摘要:
Multi-compartment pharmaceutical vials are described. In some embodiments, a multi-compartment pharmaceutical vial includes: a multi-compartment pharmaceutical storage region including a bottom wall, at least one outer wall and at least one interior wall, the bottom wall, the at least one outer wall and the at least one interior wall forming a plurality of pharmaceutical storage compartments, each pharmaceutical storage compartment including an aperture positioned opposite to the bottom wall of the pharmaceutical storage region; and an access region attached to the pharmaceutical storage region, the access region including a plurality of conduits, each with a first end and a second end, wherein the first end of each conduit is connected to one aperture in a pharmaceutical storage compartment, and the second end of each conduit circumscribes an aperture positioned opposite to the bottom wall.

Emulsion-based and micromolded (“MM”) or three dimensional printed (“3DP”) polymeric formulations for single injection of antigen, preferably releasing at two or more time periods, have been developed. Formulations are preferably formed of biocompatible, biodegradable polymers. Discrete regions encapsulating antigen, alone or in combination with other antigens, adjuvants, stabilizers, and release modifiers, are present in the formulations. Antigen is preferably present in excipient at the time of administration, or on the surface of the formulation, for immediate release, and incorporated within the formulation for release at ten to 45 days after initial release of antigen, optionally at ten to 90 day intervals for release of antigen in one or more additional time periods. Antigen may be stabilized through the use of stabilizing agents such as trehalose glass. In a preferred embodiment for immunization against polio, antigen is released at the time of administration, and two, four and six months thereafter.

Described are gastric residence structures that include an active substance. The gastric residence structures may include one or more arms that include a loadable polymeric component, an elastic polymeric component, and a separate linker component. The linker may connect the one or more arms with the elastic polymeric component. The gastric residence structures may be configured to be folded and physically constrained during administration and may be configured to assume an open retention shape upon removal of a constraint. The change between the folded shape and the open retention shape may be mediated by the elastic polymeric component that undergoes elastic deformation when the residence structure is in the folded shape and recoils when the gastric residence structure assumes the open retention shape.
摘要:
In some embodiments, a substantially thermally sealed storage container includes an outer assembly and an evaporative cooling assembly integral to the container. In some embodiments, the outer assembly includes one or more sections of ultra efficient insulation material substantially defining at least one thermally-controlled storage region, and a single access conduit to the at least one thermally-controlled storage region. In some embodiments, the evaporative cooling assembly integral to the container includes: an evaporative cooling unit affixed to a surface of the at least one thermally-controlled storage region; a desiccant unit affixed to an external surface of the container; a vapor conduit, the vapor conduit including a first end and a second end, the first end attached to the evaporative cooling unit, the second end attached to the desiccant unit; and a vapor control unit attached to the vapor conduit.
