摘要:
A method for treating multiple myeloma in newly diagnosed or previously treated patients is described. The method comprises administering a composition consisting of a combination of chemotherapeutic agents of an anthracycline antibiothic, preferably entrapped in a liposome, dexamethasone, and thalidomide, and, optionally, a reduced dose of vincristine.
摘要:
A multilayered drag delivery system with a barrier suitable for delivery of galantamine through an individual's body surface. By placing a barrier between two adjacent layers, unintended galantamine flow due to migration of a drag matrix between the adjacent matrix layers in the system to a patient is avoided.

A multilayered drug delivery system with a barrier suitable for delivery of drug through an individual's body surface. By placing a barrier between two adjacent layers, unintended drug flow due to migration of a drug matrix between the adjacent matrix layers in the system to a patient is avoided.
摘要:
A method and system for providing a terminally sterilized transdermal device adapted to delivery a parathyroid hormone-based agent. A microprojection member that includes a plurality of stratum corneum-piercing microprojections is coated with PTH-based agent formulation an exposed to sufficient radiation to sterilize the microprojection member while retaining sufficient activity of the PTH-based agent. Preferably, the microprojection member is sealed in packing with an inert atmosphere and reduced moisture. The sterilizing radiation can be gamma radiation or e-beam, preferably delivered in a dose in the range of approximately 5 - 50 kGy. Also preferably, the irradiation is performed at -78.5-25°C. In preferred embodiments, the radiation is delivered at a rate greater than 3.0 kGy/hr.
摘要:
A method for treating advanced epithelial ovarian cancer patients who attain a clinically-defined complete response after initial platinum/paclitaxel-based chemotherapy is described. The method involves administering a chemotherapeutic agent, such as doxorubicin, entrapped in liposomes.
摘要:
A method for delivering a polypeptide to the central nervous system of a mammal is provided. The method involves attaching the polypeptide to an antibody or an antibody fragment and administering the fusion polypeptide intranasally, for delivery to the central nervous system. Methods of treatment are also provided, where a therapeutically effective amount of the composition is delivered to the nasal cavity of a mammal.
摘要:
A trans-body-surface drug delivery device for the administration of at least one drug to an individual at a therapeutically effective rate. The device including reservoir having at least one drug and a thermoeffector having a first surface that is controllable to at least one of heating and cooling the reservoir to affect passage rate of the drug through the body surface.
摘要:
Formulations and methods for preparing a lyophilized composition comprising liposomes comprised of an unsaturated lipid and a hydrophobic drug associated with the liposome, and a cryoprotectant in a solution at a selected concentration. The phase transition temperature of the lipid is greater than the freezing point of the solution at the selected concentration. Preferably the lipid is palmitoyl-oleoylphosphatidylcholine and the cryoprotectant is sucrose.
