The development of a long-acting orally administered dosage form is a challenge. Here, we report development of a multi-layered mucoadhesive gastric patch that could deliver entrapped chemotherapeutic agent for eight days after oral administration. The multi-layered patch was designed to contain core layer, mucoadhesive layer and backing layer. The core layer contained the model chemotherapeutic agent, regorafenib. The mucoadhesive layer made of chitosan-hydrocaffeic acid conjugate showed greatest mucoadhesion strength of 18.1 ± 0.78 kPa in freshly excised rat gastric mucosa. The backing layer made of hydrophobic polycaprolactone-polydimethylsiloxane composite showed the contact angle of 120 ± 4.7° after placement of water drop. The entrapped regorafenib predominantly released from the mucoadhesive-side of the patch into simulated gastric fluid and showed a zero-order release profile. The patches were found to be stable for desired characteristics for up to 3 months in long term storage conditions. The pharmacokinetic studies in rat model revealed constant plasma concentration of regorafenib sustained for 8 days after oral administration of gastric patch. The gastric tissue where the patch adhered for 8 days did not show any significant histological changes compared with the normal gastric tissue. The oral administration of single dose of regorafenib-loaded gastric patch in FaDu cell xenografted tumor bearing athymic nude mice has shown significant (P < 0.05) reduction in the tumor volume over 7 days compared to the control group. Taken together, the multi-layered mucoadhesive gastric patch can be developed as a long-acting oral drug delivery system.
