindrical receptor compartment with the volume of 13 mL. The cadaver membrane was clamped between the two compartments with the dermis side facing toward the receptor compartment. The donor compartment was filled with the Hydroxychloroquine and/or chloroquine formulations prepared as described above. The receptor compartment was filled with receptor medium, held at constant temperature, and constantly stirred to collect the Hydroxychloroquine and/or chloroquine as it diffuses through the membrane and into receptor compartment. It is important to confirm that the receptor fluid is always in contact with the membrane. The receptor compartment was emptied at 24 hr intervals for assay of Hydroxychloroquine and/or chloroquine and replaced with fresh receptor solution. In order to maintain the sink condition in the receptor compartment, it is important to keep the Hydroxychloroquine and/or chloroquine concentration in the receptor compartment less than 10% of its solubility.
