First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

What is claimed is: 1. Apremilast Form H, wherein: Form H is characterized by having 2 or more X-ray powder diffraction peaks selected from about 14.02, 19.41, 20.81 and 29.01 °2θ. 2. Apremilast Form H, according to claim 1 , wherein: Form H has an X-ray powder diffraction pattern substantially as shown in FIG. 1 . 3. Apremilast Form H, wherein: Form H is characterized by having 2 or more X-ray powder diffraction peaks selected from about 6.311, 4.570, 4.266 and 3.076 Angstroms. 4. Apremilast Form H according to claim 1 , wherein, as measured by differential scanning calorimetry: Form H is characterized by an endothermic event at about 113° C. 5. Apremilast Form H according to claim 1 , wherein: Form H is characterized by a differential scanning calorimetry pattern substantially as shown in FIG. 7 . 6. A composition comprising apremilast Form H according to claim 1 . 7. The composition according to claim 6 , wherein the composition is a pharmaceutical composition further comprising at least one pharmaceutically acceptable excipient. 8. A method of treating psoriatic arthritis and psoriasis comprising administering a pharmaceutical formulation according to claim 7 to a subject in need thereof. 9. A method of making apremilast Form H according to claim 1 , comprising exposing a starting material comprising apremilast to dimethylformamide and water to yield apremilast Form H. 10. A method of making apremilast Form H according to claim 1 , comprising exposing a starting material comprising apremilast to dimethylformamide and tert-butyl methyl ether to yield apremilast Form H.
