Amorphous solid dispersions of nilotinib fumarate or nilotinib tartrate are provided, as well as pharmaceutical compositions thereof, wherein the compositions exhibit enhanced bioavailability in the fasted state. Preferably, the compositions may be orally administered to a patient in either the fed or fasted state, with a decrease or elimination of the food effect. Preferably, following oral administration of the pharmaceutical compositions, there is no substantial difference in the pharmacokinetic parameters (e.g., C max , AUC 0-t and/or AUC 0-infinity ) of nilotinib, regardless of whether the pharmaceutical compositions are administered to a subject in the fed or fasted state. |
