Summary

USPTO published patent application US20260097061A1 for an aseptically prepared azithromycin premix formulation with pH 5.5-7.5, buffering agents, and stability at refrigerated temperatures for up to 24 months. The invention covers ready-to-use aqueous solutions for IV administration that require no terminal sterilization or dilution.

What changed

USPTO published a new patent application for an azithromycin premix formulation comprising azithromycin, buffering agent, water, and optional tonicity adjusting agent. The formulation maintains stability for up to 24 months at refrigerated temperatures (about 5°C) without additional components and can be aseptically filled into glass or flexible containers for sterile IV administration without terminal sterilization.

Pharmaceutical manufacturers and drug developers should monitor this application to assess potential freedom-to-operate considerations for injectable antibiotic products. R&D teams developing azithromycin formulations may need to evaluate this prior art during product development planning.

What to do next

  1. Monitor patent prosecution status
  2. Review claims for freedom-to-operate analysis

Preferred embodiments of the aseptically prepared pharmaceutically acceptable azithromycin premix formulation contain azithromycin, a buffering agent, water and optionally a tonicity adjusting agent and are stable for one month, three months, six months, nine months, twelve months, fifteen months, eighteen months or even twenty-four months, during storage at refrigerated temperatures, such as about 5° C., even without any additional components beyond the azithromycin, the buffering agent, and the optional tonicity adjusting agent in the premix formulation. The pharmaceutically acceptable azithromycin premix formulation may be aseptically filled into a container, preferably a glass or flexible container, to form a sterile pharmaceutical azithromycin premix product which does not undergo terminal sterilization. The azithromycin premix product can be a single use premix which is a sterile, stable and ready-to-use aqueous solution for parenteral administration, for example intravenous (IV) administration such as IV infusion, and requires no dilution prior to parenteral administration.
