| Application Number: | US18/511,852 |
| Patent Claims: |
1. An oral formulation comprising a purified peptide comprising a Guanylate Cyclase-C(GCC) agonist of amino acid sequence of SEQ ID NO: 1, wherein the purified peptide has less than 0.25% alpha-Asp-9-plecanatide relative to the weight of the purified peptide. 2. The oral formulation of claim 1, wherein the formulation further comprises at least one pharmaceutically acceptable excipient, wherein the at least one pharmaceutically acceptable excipient comprises magnesium stearate. 3. The oral formulation of claim 1, comprising 0.01 mg to 10 mg of the purified peptide. 4. The oral formulation of claim 1, comprising 0.1 mg to 5 mg of the purified peptide. 5. The oral formulation of claim 1, comprising 3 mg of the purified peptide. 6. The oral formulation of claim 1, comprising 0.15% to 0.25% by weight of alpha-Asp-9-plecanatide relative to the weight of the purified peptide. 7. An oral formulation comprising: (i) a purified peptide comprising a Guanylate Cyclase-C(GCC) agonist of amino acid sequence of SEQ ID NO: 1, wherein the purified peptide has less than 0.25% alpha-Asp-9-plecanatide relative to the weight of the purified peptide; and (ii) at least one pharmaceutically acceptable excipient, wherein the at least one pharmaceutically acceptable excipient comprises microcrystalline cellulose. 8. The oral formulation of claim 7, comprising 0.01 mg to 10 mg of the purified peptide. 9. The oral formulation of claim 7, comprising 0.1 mg to 5 mg of the purified peptide. 10. The oral formulation of claim 7, comprising 3 mg of the purified peptide. 11. The oral formulation of claim 7, wherein the at least one pharmaceutically acceptable excipient further comprises magnesium stearate. 12. The oral formulation of claim 7, comprising 0.15 to 0.25% by weight of alpha-Asp-9-plecanatide relative to the weight of the purified peptide. |
