First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

What is claimed is: 1 . A pharmaceutical composition comprising irinotecan sucrose octasulfate precipitated in a matrix comprising one or more phospholipids, wherein the matrix has a size of approximately 110 nm and comprises a total of 500-550 mg irinotecan base per mmol of total phospholipids. 2 . The liposome composition of claim 1 , wherein the matrix comprises DSPC and cholesterol. 3 . The liposome composition of claim 2 , wherein the matrix comprises DSPC, cholesterol, and PEG-DSPE in a molar ratio of 3:2:0.015. 4 . The liposome composition of claim 1 , wherein the matrix comprises a total of 500 mg irinotecan base per mmol of total DSPC and PEG-DSPE. 5 . The liposome composition of claim 4 , wherein the matrix comprises DSPC, cholesterol, and PEG-DSPE in a molar ratio of 3:2:0.015. 6 . The liposome composition of claim 1 , wherein the matrix comprises a PEGylated lipid. 7 . A pharmaceutical composition comprising irinotecan sucrose octasulfate within a matrix comprising one or more phospholipids and having a size of approximately 110 nm, wherein the composition comprises a total of 500-550 mg irinotecan base per mmol of total phospholipids in the matrix, wherein at least 90% of the irinotecan in the pharmaceutical composition is in the irinotecan sucrose octasulfate within the matrix. 8 . The liposome composition of claim 7 , wherein the matrix comprises a PEGylated lipid. 9 . The composition of claim 8 , wherein the irinotecan sucrose octasulfate is precipitated within the matrix from irinotecan hydrochloride and sucrose octasulfate triethylammonium. 10 . The composition of claim 9 , wherein the irinotecan sucrose octasulfate is precipitated within the matrix. 11 . The liposome composition of claim 10 , wherein the matrix comprises DSPC and cholesterol. 12 . The liposome composition of claim 11 , wherein the matrix comprises DSPC, cholesterol, and PEG-DSPE in a molar ratio of 3:2:0.015. 13 . The liposome composition of claim 11 , wherein the matrix comprises a total of 500 mg irinotecan base per mmol of total DSPC and PEG-DSPE. 14 . The liposome composition of claim 8 , wherein the PEGylated lipid is PEG-DSPE. 15 . The liposome composition of claim 7 , wherein the composition comprises a total of 500 mg irinotecan base per mmol of total DSPC and PEG-DSPE. 16 . A pharmaceutical composition comprising irinotecan sucrose octasulfate salt precipitated within a lipid matrix comprising DSPC, cholesterol, and PEG2000-DSPE and having a size of approximately 110-120 nm, wherein the composition comprises a total of 500 mg irinotecan base per mmol of total DSPC and PEG2000-DSPE in the matrix, and wherein at least 90% of the irinotecan in the pharmaceutical composition is in the irinotecan sucrose octasulfate within the matrix. 17 . The composition of claim 16 , wherein the matrix consists of DSPC, cholesterol, and PEG2000-DSPE in a molar ratio of 3:2:0.015. 18 . The composition of claim 16 , wherein the irinotecan sucrose octasulfate is precipitated as a salt in the matrix. 19 . The composition of claim 16 , wherein the irinotecan sucrose octasulfate is formed in the matrix from irinotecan hydrochloride and sucrose octasulfate triethylammonium. 20 . The composition of claim 17 , wherein the irinotecan sucrose octasulfate is precipitated within the matrix.
