Hot Melt Extruded High-Dose Amorphous Solid Dispersions Containing Lumefantrine and Soluplus.

Over the last 15 years, a small number of paediatric artemisinin-based combination therapy products have been marketed. These included Riamet® and Coartem® dispersible tablets, a combination of artemether and lumefantrine, co-developed by the Medicines for Malaria Venture and Novartis. Disappointingly, patient compliance, requirement for high-fat meal, and sporadic drug dissolution behaviours following administration still result in considerable challenges for these products.
