    摘要: The present invention includes an osmotic pump that includes a means for venting an osmotic composition included in the pump before the internal pressure of the pump has the opportunity to build to such an extent that the pump is structurally compromised, such as when one or more components of the pump are physically separated. The means for venting osmotic material included in an osmotic pump according to the present invention includes a vent that allows the material included in the osmotic composition of the pump to dissipate into an environment of operation at a rate that results in dissipation of the pressure created within the osmotic pump and a reduced potential for subject discomfort or irritation.

    摘要: The present invention includes devices and methods for reducing the start-up time of osmotically driven drug delivery systems capable of delivering a desired drug at a controlled rate over time. In particular, the present invention includes osmotic pumps that have a preloaded membrane, which includes a semipermeable material that has been preloaded with a nonaqueous, incompressible liquid filler that is miscible with water. The present invention further includes methods for making such osmotic pumps. The preloaded membranes included in the osmotic pumps according to the present invention have proven to provide significant decreases in average start-up times relative to osmotic pumps that include semipermeable membranes that are not preloaded.

    摘要: The present invention includes solid-state polypeptide particles containing a polypeptide material that is stabilized against degradation at temperatures that approximate or exceed physiological conditions. In each embodiment, the polypeptide particles of the present invention incorporate a polypeptide material that is stabilized against degradation by one or more stabilizing conditions. Because the polypeptide particles of the present invention can be formulated to combine the additive effects of two or\more stabilizing conditions, where the polypeptide particles of the present invention include a stabilizing sugar, the amount of stabilizing sugar needed to achieve acceptable polypeptide stability is significantly reduced.

    摘要: The present invention includes a dosage form that releases a liquid active agent formulation over a period of time at an ascending rate. The dosage form of the present invention includes a capsule or other reservoir capable of containing a liquid active agent formulation, a driving means for expelling the liquid active agent formulation from the capsule over an extended period of time and a rate altering means for increasing the rate at which the driving means expels liquid active agent formulation from the capsule. The present invention also includes a method of manufacturing a controlled release dosage form providing the release of liquid active agent formulation at an ascending rate. The method of the present invention includes providing a capsule or reservoir suitable for containing a liquid active agent formulation, filling the capsule with a liquid active agent formulation, providing the capsule with a driving means for expelling the liquid active agent formulation from the capsule to an environment of use, and providing a rate altering means for increasing the rate at which the driving means expels the liquid active agent formulation.

    摘要: The present invention provides a reusable spring device autoinjector. The drive mechanism of the autoinjector of the present invention includes one or more drive springs formed of a shape memory alloy. Therefore, by alternating the shape memory alloy forming the one or more drive springs between austenite phase before an injection and a martensite phase after injection, the reusable autoinjector of the present invention is capable of providing an injection force that is higher than the compressive force required to cock the drive mechanism in preparation for a subsequent injection operation.
