Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) represents a group of chronic and debilitating inflammatory diseases affecting various parts of the gastrointestinal (GI) tract. The disease incidence and prevalence have been growing worldwide since the early 21st century and this upward trend is expected to continue. Due to a complex and variable clinical presentation across different patients, the efficacy of a one-size-fits-all commercial formulation for IBD remains limited. Here, we present the development of a novel adjustable and controllable release, 3D printed colonic targeting (CORR3CT) dosage form of budesonide, to reduce off-targeting adverse effects and to potentially replace the use of enemas, which are invasive and commonly associated with poor adherence. An in vitro Gastrointestinal Simulated System (GISS) model was employed in this study to examine the ability of the 3D printed tablets to deliver budesonide to various targeted sites along the gastrointestinal tract. CORR3CT tablet with Pill-in-pill configurations were designed, fabricated and the relationship between the 3D printed design and resultant dissolution profiles were established. The 3D printed tablets also exhibited excellent and comparable dose accuracy and quality versus commercial tablets, while enhancing the delivery of budesonide to the targeted colon region. Overall, this study has laid the foundational proof of concept demonstrating controllable targeting of oral therapeutics along the gastrointestinal tract using 3D printing technologies.
