Zusammenfassung:Described are modified release softgel capsules including a pH dependent shell composition that encapsulated a controlled release fill composition, methods of preparation thereof, and methods of use thereof. The pH dependent shell composition may be characterized in that the delayed release nature of the capsules may be achieved without a separate pH dependent coating or added conventional pH dependent polymers. The softgels provide a dual controlled release platform which facilitates delivery of the active agent to a target location in the gastrointestinal tract and a controlled release profile of the active agent at said target location in the gastrointestinal tract.
