Hydrogel Compositions Useful For The Sustained Release Of Macromolecules And Methods Of Making Same
Petr Kuzma - Princeton NJ Harry Quandt - Bensalem PA
Assignee:
Hydro Med Sciences, Inc. - Wilmington DE
International Classification:
A61K 914
US Classification:
424486, 424422, 424423, 424473
Abstract:
A method of producing a homogenous porous hydrogel useful for drug delivery is described. The pores of the hydrogel are created by diffusion enhancers to facilitate sustained delivery of macromolecules. Also described are various articles produced from these hydrogels.

Long Term Drug Delivery Devices With Polyurethane Based Polymers And Their Manufacture
Sheng-hung Kuo - Plainsboro NJ, US Petr Kuzma - Princeton NJ, US
Assignee:
Indevus Pharmaceuticals, Inc. - Lexington MA
International Classification:
A61F 2/00
US Classification:
424423, 606194, 6048901
Abstract:
This invention is related to the use of polyurethane based polymer as a drug delivery device to deliver biologically active compounds at a constant rate for an extended period of time and methods of manufactures thereof. The device is very biocompatible and biostable, and is useful as an implant in patients (humans and animals) for the delivery of appropriate bioactive substances to tissues or organs. The drug delivery device for releasing one or more drugs at controlled rates for an extended period of time to produce local or systemic pharmacological effects comprises:.

International Classification:
A61F 2/00
US Classification:
424423, 606194, 6048901
Abstract:
This invention is related to the use of polyurethane-based polymer as a drug delivery device to deliver biologically active compounds at a constant rate for an extended period of time and methods of manufactures thereof. The device is very biocompatible and biostable, and is useful as an implant in patients (humans and animals) for the delivery of appropriate bioactive substances to tissues or organs.
Octreotide Implant Having A Release Agent And Uses Thereof
The present invention is directed to the controlled delivery of gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH) agonists, preferably from a polymeric material that is implanted in the body. More specifically, the present invention relates to compositions comprised of a GnRH agonist, preferably histrelin, in a polymeric material that results in a desired and controlled delivery of a therapeutically effective amount of GnRH agonist over an extended period of time in order to treat central precocious puberty (CPP).
